DATELINE: BAKERSFIELD, CA 8/4
POMBO RETURNS TO WINNING WAYS
By Dan Fleisher
Davey Pombo returned to the winner’s circle when he captured the 30-lap SCRA 360 wingless Sprint car main event at Bakersfield Speedway. It marked his second consecutive win at the 1/3-mile clay track, previously winning on May 12. He took the lead from pole-sitter Justyne Hamblin on lap seven and was never headed the rest of the way. Pombo crossed the finish line three short lengths ahead of archrival and point leader Peter Murphy. Greg Bragg was third followed by Michael Faccinto, Justyne Hamblin, Miles Bishop, Richard Harvey, Rusty Carlile, Jonathan Logan and Matt Day.
