Ryan Bernal takes it to the field in Hanford, takes the checkered flag!
USAC WEST COAST 360 SPRINT – May 11 – Hanford, CA - Kings Speedway - "Billet Cup"
Lately, Bernal and the JFM team do not go home with anything less than a win!
Ryan Bernal out of Hollister, CA, and the Josh ford Motorsports team started the evening running their new 360 in the qualifier. The shiny new white JFM 73 car rolled onto the track and did not finish the first lap. Motor problems.
Now, piloting the backup #73 King Racing Products / A&A Precision CNC Machine in the qualifier, Ryan was 8th quick overall, putting him to start 4th in the second heat. Coming from the fourth spot Ryan powered his way to a 2nd place finish just behind Austin Liggett in the 10 lap Second Heat. With a field of 18, the “Billet Cup” here in Hanford, ran two 12 lap qualifiers. Ryan started the Second Qualifier in 6th, finishing 4th taking him to second in points for the ‘Cup’.
Racing the backup car, though the car that has taken Ryan and JFM to the winners circle 5 times running, Bernal started way towards the back of all contenders in 14th for the 40 lap Feature. Ryan pushed his way through the field methodically, weaving his way to the front getting by Dennis Howell in the 37th lap and taking home the win! We won the Feature, though we just missed winning the ‘Cup’ by 1 point. Great night of racing!

Ryan Bernal Wins in Placerville - 5-4-13
Ryan Bernal brings home yet another win for Josh Ford Motorsports, Inc.!

USAC WESTERN CLASSIC – May 4, 2013 – Placerville, California – Placerville Speedway

Ryan Bernal, running the Jimmy May and crew tuned Josh ford Motorsports #73 King Racing Products / A&A Precision Machine Spike machine is on fire! Ryan has taken the checkered flag in 4 straight races. He has won or placed 2nd in the last seven West Coast and Western Classic series races giving him a healthy lead in the point’s for both. Bernal, out of Hollister, CA has won both Western Classic races put on so far this year.
Saturday night Ryan dominated the ¼ mile clay track in Placerville, CA. He was 5th quick and took second in the 8 lap Second Heat. Bernal started on the inside of the second row of Saturday's 30 lap feature event and chased Max Adams as he took the initial lead. Adams would lead the event for the first four laps until Bernal overtook him in turns one and two on the fifth lap, a position he never relinquished. Once in front, Bernal distanced himself from Adams and the rest of the field. When the checkered flag flew it was all Ryan Bernal. Incredible run!
Bernal WINNERS CIRCLE – "I love racing at this place, If we come back here again I'm personally going to work on getting us even more cars because this is a fast track. It's great to win another one of these races like this."
