Stanbrough and JFM are gaining momentum! Take 5th first night at Oval Nationals 2013!

With just 3 races together to date, we have gotten stronger, more confident and have placed better each race.

18th Annual BUDWEISER OVAL NATIONALS | Perris Auto Speedway | Perris, CA

Thursday - "USAC Grudge Series" USAC Western Sprint Car Series VS USAC Southwest Sprint Car Series.

Last night was the 360 part of the 3 days of the Budweiser Oval Nationals with the ‘Grudge Series’, where 36 of the nation’s best sprint drivers and teams put it all out on the track. It was an exciting night of racing!

Jon Stanbrough and the dialed in JFM King Racing Products / A&A Precision CNC Machine / Berry Pack #73 put in a time of 16.902 for 4^th fast to get the evening started. A bit of bad luck on Stanbrough’s heat race, where Jon got into Bruce St. James coming around turn 2 on the third lap and flattened his right front tire. This put him in the back where he stayed for the Heat 4. Stanbrough started on the pole and easily stayed out front through the 10 lap semi, taking the checkered and winning it.

The Feature for the 1^st round of the 2013 Budweiser Oval Nationals, Stanbrough started on the inside of the 9^th row, 17^th. Coming from the back, Jon quickly powered his way up to 12^th/13^th where we had some yellows around the 3^rd through 5^th laps. By the 10^th lap of the 30 lap feature, Stanbrough was running 9^th where he traded the 8^th and 9^th positions all the way through to the long yellow of the 27^th lap where several cars got tangled in turn 1… should have been a red. On the restart, Jon was running 8^th and surged to 6^th. With 1 lap to go, Clauson taking hold of the race but got up on the rubber and spun into the wall on 3/4 just as Stanbrough was charging 5^th and even 4^th as they threw the yellow. The race ended there on the 29^th lap and they gave Stanbrough 5^th. Jon did get the Hard Charger for the 17^th – 5^th.

Qualified – 4^th
Heat 4 – NT (6^th)
Semi – WINS (1^st)
Feature – 5^th (17^th)

Tonight we are still here in Perris where the perfect 72 degree is agreeable with JFM and fans alike. This will be the USAC National & CRA Sprint Cars. For the next 2 days we will have Stanbrough wheeling the 410 #73. Excited to get out there and put it all on the track!!
