For the first time since 2001, Tyler Walker will pilot a non-wing sprint car in Tulare this Saturday!

April 23, 2016
J.D. Heiskell & Company Appreciation Day
USAC West Coast Sprint Car Series
Thunderbowl Raceway
Tulare, CA

Tyler Walker hailing out of Hermosa Beach, CA has made a lot of left turns over the last 15 years though this will be just his fourth ever non-wing sprint car start. He is the first fourth-generation driver to compete in NASCAR since the late Adam Petty!

Walker began his 4 wheel racing career running go-karts at an early age winning four California state karting championships, racking up a total of over 200 wins. In 1997, Walker began his Sprint Car racing career taking the checkered 7 times in the All Star Circuit of Champions Series and went on to take Rookie of the Year honors in his first full season of sprint car competition.

Tyler has competed in everything from go-karts to NASCAR Busch Series, from World of Outlaws to King of the West Sprints and even the Craftsman Truck Series. Some of his many accolades include 1992–1996 California State Go-Kart Champion, 1996 Knoxville Nationals Rookie of the Year, 1997 All-Star Circuit of Champions Rookie of the Year, 2002 World of Outlaws Gumout Series Champion and 2004 USAC Silver Crown Series Most Improved Driver.

So we are thrilled to have Walker running with us this weekend in Tulare. This will the fifth points race of the 2016 season with DJ Johnson and Brody Roa leading the way in the race for the Championship. Two of the earlier dates rained out.

Day 2 of Western World is complete. All the Sprint qualifying is done. Clauson took the Sprint checkered flag as Hagen edges out Bacon for the Midgets. It all comes down to what happens tonight! Third and final day of WWC is on the horizon.

MIDGETS - Cars locked into Saturday’s dash to line up the first four rows of the “Western World Championship” feature midget race are Bell, Hagen, Bacon, Abreu, Armstrong, Darland, Clauson, and Tracy Hines. All other cars will run heat races during Saturday’s championship program. Darland is tied for 6^th we believe, with 295 points, the leader Bell has 329.

Last night, Darland and JFM put in some solid racing.

-Official-

MIDGETS –Day 2

Heat 1 – 5^th – 8 Laps
First Qualifier – WINS (2^nd) – 8 Laps
Feature – 4^th (5^th) – 30 Laps

SPRINTS – As Dave Darland wheeling the JFM #73 Sprint took 4^th on Thursday and the top four from each preliminary night (Thursday and Friday) “A” Main event will lock into Saturday’s finale.  Those eight will engage in a Revenge Draw during Saturday’s opening ceremonies to determine the Dash lineup.  The Dash finish will determine the alignment of the front four rows of the main event.

The balance of the field will be lined straight up according to preliminary night point totals in twin “B” Mains (as well as a “C” Main if necessary) to set the balance of the “A” Main starting lineup.

It’s going to be an exciting finish and we are right in this with both the Sprints and Midgets!

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!!

It’s hard to win upside down. 17 Flips tonight including Mitchell as he was leading the Feature.

Non-Winged Trophy Cup – October 17th, 2013 – Thunderbowl Raceway – Tulare, CA

Matt was one of the lucky ones not taken to the hospital. First it was Araki getting tagged by Nikko, flipping in hot laps, then Bernal flipping in time trials and then Niemela involved in a crash with Foresburg. JFM sincerely wishes all the best and a quick recovery for everyone involved in an incident tonight.

-unofficial-

After killing it with Fast Time of the evening, Mitchell started 6^th and went on to take 2^nd in his heat race. The format of the race events changed mid-stride, changing the dynamics. In the 20 lap red flag littered Main 1; Matt started 11^th and spun out on lap 2. This put him starting in the back where he gained some ground and again spinning out, again starting in the back. Mitchell pushed his way back up to finish 9^th.

Now in the Feature race, Mitchell driving the A&A Precision CNC Machine / King Racing Products / Berry Pack / CAM2 Blue Blood Racing Oils / JFM #73 started 14^th. Mitchell came charging in immediately in the 40 Lap finale, positioning himself in 5^th by lap 6 where yet another of the seemingly continuous waving red flags stopped the non-winged sprints cold. On green, he powered his way to 3^rd by lap 8, another flag. Matt took control in the 10^th lap, out in front leading… when fate took him and the JFM #73 where literally half the field had departed, wheels up.

Full and official results of this treacherous race will be posted tomorrow here and on Josh Ford Motorsports and the JFM Blog.

Tomorrow night we will be right here again at the Thunderbowl for the Southwest Contractors ‘20^th Annual Trophy Cup – Winged Sprints’. This will be a first for JFM and we are excited to get out there and not flip so much!!

Last year, Josh Ford Motorsports came into the Thunderbowl for the first ever ‘Non Winged Trophy Cup’ riding high on a cloud of success through the 2012 racing season. We were running some incredible talent and Jimmy May, winner of the ‘2012 Mechanic of the Year’, Mikey Evans and the JFM team consistently put solid and lightning fast cars on the track to compete with the best the west has to offer!

In 2012, first non-winged Trophy Cup at the Thunderbowl, Ryan Bernal guided the Josh Ford Motorsports A&A Precision CNC Machine / King Racing Products / Berry Pack #73 to WIN it all!! Bernal qualified 1^st, won his heat race, claimed 2^{nd (10th)} in the 30 lap Feature and 2^{nd (20th)} in the 50 lap Feature. This gave Bernal and JFM the WIN for the ‘Non-Winged’ Sprints!

This year our winning aspirations have not waned in the slightest. JFM will run with the accomplished and skilled Matt Mitchell for the ‘Non-Winged’ October 17^th and ‘Winged’ October 18^th and 19^th running of the ‘Trophy Cup’!

As of 9-30-13 there are 39 ‘Non-Winged’ and over 90 ‘Winged’ cars registered for the 2013 Trophy Cup. This is a very talented field, some of the most prolific drivers and race teams in the nation. This is an incredibly lucrative event with over $150,000 in Total Payout. Who wouldn't want to be a part of this fantastic and exciting 3 day extravaganza?

Crew chief Jimmy May had the car dialed in. Ryan was fast in qualifying with a 13.989. For the 8 lap first heat Bernal started 6th and finished 3rd. Going into the main we knew our chances were good with the car running fast, Ryan driving like a vet and starting on the outside of the third row. Ryan powered his way up to pass Gardner and Mitchell about the 13 laps remaining and took it all the way to the checkered flag!

This is Ryan's first CRA win of the season. He lead laps 19-30 and won the Keizer Wheels / Racing Optics Hard Charger coming from 6th to 1st.

Damion Gardner was upside down early on and Ryan pushed his way up to second where he stayed for most of the first half of the 30 lap feature. By lap 17 Bernal was out in front of the field running as fast and hard as he was all night. He held on to the lead through the 28th lap and after the last of several cautions for the evening, Bernal fell back some and claimed 5th just as he did in June.

5th Annual “Doug Fort Memorial”

Qualifying for last night’s race in Santa Maria Ryan Bernal driving the Josh Ford Motorsports A & A Precision CNC / King Racing Products #73 posted a 14.615 to put him 6^th quick. Although we had a valve break during the qualifying and was not able to use the time for the #73 car.

Chris Ennis and his team pulled a completely classy move and let us run their 86 car so we could continue on. We can’t thank Chris and the whole crew enough.

Starting in the back in the 10 lap First Heat, Ryan out of Hollister, CA made his way up to take third. This put Bernal to begin the main in the 16^th spot.

In the 30 lap Feature for the 5^th Annual ‘Doug Fort Memorial’, Ryan and another car made contact in the first corner that broke the rear end of the #86, which caused the brakes to fail flipping him into the wall. We went home with a DNF.

Ryan started 3rd in the Dash, finishing 2nd. This put him on the outside of the front row for the night’s Feature Race.

Around the 10th lap of the feature race the track began to take rubber. Ryan, at this point running a close 2nd behind the leader, started experiencing issues with his right rear tire due to the track condition. In the last 10 laps Ryan’s right rear tire was completely bald and he was unable to continue. Bernal takes with him a 13th place finish for this race.

This put him to start 6th in the 6 lap dash where he made his way up a spot to place fifth and also starting 5th for the 30 lap main event.

For the Feature, Ryan pushed his way quickly to second behind the leader and held this place for most of the race. With 9 laps to go, still running 2nd, the fence was knocked down producing a red flag. With just 4 laps remaining, the field of now 15 was back to it. On the last turn Ryan was passed, and he rolled through the checkered flag in 3rd.
