JFM racing with and without WINGS in the ‘2013 Trophy Cup’ at the Thunderbowl in Tulare, CA

2013 Trophy Cup
October 17 – October 19, 2013

2nd ANNUAL Non-Winged Trophy Cup
20th ANNUAL Trophy Cup

For the first time ever, JFM will strap a wing to the #73 car for the Friday and Saturday ‘Winged’ portion of the weekend’s ‘Trophy Cup’ at the Thunderbowl.

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!

Almost There!
Drivers like Ryan Bernal, Kyle Larson, Shane Golobic, Kory Cruseman and Ronnie Gardner kept JFM on the podium all year long! 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 1st, won his heat race, claimed 2nd (10th) in the 30 lap Feature and 2nd (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 17th and ‘Winged’ October 18th and 19th 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?

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!
