We are happy to have the skills of Shane Golobic out of Fremont, CA wheeling the King Racing Products / Berry Pack / Jimmy May and Mikey Evans tuned JFM winged #73.

Shane has 30 total feature wins, 20 winged feature wins to his credit as well as 10 other open wheel wins in his professional driving career!

Ryan Bernal has won a lot of races, has had a lot of success running in a JFM #73. Bernal, another local out of Hollister, CA is tearing it up this year! Bernal has ran most of the WCSC Series races this year, winning 5 out of 6, last three in a row, and the race he did not win, he finished 2^nd!! Bernal has also competed in some winged sprint races this year, just last weekend claiming a 3^rd and 10^th. 

Bernal will race his first USAC CRA race of 2015 in the JFM CRA Sprint #73.

Turkey Night at Perris Auto Speedway this Thursday!

Turkey Night Grand Prix 2014

We have last year’s ‘TNGP Winner’ Dave Darland and last year’s ‘Rookie of the Year’ Trey Marcham!

Thursday, November 27, 2014

USAC Western Midgets and National Midgets
Perris Auto Speedway - Perris, CA

In 2013, ‘The People’s Champ Dave Darland wheeled the King Racing Products / Berry Pack JFM #73 to the Winner’s Circle right here at Perris Auto Speedway!

In 2014, Dave will once again saddle into the #73 car to go for a repeat. Darland is one of only three drivers to ever win this famed event on both pavement and dirt and could be the only driver to win this three times with a win Thursday night. He won here last year on dirt and in 2007 took the win in Irwindale.

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma’s Trey Marcham brought his Rookie of the Year status to JFM and has run with us all of 2014. Trey did not disappoint, taking 3 wins and 9 top ten finishes. Marcham is currently 2^nd in the Western Midget Dirt and overall Western Midget in the chase for the championship. Last Friday stymied his outlook on winning it all this year, though his talents behind the wheel are without question.

Trey will pilot the Berry Pack / King Racing Products / A&A Precision CNC #73x.

A 98 lap feature race at The PAS will conclude both the National and Western States midget seasons. At post time, Kyle Larson, Bryan Clauson, Christopher Bell, Tracy Hines, Damion Gardner, Mike Spencer, Kevin Thomas Jr and Michael Pickens to name a few of the drivers that will be competing in this celebrated race.

Come to the track down in sunny SoCal and follow the race as it happens right here.

A true winner and a class act all the way.” We are thrilled to have Dave for this race!

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!!
