USAC CRA 410 - Santa Maria Speedway - Santa Maria, CA

Ryan Bernal out of Hollister, CA driving the King Racing Products / A&A Precision CNC Machine / Berry Pack #73 of Josh Ford Motorsports started the evening running fast and never let up. 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.

Bernal out of Hollister, CA was 2nd fast and started Heat 2 in 6th. In the ten lap second heat, Ryan took 2nd! This put him starting 5th in the main. 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.

Ryan takes 5th in Hanford - August 3, 2013

USAC West Coast Sprint - Kings Speedway - Hanford, CA

We had a fresh, dyno’d in motor going into Hanford for a the 6th annual “Jim Evett Memorial”. Bernal, Jimmy and ‘The Team’ was feeling pretty optimistic.

We blew the motor in qualifying, not getting a time, starting in the back of the field for the Heat and the Main. In the short 10 laps, running the backup Josh Ford Motorsports King Racing Products / A&A Precision CNC Machine / Berry Pack #73 in Heat 2, Bernal powered his way up to take 4th in the heat.

Starting in the back, outside 11th row, for the 30 lap Feature that was plagued with caution flags, Bernal out of Hollister gradually, persistently gained on the field. Driving his way up to 8th, flattening the left rear tire and having to start 12th after the red flag caution on the 11th lap did not stop Ryan. Then with just 6 laps to go after spinning out and again starting in the back, Bernal powered his way to a 6th place finish.

After official scoring came in, Ryan claims 5th for the “Jim Evett Memorial”.
