WESTERN ALLSTARS 4-28 Notes & Winners

It was another great night of Racing for the Western Allstars at Bakersfield Speedway on Saturday night for the Kay Automotive Distributors 30. 37 cars checked in to do battle and battle they did. Some racers had called in earlier in the week saying they were not going to make it, but with 37 cars, the support from the racers was still outstanding. Mike Johnson has really been on track, since having Billy Moyer come out and help him step up his program. As everyone can see, it was a wise investement. (I hear he is bringing Richard Simmons out this week, to help get his eating on the right track) It was great to see some other racers stepping up and running great. Dino Napier. Jeff Dunham and Larry Childress all had great showings during the night. It was also nice to see some new faces at a Western Allstars Event. Anthony Restad from Santa Rosa, Chad Jones from Temecula and Jay Marks from Bakersfield all made first time appearances with the WAS. Reldon Hatch made his first visit to Bakersfield Speedway, all the way from Yerington,NV (over 400 miles). The A-Main saw some great racing action thru-out the pack with 3 drivers moving up 8 positions. Chris Shannon came away with the Little Darlins Child Care hard charger award, by finishing the highest with a 4th. Mike Johnson was untouchable and worked his way thru traffic like he was in a turn style at McDonalds. It was also great to have all the drivers spend time with the fans on the front straight away after the A-Main. Here are the nightly winners
