Note that these finishes are based on the live scoring displayed on Race Monitor and may not be reflective of the official finishes due to scoring loop errors or post race disqualifications.  Also, once my track gets going again, I doubt I will be able to continue this.  It's been fun though.  I always loved this race track


Forsberg, While, Biscardi Petaluma Speedway Winners

Petaluma, CA...The threatening skies cleared up and allowed a great night of racing to take pace Saturday night at Petaluma Speedway.  A full field of PitStopUSA.com Winged Sprint Cars saw the win in their 25 lap Main Event go to Andy Forsberg.  Steve Studebaker won the 25 lap Lumberjack's Restaraunt Street Stock feature.  A battle between the General Hydroponics Dwarf Cars and the visiting South Bay Dwarf Cars resulted in South Bay competitor Mark Biscardi getting the 20 lap feature win, while William Fatu won the 20 lap Jake's Performance Hobbies Mini Stock Main Event.

Andy Forsberg scored the win in the 25 lap PitStopUSA.com Winged 360 Sprint Car Main Event.  Second generation racer Shane Myhre led a few early laps, but it wasn't long before Forsberg and Bradley Terrell found themselves in first and second.  Gradually, Forsberg began to pull away from Terrell, and he would win by nearly a straightaway.  Terrell settled for second ahead of Mike Benson, Billy Butler, Riley Matson, Buddy Kofoid, Zack Lynsky, Kirt Organ, Roberto Kirby and Jake Haulot.  Myhre won his heat race earlier in the evening ahead of Matson, while Terrell won his heat in front of Geoff Ensign.  David Lindt II was also a heat winer ahead of Kofoid.

The Lumberjack's Restaurant Super Stock championship battle was reflected in their 25 lap Main Event as point leader Matt While battled with two time division champion Steve Studebaker.  While set the pace at the start ahead of Studebaker, and the two cars pulled away to leave Gary Adams to battle with Mitch Machado and past champion Jim "Woody" Woodward for third.  Woodward grabbed third on lap five, but he soon surrendered the spot to Adams.  As While and Studebaker ran out front, Woodward and Garrett Brady passed Adams for third and fourth by lap 12.  A yellow flag flew on lap 15.  Studebaker used the restart as his opportunity to grab the lead from While.  Brady took third from Woodward on lap 20.  Studebaker stayed smooth down the stretch and grabbed a checkered flag just ahead of While.  Brady finished third ahead of Woodward, Ryan Cherezian, former Dirt Modified racer Dean Stocker, division iron man Shawn McCoy, Roger Miller, Many Avilla and Adams.  While grabbed a heat race win ahead of Mitch Machado, and Studebaker won his heat ahead of Adams.

Petaluma's General Hydroponics Dwarf Cars hosted the visiting South Bay Dwarf Cars, and the result was a close finish in their 20 lap race.  Coming off of back to back wins at Antioch Speedway, Mark Biscardi set the pace from the start ahead of Justin Yanez and defending champion Dave Mosier.  Forced to earn his start with a B Main win, 2015 Antioch champion David Teves was up to fourth by lap 10.  Teves made quick work of Mosier on lap 11 and began to reel in Yanez.  Leader Bicardi's pace was slowed just a bit in the latter stages as Teves caught Yanez.  The lead trio ran within a second of each other.  Teves made a last lap pass on Yanez, but he was unable to pass the flying Biscardi.  Biscardi was a happy winner ahead of Teves, Yanez, Mosier, Gene "Punky" Pires, Nick Squatritto, Eric Weisler, Carroll Mendenhall, Chad Matthias and Jack Haverty.  The group ran four heat races with wins going to Pires, Matt Hagerman, Mosier and E. Weisler.  Teves won the 10 lap B Main ahead of Zack Albers and Bill Delfield.

William Fatu enhanced his Jake's Performance Hobbies Mini Stock championship hopes by winning their 20 lap Main Event.   However, much of the night belonged to Darien Balestrini.  Balestrini started the night off with a heat win.  Balestrini was looking to back up his win from last week with another victory, and he led much of the Main Event.  He never quite shook the tenacious Fatu, who ran not too far behind him.  When mechanical issues arose for Balestrini after 17 laps, Fatu seized the moment to get the lead and bring it home to victory.  Austin Ohlinger was second ahead of Snazzy Duckworth, Steve Studebaker, Mike "Squirelly" Curley, Balestrini and Sid Hess.
