PLACERVILLE, Calif. — Tony Gomes drove to his third career Thompson’s Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Car triumph on Saturday night at the Placerville Speedway.
Joining Gomes in victory lane on Saturday were Dan Jinkerson with the Anrak Late Models, Oakley’s Nick Baldwin with the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks and Michael Murphy with the Mini Trucks.
The 25-lap winged sprint car finale finale saw Gomes charge into the lead with a very fast Drake Standley in toe. Gomes ran smooth laps out front as Standley attempted to find a way by for the top spot.
Ashlyn Rodriguez showed immense speed for the second straight week and climbed into the runner up spot on lap six. She was able to keep Gomes in sight at times, but as the race wore on it was all about the driver of the C&M Motorsports No. 7c mount.
In the end, Gomes pulled away to record his second Placerville Speedway victory of the season over Rodriguez, Michael Faccinto, Tanner Carrick and Michael Sellers
Rodriguez began the night by earning her second consecutive ADCO Driveline Fast Time Award with a lap of 11.010.
