Inside Line Promotions

– EASTON, Calif. (May 31) – Tommy Tarlton wasn’t in a sprint car last weekend, but that didn’t stop him from going fast.

Tarlton, his family and some friends went camping on the Central Coast of California, where they raced on the dunes among other festivities.

“We camp there and go tear it up,” Tarlton said. “I’ve got a bunch of toys we take out there and break.

“It was great. I had a good time.”

The Easton, Calif., native returns to the cockpit of his race car on Friday at Ocean Speedway in Watsonville, Calif., with the Ocean Sprints Series. Tarlton is currently second in the points, only 13 behind Ronnie Day for the lead.

The two-time defending Ocean Sprints champion has recorded two top-four finishes in three races at the ¼th-mile dirt oval this season.
