SACRAMENTO, CA- (4-29-13) – The Joe Hunt Magnetos Wingless Sprint Shootout Series heads to Rick Faeth’s scenic 3/8th of mile Petaluma Speedway this Saturday night, May 4th. Defending champion Terry Schank Jr. will lead an impressive cast of characters into this weekend’s racing. The close, fierce nature of this series is what traditional open wheel sprint car fans love.
What makes this race even more intriguing is the abundance of Pit Stop USA wingless sprint cars that run the Petaluma weekly shows. Top drivers like Zack Lynsky of Fairfield, Geoff Ensign of Sebastopol and Scotty Dupont of Santa Rosa are some of the names that are ready to battle it up with the cars and stars of the Hunt Series. Track announcer Ron Lingron said, “It’s a melting pot of the best non-wing drivers in Northern California when the Hunt Series rolls into Petaluma. We have built up our base of cars and when you add the traveling Hunt cars, it makes for an entertaining show.”
Opening round winner Scott Hall of Rio Linda will look to add another victory to his impressive start of the year. Hall captured the Sherm Toller win at MRP before winning the Silver Cup at Chico for the second year in a row. Defending Chico champion Rowdy McClenon of Anderson continues to prove he is one of the top drivers in the series. McClenon has already secured one win this year at Chico. Napa’s Joe Stornetta is one of the youngest but most promising wheel men in the series. Stornetta is always a driver in the hunt for the win. Stockton’s DJ Johnson won the opening round of Pit Stop USA wingless racing on April 13th. Chico’s Taylor Nelson is another driver with the opportunity to win given the right circumstances.
