Stockton, CA- Sean Jones put on quite a show on Saturday night at Placerville Speedway as he rode the cushion around the ¼ mile bullring and claimed his third win of the 2021 season.
Leading the field to green was Daniel Whitley who jumped out to the early lead and worked the bottom of the speedway with Cody Fendley and Tim Sherman, Jr in tow.
The race’s third lap saw second running Fendley slip off the edge of the racing surface and surrender the second position to Sherman as the yellow flag flew.
As Whitley and Sherman used the bottom of the speedway, behind them Sean Jones was working the thick Placerville Speedway cushion to perfection as he would jump into second on the fifth lap.
While Whitley continued to work the low side of the speedway, Jones continued to pound the top and it worked out as he raced into the lead on the 16th lap.
With Jones out front and pulling away, Whitley would continue to run second with Sherman running third as the battle behind the lead trio heated up with the likes of Dylan Bloomfield, Shawn Arriaga, and Shane Hopkins.
When the checkered flag was displayed to the field, it was Jones racing to the win over Whitley, Sherman, Jr, 18th starting Bloomfield, and Arriaga rounding out the Top-5.
A total of 33-cars checked in to Placerville Speedway on Saturday night, and it was Jones getting the night kicked off in style by earning the Ashely Van Den Berg Home Loans Fast Time Award.
Jake Morgan was victorious in Benic Enterprises Heat Race No.1, Fendley won Brown and Miller Heat Race No. 2, Whitley took top honors in King Racing Products Heat No.3, and Kevin Box won Santomauro Racing Products Heat No. 4.
Marcus Hardina won the ‘B’ Main event and transferred to the A along with Bloomfield, Jarrett Soares, and Dylan Newberry.
Dylan Bloomfield was the Santomauro Racing Products Hard Charger by way of his 18th-4th effort, as Braidon Moniz was the TDS Hard Luck Award Winner.
Finishing 15th in the feature event and earning the BR Motorsports Award was Bob Newberry.
