After a week off, racing returns this Saturday evening for the annual Mother’s Day weekend races at Redwood Acres Raceway. Two races have already been put in the books, the most recent occurring on April 27th.
Ryan Walters won the most recent feature event for the real stock division over Nick Green, Michael Lawrence, Matt Simon and Harvey Holm. Ryan and his brother Dustin hold the points lead for the class over Lawrence and William Sand. They are the only three drivers who started both main events thus far this season.
Young Jordon Paiment held off Ken Barrett in the roadrunner main event on the 27th, his first ever main event victory. Things are tight in the battle for the track title in the division as Jarrett Mayo holds a slim three point advantage over Tim Abeyta while Kolby Jackson, Barrett and Paiment aren’t too far behind.
Chris Sarvinski was another first-time main event winner in the most previous race, taking home the checkered flag in the Thunder Roadster division. The win gave Sarvinski the early season point edge by six markers over David Henderson. Thomas Payne, Belinda Ward and Jim Rich round out the top five drivers in the roadsters.
Brandon Barnwell’s main event victory on the 27th closed the points gap between he and Angelo Marcelli. Marcelli leads Barnwell by only three markers followed by Kenny Demello, Jerry Peterson and Al Acuna.
As previously noted, racing returns to Redwood Acres Raceway this Saturday May 11th.
