Mason Moore runs seventh in Civil War 360 Series opener
By Gary Thomas
Petaluma, CA – April 13, 2009…Returning to the site of his first outing in the F&F Racing machine last year Princeton's Mason Moore came back this past Saturday night and opened up the 2009 Civil War Series season with a seventh place finish at the Petaluma Speedway.
The California Sprint Car Civil War Series season was originally scheduled to open in Placerville on March 21, but inclement weather forced the event to be cancelled, making this most recent race at Petaluma Speedway the season opener for the traveling 360 series.
Last September Moore took to the Petaluma Speedway driving the Friends & Family Racing No. x1 for the first time and scored a fifth place finish in the feature. He returned to the track on Saturday looking for another solid night to kick off the 13 event season with California's premier winged 360 sprint car series.
The 18 year-old driver kept up his strong qualifying this season while competing in the F&F racing sprinter as he turned the second quickest lap in the 44 car field aboard the Levin's Auto Supply, 1-800 Dry Clean, Sierra Single Ply No. x1. A fifth place finish in the heat race however, forced him to run the night's b-main event.
Lining-up on the pole of semi Moore battled up front in the 12 lap contest and at the checkered crossed the line in third, to transfer into the feature. By running third in the semi Moore got his time back behind the inversion and it gave the Inventory Sales Company, Daylight West, Merit Logistics No. x1 a third row starting spot in the main event.
The 3/8 mile oval was prepared to perfection like it usually is and a long green flag run was seen, which created some hectic racing through traffic on the sticky Petaluma Speedway clay. Moore fought among the top 10 cars during the feature and after 30 laps of hard contested racing would bring home a seventh place finish for the second Saturday in a row.
With Silver Dollar Speedway taking this coming Friday off the next event for Moore will be Saturday's second Red Hawk Casino 360 Point Race at the Placerville Speedway. "Primetime" scored a seventh place finish during the opening point race on April 4 at the red-clay bullring and will attempt to put the Friends & Family Racing, A.R.T. Enterprise No. x1 towards the front of the pack this weekend.
