Inaugural Golden State King of the West Sprint Car Series event sees Jonathan Allard score victory
By Gary Thomas
Antioch, CA – April 9, 2011…For the second year in a row Chico’s Jonathan Allard opened the Golden State 410 season in victory lane after a rough and tumble, yet exciting 30-lap feature during the inaugural King of the West Sprint Car Series event at Antioch Speedway on Saturday.
Allard assumed the top-spot on lap seven when early leader Bobby McMahan got upside down while navigating his way through traffic. Reigning Golden State Series champion Kyle Larson then passed Allard for the point on lap-18, but the former two-time series titlist returned the favor on a restart four laps later.
It turned out to be the winning pass as Larson’s bid at victory would come to an end just two laps following that, with him flipping in turns three and four while trying to catch back up with Allard. At the checkered it was Allard claiming victory over Scotts Valley’s Evan Suggs, Grass Valley’s Jason Statler, San Jose’s Tim Kaeding and Stockton’s Brad Furr.
Full story to follow.
