GOLOBIC
SIGNS RIDES FOR UPCOMING ASCS NATIONAL AND USAC
WESTERN EVENTS
FREMONT, CALIFORNIA (July
27, 2012)
– Current Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo points leader Shane Golobic has
announced multiple races and rides to add to his already diverse 2012
menu. Golobic will drive in the #22
Keith Day Trucking entry in the upcoming ASCS National Tour events at Hanford and Santa Maria, and follow that up
with at least half a dozen appearances for Keith Ford in USAC/CRA and USAC West Coast 360
competition.
Golobic
has had a hugely successful season, running consistently in the top-five in a
majority of his starts across the Ocean Sprints, King of the West, and USAC
& BCRA Midget races. Golobic's
consistent season has yielded one victory at Placerville Speedway in the BCRA
Midgets on June 30th.
This
week will be a great opportunity for Golobic driving the #22 Keith Day Trucking
car normally driven by Ocean Sprints champion Ronnie Day. Golobic will race on Saturday night at Hanford and Sunday evening at
Santa Maria Speedway in the televised ASCS National Tour races.
"I couldn't be more excited about the
opportunity to drive the #22," Golobic said. "It's some of the best equipment on the
West Coast. I think we'll be pretty
competitive and the car felt pretty good (when we practiced) on Friday. Hopefully I can do something big against
those ASCS guys!"
Golobic
will also race Friday in a points race for the Ocean Sprints, driving Steve
Osborne's #9J. The month of August will
be a busy one for Golobic with five starts currently scheduled with Keith Ford
in the #73 USAC Sprint Car.
The Golobic
and Ford pairing began at Santa Maria in a USAC/CRA race in June that produced a strong
fifth place finish. Golobic will compete
in the USAC/CRA races on August 10th at Ocean Speedway Watsonville, August 11th at
Santa Maria Speedway, August 18th at the half-mile Perris Auto Speedway, and
August 19th at Victorville Speedway. He
will also run the USAC West Coast 360 race at Hanford on August 4.
"A few
weeks back they were looking for a driver for a CRA race down in Santa Maria and Ryan
Bernal threw my name in the hat," Golobic. "They have an awesome car and a great team! I'm just really looking forward to it.I'll just go out there and gas it up and see
if we can run up front against those USAC guys."
A San Jose
State Engineering student, Golobic is relishing the opportunity to return to
Perris after racing there last year in the Oval Nationals.
"I've
raced quite a few times down at Perris including at the end of last year in the
Joe Vonschriltz #121," Golobic said. "I'm really excited to head down there in a car that I know will be
perfect for me. Those CRA guys are tough to beat and that is
one of my favorite tracks. It's really
different...and I'm hoping to add that to the list of tracks that I have been
competitive at."
