CHASE JOHNSON TRIUMPHS AT BAKERSFIELD
BAKERSFIELD, CA – MAY 8, 2021… Taking the lead in the last corner, Chase Johnson (Penngrove, CA) scored his first AMSOIL USAC/CRA Sprint Car win of the year at Bakersfield Speedway. Making his first start in the May Motorsports’ #8M Fastenal / Coopers Propane Maxim, Johnson became the fourth driver to win using a 360 cubic-inch iron block engine. “The Demon” Damion Gardner, fast qualifier Brody Roa, Chris Gansen, and “The Cadillac” Cody Williams followed Chase to the checkered flags.
Johnson and “Hollywood” Danny Faria Jr. (Tipton, CA) tied for the night’s In Memory of Jim & Chet Gardner Hard Charger Award. Chase ran from sixteenth to victory, while Faria powered from twenty-second to seventh. Point leader “The Big Game Hunter” Austin Williams took home the Shawn McDonald Memorial Feature award with a sixth place finish..
Starting on the pole position, former Ascot racer Verne Sweeney led the opening four circuits. Troy Rutherford took over the top spot and led until contact with a slower car knocked both drivers out of the race. With nine laps down, Gardner inherited the lead and looked for his second win in a row. Charging from sixteenth, Johnson had other ideas and scored his third career feature win with USAC/CRA.
Roa topped the night’s Woodland Auto Display Qualifying by posting a time of 13.223 over the 23-car roster. That marked the sixth quick time of his career.
The night’s 10-lap heat race victories went to Johnson (Flowdynamics First Heat), Austin Williams (Huntington Beach Glass & Mirror Second Heat), and Tommy “Thunder” Malcolm (All Coast Construction Third Heat).
The non-winged 410 sprints will return to action on Saturday, May 22nd at Perris Auto Speedway (Perris, CA) for the annual “Salute to Indy.”
