  • Ron Searle Jr. and Don Geary qualified first and second, respectively, in the Pro Stocks division Saturday. But that order flipped in the feature, as Geary was able to pass Searle for the win. Barry Levitt, Brian O’Brien and Richard Dorman rounded out the top five in the Pro Stocks feature race.

  • Ethan Nascimento of Manteca, California, had himself a day in the Legends division Saturday. He qualified first and went on to win the feature race. Sean Hingorani, Cody Brown, Bryceton Meyer and Chasen Groff completed the top five in the Legends feature.

He both qualified first and won the feature race. Jaron Giannini, Jordan Holloway, Brandon Giannini and Levie Jones rounded out the top five in that division’s feature.
