Allison Duncan, #20 of San Rafael and Chris
Monez, #11 of Turlock, (Fast Time) seemed dialed in for the day but when the
green flag flew, Pete Anderson Jr., #5 of Stockton, emerged victorious in
June 4ths' Western Late Model 30-lap Main Event at Stockton 99.

replace the motor in about 40 minutes enabling Allison to qualify and compete in
the tightly contested division.
Jacob Gomes, 12 years old, of Manteca, extended his Main Event win streak at

Darter, of Stockton survived pit stops, smoky spins and three-wide passing to
win his second ALSC Main Event in a row. #1, Joe Allen of Stockton led most of
the race, with Charlie Clawson of Modesto coming up from the pack to thrill the
crowd as the three cars dueled door-to-door to the checkered flag.
It was a happy day in the Gottula household, (Driver, Son Kyle seen with father Kevin
above), as the #21 speedster from Modesto led wire-to-wire in the Grand American
Modified 50-lapr Main Event. Sporting a new look of black car with red numbers,
(new car or paint?), Gottula started from the pole and stayed there in the
unusual yellow flag free race.
