Antioch, CA — Kimo Oreta won the 17th Annual Chet Thomson Memorial Hardtop race Saturday night at Antioch Speedway.<\/p>\n

The race had to be restarted after front row starters Joel Hannagan and Tommy Thomson bumped wheels racing to the green flag.\u00a0 Hannagan was eliminated as Thomson spun into one of the big infield tires.\u00a0 Terry DeCarlo led the restart.\u00a0 An outside pass on the backstretch on the third lap gained Oreta the lead.\u00a0 Oreta pulled away to a big lead as DeCarlo and Ken Retzloff battled fiercely for second.\u00a0 A yellow flag for debries bunched the field on lap 15 and erased Oreta’s lead.\u00a0 However, Oreta resumed command on the restart and brought it home to an impressive victory.\u00a0 DeCarlo held off Retzloff for second as Thomson and Matt Dragoon completed the Top 5.<\/p>\n

Oreta returned later to win the 20 lap Limited Late Model Main Event.\u00a0 This was the sixth win of the season for Oreta as he clinched his second championship in the last three seasons.\u00a0 Michael Burch led the first five laps before Oreta charged by in Turn 4 to take over.\u00a0 Mike Gustafson made a low pass in Turn 4 of the ninth lap to take second, and Jon Haney spun in Turn 4 for the only yellow flag on lap 11.\u00a0 Oreta continued to lead on the restart as Ryan Cherzian took second from Gustafson.\u00a0 Oreta ran smoothly down the stretch and held off Cherezian for the win.\u00a0 Gustafson settled for third ahead of Mike Walko and Haney.<\/p>\n

Troy Foulger won the 20 lap A Modified Main Event.\u00a0 This was Foulger’s first visit of the season after wrapping up the Merced Speedway championship, and the four-time Antioch champion looked good in victory behind the wheel of the Bowers Racing Modified.\u00a0 Reigning champion Nick DeCarlo took the lead from Buddy Kniss on the second lap.<\/p>\n

Foulger quickly moved into second, and he and DeCarlo traded slide job passes for the next few laps.\u00a0 Following a lap eight yellow flag, Foulger raced into the lead on the resart.\u00a0 DeCarlo had a push exiting Turn 4 on lap 10, and Jeff Decker raced by on the inside for second.\u00a0 However, Foulger drove a flawless race and won ahead of Decker, DeCarlo, new champion Buddy Kniss and Justin Gant.<\/p>\n

Trevor Clymens won the 20 lap B Modified Main Event.\u00a0 This was he third win of the season for the two-time champion.\u00a0 He charged into the lead when the green flag waved on the non-stop race. Trevor Clymens ran a fast pace and built up a straightaway advantage over Kevin Brown by the time the race ended.\u00a0 Troy Foulger and point leader Tommy Fraser had a close battle for third, and Fraser finally made the pass in Turn 2 on lap 15 to grab the championship clinching third place finish.\u00a0 Foulger and Tommy Clymens Jr rounded out the Top 5.<\/p>\n

Jason Robles won the 20 lap Hobby Stock Main Event.\u00a0 This was his first win of the season. Robles had a front row start and charged into the lead ahead of Will Buirch and point leader Chris Sorensen.\u00a0 They ran 18 laps without a yellow flag, and a slower car in the path of the second place battle allowed Sorensen to make an inside move on the front stretch for the lead.\u00a0 However, the close contact racing left debris on the track.\u00a0 A yellow flag waved, negating Sorensen’s pass as there is no racing to the yellow flag.\u00a0 Robles led the restart and brought it home to the checkered flag.\u00a0 Buirch had a career best second ahead of Sorensen, Breanna Troen and Ken Johns.<\/p>\n

After a week off, we return on October 5th with Donna Soares Memorial Hall Of Fame Night.\u00a0 The All Star Racing Series A Modifieds, DIRTcar Late Models, Limited Late Models, Hobby Stocks and Bay Area Hardtops will be competing.\u00a0 For further information go to www.antiochspeedway.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
