WATSONVILLE, Calif. — The NARC King of the West Sprint Car Series made its first of four planned trips during the season to the newly revived Watsonville Speedway with Justin Sanders taking the checkered flag.
Chance Grasty would take advantage of his pole starting position to lead the first five laps of the 30-lap Hoosier Tire A-Main. Tim Kaeding would power around the high side of turns 1 and 2 to take the lead on lap six.
Kaeding would hold off Sanders for several restarts to lead until lap 26. A late-race restart was all Sanders needed to capitalize on the restart with four laps to go Sanders was able to throw a slide job on Kaeding into turn 1 and power to the lead.
Kaeding would get upside down in turn 4 after catching the cushion wrong.
Carson Macedo utilized the last-race restart to pick up a few positions to come home second.
Kaleb Montgomery, Jake Andreotti and Caeden Steele completed the top five.
