Placerville, Calif. — Kalib Henry withstood a late-race challenge from second-year driver Landon Brooks to bring home his fifth career Thompson’s Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Car victory at Placerville Speedway on Saturday.
The triumph for Henry came at the helm of the Brown Eagle Racing No. 01, which moved him into a tie with Tanner Carrick and Jimmy Trulli respectively on the all-time win list at the track.
Kalib Henry inherited the lead and pulled away to a sizable advantage, until Landon Brooks began to cut away at that as lapped traffic came into play.
With the crowd coming to their feet, Brooks inched to the inside for the lead with a few circuits remaining, but Henry remained poised and kept his momentum on the high side to drive back around and maintain the lead.
Jake Morgan won the Joe Hunt Magnetos Wingless Tour, with Nick Baldwin winning the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks and Mike Miller winning in the Mountain Democrat Mini Trucks.
