Sacramento California -- When opportunities arise things can happen real fast. Spears SRL front runner Josh Combs of Sacramento, Ca has had a busy few days. What was looking to finish as a normal work week has turned into an incredible opportunity and a trip to the NASCAR Toyota Shoot out in a K&N West Series entry.
Early Thursday afternoon Josh was contacted by Ferarri-Corsaro Motorsports with a request to be in Las Vegas for a test on Saturday morning. With only a few minutes to provide an answer he accepted an unknown opportunity. With a very successful and impressive test in Las Vegas, Josh will be provided an opportunity to compete for long time car owner Bob Corsaro. In addition to the opportunity to compete for Corsaro, Josh will be working with the defending K&N Series West Championship team of Sunrise Ford. Following the test Josh had these comments. ” The test went really well; the whole team is really excited to get to Irwindale and perform. It is a dream come true to compete in front of a national TV audience and showcase the talent that is coming out of the SRL series. Bill (Sedgwick) provided a perfect car for the test in Vegas and the Sunrise Ford Team can definitely do the same at Irwindale.”
The sponsors providing this opportunity at the shootout are GrapeKing, Giumarra Vineyards Corp, Sunrise Ford and Ron's Rear Ends. Josh wishes to thank his longtime supporters especially Dan Joiner and the rest of Joiner Motorsports. “Without Dan’s guidance and support, I do not think I could have been prepared for this opportunity” Said Combs.
Leading the charge in Combs’ bid for an outstanding shootout showing will be Bill Capriati, Bob Jones and Bill Sedgwick. For the Toyota Shootout combs will campaign the #9 car entry. Josh would also like to thank his personal sponsors as well: California Upholstering, Country Bear, Finishline Racing Equipment, DJ Safety, and Joes Racing Products. And a special thanks to Grandpa, Grandma, Mom & Dad, Bob Corsaro, Junior Joiner, Dan Joiner, Bill Sedgwick and Robert Sedgwick.
