ANTELOPE, California — A sellout crowd at All American Speedway in Roseville were on hand watch as Jason Fensler driving the Pick and Pull Toyota, took advantage of a fortunate turn of events to win the Toyota/NAPA AutoCare 150 presented by A-All Mini Storage, Saturday night in NASCAR K&N Pro Series West action.
"It was the ensuing restart that Fensler used to catapult himself into the lead."
Fensler, out of Wilton, Calif., moved from third to first on a Lap 142 restart to collect his first win of the 2011 season and the second of his series career in just five series starts. His first win came in 2008 at Altamont Raceway Park which was the part-time competitor's last start in a K&N Pro Series West event.
Pole-sitter Greg Pursley and three-time winner at All American Speedway Eric Holmes driving the NAPA AUTO PARTS Toyota dominated much of the event, but on Lap 134 the two cars got together and that allowed Moses Smith driving the Hasa Pool Products Toyota to jump into the lead. The caution flag waved again on Lap 137 when Fensler and Holmes got together. It was the ensuing restart that Fensler used to catapult himself into the lead.
Smith held on to finish second followed by Pursley, who was looking for his fourth win in his last five starts dating back to the 2010 season. Fifteen-year-old Dylan Kwasniewski took fourth in his series debut, while Eric Schmidt came away in fifth.
Holmes, who seemed to be poised for his fourth win at the track, finished sixth followed by Luis Martinez Jr">Luis Martinez Jr., Brett Thompson, Ryan Philpott and David Mayhew to round out the top 10.
The Toyota/NAPA AutoCare 150 will air on SPEED on Thursday, May 5 at 6 p.m. ET.
