One of the dark horses of this weekend is Jacob Gomes of Manteca, CA, the driver of the number 16, Sunny Valley Smoked Meats Toyota. Gomes is no stranger at Stockton 99 Speedway. He has been winning Championships at the Speedway in both Mini-Cup and Baby Grand. Gomes was 2009 NASCAR NATIONAL ROOKIE OF THE YEAR in his late model. He also has a win this year at the Stockton 99 Speedway in the SRL Spears Southwest Tour Series Race in April.
A total of seven cars took the opportunity to test on the ¼ mile high banked oval including Holmes’ team mate Cameron Hayley in the Cabinets by Hayley/NAPA Batteries Toyota, Austin Dyne driver of the William Rast Ford, and Jonathon Gomez in his Century Boatland Chevrolet.
Not to be out done by the guys, 18 year old Jessica Brunelli of Castro Valley, CA, driving the #88 Pick-N-Pull Chevy Monte Carlo in her debut at Stockton, also had a strong showing. This is Brunelli’s first season with Pick-N-Pull and she will run a limited West Coast schedule.
The K&N Pro Series is NASCAR’s premiere Home Town Track series that showcases the future stars of NASCAR’s Sprint Cup and is some of the most exciting short track racing in the sport. This action packed series has birthed many of NASCAR's notables such as Kevin Harvick, Clint Bowyer, and Martin Truex Jr., all of whom got their start in racing in the division before moving into the Sprint Cup cars.
Also, on the bill, will be the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series, Modifieds, Super Stocks, and Legends of the Pacific.
