Tony Gomes Powers to Win at Placerville Speedway



 

PETERSEN MEDIA- After showcasing a ton of speed at Placerville Speedway during the two-races over the 4th of July Weekend, Tony Gomes and C&M Motorsports continued to show case speed on Saturday night as the Modesto, CA driver scored his first feature event win of the season.

 

“Saturday was a great night, and after having a lot of speed lately, we did what we needed to do and scored a big win in front of a lot of friends and sponsors,” Tony Gomes said.

 

The night kicked off for Gomes as he timed the Lund Construction/Anrak/Sam Rhodes backed No. 7c in fifth fastest in time trials which was good enough to put him on the front row of his heat race.

 

Needing the win for the all-important redraw spot, Gomes hammered the throttle when the green flag flew and jumped into the early lead. Leading from flag to flag, Gomes’ win locked him into the feature event as well as the redraw where the two-pill put him on the front row of the feature event.

 

On a very slick Placerville Speedway surface, Gomes got into a hotly contested battle with Shane Hopkins on the opening lap, and while Hopkins led officially, a couple of exchanged sliders ultimately saw Gomes take over the spot on the second lap.

 

Out in front, Gomes set a very solid pace as he worked the tricky cushion to perfection and opened a comfortable lead over Andy Forsberg who had moved into second.

 

Traffic in the closing laps allowed Forsberg to close in on Gomes and he made sure not to make any mistakes in the closing laps of the race. The most tense moment of the night came on the white flag lap as another car slipped over the cushion in turn two and was air born in front of the leaders as he re-entered the surface.

 

Able to avoid any trouble, Gomes was able to go on and claim the popular in on King’s Meats night at the speedway.

 

“It feels great to get a win for Cody and Mandi,” Gomes said. “They have done so much for me this year, but for many years in my career. I also want to thank Cody and Bobby for working so hard to keep us fast, and a special thank you to all of our great partners who keep us out and racing.”

 

The C&M Motorsports team would like to thank Lund Construction, Anrak, Sam Rhodes, Alturas Tires, Swartz Diesel, Adrian Blanco Jewelry, Kings Meats, American Paving Systems, PT Shocks, Creason Enterprises, and all of their product sponsors for their continued support.
