Forster, Scruggs, Cook Win At Rocky Hill Speedway

Porterville, CA...July 23...A four division program was on tap to entertain the fans Saturday night at Rocky Hill Speedway in Porterville. The program also included the third visit of the season by the Mod Lites division, and Zach Forster won their 20 lap Main Event. In other action, it was Michael Scruggs winning the 20 lap Hobby Stock Main Event, while Jason Cook was the winner of the 20 Mini Stock feature. Roy Atchison continued to roll with his latest Super 4 Main Event triumph. The winners in each division were awarded some very nice trophies.


The Mod Lites competed at the Kern County Raceway dirt track the night before and still provided an 11 car field for Rocky Hill Speedway on short notice. Zach Forster was second on Friday night, and he took it up a notch by holding off Anthony Balcazar for the Main Event win on Saturday night. Bakersfield Speedway point leader Jerry Flippo finished third ahead of Jeff Thompson and former Mini Dwarf star J.D. Brown. Brown had a strong third place showing the night before. Kyleigh Forster finished sixth, followed by Jake Pike, Kenny Cochran, Roy Maynard, Kaden Cochran and Matt Mayo.


It seems like the road to Hobby Stock Main Event victory goes through reigning Rocky Hill champion Raymond Noland Jr. and reigning Bakersfield champion Kevin Collier. The duo usually finish up near the front of the pack. Saturday night, Michael Scruggs entered the fast lane and raced by both of them for his first feature win of the season. Noland would take the checkers in second, followed by Collier. Jason Purvis had his best showing of the season in fourth, followed by Jake Peters, rookie Jared Plumlee, Jack Roberts, Karl Noland Jr., American Stock point leader Bob Ellis and Gene Glover.


Mini Stock point leader Jason Cook seems to be reestablishing some momentum. Coming off of his second place finish to Lance Gonzales last time out, Cook charged to his third win of the season. Clifton Massey returned to action and finished a strong second ahead of Memorial Day Weekend winner Zack Westlake. Gonzales is listed as being disqualified from the 12 car field, while Steven Scott and Wade Moore completed the Top 5 in the finishing order. Clinton Massey was sixth, followed by Cory Mata, Matt Brumley, Candy Noland-Soares and Kit Murphy,.


In the Super 4 division, the Roy Atchison Victory Train kept right on rolling. The point leader drove to another 20 lap feature win ahead of Kit Murphy and Justin Atchison. Darren Esterman and Lance Gonzales were Main Event scratches.


Racing continues on August 6th with a program featuring Hobby Stocks, Mini Stocks, Super 4's and American Stocks.
