Roseville, Calif. –Bill McAnally Racing will be fielding three entries in the G-Oil “150” at the historic Stockton 99 Speedway May 4th. This is the 23rd visit for the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West to this legendary track. With thirty-two cars entered on the entry list all vying for one of twenty-four starting positions, competition will be fierce.
Three-time NASCAR K&N Pro Series West Champion, Eric Holmes, back behind the wheel for BMR at a track he is very familiar with; Stockton 99 Speedway. In his three series visits to Stockton, he won the Pole Award once and finished in second place twice. He looks forward to adding a victory to his record there.
“I’m really looking forward to racing at Stockton 99,” said Holmes.”It’s a track I consider a home track and with two second place finishes; I really want to add a victory to my record here. We have a great No. 20 NAPA/Almond Ace Packing Toyota Camry and with a veteran crew chief like Trip Bruce on board; this team feels confident that we will be contending for the win.”
Making his second NASCAR K&N Pro Series West start this season piloting the familiar No. 16 NAPA AUTO PARTS Toyota is Sergio Pena. This will be Pena’s first visit to Stockton 99 Speedway.
“Recently we tested at Stockton 99 and it went really well,” said Pena. “We’ve spent a lot of time there and crew chief Ty Joiner has the NAPA Toyota Camry dialed in. I’m excited to get started next weekend. I love short track racing and I’ve heard the race at Stockton 99 is always a challenge. We’re excited and prepared to try and get our first win!”
Late Model Series driver Jamie Krzysik will make his third series start this weekend. Krzysik made his first NASCAR K&N Pro Series West start at All American Speedway in 2012 running up front and finishing 6th. The driver from Grand Prairie, Alberta, Canada piloted the No.99 First Choice Pipehandlers Toyota to an eleventh place finish earlier this season at Phoenix International Raceway.
“I’m really pumped for this weekend,” said Krzysik. “We won the 2011 Fall Classic in the Late Model Series and I can’t wait to get on track in the No. 99 First Choice Pipehandlers/Northwood Hauling Toyota Camry.” Krzysik’s crew chief will be Pete Gebhardt who is a veteran of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.
