Shannon McQueen Dominates BCRA Midget Feature at Placerville
 

By Robert Haugh

Bakersfield's Shannon McQueen was the class of the field once again, dominating the 30-lap Bay Cities Racing Association Midget feature at the 1/4-mile red clay Placerville Speedway on Saturday, June 5 in the McQueen Racing #7 Spike/Esslinger.

After taking the lead on the opening lap, McQueen dominated the field, leading all 30 laps en route to a convincing and decisive victory over a hard-charging Shane Golobic of Fremont in Doug Bock's #26 Spike/Esslinger, Visalia's Gregg Bragg in Dave LaMott's #0 HotHead Engine Heaters Power Up Concrete Pumping Special Things Sheetmetal Stealth/Bob Wirth Honda, 1999 BCRA champion Matt Streeter aboard his #14jr T&T Trucking Delta Demolition Spike/Ed Pink Ford and reigning BCRA champion "Mr. Excitement" David Prickett of Fresno rounding out the Top five aboard the Neverlift Motorsports Manitowoc #15 TCR/Van Dyne.

Following the lead five to the checkers were Scott Pierovich in sixth aboard his #35 Good Guys Rod & Custom Mid Coast Transportation Spike/Bob Wirth Mopar, open wheel racing legend Jimmy Sills of Elverta aboard Dave Thurston's #17 Spike/Esslinger, 2008 BCRA champion and current BCRA Midget points leader Nick Foster, Jr. of San Jose aboard Jim Fowler's #1 Fowler’s Zero-Zero Motorsports’ Windows Unlimited "Blue Bayoo" Beast/Esslinger, Bakersfield's Wink Schweitzer aboard his own #60 Stealth/Fontana and Angwin's Britton Bock rounding out the Top ten aboard his #67 TCR/Esslinger. Sills was hoping for better results, however on the opening lap, his right rear wheel became packed with mud, unbalancing his rear suspension majorly.

Dominating her second consecutive Midget feature – Newlywed McQueen has now won her first two races back after being sidelined from a major Midget crash earlier this year at Perris Auto Speedway.
