GEOFF ENSIGN TRIUMPHS AT PETALUMA

PETALUMA, CA – SEPTEMBER 19, 2020… Charging from fourth, “The Human Highlight Reel” Geoff Ensign (Sebastopol, CA) fought off D.J. Johnson to score the non-point USAC West Coast Sprint Car victory at Petaluma Speedway. Returning from a devastating motorcycle accident, Ensign took command from his wife Shayna before earning his third career series win. Johnson, “Wild” Billy Aton, Ryan Timmons, and fast qualifier Kaleb Montgomery rounded out the top-five drivers.

Making his first start in Jim Richardson’s #8 Wiesz Racing Engines DRC, Montgomery posted his third career Woodland Auto Display Fast Time Award with a time of 15.276 over the 10-car roster. 

Aton claimed the night’s Rod End Supply Hard Charger Award / Best Passing Job honors with a third place run from seventh. 

The heat race victories were claimed by Aton (Extreme Mufflers / Competition Suspension Incorporated First Heat), and Daniel Whitley (Sway-A-Way Torsion Bars / Ultra Shield Race Products Second Heat).

On October 10th, the traditional 360 sprints will make their debut at Placerville Speedway for another special non-points event. The race at the El Dorado County Fairgrounds will be broadcast live at floracing.com.
