Inside Line Promotions – FRESNO, Calif. (June 8, 2022) – Dominic Scelzi returns to King of the West-NARC Fujitsu Series competition this weekend with a 45-point lead in the championship standings.
Scelzi has recorded a podium result during each of the first eight series races this season and he’s hopeful that streak continues on Friday at Ocean Speedway in Watsonville, Calif., during the 34th annual Pombo-Sargent Classic and Saturday at Placerville Speedway in Placerville, Calif., during the 31st annual Dave Bradway Jr. Race.
Scelzi has one series victory at each track, winning at Ocean Speedway in 2019 and at Placerville Speedway during the Dave Bradway Jr. Race last season.
“I feel pretty good,” he said. “Historically, Watsonville has been one of my best tracks, but it’s changed so much the last few years it’s hard to know what to expect. This year we haven’t been there so it will be interesting. Last year I think those were our two worst NARC runs with a DNF and an 11th so hopefully it goes smoother.”
Despite a couple of rough results with the series last year, Scelzi recorded a pair of 360ci wins and five total podiums at Ocean Speedway in 2021.
“Placerville is a place I’ve historically struggled at until last year,” he said. “We rolled in there and ran fourth in a 360 race and then went there and led every lap of the NARC race to win. Hopefully we can time in well both nights and have smooth, efficient nights at each track to continue our podium streak.”
