From the Office of Forsberg Racing

     On Friday June 14th Andy was in Chico CA driving the PT Shocks 7c at a 360 open show.  Andy was 4th quick 3rd in his heat race and would start 4th in the A main event. The track was just like Andy likes rough & ragged and for the first few laps Andy struggled to make smooth laps running the preferred bottom line. After falling back to the 5th position Andy decided to try the high scary side and it worked like a charm. In 4 laps Andy went from 5th to 1st, leading the last 16 laps for his 4th win of the year.  The 3rd win on only 7 starts driving the 7c.

     On Saturday June 15th Andy and the F&F X1 headed to Hanford CA for a CA Civil War show. Andy was fast time out of 44 cars, finished 2nd in his heat race and would start 10th in the A main event, Andy had in the past had pretty good luck in Hanford on a track that was rough and fast which earlier in the night it was, but the constant wind and 105 total cars in the pits the track went from fun and tacky to dry slick dusty for the main event.  Andy pretty much maintained throughout the race coming home with an 11th place finish.  With the Civil War points leader Justin Sanders having engine problems and 2nd place Sean Becker's so so night Andy leapfrogged both drivers and is now leading Civil War points.

This up coming weekend Andy will be driving the F&F X1 in Chico CA on Friday June 21st for another Civil War show and on Saturday June 22nd again Andy will be in the F&F X1 in Placerville CA for a 360 points race

Mr. Excitement Forsberg Wheels to Victory

Silver Dollar Speedway - Chico Ca

On an eventful night at the Silver Dollar Speedway, Auburn’s Andy Forsberg lived up to his moniker as Mr. Excitement and claimed the top spot in the Non-Points Open 360 Sprint Car Main Event. “Thank you to Cody and PT Shocks for all their hard work,” stated Forsberg as he climbed out of the Cody Gainey owned PT Shocks#7c car. “I loved the track tonight, it reminded me of the Silver Dollar of old,” said Forsberg referring to the hooked up and fast track conditions tonight, that saw lap times in the high twelve second bracket during the Main Event. Second Place Finisher Sean Becker didn’t seem to like the conditions quite as much, “The track was pretty rough. Andy blew the top off and created his own line and I could keep up, but I just couldn’t get around him,” stated Becker in the pits post-race. Other winners during Wells Fargo Points Race #8 included Misty Castleberry in the Mini Stocks, Jesse Skidmore in the Hobby Stocks, Scott Kinney in the BCRA Midget Lites, Jake Vantol in the Street Stocks, and Richard Papenhausen in the Dirt Modifieds.

Cody Lamar returned behind the wheel of the Clyde Lamar owned 3c machine for the first time this season and wowed the crowd early in the Main Event. On the start Lamar would get the jump on the 18 car field and take the lead. Pole sitter Sean Becker however didn’t back down and shadowed Lamar for the first part of the race in second. But the real story was brewing behind those two as Andy Forsberg drove to the high side of the track and started picking cars off. Forsberg drove around Greg Decaires on lap 8 in turn 4, then on lap 9, he drove around Becker and Lamar in turn 4. Becker would then work the high side as well to get around Lamar on lap 14. Sean soon found Forsberg’s line and began to run him down. Just as he reached his bumper on lap 18 the caution flew as Chico’s Brad Bumgarner lost a Muffler in turn 2 and was disqualified out of the fifth running position. That set up an always exciting Forsberg/Becker showdown that the Silver Dollar Crowd has come to expect on Friday Nights. On the restart Becker went to the outside only to see the door closed by Forsberg. After one final caution on lap 22, Forsberg was able to take advantage of the clear track and drive on to victory. Sean Becker came home a smooth second in the Dan Menne owned #75 and Greg Decaires quietly secured a very solid third place finish on board the Dale Miller #4SA. Those drivers were followed by Cody Lamar and RC Smith who charged to fifth from a tenth place starting position. Sean Becker earned fast time, timing in at a 12.517. Alissa Geving returned to Silver Dollar Speedway and won Heat Race #1 and RC Smith claimed Heat #2.
