PCS Championship Finale Approaching October 14th



Via PCS Media

ROSEVILLE, CALIFORNIA (September 28, 2017) – The fourth running of the Pacific Challenge Series “October Classic 100” presented by PenneyLawyers.com will for the second time serve as the series’ championship race, Saturday October 14th. The 100 lap Super Late Model race at All American Speedway in Roseville, CA is the undercard for the NASCAR K&N Pro Series, West. North State Modifieds for their championship race, a Bomber Open Show, and Skid Plates round out the busy night of entertainment scheduled.

The points battle is the closest in series history and contains some familiar characters, with 2015 champion John Moore of Granite Bay and 2014 champion Mike Beeler of Modesto tied. Beeler won the championship thanks to a fifth place finish in the inaugural edition in 2014. The race went non-points in 2015 and was won by Moore after he clinched the title two weeks earlier at Ukiah Speedway ahead of Beeler.

Beeler again finished second in the standings in 2016 while the October Classic was won by Cameron Park’s Jason Romero. Beeler should mathematically earn his fourth consecutive top-two in the standings just by taking the green flag thanks to a 42 point cushion on Cole Moore of Granite Bay in third. But Beeler has his sights set firmly on the series championship and is still looking for his first win of the season as well.

None of the nine races this year have had a repeat winner, beginning with Carlos Vieira storming to win the season opener at Madera, followed by Derek Copeland at Shasta, Jeff Bischofberger at Stockton, and Cole Moore at Roseville in June. All four were first-time PCS winners before John Moore won Stockton in July followed by a first time win for Reno’s Randy Hedrick at Ukiah.

Jacob Gomes won his second career PCS race by taking August’s round at Madera before 2016 Rookie of the Year Matt Wendt won his first career event at Stockton in September. Jason Romero’s fifth career PCS win came at Roseville two weeks ago in the prelude to the series championship.

Wendt is fourth in the points ahead of 2017 Rookie of the Year Jack Wood with his cousin Travis Milburn of Eagle, ID in sixth. Romero, 2016 Shasta winner Tracy Bolin, Mike Hite of Elk Grove, and three-time track champion Matt Scott round out the top-ten. Loomis’ Chris Scribner is 11th ahead of Hedrick. Roseville favorite and 2006 Westcar champion Shannon Mansch is 14th.

A host of drivers from across the region are expected to take on the series’ regulars in the biggest race of the year. Pre-entry is open now at www.PacificChallengeSeries.com/competition with drivers urged to pre-enter to be eligible for a prize awarded to each main event starter.

A $400 K&N Filters certificate for 12th is also among the prizes.

The championship race is paired with the NASCAR K&N Pro Series, West, North State Modifieds, Bombers, and Skid Plates in a very busy night of racing! Ticket details available at BMRNAPA.com
