8/17/23… Watsonville, California: Friday Night, Ryan Rocha would hit the track at Ocean Speedway with the Taco Bravo Winged 360 Sprint Cars. He would have a good night going before getting upside down & finishing in the 14th spot.
Ryan kicked the night out with time trials. He would time the 5R in 6th quickest overall. He would go out as the 10th of 20 cars to hit the track for time trials. Ryan was able to lay down a time of 11.266 which put him 6th quick.
That lined Ryan up on the inside of the second row in the 3rd spot. Lining up in 3rd Ryan would need to finish as high up as possible to get a good starting spot for the feature event. After starting 3rd, he would fall backwards a position, and finish tbe beta race in the 4th spot.
When the feature event rolled around, Ryan started on the outside of the fourth row in the 8th position. He was the second highest up starting driver after the dash drivers. He had a solid start to the feature event, as he battled inside of the top-10 & had a good race going.
Unfortunately on lap twenty, things changed for Ryan. While battling for position, Ryan would have a pretty tough flip. He would land on the wing, but was uninjured. That brought Ryan’s night to an early end, and he would be marked with a 14th place finish on the night.
It wasn’t the end that Ryan & his team wanted on Friday Night. They continue to put a fast car on the track & have gotten better the more they hit the track. Unfortunately, they won’t be in action this weekend after Ryan’s flip on Friday Night.
Ryan’s 2022 stats: 20’events, 16 features, 0 wins, 0 top-5’s, 2 top-10’s.
