BALDWIN PARK, CA (June 3, 2012)- Luis Martinez Jr.,
driver of the #30 King Taco/Position One Motorsports
Chevrolet, scored the victory Saturday night at The Bullring
at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in the Super Late Model
portion of the NASCAR K&N Pro Series Star Nursery "200"
program at the 3/8-mile banked oval.
Martinez drove a chassis named Mcfly that has been
driven with great success over the last few years by
David Mayhew, Makena Bell, (K & N east driver) Sergio Pena,
And Saturday night Martinez and the chassis performed flawlessly.
Martinez set fast time for the Super Late Model field then
drew a #4 for his starting position in the 40-lap feature race.
Martinez let the race play out and just held is position until
race leader Scott Gafforini tried to split the two lapped cars
and instead of clearing them the trio tangled bringing out the
final caution.
Cole Custer led the field on the restart, with Martinez in close
pursuit. Martinez drove inside of Custer on lap 30 and the pair
raced side-by-side for two laps until Martinez gained a clear advantage.
Martinez held the point and cruised to victory. "It was a really
clean race for the most part," Martinez said. "The team did an
awesome job setting up McFly and it was really fast when we
needed it. It is great when you can go door-to-door with another
competitor and never touch."
The Position One Motorsports team is running a variety of races
this season in both Super Late Model and Late Model action
around the region and enjoys racing at The Bullring. While
crew chief Steve Boldroff is recuperating from surgery on his
achilles tendon, the rest of the team stepped up and did not lose a beat.
Jason Allen of Las Vegas performed perhaps the most critical
job during the race spotting for the 22-year old driver.
The role of spotter is unique and essential in the success
of any driver and team. Most think the job is easy, but ask
any spotter and driver and they will tell you a whole
different story. Allen competed in the old Southwest Tour
and has spotted for Kurt Busch in the Cup series on occasion.
The McFly Super Late Model is available for rent the rest
of the season as the team will concentrate on Late Model
racing over the summer months. Contact Rip Michels at
the Position One Motorsports shop for complete details.
The next event for the team will be June 30 at Stockton (CA) 99 Speedway.
Position One Motorsports goals for 2012 will be to further
develop their winning tradition and become the premier
West Coast team for developing championship caliber drivers.
The team currently has a fleet of three ultra-competitive Late
Model cars and two equally competitive Super Late Model
entries ready for competition. A brand new Late Model is the
newest addition to the rental program, along with a previous
Toyota All-star Showdown winning Super Late Model entry.
The team will compete at various west coast tracks in 2012 and
their current schedule includes visits to The Bullring in Las Vegas,
