Doug Lambeck, Irvine, led the charge along with Jimmy DeFrank, Thousand Oaks, and Robert Naber of Ontario. This was the second win of the year for all three drivers and they all won the season opening Circle K NHRA Winternationals at Auto Club Raceway at Pomona back in February.

The win was Lambeck's 18th win split between Comp and Super Stock. DeFrank continued his winning ways knocking out local racer Leo Glasbrenner of Chino, Calif., in Super Stock for his 44th divisional event win and Naber downed Ryan Herem, Canyon Country, Calif., in Super Gas.
