Jonathon Gomez Scores First Career SRL Triumph At Stockton
Dominating Performance Puts 27-year old in Championship Hunt

TWIN FALLS, IDAHO (June 14, 2010)  Jonathon Gomez, a 27-year old from 
Twin Falls, Idaho dominated the action this past Saturday night at 
Stockton (CA) Speedway starting on the pole and leading all 130-laps en 
route to his first career SPEARS SRL Southwest Tour Series victory.  The 
victory moved Gomez up to fourth place in the point standings just 
49-points out of the lead.

The Mid Valley Iron and Metals "130"  had more than 25 cars on hand 
vying for 21 starting positions in the 130-lap contest. Qualifying at 
Stockton is one of the biggest challenges as the track is uniquely 
shaped on both ends testing the driver's and teams. Gomez qualified 
sixth for the feature race but but when quick qualifier Eric Holmes drew 
a six invert, it put Gomez on the pole to start the race.

Armed with lessons learned from the previous three series events this 
season, Gomez started the race with one thing in mind and that was avoid 
on track incidents. Stockton Speedway is a track where you must drive 
aggressively in order to set the pace but also be defensive as you will 
be racing in lapped traffic throughout the entire race.

On this night Gomez had one key advantage that he had been missing all 
season. He started out front and he took control of the race from the 
onset hitting his marks every lap and holding off each challenge for the 
lead. Over the closing laps he waged a spirited battle with three-time 
series champion Jim Pettit II but kept the multi-time champion at bay 
each time he edged closer.

"There is no doubt this is a huge win for our team," Gomez said. "When 
we set out this season it was all about winning and this is the first of 
what I hope are many more wins. I was a little nervous about the race 
having never been to Stockton before but I can tell you this is one fun 
track to drive and it is certainly one of my favorites."

Gomez is currently 4th in the SRL standings just 27-points out of third 
place and closed the gap to within 49-points out of first place. He has 
two top five and three top ten finishes in four starts this season. The 
next event on the SRL schedule is Saturday, June 26 at Madera (CA) 
Speedway, another track he has never competed at before.

Jonathon Gomez is in his fourth year of competitive racing having won 
local track titles at Magic Valley Speedway in Twin Falls and competed 
in various Late Model events the past couple of seasons.  He has started 
twelve NASCAR K&N Pro Series races since 2008 scoring seven top ten 
finishes and currently sits fourth in the championship standings. Gomez 
will contend for championships in both the NASCAR K&N Pro Series and the 
SPEARS SRL Southwest Tour this season.
 
Jonathon Gomez is supported by Heritage Cattle Company, Century 
Boatland, J&C Custom Harvesting, United Oil, Modern Machinery, DJ
