FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

MCDONALD PICKS UP THIRD WIN OF
2010 AT REDWOOD ACRES

 

EUREKA,
CALIFORNIA (September 2, 2010) – Joe McDonald drove to one of his biggest
career victories on Saturday night, dominating the main event over a 12 car
field for the Sportsman division at Redwood Acres Raceway in Eureka, Calif.

 

The win
was a nice preview of things to come with the Redwood Acres Raceway Fall
Spectacular with the Airport Auto Brokers Late Model Series coming up September
25 and 26.

 

Behind
the wheel of the #09 Humbolt County McDonalds Chevrolet, McDonald rolled off
the grid eighth.

 

After
avoiding several early crashes, McDonald went to battle with Angelo Marcelli
for the race lead.  On lap five, McDonald
took the lead from Marcelli.

 

McDonald
pulled away to an impressive lead of almost half a lap before the caution came
out on lap 20 for a spin deep in the pack.

 

On the
restart, McDonald again stormed away from the pack on the three-eighths mile
oval, pulling away by three car lengths into turn one.  A caution for a mutli-car crash brought the
field back together, but McDonald again roared away from the pack.

 

McDonald
cruised to an impressive straightaway win and won the six foot tall trophy that
went with it.

 

“This was
a great win for me after a few weeks away from the track,�?? McDonald said.  “We have this #09 car dialed in and I feel
very confident we can contend for the win in the Fall Spectacular.�??
