Cole Wakim 11th with USAC/CRA at Perris Auto Speedway
PETERSEN MEDIA: Getting right back to racing action over the weekend, Cole Wakim and the Josh Ford Motorsports headed to Perris Auto Speedway to race with USAC/CRA as the series shared the track with the World of Outlaws, and Wakim pocketed an 11th place finish.
“It was great to get back on the big track,” Wakim said. “It is a place that can teach you a lot, so after running on a ton of bullrings it was a nice change of pace.”
Getting the night kicked off by timing the Liquid Energy/Inland Rigging/MPe backed No. 73 in ninth fastest in qualifying time trials, the Simi Valley, CA driver lined up in the second row of his heat race.
When the green flag flew, Wakim settled into fourth as the field strung out around the Southern CA half mile facility. Finishing fourth, Wakim was locked into the fifth row of the feature event.
Hitting the track after the World of Outlaws feature ended, Wakim hit the track and took the green flag against some of the best the series has to offer as he spent much of the race battling for position inside the Top-10.
Hooking up in a couple of fast paced battles with the likes of Logan Williams and David Gasper, Wakim searched high and low in his Jimmy May prepared entry.
Holding is own in 11th, Wakim was able to hold the position as the race ended and he capped off his night.
“I thought things went well,” Wakim added. “Obliviously you always want to be better, but in the big picture it was good to get more laps there, and we had pretty good speed and we held our own.”
JFM would like to thank Quick Change Liquid Energy, Inland Rigging, MPe, SURECAN, Woodland Auto Display, Beilman Motorsports, and 1Way Technologies for their support in 2025.
BY THE NUMBERS: Races: 23, Wins: 1, Top 5’s: 9, Top 10’s: 14
ON TAP: Wakim will be right back in action this Saturday night as he returns to Ventura for another night of USCS action.
