PETERSEN MEDIA- Climbing aboard the Dan Monhoff owned No. 35 on Saturday and Sunday night, Sean Becker and team took part in the Nor*Cal Posse Shootout at Placerville Speedway. After having some tough luck on Saturday night, Becker was able to cap the weekend off with a ninth place run on Sunday night.
“The weekend was kind of a struggle for us to be competitive, but we had some things go our way Sunday which helped a lot,” Sean Becker said. “We started towards the front of the ‘A’, and battled inside the Top-5 before we slipped back to finish ninth in the feature.”
After getting caught in a precarious spot during the Saturday night feature which relegated him to a 17th place finish, Becker and Monhoff Racing were right back to work on Sunday night for the Shootout finale at Placerville Speedway.
Timing in 14th in qualifying time trials with 31 cars checked into the pit area, ‘The Shark’ lined up on in the second row of his heat race. Able to race into the second position, Becker locked himself into the impending 35-lap feature event as he rolled off of the starting grid from the ninth position.
Jumping into sixth on a lap two restart, Becker battled some of the area’s top drivers as they fought tooth and nail around the slick surface that the Placerville bullring offered up.
While battling in close quarters actions a slight misstep on the 22nd lap saw Becker drift back and fall to 11th briefly. Able to work his way back into the Top-10 a lap later, Becker worked his way into eighth in the race’s closing laps before taking the checkered flag with a ninth place finish in a hard fought 35-lap feature event.
“We had a good run going on Sunday night, but we just couldn’t fully recover after getting shuffled back,” Becker added. “When it is all said and done, definitely happy to end our weekend with a Top-10.”
BY THE NUMBERS: Starts-29, Wins-1, Top 5’s- 8, Top-10’s- 19
ON TAP: Becker will be idle until September 21st when he reunites with Monhoff Racing and heads to Petaluma Speedway for the Adobe Cup.
