NCMA At Chowchilla Speedway
By Sharyn Bragg

April 25, 2006...Danny Olmsted made a clean sweep of his first NCMA race this evening, taking his heat, the trophy dash and the main event.

Olmsted and Matt Streeter launched an attack at Chowchilla Speedway this evening that must have pushed the rain away and made Northern California Modified (Sprint car) Association open the season with a big bang. 

More than twenty sprinters showed up to make a very full field.  Racers showed up from all over including Antioch , CSRA from the Sacramento area and NCMA.

During the course of the evening, three heats were run.  Streeter, from Tracy had the first one from lap one.  Sacramento ’s Jake Serven took the second, and Olmsted held the top spot in heat three.  

The trophy dash consisted of the top two from each heat; Olmsted started from the pole and Streeter was shotgun. After jumping the start twice they were both sent to the rear.  Olmsted didn’t let that stop him and had the lead at the end of lap one.  All said and done he still stood his ground and Streeter was second.

The main event had Billy” the bullet” Macedo and Santa Clara’s Alan Clark at the head of the pack,  Larry Nelson, and Modesto’s Ed Amador holding down the second row and Keith Shipard of Pleasant Hill rounding out the top five starters.  Without one lap in the books, Manteca ’s Michael Zarevich and Shannon Newton of Galt met in the middle of turns three-four, putting Zarevich out for the evening.  Macedo held onto the lead with Nelson, Clark, Gary Koster and Streeter working right behind him.  Macedo looked like he was holding on tight!  Probably too tight as he spun out and the pack got by him. At the halfway mark, Olmsted had come from tenth to first with Streeter right behind him.  Nelson, Clark and Koster were not far behind.  One more late lap spin out by Antioch ’s David Fraser and the first NCMA race for 2006 was in the books. Speaking after the race, Olmsted and Streeter were teasing each other.  They share the same crew and worked on the race cars together.  Some kind of bet was made, Streeter said, “I guess he’ll be able to buy a couple of back tires.” Streeter’s second place finish was not bad for first time out in a sprint especially on his birthday. The next interesting note is the next five sprinters were all over fifty years old and did not fall out of their seats!!!   

NCMA’s next race will be their first asphalt outing to Lakeport Speedway, at Lakeport, CA., May 6.  For further information and this season’s race schedule please go to NCMARacing.com
