Steve Pemberton Scores first NCMA Win

NCMA Sprints | Chowchilla Speedway | June 2, 2007

Steve Pemberton came to run with NCMA this evening because it’s the “closest track to home.” and took home the win! Pemberton comes by this somewhat naturally. His grandpa is one of the racing Hogge’s (The II) and dad, Walter Pemberton is wrenching on the car too. Good racer + Good Crew = win.

The evening started with heats being run. Dan Gonderman of Antioch, leader in both Select Series points and NCMA Dirt points, took the lead from the get go. Pemberton was not far behind to claim second and a spot in the Trophy Dash. Heat II had Keith Shipherd from Pleasant Hill get around Atwater’s Cameron Beard but both claimed Trophy Dash spots. 

The Dash was set, Beard drew the pole, Pemberton on the outside, Shipherd behind Beard, and Gonderman, last man in. Beard made a good go of it, as he kept the lead. Pemberton stuck right with him to end in second. Shipherd made a slip to the high side and Gonderman took third.

The Main Event started with Jimmy Lavell’s Mauri Financial Services Sprinter on the pole, “Dinamite” Dave Press in the shot gun. Concord’s Burt Siverling and David Goodwill from Napa made up the second row. The Power Up Concrete Pumping sprint piloted by Beard held the five spot to start. Pemberton was supposed to start next to Beard, but his car wouldn’t start and he had to go to the very last position. Press grabbed the lead and was holding on well. Lavell was sticking up there pretty good and holding second. Goodwill had Gonderman right on his tail trying to root him out of third. This was making some pretty exciting racing. By this time, Pemberton was working his Midstate Fleet Repair #43 around everyone, by lap eight he was in second and challenging Press for the lead. Run up on Press, backing off, running up and backing off. With about five laps to go Press made that one bobble, and Pemberton knew what to do about it. Pemberton took the win, and Press was right behind him. Lavell had his best ever finish on dirt with third. Goodwill’s Lito Auto Body racer finished fourth and Gonderman rounded out the top five for owner Sam Davies. Beard had a tough finish to the evening as he ran over another racer’s tire and busted his rear end. “I’ve got another one” he stated after the race and he will be there again.

NCMA Sprints return to the Pavement of Madera Speedway this Saturday night, June 9th.
