PRO STOCK TRUCK
Somebody Up There Likes Stanfield
Greg Stanfield collected the first Pro Stock Truck title of his career, defeating Mike Coughlin in the final round with a 7.520/179.95 pass to Coughlin's 7.569/179.18. Although Coughlin had a near-perfect reaction time of .404, Stanfield had lane choice, which made the difference at the finish.

The final round was really special said Stanfield, "because I didn't have a line lock (which locks the front brakes only in order to accomplish a burn-out) when I went into the water. To pull that off definitely means the Man Upstairs was on my side.

"I started driving in 1980. To get to this level in 20 years is definitely special. I wanted to run Pro Stock, but I never thought I would be in an S-10 truck. It's definitely been fun."

Stanfield's BDP Enterprises entry took him to fifth place in the Winston Championship points. Asked about his achievement, Stanfield replied, "There's a lot of hard work that goes into being out here. It takes a lot of money, a lot of effort, a lot of sweat, a lot of tears. Bart and Donna Price backed me in this deal. Without them I wouldn't be here. My guys have worked so hard to get here, so it's definitely gratifying to pull off a win here."

Johns Credits Horst-Power
Steve Johns, driver of the Castrol Super Clean Chevy S-10 which was the number 1 qualifier, credited his success at the Pomona track with having tune-up consultant Kevin Horst.

"With Kevin on board from Indy on, everything is different. He knows what's going on. It makes it real nice. We've also done a lot of work at (Bill 'Grumpy') Jenkins' shop. Before that we were getting our butts kicked religiously. We continued to work hard. I've also had to drive as well as I could to give Horst data to work with. And, it seems like I have good luck here."

CHEVY NUMBERS
Chevrolet had a great time at Pomona. Six Camaro Z28 Funny Cars qualified for the field, the most that have ever attempted to qualify for an event so far and Chevy S-10s claimed the top 10 positions in the Pro Stock Truck class.
