PETERSEN MEDIA: After ending the King of the West season with a win, Jonathan Allard will now look to defend his Trophy Cup championship and close his American season in the same fashion as the Williams Motorsports heads to one of the biggest races on the west coast.
Saturday night, Allard returned to his winning ways as he made a late race pass on Tommy Tarlton, and fended off Tarlton and young, Trey Starks to pick up the win in Hanford.
Now as he heads to the Trophy Cup, Allard looks to repeat the remarkable run he put together in 2010.
The prestige of winning the Trophy Cup has to do with the unique format they run, fastest to the back.
The race tallies points every time a driver hits the track, and fully inverts drivers all weekend long, leading up to the fully inverted 50-lap finale on Saturday night.
Last season, JA was the top point man heading into the feature event, and carved his way around the 1/3 mile high-banked Thunderbowl Speedway to score a fourth place finish, and take home the big trophy.
“Though we love racing 410’s, this is one of the races we circle on the calendar every year even thought we hardly get a chance to run the 360,” said Allard. “The best of the best make their way out here for this race, and we would love to win it again.”
ON TAP: JA now heads to Tulare, CA this weekend where he will look to defend his Trophy Cup title.
