Camping World Series West at Colorado National Speedway
Eric Holmes of Escalon won his third NASCAR Camping World Series West race of the year Sunday at Colorado National Speedway on Saturday night, but he still trails Mike David in the series standings.
David, a driver from Modesto, was second at Colorado and has a 35-point lead over Holmes in the West Series standings.
"It makes it tough," Holmes said of the points battle. "I didn't really want to see him lead a lap. That's five more points for him. It's going to be hard. Mike's going to be tough to beat all year. He's a strong competitor. We've just got to keep winning races. The only way to beat Mike David is to win. He's always going to be in second or third place, if not in Victory Lane."
It was Holmes' first West Series win at Colorado, but not his first win at the track. He's won a number of races there running in the defunct Southwest Series.
"I've had a lot of success here in the Southwest Tour," he said of the former NASCAR Elite Division. "The last time I was here in 2006, I won. I always look forward to coming here. It's one of my favorite tracks. It's a lot of fun. It's a real racy track and they have great crowds. It makes it real entertaining."
Jason Bowles, a driver from Ontario, was third at Colorado, followed by Mike Gallegos of Wheat Ridge, Colo., and Daryl Harr of St. Albert, Alberta, Canada.
The next West Series race is the Bennett Lane Winery 200 presented by Supercuts at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma on June 21.
