By: Joe Burrage

Tulare, CA. – (March 8, 2010) – For the past week Chad Kemenah and crew member Cale Powers have been in California preparing for the two day World of Outlaws show at the high banked Tulare Thunderbowl Raceway and the hard work paid off on Friday night.

The Thunderbowl Raceway has always been a very fast and exciting track with lots of action and Chad Kemenah certainly loves these types of tracks.  Kemenah has only raced a hand full of times at the fast 1/3 mile and after qualifying was completed the Golden Flavor Sesame Sticks No.63 was 18th quick overall.

After qualifying was completed Kemenah and Powers went to work on the car making a few adjustments hoping they could grab a transfer spot in the second heat race.  Starting in the fifth position for the quick 10-Lap heat race Kemenah was feeling pretty good about getting into a transfer spot.  Kemenah would get a good start along the cushion and make his way into turns one and two where the cushion was right along the fence.  Kemenah would miss the cushion and was forced to hit the breaks to avoid hitting the wall, and while this was happening two cars would get by him leaving him in the seventh position after the heat race was finished.
