(Tulare, CA) 10/22/11 by Kelly Hart – Racinghartmedia
Last night the Shaylen Raye Motorsports #18 360 Sprint car driven by Travis Jacobson was in action at the 18th Annual running of the Trophy Cup in Tulare, CA. The reigning Skagit Speedway 360 division and two-time defending 360 Nationals Champion timed in 11th out of 70 entered cars.
That qualifying lap landed Travis a 5th place start in his heat. Trophy Cup heat races invert 6 and take the top 3 direct to the A feature event. A 7th place finish in the heat earned the team a C main starting position. After a 4th place finish in the C main, the Shafer Concrete sponsored #18 had worked his way up to a 6th place spot in the B main and transfer into the A main when a spin took the car out of contention. Travis was on the move starting 9th in the B and had the spot locked up with just two laps remaining.
The Shaylen Raye Motorsports team finds itself outside the top 20 in points with night number two underway later today.
