Inside Line Promotions – EASTON, Calif. (July 7) – The high from last weekend’s near sweep still hasn’t left Tommy Tarlton.

And it likely won’t anytime soon for the Easton, Calif., native, who charged from 11th to claim the inaugural Howard Kaeding Classic last Friday at Ocean Speedway in Watsonville, Calif., with the King of the West Sprint Car Series. Tarlton also finished second in the prestigious event on Saturday, narrowly missing out on the weekend sweep.

“Last weekend was a blast and I’m so ecstatic to be the first-ever Howard Kaeding Classic winner,” Tarlton said. “My crew gave me an awesome car to drive from 11th to the lead and pass guys like Tim Kaeding and Jonathan Allard for the victory.”

For anyone who missed the race, or who want to relive the highlights, a few videos of the event and post-race interviews have surfaced this week.
