Three weeks ago, Greg Stanfield didn’t think he would be racing in NHRA’s Kragen O’Reilly Auto Parts Winternationals at Pomona, Calif.
On Sunday, he came within a few ticks of the timer of winning the Pro Stock title at Auto Club Raceway at Pomona.
Stanfield, driving the Sentry Security Pontiac GXP in its debut with Bob Yonke Motorsports, was on his way to victory on a cold night in Southern California. He left the starting line two-hundredths of a second ahead of rival Jason Line. “Unfortunately, the tires spun off the line and shook and there wasn’t much I could do.”

Line won with an elapsed time of 6.529 seconds at 211.89 mph to Stanfield’s 6.595 at 211.70.
“We are excited about our performance, considering the sponsorship only came together three weeks ago. We worked hard to get everything together in time to come to Pomona.”
Stanfield eliminated Buddy Perkinson, Ron Krisher and Ronnie Humphreys to reach the finals.
