Eddie Tafoya Jr. achieved his ninth consecutive top-10 finish in the USAC/CRA Sprint Car series by finishing sixth at the Perris Auto Speedway. Over the past six months, his only finish outside the top 10 was 12th in a rain-affected race in March. Tafoya avoided significant chaos during the race, maintaining his position despite an aerial scare during a restart. His strategies for success include keen awareness of track dynamics and accidents, allowing him to navigate tricky situations effectively. Although pleased with his performances, Tafoya is eager to improve his qualifying results to compete more vigorously.
By the Numbers
- Tafoya’s finish at Perris marks his ninth top-10 result in USAC/CRA events.
- His best result during this streak was fourth place at Kern Raceway on June 8th.
Yes, But
While Tafoya’s consistency has been commendable, some may argue that his inability to qualify better may limit his chances of achieving top finishes in more competitive races…
