WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA (October 8, 2011)<\/strong> \u2013 Fremont\u2019s Shane Golobic<\/strong><\/a> won his second straight Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo feature on Friday night, passing Bud Kaeding<\/strong> on lap 28 in lapped traffic and leading the final two laps for victory. Throughout 2011 Golobic has picked up at least one feature win per month and the victory is Golobic\u2019s third in the Ocean Sprints.<\/p>\n

Bud Kaeding started on pole for the feature alongside fast-time qualifier Justin Sanders<\/strong> of Prunedale. Sanders took the lead through turn one while St.Helena rookie Rico Abreu<\/strong> charged hard on the outside. Abreu jumped the cushion in turn three sending him for a wild spin to end his night.<\/p>\n

A complete restart saw Kaeding reassume the lead and hold off Sanders to lead lap one. 2011 California Sprint Car Civil War Series champion Andy Forsberg<\/strong> moved to fourth from eighth starting by lap two.<\/p>\n

After a brief caution on lap three for Orval Zane Burke<\/strong> stopped in turn one, Forsberg jumped past Golobic to take over third. Forsberg continued his impressive drive to the front by taking the lead from Kaeding on lap 10.<\/p>\n

The red flag promptly came out in turn one on lap 10 when Sanders flipped and nearly collected Michael Twitchell<\/strong>. Sanders\u2019 car suffered heavy damage and he was done for the night.<\/p>\n

When the red flag was lifted, Forsberg had a flat tire and went immediately to the work area. Forsberg was unable to get a new right rear put on in time so his night was over.<\/p>\n

Kaeding reassumed the lead under pressure from Golobic with Tommy Tarlton<\/strong> and Ronnie Day<\/strong> battling for third.The caution came out on lap 15 when Tommy Laliberte<\/strong> and Twitchell tangled in turn one.<\/p>\n

An additional yellow on lap 21 for Koen Shaw<\/strong> stalling in turn one set the stage for the battle between Golobic and Kaeding. Kaeding set a furious pace and hit lapped traffic by lap 26. Coming up on a slower car on lap 28, Kaeding hit the brakes while Golobic swept by on the outside through three and four to lead lap 29.
