After early season struggles that saw them fall below 20th in points after missing the main event in round 2 of the GLR 360 series at Watsonville California’s Ocean Speedway, Jason Newton and Newton Motorsports out of San Jose, CA have put together a points run that has elevated the 3rd year team into the top ten in GLR points after round 6. 

While not one of the high powered competitors in the series, the team has found it’s stride of late and has consistently placed well enough to find itself sitting in 10th place, 75 points behind the leaders going into the next event, July 17th , that will pit the GLR series racers against the traveling California Civil War Series. This will be a combination show with valuable GLR points up for grabs for GLR series members as well as Civil War Series points. 

Thanks to everyone, including fellow competitors, who have helped the team advance over the past few events. The next few events will be important as the team will not only be looking to hold onto their top 10 points position, they will also be looking for the finish in the next 3 GLR races that will qualify them for the Johnny Key Classic. That event will be run Aug 29th at Ocean Speedway and is the premier event of the season.

The Newton Motorsports team uses Maxim chassis and Shark motors.
