The Flow Dynamics racing duo of Matt McCarthy and Logan Williams made their debut when Perris Auto Speedway hosted 2023.^th Annual “Sokola Shootout” last Saturday night. The race was the third round of his USAC/CRA Series campaign and the first race of the year at the track closest to Flow Dynamics headquarters in Ontario, California.

2017 USAC/CRA ‘Rookie of the Year’, 2014 ‘Rookie of the Year’ and 2013 PAS Young Guns Sprint Car Champion Williams, McCarthy’s last appearance on the track was The prestigious Oval Nationals four and a half months ago. The team hasn’t been on track since then, but it hasn’t rested on its laurels. Over the winter, the crew took the car apart and combed through it in preparation for 2023. Additionally, new parts and consumables have been ordered to ensure we have a good backup for the new year.

Things started off well enough for the favorite driver in qualifying. McCarthy, who lives in nearby Riverside, California, started the year as the eighth-fastest driver out of 25, posting 16.749 his laps. California’s Williams’ Yorba Linda was just one tick behind at 16.812. It was the 10th fastest time.

The Flowdynamics duo took on seven other drivers in the first ten-lap heat race at the famous Riverside County half-mile oval. McCarthy finished fifth after putting pressure on the fourth-placed driver for the entire distance. Williams finished seventh, far behind his teammate.

This week, Flow Dynamics drivers were scheduled to compete in Central California on Friday and Saturday. Friday was scheduled to take place at Hanford’s Kings Speedway. Saturday’s scheduled date kicked off at Tulair’s Thunderbowl his raceway. However, persistent heavy rain forced the cancellation of last week’s Tulea race. When that race was lost, Kings Speedway moved its show from Friday to Saturday. The hope was that moving the race by a day would give the track more time to dry. The show was also forced to cancel.
