NASCAR K&N Pro Victory At Kern Would Match Gurney’s 50-Year-Old Mark

Todd Gilliland heads to Bakersfield, California, on the hottest winning streak in 50 years.

Even if he doesn’t equal the all-time NASCAR K&N Pro Series mark for consecutive victories to start in the series, the 15-year-old from Sherrill’s Ford, North Carolina, is in pretty exclusive company.

It’s a club that includes two drivers in the International Motorsports Hall of Fame, the 2015 Daytona 500 winner and Gilliland. That’s it. In the 62-year history of the NASCAR K&N Pro Series – dating back to the West Series’ beginnings as the Pacific Coast Late Model Series – just four drivers in both the East and West have won the first two series races to start their career.

Just four races into the 2016 Sprint Cup Series season, NASCAR’s new low downforce and Goodyear’s soft tires are giving drivers and fans two close finishes – Daytona and Phoenix – and setting track records along the way. That makes the rest of the season seem much more intriguing with 22 more races until the Chase for the Sprint Cup begins in September.
