Pacific Coast Motorsports wins Atlantic Series race

Carl Skerlong, driving for the Oxnard-based Pacific Coast Motorsports, won his first Atlantic Series race for the team. He won the inaugural Atlantic Series race at New Jersey Motorsports Park on Sunday.
Skerlong is fifth in the Atlantic Series standings, one point out of fourth and 17 out of third.
It was Skerlong's fourth podium finish of the season. The next race for the Atlantic Series is at Miller Motorsports Park in Salt Lake City, Utah, on Sunday.
"I am so excited to get back in the car," Skerlong said. "The win last weekend gives us a lot of momentum heading into Miller Motorsports Park this week. The track there is awesome, but it is so long that you have to be precise and it will be important to get the car dialed in very quickly, because one mistake or one bad lap costs so much time. Our sessions are not that long, so every lap counts. I am looking forward to it."
