West: Ryan Bower last in first road course event at Willow Springs

Ryan Bower picked up the 1st last-place finish of his SCRL CatDog Pro Series West career in today's Willow Springs 150 at the Willow Springs Raceway when his #14 Cooks / Holleran's Performance Toyota completed all 6 laps under power.

The finish came in Polla's 5th career series start. 

Before this series, Bowyer hadn't yet made his SCRL debut until signing with this series, making his debut earlier in the season and placed an unimpressive 24th at Phoenix but in the next round at Auto Club, Bowyer impressed and finished 3rd in only his second start.

Starting last on the field was the #88 Pick-N-Pull Chevrolet of Steve Larker but his stay would last only a few turns as Bowyer would make a pit stop due to a flat tire and fell so far behind he was never able to catch up due to the lack of cautions and was stuck in last for the remaning laps.

Rounding out the bottom five were drivers who finished the race under power: #22 WestWorld Computers Chevrolet of AJ Jones, the #52 51 Fifty Energy Drink Ford of Kurt Trenchermen, the #9 William Rast / Sunrise Ford / Lucas Oil of King Soking and the #88 of the aforementioned Steve Larker.
