Mackena Bell, who used to race late models at Toyota Speedway at Irwindale, posted a 19th place finish after starting the race in 26th.
Sergio Pena, who put up an impressive second-place finish in the NASCAR Toyota All Star Showdown in Irwindale in January, crashed midway through the East Series season opener. He collided with John Salemi on lap 65 and ended up with a 27th-place finish.
Patrick Long, an American Le Mans Series driver from Thousand Oaks, had the best finish of the drivers from Southern California. He was seventh.
