STOCKTON — A large crowd was on hand at the Stockton 99 Speedway Saturday night to see the return of one of its most famous stars — Ernie Irvan. Irvan won the 99 track championship in 1977 before moving on to NASCAR Winston Cup fame where he won 15 races including the Daytona 500 in 1991. He also won twice at Sonoma including the Save Mart 300 in 1992 where he was black-flagged for jumping the start and sent to the back of the field only to pass all 41 cars to claim the victory.
