Placerville's last dance; Becker wins the battle and the war in
Civil War finale
Sacramento driver adds third California championship to his resume of accomplishments
When it comes to the combination of talent and professionalism, Sacramento resident Sean
Becker is undoubtedly one of the true ambassadors to the sport of sprint car racing. From the start of his racing
career, Becker has been known for his respect on and off the race track, his sincere personality and most of all,
his consistent competitive nature behind the wheel of a winged sprint car. It has been that trio of qualities that
led Becker to his third racing championship in California Saturday night.
