PLACERVILLE, Calif. —Since the start of the season, David Robinson, Jr. has been eager to return to the victory circle at Placerville Speedway. The former two-time Civil War and Placerville Speedway track champion has led a number of events, but victory continued to elude him as he returned from a two-year hiatus from the sport.
Saturday night at Placerville Speedway, Robinson returned to victory lane, winning the prestigious fifth-annual Family Chevrolet Tribute to Al Hinds Civil War 360 sprint-car event, a race that his F&F Racing team was instrumental in creating five years ago and has been trying to win from that day.
“This feels so great to be standing right here tonight, what an incredible race this has become,” said Robinson. “I just want to thank everyone that is involved with putting this together, especially Family Chevrolet and all of you fans.
“I’ve been trying to get back here all season long, and I couldn’t have asked to do it on a better night. This team is the greatest, and I am so happy to be back.”
Robinson started outside the front row and led throughout despite the constant challenges of polesitter Kyle Hirst, who finished second.
Sean Becker, Brad Furr and Scott Kinney filled the top five. 
The finish:
David Robinson, Jr., Kyle Hirst, Sean Becker, Brad Furr, Scott Kinney, Greg DeCaires, Andy Forsberg, Willie Croft, Herman Klein, Andy Gregg, Justin Johnson, Mike Benson, Myles Bishop, Colby Wiesz, Steven Tiner, Richard Bailey, Scott Russell, Jimmy Trulli, Kyle Larson, Chad Compton, Mason Moore, Alissa Geving.
