BY JOE CONROY Special to the Californian In just his second year of racing and barely old enough to drive on the streets, 16-year-old Matt Lewis took home the checkered flag in the American Stocks mains at Friday night’s 27th Annual Budweiser Nationals at Bakersfield Speedway. The Bakersfield native had to hold off the reigning champion — and Lewis’ cousin — in the event, Rick Childress Jr., the entire race.
