Jones Wins First IMCA Modified Feature 
At Southern Oregon Speedway

White City, Oregon...September 22...Holding off some late pressure from CJ Putnam, Preston Jones scored the victory in the 25 lap IMCA Modified Main Event Saturday night at Southern Oregon Speedway. This was the first career win for Jones. Albert Gill won his third championship in five seasons just by taking the green flag for the Main Event.

Gill started the evening off with his fourth four lap Trophy Dash win of the season. 2017 champion Jesse Bailey outran his brother-in-law, Jon DeBenedetti, to win the first six lap heat race. Putnam won the second heat in front of Jones.

Jentzen Knips charged into the Main Event lead over seven-time champion Mark Wauge on the opening lap, and Bo Shields spun for a caution flag. Knips continued to lead the restart as Jones slipped past Wauge for second. Wauge came charging by Jones for second on lap four, but a Turn 3 pass on that seven regained Jones the position. A lap later, Jones made an outside pass on the backstretch to take the lead from Knips. Jones began to pull away, leaving the battle for second, but a lap 15 yellow flag waved for debris on the track. Jones led the restart with Putnam making an inside pass in Turn 2 to take second from Knips. After a lap 17 caution flag, Putnam made a serious bid to take the lead on the restart and grabbed the spot with an inside pass exiting the fourth turn. The lead was short-lived as Jones beat him back to the line to lead the 19th lap. The lead two cars ran closely as Zack Fettinger had settled into the third position. A tangle between Bailey, Gill and Dave Duste Jr brought out the final yellow flag on lap 21. Jones led the restart with Putnam giving him all the pressure he could handle. Putnam attempted to get by several times in the remaining four laps, but Jones held him off for the hard earned victory. Fettinger finished third, followed by DeBenedetti, Wauge, Jeremy Ohlde, Duane Orsburn, Duste, Bailey and Gill.

Coffman Closes Season With IMCA Sport Modified Win 
At Southern Oregon Speedway

White City, Oregon...September 22...Leading all the way from the start, Roseburg's Doug Coffman won the 20 lap IMCA Sport Modified Main Event Saturday night at Southern Oregon Speedway. He became the ninth different winner of the season. David Marble took a checkered flag further back in the field to wrap up his championship winning season.

Rich McCoy started things off with a win in the four lap Trophy Dash. With 24 competitors on hand, the Sport Modifieds ran four six lap qualifying heat races, and wins were recorded by McCoy, Branden Wilson, Coffman and Willie McFall. Only the Top 4 finishers of each heat race made it into the Main Event with the remaining drivers forced to run a 12 lap B Main. Rookie Michael Rule won that race ahead of last starter Tony Duste, Gary Foster and final transfer Toby Judd.

Coffman had a front-row start for the Main Event and charged into the early lead ahead of McFall and two-time champion Dwayne Melvin. A yellow flag flew on lap two for Judd on the front straightaway. Coffman continued to lead the restart as McCoy passed McFall for second. Melvin was back up to third a lap later before a caution flag flew for AJ Parker. Coffman led McCoy and Melvin on the next restart, and a lap seven caution flag waved for Tony Bartell. Coffman continued to lead the way on the next restart ahead of McCoy as Braxton Possinger settled into third. However, Possinger surrendered that position to Justin McCreadie on lap 10. Coffman continued to set a good pace during the final 10 laps with McCoy running not too far behind for a second place finish. McCreadie settled for third, followed by Jimmy Lipke, Randy Wright, Wilson, two-time champion Mike Medel, Matt Sanders, McFall and Duste.

Holmes Thrills Crowd With Last Lap Pass For Kendall Oil Winged Sprint Car Victory At Southern Oregon Speedway

White City, Oregon...September 22...Tanner Holmes made an impressive late race charge to score his second straight 25 lap Kendall Oil Winged Sprint Car Main Event win Saturday night at Southern Oregon Speedway. With eight laps to go, the 15 year old phenom was running fifth. He switched to the outside groove for the final eight laps and worked his way to the front, where he took the lead from Mike Wheeler with a last turn pass.

The Sprint Car count grew to a record 23 cars for this race, and the three eight lap heat race wins were recorded by Holmes, Wheeler and new track champion David Hibbard. Outlaw Kart superstar Wheeler outran top rookie Blaine Cory to win the 10 lap Scramble. The increase in car count forced a 12 lap B Main, won by Camden Robustelli ahead of Enrique Jaime and final transfer Cooper Desbians. Past Cottage Grove champion Hedge Carter saw his night end early with a flip in the B Main

With a pole position start, Wheeler raced into the early lead ahead of Cory and Bailey Hibbard. In his previous two starts, mechanical issues ended Wheeler's night early, but he was running strong on this occasion. Todd Whipple did a complete 360 in Turn 4 on lap five and kept going, but a yellow flag still waived. Wheeler continued to lead Cory and Bailey Hibbard on the restart with David Hibbard and Jeffrey Hudson filling out the top five at that moment. Robustelli brought out a caution flag when he broke in Turn 4 on lap eight. Wheeler continued to lead Cory and Bailey Hibbard on this restart. Aaron Miller and Kyler Barraza retired in the next few laps as Wheeler and Cory were having a close battle at the front of the pack. The final yellow flag waved on lap 18. Holmes was up to fifth by then, and he took fourth from David Hibbard on the restart as Wheeler continued to lead. Bailey Hibbard also slipped past Corey for the second position. Holmes was working the extreme high groove that no one else was touching, and he made a Turn 4 pass on to lap 21 to take third from Cory. He gathered the momentum exiting Turn 4 a lap later and made a frontstretch pass on Bailey Hibbard for second. Wheeler was still running the bottom line that had served him well to that point, and Holmes quickly reeled him in. As they exited the final turn, Holmes gathered the momentum for an outside pass down the front straightaway. Despite a slower car also running the high line, Holmes kept going and managed to beat Wheeler back to the checkered flag for the crowd thrilling victory. Wheeler settled for a disappointed second, followed by Bailey Hibbard, Cory, AJ Harbaugh, Jeffrey Hudson, David Hibbard, Desbiens, TJ Winningham and Bailey Sucich.

Lenz Wraps Up Calculated Comfort Outlaw Pro Stock Championship With Win At Southern Oregon Speedway

White City, Oregon...September 22...Taking the lead from Steve Borror on the fourth lap, Dr Scott Lenz went on to win the 20 lap Calculated Comfort Outlaw Pro Stock Main Event Saturday night at Southern Oregon Speedway. This was his eighth series victory and ninth of the year as he wrapped up his second consecutive championship.

Lenz got his night started off with a four lap Trophy Dash win, but his quest for a clean sweep would end as John David Duffie held him off to win the first six lap heat race. James Flowers outran his father Scott Flowers for the second heat race win.

Steve Borror set the Main Event pace from the start ahead of Lenz and James Flowers. A Turn 2 pass on the fourth lap gained Lenz the lead, and a tangle involving James Flowers and Duffie left Duffie in Turn 2 and brought out a lap five caution flag. Duffie was done for the night, but Flowers returned after a pit stop. Lenz continued to lead Borror and Scott Flowers on the restart, but Matt Harlow made an inside pass on the front stretch on lap 8 to take third from Scott Flowers. A lap nine caution flag for debris was the final slow down of the race. Lenz continued to lead Borror on the restart as Scott Flowers regained third. A lap later, Dave Quick passed Flowers at the line to take over third. Lenz held a straightaway advantage over Borror by lap 15, leaving the battle for third. Scott Flowers slipped passed Quick for third on that 19, and Lenz was the happy winner, followed by Borror, Scott Flowers, Quick, James Flowers, Rick Lukens, Harlow, Ray Kniffin Jr, Ken Irving and Bryan Hammond.

Trotter Closes OTRO Hardtop Season With Second Win 
At Southern Oregon Speedway

White City, Oregon...September 22...Bill Trotter won the 15 lap OTRO Hardtop Main Event Saturday night at Southern Oregon Speedway. Trotter battled Jay Smith through most of the race before scoring his second win of the season.

Chris Mehrer won the four lap Trophy Dash to get the show started, and Trotter won a good battle with Smith and Dean Cast for the eight lap heat race win. Trotter raced into the lead at the start of the Main Event ahead of Smith and Cast. The lead three drivers had their own battle as Mehrer mixed it up with three relative newcomers in the battle for fourth. Unfortunately for Matt Butler, he stalled with motor problems for the only caution flag of the race on lap three. Trotter continued to lead Smith and Cast on the restart. Gradually, Trotter and Smith began to pull away from Cast, while Dillion Rourk battled Mehrer for the fourth position. As Trotter went on to win, Smith lost a wheel in the final turn. Cast finished second. Rorke made an inside pass on the backstretch on lap 14 to take fourth from Mehrer. With Smith's misfortune, Roark ended up third at the checkered flag, followed by Mehrer, Mike Higby, Smith and Butler.

 McCoy Wins Restad Memorial Race At Siskiyou Speedway

Yreka, CA...September 22...Rich McCoy won the Rod Restad Memorial IMCA Sport Modified 30 Main Event Sunday night at Siskiyou Motor Speedway. McCoy was coming off of a strong second place finish in Medford the night before. He battled reigning race champion Keith Foux during the first half of the race before Oregon State champion Jorddon Braaten made his move into second. During the final half-dozen laps, McCoy had his hands full with Braaten taking looks to the outside, and Foux and Brian Cooper had a good battle going for third. Cooper moved ahead of Foux with four laps to go, but Braaten was unable to make the pass on McCoy. McCoy pocketed $1,000 for his win with Braaten a $500 second. Cooper finished third, followed by Foux, Ryder Boswell, Ethan Killingsworth, Randy Wright, Matt Micheli, Doug Franklin and Dwayne Melvin. Eight lap heat race wins where recorded by Melvin, Killingsworth and McCoy. Cooper won the four lap Trophy Dash.

Jon DeBenedetti swept the action in the IMCA Modified division and pocketed $1,200 in the process. DeBenedetti followed up on his eight lap heat race and four lap Trophy Dash wins with the 15 lap feature win. Jimmy Lipke was a $600 second, followed by Dan Thomas.

Mike Whitaker won his second 20 lap Mini Stock Main Event. Whitaker entered the night with a shot at the championship, but he needed some bad luck to happen to Marilyn Yanwick. Whitaker battled impressive rookie Darek Alford at the front of the pack before scoring his second feature win of the season. Alford was a strong second. However, Yawnick ran nearly a straightaway behind the lead duo in third, which helped her secure her third straight division championship. Zac McMurray had his best showing of the season in fourth, followed by Mike Kendrick, John Glidwell, Jason Frost, Nick Conway and Garrett Fredrickson. Yawnick won a good battle with Whitaker in the first heat race. Alford won the other eight lap heat and won the four lap Trophy Dash just ahead of Whitaker.

The Jefferson State Jalopies were invited back for another show. JJ Smith rebounded from last week's bad luck to win his first ever 15 lap Main Event. Smith also won the heat race, but Scott Billingsley Jr was the four lap Trophy Dash winner

Dubisar, Robison Win at Coos Bay Speedway

Coos Bay, Oregon...September 22...Steve Dubisar won both the Sportsman Late Model and Street Stock Main Events at Coos Bay Speedway Saturday night. Four of the NASCAR Whelen All American Series divisions ran in support of the special Rolling Thunder Big Rig Show.

Dubisar won the eight lap Sportsman Late Model Main Event. Braden Fugate started things off with the heat race win, but he finished second to Josh Kralicek in the Trophy Dash. Unfortunately, Kralicek, Charlie Withers and Wayne Butler all scratched prior to the Main Event with mechanical issues. The race might have been called at that point, but Dubisar entered his Street Stock into the Main Event and won a close eight lap battle with Fugate.

Earlier, Dubisar won his sixth 15 lap Street Stock Main Event. Dubisar picked up a 10 lap heat race win, but Creswell's Garrett Barth held off Dubisar to win the five lap Trophy Dash. In the Main Event, Dubisar set a rapid pace in winning by several car lengths. Troy Chamberlain finished second in good battle with Barth. New champion Ken Fox rounded out the field.

John Carpenter outran new champion Sam Talon to win the 15 lap Mini Outlaw Main Event. Gene Gattenby finished third. Gattenby also won the five lap Trophy Dash, while Talon won the 10 lap heat race.

Hannah Robison returned to action and battled new champion Tyler Tullos to win her fourth 20 lap Hornets Main Event of the season. While Robison was winning her battle for the victory, Roseburg's Jeremy Mayfield was not quite a straightaway behind in third. Gabrielle Bolles finished fourth, followed by Riley Hayes, William Hitner, Dusty Shingleton, Ray Marshall, Roy Pugh and Dylan Grichar. Leroy Rockwell won the five lap Trophy Dash, and ten lap heat race wins went to Peyton Reigard and Pugh.

Next Saturday night will be the final point race for the ISCS Winged Sprint Car Series. The Sportsman Late Models are back along with the Street Stocks and Hornets. For further information, go to www.coosbayspeedway.us.


Interstate Sprint Car Series Comes To Coos Bay Speedway

Coos Bay, Oregon...The Interstate Sprint Car Series will crown its champion at Coos Bay Speedway this Saturday night in their season finale. This is the third visit for the group this year, and speedway officials are anticipating a car count into the twenties once again. Joining the popular Sprint Car division on the card will be the NASCAR Sportsman Late Models, Street Stocks, Mini Outlaws and Hornets.

The Interstate Sprint Car Series has been around in one form or another off and on during the past half a dozen years, but nothing had happened with it last season. It was Medford racer David Hibbard who started the talk that got the ball rolling to bring this series back. The idea was to do something special with the Sprint Cars running the limited rules package. This would include the cars at Coos Bay Speedway, the Limited Sprint division at Cottage Grove Speedway and the Winged Sprint Car class at Southern Oregon Speedway.

When Week Of Speed ran at Coos Bay to kick that series off, 29 Sprint Cars were in the pits. This shows just how powerful this idea was. Fans coming out to watch Sprint Car racing on Saturday night will see a good show as top Oregon drivers such as Tyler Thompson, David Hibbard, Shane Forte, Kinzer Cox, Camden Robustelli, Kyler Barraza and rising young star Tanner Holmes are expected to be among the field. Barraza and Forte have ISCS wins at Coos Bay, and visitors Ian Bandy and Aaron Miller have also picked up wins. Coos Bay Speedway should be represented by its own stars, including track point leader Brett Hulsey, reigning champion Lawrence Van Hoof, two-time champion Dave May, Kayla Green and Donovan Prather.

The Sportsman Late Models ran their first postseason race last week, and attrition took an ugly toll as two-time champion Wayne Butler, Trophy Dash winner Jeff Krossman and the steady Charlie Withers all loaded up with mechanical issues before the Main Event. Coming off of his win in the point season finale, Braden Fugate found himself matched up with Street Stock star Steve Dubisar, but it was Dubisar coming out on top in the Main Event. The drivers will have their cars fixed and ready to go once again this week.

Dubisar is probably the hottest driver in the Street Stocks during these past two months. He won again last week, which was his sixth of the year. His win came ahead of Troy Chamberlain and surprise Cottage Grove Speedway visitor Garrett Barth, who won his first Trophy Dash earlier in the evening. It didn't go all that well for Ken Fox, but he still has his championship and nine wins to his credit as he comes back this week. Other drivers to look for include season point runner-up David Smith, Daniel Land and Josh Bearden.

Sam Talon has been very dominant in the Mini Outlaws this season on his way to his second straight division championship and third in four years. However, Talon played second fiddle to John Henry in the most recent race. This was the second win of the season for Henry, who finished second in the standings. These two should be back this week, and others to watch for include Jason Kellam, Tom Siewell and Gene Gattenby.

"Hurricane" Hannah Robison was back behind the wheel of her #23h car and holding off new champion Tyler Tullos for her fourth win of the season. Hannah had a really impressive showing this season as she finished third in the standings behind April Warmack. It's all about bragging rights, and this will be a tune-up before the extra money race as part of the Prather Family Lucas Oil Open Show on October 6th. Other drivers to watch for this week include Gabrielle Bolles, Kris Parker, Dusty Shingleton, Leroy Rockwell and Chuck Peck.

For Sprint Car fans, Saturday night will be a can't miss show. Car count is supposed to be strong for this race. For Late Model fans, you'll need to mark October 6th on your calendar. The annual Prather Family Lucas Oil Open will be featuring a $1,200 to win Super Late Model show. New Super Late Model champion Brody Montgomery, division runner-up Thor Kristensen, Tom Elam and Deven Brown will be among those trying to pick up the big money, but some top drivers are anticipated from out of town, including Joey Tanner. There's just two races left to go on the schedule, and both are worthy of being attended. For further information, go to www.coosbayspeedway.us.


Diatte Wins Opening Night Of Dwarf Car Nationals 
At Marysville Raceway

Marysville, CA...September 21...Ryan Diatte won the opening night of the Western States Dwarf Car Association Dwarf Car Nationals at Marysville Raceway. The event is hosted by the Northern California Dwarf Car Association and is the original and longest running Nationals race on the schedule. Diatte also won the recent Nationals event at Southern Oregon Speedway.

The 75 entries were split into three different groups, and the Pro Division boasted the biggest turnout of 39 competitors. The 20 lap feature saw nine yellow flags slow the pace among the 24 car field. Diatte was followed closely by reigning NorCal Dwarf Car champion Danny Wagner. Nevada's Joe Frock was third, just ahead of Michael "Spanky" Grenert. Oregon's Anthony Pope finished a solid fifth, followed by Zach Albers, Adam Teves, South Bay Dwarf Car champion Gene "Punky" Pires, Brandon Ross and Matt Hagermann. All 10 competitors earned starting spots in the Fast Dash that will determine the first five rows of Saturday's Main Event.

The Pros ran four 10 lap heat races, and Dustin Washburn won his heat race in a close battle with Darren Brent. Thomas Lieby made a rare Dwarf Car start and won his heat race by a comfortable margin ahead of Tony Steffenmeir. Past NorCal and South Bay champion Shawn Jones outran Ryan Diatte to win the third heat, and the fourth heat race win went to Jeremy Blackshere ahead of Pires. The field was big enough for a six lap C Main, and Ryan Amlen won that race ahead of Brandon Gentry. The 15 lap B Main went to Darren Brown, followed by Grenert, Mark Hanson, Ross and two-time Southern Oregon Dwarf Car champion Brock Peters.

Brian Quilty won the 20 lap Veterans Main Event. All 23 competitors started the rapidly run event, and there were only three caution flags to slow the field. Quilty scored his victory ahead of 2016 Antioch champion Kevin Maraglio and reigning Antioch champion Mike Corsaro. Jeff Fitch finished fourth, followed by Carroll Mendenhall, Mike Reeder, Dan Geil, Scott Dahlgren, Buddy Olschowka and Southern Oregon Nationals winner Tim Fitzpatrick. They ran four eight lap heat races with wins going to Corsaro, Reeder, Fitch and Miraglio.

Southern Oregon racer Joe Sanders won the 20 lap Sportsman Main Event. Sanders was coming off of his best finish with his group in fourth last week in Medford, and he ran second to Shawn Whitney during the first half of the race before making his move in the race that only had two yellow flag slowdowns. Whitney settled for second, followed by Sam Borland, Robert Johnson, Troy Stevenson Jr, Jimmy Damron, Adam Freitas, Robert Kozinski, Mack Aceves and Mike Dahle. Whitney won the first eight lap heat race with Sanders in close pursuit, and the second heat race win went to Johnson ahead of Kozinski.

Elliott Wins Late Model Finale, Dees Champion 
At Southern Oregon Speedway

White City, Oregon...September 15...Making a charge from last starting after a heat race crash, Trent Elliott won the 20 lap Late Model Main Event Saturday night at Southern Oregon Speedway. Elliott had clipped an infield tire during his heat race, which damaged his steering and forced him to make repairs prior to the Main Event. John Dees used his second place finish to overtake Nathan Augustine to win the division championship.

Augustine carried an eight point lead over John Dees into the night, and Dees got things started with a four lap Trophy Dash win. Dees won the first six lap heat race, and Miles Deubert picked up the second heat win in front of Augustine. This meant that Augustine's lead over Dees was six points. John Dees took the early Main Event lead from his front row starting position, and Augustine made an inside pass in Turn 2 on Deubert to claim second. After completing the third lap, Augustine blew a motor and stalled in Turn 2 to end his evening. Elliott had made it up to fourth by then, and John Dees led Deubert and Elliott on the restart. An inside pass on the backstretch on lap six gained Elliott second from Deubert, and he made a low pass in Turn 3 two laps later to take the lead from Dees. Elliott began to pull away and stretched his lead to a straightaway over new champion John Dees by the waving of the checkered flag. Deubert wrapped up his "Rookie Of The Year" season with a third place finish, followed by Dave Foote, Kevin Putnam, Bob Dees and Augustine. Dave Everson was a Main Event scratch.

Peters Wins SODCA Dwarf Car Finale At Southern Oregon Speedway, King New Champion

White City, Oregon...September 15...Leading from the second lap, two-time champion Brock Peters went on to win his second Southern Oregon Dwarf Car 25 lap Main Event Saturday night at Southern Oregon Speedway. The win moved Peters into second in points in a tie with Chad Cardoza and Kalvin Morton. However, Josh King used his second place Main Event finish to win the championship.

King, Cardoza and Camden Robustelli entered the evening in a tie for the point lead. Robustelli moved ahead as he held off Cardoza to win his six lap heat race. Peters outran Fred Hay to win his heat race and Morton beat King to win their heat race. This put Robustelli into a slim lead heading into the Main Event. Morton won the six lap A Dash ahead of Peters, and Joe Sanders outran the Mod Lite of Jesse Lorentz to win the eight lap B Dash.

Robustelli led the opening lap of the Main Event before Peters used an inside pass in Turn 4 to take the lead. King followed him into second. Robustelli was holding on to the third position, but his race took a turn for the worse when he tangled with a slower car entering the first turn for the only yellow flag on lap 11. Robustelli was forced to restart at the back of the pack as Peters led King and Morton on the restart. Morton had blown a motor in his own car at the previous race and was driving the borrowed Bud Lorentz car. Cardoza had settled into fourth by then, followed by Sanders. Robustelli was passing cars rapidly and had made it up to eighth by lap 15. Sanders took fourth from Cardoza on lap 18 as Robustelli was up to seventh. Robustelli passed Cody Peters for sixth on lap 22, but that's where his progress ended. Brock Peters did all he could to move into the point lead as he won the race, but he was only able to make it into second in the standings. King used his second place finish to win the championship as Morton gained a share of second with his third place finish. Sanders was a season best fourth, followed by Cardoza, Robustelli, Hay, Steve Walker, Mason Lewman and Jesse Lorentz.

Marble Wins Bobbio's Pizza Mini Stock Finale, Steele Is 
The Champion At Southern Oregon Speedway

White City, Oregon...September 15...David Marble made his second appearance of the season in the Bobbio's Pizza Mini Stock division and won the 20 lap Main Event. Marble is the 2015 champion and needs only to start the final IMCA Sport Modified Main Event to win that division's championship. David Steele scored his second second place finish of the season, which was his worst finish of the year. He had already clinched the division championship just by starting the Main Event a week earlier.

Hunter Magnan started his evening off by outrunning Steve Goetz to win the four lap Trophy Dash. Magnan also won his six lap heat race ahead of Gary Anderson. Marble won the second heat race ahead of Steele. Tim Cunningham was driving a Ford Pinto that didn't quite fit the specifications of the rules and was allowed to start last in the Main Event for no money or points. 2017 champion Kristopher Mix was a Main Event scratch after heat race problems.

Marble and Magnan led the pack to the Main Event green flag, and Magnan led one lap before Marble went by in Turn 4 for the lead. Steele was running third and made an inside pass in Turn 4 of the fourth lap to take second from Magnan. Cunningham was putting on a show coming from deep in the pack and had already gained fourth by lap five. The third place battle was close, and Gary Anderson made a Turn 4 pass on lap eight to gain third, only to lose the position to Cunningham a lap later. Cunningham made an inside pass on the backstretch on the 10th lap to take second from Steele and made a low pass in Turn 4 on lap 15 to grab the lead from Marble. After leading the 16th lap, Cunningham began to slow and pitted as Marble regained the lead over Steele and Magnan. Marble led the remaining laps for the win, followed by Steele, Magnan, Anderson, Ashtin Hedges, Goetz, Michael McCloud, Garrett Fredrickson and Scott Yerges

Wonsyld Dominates In Fourth Win, Tritchler Wins JOAT Labs Hornets Championship At Southern Oregon Speedway

White City, Oregon...September 15...Leading the way from the start, Brandyn Wonsyld went on to win his fourth 20 lap JOAT Labs Hornets Main Event Saturday night at Southern Oregon Speedway. Wonsyld also had five second place finishes during the season, but his absence from two races effectively put an end to his championship bid. With Tim Hedges struggling throughout the race, Wonsyld managed to move to within one point of him for second in the final standings. Meanwhile, impressive rookie Bree Tritchler used her fifth second place finish of the season to win the division championship.

Dylan Irving held off Dylan Sauer to win his fifth four lap Trophy Dash of the season. Wonsyld then outran Irving to win his six lap heat race, while Jenna Hedges outran Chris Boynton to win the second heat race. Though 2016 champion Tim Hedges gained a point on Tritchler after the heat races, he knew his motor wouldn't last long in the Main Event and had a concern that his car wouldn't even start. Had he failed to start, he would have lost second in the standings. Wonsyld and Jenna Hedges led the pack to the green flag and ran 1-2 at the start. Sauer settled into third. Tritchler was running in fifth and passed both Sauer and Irving for third on lap six. Lap seven saw Jenna Hedges get out of shape in Turn 4 and lose ground to Wonsyld. Tritchler continued her effort to close in on Jenna Hedges as Wonsyld held a straightaway advantage by lap 14. Tritchler finally moved by Jenna Hedges for second on lap 17, but only mechanical issues would stop Wonsyld. There were no problems as Wonsyld brought it home to the satisfying victory, followed by Tritchler. Sauer passed Jenna Hedges for third on lap 18 as she settled for fourth, followed by Irving, Boynton, Jenia Silva, John Ferreira, Zach Nelson and Tim Hedges.

Aos Wins Second Straight Valley Store All Late Model Lites Feature, Eaton Champion At Southern Oregon Speedway

White City, Oregon...September 15...Leading all the way from the start, Eric Aos won the 20 lap Valley Store All Late Model Lites Main Event Saturday night at Southern Oregon Speedway. This was the second straight win and third of the season for Aos. Charlie Eaton wrapped up the division championship with his third second place finish. Eaton also had three wins this season and had two season worst finishes of third.

Eaton opened the evening with a four lap Trophy Dash win ahead of his closest point rival, Greg Arnold, and he followed that up with a six lap heat race win in front of Eric Aos. Eric Aos charged into the Main Event lead from his outside front row starting position with Eaton in close pursuit. Greg Arnold and Dusty Aos were having a good battle for the second position until Dusty Aos pitted on lap seven. A couple of times, Eaton made a serious challenge for the lead. Contact between the two cars on the front stretch on the 13th lap saw Eaton back off rather than taking out the leader. Eric Aos kept his cool in the waning laps and scored the victory, followed by Eaton, Greg Arnold, Jim Cunningham and Dusty Aos.

Modifieds, Sprint Cars Headline Championship Night 
At Southern Oregon Speedway

White City, Oregon...Some of the biggest nights of this season have included the IMCA Modifieds. On Saturday night, the racing season at Southern Oregon Speedway comes to a close with a program that will feature the IMCA Modifieds. Also on the card will be the Kendall Oil Winged Sprint Cars, IMCA Sport Modifieds, Calculated Comfort Outlaw Pro Stocks and OTRO Hardtops.

Just three weeks ago, the track had its biggest weekend car count of the year with nearly 140 cars. The show was the R Charles Snyder Salute, which featured IMCA Modifieds. This also presented a problem for the championship contenders as this was a point race. A year earlier, Albert Gill saw his championship hopes derailed when he failed to make it into the Main Event. This time around, he won a B Main to get into the Main Event and only finished a few positions behind championship contender Nick Trenchard. Therefore, Gill has put himself in a nice position to win his third championship in five seasons.

Gill has been the most consistent driver this season with three second place finishes and two thirds to his credit, and this gives him a 17 point lead over two-time winner Trenchard going into the night. It's possible that Gill could clinch the championship merely by starting Saturday night's Main Event.

Because he was unable to make it into the Main Event at the R Charles Snyder Salute, three-time winner Zach Fettinger is further back in third. He leads rookie David Satterfield by just 11 points. These four drivers are anticipated this week along with Jantzen Knips, seven-time champion Mark Wauge, Duane Orsburn and Dave Duste Jr.

Last time out, David Hibbard had his worst finish of the season in fourth in the Kendall Oil Winged Sprint Car division. However, with five wins and two seconds going Into that night, he only needed to start the race to assure himself of his first championship at his home track. Hibbard is the 2014 champion at Cottage Grove Speedway. There is a battle for second in the standings, currently led by Jeffrey Hudson ahead of Bailey Hibbard and Blaine Cory.

Hudson leads Bailey by just 11 points going into the night with Cory trailing the younger Hibbard by just 12.  Early in the most recent Main Event, Hudson and Cory got tangled and flipped coming out of Turn 2.  When Bailey Hibbard finished second that night, he managed to overtake Cory for third in the standings.

The star of the night was Outlaw Kart phenom Tanner Holmes, who won his first career Main Event. Holmes went to Cottage Grove last week and did it again. The 15 year old leadfoot could very well be the driver to beat this weekend. Other drivers to look for include Enrique Jaime, Aaron Miller, Charlie Thompson, Merissa Henson and TJ Winningham.

The IMCA Sport Modifieds delivered a track record of over 50 cars to the R Charles Snyder Salute three weeks ago. The record will show that in eight point races, there have been eight different winners. David Marble has consistently finished in the Top 5 in most of those races and has one win. Though he didn't make it into the big show, none of his championship rivals did either. Marble leads Branden Wilson by 22 points going into the night and will just need to start the Main Event to assure himself of the championship.

There's a closer battle for second with Wilson leading Tony Duste by 12 points and Tony Bartell by 15. Willie McFall could also move up a position or two from his fifth spot. These five drivers are anticipated this week, and others to watch for include Jesse Merriman, Jimmy Lipke, Danny Rule, Michael Rule and two-time champion Dwayne Melvin.

The Calculated Comfort Outlaw Pro Stocks have been invited back for what will be their season finale. Reigning champion Dr Scott Lenz finds himself leading the standings by 72 points ahead of the consistent Scott Flowers. Lenz has been on a roll this year with seven feature wins on the circuit, including five straight in Yreka. He comes into the night as the driver to beat. 2016 champion Steve Borror is third in the standings and counts himself as a one-time winner this year. He could be the biggest threat to Lenz, but other drivers to keep an eye on include Matt Harlow, John David Duffie, Johnny Cobb, James Flowers and Bryan Hammond.

Rounding out the program will be the beautiful Hardtops of the Old Time Racers of Oregon Association. Mark Minter has won three straight headed into their final race. Bill Trotter finished second last time and is also a one-time winner with the group this season. These beautiful Coupe and Sedan racers from the 1940s put on a good show, and other drivers to watch for this week including Dean Cast, Justin Krossman, Chris Mehrer, Jay Smith and Matt Butler.

This will be your last opportunity to check out a race at Southern Oregon Speedway before the season comes to a close. Gates open at 5 p.m. with Trophy Dashes scheduled to start at 7 p.m. General Admission is $12. Seniors, Veterans and Juniors (7 to 12) are $6 and children 6 and under are free.

Boswell, Alford Win First Main Events At Siskiyou Speedway

Yreka, CA...September 15...Ryder Boswell won his first career IMCA Sport Modified Main Event of the season Saturday night at Siskiyou Motor Speedway. The win will clinch him second in the standings behind new champion Trevor Tiffee. Boswell gave a glimpse of things to come when he held off Randy Wright to win the eight lap heat race. In the Main Event, Ethan Killingsworth and Keith Foux both made their presence known at the front of the pack. Killingsworth was looking for his first career win. However, the determined Boswell kept them both at bay for a hard-fought victory. Killingsworth collected his fourth consecutive second place finish, followed by Foux, Tiffee, Trophy Dash winner Gary Foster, Wright and Jimmy Lipke.

After posting back-to-back third place feature finishes, rookie Darek Alford won his first career 20 lap Mini Stock Main Event. Dennis Jorgensen was back looking for his second straight win and battled Alford down the stretch. However, Alford was not about to let this win get away as he kept his cool on his way to the checkered flag. Jorgensen settled for second. Marilyn Yawnick maintained her point lead with a third place finish ahead of championship contender Mike Whitaker. Greg McDonald finished fifth, followed by Zac McMurray, Jason Frost, Michael Kendrick, Terry Kendrick and past Hayfork Speedway champion Jack Turner. Yawnick and Jorgensen won their respective heat races, and Kendrick won the four lap Trophy Dash.

Dr Scott Lenz won the 30 lap Calculated Comfort Outlaw Pro Stock Main Event. This was the fifth straight Yreka victory for the current point leader and likely 2018 champion. Lenz got out front and set such a pace that second place finisher John David Duffie was more than a half-lap behind in second. James Flowers rounded out the Top 3 finishers. Ray Kniffen Jr was a lap down in fourth, followed by Scott Flowers, Bryan Hammond, Matt Harlow, Ginny Flowers, Steve Borror and Jeff Haudenshild. Borror won a good battle with Lenz for the four lap Trophy Dash victory, and Lenz and Duffie won their eight lap heat races.

The program was rounded out by a special visit from the Jefferson State Jalopy Association. Josh Bernstein won the 15 lap Main Event ahead of Marilyn Yawnick and Mark Super. JJ Smith was a Main Event scratch. Bernstein won the four lap Trophy Dash, and Yawnick was the eight lap heat race winner.

On Sunday afternoon, several drivers made some practice laps in anticipation for next Sunday's season finale. It is the Annual Rod Restad Memorial Race, and it will pay $1,200 to the IMCA Modified Main Event winner. The IMCA Sport Modifieds will be competing for $1,000 to win. Also in action will be the Mini Stocks.  For further information, go to www.siskiyoumotorspeedway.com.


Rod Restad Memorial Set To Close Siskiyou Speedway Season

Yreka, CA...It doesn't seem like we've had quite enough racing this year at Siskiyou Motor Speedway thanks to some early rainouts and a difficult fire season. On Saturday night, it all comes to a close with the annual Rod Restad Memorial Race. This season ending tradition at the speedway honors one of the track's top promoters. Featured divisions will include the IMCA Modifieds, IMCA Sport Modifieds and Mini Stocks, and the purses will be increased as usual.

When the IMCA Modifieds were booked this year, it was decided to run mostly special events. Three of the races on the schedule run for increased purses, and Sunday's show will feature a $1,200 to win first prize. The race was moved to Sunday by SCMA officials to work with neighboring Southern Oregon Speedway and try to draw more competitors to the field. The Medford track closes their point season on Saturday.

In the three races held so far, three different drivers have taken their turn in the Winner's Circle. Ryan McDaniel opened the season with the victory, but he settled for second behind Mark Wauge in the John Arnberg Memorial Race. The IMCA Wild West Speedweek Tour event was won by past Yreka champion Nick Trenchard. McDaniel finished fourth that night, and as a result he holds a 17 point advantage over Southern Oregon Speedway point leader Albert Gill. Sitting third in the standings, 21 points behind Gill, is Trenchard. These three drivers would have to be considered favorites to get the win on Sunday.

McDaniel has given hints that he may not show for the final race, which would open the door for Gill to claim his third Yreka championship. Other drivers to watch for this week include Wauge, James Welschonse, Jeremy Ohlde, Duane Orsburn, James Anderson and Grey Fernando. Fernando currently leads the Willamette Speedway points and is the defending champion of this race. Being that this is a Sunday event, there is no telling who might show up for a run at the money.

Last week, Trevor Tiffee finished fourth in the Main Event. As a result, he has clinched the 2018 IMCA Sport Modified championship. His closest point rival, Ryder Boswell, clinched second in the standings with his first career feature win. The developing story in recent weeks has been rookie Ethan Killingsworth. Last week, Ethan picked up his fourth straight second place finish as he continues to knock on the door to victory. Ethan has also moved into the Top 5 in the standings and has positioned himself as one of the favorites to win the big money on Sunday.

The $1,000 first prize has lured Keith Foux back behind the wheel. Keith returned last week to tune up for the race that he won last season. He finished third last week and is another driver who could be a threat to win. There should be a good turnout with a few surprise visitors anticipated. Other drivers to watch for this week include 2016 champion Jimmy Lipke, Randy Wright, Gary Foster, Rich McCoy, two-time Medford Champion Mike Medel and Jimmy Ford.

The Mini Stock division has been a battle all season long, but it's coming to a close. Following her third place finish last week, Marilyn Yawnick appears to be closing in on her third straight division championship. The three-time feature winner leads one-time winner and two-time division champion Mike Whitaker by 27 points. Whitaker had a fourth place finish last time to move past Terry Kendrick in the battle for second. He leads Kendrick by just one point. A decent finish could clinch the championship for Yawnick, but the battle for second might just go down to the final checkered flag. Kendrick has yet to win this year, but he has two seconds and three thirds. Last week was his second straight disappointing finish. However, all three of these drivers are champions, and any one of them could win on Sunday.

Zac McMurray continues to hold fourth as the top rookie in the standings. However, his lead is just 26 points over Darek Alford who has his sights set on the top rookie award. Alfred has saved his best for last with two third place finishes and his very first Main Event victory. That happened last week as he held off Dennis Jorgensen for the win. The Mini Stocks had a strong turnout last week, and it's only expected to get bigger as the Medford drivers come down, likely to be led by five-time winner and 2015 champion David Steele. Steele just wrapped up his first championship in Medford after winning an incredible nine Main Events. Other drivers to watch for include Jason Frost, Mike Kendrick, Hunter Magnan and Michael McCloud.

Sunday will be your last opportunity to check out racing on the big track before the season comes to a close. It's going to be a good show, and it's not just going to be about the racing. There will also be a bike giveaway for the kids and a kid's bike race during the night. It all adds up to great family entertainment. For further information, go to www.siskiyoumotorspeedway.com.

Rolling Thunder Big Rigs Come To Coos Bay Speedway

Coos Bay, Oregon...There are just three events remaining on the oval track at Coos Bay Speedway, and this Saturday night is a special program. The Rolling Thunder Big Rigs will be there to put on a show for the fans. Also competing will be the NASCAR Sportsman Late Models, Street Stocks, Mini Outlaws and Hornets.

Fans don't often get to see Big Rigs racing on an oval track. There will be nine of them on Saturday. You may recall seeing scenes of Big Rig racing in the movie Smokey and the Bandit. In 2001, the USA1 Race Team began a series that saw them traveling from coast to coast. These days, it's the Rolling Thunder Big Rigs. The trucks are big, the horsepower is high in these vehicles and these drivers are not afraid to mix it up on the dirt or the pavement. They've been racing mostly at various Washington tracks this year, but the drivers are looking forward to coming to Coos Bay on Saturday night.

Dyllan Siewell was crowned the NASCAR Sportsman Late Model champion on Championship Night two weeks ago. Siewell has six feature wins this year and a division-leading 17 Top 5 finishes, but he's been shut out of the win column in recent weeks. Last time out, rookie Braden Fugate impressed as he held off nine-time winner Wayne Butler for the victory. Butler made a late-season charge up the point ladder, but he fell just 14 points behind Siewell in second. These three drivers are anticipated this week along with Tom Williams and Stacy Robison.

Ken Fox won the Street Stock championship this year on the strength of nine wins and 17 Top 5 finishes. Though without a win, David Smith used his 16 Top 5 finishes to secure second. However, the driver to beat in the last half of the season was Steve Dubisar. Dubisar won his fifth Main Event at the most recent race, but he fell just 14 points shy of Jeff Thurman in his bid to move into third in the standings. These four drivers are anticipated this week along with Josh Bearden and Toby McIntyre.

Sam Talon left little doubt that he would repeat as the Mini Outlaw champion by winning his division-leading 11th Main Event on Championship Night. Talon has been a force in the division and was never seriously challenged for the championship. Jason Kellam was a two-time winner who managed to grab second in the standings by just 10 points over John Henry. Henry had been driving the #12 car this year and was a one-time winner, but Ken Fox took the wheel in the later stages of the season and picked up four wins along the way. Tom Siewell is another driver anticipated this week and he is a one-time winner this season. Others to watch for include Jason Berrier and Hunter Berrier.

Tyler Tullos picked up an impressive eight feature wins and only missed the Top 5 in the Main Event twice this season. There was no doubt that he would win the Hornets division championship. With one victory and 12 Top 5 finishes, April Warmack would finish second. She's anxious to get back to the Winner's Circle again. Third-ranked Hannah Robison picked up three wins along the way this season, but she has also put others in her car in recent races. These three cars are anticipated this week, and other racers to watch for include Chris Parker, Chuck Peck, Leroy Rockwell, Dusty Shingleton and David Pellum.

The Big Rigs offer the fans a unique type of entertainment. If you've never seen them on a dirt track, you should treat yourself to this show. With the four NASCAR divisions also on the card, this should be a fun evening for the family. Just two races remain after this, including the ISCS Winged Sprint Cars. The season closes with the annual Lucas Oil Open, presented by the Prather family. The Super Late Models will be there among other classes on October 6th.

Cox Wraps Up PRA Hardtop Championship With Win 
At Douglas County Speedway

Roseburg, Oregon...September 15...Harlan Cox won his seventh 30 lap PRA Hardtop Main Event Saturday night at Douglas County Speedway. The win wrapped up an impressive championship season. Cox scored his win not too far ahead of Riley Watson. Division point runner-up Kyran Greene was a half-lap back in third with Troy Gasner the final lead lap finisher. 2016 champion Greg Hickman finished fifth, followed by Steve Smith, Donni Fain, Tanner Metcalf, Chris Mehrer and Brian Lenihan. Cox set the quick time of 17.085, beating the 17.200 of Greene. Watson won the four lap Trophy Dash, and eight lap heat race wins went to Fain and Watson.

Riley Watson also had a good night in the PRA Modified class as he won their 20 Main Event in a close race with Brad Watson and new champion John Harvey, who finished second and third respectively. Harlan Cox was the final lead lap finisher in fourth as Tom Durant and Jeff Solberg rounded out the finishing order. Riley Watson set the quickest time of 15.798, beating the 16.002 of Solberg. Harvey claimed four lap Trophy Dash honors, and the eight lap heat race win went to Riley Watson.

John Dumire was the winner of the 30 lap Street Stock Main Event. Dumire won with Dale Roth not too far behind in second. New champion Jeff Solberg was a solid third as Gary Perry, Monique Scevers, Larry Means and Bill Stewart also finished on the lead lap in order. Chris Lemon and Don Livermore completed the finishing order. Solberg set the fastest lap of 16.847, beating the 16.950 of Roth. Dumire won the four lap Trophy Dash, and eight lap heat race wins were recorded by Scevers and Dumire.

Karl Smith turned in a rather dominant performance in winning the 30 lap Mini Stock Main Event, but it wasn't quite good enough to gain him the division championship. Dale Roth finished a distant second, while still on the lead lap. This enabled Roth to win the championship by nine points ahead of Smith as incoming point leader and previous champion Chuck Jacobs was 12 points out of the lead by the end of the night. Kieri Smith was one lap down in third in the Main Event as Ron Johnson, Gary Carnes and Jacobs rounded out the finishing order. Karl Smith's lap of 17.252 was the quickest in qualifying as Roth had a 17.946. Kieri Smith claimed the four lap Trophy Dash, and the eight lap heat race win went to Karl Smith.

Dave Beals scored his third 30 lap Hornet Main Event victory. Ron Johnson was over half a lap behind in second with Bruce McMasters the final lead lap finisher in third. Jeremy Mayfield finished fourth, followed by Jeremy Simms, Bob Vancil, new champion Pete Lemon, Dylan Gricher, Tyler Organ and Valerie West. Beals set the fast time standard of 19.456 as McMasters was second quick at 20.091. Beals continued what was to be a clean sweep effort with his wins in the four lap Trophy Dash and his eight lap heat race. Mayfield was the other heat race winner.


Pit Stops

Saturday night at Southern Oregon Speedway was Championship Night #1. Five championships would be decided that night. Actually, we already knew who the champions were in the Bobbio's Pizza Mini Stocks and Valley Store All Late Model Lites divisions, but the other three divisions were very close. There was plenty of drama to go around throughout the evening.

The Southern Oregon Dwarf Car Association did their best to upstage everybody else. All season long, the 20 year old Dwarf Car organization was putting good numbers on the track. Last week was one of several 20 car fields brought to the speedway by this group. The Dwarf Car point structure is conducive to close championship battles. It allows drivers to throw away two bad nights, or just nights when they might not have made it to the speedway.

Camden Robustelli has been racing Sprint Cars this year and missed two races to compete elsewhere, but the throw away rule helped put him in a tie with Chad Cardoza and Josh King going into the night. King might seem like the driver with the advantage with two championships to his credit, but Robustelli and Cardoza have been in the thick of the battle in the past. Both drivers have finished as high as second in the standings. Plus, Robustelli was probably the hottest driver going into the night. He won the previous race at Southern Oregon Speedway and then competed against some of the best drivers Oregon has to offer and won at Cottage Grove Speedway.

The group gives points for the heat races, but the A and B Dashes help line up the Main Event and are not for points. Robustelli won his heat race and carried a slim point lead into the Main Event. This was going to get interesting. Robustelli led a lap, but two-time champions Brock Peters and Josh King were able to get by him on the second lap. Still, Robustelli kept it close throughout the first 11 laps. Had they stayed in this order, it would have been interesting to see where the points fell, but Robustelli saw his run up front end in a tangle with a slower car.

As the two-time reigning champion, Peters was trying to overcome some bad luck this year. He wasn't far out of the lead, but he needed bad nights for the other three drivers to make his move. However, he did absolutely everything he could do by winning his heat race and the Main Event. That enabled him to move into a tie with Cardoza and Kalvin Morton for second in the standings.

Morton probably wouldn't have made it to the show had it not been for Bud Lorentz allowing him to borrow his car. Kalvin blew a motor in his own car. He made the most of it with a nice drive to a third place finish after winning his heat race and the A Dash

However, the big winner of the night was King. He used his second place finish to notch his third club championship in the last five years. It's been a difficult season for the James family as Markey James passed away earlier this year. The James family has been entrenched in Southern Oregon racing since the 1950s when Cecil James was a racer and promoter at the old Medford Raceway. Markey was Josh's grandfather, and Josh wasn't necessarily going into the season with any thoughts of winning a championship.

It was definitely a team effort. At times he was borrowing cars, including Jerry Hauck's race car. Josh drove the wheels off of it every time he had the opportunity. He is certainly a worthy champion, and the family had plenty of reason for a well deserved celebration. By all accounts, this was a great season for the Southern Oregon Dwarf Cars.

Though he was not in the championship hunt, Joe Sanders had his best finish to date. He started it off by beating the Mod Lite of Jesse Lorentz to win the B Dash. It was his first win with the group this year. He followed that up with a career-best fourth place finish in the Main Event. Sanders has gotten quicker as the season has worn on, and he will certainly be somebody to watch next year in the point battle. He held off Cardoza for that fourth place finish, which is also something to be proud of.

Back in sixth at the checkered flag was Robustelli. He spent the last 14 laps driving his heart out trying to get a shot at the leaders one more time. He did it all without a yellow flag, but it was just not to be. He can certainly be proud of the effort he put forth. Ageless veteran Fred Hay certainly had his moments during the season with a pair of podium finishes. He maintained his Top 10 point status with a seventh place feature finish. Dwarf Car fans consider it a blessing that Fred is even out there in light of the hard crash at Chico two years ago that could have ended his career. Even when he was recovering, he kept his spirits up and had a good sense of humor. It's hard to imagine a Dwarf Car event at Southern Oregon Speedway that doesn't include the yellow #10 car of Fast Freddie, who has been racing in Medford for over 50 years.

There's something big on the horizon with the Late Model division. We'll just leave that little teaser out there, but it's something that could not only entice racers to build cars to join the effort, it could also be responsible for bringing more visitation to the fast, Jim Rodgers prepared 3/10th mile clay oval. This is the third year of the Late Model movement at Southern Oregon Speedway, and there is much to be proud of heading into the fourth season.

Nathan Augustine and John Dees have been battling fiercely for the Late Model point lead. The two drivers have respect for each other and endeavor to race each other clean. If not for his absence for a family gathering, John Dees might have entered the final race as the point leader. As it was, his impressive numbers, including four second place finishes and one feature triumph, had him just eight points behind the reigning champion Augustine.

For Augustine, the season took a decidedly disappointing turn when he was taken out by a lapped car in the third event of the season. Nathan had finished second in the opener and won the next race, but the two races that followed were anything but enjoyable. He had to borrow the Don Garrett Jr car just to maintain his point lead at the fourth event before winning the fifth race in his new car. As the incoming point leader, Nathan could play defense. He only lost two points from his lead after preliminaries, meaning he led Dees by six points going into the feature.

That might have been the good news, but the bad news was his motor wasn't sounding very good after the heat race. Nathan pulled into second early on, but it was only three laps into the race when his motor went up in a cloud of smoke. His night was over. Unless something disastrous happened to John Dees, Nathan would have to settle for second in the standings. Dees continued to lead, but he soon got a challenge from Trent Elliott.

We haven't seen Elliott since last season, when he made a rare appearance and won the Main Event that night. Trent looked like a serious threat in his heat race as he flew around the track, but contact with an infield tire left him with front end damage. The crew endeavored to get that fixed and that allowed him to start at the back of the Main Event. Elliott methodically worked his way to the front and took the lead from Dees before going on to an impressive victory. He remarked afterward that he enjoys racing at Southern Oregon Speedway and would like to make more appearances in the future.

Meanwhile, Dees was using his fifth second place finish of the season to wrap up the championship. He now joins his father, 2016 champion Bob Dees, on the list of past Southern Oregon Speedway champions. The driver finishing third in the Main Event can certainly be proud as well. He's Miles Deubert.

Miles didn't know what his racing plans might be this year when the opportunity presented itself for him to drive the 2017 Madras Speedway Late Model championship car. The question was answered about how he would do when he surprised the field in the season opener for the victory. However, Miles adjusted the setup and had a few disappointing efforts in the weeks that followed with only one second place finish shown as a podium finish in his next five starts. It was at the seventh event when he won the Main Event for the second time. He won his heat race and finished third in the last Main Event to secure "Rookie Of The Year" honors and third in the final standings.

Dave Foote settled for fourth, but his numbers improved greatly from the previous season. Dave happily makes the trip from Coos Bay to come race at Southern Oregon Speedway and picked up two Main Event wins and two Trophy Dash victories this year. He can certainly be proud of his effort.

David Steele put on one of the more dominant performances in Bobbio's Pizza Mini Stock history. He came into the night with nine wins and a second place finish and already knew he was the champion. The question was, who could beat David Steele? The answer came from 2015 champion David Marble. I can.

Marble ended up with his old championship car when he bought it back from Mike Weiser prior to the season. He's only made a few limited appearances on the circuit as he focused on his IMCA Sport Modified championship effort. With nowhere else to race last Saturday, David was happy to come to Southern Oregon Speedway. A heat race win put him on the front row with Hunter Magnan. David got the lead rather quickly, and other than a threat from a car that wasn't running to Southern Oregon Speedway rules, he was never threatened in the later stages as he picked up the victory.

For Steele, he ended up with a season-worst second place finish. When you say season-worst and it's a second place finish, you know you've done well. It was a rare night when David didn't win any of the events, but he still carried himself with his trademark class as one of the more respected racers in the field.

Hunter Magnan is on the verge of some good things in the future. Last season, he struggled at times while still winning the top rookie honors. This season, he made his presence known and won an early-season battle with reigning champion Kristopher Mix to end up second in the standings. He also won his second Trophy Dash of the season at the finale. Hunter led the field in second place finishes in a tie with 2013 champion Steve Goetz at four. He picked up his third third place finish in the finale to end his second place point season on a positive note. Keep an eye on that #33m car next season.

Steve Goetz had just managed to take over third in the standings after the previous race. His original intent was not to race on Saturday as his grandmother was having her birthday celebration. At her urging, he came out to race and would head up to visit her the next day. He finished sixth in the Main Event to keep third in the standings. The bad luck for Kristopher Mix continued as mechanical issues in his heat race forced him to scratch from the Main Event. He will end up fourth in the standings.

if not for a late start, Ashtin Hedges might have won the top rookie award this year. As it was, he did everything he could to reel in Michael McCloud. His fifth place finish in the finale wasn't quite good enough to pass McLeod. Garrett Fredrickson was happy to get his car to the finish line in eighth and therefore hold off McCloud for fifth in the final standings. It was the first time Garrett had raced for points.

In the JOAT Labs Hornets division, Tim Hedges knew he was in a bad position. His car was underpowered and his motor was about ready to give up on him. He had the car at the track that his son and Ashtin drove to two victories, but that would be for his wife Jenna to drive. Tim didn't even consider taking over the driving duties and instead decided that he would make the best of what he had. The only question would be, could he start the Main Event and would it be enough to hold on to second in the standings.

Rookie Bree Tritchler wasn't buying into any of this. She had heard in the past that the Hedges car wasn't running well, like the night he got his car up on two wheels and still finished third in the Main Event. Tritchler was nervous going into the night. As it turns out, she had nothing to worry about. Hedges struggled though he was able to get the Main Event start he needed. He still took a checkered flag, but he passed nobody in last. Because of his preliminary efforts, he withstood the late threat of Brandyn Wonsyld for second in the standings.

Tritchler would move into second in a battle with Jenna Hedges, but by then Wonsyld was a straightaway in the lead. She knew that she had what she needed, and she earned her fifth second place finish of the season to wrap up what some might consider a surprising championship. She was smooth and consistent all season long and deserved this honor.

For Wonsyld, he's left to wonder what might have happened had he not missed two races. He was the early-season point leader, and the record shows that among his accomplishments were five second place finishes and four wins, including his win in the final race. He lost to Tim Hedges by one point in the race for second.

Dylan Sauer continued to end his season on a strong note. His late-season charge that included second and third place finishes in the final two races moved him comfortably into the Top 10 in the final standings. Dylan Irving, meanwhile, could be considered the Trophy Dash king of the division. Saturday night was his fifth Dash win of the season. He went through quite a bit of bad luck during the first five races before things started to click for him. He won a Main Event down the stretch as well as finishing third twice, and this enabled him to finish fifth behind another impressive rookie, Chris Boynton.

When you watch the brother and sister team of Boynton and Tritchler, you have to wonder about some of the paint trading they do on the track. But it's a sibling rivalry thing. They're both having fun out there. Boynton knew that he could lose fourth in the standings to Irving, but he was able to hold on to the position with his sixth place feature finish right behind Irving. Chris counts two feature wins as his best efforts of the season.

The Valley Store All Late Model Lites championship was won by Charlie Eaton. Eaton was the most consistent driver in the group this season as he never finished outside the Top 3. He was also a three-time winner this year and kicked off the final night with Trophy Dash and heat race victories. The question was, who was going to win the final race of the season?

Eric Aos has certainly had some bad luck this year, but his season ended on an optimistic note. The record shows that he won the season opener, and he won the race leading into the finale as well. He got the lead early on in the final race, but Eaton was there to make his presence known. When there was a little bit of contact between the two drivers, Eaton backed off rather than take out Aos. He settled for his third second place finish behind three-time winner Aos. Aos would finish third in the final standings while one-time feature winner Greg Arnold was second.

The Jefferson State Jalopies got the opportunity to make their third appearance at Siskiyou Motor Speedway last Saturday night. This is significant as the track certainly needs more divisions on its roster in the future. The pressure is put on the IMCA Sport Modifieds and Mini Stocks as the regularly.featured divisions, but Karl Bernstein and JJ Smith have been building these unique Jalopies for the past couple of years. They are nearly finished with a fifth car. One way to describe them is a bigger version of a Dwarf Car. They had all four of their cars at the most recent race and hope to be a part of the schedule more often next year.

One of the main concerns for Bernstein is getting drivers for cars. For the most recent race they enlisted Mini Stock point leader of Marilyn Yawnick to drive a car, and she won a heat race with it before finishing second in the Main Event behind Josh Bernstein. Bernstein went on record earlier this year as the winner of the Trophy Dash and a $50 bill put up by Donny Bottoms. He was followed in the Main Event by Yawnick and Mark Super, while JJ Smith had mechanical issues take him out before the Main Event.

It is significant to see this division get an opportunity for some races. It looks like Bernstein and Smith will continue to build cars even beyond he fifth one. They seem intent on building the class themselves. However, as this thing gathers some steam, hopefully with a set of rules for others to follow, others might build cars as well.

The IMCA Sport Modified division has been a battle this year between Trevor Tiffee and longtime friend Ryder Boswell. Tiffee secured the championship last week just by finishing fourth in the Main Event. However, Boswell finally had his moment in the spotlight as he held off Ethan Killingsworth for his first career Main Event win. Boswell has won Mini Stock Main Events as a past point runner up in that class, but he finally got the monkey off his back in the IMCA Sport Modifieds. He also wrapped up second in the final point standings ahead of 2016 champion Jimmy Lipke.

There is a battle going on for fourth in the standings, but Ethan Killingsworth seems intent on settling that matter in his favor. The Mini Stock star has gotten faster with each start in the Sport Modifieds. Saturday was his fourth straight second place finish, and he seems to be on the verge of getting his first career win. Behind him was last year's Rod Restad Memorial winner, Keith Foux. The locals will be hoping to bring the money home as drivers from north and south are likely to come compete this Sunday night for the $1,000 prize.

We've been talking about who among the new crop of racers might get their first Mini Stock win. Darek Alford is one of the teen racers who just joined the field this year. He bought the former Devon Weiser car. His numbers have been impressive in recent weeks. It looked like he might not have a shot at Zac McMurray for the rookie award, but his victory on Saturday gained him valuable ground. This makes three straight Top 3 finishes as he moved into fifth in the standings. To get this win, he had to hold off previous winner Dennis Jorgensen and point leader Marilyn Yawnick.

It's too early to say the point battle is over. Anybody who witnessed what happened in the final race last year knows it can get crazy out there. Ethan Killingsworth seemed on the verge of getting the championship when contact put him into the front wall in the Main Event and out of action. Yawnick leads the way over teammate Mike Whitaker. Both drivers are two-time champions looking for their third. For Marilyn, this would be her third in a row. She finished third in the latest Main Event, while Whitaker finished fourth. He used that finish to gain a one point lead over Terry Kendrick. Any one of those three drivers could still win the championship, though it seems to be Yawnick's title to lose.

The revival at Orland Raceway continues. Rich Hood, who is in his third year as the promoter, has instituted some special events during the season. Last Saturday was Fan Appreciation Night. While some tracks will have the drivers pull up on the front straight away and get out of their cars, Fan Appreciation Night at Orland Raceway starts before the races with cars on display behind the main grandstand. It goes over very well with the racing community, and it's this type of thing that is getting more people out to watch the races.

The fans are also seeing some good racing in all divisions. The California Hardtops made the trip up for this show. Within the group, there is some hope that perhaps they could be added to one of the final three races remaining on the schedule. As for this night, Tom Grady won a nice battle between himself, Jason Armstrong and local leadfoot Mario Romano. Ken Retzloff recovered from an early race tangle to move into the fourth spot, and they mixed it up ahead of fifth place finisher Ken Clifford.

The one thing about the Hardtops is they are very popular among the fans in Orland. The unique look of these cars and the fact that the drivers take pride in the way their cars look goes over well with the fans. All eight of the competitors on hand put their cars on display as part of Fan Appreciation Night. Clifford surprised Joe Shenefield when he presented him with the California Hardtop Association championship trophy. They don't really run for points in the group, but Shenefield has a perfect attendance record as the biggest supporter of the group in 2018.

They are running for points in the Mini Stock division, and things may have been shaken up when reigning champion Tom Davis picked up another win. The Ford Pinto of Jason Libbee won a heat race earlier in the night and was glued to Davis's bumper when his hood flew up with three laps to go. Libbee made a charge up from the back of the pack to finish third while Davis won again. A winner in the past, Donovan Chilton finished second. He was driving the car wheeled by Paul Stevens to a win earlier this year. We haven't seen a point listing to know where Davis is. Barbara Crain was the leader going into the night, and we do know that Sean Perry was unable to get his car to start as he was pushed on the pace lap.

Another driver hoping to repeat as champion is Keith Ross. Actually, it looks like the deal may be done as he won the Mini Truck Main Event yet again ahead of long-time Orland Raceway competitor Olin Crain and 2016 champion Dan Webster. William Fogle is still hoping to hold on to second in the standings, and he picked up his first career heat race win earlier in the evening.

We would certainly love to know what the point sheets look like, but they haven't been released as of press time. It's likely that Paul Stevens is heading for another Pure Stock championship. The 2015 champion hasn't won as much as Chico champion Jeremy Langenderfer. However, it seems like he is usually in second when Langenderfer wins. That was again the case on Saturday night as Langenderfer won ahead of Stevens. Thomas Pavlik finished third. When things got a little bit too heated between Stevens and Langenderfer earlier this season, both drivers were disqualified, and that gave Pavlik the feature win that night. The way he's been looking, it won't be a surprise to see him actually take a checkered flag first soon.

Orland Raceway has one more point race on September 29th. There are two Battle Of The Axles special races on October 6th and 13th. Those are non point races that offered more money when they debuted last season. In fact, the Pure Stock portion of that show delivered 29 cars to the field. Paul Stevens pocketed $1,000 for his win. Pure Stocks are part of the show on the 13th. There's lots of optimism at Orland Raceway, and more people are coming out to see what the excitement is all about.

Big things are happening at Coos Bay Speedway. It doesn't get any bigger than Rolling Thunder Big Rigs. According to the track, there will be nine of them on hand this Saturday night. We've looked for information on the group and haven't found a lot. The footage online is definitely impressive. The only thing you might compare it to is Monster Trucks, only these trucks go around in circles and race. They will certainly put on a show this Saturday night.

The ISCS Sprint Cars will wrap up their season at Coos Bay on the 29th. A field somewhere in the 20 car bracket is expected, which will give the fans a nice show. Late Models will not be a part of that program, but they will be there on October 6th. Chuck Prather and family have been putting on the big season-ender for several years, and the Lucas Oil Open Show will pay $1,200 to the Late Model winner. It's expected that drivers will come in from various other tracks, including Willamette. There's also a $500 to win Street Stock show. Last season, both divisions performed very well. Sportsman Late Models, Hornets and Mini Outlaws will also be racing for an increased purse as the track wraps up the season.

The other thing of note is the championship point fund monies being offered by the NASCAR Whelen All American Series this year. Coos Bay is the only taker in Oregon, which means the drivers are also competing for State championship money. When people talk about who is offering the Late Model division the most, you can't ignore Coos Bay Speedway. Brody Montgomery won $1,000 last season for his Sportsman Late Model championship. With nine feature victories this year, he is the Super Late Model champion. The track is paying $3,500 for that championship, and he'll also pocket $2,000 for the State. Thor  Kristensen can't be too disappointed with his second place season. He will win $2,000 for the track portion and another $1,000 for the State. Other tracks might be curious about this NASCAR thing in the future and what it can offer their racers.

The NASCAR Division 2 ranking goes to the Sportsman Late Models, and in this case Dyllan Siewell will take a $1,000 payday for his track championship. Wayne Butler will get $800 for second. Division 3 goes to the Street Stocks and Ken Fox will get $700 for his championship. Second place David Smith gets $400. Even the Hornets division gets in on the action as Division 4. Rookie Tyler Tullos will win $500 his championship, while April Warmack will win $325 for second.

All totaled between the four divisions, there's $15,000 in point fund money divided amongst the Top 5 drivers. One of the key selling points of having a sanctioning body is the point fund money you get at the end in the season. It is hard to find anybody doing it better than NASCAR. There's also $3,500 on the line for the top three drivers in the State of Oregon. Coos Bay is the only player as the only NASCAR track, so the money goes all to them. In the event that a second track were to join NASCAR, the State money would double to $7,000. The question is, are there any takers?
