Late Models, Sprint Cars Headline Six Division Show
At Southern Oregon Speedway
White City, Oregon...Saturday night marks the beginning of July, and Southern Oregon Speedway has an exciting six division program to kick off the month. The track's two fastest divisions will be represented with the Late Models and Kendall Oil Winged Sprint Cars. Also competing will be the Mini Stocks, Pro Stocks, JOAT Labs Hornets and OTRO Hardtops. It's going to be an action packed night of racing.
The Late Models brought the excitement last time as Dustin Knight and Nathan Augustine had a battle that brought the crowd on their feet on the final lap. Knight made a dramatic last turn pass on Augustine and left the track that night with a Main Event victory. Knight may very well have the fastest car on the track, but his speed presented a further challenge to him in the season opener. "The car is so hooked up that I sometimes have a hard time judging how fast I come up on slower cars, " said Dustin, who lost that first race to Augustine in traffic. "I just misjudged where they would be, and he got me."
Augustine and Knight are the early stars of the season, and both are champions. Knight indicated that the Rapp Racing Team may field another Late Model before season's end with IMCA Sport Mod star Rich McCoy behind the wheel. Mike Linder returned in the most race and battled reigning champion Bob Dees for a third place finish. These two are anticipated this week along with Kristy Grout, Garrett Dees, Dave Foote and Don Garrett Jr.
The Kendall Oil Winged Sprints begin a busy month with three races scheduled. We've now had three different winners this year with Jake Waddell, point leader Kyler Barraza and Bailey Hibbard. The 16 year old Hibbard impressed with his win ahead of father David Hibbard last time out. The youth movement is in effect this year as second ranked Merrisa Henson and Enrique Jaime are both still in their teens, and word is that we will see another young racer this week.
After his 500 Open Kart win last week, Tanner Holmes indicated that he hopes to make his Sprint Car debut this week. Tanner has been burning up the Outlaw Kart circuit since he was very young, and he has won many championships along the way. He's won two 250 Kart championships at Southern Oregon, and he won the highly competitive Red Bluff Winter Series for the 250's this past offseason. Tanner will be a welcome addition to the roster.
Motor problems have plagued Mini Stock point leader David Steele and 2013 champion Steve Goetz in recent weeks. Steele's most recent two trips to Yreka ended after the Trophy Dash, and he merely took a green flag in the most recent Medford race in an effort to get points. Had he not done that, he would have surrendered the point lead to Dillen Lausen. As it is, it's a close three car battle between Steele, Lausen and Kristopher Mix. Lausen and Mix have both finished as high as second as they pursue their first wins.
Gary Anderson was back in the winner's circle last time out as he finally got his carburetor and fuel issues sorted out. Since 2014, only five drivers have won Main Events in this class. Anderson and Steele are the only two regular competitors from that group still competing this year, though we may see reigning champion Bob Burkett this week. This leaves a group of drivers scrambling for their first wins, led by Andrew Hall, Patrick Stringer-Stine and Michael Johnson. The 15 year old Johnson seems poised to win if he can do a better job of getting through Turn 2 this week.
After two starts this year, Coos Bay's Josh Kralicek is the Pro Stock point leader. Josh impressed with his Trophy Dash win last time out. Kralicek and opening night winner Derrel Nelson Jr. are leading the championship charge, but two time champion Ken Irving gained ground with his third place finish last time out. Tom Hackworth, Dan Randall and Miles Deubert are other drivers to watch for this week.
Between JOAT Labs building the cages and the Hedges Racing Team fielding four cars, the Hornets class is the fastest growing class at the track. The division is a nice stepping stone for new drivers to enter the world of dirt track racing. Several new cars are being built, and a field of ten or more cars is anticipated this week. The flying Joby Shields and David Coggins are the two feature winners so far, and drivers who will be leading the charge to be the next new winner include reigning champion Jason Stoutenburg, Tim Hedges, Jenna Hedges and Ashton Hedges.
The old Time Racers of Oregon Hardtops are back for their third appearance this week, and Mark Minter leads the charge with two wins in two starts. Stock Car veteran Bruce Wilkerson took the wheel of the Vic & Louise Bridges Sedan last time out and battled Jamie Britton for a second place finish. Joining these three should be the two Trophy Dash winners so far, Jimmy Del Castille and Brian Crouch, as well as Dusty Trotter, Bill Trotter and Dean Cast.
Saturday's lineup should provide plenty of excitement for the fans to enjoy. Gates open at 5:00 PM with the Trophy Dashes lining up at 7:00 PM. General Admission is $12.00, Seniors, Juniors and Military are $6.00 and children 5 and under are free. For further information, go to www.southernoregonspeedway.com.
Pit Stops
IMCA Modified Speedweek came to Southern Oregon Speedway at the same time as the 105 degree weather last Saturday night. There were 19 competitors coming in from various places along with eight racers from the Medford area. This was a little under half the total of locals anticipated, causing the drop from last year's car count. A couple of drivers commented that they didn't think they could compete against the hard chargers coming in from various places. When you have drivers like Collen Winebarger, John Campos, Ethan Dotson, Randy Brown, Danny Lauer and three time series champion Jesse Williamson among the field, it can be a little intimidating.
Albert Gill, Mark Wauge, Nick Trenchard, Preston Jones and James Welshonse made the Main Event. Welshonse has been off to a rough start after his "Rookie Of The Year" season, but he punched his ticket into the Main Event after an impressive heat race win in front of Dotson. Wauge was also a heat race winner. Welshonse did take a lead lap checkered flag in 13th. Wauge, meanwhile, was in the thick of the battle. The seven time track champion was as high as second before settling for fourth in front of Trenchard. After winning a night earlier in Yreka, Trenchard had to win the B Main ahead of Jones to get into the show.
It's not surprising to see that Wauge excelled in the big show and had a strong points night. He moved to within a couple of points of Jesse Bailey for second in the track's standings. After three straight third place finishes, Bailey wasn't there. Meanwhile, point leader Gill continues to challenge himself, and he was on the move and running as high as sixth in the Main Event. Unfortunately, Albert got caught up in a late tangle and had to settle for a disappointing 12th place finish. He still leads the way in the standings, and he will be tough to beat as he battles for his first win of the season on July 22nd.
Danny Lauer is a multi time IMCA Modified champion of Santa Maria Speedway. The Lauer family has been racing there for years, including Bill Lauer in a Late Model in the 1980's and 1990's. Danny grabbed the Main Event lead early on, but Bakersfield Speedway point leader Dotson was right behind him. Dotson actually bailed on the point lead at his home track to compete in the series. Unfortunately, a flat tire derailed his bid for a win. Oregon State point leader John Campos took up the chase and finished a close second to the happy Lauer. The man making a strong statement early in the series is Winebarger, who finished third.
As of this writing, Winebarger leads the series after five races. Trenchard, Lauer, Dotson, Campos and Williamson made it five different winners in the first five races, and the consistent Winebarger leads Dotson in the series championship battle. They close the series with three straight races at Willamette Speedway, and an up to the moment update finds Dotson winning the Thursday night show to become the first two time winner this year. With Williamson also having a good night, the points will get that much closer between Winebarger, Dotson and Williamson.
The IMCA Sport Modifieds brought 18 competitors for what would be Round #2 of their own six race Speedweek Series. That series was put together by PSM Series director Steve Kerstulovich. After winning at Yreka, Jorddon Braaten went flag to flag in the Main Event at his home track. Jorddon also won the Trophy Dash and his heat race. The Main Event went non stop, which isn't seen often in this class. However, the reigning Oregon State champion Braaten won with California State champion Brian Cooper nipping at his heels in traffic. Braaten's night took a turn for the worse in post race tech with a disqualification. Braaten had already taken himself out of the the track point battle as he missed the previous race to attend his sister's wedding, but this ended his bid for a Speedweek title. All sorts of negative comments and accusations have been levied at the Braaten team, but anybody who knows them knows that they are all about supporting the sport and their home track. They are respected among their fellow competitors.
The Cooper team may have things in hand now. Brian Cooper emerged with the win after Medford and won impressively at Sunset Speedway on Wednesday. At the moment, the podium in Speedweek points is occupied by Brian, brother Todd Cooper and Jimmy Ford, who is piloting the Marty Burdine car. These three teams have come from Yuba City, California to support the Oregon Sport Mod effort. Of course, when it comes to Sport Mod support, you know Mike Medel will be there, and Justin McCreadie, Braxton Possinger and Oregon State point leader Jayson Nelson have also backed the Speedweek Series. Sponsorship has led to a point fund for the Top 5 drivers and Top 3 trophies. It will only grow from there. Getting back to Nelson, what is interesting to note is that he has taken an interest in running for Oregon State points in a bid to end the Braaten-Medel reign. Willamette and their decision to add two sanctioned races to a Monster Truck show on short notice contributed to Nelson taking the State point lead as both Medel and Braaten were in Yreka for a big race.
In the track point race, Medel's effort was derailed when he ended up last in the Main Event. However, Willie McFall didn't capitalize on that too much after he ended up 11th. Meanwhile, Rich McCoy is hitting his stride. He followed up on his second place finish in the previous race by finishing third Saturday night, and he is closing in fast on Medel and McFall as a result. McCoy hasn't done much racing for points since winning his Mini Stock championship, but he's certainly won his share of races. After a bad start left him crashed out of the season opener in hot laps, McCoy is steadily on the move up the point ladder.
It's also noteworthy that two time division champion Dwayne Melvin has now made three straight races and has been looking good so far. Melvin held off Jimmy Ford for a fourth place finish last week. Like McCoy, you could be seeing Melvin in the winner's circle some time soon. David Marble has had a tough start to his season. The 2016 "Rookie Of The Year" totaled a car in Cottage Grove and followed that up with a crash in the Crack The Whip Challenge on June 3rd. David wasn't planning to race last week. After arriving late and missing his heat race, he took a checkered flag in tenth. Not too bad considering his late start.
We finally saw the welcome return of Dwarf Car ace Kalvin Morton last week. Morton was making his first Sport Mod start of the year in the #18 car. He's still dialing the bugs out of it, but he finished the race in 14th, right behind Jesse Merriman and just ahead of Tony Bartell. You can expect that as Morton gets his car dialed in, he will be a threat at the front of the pack. Last year was certainly a year of excitement for Morton in Dwarf Cars. He won several races on the circuit before finishing third in points. He also won his first Sport Mod feature in Yreka. He's still pretty much a rookie in this division.
Dwarf Car drivers had a lot on the line when SODCA returned for their third appearance of the season. Dwarf Car supporter Jim Nelson offered up $1000 to win and $50 for each lap led. At the moment, the three biggest stars in the field are Brock Peters, Camden Robustelli and Cody Peters. B. Peters and Robustelli have each won twice. Though C. Peters hasn't won yet, he's been finishing strong and most observers agree that his win could happen at any time. Robustelli has made the commitment to race for points again after back to back runnerup seasons. He really wants this championship, and for 16 laps, he led the way last week. Working lap 17, Robustelli suddenly lost power as a sure victory slipped away.
Luck plays a part in racing. When you're on a roll, things have a way of working out. B. Peters won his heat race and the A Dash, and he was riding along in second when misfortune struck Robustelli. Brock led the final four tours of the Jim Rogers prepared oval and collected the big prize. Moments after talking the checkered flag, his car lost power. Son Cody was there for another second place finish. We've yet to see a SODCA point sheet, but these three drivers will likely be ranked at the top as the group heads for a two day WSDCA Regional event in Coos Bay this weekend.
Moments after the Robustelli misfortune, Top 5 contenders Ryan Smith and Rob Gergel tangled for a yellow flag. Both drivers were able to restart at the back, but it was Chad Cardoza finishing third. The rapidly improving Randy Slater had fourth until Gergel's last turn pass gained him the position. We talk about the possibility of C. Peters getting his first win, but we might have to keep an eye on Slater. Modified racer Steve Walker made made his first Dwarf Car start and finished a lead lap seventh. This division keeps getting more competitive, and you can bet there will be some more different winners in the weeks ahead.
Outlaw Karts were back on the track Friday night as their season finally opened. Though car count wasn't quite up to where it might have been hoped, there were enough competitors to put on a show for the fans. The best news of the night may have been the eight Beginners Box Stock drivers competing. These youngsters are the future of the track, and they also had their most competitive race of the last year and a half.
Jacob James was fifth in points last year and third the year before. He was a feature winner last season, and he had an exciting night last week. After winning his heat race, he had a brush with the front wall in his next heat. He took a checkered flag in that race and came back for another Main Event win. Jacob is leaving little doubt that he will be ready when the time comes to move up to Box Stocks. A pair of Cottage Grove competitors, Keegan Bounds and Steven Bounds, battled newcomer Uriah Sanders for second in the Main Event. K. Bounds won his two heat races and managed to hold off his two closest rivals for a strong second place finish. S. Bounds settled for third with Sanders a lead lap fourth.
Carson Crisp won his first heat race at the track, and he followed that up with a fifth in the Main Event. The race didn't go so well for Malachi Johnson, who blew his motor in the Main Event. Silas Holden and Shailene Horn both took checkered flags in the Main Event and did a good job. Horn was second in points last season and a Main Event winner.
The Box Stock turnout was a bit light, and it appears as if reigning champion Trevor Grimes is ready to move on to the challenge of racing a 250 Kart. Trevor has long since shown his ability in this class, and he dominated the action in winning both heat races and the Main Event. Keaton Augustine and Sophia Bauer battled for second all night and each had a second in a heat race. Augustine held Bauer off for the second place Main Event finish.
Bodee Weiser may be the reigning 250 Kart champion, but it was brother Braden Weiser getting off to a good start in winning the second heat. Carley Holmes gave a preview of things to come with a heat race win of her own. The 2014 Box Stock champion, C. Holmes got the Main Event lead early on and drove a flawless race in collecting her first win in this division at her home track. Braden Weiser had one of his best finishes in this class in second, followed by brother Bodee, who was back behind the wheel of the "General Lee" #01 car. Grimes took a checkered flag in fourth, while past Beginners Box Stock champion Cadyn Smith DNF'ed in fifth. Cadyn wasn't running his number or colors in his newly purchased car, but the goal was to get him out there for the first time as he has also just moved up to this division.
Tanner Holmes is on the brink of his Sprint Car debut on the bigger track, but he brought out his 500 Open Kart to shake off the cob webs. It had been a about a month since his last race. Tanner is a two time 250 Kart champion at the track and won the Red Bluff Winter Series for that class this year. Once he got the lead, he led to the checkered flag as Kevin Hilgendorf and past champion Stephanie Crisp rounded out the finishing order.
Car count was down just a bit, but the racing conditions were good once the track was brought in. On July 7th, Kart racing returns, and it should be another good show with more Karts in action.
Dwarf Cars Set To Invade Coos Bay Speedway,
Modified Gambler Thrills Crowd
Coos Bay, CA...It's an exciting time for Coos Bay Speedway. Promoter Drake Nelson has given the fans some NASCAR excitement this year. A big Dwarf Car double header is on tap for this Friday and Saturday night and Sprint Car Speedweek is on the horizon on July 11th. That's just three days after the thrilling Eve Of Destruction. Joining Dwarf Cars this Friday and Saturday will be the NASCAR Sportsman Late Models, Street Stocks, Mini Outlaws, Hornets and Humboldt Motorsports Side By Sides. On Tuesday night, Nelson rolled the dice and gambled on a special $1,500 to win Modified show on the off night of Speedweek.
The results of the Modified Gambler were a mixed bag. Car count was a little less than hoped, but the racing had the crowd on their feet at the end. The lead duo of Justin Duty and Collen Winebarger were glued to the bottom of the track and battling fiercely for the lead through heavy traffic. As they raced past the white flag, Duty left the door open enough for Winebarger to drive by for the lead. In Turn 2, contact from Duty sent Winebarger sideways and into the infield. Duty sped to the $1,500 checkered flag as Winebarger settled for a $600 second. "Sir" Lawrence O'Connor was a lead lap third, followed by Ryan Baker, Tyler Smith, Joey Price, Preston Luckman, Kevin Williamson, Jayson Nelson and Danny Lauer. Price, Duty, Lauer and Winebarger were 12 lap heat race winners, while Winebarger also won the five lap Trophy Dash.
In an exciting 25 lap Hornets Main Event, Bradon Fugate wrapped up a clean sweep with the Main Event victory. Reigning champion Jeremiah Reiber had just gained the lead on lap eight, only to surrender it to Fugate's inside Turn 3 pass a lap later. Fugate had Reiber and Tom Williams following closely from there to the checkered flag. A rare DNF for point leader Ryan Siewell offered "Hurricane" Hannah Robison the chance to gain some ground in the standings as she finished fourth, followed by Jeff Thurman, Sam Taylor, Toby McIntyre, April Warmack, Patrick Nagel and Siewell. Fugate also won the five lap Trophy Dash and his 12 lap heat race as Siewell won the other heat.
Ken Fox grabbed another 25 lap Mini Outlaws Main Event victory. In fact, it was a clean sweep of five lap Trophy Dash and 12 lap heat race. The point race broke wide open as Rob Lauver blew a motor at Cottage Grove and missed this race, while Dan Daniels was a Main Event scratch. This opened the door for Sam Talon to stretch his point lead. Talon ran in the back early on before making his move to a distant second behind the flying Fox. Alyssa Johnson, Wayne Butler and Jason Kallam rounded out the finish.
The track is excited to be hosting the WSDCA Dwarf Car Regionals, which will feature competitors from SODCA and NWDCA along with some racers from the NCDCA and SBDCA groups in California and others as well. The most recent show at Coos Bay had a car count well into the 20's, and projections are that it could reach into the 50's and will likely at least be in the 40's. NCDCA generally supports these events heavily, and the group has the strongest car count anywhere on the West Coast with stars such as Ryan "Ice Chip" Winter, Buddy Olschowka and Shawn Jones among their ranks. SODCA is sure to have heavy support from stars like Brock Peters, Camden Robustelli, Cody Peters, Rob Gergel, Chad Cardoza and "Fast" Freddie Hay. For Dwarf Cars alone, it will be a great show.
The Dwarf Cars won't be alone as the Sportsman Late Models lead the NASCAR classes into the weekend. Brody Montgomery is like the Energizer Bunny. He keeps on winning and winning. Making those wins even more impressive is the fact that two time reigning champion Wayne Butler keeps chasing him in second. In fact, Montgomery still only has a four point lead in the $1,000 championship battle, despite the fact that he also leads Butler in the win column, 6-2. He has to be wondering what he has to do to shake him off his tail. One time winner Dyllan Siewell is also still in the hunt, 30 points back in third. These three competitors should be joined by such hard chargers as Charlie Withers, Jeff Krossman and Troy Chamberlain.
The Street Stocks seem to be gathering a little momentum. They produced six cars, and five time winner and runaway point leader Justin Krossman is finding the competition to be just a bit tougher. Third ranked Jeff Thurman won the most recent race to join three time winner Steve Dubisar in the win column. Reigning champion Daniel Land ran strong last time and could be due for a victory. Other racers to watch for include Ken Fox, Dustin Hitner and Josh Bearedin.
It was clarified this week that five time winner Rob Lauver has been the only driver of the fast #52 VW Beetle. Unfortunately, that car was missing last Saturday and blew a motor on Monday at Cottage Grove. With Lauver out of the picture and Dan Daniels scratched from Tuesday's feature, three time winner Sam Talon now holds a commanding lead in the Mini Outlaws championship battle. Daniels leads Lauver by six points and Ken Fox by 16 in a much closer battle for second. Fox won Tuesday and actually won a Main Event on double Main Event night that's not showing up on the stats as a win. He's also a double division racer as one of the Street Stock competitors. Other divers to watch this week include hard charger Jason Kallam, Alyssa Johnson, John Henry and Jamie Daniels.
Ryan Siewell has been on a such a roll this year as a six time Hornets feature winner that he could absorb a DNF on Tuesday night. Siewell's misfortune allowed Hannah Robison to gain a little ground, but she's still trailing Siewell by 58 points. Only four points behind her in third is Sam Taylor. Both Taylor and Robison have looked good this year and seem poised for a feature win. Reigning champion Jeremiah Reiber's back to back bad nights earlier this year have him trailing Robison by 36 points in the battle for second. These four competitors are anticipated this weekend along with one time winner Tom Williams, Jeremy Beard, April Warmack and Patrick Nagel. Warmack looked good in preliminaries last Saturday, but a blown motor left her team scrambling to get a motor for her on Tuesday.
The Friday-Saturday Dwarf Car Regionals, combined with some NASCAR Stock Car racing, should be another great night of racing. For further information, go to www.coosbayspeedway.us.
Fourth Of July Racing And Fireworks At Siskiyou Speedway
Yreka, CA...We're in the midst of an exciting stretch of racing at Siskiyou Motor Speedway. Fresh off of the successful Speedweek event, racing returns on July 4th with a full lineup of IMCA Sport Modifieds, McDonald's Mini Stocks, Outlaw Pro Stocks, SODCA Dwarf Cars and IMCA Modifieds. The Tuesday night race also includes a big fireworks show. These same five divisions are also scheduled for Saturday, July 15th. In between that, there's the Sprint Car Speedweek race scheduled for Monday, July 10th, IMCA Sport Modifieds will support that show as well. July will be a great month of racing in Yreka, and you shouldn't forget the youngsters competing this Friday night on the Outlaw Kart track.
The IMCA Sport Modifieds have been the stars of the show this year, and that shouldn't change for the July 4th race. With two wins each, Justin Foux leads young D.J. Bottoms in the IMCA point race. Foux got off to a slightly better start, and that's been the difference so far. We're already ten races into the season. The six feature winners so far also includes two time winners Jorddon Braaten and Justin McCreadie as well as Keith Brown Jr. and Cory Biggs. Braaten is coming off of a win in the Sport Mod portion of the recent Speedweek event.
Still searching for his first feature win of the season is Colton Cheffey. Cheffey has two seconds and two dash wins, but his season has been marred by some mechanical issues and a crash as well. Cheffey is in a close battle with Randy Wright and Biggs for third in points. Colton has been fast this year, and he could strike for a feature win at any time. Other drivers to watch this week include, reigning champion Jimmy Lipke, Colter Boswell, Ryder Boswell and Justin McCreadie.
They may have to put a bounty on the #7 truck of Ethan Killingsworth. Last time out, he won his third straight McDonald's Mini Stock Main Event of the season. Killingsworth is still trying to recover from bad luck at the Mike Caveye Memorial Race, but he's on the move. At the top of the point list is reigning champion Marilyn Yawnick. Marilyn has been very consistent this season with three seconds and three thirds, but she's still in search of her first feature win. Two other Top 5 competitors, Mike Whitaker and Terry Kendrick, have each won a Main Event this season, while Mike Frost is still looking for his first win.
Meanwhile, 2015 champion David Steele has encountered motor problems in his last two visits to the speedway. The 2015 champion won the first two races and is competing for the Medford championship. However, he enjoys racing in Yreka and should be back to see if he has his motor problems sorted out. Other drivers to watch for this week include Amber Waldon, Mike Colson, Garrett Fredrickson and Guy Morris.
If there is a driver that needs a bounty placed on him, it's Outlaw Pro Stock point leader Dr. Scott Lenz. Lenz is dominating the group with wins in all five point races so far. Jeffrey Hudson or a Flowers family member has taken turns chasing the good doctor. 2015 champion Hudson has driven the Scott Bennett car to three seconds and a win in the special Billy Geyer Memorial race, which was for big money but not points. Second ranked Scott Flowers and son James Flowers each have one second. The steady Johnny Cobb currently ranks third and has one third place finish as his season best so far. These hard chargers are anticipated this week along with Julia Flowers, Matt Harlow, Brian Hammond, Roy Bain and Jeff Haudenshild.
The SODCA Dwarf Cars are back for their second of three scheduled Yreka races. Last time out, it was two time champion Josh King winning the season opener in April. Since then, the two big stars of the group have been reigning champion Brock Peters and Camden Robustelli. Both have two feature wins, and Peters won the $1,000 prize in Medford last week. Chasing Brock in his two wins has been his son Cody Peters, who is knocking on the door to his first victory. Joining these hard chargers this week should be tough competitors like Randy Slater, Chad Cardoza, Rob Gergel and Fred Hay.
The IMCA Modified point battle is now officially a race following the Speedweek show. That was the fourth officially completed point race this year. It's likely that the Rod Restad Memorial in late September will be another big show, but it's a little questionable as to what races might happen between now and then. Who will show up? With three wins in four starts, 2015 champion Nick Trenchard holds a 20 point lead over reigning champion Albert Gill and Kyle Casson. If the Restad race is the only other point race that happens this year, Trenchard will be tough to beat. If more races happen, it's very possible that he won't be at some of those races. The July 4th race could attract some competitors, but who is the question. It's possible that Gill, James Welshonse, past champion Lenny Toolanen and Duane Orsburn would be willing to race. However, we'll have to wait and see who shows up on race day.
This Friday, the Outlaw Karts hold their third race of the season. "Crash" Bob Fredrickson has come on board as head official, which is a post he held previously in Medford. Kart count is improving as more new drivers join the excitement, and this is a trend that is expected to continue. The 500 Open Karts and Speedway Karts are at the top of the ladder, but the 250 Karts, Box Stocks and Beginners Box Stocks also put on a great show.
On Tuesday, the Fourth Of July show will be entertaining from start to finish. With a top notch fireworks display and five divisions on the schedule, this will be a night the whole family can enjoy. For further information, go to www.siskiyoumotorspeedway.com.
