Sanders Sixth different Sport Modified Winner
At Siskiyou Motor Speedway
Yreka, CA...June 9...Matt Sanders won the $500 first prize in the 20 lap IMCA Sport Modified Main Event Saturday night at Siskiyou Motor Speedway. Sanders started in the second row and gained second on a lap 3 restart. Championship hopeful Ryder Boswell led through numerous caution flags in the first six laps. On the third restart attempt on lap 7, Boswell pulled up on the outside groove in Turn 2 with a flat tire as Sanders raced by. Braxton Possinger quickly settled into second and gave Sanders plenty of pressure down the stretch. Possinger moved by on the inside in Turn 3 on the final lap, but Sanders used the outside groove to carry his momentum from Turn 4 to the checkered flag in victory. Justin McCreadie was a strong third ahead of Randy Wright, Jimmy Lipke, Doug Franklin, Trevor Tiffee, Boswell, Daniel Ray and Isaac Sanders. Ray picked up the $100 bill offered by Bottoms Racing for winning the four lap Trophy Dash. McCreadie and Matt Sanders each won eight lap heat races.
Marilyn Yawnick helped her bid to become a three-time champion as she won her second 20 lap Mini Stock Main Event. Yawnick won a good battle with Terry Kendrick as Mike Whitaker was a close third. Mike McLeod, Jason Frost, Zac McMurray and Tiffany Cobb followed at the finish. Whitaker won the eight lap heat race and picked up a $100 bill for his four lap trophy Dash victory. Both wins came after good battles with Yawnick.
Bottoms Racing also offered a $50 cash prize to the winner of the Jefferson State Jalopy Association Trophy Dash, and Josh Bernstein followed up his exhibition victory of a week earlier with his win in the dash. All four cars competed with Karl Bernstein, JJ Smith and Mark Super behind the wheel of each car.
A half a dozen of the young stars of The Outlaw Kart program staged a little exhibition. The field included Josh Smith, Cale Cunial and Cole Cunial.
Next weekend, there will be an Outlaw Kart program on the smaller track on Friday night. On Saturday night, the Calculated Comfort Outlaw Pro Stocks are back along with the IMCA Sport Modifieds, Mini Stocks and the first appearance of the Outlaw Open Comp class.

Monster Truck Insanity Tour Entertains
Southern Oregon Speedway Fans
White City, Oregon...June 9...The rain may have fallen, but it failed to put a damper on the biggest Southern Oregon Speedway crowd in years Saturday night. The big occasion was the first ever visit by the Malicious Monster Truck Insanity Tour.
They brought five of these 10,000 pound beasts to run on a specially prepared course with jumps spaced throughout. Perhaps the most popular vehicle in the group was Rock Star, piloted by Bill and Laura Payne. Bill drives it, while his wife Laura operates controls that handle the rear steering and throttle.
Other competitors in the field were Willie Crash piloting the California Kid entry, Ezra Wilson in Identity Theft, Dwight Matthews in Beast Mode and Nick Jones in Pound Hound. The drivers staged best trick, qualifying, match race and free style competitions. The crowd was entertained, and the kids were able to get free rides in the two Monster Trucks that were equipped with extra seats.
The crowd was delighted by the freestyle competition. The Payne's brought Rock Star out as the final truck on the track and did a wheelie the length of the course. They followed it up with two of the longest jumps of the night. Running as hard as they did, their motor caught on fire as they finished their crowd pleasing run.
Rock Star came out as the last competitor in the best trick competition. California Kid had earned a 24, based on 1-10 scores from three judges. Rock Star had just one more trick up their sleeves to earn a 26. Identity Theft clocked in at 24.02 in the qualifying effort. Rock Star was quicker, but they hit a cone on the course and were penalized five seconds.
After the newest member of the group, Major Payne, came out and tore things up to the roaring of the crowd, it was time for the match races. Identity Theft beat Beast Mode in the first match race. Rock Star beat Pound Hound. This set up a match between Pound Hound and Beast Mode for third, won by Pound Hound. Rock Star won a good battle with Identity Theft to win the match race competition.
The crowd was delighted by the freestyle round. California Kid caught some good air on the jumps to set the early best score at 26 points. Pound Hound was hurting from the match races, but Jones gave it a go before his truck gave up on him right as Rock Star entered the track. The Payne's did a wheelie the length of the course. They followed it up with two of the longest jumps of the night. Running as hard as they did, their motor caught on fire as they finished their crowd pleasing run.
Racing returns next week with the Kendall Oil Winged Sprint Cars, IMCA Modifieds, IMCA Sport Modifieds, Valley Stor-All Late Model Lites, Bobbio's Pizza Mini Stocks and OTRO Hardtops. For further information, go to www.southernoregonspeedway.com.

Johnson stayed with him and moved around him on the outside in Turn 3 two laps later. Johnson led the rest of the way, and Horn made a late move into second. Sanders settled for third, followed by Carson Henson and Jayme DeBenedetti.
Larry Fuller won the UAS Speedway Kart heat race and requested a last starting spot for the Main Event.

Larry Fuller was already in second by then, and contact in the lead battle saw Brown spinning into the infield as Fuller emerged with the lead. Fuller slowed and was passed by Johnny Hoult on lap 7.
