Winebarger Wins Second Round Of IMCA Modified Wild West Speedweek Tour At Southern Oregon Speedway
White City, Oregon...June 23...Collen Winebarger scored the victory in the 35 lap IMCA Modified Main Event Saturday night at Southern Oregon Speedway. This was the second event of the IMCA Wild West Speedweek Tour, which takes the group to six different race tracks for eight races in a nine-day span. Winebarger jumped out to the lead at the start and held off some late pressure from 2017 Speedweek Tour runner-up Ethan Dotson for the $1,000 victory.
The Main Event had to be restarted after a Turn 2 crash. Winebarger raced into the lead on the restart ahead of Grey Fernando and Carl Berendsen II. John Campos made a Turn 4 pass on Berendsen for third on lap two before a caution flag flew for Preston Jones in Turn 4. Winebarger continued to lead Fernando and Campos on the restart as Bricen James and 2017 Southern Oregon Speedway Speedweek race winner Danny Lauer were running in the Top 5 early. A lap 4 caution flag flew for a backstretch tangle, and another caution flag flew a round later for Richard Papenhausen and DJ Shannon in Turn 2. Winebarger led Fernando on the restart as James and Curtis Towns both got past Campos for third and fourth. Dotson made his first appearance in the Top 5 on lap seven, and a caution flag flew for Harley Turner on lap 11. Winebarger led the restart, and Dotson made a big inside move in Turn 2 take second away from Fernando. The final caution flag flew on lap 17 for a tangle involving Mark Wauge and Berendsen. Winebarger led Dotson and Fernando on the restart with Darrell Hughes II settling into fourth. The rest of the race went caution free, and Dotson kept it close with Winebarger. However, Winebarger was not to be denied as he brought it home to a satisfying victory, followed by Dotson, Fernando, Hughes, James, Campos, Lauer, Nick Trenchard, reigning Tour champion Jesse Williamson and Towns.
The Wild West Speedweek Tour runs a formula that calls for two sets of eight lap heat races for each driver with the top eight point earners then going into a redraw for the Main Event lineup. The rest of the field battles their way through two 15 lap B Mains. Trenchard was the only driver to win both of his heat races as Lauer, Berendsen, Wauge, Winebarger, Dotson, Williamson, Campos and James each won a heat race. With 37 cars competing, they ran two 15 lap B Mains, and Lauer won the first one in a close race with Towns as CJ Putnam, DJ Shannon and Aaron Sheeler also made the transfer. Hughes won the second B Main by a wide margin ahead of Papenhausen, Tim Balding, Jones and final transfer Mark Gaylord. The IMCA Modifieds return for their first of two July races on July 7th.

Morton Grabs First SODCA Dwarf Car Feature Win
At Southern Oregon Speedway
White City, Oregon...June 23...Kalvin Morton reminded his fellow competitors that he is a driver to be reckoned with in the Southern Oregon Dwarf Car group as he won his first 20 lap Dwarf Car Main Event at Southern Oregon Speedway. Morton made a charge during the final seven laps that earned him an impressive victory.
Chad Cardoza set the early pace ahead of Josh King and Cody Peters. An inside pass in Turn 4 of the seventh lap put Peters into second, but King regained the position a lap later. It was Brock Peters charging past son Cody for the third position on lap nine, but the two Peters cars and Morton shuffled King back to fifth before a caution flag flew moments later. Cardoza continued to lead Brock Peters on the restart as Morton charged into third. A high pass in Turn 2 of the 14th lap gained Brock Peters the lead from Cardoza, and it was Morton making an outside pass in Turn 4 a lap later for second. The caution flag flew for Mark Nielson on lap 15. On the restart, Morton put the pressure on Brock Peters and made an inside pass down the backstretch to gain the lead. Cody Peters moved past his father with an inside pass in Turn 2 of the 18th lap, but nobody had anything for the flying Morton down the stretch. Cody Peters settled for second, followed by Brock Peters, Cardoza, Randy Slater, Fred Hay, Kaycee Sheeler, Jesse Lorenz, Joe Sanders and Bud Lorenz.
Third generation generation racer Brett James jumped into the Jerry Hauck car and won a six lap heat race along with fellow winners Morton and Brock Peters.

Boynton Battles Teammate Tritchler For First
JOAT Labs Hornets Win At Southern Oregon Speedway
White City, Oregon...June 23...Making a late move around teammate Bree Tritchler, Chris Boynton won his first career 15 lap JOAT Labs Hornets Main Event Saturday night at Southern Oregon Speedway. Tritchler had done an excellent job of leading the first 10 laps after winning her heat race earlier in the evening, and she settled for second ahead of a trio of Hedges family members.
Tritchler and Tim Hedges won the six lap heat races to grab front row starts for the Main Event, but there were tricky track conditions as the track had been watered during intermission while the IMCA Modified group was doing the redraw in front of the grandstands for their Main Event lineup. The race had to be restarted when reigning champion Jason Stoutenburgh spun. Tritchler led the restart ahead of Jenna Hedges and Ashtin Hedges. Tim Hedges was involved in a turn 2 tangle with Dylan Irving for another caution flag, and Tritchler continued to lead Jenna Hedges and Ashtin Hedges on the restart. Boynton moved past Ashtin Hedges for third on lap three and gained second from Jenna Hedges on lap 5. Moments later, a caution flag flew for David Miller. Tritchler continued to lead the way on the restart. Boynton was putting the pressure on Tritchler, and he used a low pass in Turn 4 of the 11th lap to take over. Tritchler kept the pressure on Boynton down the stretch, but Boynton would not relinquish the lead. Ashtin Hedges settled for third, followed by Jenna Hedges, Tim Hedges, Derrel Nelson Jr, Brandon Wonsyld, Zach Nelson, David Miller and Stoutenburgh.

On Sunday, it was Grey Ferrando picking up a $1,000 victory in the IMCA Modified Wild West Speedweek 35 lap Main Event. Fernando had a front-row start and charged out to the lead, but he had a very scary moment during the first 10 laps when he caught slower traffic and had to thread the needle between two cars. In the later stages, Ethan Dotson attempted to put some pressure on the flying Fernando, but it was Fernando prevailing ahead of Dotson at the checkered flag. Dustin Cady held off reigning series champion Jesse Williamson and Collen Winebarger to finish third.

Johnson, Bolles Use Last Lap Passes For Victory
At Little Southern Oregon Speedway
At Little Southern Oregon Speedway
White
City, Oregon...June 22...Reigning champion Malachi Johnson made a
last-lap pass to score the victory in the 12 lap Beginners Box Stock
Main Event Friday night at little Southern Oregon Speedway. Johnson is
the reigning Beginners Box Stock champion. Carson Henson was debuting a
new kart, and the reigning Yreka Indoor Outlaw Kart champion set the
early pace running on the bottom groove. Johnson ran closely behind and
kept taking looks to the outside, while Mike Wheeler Jr ran strong on
the inside looking to make the pass on Johnson. The three kart battle
was intense during the first half of the race. A lap five caution flag
flew for a Shailene Horn spin. Johnson made a strong challenge on the
restart and passed Henson on the outside down the back straightaway to
briefly take the Lead. However, Henson came back strong with an inside
pass in turn 2 a lap later. The three kart battle remained very close.
Working the final lap, the leaders again caught slower traffic. Johnson
was committed to the outside line and used it to pass Henson as they
worked the final turn. Wheeler also got past Henson in the final turn,
and Johnson won, followed by Wheeler, Henson, Uriah Sanders, Horn and
final lead lap finisher Jayme DeBenedetti. Hunter Granger and Issac
Grimes rounded out the finishing order as Caleb Ranney was a Main Event
scratch. Wheeler won both of his eight lap heat races. Horn picked up
her group's first heat race win, while Johnson won their group's second
heat race.
Ron
Bolles made a last lap pass on Sean Fuller to win the 15 lap UAS
Speedway Kart Main Event. Bolles was one of the original Dirt Modified
racers when the class was started on the West Coast at Petaluma Speedway
in the late 1980s, and he's been running Speedway Karts in recent
years. After Larry Fuller elected not to race as he wasn't feeling well,
Sean Fuller slipped into the kart that Larry drove to the win at the
previous race and set the early Main Event pace with Bolles running
closely behind him. Bolles had been leading the first heat race when
motor issues sent him to the pits, but the kart seemed to be running
fine for the Main Event. The lead two karts built up a bit of a lead
ahead of Steve Rambo while the Four Cycle Karts of Lori Fuller and
Michael Owens battled for fourth. Sean Fuller caught the two Four Cycle
Karts and lapped Owens. His hesitation in moving around Lori Fuller as
they exited Turn 2 on the final lap allowed Bolles to move underneath
and take the lead. Bolles went on to victory with Sean Fuller settling
for second ahead of Rambo, Lori Fuller and Owens. Sean Fuller also won
both eight lap heat races.
Keaton
Augustine kept his cool and stayed smooth in winning his first 15 Box
Stock Main Event of the season. Augustine finished second in points last
season and is in the championship battle this year. He raced into the
lead at the start, followed closely by Jacob James, previous Main Event
winner Ryan Hirschbock and incoming point leader Taylor Fuller. The
battle was close at the front of the pack as the lead four karts ran
nose-to-tail. A yellow flag flew on lap nine when Kiley Grimes spun in
Turn 4. Augustine resumed his smooth pace at the front of the pack on
the restart with James, Hirschbock and Fuller still giving him pressure
in second through fourth. However, Augustine hit all of his marks and
made no mistakes as he brought it home to a well-earned victory. James
had earlier won one of his heat races and would settle for second,
followed by Hirschbock and Fuller. Brandon Steinhoff was a solid fifth
as Grimes and Tyler Steinhoff took checkered flags in sixth and seventh,
respectively. Augustine was the other eight lap heat race winner.
Vinny
DeBenedetti won his first 20 lap 250 Kart Main Event. DeBenedetti gave a
glimpse of things to come when he picked up a heat race win earlier in
the evening, and he beat incoming point leader Trevor Grimes at the
start to take the early lead. Grimes spun in Turn 4 for a lap one
caution flag. He quickly charged by Taylor Fuller for second, and Fuller
pitted on lap three, leaving the two karts to battle it out for the
win. Despite heavy pressure from Grimes in his effort to wrestle the low
groove away from him, DeBenedetti stayed smooth and continued to lead
the way. Grimes again spun for a lap nine yellow flag. DeBenedetti
continued to hit his marks on the restart as Grimes did everything he
could to get by. Unfortunately, Grimes against spun for a lap 13 caution
flag, giving him three spins for the race and effectively bringing the
checkered flag to the event. DeBenedetti was a happy winner ahead of
Grimes and Fuller. Reigning Yreka Indoor 250 Kart champion Cadyn Smith
made his first appearance and impressed with a heat race win, but
mechanical issues ended his night early.
Josh
Steinhoff scored the victory in the 20 lap 500 Open Main Event.
Steinhoff won both of the 8 lap heat races and set the pace at the start
of the Main Event with Reece Slyter in pursuit. Slyter spun for a lap
seven caution flag. Steinhoff continued to lead Kyle Romociotti and
Slyter on the restart, but Slyter lost power on lap 12 for another
yellow flag. Steinhoff continued to lead Romociotti on the restart, but
Romociotti lost power on lap 17 to end his race. Steinhoff would win
ahead of Romociotti and Slyter.
The
Outlaw Kart program will continue at the little track on July 6th with
all of the divisions on the schedule. For further information, go to www.southernoregonspeedway.com.
