Jorgensen, Hibbard Win Open Wheel Showcase
At Southern Oregon Speedway
White City, Oregon...May
26...Jonathan Jorgenson won the 25 lap Northwest Focus Midget Main Event
Saturday night at Southern Oregon Speedway. Jorgenson took the lead
from defending series champion Tristin Thomas on lap six and was never
seriously threatened after that. The race had two early caution flags
before going non stop for the final 24 laps. Following Jorgensen and T.
Thomas in the Top 5 were Garrett Thomas, Eric Turner and Evan Margeson
Bailey Hibbard scored the
victory in the 25 lap Kendall Oil Winged Sprint Car Main Event. Bailey
led all the way, at times closely challenged by his father David Hibbard
as they worked traffic. However, the son beat the father for a well
earned victory. Eric Turner finished third ahead of 12th starter Jeffrey
Hudson and Merissa Henson. 61 year old Calvin Hibbard was noteworthy in
beating son David and grandson Bailey for his first heat race win.
Guy Tow won the 20 lap SODCA
Dwarf Car Main Event. Tow led all the way and was never seriously
challenged. Mason Lewman won a three car battle for second ahead of Ryan
Smith and Chad Cardoza. Previous winner Josh King finished fifth.
Dusty Trotter won his first 20
lap OTRO Hardtop Main Event. Trotter moved into second on lap six and
gained the lead when leader Justin Krossman spun in Turn 4 on lap 15.
Jay Smith closed in on the last lap for a second place finish ahead of
Mark Minter, Jamie Britton and Bill Trotter.
