Event Saturday night at Southern Oregon Speedway. Hibbard jumped into
the lead at the start and pulled away from the pack in the 25 lap race
that went without a yellow flag. Blaine Corey had his second straight
runner up finish as Garen Linder, Tanner Holmes and Bailey Hibbard
completed the Top 5.
Zach Fettinger won his second
20 lap IMCA Modified Main Event. Mark Wauge led eight laps before
Fettinger moved underneath him in Turn 2 to gain the lead. Fettinger set
a rapid pace and built up a straightaway advantage at the checkered
flag. Albert Gill outran Nick Trenchard in a good battle or second as
Jeremy Ohlde and Andy Freeman rounded out the Top 5.
Brandon Wilson won the 20 lap
IMCA Sport Modified Main Event. Jimmy Lipke battled Randy Wright early
before pulling ahead. Jesse Merriman and Brandon Wilson both challenged
Lipke down the stretch, but Lipke seemed to have it in hand. However,
Wilson got a run on Lipke exiting the final turn and beat him to the
checkered Flag to steal the win. David Marble finished third ahead of
Tony Bartell and Tony Duste.
Cody Peters won the 20 lap
SODCA Dwarf Car Main Event. Peters led the race from the start with
Kalvin Morton in pursuit through four yellow flags. In heavy traffic,
Morton tried to make an inside pass racing to the checkered flag, but
Cody Peters held him off for the victory. Fred Hay finished third,
followed by Josh King and Camden Robustelli.
Point leader Charlie Eaton won
the 20 lap Valley Stor-All Late Model Lites Main Event. Bob Burkett had
the pole and led from the start with Greg Arnold and Lee Doty in close
pursuit. Arnold spun in Turn 2 and was clipped by Doty to end his race
on lap 11. Contact between the lead two cars enabled Eaton to race into
the lead in Turn 2 on lap 15. Eaton led the rest of the way to win ahead
of Burkett, Doty, Eric Aos and Dusty Aos.
