Lebanon, Oregon- Race fans will have a full weekend of action to take in at Willamette Speedway on Friday May 10th and Saturday the 11th. The Karts will have their second race of the year this Friday in what should be another great night for the program. Saturday will mark the fourth race of the 2013 campaign on the 1/3-mile clay oval with the DIRTcar Super Late Model, IMCA Modified, Super Sports, Sportsman, and Street Stock divisions will all be on hand.

“The last couple of weeks we’ve had some great racing and great weather,” said Chris Nofziger, General Manager of Willamette Speedway, “it’s going to be very fun weekend with Karts kicking everything off Friday and the big cars on Saturday. We hope everyone can make it out and enjoy some great entertainment.”

The same can be said for the IMCA Modified division with Mark Carrell, Kyle Yeack, and Jeffrey Rivers all earning main event triumphs this year.
