On Saturday the 18th the 1/3-mile will get back in gear with DIRTcar Super Late Models, IMCA Modifieds, Super Sports, Street Stocks, and Mini Trucks on the card for the fifth race of the season.

“The year has started out great for us here,” commented Chris Nofziger, General Manger of the Willamette Speedway, “so far we have had four straight races with excellent weather each Saturday. This weekend’s races are going to be great and we hope everyone can make it out.”

So far in 2013 the Trevor Glaser has won two out of the four DIRTcar Super Late Model features. Russ Sell and Joey Tanner are the only other two drivers that have visited victory lane so far this year. The IMCA Modifieds have produced four different winners in as many races.
