Lebanon, Oregon- Willamette Speedway is back in action on Saturday August 15th. With a handful of tracks dormant this week it is sure to produce a very good car count in all of the divisions planning to race. Classes on tap include the Super Dirt Late Models, IMCA Modifieds, Sportsman, and Street Stocks.
Brian Cronk has been such an impressive force in the Super Dirt Late Models after posting four wins making him the leader of the win chart this season. Rob Mayea has three victories while Bricen James' two make him the only other multi-race winner. Justin Duty, John Duty, and Trevor Glaser have all made one visit to victory lane in 2015.
The IMCA Modifieds make their return after a few weeks off. Collen Winebarger leads the charge with an impressive six victories. Dustin Cady has held the winner's trophy twice in the current campaign and one-time winners include Craig Cassell, Jeremy Shank, and Alex Stanford.
In the Sportsman ranks Sandy Sanders is still on top of the winner's list. Sanders has five wins as a driver and one win as a car owner when Kevin Williamson got the job done. Tom Yeack and Jeff Rash have had some remarkable runs including three victories each. Chad Slover picked up his second win of 2015 last week while Dennis Archer and Brian Winkler have won once.
Finally in the Street Stocks the big question is can anyone slow down Kyle Yeack? He has been on fire winning a eight races as well as some big money shows outside of Willamette. The only one close to that win total is Justin Evans with his three triumphs. Doug Scot, Brian Cronk, Bricen James, Steve Jorgensen, Kevin Roberts, and J.J. Irvine have managed to make one trip to victory lane.
Saturday the Pit Gates will open at 1:00 PM, the Pit Meeting will take place at 2:30, Front Gates open at 3:30, and Racing starts at 6:00.
