Lebanon, Oregon- The IMCA Sport Mods would play the role as the support class at Willamette Speedway on Thursday, June 29th. It marked the third time ever that the division has raced at the historic 1/3-mile clay oval. A total of twelve entries would make the journey from all over the states of Oregon and California.
Yuba City, California native Brian Cooper picked up from where he last left off the night before and returned to his dominating fashion. Cooper would grab the initial race lead and stayed in front of the pack the whole entire time to win the main event. It would be an entire clean sweep of the evening’s events and was the third straight Sport Mod race he has won this week.
Keith Brown Jr., out of Pittsburg, California, was second followed by third finishing Tim Elias, from Chowchilla, California. Fourth went to Springfield’s Jayson Nelson, while Jimmy Ford, out of Yuba City, California, was fifth.

Pit Gates open at 3:00 PM, Front Gates 3:30, and Racing starts around 6:00. A $25.00 Car Load Special will be offered for Friday which means you can pack as many people in your vehicle and get into the races for just $25.00!
