Lebanon, Oregon- Drivers Appreciation Night is next for Willamette Speedway and it will be a night to remember. The Saturday, August 5th, date will be a special night with a packed house expected to be on hand in both the grandstands and the pits. All six regular classes are on the schedule including the Super Late Models, IMCA Modifieds, Super Sports, Sportsman, Street Stocks, and Hornets.
Collen Winebarger has won three Super Late Models events while Bricen James has gotten two. Single race winners include Darren Coffell and Joey Tanner. In the IMCA Modifieds eight drivers have visited victory lane in nine races. John Campos is the only two-time winner while drivers who have won once include Bricen James, Collen Winebarger, Brian Thompson, Dustin Cady, Jesse Williamson, Wade Taylor, and Ethan Dotson.
The Super Sport division has been dominated by Dan Deibele. Deibele has six wins over the course of the current campaign with Chris Mott, Gil Pickett, and Jordan Wright all recording one win each. Ryan Emry and James Slover each have two wins in the Sportsman ranks. Jeff Rash, Jeff Titus, Sandy Sanders, and Chad Slover are one-time winners.
Meanwhile, in the Street Stocks Brian Cronk is atop the win chart with three. His father, David, has two trips to victory lane as well as Kyle Yeack. Kevin Roberts and Justin Evans have gotten the job done once. Last but not least is the Hornets where Tracy Muse has been the force to reckon with. Muse has five wins in the division while Crystal Flath, John Gartner, and Sam Potter have only one win to their credit.
