Lebanon, Oregon- A big weekend of racing will be at Willamette Speedway this Friday, June 29th and Saturday, the 30th. The Wild West Modified Shootout will wrap up their 2018 schedule once again at the famed 1/3-mile clay oval. IMCA Modifieds will be the headliner all weekend long while Super Sports and IMCA Stock Cars will play the role as the support class. When everything is all said and done Saturday the evening will be capped off with a massive fireworks display.
Before the engines roar though the fine folks at FinishLine Graphics will be hosting a Driver Appreciation Party at Willamette Speedway starting around 6:00 PM. They will have food courtesy of Pit Cart BBQ, music, a corn hole tournament, and more. It is FREE for drivers, crew members, track/series officials, and even fans to attend. However, the party will not be providing drinks so be sure to bring your own.
In 2018 local IMCA Modified action Collen Winebarger has reigned supreme. Winebarger has four trips to victory lane. However, Dustin Cady has won the last two straight. John Campos and Bricen James have one each to their credit.
The Super Sports has seen B.J. Donofrio win a total of three races this year. Randy Barley, Chris Mott, Doug Elkins, and McLain Beaudoin have all been successful this year with one win a piece. Only one IMCA Stock Car race has been competed with Brad Gentry the winner.
Both nights the Pit Gates open at 1:00 PM, Front Gates 3:30, and Racing at 6:00. Friday tickets are $14.00 for Adults, Junior/Military/Senior $10.00, Youth (6-12) $5.00, 5 and Under FREE, and a Family Pass (2 Adults and up to 4 Youths) $35.00.
