Lebanon, Oregon- It will be an all hands-on deck sort of night at Willamette Speedway on Saturday, August 4th. The historic 1/3-mile clay oval hosts their annual Driver Appreciation Night.

Joey Tanner has won the lion’s share of the Late Model races with four total while both Casey Vitale and Trent Elliott have two apiece. Rob Mayea is the only single race winner in the division. Collen Winebarger is still atop in the IMCA Modifieds with his five visits to victory lane but both Bricen James and Dustin Cady trail him with four victory lane visits each. Grey Ferrando and John Campos are one-time winners in 2018.
In the Super Sport ranks it is a three-way tie for most victories. Randy Barley, Doug Elkins, and B.J. Donofrio have amazingly won three times this year. Chris Mott, McLain Beaudoin, and Joey Tanner have managed to get the job done once each. There also remains a three-way tie in the Sportsman division. James Slover, Ryan Emry, and Jeff Rash have all parked it on the front stretch at the end of the night twice. Randy Boyd, Steve Piefer, Tom Yeack, and Chad Slover are all one-time winners.
Incredibly, another tie exists in the win column, this time in the Street Stocks. Dakota Godard and Justin Evans are level with each other having three victories in the class. Kevin Roberts and Kyle Yeack both have won twice while Collen Winebarger and McKenzie Lockhart are the only one-time victors so far. In the IMCA Stock Cars Godard leads the field with two wins to his credit over Brad Gentry, Kevin Roberts, and David Cronk.
Lastly, in the Hornets Eddie Farness has amassed three victories, the most in 2018 so far. K.C. Scott and Tracy Muse are the only other multi-feature winners, with two, while Matt Diller, James Donaldson, and Josh Corley visiting the winner’s circle once.
