Coos Bay, Oregon- Saturday July 18th will be the only visit that the Northwest Wingless Tour will make in 2015 to Coos Bay Speedway. The coastal venue is expected to host a thrilling race like they have done so in the past few years. One driver that will be making their first start in Non-Wing 360 Sprint competition is Erin Lyons from Roseburg. Lyons is in her first year in Sprint Cars after having a successful Kage Kart career where she earned several championships.
“It's been quite a learning experience,” said Lyons, “it's a lot different then the Karts and I've been doing it pretty much all by myself, but with the help from my crew chief Stephen (Morgenstern), so it's been quite an adventure. We haven't won anything yet but we're getting there.”
Lyons will be racing her familiar Grandma Enterprises/Independent Motor Rebuilders/Team Dirt Dog #98 Maxim. In only a handful of starts her best finishes have resulted in a pair of sixths. She looks to gain some valuable experience this Saturday.
“I honestly just want to go out there and keep it on all fours,” Erin continued, “it's all about experience and seat time.”
Pit Gates open at 2:00 PM, Front Gates 4:00, and Racing is scheduled to begin around 6:30. For more information log on to www.coosbayspeedway.us.
