Lebanon, Oregon- The future of Willamette Speedway will be in action for the fourth time of the 2014 campaign this Friday June 20th. The stars in the Karts will contest for another action packed installment as already in the first three races there have been some awesome competition.
Bricen James has won every single Open Kage feature to date and is looking for his fourth consecutive main event triumph. In the 250cc ranks Kyle Cormican broke Eric Scofield’s two win streak in the last race to become the second different winner of the year. In the 125cc division Kyle Roles picked up his second win of the year becoming the only multi-feature winner in 2014 with Connor Hanson the only other driver to visit victory lane.
Jerry Fonfara has won the last two Rookie Speedway Kart mains while Jayden Kimball has done so once. Jonathan Brown is in winning form by earning the last two wins in the KT Speedway Kart class. Melissa Aicher is the only other winner in the class.
The only class that has witnessed three different winners in as many races is the 5HP Open with Carter Patterson, Benjamin Silliker, and most recently Skyler Winebarger. The opposite can be said in the Pee Wee and 5HP Intermediate classifications with Jayden Trupp and Austin Sause winning every single main event in their respected classes.
The Karts will kick the weekend off on Friday June 20th for their fourth race of the season. General admission to the Friday Kart race will be FREE of charge. Pit Passes are $10.00 and Car and Driver fees will be $30.00. The Pit Gate will open up around 4:00 PM and Racing is scheduled to begin around 6:30.
