Cottage Grove, Oregon- Cottage Grove Speedway will have two fun-filled action-packed events this coming weekend. It all begins on Friday June 24th for the second Fast Friday of 2016. General Admission (Ages 6+) get into the races for just $5.00! Saturday the 25th will be the return of the Logger’s Cup which is the biggest Late Model race of the season at CGS. Classes in action on Friday are IMCA Modifieds and the Quality RV Repair Hornets while Saturday features the Late Models, Wingless Sprint Series, IMCA Modifieds, and Quality RV Repair Hornets.
The Late Models have had four different winners in as many races. Rob Campos pulled off a big win last weekend and joined Darren Coffell, Britton Donahoo, and Ron Brewster as 2016 victors. Curtis Towns won the 2015 edition of the Logger’s Cup.
The Wingless Sprint Series has visited Cottage Grove just once this year. Teenager Cooper Desbiens was the winner of that race. Rob Lindsey is the top point earner after the three events including two wins, one at Madras and the other at Elma, that he’s managed to accumulate.
