Cottage Grove, Oregon- Saturday, June 8th, was Kids Night at Cottage Grove Speedway making it the only evening of racing with the Kart races the night before getting rained out. CGS would like to thank all the fine folks and businesses that donated bicycles, the track was able to give away over fifty bikes. Classes in action included 360 Sprints, Mohawk Metal IMCA Modifieds, IMCA Sport Mods, and Dwarf Cars.
Central Point’s Jake Wheeler did not disappoint in the 360 Sprint main. Wheeler obtained the lead in lapped traffic on the seventh trip past the flag stand and went on to win the race. It is his first career 360 win at CGS and is the first Oregon driver to win in the division since September 9th, 2017. Coburg’s Kevin Williamson dominated the Mohawk Metal IMCA Modified main event. Williamson grabbed the top spot on lap four and never gave it back to win his first ever Modified race.
In the IMCA Sport Mods a number of different drivers paced the field. But it would be Jorddon Braaten obtaining the lead on lap fifteen with a late race pass. Braaten, of Central Point, parked his mount in victory lane for the second occasion of the 2019 season at Cottage Grove. Finally, Josh King took care of business in the Dwarf Car ranks. King, also from Central Point, led all but two laps of the main event and put his Dwarf in the winner’s circle.
