Hoserville continues support of Bradway heats next week

By Gary Thomas

Chico, CA – April 24, 2014…We’re happy to announce that the fan group known as HoservilleCA will once again be partnering with the heat races at the 24^th annual “Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial” next Saturday May 3. This is the 12^th consecutive season that HoservilleCA will be a part of the heat races during the King of the West 410 Sprint Car Series sanctioned event at Chico’s Silver Dollar Speedway.

Each 10-lap heat race winner on Saturday May 3 will receive a free Hoosier Right Rear Tire plus Five Sleeves of Tear Offs. HoservilleCA has been involved with the heat races at the “Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial” since 2003 and it has grown to be a major part of the event each year.

Red Line Oil is also donating a Red Line Sprint Car oil change of Motor Oil, Gear Oil and WaterWetter to each heat race winner. In addition to that the company will be donating various Red Line Oil hats to be given away to kids during the pre-race autograph session.

The “Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial” pays tribute to fallen race car driver Dave Bradway Jr., who lost his life in a Sprint Car crash at Skagit Speedway’s Dirt Cup in 1987. Bradway Jr. was a driver destined for stardom in Sprint Car racing and the event held in his memory has become a cornerstone for the King of the West 410 Sprint Car Series each season.

We currently have $200 thus far on the line for the Carwash Mike Fast Time Award, courtesy of John Luther aka 50th Stater. Last year’s award paid $1140 to the fast time qualifier at the event. The winner of the award on Saturday May 3 will also take home a custom one of a kind Jagermeister Trophy & a Coors Light Cowboy Hat, in honor of super fan Carwash Mike Avilla, who passed away a few years ago.

If anyone would like to add to the fast time award, purchase a lap or add anything to the night, please contact Dave and Dianne Durica at Durica1414@sbcglobal.net or 916-988-5958. The Carwash Mike Fast Time Award has been captured the last two years by Rico Abreu & Tim Kaeding respectively.

Last season’s edition of the event saw history be made when Rutherford’s Rico Abreu became the youngest winner ever of the “Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial” and also took home the most money in the history of the show, pocketing over $8500. The 22-year-old will be in action once again at the event next weekend and looks to continue his red hot start to the season, which has seen him win eight main events already.

The Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial also features a 40-lap main event to conclude the night. Information and updates on the event will be found in the coming week at www.kwssprints.com & www.silverdollarspeedway.com and also stay glued to both the KWS and Silver Dollar Speedway Facebook pages.
