Cottage Grove, Oregon- After a week of dormancy the Non-Wing Sprint Car stars of the Pacific Northwest is back in action on Saturday, May 20th. The second race of the campaign will take place at Oregon’s Cottage Grove Speedway. Expect a very good car count to compliment some entertaining racing at the historic ¼-mile clay oval.
Gary Lynch would open up the 2017 season with a big win at Madras Speedway on May 6th. There was also a healthy number of participants with nineteen drivers making the journey. That number will most likely go up due to Cottage Grove Speedway boasting a good base of Sprint Car teams in the area. There is also an enticing $200.00 bonus, courtesy of Rob Lindsey and Brian Crockett of BC Motorsports, on the line for the highest finishing Cottage Grove Speedway Limited engine.
The WSS has only been to Cottage Grove Speedway twice since the formation of the series in 2016. Cooper Desbiens and Kyle Miller would split the wins in those two events. Will there be three different winners in as many Wingless Sprint Series appearances.
Pit Gates open at 2:00 PM, Front Gates 4:00, and Racing at 6:30. Ticket prices are $13.00 for Adults, Juniors (13-17)/Seniors (62+) $10.00, Youths (6-12) $5.00, and Children (5 and Under) are FREE. The track is hosting Armed Forces Night so all veterans and military members get into the races for FREE. For more information log on to www.cottagegrovespeedway.com.
