Twin Falls, Idaho-Magic Valley Speedway would open up the triple header race weekend for both the Royal Purple NSRA Winged Sprintcars
as well as the Royal Purple King Of The Wing groups. The Thursday, September 14th, event would beat out the rain that was at times a nuisance and completed the whole entire program. Twenty-nine teams would make the journey from the American states of Idaho,
Washington, Oregon, California, and Utah as well as the Canadian province of British Columbia.
Earning the pole starting position local favorite Bryan Warf would take over the lead once the green flag dropped. The Meridian chauffeur
would keep the Pat Russell owned entry in front of the rest of the field for the entire distance. It would be the second victory of the current campaign against the Royal Purple NSRA Winged Sprintcars and is his first career King Of The Wing triumph.
Johnny Giesler, also from Meridian, was second while grabbing third would be Matt Hein, out of Roseburg, Oregon. The balance of the top
five consisted of fourth finishing Eric Humprhies, from Chowchilla, California, and Langley, British Columbia’s Aaron Willison, making an appearance in the Rod and Gord Rendle machine, in fifth.
Jason Conn, making the extremely long tow from Prince George, British Columbia, was quickest in time trials. Heat race winners were Quesnel,
British Columbia veteran Ron Larson, Meridian native Colton Nelson, Salt Lake City, Utah’s Kyle Bergener, and Bryan Warf. Kyle Alberding, from Winston, Oregon and racing for car owner Art Holte, won the consolation feature.
Meridian Speedway will be the site of the final two races of the 2017 season for the Royal Purple NSRA Winged Sprintcars. They will compete
at the Idaho 1/4-mile facility on Friday, September 15th, and Saturday, the 16th. Friday and Saturday at Meridian are $18.00 each night for Adults, Seniors/Military $15.50, Kids (7-11) $6.50, and a Family Pass (including 2 Adults and up to 4 kids) for $46.00.
