_Hot August Nights at Silver Dollar Speedway Kick Off with Miller Glass
and Kids Bike Night_
The final four Feather Falls Casino point championship nights all
happen
in the month of August. This Friday night, August 3, the thunder of
racing returns to the speedway as the 410 sprint cars, dirt modifieds
and wingless sprints all will participate in round number 18. The night
of racing will be sponsored by Miller Glass of Chico located at 745
Cherry St. This is the second year in a row that Miller Glass has
sponsored an event at Silver Dollar Speedway.
Tonight will also serve as kids bike night at the races. Don't forget
to
bring your bicycle to the fairgrounds. Pullins Cyclery located at 8th &
Main in downtown Chico is donating a free BMX bicycle to one lucky
young
fan. All kids 11 and under will be admitted free into the race track.
Once through the front grandstand gates the kids will receive a coupon
good for one free popcorn and coca-cola. They will also receive a
ticket
for the raffle drawing of the BMX bicycle that will take place later in
the night. Also during the night the racing will stop and the children
will take their own bicycles and get to race on the Silver Dollar
Speedway.
The front grandstand gate will open at 6 pm. Racing is slated to start
at 7:30. Adult price is $10.00. Junior and Senior prices are $8.00.
Children 11 and under will be admitted free.
Miller Glass has had a long relationship with Silver Dollar Speedway.
Miller Glass is promoted on the side of Mike Sohnrey and his #0 dirt
modified. Going into the racing action Sohnrey sits in the seventh spot
of the points but he has only competed in nine events. During those
night races he has won three of them. The leader is Richard Papenhausen
of Chico. Papenhausen has four wins and a 38 point lead over Darin
Ruley.
Chico's Stephen Allard is no the leader of the point series heading
into
this Friday night's race. Yet, the leader Jonathan Allard, has left
Chico and will be racing in Iowa the next two weeks. Stephen will gain
from his younger brothers exit and assume the point lead. Chasing him
is
Oroville's Sean Becker. The two are separated by 39 points with four
races to go. Placerville driver Andy Gregg is next in the point battle.
This is his first full season at Chico and leads Korey Lovell by
21-points for the fourth spot. Lovell, from Yuba City, is also
campaigning as the car owner.
The closest battle involves the wingless sprint division. Rohnert Park
driver Brandon Davis leads Grass Valley driver Jay Youngman by a mere
13-points. Both drivers have battled all year for the top spot in the
points. Cody Myers sits in third and just won his first main event the
previous Friday night. Following Myers in Matt Streeter of Tracey.
