Hello. I'm just a writer trying to get the word out for the tracks I care about. I am unofficial. Just trying to help the cause.
Despite the threat of rain in the area, the show went on at Siskiyou Motor Speedway Saturday night. Southern Oregon Speedway champion Jorddon Braaten returned and ran away with the victory in the O'Reilly Auto Parts IMCA Sport Modified 30 lap Main Event. Dennis Jorgensen ended Marilyn Yawnick's two race win streak in the 20 lap McDonald's Mini Stock feature. Veteran Stan Gunderson bested a slim field of IMCA Modifieds in their 15 lap feature.
Braaten currently leads the competitors in the Northwest Sport Mod Challenge Series and did nothing to hurt that when he won the Main Event. Braaten set a blistering pace out front and won by over half a lap ahead of Jimmy Lipke, in his best finish yet. Kurt Lorenini was a respectable third as Chris Jorgensen and Colton Cheffey rounded out the Top 5 as lead lap finishers. Mike Medel was back after winning the season opener and finished a lap down in sixth, followed by Garrett Hamilton, David Marble, Kyle Pitkin and Trevor Tiffee. Heat wins were scored by Lorenzini and Medel, and Chad Wormington was the Trophy Dash winner.
Dennis Jorgensen and Marilyn Yawinick were the Mini Stock heat race winners, and Joregensen continued that momentum by winning his first Main Event. The win came ahead of the rapidly improving Ethan Killingsworth in his fast Mini Truck. 2014 champion "Magic" Mike Whitaker had his best finish of the year in third. Yawnick settled for fourth ahead of Devon Weiser, Trophy Dash winner Terry Kendrick, Mike Coleson, Mike Frost and Amber Waldon. Point leader and defending champion David Steele scratched early in the evening with mechanical issues, and that should put past champion Kendrick in the point lead when the new totals are released.
Stan Gunderson won the IMCA Modified feature ahead of Roger Lorenzini and Duane Orsburn. Lorenzini won both the Trophy Dash and heat race.
The Sport Mods had a Mechanics Race, and Modified veteran Lenny Toolanen won that race ahead of Cory Biggs, Dennis Joregensen and past Southern Oregon Speedway Mini Stock champion Toby Judd. Racing resumes next Saturday night with IMCA Sport Modifieds, Mini Stocks and SODCA Dwarf Cars all on the card. This is the first round of the Patriot Series.
