Borror Wins Geyer Memorial Race At Siskiyou Motor Speedway

Yreka, CA...Steve Borror is $2500 richer following his win in the 50 lap Billy Geyer Memorial race Saturday night at Siskiyou Motor Speedway. It was the fifth win of the season for the current Valley Boys Auto Sales Outlaw Pro Stock point leader, and it was the biggest win of his career. Borror battled with Friday night preliminary feature winner Brian Johnsen early in the race with Scott Flowers settling into third. Borror led at by the halfway mark of the race. After a break, the drivers returned and Borror continued to lead the way. Jeffrey Hudson made a couple of big passes to grab a nice $800 paycheck for second, but he was no match for the flying Borror. Flowers wrapped up a good showing with a $600 third as his son James Flowers and John Bowers were the only other drivers to stay on the lead lap. Making up the remainder of the top 10 were Johnsen, Matt Harlow, Tyler Lockwood, Miles Deubert and Mitch Machado.


The Friday night portion of the Pro Stock show saw the drivers run two heat races each to set the stage for the $500 to win, 25 lap preliminary feature. Hudson won his two heat races, while Borror and S. Flowers split the other two eight lappers with wins in front of Johnson. After Borror claimed the four lap Trophy Dash, Johnson locked himself into the big show with his victory in the 25 lap preliminary feature. S. Flowers was a strong second ahead of Borror, J. Flowers and Hudson. Johnson actually earned the pole for the big show on Saturday by winning his eight lap scramble in a very close battle with Borror. After running strong early in the big race, he faded to his eventual sixth place finish. Hudson and Petaluma visitor Machado won the other scrambles that determined the starting order for the big race.


The O'Reilly Auto Parts IMCA Sport Modifieds competed for a $700 first prize on Saturday, and young Colton Cheffey battled speedway veteran Jesse Morton before claiming his second win of the season in an impressive performance. Medford visitor Glen Severson finished third ahead of heat race winner Jack Walden Jr. and Chris Jorgensen. Cheffey turned in a perfect performance on Saturday with his win ahead of Jorgensen in the eight lap Trophy Dash. Reigning champion Colter Boswsll outdueled Cheffey in another good battle to grab his first 20 lap feature win of the season on Friday night. Morton finished third ahead of Joregensen, rookie Ryder Boswell and point leader Jimmy Lipke. Cheffey's impressive weekend also included a Friday night Trophy Dash win, while Garrett Hamilton and C. Boswell were the heat race winners.


The McDonald's Mini Stocks were on the card on Saturday night, and title hopeful Terry Kendrick had his truck back together following his rollover in the previous race. Kendrick gave it a good effort in the Main Event, but he was no match for reigning track champion David Steele, who collected his fifth 20 lap Main Event win of the season. Young Ethan Killingsworth was right behind Kendrick in third as Dennis Jorgensen, Dan Borror and incoming point leader Marilyn Yawnick followed in the Top 6. Killingsworth and Steele were heat race winners, but Kendrick claimed Trophy Dash honors.


The track will be dark until coming back on August 27th with a program that is being billed as Fan Appreciation Night.
