COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL MAY 10, 2017 3B
Fan appreciation at the Speedway is a night of hot action
SUBMITTED BY THE COTTAGE GROVE SPEEDWAY
What a great night to be at Cottage Grove Speedway! The
weather may have been cold but the racing action was hot. The
pits were nice and full with 80 cars signing in and the grandstands
were equally full with fans! 5 classes on the schedule and an
extended meet and greet intermission with the drivers made for a
jam-packed night of racing.
K.C. Scott and Rich Dickinson were looking to be the ones
to beat in the Quality RV Hornet class setting the fastest laps in
qualifying at a 17.101 for Scott and a 17.399 for Dickinson. They
both moved quickly from 4th to 2nd in their respective James
Heating & Air Conditioning Heat Races but were unable to take
the wins away from Josh Corley and Burnie Bryant. The invert
dice brought out the 0 and Corley and Bryant would start side by
side for the Main Event. Corley led the fi rst 2 laps over Bryant
who then took the lead and led until the checkers fl ew picking up
the Quality RV Hornet main event win! Scott would fi nish 2nd
followed by Joe Maricle, Corley and McClure would round out
the top 5.
The IMCA Sportmods were back in action for the 3rd race of
the year. Last week’s winner Chris Frisbie and Eagle Point’s Da-
vid Marble would come from deep in the fi eld to win the 2 James
Heating & Air Conditioning Heat Races. Despite a hard charge
and challenge for the lead by Frisbie, Daniel Ray was a man on
a mission in the main event leading all 20 laps and becoming the
3rd different Sportmod winner of 2017. Steve Hopkins was 2nd,
Doug Coffman 3rd, Shawn Hand 4th, and Jayson Nelson 5th.
Kinzer Cox set the quickest time of the night with a 12.990 in
The Todd’s Auto Body Sprints beating last week’s winner Tyler
Thompson by just 8 1/1000’s of a second. Raquel Ivie and Cooper
Desbiens would both lead every lap of the 2 James Heating & Air
Conditioning Heat Races from the pole and would share front row
honors in the main event. Ivie would go on to lead the fi rst 11
laps before Desbiens was able to make his move by her but would
ultimately end up a little high off of 3 turns 3 and 4 ending his
night prematurely. Ivie would inherit the lead once again and lead
for a few more laps until a charge from 5th put Patrick Dills in the
top spot. Dills would go on to win The Todd’s Auto Body Sprints
followed by Ivie, Shane Forte, Ricky Ashley and Cox.
Mohawk Metal IMCA Modifi eds were the largest class of the
night with 22 drivers on hand and all looking for a win. There
were 3 James Heating & Air Conditioning Heat Races ran. Heat
#1 looked like it would be won by long time racer Gene Ashley,
but Craig Hanson had another idea winning
the race from a 6th place start. Eric Ashley
started out front in Heat #2 and never looked
back leading all 8 laps for the win. Heat
#3 was a battle of the 5’s as Jake Mayden
and Jesse Williamson charged to the front,
ultimately Mayden would come out over
Williamson. Hanson and Eric Ashley shared
front row honors for the Main event and
Ashley took the early lead and continue to
lead for the fi rst 14 of 20 laps. Williamson
who started deep in the fi eld in 12th quickly
and easily moved his way to the front and on
lap 15 took the lead and went on to win the
race, followed closely by Ashley, Tyler Smith,
Hanson, and Curtis Towns.
Reigning Late Model champion Britton Do-
nahoo was ready to pick up where he left off
setting quick time of 14.447 and winning his
James Heating & Air Conditioning Heat Race
after some good battles with Eric Luckman
and Curtis Towns. Heat #2 was looking to
be Jim Whisler until Blaine Taylor made his
move half way thru the race and was able to

take the checkered fl ag over Whisler at the end. Donahoo and
Taylor shared the front row for the main. The main event was
defi nitely exciting as Taylor and Donahoo battled back and forth
for the lead at the halfway point Towns joined the battle and when
the checkers fell it would be Taylor with the win over Towns and
Britton. Luckman and Whisler rounded out the top 5.

Rob loves the music he is playing! Rob invites you to tune in on Wednesdays,
call-in your requests and enjoy some great Rock ‘n Roll, Soul and Rhythm &
Blues tunes. Rob was born in San Francisco in 1954 and grew up listening to
KYA 1260 and KEWB 910, then later to KFRC 610. Rob formed his fi rst garage
band in 1966 as a 12- year-old, and continued with the same bandmates until
early 1969. If it was played on top 40 radio, Rob heard it. His love for 50s and
60s music continues today and he loves keeping the music of the 50s and 60s
alive, especially songs that should have been heard, but weren’t. When he’s not
spinning records at KNND, Rob ithe co-owner of Grill & Chill, “the little blue
box that rocks on the corner of 9th and Whiteaker”. He invites you to stop by
and say hi.
