C
ottage Grove Speed-
way was in action on
Friday, April 23, for the
Spring Fling doublehead-
er weekend.
Unfortunately,
wet
weather washed away the
program for the Saturday
portion. Friday night had
three divisions on tap in-
cluding one a part of the
Speedway Motors IMCA
Weekly Racing program.
Classes in attendance
were 360 Sprints, IMCA
Modifieds, and Street
Stocks.
The 360 Sprints made
their return to Cottage
Grove Speedway after be-
ing absent since late 2019.
Central Point’s Gar-
en Linder got out to the
front on the opening
start of the main event.
Linder remained at his
post until he was over-
taken shortly after a re-
start. It was Jodie Robin-
son, of Roseville, Calif.,
who managed to get past
Linder.
Robinson paced the
field for some time but
had to deal with a pair of
cautions which gave her
an open race track and
no lapped traffic to deal
with. After returning to
green flag action on lap
thirteen Garen Linder
made a bonsai move and
passed Jodie to claim first
place at the line.
The race would stay
green for the rest of the
distance.
Jodie Robinson of Roseville, Calif., took the win during last weekend’s Spring Fling doubleheader at the
Cottage Grove Speedway. Racers will be back on the track this weekend.
In the long run, Linder which Robinson caught,
had to deal with the tail and eventually passed,
end of the lead lap field. Garen on lap twenty-six.
It was an opportunity in
Jodie Robinson went
on to win the feature in
her first career CGS ap-
pearance.
Garen Linder was a
strong second while Jack-
sonville teenager Tanner
Holmes got third.
Meridian, Idaho travel-
er Tyler Driever ended his
night fourth while 17th
starting Tyler Thompson,
from Harrisburg, placed
fifth.
For the IMCA Mod-
ifieds, Paul Rea set the
pace in the first few laps.
The Eugene veteran
was at the point of the
pack until lap three when
Jeffrey Hudson managed
to get around him. Hud-
son, from the central Or-
egon town of Keno and
racing for car owner Don
Roemer, stayed there for
the majority of the race.
Hudson was overtaken
late, on lap 18, by Alba-
(541) 205-9369
ny’s Bricen James. James

ple of stoppages which
meant he had to deal with
a handful of restarts.
Bricen would master
each of them and the sev-

len Winebarger got sec-

Albany’s
Matthew
Drager and Otis teenag-

finishing order.
Lastly in the Street

thony Prather was quick
in the early goings. The
Keizer youngster re-
mained in the coveted
top spot before eventually
being overtaken.
It was Donald Schott,
from Eagle Creek, who
was the new trailblazer.
Only one caution oc-
curred during the entire
race and Schott checked
out from the rest of the
pack to go on for the vic-
tory.

swell, finished in sec-
ond while third went to
