Cottage Grove, Oregon- The IMCA Modifieds will be making their return to the Cottage Grove Speedway this Saturday for Fan Appreciation Night presented by Huddle Automotive Repair. One of the drivers that will be shredding the clay at the 1/4-mile clay oval will be Jasper's Eric Ashley. It will be the first start of the season for the Furniture Options/Ashley Family Racing/Hanke Racing #84 entry.
“I'm pretty excited to get back out there after helping my dad out a little bit this year,” commented Ashley, “I also got to send thanks out to Ray and Sharon Hanke for their support of my team this season.”
Ashley has spent the season wrenching for his father, Gene, and his friend Jesse Williamson. Both of those drivers have visited victory lane once this season Gene in the Sport Mods and Williamson in the A-Mods. Will it be Ashley's turn to win this weekend? The last time Eric raced he posted an impressive fifth place on September 20th last season in only seven starts the whole year.
“It would be nice to come out of the box and get a win.”
Also on the card will be 360 Sprints, Late Models, Street Stocks, and the Quality RV Repair Hornets. Admission prices are Adults $13.00, Juniors/Seniors/Military $10.00, Youths (Ages 6-12) $5.00, 5 & Under FREE, and a Family Pass (consisting of two adults and up to four youths) is $30.00. Pit Gates open at 2:00 PM, Front Gates 4:00, Qualifying 5:30, and Racing begins right around 6:45.
