Cottage Grove, Oregon- In addition to the Interstate Sprint Car Series racing on Saturday, July 28th, so would three other classes. They would include the IMCA Sport Mods, Street Stocks, and Quality RV Repair Hornets.
Matt Sanders, of Brookings, had another incredible night of racing in the IMCA Sport Mods. Sanders paced the field for the vast majority of the distance only to get passed on the final circuit by Jorddon Braaten. Braaten, from Central Point, worked on Sanders in the final seven laps and eventually prevailed. It is Braaten’s seventh triumph at CGS in 2018.
In the Street Stocks David Schmidt would get the job done. The Junction City driver lead the entire distance to procure his third victory of the year and ties him for the most wins of the season in the class with Andrew Langan.
Oakridge’s Josh Corley would duke it out with Creswell chauffeur Graig Osborne in the Quality RV Repair Hornet main. Corley seized the initial lead while Osborne hunted him down to get around for the top spot on the fourteenth trip around the ¼-mile. Corley would recapture first place shortly afterwards in lapped traffic. Corley held on to win his sixth victory which ties him with Osborne for the most wins in the campaign.
Cottage Grove Speedway has two nights of racing on tap as the Summer Thunder Sprint Series will be in town on Friday, August 3rd, and Saturday, the 4th. This will be the last chance this season to watch 360 Sprints at CGs this year. Support divisions for Friday are the Mohawk Metal IMCA Modifieds and Street Stocks while both divisions return on Saturday with IMCA Sport Mods also added for that night only.
