Carter Patterson leads the winner’s list in the 5HP Open, with five, and Benjamin Silliker has recorded two wins while Skyler Winebarger has won once.
In the Speedway Kart divisions Jerry Fonfara is atop the Rookie class with his five wins while Jayden Kimball has two. Jonathan Brown leads the Adult division with his four wins over Melissa Aicher’s two and Dylan Snyder’s single triumph.
With just a single point lead Kyle Roles has managed to visit the winner’s circle on three occasions in the 125cc over Conner Hanson who has done so four times while Trinity Pendley has record one win. Eric Scofield, Kyle Cormican, and Tyler Thompson all have two trips to victory lane in the 250cc division and single feature winners include Lucas Ashe and Duke Johnson.

As usual Willamette Speedway will give the feature winners an awesome oversized check with their name on it and drivers that win in the 125cc, 250cc, and Open Kage divisions will get a FREE tire courtesy of Hoosier Racing Tires. Also all participants in non-purse classes will receive one of the awesome plaques that are exclusive to Willamette Speedway.
None of this would be possible without the great support from the folks at Scofield’s Karts & Parts, Xtreme Motorsports, James Gang Pizza, and Schram Brothers Excavating so a big thanks to all the wonderful people at those establishments.
