Lebanon, Oregon- Willamette Speedway will get back to their racing ways on Saturday June 13th. The historic 1/3-mile clay oval will feature the Super Dirt Late Models, Super Sports, Sportsman, and Street Stocks. It should be another exciting night of racing to an already action packed race season.
But before the action erupts on Saturday there will be a practice on Friday the 12th from 4:00 PM to Dusk. General Admission to the practice on Friday is FREE for folks in the stands but Pit Passes are $15.00 each while the Car & Driver fee is $30.00.
Brian Cronk and Rob Mayea are tied with most wins in 2015 in the Super Dirt Late Models.

Sandy Sanders and Tom Yeack are level again on the win chart in the Sportsman division. Both drivers have managed to visit victory lane three times in the current campaign. Three drivers with one win include Jeff Rash, Dennis Archer, and Kevin Williamson. When Williamson picked up his win it is when he drove for Sandy Sanders.
