Also on the racing card on Wednesday June 17th at Sunset Speedway Park was the Northwest Dwarf Cars. The division would play the role of support class to the IMCA Modifieds. A total of seven entries would be in attendance representing the states of Oregon and Washington.
Sezing the lead on lap one was the Tommy's Transmissions/Home Turf Sport Bar #18 D&R of Shane Youngren. Youngren, from Tigard, would be under quite a bit of pressure at some moments but as the race went along he would be able to stretch his lead. When it was all said and done Youngren would cross the wire the leader for his first triumph of the season.
Rainier's Guy Tow Sr. was second in his Two Guys Racing #46 M&M followed by Creswell native Kevin Hicks in third driving the Hicks Family Racing/The Wright Shop/Cindy Sew It/B-Rad Motorsports #78 Philpott.
