Oakland Valley Speedway

Race Report by John Sainz

June 25, 2011: We had another great night of racing at the Oakland valley Speedway tonight. Track was in good shape after a couple of days of rain. The features started out with the Heavys class and it was a good race with Randy McCullough taking the win, his first of the season, with Dan Hoeffner right behind him for second. Ian Petry rounded out the top three. In the Lights class, Steven Gully picked up his third win and third in a row. He looked to be hooked up well. In the Mediums class, Dan Hoeffner returned to Oakland Valley Speedway to capture his first win in this class, over Ryan Edwards and Bryan Shields third.

In the Junior Slingshot class, points leader Erin Paulison picked up her third win of the season over Isaiah Masker and Evan Vanvalkenburg in his Jr. Slingshot debut. In the Senior Slingshot class, Matt Reiley finally ended Eddie Reiley’s win streak and took the win over Eddie and Joey Massimilla came in third..It was Matt’s first win this year. In the Rookie Champ class, Devin Greer takes the win over Jake Mason and in Junior 1, it was Anthony Roselli taking the win over Raelleigh Silvernail. Junior Rookie driver Alecia Spiers took the track for her first time and had a great time. We all had to start somewhere. Good job Alecia. Senior Rookie class had Jill Roberts taking the win over Greg Canale and Steve Weed.

In the Junior Stock class, Patrick Dempsey broke through with his first win in this class, with Geoffrey Fox second and Dominick Roselli third. Junior 2 had Sean Glennon picked up his third win in a row and third of the season. Jake Lowther was second and Ryan Tani third. In Junior 3, Dominick Roselli looked good and took the checkered flag for his third win this year, Patrick Hayes came in second and Hali Vandermeulen was third. In the Junior Sportsman Champ class, Sean Glennon picked up his fourth win of the season, with Ryan Quackenbush coming in second and Anthony Wood third. The Senior Champ class had John Sainz taking the win, with Aaron Turner second and Bob Mattera third. The Senior Stock class had Clark McCullum taking the win in his return to the track. Mark Stanley, right on his rear bumper, took second with Kevin Morgan third. Gary Vandermeulen took fourth place this week after recovering from a nasty spill last week. Glad you’re ok Gary.

We are off next week for the Fourth of July Holiday weekend, so we hope to see everyone back on July 9^th for the beginning of the summer stretch of racing at the Oakland Valley Speedway.
