Some racers win two main events

It’s no secret that racers like to race and they saw plenty of action Wednesday in non-points action at River City Speedway in St. Helens.

The quarter-mile facility is located at the Columbia County Fairgrounds and the Columbia County Racing Association puts on an annual race as a benefit. Attendance is free with fair admission.

The racers get a chance to run in a few races, and some even give friends and family a chance to get behind the wheel.

Still the racing was typically fierce. Instead of heat races, the racers went right to main events, holding two in each class. Some drivers were in both main events.

In the Street Stock division Jared Haynes won the first main, while Taylor Deschamps took the second main. Aaron Snook was second in one and Cody Smith second in the other. Haynes finished eighth the second time out. Deschamps was seventh in the first race.

In the Sportsman Division, Lisa Liner won the first main, while Bud Russell took the second. Liner was seventh in the second race. Clyde White was second in both.

The Modified Division saw Clark Tenney cruise to wins in both main events. Clint Petty was second in the first race and Dan Smith second in the last race.

In the 4-Cylinder Division, John Oyler came out on top in the 16-car first main event, and then turned around and won the second as well. Derik Beehler was second in the second race and James Walker second in the first race.

There was also a Women’s 4-Cylinder Division with two main events. Erica Asher won the first with Lisa Oyler second. Kim Oyler and Lisa Oyler were one-two in the second event, with Asher back in third.

In the Women’s Division race Morgan Tenney took both main events. Angie Etheredge was second in the first race and Victoria West second in last race.

In the Tracer Division, held for youngsters under 18, points leader Jonathan West won the first main event. Bryce Tenney took victory in the second race.

The Dwarf Car Division saw Richard Petty win the first race and Doug McVae take the second. Glenn Hester was second in one and Jeremiah Hester second in the other.

Drivers get back on their regular schedule this Saturday with a full slate of racing.
