Billy Geyer Memorial This Saturday Night
At Siskiyou Speedway

Yreka, CA...The racers are anxious to get back to it this Saturday night at Siskiyou Motor Speedway. After showers during race night cancelled last week's show, the Calculated Comfort Outlaw Pro Stocks are back to run the 4th Annual Billy Geyer Memorial 50 lap race. The IMCA Sport Modifieds and Mini Stocks will also be competing.

The Pro Stock competitors will be running a 50 lap Main Event that will pay $1,500 to win. Bowers Construction has joined Calculated Comfort to increase the purse for this race. More importantly, they are remembering longtime Pro Stock driver Billy Geyer, who passed away in 2015. The race will further be held on a somber note in memory of Rocky Nash. Last year,  Nash lost his life after complications from injuries suffered from his crash off of Turn 3 during the Billy Geyer race. Nash was once a top driver on the NASCAR West circuit and a feature winner with the Pro Stocks in recent seasons.

The record shows that Dave Everson, Steve Borror and Jeffrey Hudson have won the three previous events. In fact, 2015 Pro Stock champion Hudson finished second the two years that he didn't win. Borror enters this race as the driver to beat after the 2016 champion dominated the season opener a few weeks ago. He can expect stiff competition from 2017 association champion Dr. Scott Lenz.

The usual cast of hard chargers includes Scott Flowers and his son James Flowers, Matt Harlow, Jeff Haudenshild, Bryan Hammond and Roy Bain. However, several competitors from the Nevada Outlaw Pro Stock Association are anticipated for the big 50 lap feature.

After missing the first two IMCA Sport Modified races, reigning champion DJ Bottoms was ready to compete last week when the rains hit. Bottoms was a two-time feature winner last year, and he's anxious to add to his trophy collection. The Sanders team will be two cars strong with Matt and Isaac. Matt is competing in a new car this year and has looked pretty quick so far. Ryder Boswell, Trevor Tiffee, Doug Franklin and Jimmy Lipke are other drivers to watch for.

After a pair of Top 5 feature finishes, past champion Terry Kendrick is hoping to make a play for the Mini Stock championship. He knows that with Marilyn Yawnick, Mike Whitaker and Chris Jorgensen around, it won't be so easy. The Mini Stock division is seeing some new drivers in its ranks. Jason Frost now has his own car as Mike Frost is this lone driver of the #13 car.  Mike has a fourth place finish, and he's anxious to make a run at a feature win. Darrick Alford and Michael MacLeod are two of the new drivers in the class this season.

The Billy Geyer Memorial Race for the Outlaw Pro Stocks is the first of several special races that are on this season's schedule, and it's an event you won't want to miss. On Friday night, the Outlaw Karts will be competing on the smaller track. For further information, go to www.siskiyoumotorspeedway.com.



Rain Claims Victory At Siskiyou Motor Speedway

Yreka, CA...April 28...Despite the best efforts of the crew at Siskiyou Motor Speedway, the scheduled four division program was claimed by rain last Saturday night. The competitors were all at the track and went through the usual routine of mud packing and hot laps. It got to the point where they staged the Mini Stock heat races, but rains came and put an end to that.

Reigning IMCA Sport Modified champion DJ Bottoms was making his season debut and figured to be in for some good competition from Justin McCreadie, Braxton Possinger, David Marble and Ryder Boswell, among others.

David Steele was in town to go for his third Mini Stock win of the season, and he was joined in competition by past champion Terry Kendrick and two-time reigning champion Marilyn Yawnick along with a host of up-and-coming new drivers.

For the Calculated Comfort Outlaw Pro Stock Association, this was a tune-up race for next week's Billy Geyer Memorial. Not only were reigning champion Dr Scott Lenz and 2016 title winner Steve Borror in town, but 2015 champion Jeffrey Hudson, Scott Flowers, James Flowers and Matt Harlow were among the others hoping to get a shot at victory. When this group returns for the big race next week, they will be joined by several members of the Nevada Outlaw Pro Stock Association.

Racing will resume next weekend with the annual Billy Geyer Memorial Race for the Calculated Comfort Outlaw Pro Stocks. IMCA Sport Modifieds and Mini Stocks will also be on the card. For further information, go to www.siskiyoumotorspeedway.com.
