Andy Gregg capped last weekend with a runner up finish on Sunday night at the Calistoga Speedway and we’ll speak with him about the strong effort. The Placerville competitor also moved up to sixth in the KWS standings and we will get his thoughts on that, along with much more, including what his favorite animal is that’s part of his personal petting zoo.
This past week also saw Willie Croft put together his best weekend of the season with the Cancen Oil KWS Series presented by Goodyear. “Double Down” scored a pair of third place finishes in Calistoga and we’ll get some words with him about how much of a confidence booster the weekend as a whole was. Croft ranks ninth in points going into Hanford this Saturday.
Tim Kaeding put on a thrilling show Saturday night in Calistoga to win the main event from 16th starting, but suffered through a hard crash on Sunday evening. We’ll get an update from him as he prepares for the “Pombo/Sargent Classic” this weekend.
With Kings Speedway on tap Saturday night we will preview the “Pombo/Sargent Classic” as it returns home to Hanford. We’ll also continue to look towards next week’s events at the Silver Dollar Speedway & Southern Oregon Speedway. The “Road to Dirt Cup” races as previously mentioned will include special entrants Jimmy Sills & Shane Stewart.
Finally we will have a sneak preview of the June 29 event at Merced Speedway and talk more about the big thee-day championship banquet weekend at the Jackson Rancheria Casino Resort on November 9, 10 & 11.
