Come Celebrate Easter This Friday Night at the Silver Dollar Speedway
APRIL 2, 2007 --- The 2007 Feather Falls Casino / Hoosier Race Tire / Coors point championship season continues this Friday night, April 6, at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico.  Four racing divisions including the 410 sprint cars, pure stocks, dwarf cars and wingless sprints will compete during point’s race number two.  Ashley Furniture Home Stores will serve as the nights sponsor and will help push the 410-sprint car main event winners check to $2,000.  Ashley Furniture Home Stores will also conduct a drawing for a free bed that one lucky fan will win at the races.  Ashley Furniture will sponsor four other nights this year at the racetrack.  We want to thank Robert and Vera Myers, owners of the popular stores, for their continued support of dirt track racing and Silver Dollar Speedway.   

The night will also be geared towards children.  Kids under the age of 11 will be admitted free.  During the racing intermission, the gates will be opened and the kids will hunt for Easter Eggs in the infield of the speedway.  If the infield is not usable, then the hunt will take place behind the main grandstand. 

Front grandstand gate will open at 6 pm.  Sprint car qualifying is slated to start at 7 pm with racing to follow.  Adult general grandstand admission is $10.00.  Juniors and seniors are $8.00 while children 11 and under are free.  Pit gate will open at 4 pm.   

 

Chico’s Fast Eddy Lewis needs to find some racing luck.  The driver of the Ashley Furniture Home Stores #7x has been involved in two big-time wrecks at the speedway this season.  Last Friday night Lewis was involved in a hair raising high-speed crash down the back straight.  He was uninjured but the car was destroyed.  Lewis and Ashley Furniture Home Stores are entering their third season of racing together.  The team is led by veteran crew chief Rod Fauver.  The team’s race shop is located in a spacious building on the North End of Chico.  Hopefully the luck will turn around and good things will happen for this team on Friday night.  You can visit the Ashley Furniture Home Stores web site by following www.ashleyhomestorenorcal.com/.   

 

Chico’s Jonathan Allard won an exciting 25-lap sprint car main event this past Friday night.  Allard held off a charging Brad Sweet, of Grass Valley, late in the race.  Sweet actually passed Allard for the lead but a red flag because of an accident neglected the pass.  Allard won the $2,000 winners check.  The red flag was for Sean Becker.  The team stayed in Chico after the races to repair the damaged car.  They then sleep for a few minutes before heading down the road for the next night’s race at Tulare, CA.  Placerville’s Andy Gregg was spectacular during qualifying and beat out the other 26 drivers to earn his first fast time award at Chico.  

 

The pure stock division will make their first appearance of 2007 at the speedway this Friday night. 

 

Joining the racing action will be the traveling Dwarf Car division.  You can visit their site for more information at http://www.dwarfworld.com/.
