ORLAND SPRINT CARS
BJ Martin started front row outside of the Non-Winged Sprint Car feature, immediately jumped into the lead and maintained that position for the remaining laps, despite a red flag on the second circuit. Oroville's Doug Butterfield got upside down coming out of turn two but was uninjured and able to get his car back on the track and back in action. Point leader Tony Richards, who has won six consecutive features, started last in the field. Richards was able to work his way up to third by the 16th circuit but was passed by Greg Higginbotham on the last lap which put Richards back in fourth. Adam Schroer, who also started in the last row, chased BJ for over half the race but had to settle for a second place finish. Higginbotham and Richards finished three/four, with former three-time track champion Josh Jacobo rounding out the top five. Racing will resume this Saturday night, featuring a special exhibition of Remote Control cars. These "little" cars put on a demonstration several weeks back, much to the delight of the audience. Pit gate opens at 4:00 and grandstands will open at 5:00 PM. Racing begins at 7:00. Admission for adults is $8; kids and seniors are $4; under six or over seventy are admitted free of charge. More information may be obtained by calling the track office at 530/865-2409.
