ORLAND SPRINT CARS
TROPHY DASH:
FEATURE:
POINTS STANDINGS - 5/6 Brothers Dave and Don Emery started on the front row of the Wingless Sprint feature event, with Dave coming out ahead at the end of the first circuit. By the end of lap two, Greg Higginbotham charged into the lead, while Josh Jacobo was sidelined with mechanical difficulties. Jacobo re-entered the race on lap ten but continued to suffer problems. Meanwhile, Sacramento's Phil Pedlar took the lead from Higginbotham, with rookie Taylor Simas hot on his heels. Pedlar's experience kept him just ahead of Simas and earned him the victory. Simas took second with Corning's Nathan Johnson in third. Higginbotham and Dave Emery rounded out the top five positions. (It was erroneously reported last week that Don Emery ran into a stalled Carl Green and Reyna Kreuger causing the other two drivers to flip. In fact, Emery was trying to avoid a stalled Green in turn two when he was rear-ended by Kreuger which caused the two drivers to flip. No injuries were incurred.) The Raceway will celebrate Mother's Day this Saturday, May 13th, offering free Carnations to the first 100 Moms in the Grandstand, courtesy of Longs Drugs in Orland. Grandstands will open at 5:00 PM and racing will begin at 7:00. General admission is $10.00; kids and seniors are $5.00. Under six or over seventy are admitted free of charge.
