Release From www.I70Speedway.net:

I-70 SPEEDWAY (April 15th ) – C&W Frozen Vegetables Day at the races featuring the season opener for America’s Fastest Weekly race track was a warm – dry day of racing. Warm and Dry being two things not seen around I-70’s high banks this spring.

The Late Models – always the pride of I-70 Speedway – with more history than possible to recall at the high banks led off the season with a 50-lap event. Jenny White of Topeka took the lead at the green flag and became the third female victor of the night as she at times ran away from the field. Thor Anderson from Iowa – a 14-year-old ASA competitor started near the rear and worked his way thru traffic making up nearly ½ lap and moved to fourth spot on lap 27 passing another young gun Billy Crane for the position. On lap 37 Anderson and David Glass tangled spinning both down the rear backstretch. On the final 10 laps – second spot runner Austin Siebert who ran runner-up the entire event put the pressure to White’s bumper. Lap 42 saw Anderson spin down the front stretch and end his awesome run giving Siebert a last shot to overtake White. It was not to be as White took another checkered at the high banks. Siebert was second, Crane third, Elton Rust Jr was fourth and David Glass was fifth. White was the fast qualifier with Siebert on the outside.

The Super Truck feature 25 lap event saw Randy Price jump to the lead at the green and run away from most of the field.  Joey Frey and Jeremiah Gibson would have none of it and made it a three-way breakaway for much of the race with a second pack battling amongst themselves. Price would not be seriously challenged and would take the checkered followed by Frey and Gibson in second and third spots. Enduro graduates Josh Canaday and Brian Bamesberger were fourth and fifth. Price and Frey also swept heat races.

The 15-lap Dash event saw another of I-70’s famous women racers take the lead at the start and hold off a hard charging David Russell for 15 laps to become the second female winner in as many features tonight. Ladies are always tough at the high banks. Fann also won her heat event sweeping the evening. Russell was runner-up with Jason Garrison third spot and Jason Isabell fourth and Gary McGinnis fifth spot. Dave Hecker, Michael Deschenes and Steven Littrell started the season in the hole as they were unable to make the feature event.

Super Stock action saw 2006 champion Chris Reiff and 2006 Runner-up Mike Higley battle for the top 2 spots with Mark Spillman in tow. On Lap 3 – Higley’s truck went up in smoke and his evening was done. Reiff took the restart and the front spot over Spillman and held off Spillman for the victory. Charley Gravelle made an impressive third place showing with Paul Carter fourth and Brandon Davis rounded out the top five. Higley and Reiff won heat events.

 Enduro feature racing which always thrills the fans with side-by-side racing excitement provided yet another thrilling finish as Jacobee Deckman followed in her family footsteps winning both her heat and the feature event. Dave Walker took the initial lead at the green flag and ran just a little too strong as he violated the 23-second rule on multiple laps. The 23-second rule is used to keep the class competitive and keep cars running above that time. Walker was DQ’d following the feature event making Deckman the winner of the race. Walker also won his heat event. Jeremy Roberts ran a solid second spot, Mike Payne was third, Todd Herdman was fourth and Tim Barker rounded out the top five spots. Deckman follows father Billy and sister Blythe as feature winners at I-70 Speedway.

 Racing continues next Saturday night April 21st – with 5 classes of cars running the high banks.  Hot laps begin at 5:15pm – and racing begins at 7:00pm every Saturday night at America’s Fastest Weekly Race Track. Check I70SPEEDWAY.NET for updates and information.
