By Ben Deatherage
Banks, Oregon- Sunset Speedway Park will have an incredibly interesting event on Saturday, July 30th. The 4-Bee Bonanza 60 will have thirty laps with the 4-Bee’s turning left before there will be a stoppage. After the stoppage is complete they will turn around and run thirty laps turning right. This is the first occasion such an endeavor has been undertaken in the history of the “Banks Bullring”. Besides the 4-Bee division, there will also be the Bridgeport Logistics Street Stocks, IMCA Sport Mods, Pure Stocks, and Dwarf Cars.
In the 4-Bee ranks, Tylor Owen has been having a wonderful campaign. Owen has four main event wins while Cody Jones and William Wolfe have one each.
Having an equally impressive 2016 season is Arnie Case in the Bridgeport Logistics Street Stocks. Case has collected five main event wins. Drivers that have won once include Benny Sauter, Travis Koch, Chris West, and Roger Hubbard.
