Banks, Oregon- For the fifth time in 2019 the Big Sky Landscaping IMCA Stock Car Series invaded Sunset Speedway Park. The “Banks Bullring” hosted action for the tour on Saturday, September 14th. At the end of the night, a close championship was decided by mere points.
Kevin Roberts, Gresham, once more “parked it” in victory lane for his third win with the series. All three triumphs have come at Sunset Speedway Park, and he was victorious in the previous SSP visit on August 3rd. It was also a splendid enough of a run for Roberts to win the track championship.
Happy Valley native Donald Schott placed in second over third-finishing Sean Gentry, of Lafayette, in third. Eagle Creek racer Jeremy Brookshire ended the evening in fourth while Arnie Case, of Vancouver, Washington, was fifth. Schott won the heat race earlier in the night while Gentry picked up the trophy in the dash.
The Big Sky Landscaping IMCA Stock Car Series closes out the 2019 campaign on Saturday, September 21st at Willamette Speedway. It will be the final bout of action at the historic 1/3-mile clay oval in Lebanon. The series has already paid seven visits to the facility this season.
