Matt Speed / The Western All Star 800 Horsepower Super Late
Models Will Invade Chowchilla Speedway
Saturday night April the 18th will feature one of the biggest dirt track
racing events this area has ever seen. Chowchilla Speedway is
proud to host the Western All Star Super Dirt Late Models and the
Western Modifieds in this double header racing spectacular featuring
the hottest dirt race car drivers in the Western United States.
Western All Star super star drivers like Hogge, Decker, Shannon,
Griffen, Malcolm, Lowery, Obertello, Bartels, McDaniel, Johnson,
Nichols, Papenhausen, and Kirkpatrick will make their first attempt to
concur the newly configured 1/3 mile Chowchilla Speedway.
The Western All Star Super Late Models are the fastest stock cars
on dirt. These are the same style of race cars as featured at Tony
Stewart's Prelude to the Dream at the El Dora Speedway. These
cars are truly an amazing site to see fly around the race track and
most of the time with one of the front tires standing high in the air!
The second heavyweight class on this double header will feature the
Western Modifieds. They have completed two spectacular races at
the Chowchilla Speedway so far this season, and the huge crowd of
fans will be looking forward to round three of this ten race series for
the Western Modifieds. McDaniel, Papenhausen, Jeppeson,
Stanford, Chadwick, Stone, Pounds, Villanueva and the rest of best
will race hard to prove they are the king of the clay.
The under card classes for this spectacular night of racing include the
Super Stocks, Hobby Stocks and the 4-Banger two track challenge.
Super Stock point's leader Mike Shepherd will look to hold off the
hard charging competitors like Roy Hart Jr., Darren Thomas, Donnie
Shearer, Mitch Enos, Shane Hauseman, Steve Hannah, Marshell
Weaver and more great drivers.
The ultra competitive Hobby Stock class will feature up and coming
talent like Shannon Porter which is a mere three points behind point's
leader Danny Roe. Jarrod Fast, Stacey Marlow, and many more will
look forward to displaying their talent in front of the large crowd this
coming Saturday night.
The 4-Banger race will be the first of the six race two track challenge
series featuring drivers from the pavement of the Madera Speedway
against the dirt track drivers from the area. Point's leader Kathy
Evans is in firm control of the overall points, but can she deal with
drivers from both pavement and dirt racing, and all are curious to see
the outcome of the two track challenge series.
Pit gates open at 1:00pm; grandstands open at 4:00pm for this giant
night of racing at the Chowchilla Speedway. Qualifying for the 800
horsepower ground pounding Super Late Models begins at 4:30pm,
with heat races starting at 5:00pm and main events scheduled to
start shortly after 7:00pm.
Tickets for this huge night of racing were going to be twenty five
dollars for an adult ticket, but thanks to race sponsors Shannon
Pump, Richwood Meat's and support from Kenny Shepherd's Short
Track Management Company they are now just $15 for adults, $7 for
juniors 6-12, and kids five and under get in for free. Family packs
have been cut by fifteen dollars and are now just $35 for two adults
and two juniors.
"The theme at both of my race tracks has been to provide the best
entertainment value for the fan, and with this ticket price, we feel we
are providing one of the biggest events of the year at the greatest
ticket value the fans have ever seen" adds Kenny Shepherd.
To get to the Speedway, from either Hwy 99 or Hwy 152 take
Robertson Blvd. Proceed into downtown Chowchilla; at 5th Street,
turn to the East (if coming from Hwy 152 that would be a right turn,
from Hwy 99 it would be a left turn) continue on 5th Street. It will bear
right and then look for the entrance into the Chowchilla Fairgrounds
on the left.
