LAKEPORT, Calif. – It was another double-header weekend at Lakeport Speedway Saturday, July 20, and Sunday, July 21, and weather was hot, which left the drivers with a very hot track to deal with at the races.

The racing action kicked off with the Bandoleros taking to the track with a new driver in the field making her first start on asphalt.  

Kylie Keown started on the inside of the front row and at the drop of the green flag Frankie Pickrell jumped out to the early race lead.  

The drivers battled back and forth for laps as they ran around the short quarter mile at the Lake County Fair Grounds. At the checkers it was Pickrell taking another win on the season and Dylan Washburn taking the second spot.

In the Coors Light Extreme Asphalt Outlaws it was Kevin Bracket who started on the pole with Shelby Helm starting on the outside pole.  

Helm took the early lead while the drivers behind him battled for the third place spot. He was making away with the lead as Kyle Tellstrom was moving his way up through the field.  

A single race caution flew for debris in turn number two, and at the restart Helm was able to retain the lead to go on to take a victory for the 2013 season followed by Tellstrom and Taylor.  

In the Volvo Rents Mini Stocks it was Mike Peterson who jumped out to the early lead but Stillman was working his way up through the field to take the lead early in the race. Stillman went on to take another victory followed by Peterson.

In the legend main event Mark Miller jumped out to the early lead followed by Bill Kistenmacher. Kistenmacher took the lead not far into the race, but Jodi Snider was on her way towards the front to make the pass for the lead on lap number 16. Snider went on to take her first win in the legend division followed by Kistenmacher.

At the start of the first main event of the night Jr. Jammer Driver Derek Jones was interviewed by the speedway reporter about his last night at the speedway before going into the Army to serve his country.  

The speedway staff wants to take this time again to thank him for his choice to serve our country as well as thank all those that have gone before him and paid the ultimate price to protect our freedom.

The Jammer main had more cautions then normal as the gremlins were out and causing more accidents then speedway staff could count.  

Jones and Young was working their way up through the field and at the fall of the checkers it was Jones taking the win for the JR jammer and Wayne Young for the pro jammers.

For the second day of the double header weekend it was time for another go-kart race at Delbert’s Memorial Raceway.

In the 125/250 Ren Eberhart went on to take the wins in the main and the heat race. In the 500 division it was battle after battle for the lead with Tes Mellor having a hard day of keeping her kart on the track, but not once did she ever give up. At the drop of the checkers it was Eberhart that took home the victory.  

In the Beg Box stock division Cole Brown worked his way up through the field to expand his point lead and taking another victory for the weekend.  

In the Box Stock division it was a swapping of the lead from driver to driver, but after a spin on the last lap after the white flag had dropped it was Daniels that took the win.
