Cottage Grove, Oregon- The Wild West Modified Shootout was back in the state of Oregon, after spending the night before in California, on Monday June 13th for the third round of the tour. Cottage Grove Speedway would be the host and produce some excellent racing for the fans in attendance. Forty drivers would make the journey to the ¼-mile clay oval representing the states of Oregon, Washington, California, Montana, North Dakota, Colorado, and North Carolina as well as the Canadian province of British Columbia.

Lakewood, Colorado’s Tripp Gaylord would take full advantage of his pole starting position to get to the front early in the main event. Gaylord would master the middle of the race track, in only his first visit, and keep all challengers at bay for much of the race. Unfortunately, he wouldn’t be able to develop a large lead due to several cautions occurring in the first half of the race.

Despite the yellows the young Gaylord would be good enough on the restarts to maintain the lead and go to work on creating distance between himself and second place. But that second place car was the winner from the night before, Kellen Chadwick. Chadwick, of Oakley, California would search high and low to try and find a way around the leader but each time Gaylord would get away.

Eventually Chadwick was able to pull level with Gaylord after a lap twenty-six restart for his first opportunity to get around the Coloradan. Kellen was able to finesse the throttle on the bottom of the track to get in front of Gaylord on lap twenty-seven. From there on out Chadwick would cruise to the rest of the distance to win his second straight Wild West Modified Shootout event of his career.

Tripp Gaylord would cross the wire in second but unfortunately was too light at the scales during the post-race inspection resulting in a disqualification. Tripp’s older brother Ryan, also out of Lakewood, Colorado, would inherit second and Albany’s Bricen James finished third. Fourth place belonged to Jesse Williamson of Eugene while the top five finishing order was completed by Corbett’s Collen Winebarger.

Two B-Mains were ran earlier in the night and they were won by Danny Lauer of Nipomo, California and Lance Mari from Imperial, California. In the Last Chance Qualifier Sweet Home’s Brian Thompson would be the top finisher.
