Shasta Raceway
Park Hosts the Anderson Chamber of Commerce
For the first time in the 52-year history of the race track in Anderson we hosted
the weekly Chamber of Commerce 'Greeter Meeting' this morning (June 24th). The pit
area was filled with local business persons, entrepenuer's, and civic leaders who were
given an introduction to the race track and how it provides the only weekly professional
sporting entertainment in Shasta, Trinity, & Tehama Counties. An enjoyable time
of business networking was had by all. Many thanks go to Irish Robertson of the
Anderson Chamber of Commerce for her assistance with this event.

Despite a torrential thunderstorm shortly before the racing action was to begin the track
crew mustered their personal vehicles and drove laps on the wet track until it had dried
enough to begin a great night of racing. As fan-goers began to return to the soggy stands
it immediately became evident that they were in for a ton of racing action.

The scheduled "Meet and Greet" had to be postponed due to time
constraints, so the night began with the traditional Trophy Dashes. These are four lap,
four car shootouts where the winner takes home a great trophy as well as gallant
introduction to the crowd on the frontstretch. The track's usual program is to then run
Heat Races which will determine the starting lineups for the Feature Events of the night.
Again, time constraints led the Trophy Dashes directly into the Feature Mains. Up first
were the BPT Carburetor's Pro 4 Modifieds. These cool little open-wheel cars are 4 stroke

Modifieds that run at Shasta. The semi-traveling series always puts on a
great show with lots of tight, side-by-side racing. Tonight was no exception, save for a
gut-crunching pile-up crash on the first lap, the race ran smooth and fast.
The Legend Division saw seven cars competing. It was Buddy Cox who
dominated the night with a double-header win - taking home the hardware in both the Trophy
Dash and the Main Event.
Ten Mini Stocks put on an excellent exhibition of just what these
little powerhouses can do. Nancy Wright - The RACE QUEEN - won the Trophy Dash and
long-time Shasta racer and track champion Dale Stelt held off his brother, Al, to win in
the Feature Event.
The Taylor Motor's Modifieds continued the run of nearly caution-free
racing as Eric Gannon, sitting in as substitute driver in the #18 Modified won over Mike
Wright. And in the Feature Event it was Stan Gunderson in his #64 Modified who took the
lead early and stayed clear of the hard-charging Guy Young to take the checkered flag
first. And everybody's favorite, the Sonic Drive-In Late Models had a strong field of 10
cars including brothers Eric and Steven Gannon,

and brothers Bobby and RandyHirschbock who tow in from Klamath Falls each
week to race with us at Shasta.
The Gannon Brothers were the class of the field. Sons of the legendary
Roger Gannon - multi-time track champion at the historic speedway, they have continued the
tradition of great competitors and champions. Steven Gannon took home the Trophy Dash win
while brother Eric had to battle through some hell-bent drivers to take the lead and win
the race.
Congratulations to Eric Graham, the winner of the
Airport Auto Brokers Late Model Feature Event on Sat. June 6.

Nineteen beautiful Late Models took the green flag in the Airport
Auto Brokers Late Model Main Event this past Saturday night. There was some
incredible racing as the touring series continued their season. Sitting 7th in points
going into this race, Eric Graham nabbed his second in a row wire-to-wire victory on the
oval in Anderson. Local racers Steven Gannon and Randy Houston were included in the
line-up. Houston won the Trophy Dash and Gannon came in second place in the Feaure Event.
Series promoter Mike Doss set fast time for the class came in third for the feature
followed by Allen Gibney and Jeremy Hopkins.
The Taylor Motors' Modifieds continued their points races with Kelly
Peacock winning the main event over Cody Braund. Braund has assumed the helm of the
Epperson #18 Modified from his brother Keith Bloom Jr. who has headed back east to compete
in 410 Sprints. Mike Wright took home the hardware in the Trophy Dash and Kyle Borden set
the quickest time during qualifying.
The NAPA Auto Parts' Mini Stocks also ran their points races with Dale
Stelt winning a tough battle with Ken Krause in the main event. Brother Al Stelt won the
Trophy Dash over Scotty Murphy who had set fast time earlier in the evening.
