A couple of shout-outs this week, First to Bone Stock driver Shawna Randall. Shawna will compete this week and then she is off to college and Military service. The second shout-out is to young Kaiden Fisher who got torn up in heat action and wasn’t a factor for the win in the main event but was a true gentleman when the lead lap cars came by, Kaiden pulled over and let them go on by. Don’t forget this week is the Tiger/ Street Stock/ Strictly/Wildcat 50 lapper. That’s it for this week, check the Riverside Speedway and Adventure park website for everything that’s happening. Hope to see you there, Saturday, June 13, 2020.
