Banks, Oregon- The Big Sky Landscaping IMCA Stock Car Series returned to Sunset Speedway Park on Saturday, August 3rd. It is the fourth trip that the tour has made to the “Banks Bullring” in their inaugural season. Seven entries made the journey to the ¼-mile clay oval with teams coming from the states of Oregon and Washington.
Kevin Roberts took care of business in the forty-lap feature. The main event started with the Gresham racer, of Roberts, seizing the top position from the get-go. Kevin did have to fend off a handful of notable challenges but managed to check each one of them.
The only thing to slow the field down were four stoppages including two late yellows with five laps remaining. Roberts managed to master all the restarts and went on to win his second career Big Sky Landscaping Stock Car Series victory. It is also the second occasion he has managed to triumph at Sunset this year with the tour.
Sean Gentry, of Lafayette, was a close second over third finishing Jack Parshall, from Hoquiam, Washington. Eagle Creek’s Jeremy Brookshire posted a fourth-place result followed by Arnie Case, of Vancouver, Washington, in fifth.
Earlier in the evening, Arnie Case was the quickest qualifier. Jeremy Brookshire won the lone heat race with Spokane, Washington’s Ron Brewster picked up the hardware in the $200 to win trophy dash presented by Somers Racing Engines.
The Big Sky Landscaping Stock Car Series next heads to Willamette Speedway on Friday, August 30th and Saturday, the 31st for a doubleheader weekend.
