Father’s Day special at Marysville Raceway

In keeping with the theme of the Father Day’s weekend, Marysville Raceway has decided to give all dads a break on Saturday night.

All fathers will only pay $9 to get it in and attend the five-division show, which will include the winged 360 sprints, economy sprints, wingless sprints, pure stocks and midget lites.

Coming into point race No. 8, Sutter’s Tyler Seavey is fresh off his first sprint car win at Marysville Raceway and looks to continue to build his momentum heading into Saturday night.

Jeremey Hawes is still the championship point leader and holds a 19point edge over Seavey.

Mike Monahan, Peter Paulson and Korey Lovell continue to add a solid veteran presence and we are appreciative of their challenging work and dedication. In fact, there are eight fulltime sprint car teams that have committed to the previous seven individ- ual point championship races. The other four are Jimmy Steward, Pat Harvey, Heath Hall and Raquel Hall.

Adam Ermolenko has been dominant in the winged economy sprint cars. Yet, he only holds a 13-point edge over youngster Cameron Haney Jr. Ermolenko has won the last three main events at Marysville.

The wingless sprint cars will be back on Saturday night. They are led by Gary Paulson and Cody Spencer. Paul Vandenburg, Bruce Morrow and

Thomas Leiby round out the top five.

The pure stocks will make a rare appearance at the Marysville Raceway this weekend.

The midget lites are set to return to the race track. This weekend we are told more of the cars will show up to attack the quarter-mile oval dirt track. The group is led by Scott Kinney, Emilee Lindgren and Craig Dillard.

The pit gate will open at 3 p.m., while the front grandstand gate opens at 5 p.m.

Adult general admission is $13 into the grandstands, with dads gaining entry for only $9. Seniors, juniors and military with ID are $10 each, kids ages 6-11 are $6 and children five and under are free. A family pass is available and consists of two adult tickets, two junior tickets or three kids tickets for a combined price of $40.
