The best deal in motor sports will take place Saturday night at Marysville Raceway.

Not only will the fans be treated to a full night of great grass-roots, dirt-track racing, but all fans will be admitted into the grandstand­s for just $1 as four rip-roaring divisions will once again attack the quarter-mile clay oval.

The winged 360 sprint cars, Super Stocks, Hobby Stocks and IMCA Sport Mods are all geared up and ready to put on a great night of cheap entertainm­ent for the fans.

The 360 winged sprint cars will be led by Marysville’s Jeremy Hawes, Chico’s Kenny Allen and Reno’s Mike Monahan. The division continues to garner great car counts, averaging around 18 all season.

The IMCA Sport Mod division is led by Damian Merritt going into Saturday night’s show. Merritt is fresh off his July 3 win. Jimmy Ford and Howard Law are still within striking distance of Merritt.
