CHICO, CA (6-24-09) -Â Chico's Jonathan Allard sits atop the Feather Falls Casino Friday night sprint car point championship series. This Friday, June 26, Allard and the 410 sprint cars return to Silver Dollar Speedway after taking last weekend off. Allard and company will look to visit victory lane for a chance at $2,000 courtesy of sponsorship help from The Danielsen Co., a Food Service Specialist located 435 Southgate Ct. in Chico. The Danielsen Co. serves local restaurants, school districts, the Silver Dollar Speedway and has a cash and carry store. The Danielsen Co. has always played a big part in helping the race track wheither it was delivering food or sponsoring race races. The name has been proudly displayed for the last few years on the side of Eli Zuckers #8e dirt modified. Zucker is the warehouse manager and the grandson of owner Jim Danielsen.
Racing at the ASA Sanctioned track is set to begin at 7 pm. Sprint car qualifying will be the first agenda of the night. Front grandstand gate will open at 6 pm. Pit gate opens at 4 pm.
