Upwards of 50 competitors are headed to the famed ¼ clay oval speedway to not only compete for the win, but also to win this race in honor of Chico’s own Stephen Allard. This marks the 10th year that Allard’s name is associated with this popular event. There is a new t-shirt design and hats for sale at the event only in honor of Stephen Allard. Friends and family of Allard will handle the merchandise sales. Proceeds from those sales will add extra money to the competitors on Saturday night.
Fremont’s Shane Golobic is a three-time winner of this event. Golobic is also the defending Saturday night winner. Following Golobic to last year’s checkered flag were Justin Sanders, Landon Brooks, and Kalib Henry.
