WHITE CITY, Ore. (Aug. 3, 2024) – Matt Sanders chose the perfect palette for winning the Friesen Performance IMCA Northern SportMod feature on Sherwin Williams Night at Southern Oregon Speedway.
Ty Williams reached the point at the start of the feature but saw misfortune strike as he got sideways with three laps complete and got collected by another car. That gave the lead to Ryder Boswell.
Ryan Peery started to challenge but Boswell held him back. Peery again came to call on lap eight and got the lead, but the caution came out before the lap could be officially counted.
On the restart, Peery went on the offensive but got sideways in turn four and came to a halt, resulting in another stoppage.
Sanders then emerged as the new threat. He made a sweeping maneuver around the outside of Boswell in the fourth turn of the ninth circuit to become the new trailblazer, followed by Trevor Points progressing to second.
The ninth-place starter had no issues while at the head of the pack, whether in the open or lapped traffic. There would be a late-race caution with three to go, eliminating the sizable advantage Sanders had constructed.
However, Sanders dominated the rest of the way. Points was behind him in second, while the battle for third came down to the last lap with the position going to Ethan Killingsworth.
