NWWT: Barraza/Margeson grab wins
When local classes were rolling onto the track for hotlaps, Kyler Barraza was not around and it was speculated that the NorthWest Wingless Tour's inaugural sprint car feature winner would not come at all.
A few hours later, Barraza was sitting in victory lane after a wild evening to make himself 2-for-2 in NWWT competition. The NWWT midgets held their inaugural event on Saturday and it was Tacoma, Wash. driver Evan Margeson, a standout in pavement midgets, sweeping the entire evening in his first ever dirt midget start. It was his first time racing at Cottage Grove Speedway.
The NorthWest Wingless Tour's next races are on back-to-back nights in June as the NWWT's first "Summer Shootout" takes place on June 5th and 6th at Willamette Speedway and Cottage Grove Speedway. Points will be tallied over the two nights and the top five point scorers in each division will earn bonus money from the NWWT.
