DEER PARK – A fundraising event run in the name and memory of Kalispel, Montana drag racer, the late Howard Spain, was another huge success according to organizers.

The fundraiser, run at the old Deer Park Drag Strip, Aug. 31, drew 50 racers and raised funds in order to help the Flathead High School Automotive program.

“We can’t thank everyone enough for making this the most amazing event ever,” said the event Facebook page.

Thank you to the volunteers, Deven, Chase and Steve for working all day in the heat. And to the sponsors, Woodman Woodworking and Pacific Aerial Services for your support, Sculley’s Automotive and EPC Racing for the raffle items.

Huge thanks to Mark at Woodman Woodworking and his family for cooking and feeding the crowd! It was an amazing day in honor of an amazing man, racer and friend!

Post Falls, ID – Stateline Speedway announced the completion of a brand-new multi-use sports field.

Spokane’s David Garber claimed the feature race victory at Mission Valley Super Oval in Ronan, Montana on Sept. 7. “I’ve had a really good car over there, so it was pretty nice to win,” Garber wrote in Facebook Messenger.

The win allowed Garber to finish third in the track’s Big-5 late model series points, something he looks back on how things might have been different. “Probably out of the five races, three or more I should have won but had flat tire and just stuff going on,” Garber added.
