White City, Oregon- Southern Oregon Speedway returned for the final leg of the Super Showdown weekend on Saturday, August 13th. The Super Late Models would be battling for one of the most significant paying events in the Pacific Northwest. In addition, the IMCA Modifieds, IMCA Northern SportMods, and Mini Stocks would also be on hand.
Preston Luckman would be the master of the weekend by winning night two in the Super Late Model division. The Coos Bay driver won the previous night and took home some big money and trophies. Lebanon’s McLain Beaudoin beat out Joey Tanner from Portland, racing for the Mitchell family, for second. Miles Deubert held off Medford veteran Rich McCoy to end the race fourth.

Preston Luckman, pulling double duty, was the runner-up over Keno driver Jeffrey Hudson, racing for car owner Don Roemer. Paul Culp of Creswell and Central Point’s Jesse Bailey was the balance of the top five in fourth and fifth.
For the IMCA Northern SportMods, Matt Sanders hit pay dirt. It was the second time that the Brookings driver finished in first place at Southern Oregon in 2022. Californians Ethan Killingsworth from Yreka and Gazelle’s Jace Wright were second and third. Ryan Peery, also of Yreka, hit the wire fourth over fifth finishing Isaac Sanders from Brookings.
