Banks, Oregon- It has been some time since Sunset Speedway Park has last heard the roar of the engines. Last weekend was an off week due to Labor Day weekend while the week before was canceled due to weather. Saturday September 12th will be the first race since August 22nd at the “Banks Bullring” and it is sure to be a good one, so don't miss it as there are just two events left in 2015. The Budweiser IMCA Modified Mayhem 100 will have the Budweiser IMCA Modifieds headline the card. Also racing is the IMCA Sport Mods, Street Stocks, and both classes of Micro Sprints.
