Rick Shafer won the six lap dash. However, his night turned sour, when he came out to start the main event with motor problems. He elected to start at the rear of the field instead of the pole position that he earned by winning the dash.

Ryan McDaniel won the first 10-lap heat race. Jerry Bartlett was the winner in heat two. Bobby Hogge IV won the third heat race.

Portland, OR driver John Duty was the highest finishing driver from out of state. Duty finished sixth after a great battle with Papenhausen for fifth. Paul Guglielmoni finished in the seventh spot. He continued racing in the main event with major damage to the side of his car. Leroy Perry of Marysville finished in the eighth spot. Reldon Hatch of Nevada finished in the ninth spot. Live Oak champion Matt Micheli finished tenth.

Heather Bartlett took advantage of an extra night of racing at Chico to capture a popular win at her home track. The Street Stock division was racing for the second night in a row at Chico. This Saturday night show was an added race to compliment the Late Model show. Angie's Poker Club was the nights sponsor and Bartlett with the win picked up an extra $300.

Jeff Olschowka took the early lead of the 15-car starting field. Olschowka looked to have a solid lead in the beginning but it was Bartlett who soon charged from sixth to second in just five laps. On lap nine Olschowka entered slower traffic. Bartlett closed on his rear bumper. Olschowka took the inside groove while Bartlett ran through the middle of the track. Mixed with the leaders was a lapped car. Bartlett drove her way to the top spot while Olschowka slipped to second. It was as an exciting of a move as we have seen this year. A yellow slowed the event on lap 12. On the restart, Olschowka's car did not respond. He limped to a stop in turn one. Before the restart, he was the point leader. Now he set helpless in turn one. He did return to the race track but just limped around the track. Olschowka finished 12th. Up front it was all about Bartlett. Late in the race Phil Marino moved into second. On the last lap it was Bartlett holding a comfortable lead. She came by to receive the checkered. It was a huge win for her in front of her fans and sponsor Angie's Poker Club. Marino was second and picked up a $200 bonus. Third went to Keven Pendergrass. Scott Rogers finished fourth and because of Olschowka's problems, is now the point leader. The official points will on the web site soon.

Heat race winners included Phillip Shelby and Jeff Olschowka.

Next Friday will be the final race of the year at Chico for the Street Stocks.
