CHICO, Calif. — Justin Sanders won the 30-lap 410 sprint car main event Friday night at the Silver Dollar Speedway on night one of the Mini Gold Cup.
It was Sanders’ his 15th career victory at Chico.
It was an entertaining 30-lap sprint car main event for the fans. Chance Grasty kept Sanders honest during the “cowboy up” style racing surface. While Sanders led the first six laps, Grasty capitalized on a mistake from Sanders, and took the lead on lap seven.
It was short lived, as on lap nine Sanders took the lead back. Sanders would lead the next 20 laps without giving up the lead. Grasty was solid and kept veteran drivers behind him to finish second.
Shane Golobic raced his way into third by lap 19. He is always so consistent at Chico and finished third. Dominic Scelzi started in fifth. He soon fell to sixth place for the first 20 laps. With 10 to go, Scelzi got back on the wheel and finished fourth. Rounding out the top five was 14th-place starting Andy Forsberg.
