Lebanon Outlaw driver Tory Swayngim ended a 20-race winless streak as he scored his first feature win of 2004 Saturday night at Willamette Speedway. He started on the outside of the front row. The 2003 Outlaw champion had been plagued with blown engines and crashes all season.

A longstanding track rule that the previous week's feature winner must start at the back of the "fast-16 lineup" saw point leader Rob Mayea start at the rear of the fully-reversed field. By lap 20, Mayea was in fifth and by lap 35 he had nailed down the second spot. Swayngim's car seemed to get faster as the laps ran down and he finished by a five-car length advantage over Mayea.

Third-place finisher Scott Byrum started third behind veteran Dave Kingsberry and Swayngim and held off all challengers except Mayea, who passed both Kingsberry and Byrum on lap 34. Kingsberry and Swayngim leapfrogged through the early laps, with Kingsberry holding the number-two spot until being passed by Mayea on lap 34 and by Byrum on lap 35. By lap 40, Trevor Glaser and Bob Boyd had passed Kingsberry to drop the veteran to sixth.

Bob Boyd, driving the Mike Byrd Super Sport No. 83, extended their 55-point advantage over Ron Burchard for the 2004 Willamette Super Sport title, as he won the 25-lap Super Sport feature. Burchard finished in seventh place. Rob "Candyman" Hoefs finished second over Ron Berry, Dennis Archer and Mike Van who scored top-five finishes.

David Cronk won the 25-lap Sportsman Main event over Jim Sapp in the "Mighty Mouse" car to extend his 186-point lead over Sapp for the 2004 Willamette Sportsman division title. Jeff Dossiere of Coos Bay finished in third ahead of Mike Wolfe and Gary Archer. Jason Sommer, Brad Landers, Anthony Hopper, Bill Gibbs and Gregg Shandy completed the top-10 finishers in the 16-car feature.

Next Saturday night will see the 30th running of the Northwest Dirt Track championship races. The three-division Dirt Late Model event will have 4 p.m. time trials with racing at 6.30 p.m.
