Chico, CA | Sept. 30 - Oct. 1, 2011 - It was a special night at the Silver Dollar Speedway on Saturday night. The Fall Nationals were being dedicated to Mike "CarWash" Avilla and earlier in the day a special barbeque was organized by his racing family to celebrate his life and times at sprint car races. However, what Mike would have really appreciated was the great 40-lap main event that showcased Shane Golobic and Tim Kaeding's epic battle that wasn't decided until the final lap.

Kaeding and Golobic traded the lead the last five laps before Kaeding secured the lead coming down to receive the white flag. Kaeding went on to lead the final lap and collect the $5,000 winner payday. Golobic had a wonderful race and should be proud of his second place finish. Roger Crockett was also in the mix and pressured the top two all night. Crockett finished in the third spot. The hardest charger of the night was Johnny Herrera. The sprint car champion out of New Mexico started dead last in the 24th spot and raced his way to a fourth place finish. Bixby, OK driver Shane Stewart drove the Finley Farms #77 to a fifth place finish. A total of 57 winged 360 drivers competed on the final night of the Fall Nationals.
