The first race of the year at Shasta Speedway drew an impressive lineup of over 90 racecars, marking a rare occurrence for tracks in California, according to George Wade, the race director at Shasta Speedway. "There hasn't been an event with this many cars. There's over 90 racecars in the pits today and that doesn't happen very often. I don't think there's a track in California with 90 cars in their pits. We have them... it's just awesome," said Wade.
