It took Denair’s Tony Silveira 16 years to win for the first time, but only one year to do it again as the veteran driver claimed his second consecutive victory in Monday’s “Traditional Turmoil” Destruction Derby, presented by the Turlock Lions Club, in the Food Maxx Arena at the Stanislaus County Fair. This year’s format split the field of 20 cars into two equal heats with the top three cars from each heat, plus any of the remaining cars that could be repaired, advancing to the finals. The two heats produced several big hits as each driver attempted to inflict as much harm as possible on their opponents while minimizing the damage to their own car.
