A memorial for Jerry Frederickson, 58, is held at the Magic Valley Speedway Saturday, May 5, 2018, in Twin Falls. According to his obituary in the Times-News, He and his wife raced together at the Magic Valley Speedway for several years. She would like to thank their racing family for all of the help they have given them over the years, especially after his passing.
Mitch Pehrson says, “On that night it was kinda crazy because that was the night I got my first win for this year and that was kinda symbolic itself because Jerry Fredrickson had just past away, he ran the 18 as well and he was always that happy guy that came to see you. It didn’t matter how bad your day was, he always had a smile on his face. I told myself, ‘you know there’s gotta be an 18 in victory lane, well in the street stock race, one of Jerry’s friends ran his car and he wasn’t able to get it done, he had a flat tire or something that came up and took him out of it. And (in my race) there was a battle, I remember for a little bit with me
