- Old Bakersfield Speedway property listed for sale — but what will it become?
The old Speedway, having served for 79 years as one of Kern County’s most raucous family attractions, has the potential to be reused for any number of purposes — but probably not as a racetrack. Why?
- Alberson and Wilson Earn Thursday Night Prelim Wins at Florence
WALTON, KENTUCKY (August 7, 2025) - Garrett Alberson and Daulton Wilson both started from the third position and went on to win their 25-lap main events on Thursday night at Florence Speedway, kicking off the Sunoco Race Fuels North/South 100 presented by Lucas Oil weekend. In the $6,000-to-win opener, Alberson passed race leader Devin Moran on the 21st lap after Moran had led the first 20 laps of the race. Mike Marlar, who finished third and rounded out the Big River Steel Podium, ran in second until Alberson got by him on lap 14. Cory Hedgecock finished fourth, with Hudson O'Neal rounding out the top five drivers. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the second time in 2025 and for the third time in his career, the Las Cruces, New Mexico native won a hard-fought battle with Moran and Marlar for the win. "I was a little scared after the early incident in turn one. I didn't know if the whole left front was knocked out or not. I wonder if that kind of got me all riled up, and I just thought, I'm going to go for it. Devin was building a lot of speed up high, but he started kind of falling into the exit a little, and I could just run right through the crumbs and make up a lot of time." Moran, who was looking for his 7th series win of the season, came home in second after leading the first 20 laps of the race. Moran was coming off a $20,000 victory at Florence in June. "Our car was really good, and then Garrett got by me. We had a great race among the top three. The track was really good tonight; you could run anywhere on it. We'll just work on it some more for tomorrow night and see if we can close the deal and take one spot better." Moran finished 1.200 seconds behind Alberson at the finish. Marlar was in the thick of things the whole race, finishing a close third. "We had a good car all night. I could run with Devin through the middle and bottom, and then Garrett got in there. We had a really good race for the lead. It's a great start to the weekend for us.""

Completing the top ten were Jimmy Owens, Max Blair, Donald McIntosh, Carson Ferguson, and Tripp Gerrald. In the nightcap, Wilson had to outrun the top three-ranked drivers in the nation to earn his first Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of the season. He led the final 23 laps after getting by Jonathan Davenport early in a lead-swapping battle. Brandon Overton made a late-race charge after a caution flag with two laps to go to take the runner-up spot, with three-time and defending North/South 100 winner Bobby Pierce rounding out the Big River Steel Podium in third. Brandon Sheppard finished fourth, and Ricky Thornton Jr. completed the top drivers. Wilson is in Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the first time since winning the final East Bay Winternationals race in February of 2024. "Man, you know we haven't been bad, nothing's gone our way. My awesome car owner said, man, it's time to come home and take a break, go see your family, just re-group, and that's what we did. We all went home, took a minute to clear our heads, then we came back, focused, and went to work. We had a really good car last week and a really good car tonight. I thought I had given it away down there on that cushion, but then I thought I was either going to win or wreck." Overton, who came out of nowhere before the only caution of the race with 23 laps scored, dived to the inside of the track in the final two laps, coming up just 0.212 seconds short at the finish line. "When we fired off, I didn't feel great, but I just calmed down and did what I always do—slow down and drive this thing. I just sat there, ran around, and got into a good rhythm where I could hit the bottom and then squirt up through there. When the caution came out, I didn't think I was that close; I thought JD was leading and was gone. I didn't know Daulton was leading, but congratulations to Daulton. It's a good start to the weekend for us." Pierce, who is attempting to become the first driver in the 43-year history of the race to win three consecutive North/South 100s on Saturday night, ran as high as second, briefly took the lead from Wilson, but officially never led a lap as he finished in third. "I don't know; I didn't need the caution because we probably would have finished second. Congrats to Daulton on the win, so we were third tonight. We'll try to get a better race car tomorrow night. I need to get the thing in the ground a little bit; I am just kind of wheel-spinning." The winner's JRR Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing and sponsored by Grant Lee Farms, MGL Auto Sales, The Auto Outlet, Innovative Community Solutions, Keltner Contracting, JRR Motor Sales, B&L Construction, Cheap Chevrolet, VP Fuels, and New Point Lighting and Design. Completing the top ten were Zack Dohm, Justin Rattliff, Chris Ferguson, Josh Rice, and Dustin Nobbe.

- Brody Roa Looking Forward to Calistoga Doubleheader on Labor Day Weekend
Cypress, CA - August 7, 2025 — 2023 USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series champion Brody Roa is eager to be part of the long-awaited return of the Louie Vermeil Classic at the historic Calistoga Speedway on August 30th and 31st. The 14th running of the prestigious event will mark the grand re-opening of the iconic track, which has been dormant since 2019. Roa, one of the most respected and consistent drivers on the West Coast, is currently seeking someone with a 410 engine to install in his own chassis or is open to driving someone else's competitive ride for the weekend doubleheader. Opened in 1937, Calistoga Speedway is one of the most picturesque and fastest half-mile dirt ovals in the country. Like many drivers, Roa has been anxiously waiting for its return. His recent results at the track back up his enthusiasm: from 2017 to 2019, Roa started all six USAC/CRA main events held at Calistoga, recording five top-10 finishes, including two top-fives. "It's a pretty historic track," Roa said. "In the years I've been racing, it's definitely my favorite track in California. It's big, fast, and wide—it puts on great racing. It's the fastest track I've raced on in the state." So far in 2025, Roa, who lives in Garden Grove, California, has primarily focused on the USAC/CRA Series, collecting five top-10 finishes in seven starts using a Dash 12 engine. While that powerplant works well on smaller tracks, Roa is looking for more horsepower to tackle Calistoga's demanding high-speed layout. "I'm open to either option," Roa explained. "We could bring our car up with a stronger engine, or I'd be happy to jump into a competitive ride. Calistoga is back, and I don't want to miss it. If someone has a ride open—or a 410 they'd like to drop into my car and put their name on the hood—I'm ready." Beyond the racing, Roa and his wife, Tailor, have always enjoyed the trip to Calistoga, located in Northern California's scenic wine country. This year's event will be extra special, as it will mark the first visit for daughters Addison and Rylee. "Tailor and I always loved going up there—not just for the racing but for everything the area has to offer," Roa shared. "The last time we went was in 2019 before the girls were born. So, this will be a fun family adventure having them along with us." Interested in teaming up with Brody Roa for Calistoga? Contact him directly at 714-932-7994 or via email at brodyroa91@gmail.com. Roa would like to thank his 2025 sponsors, "Biker" Bruce Fischer, Burris Racing, ALR Virtual Services, Caltrol, Molecule, and Wilwood Disc Brakes. If you would like to be a marketing partner with the team in 2025, contact Roa using the information at the top of this release.

Double Deckers - Two cars - one stacked on top of the other - two drivers—one controls the gas, the other steers. What could possibly go wrong? What to Expect? Heart-stopping near misses. Bone-jarring wrecks. Non-stop action. If you've never seen a Night of Destruction, you're in for a night unlike any other—a full-contact thrill ride for kids and adults alike.

- Extra money on the line for Sprints & Dwarfs this Saturday in memory of Don London
Placerville, CA…Russell Motorsports Inc. is pleased to announce there will be extra purse money handed out to the Winged 360 Sprint Cars and Nor-Cal Dwarf Cars this Saturday at Placerville Speedway in memory of the late Don London. London, the former owner of Capital Ace Hardware and long-time friend to Placerville Speedway, passed away earlier this year. During his Celebration of Life, it was asked that in lieu of flowers or gifts, donations be made instead to hold a memorial race in his honor. With that said, this Saturday August 9th we pay tribute to Don with additional money up for grabs to the Thompson's Winged 360 Sprint Cars and Nor-Cal Dwarf Cars. The Winged 360 Sprint Car feature is set to dish out $2,000-to-win; $1,500 for second and $1,000 for third. The Dwarf Car main event will award as follows: $500-to-win, $300 for second, $200 for third, $175 for fourth and $150 for fifth. "Don London was a great friend, supporter and a big part of what we do at Placerville Speedway," commented track Promoter Scott Russell. "We want to thank everyone that donated money to do this race in his honor. It will be a special night to remember Don and his legacy." A memorial lap will be conducted for Don following opening ceremonies, with Andy Gregg climbing aboard the Scott Russell No. 14r Sprint Car and Shawn Whitney in the No. 15 Dwarf Car doing the honors. Tickets and Details: Grandstand seating will be General Admission on Saturday August 9th, except for the reserved seats allocated to season ticket holders that are marked. Adult tickets cost just $18, while seniors 62+, military and juniors 12-17 will be $16. Kids 6-11 cost $8 and those five and under are free. Tickets can be purchased at the gate or online via https://www.eventsprout.com/event/psr080925 The pit gate will open at noon, with the front gate opening at 4pm. Hirst Home Team Happy Hour is offered until 6pm in the grandstands featuring live music with discounted Coors Light and Coors Original at the beer booth. The pit meeting will be held at 4:30pm with cars on track at 5:15. Hot laps, ADCO Driveline qualifying and racing will follow.
