- Empire Super Sprints Round Out 2025 Points Season Friday at Fulton
By Curtis Berleue (Fulton, NY) | With just one point paying race left on the schedule, the Empire Super Sprints head to the Fulton Speedway this week as part of the annual Outlaw 200 weekend. Headlining the Friday night action, the stars and cars of the best 360 sprint car drivers in the northeast will compete for a $2,000 to win top prize. While Jordan Poirier has already locked up his third consecutive championship, the points battle behind him is very much alive going into the final night of action. Dylan Swiernik, who has had a breakout season thus far that includes winning the CNY Speedweek title, currently sits in second place with a 148-point advantage over Davie Franek in third. Behind Franek, Jason Barney sits fourth in points with Shawn Donath rounding out the top five. In two events completed at Fulton already in 2025, Shawn Donath was the most recent winner back on August 30. Dylan Swiernik picked up the CNY Speedweek win at the Oswego County oval on July 5. Both drivers look to cap off the 2025 season with a strong points finish, as each of them sit in the top five in points currently as well.

- Thunderbowl Raceway hosts penultimate SCCT event this Saturday
Tulare, CA…The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour is set to make its annual October trip to the Central Valley for this Saturday's "Chris & Brian Faria Memorial" at Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare. It marks the penultimate show of the SCCT campaign and is the final opportunity for drivers to get laps at the track prior to Trophy Cup 31 on October 16th-18th. Purse info and more on the lucrative event can be found via www.tularetrophycup.com The Faria Memorial this Saturday October 4th also features the NARC 410 Sprint Cars and has long been a cornerstone on the Stone Chevrolet Buick GMC Thunderbowl Raceway schedule over the years. Chris Faria was an up and coming driver who was the youngest of five children to Danny Sr. & Arlet Faria. He grew up on their farm in Tipton and was known as the prankster of the family. Chris unfortunately lost his life at the age of 21 during a farming accident and his memory has been kept alive with a memorial race at the Thunderbowl Raceway ever since. Brian was the oldest of the five Faria children and was taken from us in January of 2006 during an accident while driving on a highway. Brian enjoyed helping out with the track preparation at the Thunderbowl, as he drove the water truck and the grader among other things. "We look forward to hosting the Chris & Brian Faria Memorial on Saturday," track GM Josh Miller said. "It's always one of the big events at Thunderbowl Raceway and having both SCCT and NARC should make for a great night of racing. We hope everyone will come out on October 4th and then return for the Trophy Cup in a couple weeks." With two events remaining in the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour season, it continues to be Austin Wood sitting atop the standings. The 15-year-old from Sacramento hung tough to record an eight-place finish during the most recent race in Petaluma and looks for another consistent outing at Thunderbowl Raceway this weekend. Wood ran eighth at Tulare during a local event in May. Yuba City's Seth Standley finished right behind Wood in the main event at Petaluma Speedway and goes into Tulare 47-markers back of the lead. Standley will be searching for a strong night at the Thunderbowl to close the gap. Rounding out the top five going into the penultimate round of the campaign are Bozeman, Montana's Cole Schroeder, Redding's Max Mittry and Marysville's Dawson Hammes. Comprising the remainder of the top 10 are Brentwood's Adrianna Demartini, Santa Rosa's Tyler Cato, Elk Grove's Bubba Decaires, Marysville's Carson Hammes and El Cajon's Braden Chiaramonte. The SCCT stop at Thunderbowl Raceway last year was captured by Lincoln's Tanner Carrick over Central Valley racer Caeden Steele and San Jose's Tim Kaeding. Tickets and Details: Adult Grandstand tickets for the Faria Memorial/ Trophy Cup Tune-Up at Thunderbowl Raceway this Saturday October 4 cost $35, while Bleacher tickets are $30. Senior and child pricing is also available. Tickets can be purchased at the gate on race day. The front grandstand gate will open at 4pm with the pit meeting held at 5pm and cars on track at 5:30.

- Johnson looks to continue dream Modified season at USRA Nationals this week at Lucas Oil Speedway
ο»ΏWHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 30, 2025) - Way back in March, Houston Johnson set a goal to pursue his first USRA National Championship in the Modified division. What a year it's been, with that title seemingly a mere formality away as this week's 12th annual Summit USRA Nationals get ready to fire up at Lucas Oil Speedway. Johnson, a 26-year-old second generation racer from Kansas City, has 20 Modified feature wins in 43 starts in 2025 and 26 wins overall including a Late Model. Entering the Wednesday opener to the four-night marathon at Wheatland, he holds a 547-point USRA lead. "Technically, Brandon Davis could jump me if he wins all four nights and starts like 19th or 20th in a couple of them," Johnson said. "If anybody could do it, it's him." So while Johnson will hold off on popping the proverbial cork until it's official, the journey to the brink of a championship has been nothing short of a dream season in a Bloodline Race Car he purchased slightly used from Brandon Givens. "I took the car down to Terry (Phillips) and he helped me out and he's always just a phone call away if I have a question," Johnson said of Philips, the long-time racer and Bloodlines chassis founder based in Springfield. "He is a wealth of knowledge." Johnson has dominated the competition this season at his home track, I-35 Speedway in Winston where he has 16 feature wins. He feels good about his chances coming to Wheatland, where he won a preliminary-night feature at last year's USRA Nationals and ran a solid sixth in a July 3rd appearance this season with the Heartland Modified Tour. Dedication and consistency have gone hand-in-hand after Johnson set his goal. Shortly after he and wife Cassidy found out they would become first-time parents this November. "Last year I ran quite a bit at Humboldt and began branching out during the year," Johnson said of how 2024 became a building block season. "By end of the year, I thought if I had pushed for it earlier in the season … I didn't win enough but I could have been top three. I think I ended up fifth. "When my wife and I found out in March that we were expecting our first child in November, I knew this was the last year that I could fully dive at it before some other priorities come up. By far it's been my best season. I'm a very routine-oriented person. On Friday nights, Tulsa was closest place to race Modifieds most of the year. It was unfortunate that I would drive by Lakeside and Humboldt and places that used to have A Mods. "But I put in the effort to go down there, then get up early and re-prepare the car for Saturday. Then get it washed up and cleaned up on Sunday, go to work Monday through Friday, get home from work and work on it. For me I've always put in the effort. People don't always see the effort behind the scenes. You can't have DNFs and luck is a big part of it, but preparation has been one of the biggest things and making sure I'm not missing stuff that would cost you … keeping up on maintenance and parts." Johnson began racing at 14, but was a fan of the sport from the time his parents purchased I-35 Speedway when he was in grade school. His dad, Mike, had raced for several years prior to that. Houston Johnson said he drove a Grand National at 14 and got into a Modified a few years later. He admitted to getting discouraged by his results and was about ready to give it up and seek another class before winning on opening night in 2021, his first Modified feature triumph. "I went on to win the championship that year. It's kind off weird how stuff clicks," Johnson said. "I got better at watching film, watching race videos. I'm a race fan first. I love watching racing. USMTS, Lucas Oil Late Models, you can learn from watching the guys that run those things." Now Johnson is one to verge to claim a USRA National Championship while hoping to visit victory lane this week. Johsnon's crew members include Trevor Brownlee and Tony Kromeich. Sponsors are Carpenter's Classics, Molle Auto Group, KS Engineering, Trenton Coca-Cola Bottling, Shane Roach Concrete, Premier Lubricants, Precision Performance Racing Suspensions, TB Designs and Tire Demon by Lovetap - Randy Ainsworth.

- NARC BEGINS HOME STRETCH WITH CHRIS & BRIAN FARIA MEMORIAL AT TULARE
(9/30/25 - Andrew Kunas) Tulare, CA ... The closing stretch of the 2025 NARC King of the West sprint car season is upon us. The first of four races in five weeks is this Saturday as the NARC teams tackle the famous Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare for the Chris & Brian Faria Memorial. This action-packed racing card will also feature the Sprint Car Challenge Tour 360's. The race is one of the cornerstone events at the popular 1/3-mile clay oval. First contested in 2002, the event honors a pair of brothers from the Faria family, longtime participants in California racing. Chris Faria, who was an up and coming racer, passed away after a farming accident in 1993. His older brother Brian, who was active behind the scenes at Thunderbowl Raceway, tragically passed away in early 2006 in a traffic accident, and Brian's name was soon put alongside his brother's for this race. The 2025 race was originally scheduled for April 26th, but Mother Nature interfered and forced its postponement. NARC and Thunderbowl Raceway officials agreed to reschedule the event for October 4th to start a busy stretch to finish NARC's season. The event, held at one of California's most challenging dirt tracks, has long been looked forward to by NARC competitors and fans, and the list of past winners of the race reads like a who's who of west coast sprint car racing. Jason Meyers, a future World of Outlaws champion, won the inaugural event in 2002. National Sprint Car Hall of Famer Brent Kaeding won it twice in the latter years of his legendary career. A young kid named Kyle Larson, years before the NASCAR world got to know him, was the 2010 winner of the race. NARC champions such as D.J. Netto and Kyle Hirst are also past winners. Last year's event, ironically postponed by weather to a later date also, was won by Cole Macedo aboard the Tarlton Motorsports No. 21. WHO TO WATCH Speaking of NARC champions, former series champ D.J. Netto, who lives just down the road from Thunderbowl Raceway in Hanford, holds a slim 14-point lead over another former champion in Sean Becker of Oroville. Netto has two NARC wins to his credit this season, but hasn't won since May. Netto, however, has seen success in Tulare over the years, including winning the 2015 edition of the Faria. Netto hopes his past success at Thunderbowl Raceway will continue as he seeks his second NARC championship. After winning six NARC races during the summer with Australian ace James McFadden in cockpit, the Tarlton Motorsports team will welcome back Oregon's Tanner Holmes, who piloted the car back in the spring. Holmes was victorious in NARC competition with the Tarlton team in May when he took the first of the Twin 20's at the Morrie Williams Memorial in Tulare. After piloting his family's car during the summer, Holmes will rejoin the Tarlton's and is hoping for a repeat of May this Saturday. Between Holmes and McFadden, the seven NARC wins by the Tarlton Motorsports No. 21 team are tied for the most this season with the Mittry Motorsports No. 2x, all of theirs with Justin Sanders behind the wheel. The second of the Twin 20's in May was won by Caeden Steele, and it was the young Fresno-area driver's first NARC win. Steele is another driver hoping that past history will repeat itself on Saturday. Sean Becker, despite running second in points, is winless this season, but has been competitive all season and is coming off a podium run at the last NARC race at Placerville Speedway on September 6th. Another driver expected this Saturday include Campbell's Bud Kaeding, a winner in August at the Johnny Key Classic at Ocean Speedway. Kaeding enters the night third in the points, just 23 tallies back of Netto with four races remaining. Also expected this Saturday are Dominic Scelzi of Fresno, Dominic Gorden of Clovis, Mariah Ede of Fresno, Gauge Garcia of Lemoore, Shane Golobic of Fremont, Billy Aton of Benicia, John Clark of Windsor, Kaleb Montgomery of Templeton, Tanner Carrick of Lincoln, Landon Brooks of Rio Oso, Oakley's Dylan Bloomfield and Cannon McIntosh from Bixby, OK. Arlington. Washington's Jesse Schlotfeldt will be making the journey from the Pacific Northwest also to join NARC for its remaining races. Schlotfeldt won his first career NARC event in June at Cottage Grove Speedway. FAN INFO It will be ALL sprint cars for the fans on Saturday as NARC will be joined by the 360 Sprint Car Challenge Tour. Tickets will be available at the front gate.

- Williams Grove Open Prelim Tradition Continues Friday - 2025 event to be run October 3
Mechanicsburg - As much as the J & S Classics National Open at Williams Grove Speedway deserves its place in sprint car lore as it celebrates its 63rd running on October 4 with a $75,000 payday, the National Open Preliminary race itself also has a place at the history table. Although not an annual event, the National Open Preliminary race will hold its head high and celebrate its 39th running on October 3. The preliminary was first run in 1980 with Keith Kauffman taking the win aboard the Weikert Livestock No. 29. That preliminary win would be the first of two for Weikert in the race with Doug Wolfgang scoring again a few years later in 1985. Noted author and television commentator of today, driver Brad Doty of Apple Creek, Ohio was lured East back in 1981 and picked up what would be his first of two career Williams Grove wins in the preliminary before suffering career ending injuries in a racing crash a few years later. The event has only been lost to weather eight times over the years and on 10 occasions the preliminary winner has swept both National Open races, going on to score the coveted big prize in the Open itself. Sweeps came in 1982, 1985, 1989, 1990, 1995, 1996, 1997, 2011, 2017 and in 2022 at the respective hands of Lynn Paxton, Wolfgang, Stevie Smith, Steve Kinser, Mark Kinser, Lance Dewease, Sammy Swindell, Jason Myers, David Gravel and Lance Dewease. And that sweep by Paxton in 1982 was surrounded by considerable controversy stemming from the preliminary race. The Williams Grove record books actually show a tie for the preliminary win between both Paxton and Ohio's Dave Blaney on September 17. A young Blaney was leading, headed for his first career Grove win on that night when he ran into mechanical problems as he raced off of the fourth turn toward the checkers. Veteran Paxton was trailing and gaining fast as Blaney tried to limp home and the scorers documented his No. 10 as crossing the finish line first. However unrest abounded regarding that decision and a picture of the finish taken at the line produced the next day clearly showed Paxton crossing very close but definitely first. Thus both drivers were paid for and credited with a victory and Paxton could go on to score the weekend sweep with Grove career wins 38 and 39. No driver has been able to put up big numbers in the preliminary race over the years unlike within its big brother National Open wherein World of Outlaws driver Donny Schatz is going for an amazing seventh event title in this year's race. Rather, in the preliminary no driver holds more than a trio of wins with Kauffman, Steve Kinser, Gravel and Dewease all holding that distinction. Before the World of Outlaws began sanctioning the preliminary in 1989, the race was contested once as an All Stars Circuit of Champions contest with Maynard Yingst the winner in 1986. Today and for many years now the National Open Preliminary at Williams Grove is run as a separate and stand-alone show aside from the Open itself. However for a number of years as an outlaws race, the top four finishers in the preliminary race were automatically locked into the next night's National Open. This was standard procedure under World of Outlaws sanctioning rules for two-day shows for many seasons. In the 2006 running of the event, Washington state driver Jason Solwold made speedway and outlaws history with a preliminary night win. Up to that point in outlaws history at the track, every sanctioned race ever run had been scored by either a series regular or a clear member of the home team PA Posse. Solwold's drive to victory made him the first true independent driver to ever win a Williams Grove outlaws feature main. Another piece of history from the National Open preliminary comes from 2018 when the "Fresno Phenom," Giovanni Scelzi crossed the country for an upset win on September 28. Scelzi's victory etched his name in the record books as the youngest driver ever to win a sprint car race at the historic venue at the ripe old age of 16. In 2021, NASCAR star Kyle Larson stopped at Williams Grove and copped the preliminary before going on to claim the season title on NASCAR's top circuit. The 2022 version of the race, won by Dewease, ended up being the shortest in history at 10 laps after the race was called official by outlaws gurus thanks to persistent, intermittent light rain. In both 2023 and 2024 the preliminary mains were postponed to Saturday night thanks to drizzle one year and fog the next. In 2023 the make-up was completed after the National Open itself with Brad Sweet scoring his second outlaws win of the year at Williams Grove while Buddy Kofoid romped to the win in 2024 in an event contested before the full Saturday program. The 39th running of the 25-lap National Open Preliminary gets underway at 7:30 on October 3. The winner will receive $12,000. Admission prices for Friday's program are $40 for adults and $20 for youth. Kids ages 12 and under are always admitted for FREE at Williams Grove Speedway. . Fireworks will be part of the program.

- Landon Brooks and Hamilton Racing claim opening night of the Fall Nationals
Chico, CA…Landon Brooks made the move by Dominic Gorden early and fended him off for the duration of the feature to bring home opening night of the Fall Nationals at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico. The 21-year-old drove a magnificent race through lapped traffic to tally his second win in three weeks aboard the newly formed Hamilton Racing with Tiner-Hirst Enterprise No. 21L Sprint Car. "Lapped traffic was definitely treacherous in the feature," Brooks commented afterwards. "It was hard to tell where everyone was going to go at times. Luckily it worked out and we are standing up here in victory lane to open the Fall Nationals." Brooks began the evening by qualifying fourth in Group B time trials at the helm of the Lippert Construction/ Dan Ewart Sales/ VinylTech PVC Pipe No. 21L mount. He would get the jump in the night's final heat race and lead flag to flag, locking up a spot in the evening's Dash. At the waving of the green flag in the six-lap contest, Brooks got an exceptional start from row two, moving into second and then attempted to challenge the leader. He had to get out of the gas slightly though and it allowed Max Mittry the chance to get back by. He went on to cross the stripe in third, placing him on the inside of row two for the main event. When the 30-lap feature began Brooks immediately hopped up to the second spot and then began to hound leader Dominic Gorden. With seven circuits complete the Yuba City driver made his move to rocket past Gorden and assume the point. Racing through thick lapped traffic Brooks picked his spots wisely and went on to grab his second career Silver Dollar Speedway victory. "I want to send a big thanks to Steven Tiner and Kyle Hirst for getting me comfortable again," Brooks said. "We have gelled well again right off the bat and that's been great. Thank you to Dave Lippert for all his support along with Roger and Lori Hamilton for believing in us. We have a lot of great partners with this team and couldn't do it without all of them as well." Brooks and Hamilton Racing with Tiner-Hirst Enterprise will now get set to tackle Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare for the 31st running of the Trophy Cup on October 16th, 17th and 18th. "I am really happy with our speed right now going into Trophy Cup," he stated. "I look forward to the event, as I've ran well in Tulare with Steven and Kyle previously, so hopefully we can continue that in a few weeks."

- NARC SPRINT CAR SERIES ACQUIRED BY BRAD SWEET AND KEVIN RUDEEN
(9/29/25) Sacramento, CA ... In a strategic move to ensure the continued legacy of the Northern Auto Racing Club (NARC) sprint cars on the West Coast, the sanctioning body announced today that it has been acquired by Brad Sweet and Kevin Rudeen effective the 2026 season. Founded by Louie Vermeil in 1960, the organization is currently owned, operated, and promoted by longtime business manager Jim Allen and perennial series champion and Hall of Famer Brent Kaeding. "Brent and I have been exploring potential succession plans for NARC over the past few years," said Allen. "Our primary criterion was to find a party deeply invested in our sport and committed to building on the club's history. We are confident that we have made the right decision with Brad Sweet and Kevin Rudeen. Their extensive experience and support of 410 sprint car racing are highly regarded." The transition process will be managed carefully to ensure a smooth handover. "Kevin and I are both really excited to continue our pursuit of helping and growing 410 sprint car racing on the West Coast," said Brad Sweet, a six-time national sprint car champion. "There is no better way to accomplish this than to build on the foundation of what Jim Allen, Brent Kaeding, and many others, have built over many years. NARC has been a staple on the West Coast for many years, and we hope to continue to create many more successful seasons for the race fans, teams, promoters, and racers." Brent Kaeding and Kaeding Performance Center will continue their involvement with NARC as the official parts vendor and as a heat race sponsor. Jim Allen will transition into a NARC historian role, focusing on accumulating missing information from the organization's early years. The Northern Auto Racing Club is the premier 410-winged sprint car series in the western United States. For over six decades, the traveling organization has thrilled fans at dirt tracks up and down the West Coast and crowned a "King of the West" champion.
