  Tanner Carrick surges to initial Thunderbowl victory with SCCT

  Tulare, CA…Lincoln's Tanner Carrick shot out front early and cruised to his first ever Thunderbowl Raceway triumph with the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour on Saturday night. It marked the fourth SCCT victory of Carrick's career, placing him in a tie for sixth place all-time with Rico Abreu. His win during the annual Chris & Brian Faria Memorial came aboard the familiar California Waterfowl/ TC Guide Service No. 83T. "Thunderbowl Raceway is always one of those challenging tracks so it's a special moment when you can get a win here," Carrick said after the race. "I really have to thank my entire team for working hard all night while running two cars. We had a lot of speed right up top in the SCCT main event and that gives me a ton of confidence going into the Trophy Cup next week." After winning the High Sierra Industries Dash, Carrick blasted into the lead at the waving of the Darryck Fairbanks' green flag in the main event. The 22-year-old pulled away to a large lead throughout the course of the race shortened 25-lap feature. Several slow downs occurred, but Carrick never faltered up front and drove away from everybody to claim the checkered flag. Fresno's Caeden Steele put together a solid outing to cross the stripe in second, followed by San Jose's Tim Kaeding, who continued his impressive string of races. Aromas' Justin Sanders made a cameo appearance in the Snow Racing No. 7 and brought home a fourth-place result, while Hanford's DJ Netto earned his second straight top-five finish in Sprint Car Challenge Tour competition by crossing the line in fifth. Completing the top-10 in the SCCT finale were Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Colby Thornhill, who rocketed through the pack from 23rd to sixth, followed by Ashton Torgerson, Joey Ancona, Dylan Bloomfield and 22nd starter Sean Becker. A total of 36 cars competed at the Faria Memorial/ Trophy Cup tune-up. Suisun City's Chance Grasty began the evening by earning his first Sierra Foothills Wine Services fast time of the year by clocking a 13.607 around the Thunderbowl Raceway. The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour returns to action on Saturday November 2nd at the Stockton Dirt Track. The 41st annual Tribute to Gary Patterson marks the season finale for the SCCT 360s.

  COLE MACEDO EARNS FARIA MEMORIAL VICTORY AND NARC POINT LEAD AT TULARE

  (October 12th - Ben Deatherage) Tulare, California ... In a typical elbows-up NARC 410 Sprint Car Series feature event at the Thunderbowl, Cole Macedo's persistence finally paid off in the waning laps after battling and shadowing race leader DJ Netto throughout the exciting 30-lap contest. The Chris & Brian Faria Memorial would be the Lemoore standout's fifth career NARC victory and the first time the pilot of the Tarlton Motorsports-fielded Tarlton & Son #21 Maxim has won with the series at Tulare. The victory earned him the NARC championship point lead over Justin Sanders, by a slim 11-point margin. Justin Sanders, who had the point lead entering the show, suffered motor issues and finished 16th. "I've been doing points racing for the last three or four weeks," said Macedo in victory lane, "and Justin (Sanders) has been beating us, so I told Drew (Warner, crew chief) and the boys, "I'm hanging it all out here; I don't care about the points anymore." "I was pushing as hard as I could and then the caution came out and it looked like [D.J. Netto] ran out of fuel or something. You hate to win them this way, but I'll take them this way." Netto was the class of the field from the pole and grabbed the early lead. The Beacon Wealth Strategies Dash winner had no problems on the open track as he successfully navigated his Netto Ag #88N KPC on the high side of the historic one-third-mile clay oval. Netto was challenged by a motivated Macedo throughout the contest and several restarts the field had to endure. Despite Macedo's best efforts trying to diamond off the corners, the leader answered every challenge. Netto appeared to be on his way to victory when the caution flag appeared one last time with only two laps remaining. On the restart, Netto's motor stutter-stepped and Macedo motored around the 2019 NARC champion to take the lead and eventual victory. The balance of the podium consisted of two drivers that bounced back after having to start deep in the field. In fact, the winner, Macedo, was the only driver to start with a single-digit position that posted a top five finish. Kaleb Montgomery sliced and diced his way from 13th in his Luxton Real Estate #3 Maxim to earn his second runner-up finish of the season and his career with NARC. Dominic Gorden notched his third career series podium with an impressive 16th to third effort, earning the Gary Silva Ranches #10 KPC the Williams Roofing Hardcharger Award. Dylan Bloomfield brought the Dave and Debbie Vertullo-owned Starr Property Management #83V Maxim to a solid fourth, chased by the California Waterfowl #83T Maxim driven by Tanner Carrick in fifth. Former NARC champions Dominic Scelzi, Tim Kaeding and Bud Kaeding were next to cross the checkered. Gauge Garcia and Netto rounded out the top ten. Netto, Scelzi, and Caeden Steele were the heat race winners.

  Mike Marlar Triumphs for First Career Jackson 100 at Brownstown

  BROWNSTOWN, IN (October 12, 2024) - Mike Marlar scored a popular win on Saturday night as the Winfield, Tennessee, native picked up his first Jackson 100 presented by Summit Racing Equipment, becoming the 33rd different driver to win Brownstown Speedway's most prestigious event. Marlar collected $50,000 for the win in the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series event, which was the richest in the track's 72-year history. Marlar led 58 of the 100 laps, taking the lead for good from Bobby Pierce on lap 48. He led the rest of the way in a race that saw only one caution flag. Ricky Thornton Jr. moved into second around Pierce on lap 53 as he trailed Marlar to the finish line. Pierce, who led for 42 laps, rounded out the Big River Steel podium in third. Tim McCreadie finished in fourth, and Jonathan Davenport rounded out the top five. Marlar's 23rd career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win was hard-earned as he led on two different occasions during the race. He was out in front for the first five laps until Pierce, who started fourth, took over the point. Pierce then started to pull away from Marlar, but Marlar began to track down the driver who was looking for his 35th win of the season. Marlar was able to catch up to Pierce, passing him with 48 laps scored. For the second time this season, in Lucas Oil Victory Lane, an emotional Marlar emerged from his car in front of an appreciative crowd. "It's been a trying season for sure. I love my guys; they're my family. It's been rough. I mean, usually, I don't get that emotional, but man, we've been through it. I knew the track would clean up pretty fast; I thought I was in trouble when it cleaned up there. I had some good runs but didn't want to be in that traffic. I finally got the open track, and he [Pierce] was struggling a little bit, so I got by him there, and you know he's tough to beat. It's fun racing with those guys. I am getting to be the old guy in the crowd, and you know them young kids can still make me better all the time." Thornton leaves Brownstown as the Midwest Sheet Metal point leader heading into the season finale at Eldora next weekend - holding a 50-point lead in the race for the $200,000 championship. "It was a really good weekend for us. Obviously, we wanted to win tonight; congrats to Mikey. He's been really good this weekend, too. Hopefully, we can carry this momentum into Eldora next week. I felt like we've got a little more balance that we've been looking for. So, hopefully, we can keep the speed going. The only thing is I should have got up on the wheel and qualified a little better. But other than that, I think we ran the best race that we could have run there. There were a couple of times I could have run Mikey over for the lead, but I knew he wouldn't race me that way." Pierce, who entered the weekend as the country's top-ranked driver, came home in third. "We have got to get better on the long runs here. We love it, Brownstown is a great facility and racetrack right here in Indiana. We were just loose, and there was not a whole lot we could do. We fell back to third and we were hanging on." The winner's Greg Bruening-owned, Skyline Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and sponsored by Truck Country, Mesilla Valley Transportation, Olson Explosives, Bilstein Shocks, Go Lithium, Paulson Stussy, VP Fuels, Capital Signs, Bruening Rock Products, Brown's Heavy Equipment, and Bennett Explosives, Devin Moran, Garrett Alberson, Drake Troutman, Max Blair, and Devin Gilpin completed the top ten.

  CHRIS SIMPSON WINS FINALE AS CHAD SIMPSON COLLECTS 5TH MLRA CHAMPIONSHIP

  Wheatland, MO (October 11, 2024) - After a season of work, the 2024 Lucas Oil Midwest Late Model Racing Association (MLRA) championship came down to the final night on Friday at the Tri-City Speedway, with not two but three drivers vying for the crown. In true championship style, all three title contenders rolled to the green of the 30 lapper from the top three positions on the grid. Chris Simpson would take the lead from the onset, with Tony Jackson Jr. riding in second. Jackson, entered the night just five points in front of Chris Simpson for the runner up position. A caution slowed the pace on lap seven when the nights MyRaceFast Time winner Kayden Clatt clipped a tire at the inside of turn four. On the restart, it would continue to be Chris Simpson showing the way over Jackson, and Midwest Sheet Metal point leader Chad Simpson riding in third. The nights final caution would wave on lap 11 when Billy Laycock came to a stop at the top of turn three. Simpson would continue to control the pace along the high line, as Jackson continued to apply heavy pressure from start to finish on the back bumper of the race leader. Simpson would make a couple of late race bobbles in turns three and four, opening the door for Jackson to charged to the bottom off the exit. Just as quick as the opportunity opened for Jackson it would close, as Simpson powered off the exit and raced to his third MLRA victory of the season over Jackson. By virtue of the $7,000 victory, Simpson would finish second in the seasons Championship standings collecting $10,000 for his efforts while Jackson takes home $7,500 for third. Chad Simpson took care of business in the finale with a third-place run, which proved to be more than enough to grab his third consecutive and fifth career Lucas Oil MLRA Championship. Both Rickey Frankel and Aaron Marrant saved their best for last, as the duo finished in 4th and 5th respectively in the Championship finale, both season best finishes. "We did what we had to do," explained Chris Simpson following his victory. "I told Chad (Simondsen/crew chief) on the way here last night after our run which was right around the top, I said we might as well rip the deck out of it tonight, we've got all winter to fix it. We were up there and I knew those guys were coming and I was struggling through those holes, but I finally moved down a little on entry and then could slide to it. I knew if I did that and hit that exit, I'd be find." "I've got to thank Tony (Jackson Jr.). He raced me clean, he could have done a dirty one on me and park me but he raced me clean, so I have to appreciate that," concluded Simpson. Jackson's runner up finish was his second consecutive podium run to end the season. "We had a really good car and I probably gave that one away, but woulda coulda shoulda," he explained. "It was definitely top dominant tonight, but we all had the same opportunity. Chris did what he needed to do and when he did mess up, he was able to stay down. All-in-all it was a good night."

Photo Credit: Mike Ruefer Photos For the third consecutive season Chad Simpson topped the MLRA to bring home his fifth career Lucas Oil MLRA title. Simpson came into the night having to finish 12th or better to win the title, and most importantly had to make it to the finish. "We fired off there pretty tough and got into third there right away, explained Chad Simpson. "I would just bounce so much across that top and I knew that something stupid would happen, or something would break, so I just put myself into conservative mode. I didn't want to give up that third spot you know but obviously them guys that were right in front of me were the ones that were on my heels all year long with this championship. They had good race cars and had to do everything they could do. They had to try to win the race and hope I dropped out of the race, so I just put myself in the position where I could still run strong and stay with them or at least where I can see them, but not do anything stupid." "We switch to this Longhorn car and that really helped, these last two years for sure. They are definitely getting harder and harder to get every year. They are tough and the competition is just that much tougher. We go out there in qualifying tonight and we're all within a tenth of half a tenth. Its just great race cars and great drivers and everybody is just right there on top of it." "It's definitely a lot of pressure off," noted Simpson of one of his toughest Championship battles to date. "This last month has definitely been the most pressure on me in my entire racing career. I've just got to thank everybody that helps me out, everybody that puts us here every week and allows us to do this. It's a lot of work and cost a lot of money, and I'm just fortunate to be here."

  Schlenk gets thrilling late race late model win at Fremont; Valenti defends home turf in trucks verses stock cars

  FREMONT, Ohio - The late models made their only appearance of the year at Fremont Speedway Presented by Gill Construction Friday, Oct. 11 and the wait was worth it. Rusty Schlenk and Ryan Missler battled each other and heavy lapped traffic the final eight laps with Schlenk using a lapped car to take the lead at the white flag and hanging on for his third career feature win at "The Track That Action Built" on Black Swamp Heating & Cooling Presented by Underground Utilities Inc. Night. It was the season finale for Fremont Speedway which honored the late hall of famer De Genzman. Missler led the first 28 laps of the 30-lap affair while Schlenk, who started sixth, drove up to third in just two laps. Missler saw a nearly five second lead disappear when a caution flew on lap 12. Missler drove away when the green flew again over Colin Shipley, Schlenk, Devin Shiels and Jeff Babcock. Just past the half way point Schlenk took second and quickly began closing on Missler as they raced into heavy lapped traffic and setting up the dramatic final three laps. Following the checkers - which saw the top five finishes as Schlenk, Missler, Babcock, Shiels and Shipley - Missler drove into Schlenk. "We gotta race with that spineless (bleep) all year long every year so he's got one coming after that. I was in the damn infield down the back straight-away…I couldn't get any lower on the race track. It's not my fault he came out of turn two behind a lapped car and had nowhere to go. He tried running me over and pushing me into a tire and I hit the tire and held onto the lead so it shows who the better driver was in that aspect," said Schlenk of his 11th win of 2024 which was worth $5,353. "I say it every time I'm in victory lane here…man I wish this place would run us every week. I love this place," added Schlenk beside his Buckeye Concrete Coatings, Terry Henricks Auto Group, Velocita USA, Dominator Race Products, Tom Finch Auto, Domination Race Cars, All Star Performance backed #91. Fremont Speedway's Burmeister Trophy Dirt Trucks took on the street stocks and the feature turned out to be a crash fest with only six of the 20 starters taking the checkered flag. Fostoria, Ohio's Shawn Valenti took the lead on lap four from Josh Robertson, survived five cautions and drove away to his eighth win of 2024 at Fremont over Robertson, Gabe Mueller, Adam Lantz, and 19th starter Zeth Sabo. Valenti's win moved him atop the track's all-time win list with 82 victories. "I know Paul Weaver (who has 81 wins at Fremont) was here tonight and I know he will be back battling with me. It's good to break the tie and go into this off-season with the lead. It felt good to put it on the stock car guys tonight and defend our home turf. This is just an amazing truck and an amazing crew I have behind me," said Valenti beside his Craig Miller Trucking, Conrad Transportation, Dave Story Equipment, A Plus Auto Center, Concrete Material Supply, S&S Hauling and Excavating backed #7B.

  Late Race Pass Earns Thornton C.J. Rayburn Memorial Victory at Brownstown

  BROWNSTOWN, IN (October 11, 2024) - Ricky Thornton Jr. passed race leader Bobby Pierce on lap 34 to win the 3rd Annual C.J. Rayburn Memorial on Friday night at Brownstown Speedway. It was Thornton's 14th win this season with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series, as he collected $10,000 for the win, leading the final seven circuits. Mike Marlar, the defending C.J. Rayburn Memorial winner, edged out Pierce at the finish to finish second. Pierce, who led 33 of the 40 laps, rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third. Completing the top five were Tanner English and Hudson O'Neal. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 42nd time in his career, Thornton earned his third career win at Brownstown with the triumph. "It's awesome to win a race with C.J.'s name on it. He was a pioneer in the sport. It's super hard to be patient in traffic. I almost felt like I was in a better spot than Bobby because I could slow down and see him move out to get around a lapped car. He would pass a lapped car but never really get out, so I knew there, towards the end, I got behind a couple of really good cars around the bottom. I felt like if I followed them and finished the race, they would have to be really good around that middle. It worked out for us. The car was pretty awesome all night." Marlar had one of the fastest cars on the track at one point and drove from tenth to second with 25 laps complete, but he slipped off the embankment and dropped back a few positions. He recovered in the last 15 laps to just edge out Pierce at the line for second. "It was a huge night for us. We have had a rough time, and I hate it for my guys. It's been a rough summer, but you know I was digging hard for C.J. I thought I put it on my lid there, coming off four in that lap. I just didn't get there. It was a good race. The fans saw a good race. Bobby and Ricky, we had a little excitement there at the end. Ricky snuck in there. It's a rare thing to see Bobby get caught up in something. I am just glad to get the 157 anywhere near the front." The winners' Bobby and Jessica Koehler-owned, Koehler Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and sponsored by Coltman Farms, Hoker Trucking, D&E Outside Services, Capital Waste, Traffic Control Safety Services, Ultimate Towing and Recovery, Rogers Realty and Auction Company, Inc. Five Star Metal Buildings, and Sunoco Race Fuels. Dennis Erb Jr., Max Blair, Brandon Sheppard, Jonathan Davenport, and Devin Moran completed the top ten.

  EDDIE TAFOYA JR FINISHES EIGHTH AT KERN AND HEADS TO MOHAVE VALLEY RACEWAY THIS SATURDAY

  (Chino, CA, October 10, 2024) After placing eighth in the final regular season main event for the Ultimate Sprint Car Series presented by Inland Rigging last weekend at Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway, Eddie Tafoya Jr. heads east to Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway for this Saturday's Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series race. Saturday's race will be a tune-up for November's 57th Annual Western World Championship at Mohave Valley. Tafoya, 27, came into the final USCS points race of the season third in the series championship standings. The veteran racer was one of 18 cars that turned up for the race at the track in Bakersfield, California. The Chino Hills, California resident qualified fastest of his group of six cars with a lap of 15.558. That was also the fourth-fastest time overall. In his heat race, the 2018 Perris Auto Speedway Young Guns champion began in fifth and moved forward to finish third. That placed him on the inside of row two for the final 30-lap regular season main event. Going into turn one on the initial start, the pole sitter had issues and ended up stopped by the wall. It was hard to tell if Tafoya clipped the stopped car or not. In fact, Tafoya himself was not sure if contact was made. On the restart, Tafoya was coming from the pole. However, as soon as the green lights came back on, it became clearly evident that he did make contact with the stopped car on the initial go. He slid back into the pack and eventually finished eighth. Despite the finish, he maintained third place in the overall standings in the USCS first season. "I think he (the polesitter) had too much throttle on the start and slid it right through the slick in the middle," Tafoya said of the main event start. "Backed himself into the wall and kind of bounced back. I didn't know if I for sure clipped him but I thought I might have. Based on the way the rest of the race went, it kind of showed that (he clipped the stopped car). My rear end was out of square and the bird cages were all off. I was kind of a sitting duck wherever I went that race." Saturday's USAC/CRA race will be Tafoya's fifth on the longtime Mohave Valley track that is located five minutes from the Colorado River and 20 minutes from downtown Laughlin, Nevada. His initial outing at the 1/3 mile banked oval ended with his best finish there thus far when he placed third on April 23, 2023. Six months later, he visited again and steered his beautiful #51T to an eighth place result. In 2023, Tafoya paid two visits to Mohave Valley. While his end results did not show it, he was a contender each time. At the start of April, in front of one of the largest crowds in track history, the well-spoken racer qualified third fastest of the 30 cars on hand. He then came from sixth to finish third in his heat. The 2019 USAC/CRA Rookie of the year was running in the top five in the main event when he slid to a stop in turn one. Being the cause of the red flag, he had to restart at the back of the 22 car field. From that point on, he put on a show, passing more cars than any other driver to finish 12th. Six months later, Tafoya was a contender again working his way into second place. However, his engine began laying down, and he wisely pulled off the track to prevent damage. Sadly, that left him with a 12th-place finish. "I don't know if it is the track shape, or maybe the banking, I am just really confident getting the car in there," Tafoya said on Thursday afternoon while on his way to the race shop to work on the car. "Ever since I was there the first time, I have had a good base setup. I just jell well (there). So, it is really exciting to go back there. I think that is the only track I have been good at every single time. I need to figure out what I am doing there and carry it on to the other places." "Driving-wise, yeah, it is one of my favorite racetracks," Tafoya continued. "You can be really aggressive for most of the night until it slicks off. Even when it was slick last year, I think I was the only one running the top until I got to the front and showed those guys that. It is fun, and it is a racy little place. Hopefully, some moisture stays in the dirt for us." To see Tafoya in action on Saturday, the Mohave Valley Raceway is located at 2750 E. Laguna Rd. in Mohave Valley, Arizona (86440). Gates at the popular track will open at 5:00 p.m. The night's first green flag will wave at 7:00. Adult tickets are $25.00. Kids 6-12 get in for $15.00, and children five and under are free. It is cash only for tickets (no ATMs on site). Concessions, souvenirs, and the beer garden take cash or cards. For more information, the track website is https://www.mohavevalleyraceway.com/ and the office phone is (928) 346-6000. For fans who cannot attend the race in person, it will be shown live on pay-per-view at the following link: https://drc.tv/. After this weekend's race, Tafoya will wrap up the USAC/CRA season at the 57th Annual Avanti Windows and Doors Western World Championship at Mohave Valley on November 1st and 2nd. One week later on November 9th, he will be in action for the season finale at Perris Auto Speedway. Friendly Tafoya is always happy to meet the fans in the pits after every race. He will sign autographs, pose for photos, and sell his beautiful 2024 team shirts. For fans who cannot attend the races, the team shirts are available at www.specialty-fasteners.com. Fans can follow Tafoya on Instagram @eddietafoya51. Tafoya and the #51T team would like to thank Specialty Fasteners, Inland Rigging, BR Motorsports, King Racing Products, Gasper Transportation, CMI Precision Machining, Owen's Insurance Services, Keen Concrete, DRC Chassis, and Rider Racing Engines for supporting its racing program.

  GUSTIN GOES WIRE-TO-WIRE FOR "K.C." CUP VICTORY AT I-70 SPEEDWAY

  Wheatland, MO (October 10, 2024) - Ryan Gustin rolled into the I-70 Speedway in Odessa, MO for the first time on Thursday night, and displayed a dominate performance over the Lucas Oil MLRA field to capture his 3rd series win of the season. Having won two of the last three MLRA events, Gustin led the field to the green flag for the 30-lap main event, alongside of Dillon McCowan. The "Reaper" would jump out front at the drop of the green, and made sure to take advantage of the clean air at the super-fast I-70 and stretched out the advantage in just a matter of laps to two plus seconds. The nights first of four cautions slowed the pace on lap eight, when Daniel Hilsabeck slowed on the race track with a shredded right rear tire. Gustin led McCowan and championship leader Chad Simson back to the green, again pulling away until Jon Binning spun to the infield on lap 15 just as Gustin began to work his way through lapped traffic. Hilsabeck charged his way back through the field after his early race caution and was sitting in 6th, when he jumped the turn four cushion and made heavy contact with the turn three wall. The Earlham, Iowa driver's night came to an early end but fortunately he was able to walk away. The nights final stoppage occurred with just four laps to go for Steve Stultz who had slowed exiting turn four directly in front of the race leader Gustin. The final restart of the night would go single file, giving Chad Simpson one final shot at taking down his second win of the season. It would be all for not however, as Gustin picked up his 13th career Lucas Oil MLRA win by 2.777 seconds over Simpson. Tony Jackson Jr. would move up five positions, and in doing so earned the Swift Springs Move of the Race. McCowan and Chris Simpson would round out the nights top five. Following his $7,000 victory Gustin commented on his first ever visit to I-70 in saying, "This place is fun, I have never been here before. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it widened out there toward the end of that race. After the race I peeled to the bottom and I had traction down there too. All-in-all it was a very good night, very fast race car and an awesome place." The biggest challenge on the night for Gustin came in the form of the four restarts. "The biggest thing is just not getting over that ledge, and letting them get under you and get a run or what not. Your definitely on the edge of your seat any time you see a yellow flag. You know you have to nail your restart and especially not get slide there, especially when the top is that wide getting in like that. All-in-all this Infinity race car was awesome and our Jay Dickens Engine ran great," he concluded. Tony Jackson Jr. 3rd (Left), Ryan Gustin 1st (Center), Chad Simpson 2nd (Right).

Combined with his runner-up finish, Simpson now holds a 95-point margin over Tony Jackson Jr. heading into Friday nights finale at Tri-City Speedway. "It cleaned off pretty good tonight and made it a pretty good race," commented Simpson. "That top was still pretty much dominate up there and made it pretty fast. I passed all my cars going around the bottom, so there was definitely some grip down there and we could make it work." "This place carries so much speed, it's really really tough, and if you don't get in the corner just right to where you can get off just right you can lose a ton of ground up and off the corner. You just kind of had to cry that momentum and get rolling and Ryan was pretty dam good tonight, but we did all we could to chase him." Jackson used as second consecutive podium run to leap Chris Simpson and take over second by a mere five points. "This was the first time I've been here, and I enjoyed it," noted Jackson. "We had trouble with the motor running earlier in the night, but we worked on it and picked our way up through there." "We heard it was fast," he noted of I-70. "But it slicked off and there was a top and there was a bottom, and that's all you can ask for," concluded the two-time MLRA Champion. The 2024 Lucas Oil MLRA season will conclude on Friday night October 11th, at the Tri-City Speedway in Granite City, IL. The series $20,000 championship battle will be on the line along with a $7,000 to win main event. Saturday nights schedule season finale was cancelled earlier in the week, putting all of the pressure on the championship drivers on "Championship Friday".

  FOLLOWING A 10TH PLACE FINISH AT KERN, LOGAN WILLIAMS HEADS TO MOHAVE VALLEY RACEWAY THIS SATURDAY

  (Ontario, CA, October 9, 2024) Talented Flowdynamics racer Logan Williams will hit the home stretch of his 2024 season when the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series visits Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway this Saturday night. After this week's show, the 28-year-old racer will only have five races remaining before bringing down the curtain on his 2024 racing campaign. 451244812_7834458623257138_2040436876729346144_n.jpg #5W Logan Williams in action at Perris Auto Speedway. Doug Allen photo. This year has been a breakout season for the Yorba Linda, California driver. After the first race of the season, he was seventh in the series championship standings. That was the only time the pleasant driver has been outside of the top six all season long. He has been in the top five in the standings for the last four months dating back to June 8th. His highest ranking of the year came in week 11 when he was third. Williams comes into this Saturday's race at "Arizona's Baddest Bullring" fifth in the title chase. In his last appearance at the track that is located 20 minutes from downtown Laughlin, Nevada, he turned in the seventh fastest qualifying time of the 28 cars on hand. He closed that night by finishing ninth in the 30-lap main. Prior to this season, Williams had appeared three times on the 1/3 of a mile banked oval located approximately five minutes from the Colorado River. His first appearance came on April 23rd, 2022. In that one, he got caught up in somebody else's mess early in the main and was saddled with a 22nd-place finish. Six months later, he recorded his best Mojave finish when he came home eighth. In 2023, he only journeyed to the track one time and placed 11th. Williams' last time on track came two weeks ago when the USAC/CRA series visited Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway in Bakersfield, California. That night, he started ninth and finished 10th in the 30-lap main, giving him 13 top 10 finishes in 16 starts this season. To see the popular Williams in action on Saturday, the Mohave Valley Raceway is located at 2750 E. Laguna Rd. in Mohave Valley, Arizona (86440). Gates at the popular track will open at 5:00 p.m. The night's first green flag will wave at 7:00. Adult tickets are $25.00. Kids 6-12 get in for $15.00, and children five and under are free. It is cash only for tickets (no ATMs on site). Concessions, souvenirs, and the beer garden take cash or cards. For more information, the track website is https://www.mohavevalleyraceway.com/ and the office phone is (928) 346-6000. Williams will get one week off after Saturday's race before heading to the Imperial Valley Raceway on October 18th and 19th. He will then head back to Mohave Valley for the 57th Annual Western World Championships on November 1st and 2nd before closing the season at Perris Auto Speedway on November 9th. Whenever you get the chance to meet the Flowdynamics drivers in person, be sure to visit them in the pits.

  Kubota High Limit Racing season champ Sweet wins Diamond Classic makeup at Lucas Oil Speedway

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Oct. 9, 2024) - Before the final week of action in the The Kubota High Limit Racing season arrived, Brad Sweet already had clinched the season championship. Now he's added a couple of exclamation points to his title while in the Show-Me State. Sweet followed up his Tuesday-night triumph at I-70 Speedway in Odessa with a convincing feature victory on Wednesday at Lucas Oil Speedway's Diamond Classic. The Grass Valley, Calif., Winged Sprint veteran led 31 of 35 laps to earn $25,000 in the makeup of an event rained out at Wheatland on June 29th. "I'm really excited that we got to come back to Lucas Oil and complete the event," Sweet said after his ninth Kubota High Limit Racing feature win of the season. "Thanks to the crowd for coming out on a Wednesday night." Courtney, the Night 1 Diamond Classic winner on June 28 before severe weather wiped out the action the next night, couldn't quite pull off the delayed sweep. The Indianapolis resident said a poor first part of the race left him too much work to do. He settled for $10,000. "I think we were a little bit better here earlier in the year," Courtney said. "We got good at the end of the feature. We went from the pole to sixth or seventh and just had to dig deep. That last yellow, it was nice to start behind Brad, but clean air was a huge factor. They've been on it, really all year. Congrats to Brad and their whole team." Sweet, starting outside Courtney on row one, sprinted to the lead as the green flew and set the pace through four laps, with fourth-starting Ryan Timms running second. A red flag came out after Brent Marks flipped his car on the backstretch to halt the action. Action settled into a rhythm after the restart with Sweet holding on to a narrow lead until lap 10, when Timms took over the lead with an outside pass out of turn two. The 18-year-old Timms had a .069-second lead when action was stopped again on lap 13 as Kerry Madsen hit the wall in turn four. During the caution, Timms pulled into the hot pits to surrender the lead back to Sweet for the restart on lap 14. Timms, winner of the 2023 Hockett-McMillin Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway, had a side panel come loose and had to restart at the rear. He eventually rallied to 10th. "We got a little luck there with Ryan," Sweet said. "Sometimes it falls your way. I got control of the race and kind of changed my lines up and tried to carry more speed. "This track's really weird. You think you're gonna slow down and get gripped up, but it doesn't work that way here. Figuring this track out, it's new to a lot of us, but it's a beautiful facility." Sweet needed only three laps to open a 1.5-second lead over Tanner Thorson with Spencer Bayston third. The trio remained in that order until lap 25, when Courtney moved past Bayston for third, with Sweet having opened a two-second lead over Thorson. The second-running Thorson's chances went up in smoke on lap 27 when he slowed, fluid pouring from the motor. That elevated Courtney to second and Bayston to third with eight laps remaining. Sweet had a smooth restart and held off Courtney the rest of the way, earning the victory by .825 seconds. "We slumped in the middle of the season, but we've been strong for a while now," Sweet said. "It's nice to get the wins. The hard work pays off. It's such a grind throughout the year. We're gonna finish the year out strong." Two series races remain, this Friday and Saturday at the Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track. Bayston wound up third with Corey Day fourth and Kasey Kahne fifth. "We've been clicking them off," Bayston said after his fifth straight top-five High Limit Racing feature finish. "Everything is kind of flowing right now and we're unloading fast. It's been fun. "We had a really good car on that last restart and had the top to myself, but (Courtney) took it away from us but we'll be happy to take home a top-three and continue this streak." Cory Eliason of Visalia, Calif., set the fast qualifying time with a lap of 12.957 seconds, just off the track record of 12.829 set by Rico Abreu on June 29th of this year.

  SCCT set for penultimate race of the season Saturday at Thunderbowl Raceway

  Tulare, CA…Fresh off an exciting race in Hanford last week the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour ventures back down to the Central Valley for the Chris & Brian Faria Memorial this Saturday at Tulare Thunderbowl Raceway. It will be the penultimate show of the SCCT campaign and the first visit to Tulare since 2022. The action-packed evening of racing is the final opportunity for drivers to get laps at Thunderbowl Raceway prior to the 30th Trophy Cup next week. The October 12th event also showcases the NARC 410 Sprint Cars, plus RaceSaver Sprints, and has long been a cornerstone on the Thunderbowl Raceway schedule. 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 three Winged Sprint Car divisions should make for a great night of racing. We hope everyone will come out on October 12th and then stay for the Trophy Cup next week." With two races left in the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour season Auburn's Andy Forsberg continues to maintain a large 114-point advantage at the top of the standings. The 48-year-old veteran brought home a consistent top-10 last week in Hanford and hopes for more of the same this Saturday at Thunderbowl Raceway. Leading Garth Moore Insurance Rookie of the Year contender Braden Chiaramonte will get some valuable laps at the Thunderbowl on Saturday in prep for next weeks Trophy Cup. The 17-year-old goes into the Faria Memorial ranking second in the SCCT points and has shown the ability to be aggressive when needed, a perfect recipe for success in Tulare. Oakley's Dylan Bloomfield, Placerville's Shane Hopkins and Roseville's Colby Copeland round out the top-five in points going into the Chris & Brian Faria Memorial. Ranking six through 10 are Livermore's Travis Labat, Hanford's Michael Faccinto, Yuba City's Seth Standley, Aromas' Justin Sanders and Mesa, Arizona's Corbin Rueschenberg.
