- Ashton Torgerson strikes for first Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo win
Watsonville, CA…Ashton Torgerson used lapped traffic to his advantage late in going and raced away to snag his initial Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo triumph on Friday night. Sharing victory lane on Friday the 13th in Watsonville were Bobby Hogge with the IMCA Modifieds, Rob Gallaher with the IMCA Sport Mods, Ryan Hart with the Hobby Stocks and John Hohmann with Police N Pursuit. Reigning Ocean Sprints champ and current point leader Caleb Debem blasted out to the early lead in the 30-lap Taco Bravo finale. The only caution of the race waved on lap four when Tyler Walker and Corbin Seay both stopped with damage. After that early caution things went green the rest of the way to the conclusion. Torgerson was back home on the west coast for the weekend, as weather hampered his racing efforts back east. He moved into second on lap 11 and then reeled in the leader. The duo raced closely together for several laps while keeping the fans on hand entertained. With 10 circuits remaining a lapped car played into things as Debem had trouble getting by. Torgerson decided to try his luck upstairs and made the winning pass on lap 23. Torgerson went on to claim the win over Debem, Cole Schroeder, fast qualifier and Dash winner Jake Haulot, and Jennifer Osborne. The IMCA Modified feature showcased some wild moments throughout the 25 lap contest. Jonathan Hagio of Prunedale claimed the early lead and held command over much of the contest. The action behind him though remained hot and heavy. Katelyn Robertson and Jim Pettit II put on an excellent show while racing for the runner up spot over several laps. On lap 17 however, Pettit exited with issues over turn one and Robertson had a fire develop under the hood of her machine, which put her out of contention. Hogge then found himself in second and began to charge around the high side of the well-prepared bullring. After hounding Hagio the Salinas legend was able to rocket by and take over the lead with five laps left. Hogge went on to claim his fourth win of the year over Hagio, Matt Kampfraat, Raymond Keldsen Jr and Todd Hermosillo. The IMCA Sport Mods once again brought out the best car count of the night with 16 total racers on hand. A trio of different leaders were seen in another outstanding main event. Jim DiGiovanni led the first couple circuits, before Max Bagget made the move around him on lap three. San Jose's Rob Gallaher showed that he would not be denied on this night though. The driver of the X mount blasted into the top spot on lap six and never looked back, even despite a green, white, checkered restart that was needed. Danny Wagner and Bo Crebs stayed close, but Gallaher scored the win at the Keith Trusso checkered flag. Wagner, Crebs, Trevor Clymens and DiGiovanni completed the top five at the finish. The Hobby Stock feature was a battle of attrition that saw five different leaders during it. Several cautions and issues for drivers slowed things down, forcing the race to be cut short and go 15 laps. Lilly Mead, Joe Gallaher, Bobby Gallaher and Cody Keldsen all spent time out front in the main event. Point leader Ryan Hart started dead last and weaved through all the chaos to grab the lead on lap 10. The Dos Palos racer then pulled away to claim his third win of the season. Adriane Frost, Wayne Reeder, Bobby Gallaher and Sam Kennedy finished behind him. John Hohmann looked to be on way to an easy victory with the Police N Pursuit division but had to fend off a very fast Ben Standin and AJ Waltrip over the closing stages. The top three cars bunched up over the final few circuits and kept fans on the edge of their seats. Hohmann hung tough though and crossed under the checkered for the exciting triumph over Standin and Waltrip. Ocean Speedway returns to action this coming Friday June 20th with another round of Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo racing plus IMCA Mods and Sport Mods, Hobby Stocks, Four Bangers and Dwarf Cars.

- McFADDEN IS RED HOT; PICKS OFF ANOTHER NARC VICTORY AT WILLAMETTE
(6/14/25 - Andrew Kunas) Lebanon, OR ... James McFadden continued his dominance of the Fastest Five Days in Motorsports on Saturday night when he captured his third NARC 410 sprint car main event in four days at Willamette Speedway. Starting alongside pole-sitter Robbie Price, the Australian star took the lead on the start and immediately rocketed off to large advantage, and in just four laps was in heavy traffic during a 25-lap feature that was caution free. At times, McFadden would easily slice and dice his way by slower cars while Dominic Scelzi, who had worked his way by Price for second, tried to work his way up. At times though, traffic got difficult to navigate for McFadden, and on Lap 16, Scelzi suddenly had a chance to pounce. McFadden slid up high coming through Turns 1 and 2 passing cars and losing speed, and Scelzi briefly scooted by on the bottom. McFadden turned his car back down the hill, almost contacting Scelzi but getting a run back inside him and retaking the lead down the back stretch. After the close call with Scelzi, McFadden found another gear it seemed like and drove away in the closing laps, taking the win aboard the American Rock & Rent-sponsored Tarlton Motorsports No. 21 Kistler-powered Maxim. Like he did Wednesday at Southern Oregon Speedway and Thursday at Douglas County Dirt Track, McFadden celebrated in front of the fans with his patented "Shoey," a drink of beer from a shoe atop his car. "Honestly, that was the hardest race I've ever raced through with lapped traffic. They had no idea where they were going, I had no idea where they were going, and that made me had no idea where I was going," McFadden jokingly said about battling the traffic in a race that lasted only six and a half minutes. "It was like swatting flies out there in Australia for a while. It's really hard to control a race like that. You have to push hard, but if you push too hard you can run in the back of guys and I almost did that a couple of times. Dominic showed a nose, so I had to step a gear up." McFadden also praised the track conditions after an extensive rework of the clay oval after heat races. "That track turned out really cool, turned out really fun. Thanks to all the fans for sticking around while they (worked) to get us a really good track." McFadden again praised his crew, including Tom and Tommy Tarlton. McFadden had never driven the Tarlton Motorsports car before Wednesday. Three wins and a sixth have their finishes in four races this week. Scelzi finished second aboard the Red Rose Transportation-sponsored Scelzi Enterprises No. 41 Kistler-powered Maxim. It was Scelzi's third podium finish of the week, and he has finished in the Top 5 in all four races so far in the Fastest Five Days in Motorsports. After losing the runner-up spot to Scelzi early in the race, Robbie Price ran third for the rest of the race and finished there aboard the Malahat Auto Recycling-sponsored Rob & Lee Leighton No. 21p Shark-powered Maxim, this coming a year after Price won his first NARC race at Willamette. Max Mittry had one of his best finishes of the season, taking forth aboard the Shasta Realty Group-sponsored Mittry Motorsports No. 2xm Shark-powered KPC. Bud Kaeding turned in a fifth-place finish aboard the Alviso Rock-sponsored BK Motorsports No. 29 Shaver-powered Maxim. Justin Sanders, who had podium finishes each of the first three nights in Oregon, finished sixth. Tyler Thompson, Tanner Holmes, Joel Meyers Jr and Caeden Steele rounded out the Top 10. Heat races earlier in the evening were won by Scelzi, Sanders and Thompson. Price won the Beacon Wealth Strategies - Raymond James Trophy Dash to secure the pole position for the main event. McFadden paced the 24-car field in Automotive Racing Products Qualifying with a time of 11.907 seconds around the 1/3-mile clay oval.

- EDDIE TAFOYA JR. SCORES ANOTHER TOP-10 FINISH AT BAKERSFIELD
Chino, CA - June 12, 2025 — Eddie Tafoya Jr. turned in another solid performance last Saturday night, recording a top-10 finish in his first Ultimate Sprint Car Series start of 2025 in the Salute to Bob Vermeer and Narcie Ferriera on the Bakersfield Speedway at Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway. The Chino Hills, California driver, who placed third in the USCS championship standings in 2024, steered his eye-catching #51T sprint car to a hard-earned ninth-place finish in the talent-packed 30-lap main event. It was the second straight ninth-place finish dating back to the Salute to Indy at Perris Auto Speedway on Memorial Day weekend. A strong field of 33 competitors signed in for the event on the recently revamped clay oval. In qualifying, Tafoya stopped the clock at 16.888 seconds, placing him third in his group and 12th overall on the night. Lining up on the inside of row two for his eight-lap heat race, the 27-year-old racer quickly moved into second place on lap one and held the position to the checkered flag, securing a direct transfer to the A-Main. Starting ninth in the 24-car feature, Tafoya charged as high as sixth during a chaotic early stretch as drivers fiercely battled for position. Throughout the race—interrupted by four caution periods—he stayed inside the top 10 and ultimately finished ninth. The performance marked his fourth top-10 result in the past seven races. Tafoya will take this weekend off but is set to return to action on Saturday, June 21st, when the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series visits his home track, Perris Auto Speedway Fans can follow Tafoya on Instagram eddietafoya51. Tafoya and the #51T team would like to thank Specialty Fasteners, BR Motorsports, King Racing Products, Gasper Transportation, CMI Precision Machining, Owen's Insurance Services, Keen Concrete, DRC Chassis, and Rider Racing Engines for supporting their 2025 racing endeavors.

- JESSE SCHLOTFELDT BAGS FIRST NARC WIN AT COTTAGE GROVE
Jesse Schlotfeldt scored the biggest win of his career when he earned his first career NARC 410 sprint car main event victory, taking the checkered flag in Friday's Fastest Five Days in Motorsports checkered flag at Cottage Grove Speedway. It did not come easy for Schlotfeldt, who had to fight his way through traffic throughout the 30-lap event. Starting alongside pole sitter Tanner Holmes, Schlotfeldt got the better start on the green flag and immediately took the lead. He put distance between himself and Holmes in the opening laps but soon found himself in traffic that was at times heavy and also holding him up. As the laps ticked away, Holmes on numerous instances closed in as Schlotfeldt struggled at times to pass slower cars but couldn't make anything happen at first. As they completed the 24th lap at the line, Holmes had a run off of Turn 4 and Schlotfeldt slapped the wall as they approached Turn 1. Holmes threw it down low and moved up to briefly take the top spot, but Schlotfeldt had gathered himself back up and immediately turned his car back down off of Turn 2 as Holmes drifted up, retaking the lead down the back stretch. Holmes then slapped the front stretch wall himself on the next lap, and Schlotfeldt remained up front. Thanks to a late caution, Schlotfeldt had a clear track in front of him for a few more laps, and only had one slow car trying clear on the next to last lap on his way to his first NARC win aboard the Grinder's Automotive & Marine-sponsored JRS Motorsports No. 21s Shark-powered Triple X. "It feels good to finally click off the first win in the NARC series, and first win at (Cottage Grove) too. I've had a lot of bad luck here, wrecking some cars here. I'm glad I couldn't (finally) put it up front for my boys," said Schlotfeldt, who was happy to get the NARC victory but also to shake off his Cottage Grove jinx. He praised his crew for his car's performance as well. "The car was on rails. I smoked the wall a couple of times, and I was just holding on for dear life there at the end. I can't thank my guys enough." After hitting the wall himself, Holmes lost two positions immediately after but benefited from the timely caution flag for a stopped car that reverted the field to 25 laps completed, putting Holmes back in front of Dominic Gorden and Justin Sanders who both had passed him. Despite concern for his right rear tire after the wall contact, Holmes continued to run second and finished there aboard the Legacy Builder Supply-sponsored Holmes Racing No. 18t Rider-powered Triple X. Sanders made a late pass around Gorden to finish third, giving him podium finishes in all three races this week aboard the Yuba Sutter Aviation-sponsored Mittry Motorsports No. 2x Fisher-powered KPC. Those three podium finishes follow his win last Saturday at Silver Dollar Speedway and continued his hot streak and rise back towards the top of the NARC point standings. Friends with Schlotfeldt, Sanders was one of the first to congratulate him on his first win. Gorden finished fourth aboard the Gary Silva Ranches sponsored Fortitude Driver Development No. 10 Rider-powered Maxim. Dominic Scelzi, who had podium finishes the first two nights this week, finished fifth in the Red Rose Transportation-sponsored Scelzi Enterprises No. 41 Kistler-powered Maxim. Australian star James McFadden, won the first two races of the Fastest Five Days in Motorsports, Wednesday at Southern Oregon Speedway and Thursday at Douglas County Dirt Track, couldn't make it a hat trick Friday, but still earned the Williams Roofing Hard Charger Award with his run from 13th to finish sixth. Landon Brooks, Sean Becker, D.J. Netto and Caeden Steele rounded out the Top 10. Heat races earlier in the evening were won by Scelzi, Gorden and Robbie Price. Holmes then won the Beacon Wealth Strategies - Raymond James Trophy Dash to secure the pole position for the main event. Holmes paced the 23-car field in Automotive Racing Products Qualifying with a time of 10.550 seconds around the ¼-mile, high-banked clay oval.

- JAMES McFADDEN GOES BACK-TO-BACK; TAKES NARC'S FASTEST FIVE DAYS FEATURE AT DOUGLAS COUNTY
(6/12/25 - Andrew Kunas) Roseburg, OR ... James McFadden and the Tarlton Motorsports team may have just become one of the scariest combinations on the west coast, as McFadden came back from a false start penalty and worked his way towards a second straight win to start the Fastest Five Days in Motorsports, taking Thursday's NARC 410 sprint car main event at the Douglas County Dirt Track. McFadden, who started on the pole, fell back as far as fifth in the early going, coming after he was called for jumping the initial start, but found his groove as the race proceeded and began picking off the cars in front of him, eventually challenging Justin Sanders with nine laps to go. Getting his car wound up running the outside of the track, McFadden got a run off of Turn 4 as they completed the 22nd circuit and got inside of Sanders on the front stretch. McFadden threw a slider going into Turn 1, and Sanders tried to keep his speed up around the top of the race track, but couldn't motor back by as McFadden got in front of him. Sanders had to check up and couldn't turn his car back down, and McFadden had the lead. After taking the lead on Lap 23, McFadden took off from there and won for the second straight night aboard the American Rock & Rent-sponsored Tarlton Motorsports No. 21 Kistler-powered Maxim. As he did Wednesday night at Southern Oregon Speedway, the Australian star celebrated with his patented "Shoey" celebration, drinking beer from a shoe atop his race car. He again praised the car field by Tom and Tommy Tarlton and the rest of the Tarlton Motorsports team. "Hats off to my guys. It's really tough jumping in a new car," McFadden said. "You know the rules package in Australia is different than it is here, so to get as comfortable as I am straight away is pretty cool, so hats off to those guys, working so hard and giving me a car that's great…Tom and Tommy Tarlton, their whole family." McFadden admitted to struggling in the first several laps, being upset with false start call at the beginning of the race, but gathered himself and changed up how he drove the car and where on the track, leading to his charge to the front. McFadden had won at the Douglas County Dirt Track in last August's High Limit Racing event, and added another win in Roseburg to his credit on Thursday. "It's really cool to get a win here with High Limit, and now NARC." Sanders, after leading 14 laps, backed up his third place finish from Wednesday night with a runner-up aboard the Yuba Sutter Aviation-sponsored Mittry Motorsports No. 2x Fisher-powered KPC. This continued a run of strong finishes for the reigning NARC champion, as Sanders continues to work his way back toward the top of the point standings after his roller coaster of a spring earlier this season. Dominic Scelzi, after finishing second on Wednesday, got his second straight podium finish to start the week as well, taking third aboard the Red Rose Transportation-sponsored Scelzi Enterprises No. 41 Kistler-powered Maxim. Landon Brooks, who led the first eight laps after starting second, eventually finished fourth aboard the Specified Pipe-sponsored Bates-Hamilton Racing No. 21L Kistler-powered Maxim. A night after flipping upside down, Tanner Holmes bounced back with a fifth place run in the Legacy Builder Supply-sponsored Holmes Racing No. 18t Rider-powered Triple X. Sean Becker, in his first visit to the Roseburg, Oregon track, finished sixth, followed by Jesse Schlotfeldt, Bud Kaeding, Tyler Thompson and Dominic Gorden. Following an engine swap following qualifying, Gauge Garcia came from 22nd to finish 14th and earn the Williams Roofing Hard Charger nod for the second straight night. Heat races earlier in the evening were won by Sanders, McFadden and Brooks, before McFadden won the Beacon Wealth Strategies trophy dash to secure the pole position. Scelzi paced the 24-car field in qualifying with a time of 11.889 seconds around the 3/8-mile clay oval.
