- Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Luttjohann showing it's never too late to live his racing dreams
WHEATLAND, MO. (June 11, 2025) - Allen Luttjohann is not your typical rookie in the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars division at Lucas Oil Speedway, mainly because he's 55 years old with five grandchildren and another on the way. But Luttjohann is doing his best to keep up with the younger competition as he's living out his racing dreams. The results are more than respectable. He's third in track points entering this Saturday's Pitts Homes and Realty Weekly Racing Series program. "It's not gone as good as I was hoping, but this is my first year in a full-bodied stock car, so I'm still kind of getting used to it," said Luttjohann, who is five-for-five in top-10 finishes, including a pair of fourth-place runs in the highly competitive division. The Republic resident made the move to Stock Cars this year after spending seven seasons driving Midwest Mods. He won a feature in 2022 at Springfield Raceway, where he's done the majority of his racing since first climbing behind the wheel of a race car in his late 40s. When Luttjohann sold his bass boat and bought a race car, he said it was his chance to chase a long-time dream. "I've always loved racing. I remember going to the (Springfield) Fairgrounds when I was a kid watching Larry Phillips, Rusty Wallace, Mark Martin, Dick Trickle, all those guys," Luttjohann said. "I just always loved racing, but ... I didn't want to waste my money racing while trying to raise a family. "After my kids got grown and out of high school, I had a good friend who raced and he died. That's when I decided that I wanted to give it a try. My wife (Serena) told me to go ahead." Luttjohann said he's done most of the maintenance on his car over the years as he learned the ins and outs of racing Midwest Mods, but credits veteran Ozarks-area racer Rob Muilenburg "with helping me out tremendously" over the last few years. "We pitted next to each other at Springfield and I got to know him pretty good. He helped me out a lot," Luttjohann said of Muilenburg. "He always told me, 'I'll tell you honest. I won't lie to you. I'll help you out the best I can.'" The decision to move into Stock Cars was sparked by a trip to Lucas Oil Speedway last season and watching the division, plus experiencing rising costs in the Midwest Mod class. "I always loved this class," he said of the USRA Stock Cars. "I love the Super Stocks also. I kind of got tired of the Mid Mod thing that was going on. It was supposed to have been an entry level, at least where they're not spending a ton of money. But it kind of got way out of hand the last few years and I kind of got fed up with trying to keep up with those guys. "I went up to Lucas on night and was like 'I want to race these.' I talked to my wife and she was like 'if you find one, go ahead.'" Luttjohann bought a Stock Car from Camdenton's Waylon Dimmitt and credits Dimmitt with giving him helpful advice. Driving the full-bodied car has been quite an adjustment, though. "It's a totally different driving style," Luttjohann said. "A modified, you kind of throw it in there and it'll stick. These cars you can't do that. If you do, it's not gonna be good. I have a good car. Just learning to drive the car is my biggest thing. I'll still catch myself driving it like a Modified and that just doesn't work." As for his car number, Luttjohann said his daughter picked out 23 after he sold his boat. "Before I started racing I was bass fishing a lot, did some tournaments here and there. My daughter really loves to go fishing and she got mad at me because I decided to sell the boat to buy a race car," Luttjohann said. "She said if you're gonna do that, I get to pick the number. That's the number she liked." Luttjohann is sponsored by KennCo Construction and Yocum Automotive. "I just want to get better," he said of goals for the rest of the season. "I have to give a lot of credit to Waylon Dimmitt. He's helped me a bunch this year, plus I couldn't do all this without the support of my wife, Serenna."

- Popular LKQ Pick Your Part Night of Destruction Returns to Perris Saturday
PERRIS, CA (June 10, 2025) — The "Craziest Show on Dirt" roars back into action this Saturday night, June 14th, as the wildly popular Night of Destruction, presented by LKQ Pick Your Part, returns to Perris Auto Speedway. Gates open at 5:00 p.m., and the smashing, crashing mayhem begins at 7:00. Fans are encouraged to arrive early for the on-track autograph and candy giveaway session with all the drivers from 5:15 to 6:00 p.m.. Adding to the excitement, the track's "Happy Hour" will run from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m., featuring half-price Budweiser Beer and two-for-one Pepsis. Figure 8 Title Battle Heats Up A can't-miss matchup awaits in the Figure 8 division, where longtime rivals Earl Cox Jr. of Norco and Jesse Gordon of Beaumont will clash once again. Over the nine years The PAS has tracked Figure 8 points, Cox has claimed four championships, while Gordon has earned three. The only other champions in that time are Klint Keenan (2016) and Roger Storey (2022). Cox, the inaugural champ in 2015, has also won titles in 2021, 2023, and 2024. Gordon, beloved by fans for piloting the Bat Mobile, reigned from 2017 to 2019. Heading into Saturday's race, Gordon leads the standings by three points, having won the first two races of the season. Cox responded with a win on May 4. Veteran Douglas Schattilly of Whittier sits third in the standings. Demo Cross: A Family Feud In the Demo Cross division, it's a household rivalry between Erin and Brett Wayland of Corona. Erin made a splash by winning her debut race in the season opener, followed by two runner-up finishes, giving her a stellar 1.66 average finish. Brett claimed victory in the third race of the year, while two-time defending champion Trebor Stephens won in April. Heading into Saturday, Erin holds a nine-point lead over Brett, with Stephens third in the standings. Other Divisions: Tight Battles and Familiar Names The unpredictable, metal-twisting madness of Trailer Figure 8 racing is headlined by the Hoffarths from Hemet. Kyle Hoffarth holds a slim nine-point lead over Nicholas Hoffarth heading into this Saturday's chaos-filled showdown. Two-time defending class champion Michael Schattilly of Whittier and veteran contender Rob Multhaupt of Orange are locked in a tie for third, both hungry to shake up the standings. In Mini Stocks, Darrin Green and Steven Green Sr., last year's champion, are locked in a tie for the points lead, with Chad Peterson of Rancho Cucamonga just six points back. The Overall Iron Man championship (combined performance across all divisions) is currently led by Multhaupt, who boasts a commanding 48-point advantage over Kyle Hoffarth and Douglas Schattilly, who are tied for second. In the always-entertaining Double Deckers, the Bug Ya' Later team of Lonnie and Cale Skillman leads the Ghost Busters duo of John Flowers and Kevin Sauceda by 12 points.

- Pokorski posts second straight Plymouth 360 Sprint Car podium run
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) June 10, 2025 - Since engaging in a foray back into the seat of 360 Sprint Car, Alex Pokorski has hit the ground running. On Friday, June 6, Pokorski racked up his second consecutive podium showing behind the wheel of his Akright Auto-backed No. 4 machine in Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car action at The Plymouth Dirt Track. Before a sellout crowd on hand to witness the return of the NOS Energy Drink World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series to The Plymouth Dirt Track for the first time in 20 years, Pokorski opened the night by qualifying fourth in the 22-car PDTR 360 Sprint Car field with a lap of 13.068 seconds. After placing fourth in the third PDTR 360 Sprint Car heat race, the fifth-year Sprint Car racer earned the 10th starting spot in the 25-lap main event. The first 22 laps of the event included fourth caution flags, which left Pokorski fifth in the running order for the final restart of the race. The West Bend native used a strong restart to vault past Brandon Berth and Tristan Furseth along the high groove of the well-manicured racing surface. Pokorski maintained the third spot in the final circuits to secure his second straight third-place run in PDTR 360 Sprint Car competition. Pokorski will compete with the Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Cars again this Saturday, June 14, at The Plymouth Dirt Track.

- Petaluma Speedway welcomes SCCT for Wings Over Wine Country this Saturday
Petaluma, CA…The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour campaign rolls on with its first appearance of the season at the cool confines of Petaluma Speedway this Saturday June 14th. The show dubbed as "Wings Over Wine Country" marks the fifth event for the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour this year. It's the first of two season stops at Petaluma Speedway, with a return visit occurring for the annual Adobe Cup in September. Please note the facility features an earlier start time, with the Pit Meeting at 3:45pm and cars on track at 4pm. "We look forward to having the Sprint Car Challenge Tour here at Petaluma Speedway on Saturday," commented track Promoter Rick Faeth. "It will be our first traveling Winged Sprint Car show of the season, and I know our fans are hungry for it. Hopefully everyone can come out and join us for the night." The show at Sonoma County's longest running entertainment venue is the final SCCT race prior to Western Sprint Tour Speedweek, which gets underway on July 18th in Chico. Wings Over Wine Country this Saturday will award $3,000-to-win/ $400-to-start the Shop Kyle Larson main event. Petaluma Speedway is always a welcome stop for race fans around Northern California. The 3/8 mile clay oval routinely yields thrilling wheel-to-wheel competition, as lapped traffic can create some of the most hectic action of any venue on tour. Auburn's Andy Forsberg is the most recent winner in Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour competition, having snagged the Davy Thomas Memorial on May 30th. The two-time SCCT champion also claimed the Adobe Cup at Petaluma Speedway last September in Petaluma. "I always enjoy going to Petaluma Speedway and hope to see a full house on Saturday with the Sprint Car Challenge Tour," commented Forsberg. "We've been running well, which certainly gives me confidence going into the night. Petaluma only holds Winged Sprint Car races on a limited basis nowadays so that always makes it special to get down there." More drivers looking to take home the top prize will include Suisun City's Chance Grasty, Sacramento's Austin Wood, Yuba City's Seth Standley, Montana racer Cole Schroeder, Marysville's Dawson and Carson Hammes, Livermore's Travis Labat, Cotati's Jake Haulot, Brentwood's Adriana Demartini, Dunnigan's Luke Hayes and others. Tickets and Details: Grandstand seating is general admission this Saturday June 14th at Petaluma Speedway. Adult tickets cost $25; while seniors 65 and older, juniors ages 12-16 and military are $22.

- Franek Wins Second Straight Julia Horton Memorial for $4,000 at Freedom
By Curtis Berleue (Delevan, NY) | For the second straight year, it was Davie Franek sitting in victory lane on the front stretch at Freedom Motorsports Park in Empire Super Sprints competition. Earning $4,000 for his efforts, Franek backed up his 2024 performance in the Julia Horton Memorial on Saturday Night. By virtue of drawing the Pinnacle Pole Award, Franek led the field to green alongside of Jared Zimbardi. Using the high side of the speedway, Zimbardi was able to hold pace with Franek through turns one and two, and by the time the duo got to turn four, Zimbardi had cleared Franek for sole possession of the lead. Over the next handful of laps, Zimbardi led Franek, Jason Barney Jordan Thomas and Matt Farnham. Just as Zimbardi reached lap traffic, the red flag flew for Evan Reynolds who had flipped in turn four. On the ensuing restart, Zimbardi chose the high line and was able to maintain the lead. Just a few laps later, another yellow meant another restart, and a similar outcome as again Zimbardi was able to maintain the lead on the high side. On the third restart shortly after, however, Franek was able to keep pace enough through turns one and two to clear Zimbardi and take the lead. Following along in Franek's tire tracks was Jason Barney, who took over second position. Through one more restart, the running order at the front of the field remained the same and Franek took the checkered flag first, winning the Julia Horton Memorial. "With a full fuel load, we weren't that good at the beginning of the race," said Franek in victory lane. "Once I got by Jared, I started pacing myself pretty decent. I knew if I just kept my speed up I would be good." "The track really came around here at the end, you could be top, middle, bottom. It was really, really good." Jason Barney came home in second, his best finish thus far in 2025. "All those late cautions definitely didn't help us," said Barney. "I got along side of him (Franek) on that last restart and thought I something for a second." Rounding out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium was Jared Zimbardi. "The car just didn't take off like I wanted it to and it let Davie get next to me," said Zimbardi. "Car was really good, but those double file restarts can help or hurt you, and it hurt us tonight." 18 cars signed in to Freedom Motorsports Park on Saturday night. Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards went to Matt Farnham, Shawn Donath and Davie Franek. Elab Smokers Boutique heat races were won by Jared Zimbardi, Joe Trenca and Jason Barney. The Cobra Coaches Dash presented by Mechanical Service Company was won by Matt Tanner. The next scheduled event for the Empire Super Sprints is this coming Saturday June 14th at the Evans Mills Raceway Park in Evans Mills, NY for the annual Kevin Ward Jr. Asphalt Spectacular.

- Tony Gomes dominates Sprint Car feature for second straight Big Trophy Night victory
Placerville, CA…For the second consecutive season on Coors Light Big Trophy Night it was Tony Gomes and C&M Motorsports standing tall in victory lane with the Thompson's Winged Sprint Cars. Fellow winners taking home the six-foot-tall perpetual trophies at Placerville Speedway include Rod Oliver with the Kings Meats Ltd. Late Models, Nick Baldwin with the Red Hawk Resort + Casino Pure Stocks and Michael Barreno with the Mountain Democrat Mini Trucks. Gomes jumped out front at the waving of the Darin Stahl green flag in the Thompson's Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Car feature. The Modesto driver had his way with things as drivers looked to find the premium line around the quarter mile. After the race began to develop things heated up behind Gomes with racers battling high and low on the red clay. On lap 11 Placerville's Shane Hopkins took over second as he looked for a season best finish. The final 10 laps featured some of the best racing of the evening between the drivers running second through seventh. The intense action saw Austin Wood slide back under Hopkins to take over P2 with just a few circuits left. By that point however, Gomes was in another zip code and raced away to snag his seventh career Winged 360 triumph at Placerville, tying Tim Clauson for 24th on the all-time win list. Wood came home second followed by Chance Grasty, Hopkins and Jodie Robinson in the top five. Rounding out the top 10 were Andy Forsberg, Justyn Cox, Cole Schoeder, Seth Standley and Jake Haulot. A total of 26 Sprint Cars competed on Big Trophy Night with Forsberg earning the ADCO Driveline Fast Time Award to begin the evening. Yuba City's Rod Oliver assumed the lead at the start of the Kings Meats Ltd. Late Model main event and never looked back. He went on to claim his second career Placerville Speedway win ahead of Matt Micheli, Tyler Lightfoot, Ray Trimble and Chris Mcginnis. After losing out on a few close races this year Oakley's Nick Baldwin found redemption on Saturday, making a close pass to record his 34th career Pure Stock victory at the track. By doing so, he matched Tom Tilford on the all-time Stock Car win list. Rio Linda's Ryan Peter was searching to make it four wins in a row and would lead the opening three circuits, until Kevin Jinkerson moved past to take over the point. Baldwin then grabbed second and began to hound the leader. The Red Hawk Resort + Casino Pure Stocks have put on some fantastic shows this season and Saturday night was no different. Jinkerson, Baldwin and Peter ran extremely close for the duration of the feature. With things going down to the wire Baldwin finally had the opening he needed with a few laps left. Baldwin cut to the inside and made the winning move on lap 22 en route to the triumph. Jinkerson, Peter, Wayne Trimble and Tyler Lightfoot completed the top five. Camino resident Michael Barreno captured the Mountain Democrat Mini Truck win on Saturday, and it came with a little drama towards the end. With Barreno out front Mike Miller was making a charge to the inside with a few laps remaining. The two ended up coming together, Barreno's truck did everything but tip over yet somehow, he made a miraculous save. Miller's truck sustained enough damage causing him to slow. Barreno went on to take the checkered flag and the six-foot-tall perpetual trophy. Noah LaPoint, Brycen Bragg, Tyler Goggin and Luke Costa filled out the remainder of the top five.
