  Justin Sanders makes late move to net Cotton Classic at Kings Speedway

  Hanford, CA…Justin Sanders and car owner Dale Miller continued their fantastic season on Friday at Kings Speedway in Hanford, as the Aromas driver captured an entertaining Cotton Classic with the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour. It marked the sixth win in eight SCCT starts for Sanders this year and was his initial triumph in the Penny Newman Grain Cotton Classic. He also began the evening by earning the Sierra Foothills Wine Services Fast Time Award. "It feels great to get another win for Dale and Tara Miller here tonight at Kings Speedway," Sanders commented on the victory lane podium. "This track was perfect tonight and that made for some great racing. Luckily, I was able to get by Dominic Gorden there and score the win." Gorden was shot out of a cannon at the beginning of the SCCT feature, as he blasted under Tanner Holmes and Dominic Scelzi to grab the lead by the time one lap had been completed. Sanders moved into second not long after and began to pace Gorden as lapped traffic came into play. A multiple groove surface was given to drivers in the main event and made for outstanding competition all throughout the field. Gorden did a great job out front fending off Sanders, until traffic bunched up the leaders around the halfway point. Fresno's Dominic Scelzi also moved in and joined the party, making it a ferocious three-car battle up front. With 21 laps complete Sanders finally made the move to charge out front, as Gorden and Scelzi then fought for the runner up position. Scelzi had the opening to grab the spot but hopped over the right rear of lapped car Dylan Bloomfield in turn two, which put a tough end to his race. Sanders led the remainder to bring home his 14th career Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour win. Gorden crossed the stripe in second, followed by Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Cole Macedo, who started from position number 13. Tanner Holmes and DJ Netto completed the top five. Netto put on a tremendous show in the main event, following a trip to the work area during the pace laps, which took away his original starting spot, which was the pole. The Hanford driver came from dead last and ran as high as fourth at one point. Finishing sixth through 10th in the feature were Kaleb Montgomery, Andy Forsberg, Braden Chiaramonte, Brooklyn Holland and Shane Hopkins. The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour returns to action this coming Saturday October 12th at Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare. The annual Faria Memorial marks the final tune-up prior to Trophy Cup and the penultimate round of the SCCT campaign.

  Moran Is Perfect in Pittsburgher Opener

  Imperial, PA (October 4, 2024) - Devin Moran achieved a clean sweep on the opening night of the 36th Annual Pittsburgher 100 Presented by Big River Steel on Friday night at Pittsburgh Pennsylvania Motor Speedway. He secured his seventh Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of the season, earning a $10,000 victory. Moran, who turned 30 years old last week, scored his first career win at PPMS. This track was where his dad, Donnie, won 12 times during his Hall-of-Fame career. Jonathan Davenport made it a close race at the end, finishing just 0.186 seconds behind the driver from Dresden, Ohio. Ricky Thornton Jr., who ran as high as second in the race, finished in third, followed by Carson Ferguson, whose first trip to Pittsburgh netted him a fourth-place finish. Max Blair earned the Todd Steel Buildings Hard Charger of the Race as he came from the 17th starting spot to complete the top five drivers. Moran jumped to the lead at the start of the 30-lap main event with Thornton in tow. Thornton ran in the second spot and was closing back in on Moran when the only caution of the race flew with 16 laps complete for fourth place running Garrett Alberson, who slowed with a shredded right tire. After the restart, Moran began to widen the gap as Davenport picked up speed and passed Thornton for second place on lap 17. Davenport was about nine car lengths behind Moran, but in the last 10 laps, he managed to close in on Moran as they encountered traffic. Davenport got within one car length in the final couple of laps but fell just short of winning his first race at PPMS. For the 15th time in Lucas Oil Victory Lane, Moran took the first step towards his first-ever Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series title. "Man, I have been coming to Pittsburgh a long time, even back in the day with my dad. I can't think of a better time to get my first win here. It's a great way to start the Pittsburgher 100 weekend, for sure. My heart rate was up to whole time. I know it's like everything is moving in slow motion. You drive so hard at this place. I don't think Cody [Overton] and I got into each other. But I just knew I had to slide him and keep on going not to lose my momentum because once you lose your momentum here, they can catch you so quick," said the winner. Davenport, seeking his fourth Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series title to tie both Earl Pearson Jr. and Jimmy Owens, came home in the runner-up spot. "It was just a combination of things from qualifying on. If we could have started on the outside of the front row instead of fourth, I might have worked him [Moran] more. He did an awesome job. He moved around when he needed to. I was trying to go where he wasn't. I tried to run a little above him or below him, but it just didn't work out for us." Thornton, who has won two of the last three Pittsburgher races, finished third on the Big River Steel Podium. "I didn't want that yellow. I felt like without the yellow, we had a good shot of winning. I didn't fire off as well as I needed to. JD's stuff was really good too. In the grand scheme of things, I am happy with our night. We ran really well and were fast all night. Luckily, we've got a little bit we can work on for tomorrow. I know last year when I was here, there was a really big lip around the top, and this year, it's all knocked down." The winner's Roger Sellers-owned, Double Down Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and sponsored by Big River Steel, C&W Trucking, Lazydays RV, Southeastern Equipment, CarSourceAuto.com, Haulin' Haskell's, Red Oak Pub, Bilstein Shocks, Smoky Mountain Speedway, Pee Wee's Wrecker Service, Lincoln Smith Racing, McHugh Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram.

  REAPER DOMINATION--RYAN GUSTIN RUNS AWAY WITH MLRA FALLS NATIONALS NIGHT #2 WIN

  Wheatland, MO (October 4, 2024) - For the second consecutive night, the "Reaper" Ryan Gustin proved to be too tough to tame, as the Marshalltown, Iowa driver cruised to his 12th career Lucas Oil MLRA victory in the second of three nights for the MLRA Fall Nationals at the Lucas Oil Speedway. Gustin started the 30 lapper from the outside of row two after winning the nights fourth heat race. MLRA point leader Chad Simpson started the race from the pole alongside of MyRacePass Fast Time award winner Stormy Scott. Simpson jumped to the race lead from the onset with Scott running in second, until giving way to Gustin on lap three for the runner up spot. With Simpson maintaining the race lead, the nights only caution slowed the pace on lap seven when Payton Looney made hard contact with the turn four wall, bringing his night to an early ending. With Simpson and Gustin showing the way, all eyes were on up & coming driver Tyler Kuykendall who had raced from his sixth starting position to third at the time of the caution, and was testing Gustin for second. On the restart Simpson moved back to the point, but it was only a matter of laps before Gustin found a rhythm along the top side of the Lucas Oil Speedway. Chad Simpson would slip up in turn 1 and 2, opening the door for Gustin to have a monster run off the exit of turn two, putting the Todd Cooney Motorsports 19r out front for the first time on the night. Gustin would stretch out the advantage through lapped traffic in the closing laps to cash in on another $5,000 pay day by a margin of 5.379 seconds. "He was good there," Gustin commented of the early race battle with Chad Simpson. "I thought I about put him through the fence there when I through that slider, I didn't know if it was going to stick or not but it did." Chad Simpson 3rd (Left), Ryan Gustin 1st (Center), Chris Simpson 2nd (Right). Photo Credit: Todd Boyd Chris Simpson raced his way from tenth into a podium position and eventually into the second spot for the second night in a row after passing brother Chad with just five laps to go. "We felt good," explained Chris Simpson. "We just didn't qualify where we needed. We had to work our way up through there, and got up there pretty good. The felt good, we had to do a little more to it today than we did yesterday and it felt good. It's just when Ryan starts up front you ain't going to catch him. This would be two wins for us if Ryan would've stay home, but we'll take it," joked Simpson. "He's a hell of a racer and he has proven this year that they are the best of the best, so to come out here and run second to him twice, we'll take it." Chad Simpson completed the nights podium in third while Justin Wells finished in fourth, his second straight top four run. Kuykendall would manage to hold onto 5th for his first career top five run with the Lucas Oil MLRA in just his first full year of open late model racing. "Tonight was probably better than the last five races we've had so we're getting our stride back and getting closer, we're just still a tick off," noted Chad Simpson. "I think them guys found something a little better on the bottom than I did. I tried to go down there but I just felt like I had to whoa up so much to run down there. We definitely need to get a little better to run the bottom here and get around here just a little better. Hopefully I fixed my entry and we will get better." Saturday night will put a cap on the MLRA "Fall Nationals" weekend. Action will include another complete show, culminating with a $10,000 to win and $700 to start 50 lap main event.

  Gustin does it again at Lucas Oil MLRA Fall Nationals as front of Big Buck 50 field set

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Oct. 4, 2024) - Ryan Gustin's domination of the Lucas Oil MLRA Fall Nationals continued on Friday night at Lucas Oil Speedway. Gustin, of Marshalltown, Iowa, beat Chris Simpson - just as did on Thursday - to pick up another $5,000 prize. Gustin will go for the sweep on Saturday night with $10,000 at stake while Simpson, and others, try to turn the tables. "This would have been two wins for us if Ryan would have stayed home," 10th-starting Chris Simpson said with a chuckle. "But we'll take it. He's a hell of a racer and he's proven this year that he's the best of the best." Gustin earned his 12th overall feature win of the season and his 12th career Lucas Oil MLRA victory. Half of those MLRA wins have come at Lucas Oil Speedway. Gustin took over the lead from Chad Simpson on lap 13 and dominated the 30-lapper from there, winning by 5.37 seconds over Chris Simpson in a race that had only one caution, on lap seven. "Hats off to everybody that helps out on this deal," Gustin said. "We did some things tonight that we'd never done before and didn't know if it was going to work or not. We figured we might as well see if it works tonight versus trying for $10,000 tomorrow. "We might have went a little bit too far and might back off it just a little bit. The car was good. The Infinity Chassis is on rails the Jay Dickens motor is running smooth." Meanwhile, in the 8th annual Super Stocks Big Buck 50 Presented by Whitetail Trophy Hunt portion of the program, heat races and dash races were held to determine the first 16 starting positions for Saturday night's main event. Both the MLRA Late Models and Super Stocks will hold 50-lap, $10,000-to-win features. The Late Models will have a full program with time trials, heat races and B Mains leading into the main event; Super Stocks will run last-chance qualifiers prior to its feature. Pits gates will open at 4 p.m. Saturday with grandstands at 4:30, hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05. The fourth-starting Gustin took over second from Stormy Scott on lap three and was a half-second behind early leader, pole-starting Chad Simpson as the Late Model action got going. Sailing around the oval on the high side, Simpson led by .425 seconds over Gustin when caution flew on lap seven after Payton Looney walloped the wall in turn four while running fifth. As action resumed, Chad Simpson regained his modest margin over Gustin with sixth-starting Tyler Kuykendall up to third. Gustin nearly took the lead on lap 11 with a daring slider in turns three and four, but wound up having to regroup. "He was good," Gustin said of Chad Simpson. "I about put it through the fence there with that slider. I didn't know if it was gonna stick or not, but it did." Gustin finally took over the lead on lap 13, going past Simpson on the inside of turn two when the race-long leader slipped a bit high. Once in front, it didn't take Gustin long to drive away. He opened a three-second lead by lap 18 and, with the race remaining caution-free, was clear by 4.059 seconds by lap 25. Gustin kept pouring it on to outdistance Chris Simpson by nearly a straightaway by the finish with Chad Simpson falling back to third. "When your car is that good, it makes it easy as the driver," Gustin said. Chad Simpson enjoyed a solid points night with his third-place finish. Justin Wells was fourth and Kuykendall fifth. "It's way better than probably the last five races we've had," Chad Simpson said. "We're getting our stride back. We're getting closer, but still just a tick off. Ryan comes in here and he's one of the best out there right now. We're close. We're not far off." Chad Simpson was able to increase his points lead from 55 points to 90 in the MLRA title chase over Tony Jackson Jr., who was ninth. There are four series races remaining as Chad Simpson seeks his third straight championship and fifth overall. Stormy Scott of Las Cruces, N.M., set fast overall qualifying time for the second straight night. He led Group B with a time of 15.318 seconds. Scott would up seventh in the feature. Clark, Schultz earn front-row spots for Big Buck 50 feature: Gary Clark of Walker, Mo., and Terry Schultz of Sedalia nailed down front-row starting positions for the Super Stocks Big Buck 50 Presented by Whitetail Trophy Hunt main event. Clark captured the Steve Scott Concrete Dash, featuring first and second-place finishers from the first four heat races held on Friday. Clark's win over Jacob Rexing earned him the inside starting spot on row one. In the Lucas Oil Speedway Dash, with the top two finishers from heats 5-through-8, Schultz outran Richie Tosh to the win to nail down the outside spot of row one. Schultz won the inaugural Big Buck 50 in 2014. All 16 of the dash drivers clinched spots in the starting field of the $10,000-to-win, 50-lap feature on Saturday. Four B-Features will determine the final starters in the Big Buck main event. Past Big Buck 50 winners: 2020 - Peyton Taylor, Batesville, Ark. 2019 - Peyton Taylor, Batesville, Ark. 2018 - Rained out 2017 - Tony Anglin, Walnut Ridge, Ark. 2016 - Tim Brown, Stoutland, Mo. 2015 - Jeremy Russell, Jonesboro, Ark. 2014 - Terry Schultz, Warrensburg, Mo.

  EDDIE TAFOYA JR ENTERS FINAL USCS REGULAR SEASON RACE THIRD IN POINTS

  (Chino, CA, October 3, 2024) When the Ultimate Sprint Car Series presented by Inland Rigging wraps up its inaugural regular season this Saturday night, October 5th, at Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway, Eddie Tafoya Jr. will come into the fray third in the championship standings. The 27-year-old has made two appearances at the track recording a fourth on June 8th and a ninth on August 31st. Both of those races came while competing with the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars. Tafoya's last appearance in the USCS Series came on September 14th when he placed seventh in the main event at the Ventura Raceway. That was the second-best result for the Chino Hills, California driver in the USCS this year. It was only superseded by his second-place run with the first-year racing organization at the grand reopening of the Santa Maria Speedway on June 15th.

The streak has now stretched over six months. After this week's regular season-ender for the USCS, he will have one race left in the series this season. That will be the sprint car portion of the annual Turkey Night Grand Prix at the Ventura Raceway on Thanksgiving weekend. Sandwiched in between now and then, Tafoya can run six races in the USAC/CRA Series. The 2019 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year has already submitted his entry for the prestigious 57th Annual Avanti Windows and Doors Western World Championship at Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway on November 1st and 2nd.

  Gustin outduels Chris Simpson for Night 1 victory at MLRA Fall Nationals at Lucas Oil Speedway

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Oct. 3, 2024) - Ryan Gustin regained the lead for good on lap 21 and held off Chris Simpson over the final nine laps to find victory lane Thursday night in the Lucas Oil Speedway Fall Nationals opener at Lucas Oil Speedway. Gustin, of Marshalltown, Iowa, picked up $5,000 for his 11th career MLRA feature win, five of which have come at Lucas Oil Speedway. He beat Simpson, of Oxford, Iowa, by half a second with local weekly track champion Justin Wells of Aurora improving 10 positions to capture third. "It's a love-hate relationship here," Gustin said of his Lucas Oil Speedway MLRA history. "Sometimes we're almost unstoppable here and other times we don't make the show. Hopefully, we can just keep it rolling and be here the rest of the weekend." The 8th annual Super Stocks Big Buck 50 Presented by Whitetail Trophy Hunt also got going Thursday night with practice and time trials to set the lineup for heat races and two dash races on Friday night. The MLRA also will have another full program on Friday, paying $5,000 to win. Both divisions will wrap things up Saturday night with 50-lap, $10,000-to-win main events. From the start of the MLRA feature, it was a battle between Gustin and Simpson. As the green flag flefw, Simpson led the opening lap, but inside front-row starter Jon Binning spun in turn two of lap two for the race's first caution. Several cars dodged Binning in what could have been a multi-car incident. The restart saw Simpson off and running to a 1.1-second lead over Gustin by lap five with Stormy Scott third. The fourth-starting Gustin started to cut into the margin and was right behind Simpson by lap eight when the second caution appeared for a Jeff Herzog spin. Gustin fired strong on the restart and took to the high side and was able to clear Simpson for the lead coming off turn two on lap 11. Simpson battled back on the inside and the two raced side by side for the next three laps before Gustin edged out to a three-car-length lead. Simpson trailed by a half-second when the third caution waved on lap 16 as Chad Simpson, the MLRA championship leader, spun in turn two as he was running eighth. Chris Simpson regained the top spot on lap 20, but Gustin went right back around him on the outside the next time around. That would be the final lead change as those two pulled away from the field as action remained green the rest of the way. "I seen (Simpson's) signal guy move him down, so I figured we were just gonna crack the whip and run the cushion and hope for the best," Gustin said. "It all worked out." "Ryan was below me and I was like if Ryan's good down there then I can be really good down there," Simpson said. "I moved down on that restart, but I probably should have run that top one lap, just to stop him from getting a run." Gustin desperately held on as the duo dealt with lapped cars on the final lap. Simpson's momentum was stopped entering turn three by a slower car. "Either way it was a good race," Simpson said. "I was a little better than him in (turns) three and four. I think we might have had something on that last lap, but (a car) was in the way. But we'll take it. It's a three-night weekend. To get second tonight is still a good night for us." Gustin prevailed by two car lengths as the pivotal weekend in the MLRA championship chase began. Chris Simpson began the action third in points, 200 behind the leader, his brother Chad Simpson who settled for 14th after his spin. Chad Simpson unofficially leads Tony Jackson Jr. by 55 and Chris Simpson by 130 with five series races remaining. Wells, the Lucas Oil Speedway Weekly Series Late Model champ, finished four seconds back in third. Wells beat Stormy Scott and Jackson, who were fourth and fifth. Afterward, Wells told a story about running an MLRA race at Lucas Oil Speedway shortly after the track opened nearly 20 years ago. He led most of it before being passed late by Rex McCroskey, a two-time MLRA series champ, who died over the weekend. "I led that thing almost to the end and No. 64 passed me," said Wells, who had a small No. 64 in blue over his larger, yellow No. 49 on his race car as a tribute to McCroskey. "I just want to say, 'Rex, thanks for being a good guy. We're gonna miss you.' He was a good racer." Stormy Scott of Las Cruces, N.M., set fast overall qualifying time with a 14.793 on Group A. Chris Simpson's 15.155 paced Group B. In the Super Stocks qualifying, both top qualifiers in the respective groups hail from Jonesboro, Ark. Jeremy Russell paced Group A with a lap time of 19.478 seconds and Jared Hays led Group B with the fast time overall at 19.130. Sixty-three Super Stocks posted qualifying laps on Thursday night in the renewal of the Big Buck, which last was held in 2020.

  RYAN GUSTIN TOPS MLRA FALL NATIONALS OPENER AT LUCAS OIL SPEEDWAY

  Wheatland, MO (October 3, 2024) - Ryan Gustin survived a back-and-forth battle for the lead and a late race charge from Chris Simpson to score the opening night win in the MLRA "Fall Nationals" on Thursday at the Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, MO. Not only was the action intense at the top, the drama also continued in the Championship Chase throughout the night, with multiple top five drivers having their struggles while others found a way to capitalize with just five races remaining on the 2024 season. Jon Binning brought the field to the green for the 30-lap main event along side of Chris Simpson. Simpson grab the lead on the initial circuit, and as the field completed lap one it was Binning losing grip and spinning in turns one and two to bring out the nights first of three cautions. Simpson again grabbed control and was able to maintain the advantage over fourth stating Gustin and Stormy Scott, before a Jeff Herzog spin slowed the pace again on lap 8. With Gustin closing ground just prior to the caution, he picked up where he left off and took his first lead of the night on lap 11. Trouble next struck MLRA point leader Chad Simpson on lap 16 when he spun to the infield with 14 laps to go while running in 8th. Simpson would visit the hot pit before returning and finishing in 15th. Gustin again jumped back to the point on the final restart of the night, but it was Chris Simpson finding his way back out front on lap twenty for the second time on the night. That lead would be short lived as Gustin once again raced back by for the top spot just one lap later. Simpson would continue to pressure Gustin for the lead in the closing laps, circling the low line while Gustin moved to the top side. Lap traffic on the final lap would block any advances by Simpson, as Gustin drove to his 11th career Lucas Oil MLRA victory, and 5th all-time in Wheatland. Simpson's second place run, allowed him to close back in on the championship battle taking a 200-point deficit down to just 120 heading into Friday night. Lucas Oil Speedway champion Justin Wells raced from 13th to round out the podium in third. Stormy Scott would hold on for 4th while Tony Jackson Jr. finished in 5th, closing to within just 55 points of Midwest Sheet Metal Point Leader Chad Simpson. Justin Wells 3rd (Left), Ryan Gustin 1st (Center), Chris Simpson 2nd (Right). Photo Credit: Todd Boyd "This is a different tire combination than what we normally run here with the four on the right rear and twos everywhere else ," explained Gustin. "It's definitely a different ballgame compared to what were used to running on, but we'll go to work on it and make it better for tomorrow." For Gustin, the advantage may have been running in second which allowed him to watch the moves of Simpson early in the going. "I seen his (Chris Simpson) signal guy move him down there and I figured we were just going to crack the whip and run the cushion and hope for the best, and tonight it all worked out," he concluded. As for his success at the Lucas Oil Speedway he continued, "it's a love hate relationship here I guess. Sometimes where almost unstoppable here and other times we don't even make the show, so hopefully we can keep it rolling and be standing here again tomorrow night." Simpson's runner up finish marked his third MLRA podium of the season and second at the Lucas Oil Speedway. "You get out in the lead there and then I seen Ryan below me and I knew if Ryan was good down there I could be really good down there," noted Simpson. "I moved down there on that restart, and I probably should have ran the top one lap to stop him from getting a run, but either way it was a good race. We were a little better down here in three and four than he was and I think we might have had something there on that las lap but Kayden was in the way, so we'll take it. It's a three-night weekend, so to get second tonight you know is still a good night for us." The MLRA Fall Nationals continues on Friday night with another complete $5,000 to win main event. Action for the weekend will conclude at the Diamond of Dirt Tracks on Saturday night with the $10,000 MLRA finale, along with the $10,000 to win feature event for the "Big Buck 50" Super Stocks.

  ESS Points Set to Conclude at Fulton Friday

  By Curtis Berleue (Fulton, NY) | A points champion will be crowned this Friday night with the Empire Super Sprints at the Fulton Speedway. With the final points event of 2024 on tap as part of the annual 'Outlaw 200' weekend, both the tour championship and the $2,000 winners share of the event are on the line. Currently atop the points standings is Jordan Poirier, with 2,028 points. The two time and defending champion has been a model of consistency all year long. While only tallying one win to this point (Autodrome Drummond), he has completed an impressive 500 laps of feature action in 20 starts - meaning he has finished on the lead lap at every single event. In addition, he has only finished outside of the top 10 once - further solidifying his spot at the top of the standings. Early season points leader Jason Barney is currently second with 1,911 points. He has three victories (Fulton, Brewerton, Granby) and 18 top 10's to his credit, putting him 85 points ahead of current third place holder Davie Franek. While Franek also has perfect attendance and also has the most wins out of any driver in the top 5 in points with four (Freedom, Fulton, Brockville, Outlaw), he has just 13 top-10 finishes in his 20 starts. Rounding out the top 5 in points headed into Fulton is Matt Tanner in fourth (1,734 points) and Billy VanInwegen in fifth (1,546 points). In the three events held at the Fulton Speedway thus far in 2024, Jason Barney, Davie Franek and Joe Trenca have all picked up victories. For a full schedule of events for this weekends action, along with admission pricing and gate times, be sure to check out both the Fulton Speedway website and Facebook page, along with the Empire Super Sprints social media pages. After the points wrap up at Fulton on Friday, there is one more non-points event on the 2024 ESS calendar - the annual Hoag Memorial at the Outlaw Speedway in Dundee, NY on Friday October 18 paying $4,000 to win.

  Hartmann closes book on 2024 with Mississippi Thunder, Plymouth IRA twin bill

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) October 2, 2024 - After entering 30 racing events contested on 19 tracks in six states over five months, the end of the long and winding 2024 410 Sprint Car racing road drew nigh for Austin Hartmann and the 87A Hartmann Racing Team with one final weekend of Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series action at Mississippi Thunder Speedway in Fountain City, Wis. on Friday, Sept. 27 and the seventh annual Wisconsin Sprint Car Championships at The Plymouth, Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, Sept. 28. In the IRA's first appearance at the third-mile high-banked clay oval nestled on the shores of the Mississippi River since 2012, Hartmann opened the night by qualifying 14th overall in the 27-car field with a lap of 12.131 seconds. The third-year 410 Sprint Car competitor then racked up a sixth-place finish after starting fifth in the second eight-lap IRA heat race. The Plymouth, Wis. driver started the 30-lap A-main from the 17th starting position and stayed consistent throughout on the way to a 15th place showing in a race won by Australian Scott Bogucki. One night later, Hartmann and crew hauled back home for the 2024 IRA season finale at The Plymouth Dirt Track on Saturday, Sept. 28. The 2020 Midwest Sprint Car Association - Plymouth Dirt Track Racing Rookie of the Year Award winner turned in the 19th fastest qualifying lap in the 33-car field with a time of 12.150 seconds. Hartmann then put together an inspired effort in the third eight-lap IRA heat race blasting past Will Armitage, Blake Nimee and Kelby Watt with a nifty low move in turns two and fourth of the opening lap to vault his way into second. The fifth-year Sprint Car campaigner held on to place second in the heat race and earn the right to start 14th in the 30-lap 2024 season-ending IRA main event. Hartmann put together a solid run in the final IRA A-main of the 2024 campaign to come home 16th in a race won by Scotty Thiel. "Our last weekend of the 2024 season was filled with a lot of problems but this team never gave up throughout the entire season," Hartmann said. In 33 410 Sprint Car events during the 2024 season, Hartmann tallied one top-five, six top-10 and 12 top-15 A-main showings, while recording one dash victory in seven dash appearances and winning one B-main. Following a 10th-place finish in 2022 and a ninth-place run in 2023, the third-year 410 Sprint Car competitor tallied a career-best seventh-place performance in the final 2024 Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series point standings. "The 2024 season was one to remember," Hartmann said. "We've built something special to me way beyond racing. From race days to teaching Ian Schultz how to golf, and then him kicking my butt on go-karts, there were a lot of good times. Also, Eric Bergschultz got to learn more in-depth about the car throughout the 2024 season. "I truly have one amazing team," he said. "Mom [Kristine Hartmann] and Andy [Shufflebotham] have been nothing short of amazing in seeing the vision I have for this team and where we can go and how to do it. Karlee [Hartmann] is always there to support me or give me grief when I need a reality check. They say when you're having fun, time goes by quickly. Well, the 2024 race season was the quickest season I've experienced. I'm super excited for what 2025 will bring." The sponsorship partners for the 2024 87A Hartmann Racing team include Kristine Hartmann of Pleasant View Realty, Shufflebotham Tree Service, Feldmann Sales & Service, Holler n Hills, Quasius Construction Inc., TheD8Dispensary, AF Inc., Metalcraft, Rich's Truck and Auto Repair, Fastenal of Plymouth, Waldo Oil, RC Custom Design, Hepfner Racing Products, Maxim Chassis, Berryman Racing Shocks and My Race Pass.

  Arenz draws curtain on 2024 IRA campaign in fleet fashion

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) October 2, 2024 - Travis Arenz and the Travis Arenz Motorsports crew put a lid on a 2024 season complicated with motor and chassis issues by packaging together a fourth consecutive top-five performance with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series at the seventh annual Wisconsin Sprint Car Championships at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, Sept. 28. Early on in the night, Arenz flexed his muscle at his home track by qualifying fifth overall in the 33-car IRA field with a lap of 11.854 seconds. After starting third in the first eight-lap IRA heat race, the 2021 and 2022 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car champion turned in a stellar effort to earn his fourth heat race win of the 2024 campaign. Thanks to his strong qualifying and heat race runs, Arenz advanced to the first IRA four-lap dash starting second and finishing third to gain the fifth starting spot in the 30-lap main event. The 37-time Plymouth Dirt Track Racing A-main winner in four different divisions was embroiled in a heated duel at the front of the field throughout the event. After racing in the top five during the entire 30 laps, Arenz capped off the 2024 season with a fourth-place A-main showing in a race won by Scotty Thiel. The fourth-place run marked Arenz's fourth consecutive top-five main event finish. "Getting back in this car was like riding a bike," Arenz said. "Once I figured out what that chassis liked when it was a 360 car, it felt really good most of the night. We had a right rear tire leaking during the feature, which made the car a little more of a handful. I had to be cautious about where I ran." In 19 410 Sprint Car events during the 2024 campaign, Arenz collected eight top-five A-main showings, 13 top-10 main event finishes and 14 top-15 A-main runs to go along with four heat race victories, 11 dash appearances, one dash victory and one fast qualifier award. Despite missing nine IRA events primarily due to motor issues, Arenz posted an 11th-place finish in the final 2024 IRA point standings. "The one word to describe this season would be 'frustrating.' Arenz said. "A lot of things this year didn't go as planned. On a positive note, I learned a lot this season and I was able to get more comfortable. Missing a handful of weeks due to the engine failure we experienced is not something I wanted to happen. That's racing though. It was out of our control. "As for the 2025 season, I haven't thought about it yet," he said. "We'll see." The Travis Arenz 25T Motorsports Team continues to seek crew members to assist the team. Those interested can send a direct message to Travis through the Travis Arenz Motorsports Facebook page. "I am still looking for another set of crew hands to help out," Arenz said. "Those interested can reach out to me for more info."

  DALE EARNHARDT JR REPLICA READY FOR NIGHT OF DESTRUCTION AT PERRIS

  (Perris, CA, October 1, 2024) Over the years in Night of Destruction at Perris Auto Speedway, there have been several popular paint schemes on the competing vehicles. However, when LKQ Pick Your Part presents the latest Night of Destruction this Saturday, October 5th, Alex Kiss may field the most popular one of all. It is a replica of a Dale Earnhardt Jr car. Kiss, who resides in Riverside, California, started the season by driving a popular "Family Truckster" replica from the movie National Lampoon's Vacation. Unfortunately, that car was destroyed at the last Night of Destruction. Kiss, who grew up two miles from the Charlotte Motor Speedway, was going to build another version of the same car. However, his wife, Madelyn, suggested he should go in a different direction. "We bought a house close to Perris Auto Speedway and got into some of the Facebook pages that said what was going on in the neighborhood," Kiss answered when asked how he got into Demo Cross. "Friends of ours posted about the Night of Destruction. I love racing and watching stuff crash. We ended up being fans by going and watching. " The wife of Kiss' buddy Brett Wayland asked if Kiss could build a car for an anniversary gift. Kiss obliged, and Wayland did pretty good the first time out. Wayland asked Kiss to come out and race with him, and things grew from there. "I work in the studios, and there was a car that was used in a commercial, and they were going to crush it," Kiss laughed about his first Demo Cross car. "I said, 'Hey, don't' crush it, let me run it in one of the destruction races.' It was a Firebird. A Firebird is not the ideal car for Demo Cross, but I did not know that at the time. I was doing all right, but I got a little overzealous and spun myself out. I got T boned by another car and broke my axle." "When I started doing it seriously on the Family Truckster, I wanted to go all out on the theme and give the fans something they can relate, too," Kiss remembered. "Everybody knows the Family Truckster. My dad helped me out. He built the aunt that passed away and strapped her to the top of the car. The neighbors around here pitched in on the decorations on the top like the luggage and what not." When the Family Truckster got destroyed at the last race, Kiss wanted to rebuild. That is when his wife suggested he build something else. "I bought a black Yukon," Kiss stated. "I am a big Dale Earnhardt fan and have been since I was a little kid growing up in North Carolina. I duplicated Dale Jr's black car since he is still with us. I looked up what a black #8 car of his looked like. I kind of copied it and went around the neighborhood looking for stickers. You know, contingency stickers to make it look like a racecar." Kiss and his parents attended a lot of races at Charlotte. When he was eight or nine years old, he got to know a lot of guys at Hendrick Motorsports. They would let him come in and look at stuff in the engine shop and the chassis shop. However, he never got to race anything motorized as a kid. "Racing has been part of my life for a long time," the friendly driver stated. "But I never had the means to really do it until I grew up. So, I did not get to do karting or this and that. So, I have tried to get after it a little bit later. I did some short course stuff, but the series (he was in) disappeared. That is when I got into the destruction stuff. It is way more fun getting to smash into people and have people smash into you and not get in trouble for it. It is budget-raceable." With two races remaining in the 2024 season, Kiss has a slender six-point lead over defending Demo Cross champion Trebor Stevens of San Jacinto. He may leave Saturday with more points added on, but he will probably miss the last race on October 26th and the possible championship. "We are going to come out swinging this weekend, but I am going to miss the last race most likely," Kiss stated. "One of my best friends is getting married in Utah. So, I will probably lose the points lead." Another aspect of Kiss racing at The PAS is his group of fans. Approximately 50 or 60 strong, they sit together and cheer him and Wayland on whether they win or not. Every time before they race, they have a barbecue at Wayland's house. Then they come to the track to cheer their heroes on. Kiss wanted to be sure to thank his dad, his wife Madelyn, his longtime friend Tim Chapman and "The Amazing" Riverside Mobile Tire Shop. Spectator gates will open at 5:00 PM on Saturday, and the crashing will begin at 7:00. Adult tickets are $20.00. Kids six to 12 get in for only $5.00, and children five and under are free.

  CAN JONES WIN AGAIN?

  This Saturday night the Murray Machining and Sheds Murray Bridge Speedway will host the traditional Sprintcar season opener with the annual Bill Wigzell Battle of the Bridge, with a star studded 28 strong nomination list. Among them is local racer Ryan Jones, who over the years has made a habit of winning the South Australian season opener. In addition to claiming the event last year, Ryan had won the "Wigzell Race" on two previous occasions, and he has come close to two further victories with runner-up finishes in 2022 and 2021. "Bill's race is what I call the first major event for our part of the country and a race we really love to win. Bill's heritage was built on being part of the first professional Sprintcar team to come out of Murray Bridge and I'm both fortunate and thankful to be in a position to drive for a famous Murray Bridge and Speedway family in the Wright's, who have also built a professional Sprintcar team here. The bonus is we have won 3 of Bill's races and I would be honoured to add a 4th this Saturday night" added Ryan in the lead up to the event this weekend. When asked about the depth of the field that has nominated for this weekend, that includes three previous Australian 410ci Sprintcar Champions, Ryan had a very straight up response. "It's like that weekly now bud. Everyone has good gear; good crew guys and they are all good drivers. If you are a tenth off it's a long night" he concluded. Following the Bill Wigzell Battle of the Bridge on Saturday October 5 the Sprintcar action will continue at the Murray Machining and Sheds Murray Bridge Speedway on Sunday Night with the Australian Sprintcar Stampede; on offer is a $10,000 cheque for 1st place in the A-main & over $35,000 in total prize payout. Amongst the entries for the weekend are the likes of Matt Egel, Jock Goodyer, Jamie Veal, Tate Frost, Jordyn Charge, Marcus Dumesny & Brock Hallett, along with Ryan Newton making the big drive down from Queensland. Night 1 action also features the Formula 500s King of the Bridge, with Junior Formula 500s competing in the inaugural 'Prince of the Bridge'. Speedcars will contest Round 1 of the Blackjack Series on Night 2, along with the car crushing Demolition Derby presented by U-Pull-It.

  NARC NEWSLINE - OCTOBER 1, 2024

  NARC NEWSLINE - OCTOBER 1, 2024, By Jim Allen ... Imagine if the NFL played their first 12 games of the season and then took off two months before another game was played? Or just when the baseball pennant races heated up in July, the MLB didn't play another game until October? Well, welcome to the NARC 410 Sprint Car season! The last time we played in the dirt was July 27th at Santa Maria Speedway, a race won by Chase Johnson and the top three in the NARC championship standings somehow managed to crash out or break in three separate incidents. Unpredictable as a WWE match. At that point on the calendar, 18 races were in the books and the excitement and momentum was at a fevered pitch. We had a tight points chase, 12 different winners, four rookie drivers in the top 15, and open wheel competition that has been off the charts. In fact, we still have those things, we just had to fast forward 70-days for the High Limit and World of Outlaws shows to come through. Along those lines, California continues to be a powerhouse and hotbed of creating top national sprint car talent. Of the 15 combined High Limit and Outlaw shows on the West Coast, eight were claimed by California drivers (Michael Kofoid - 3, Carson Macedo - 2, Rico Abreu - 2, Corey Day - 1). Fresno car owner Dennis Roth scored five wins between the two series with Kofoid and Aussie James McFadden. Honorable west coast mention goes to Trey Starks, who scored not one, but two HL feature victories (Grays Harbor & Skagit) helping to prove my point that he is one of the most underrated drivers in the country. Justin Sanders, Shane Golobic, Cole Macedo, and DJ Netto fared the best among the NARC locals with 17 top five finishes combined. Sanders and Golobic both scored a pair of runner-up finishes. Tim Kaeding even nailed down an impressive runner-up finish at Merced Speedway. CHASE JOHNSON: While all that was going on, we have been talking and thinking and praying about Chase Johnson a lot lately. Who would have thought his scenario was even possible? Chase's crash at the High Limit Gold Cup at Silver Dollar Speedway didn't appear to be any worse than others we have witnessed, but the physical damage was painful to read. Chase broke his back in several spots which required a nine-hour surgery. Throw in additional setbacks like a rough bout of pneumonia, a collapsed lung, and a finicky feeding tube and you have a life-changing scenario. The 28-year-old driver, who always possesses a positive outlook and a million-dollar smile, is a fighter and one of the toughest guys we know. After five long weeks in the ICU at UC Davis in Sacramento, Chase had stabilized enough to be airlifted to the Shepard Center in Georgia. It is a highly-renown facility that specializes in spinal cord rehabilitation injuries. We will continue to monitor social media posts from wife Haley Johnson and the Johnson family during this process. On another note: The good news is Chase has medical insurance. The bad news is he has medical insurance. They say that the best insurance to have .., is insurance you never have to use because it seldom pays or covers the enormity of the expenses or allows coverage into premium world-class rehabilitation facilities. However, due to the amazing outpouring of support by fans, friends, and family of Chase, the Shepard Center became a reality and the best option for recovery. It's a super expensive ordeal and he will be there for at least 11 weeks. Please keep those positive vibes, thoughts, and prayers coming for the entire Johnson family, but also continue with the helmet passes, track barbecues, and t-shirt and decal sales. Or contribute to their house-payment program or make donations to the NARC Benevolent Fund and/or the GoFundMe account. His recovery requires a long-term plan of attack. He needs ongoing treatment so that one day soon, he can skip out of that facility under his own power. We know Chase is positive, strong-willed and is willing to fight with every inch of his soul. Please help him in the process. By the way, you can donate to Chase's GoFundMe account at … https://gofund.me/7ddbc02c Want to send Chase a get-well card? Here's the address: Johnny Franklin's Muffler ATTN: Chase Johnson 128 Bellam Blvd San Rafael, CA 94901 United States In hindsight, it's been a rough year on the NARC driver's roster. It closely resembles a weekly NFL injury report. Let's not forget that Ryan Robinson was forced to retire after his violent crash during the Mini Gold Cup back in March. In the good news department, Angelique Bell is almost fully recovered from her fiery June 12th crash at Southern Oregon Speedway. The burns have healed, but she still needs an occasional steroid shot in her vocal cords to get her voice back to 100%. She has managed to keep her sense of humor and upbeat attitude throughout the process. By the way, and this is a big "BY THE WAY," Angelique will be making her second season debut at Hanford on October 5th in a new family-owned race car. We plan to work in an opening ceremony interview with her. Then there was two-time NARC champion Dominic Scelzi, who was hearing church bells ringing in his head after his Super Dirt Cup crash at Skagit. Not to mention rib injuries of the type you would normally get in a fight with a Mike Tyson or Jake Paul. That took almost two months to recover from, but he is back to consuming tacos at his usual pace and frequency, so he is back to normal. Justyn Cox, who is currently third in NARC driver points, is expected to be out for the rest of the season in the Bates-Hamilton 42X with a back injury. He was hurt at a High Limit race, this one at the Douglas County Dirtrack in August. He is trying to nurse a broken and compressed T3 vertebra back into shape. Unfortunately, he will drop completely out of the top ten in points during the healing process. It's been one of those years. CALISTOGA SPEEDWAY: Yes, it's hard to believe, but movement is finally being seen, or at least scheduled, at the Napa County Fairgrounds. There is a Fairgrounds Community Clean Up Day scheduled for October 19th. Unfortunately, that is Trophy Cup weekend so racer participation may be limited. The good news is that there is a buzz at the fairgrounds with the hiring of Shelly Wright as the Fair Revitalization Director. She is a former fair manager at Lakeport and is a fan of motorsports, which is a huge plus for reopening the historic ½ mile oval. Tommy Hunt is excited at the possibilities and feels that the Louie Vermeil Classic should become a reality in 2025. NARC NOTES: Here is a strange fact for you. The October 5th race at Hanford will be the first visit by the NARC sprint cars this season. The first two shows, the Dave Helm Memorial and Peter Murphy Classic rained out. … Although we are not expecting to see Willie Croft at any of our final five NARC events, he will be at the Trophy Cup. Give the 53-year-old driver a proper send off for an entertaining and successful racing career. … Among the drivers who still are looking for a NARC 410 win in '24 include Bud Kaeding, Caeden Steele, Gauge Garcia, Dylan Bloomfield, Nick Parker, Kaleb Montgomery, and Tanner Carrick. … Kalib Henry, who has been enjoying sprint car success racing in the Midwest, will be competing at the next two NARC shows …The numerical stat lines of Justin Sanders and Cole Macedo are almost identical with 80% of the season complete. The only real difference is Sanders has five wins to Macedo's three. There is a three-point premium for winning (42-39), compared to second place. Sanders leads this horse race by only three-points. Stay tuned! … Speaking of identical, Sanders and Macedo both have seven heat race victories this season to lead all NARC drivers. The hot shoe with the most pockets $500 from Kimo's Tropical Car Wash at the year-end banquet. … The NARC top wing wickerbill rule was changed to match the High Limit and WoO rules. … … Gauge Garcia is attempting to zero in on the Williams Roofing season-long Hardcharger title, which pays $1,000 at the banquet. To date, Garcia has advanced 66 cars in the Keller Motorsports sprint car, to lead Nick Parker (57) and Cole Macedo (53). There is no prize for second place. … Special thanks to Ashley Smith, Katie Smith-Williams, Roth Motorsports, EMADCO, Southern Pacific Farms, and Hoosier for their financial support of this Saturday's Morrie Williams Memorial. … Each 20-lap feature pays $3,000 to win and $300 to start., plus a $1,000 bonus to the overall champion. No tire changes are allowed. The intermission between the two mains is about 10-minutes. Only the first race is a NARC points race. The second one is for victory lane glory. … The NARC season finale at Stockton, will feature a racing Legends autograph session. That should kick off around 4:30 p.m. … The upcoming Friday night show (October 25th) at Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway will blend asphalt and dirt track events. ARCA will be practicing and qualifying on the ½ mile paved oval in the afternoon, followed by the NARC sprint cars on the dirt oval. … Congrats to Brad Sweet on winning the inaugural High Limit Series championship - something he accomplished with four races still remaining on the HL schedule. NARC BANQUET: The NARC Championship Celebration awards banquet will be held the day after the November 2nd season Tribute to Gary Patterson season finale at the Stockton Dirt Track. The venue is the Brookside Country Club in Stockton, located about 10-minutes from the track. Brookside has hosted the event five-times and is a first-class facility. The brunch, highlight show, NARC Benevolent Fund auction, and awards gets underway at 11:30 p.m. The food is good, and video-producer extraordinaire Mike DeHoogh always puts together entertaining videos. This event is open to not only race teams, sponsors, and promoters, but to race fans as well. For more information contact Jim Allen. So, with all that, the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series will finish with a flurry of October events. It's October 5th at Kings Speedway for the Morrie Williams Memorial Twin-20's and October 12th for the Chris & Brian Faria Memorial at the Thunderbowl. A rare October doubleheader takes place on October 25-26th with a Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway October Classic and the Anthony Simone Classic back at Hanford. The season ends up with a Triple Crown event at the Tribute to Gary Patterson on November 2nd. The Stockton Dirt Track will host the NARC 410, SCCT 360, and Hunt Wingless Series season finales. Coming to you live from Auburn, CA. Get well Chase Johnson. See ya!
