- SCCT announces return to Watsonville Speedway
Watsonville, CA…The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour has revealed an update to its schedule of events, with the 66th running of the Johnny Key Classic added to the slate. The SCCT 360s are eager to be back at the newly rebranded Watsonville Speedway for one night only this season on Saturday June 20th. The Johnny Key Classic originally started out at the paved San Jose Speedway following the passing of driver Johnny Key during a racing crash in Cincinnati, Ohio during the 1954 season. It moved to the fairgrounds dirt track in 1978 and had been a staple at the speedway until the closing of the dirt oval in 1999. After several years sitting idle, Watsonville Speedway decided to bring the event back in 2007 when the Ocean Sprints came into existence. This year marks the 20th consecutive season that it is held at the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds facility. It will be the first Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour show at the track since 2023. Previous winners of the Key Classic in SCCT competition have included Dominic Scelzi on two occasions, along with Shane Golobic. Thanks to the support of www.shopkylelarson.com all main events with the Sprint Car Challenge Tour are once again a minimum of $3,000-to-win/ $400-to-start this season. It all gets underway with the Thrill on the Hill at Placerville Speedway on April 4th.
