- SANDERS CLAIMS TRIBUTE TO GP AT STOCKTON; NETTO EARNS NARC CHAMPIONSHIP
(11/1/25 - Andrew Kunas) Stockton, CA ... Justin Sanders dominated and D.J. Netto just did what he needed to do, and both wound up in Stockton Dirt Track's victory lane with big smiles as Sanders won another Tribute to Gary Patterson and D.J. Netto became "King of the West" as he clinched his second NARC championship. Sanders was dominant and led all 30 laps aboard the Yuba Sutter Aviation-sponsored Mittry Motorsports No. 2x Rider-powered KPC. Sanders outmuscled pole-sitter Tim Kaeding on the start, took off and never looked back. Sanders had one scare earlier in the race, as he was trying to clear slower cars. He made contact with one slower car who then tangled with another to bring out a caution, but Sanders escaped the melee and managed to continue with the lead. Despite breaking a right rear shock when that happened, he was never seriously challenged from there. Sanders, last year's NARC champion, elected not to chase points this year, but had a spectacular season when racing with NARC. Sanders's victory on Saturday was his series leading eighth triumph for him and the Mittry Motorsports team this season. He also continued his recent dominance of the Tribute to Gary Patterson as Saturday's win was his fourth in the last six years, and with those four wins he is now tied with Brent Kaeding and Steve Kent for the most all-time in the event. Sanders's win was lucrative also, as track promoter Tony Noceti just a short time before the feature declared that it would be $10,000 to win. "I actually really needed it. I just bought a house and I'm building a shop," Sanders quipped about the surprise added payout. "I think I broke a shock or something, and I was worried on restarts but I got around on the outside good. Another big win for this team, thanks to (car owner) Demo Mittry. Awesome to close out the season with another Gary Patterson win also." Shane Golobic finished second in the NOS Energy Drink-sponsored Matt Wood Racing No. 17w Kistler-powered KPC, racing with Tim Kaeding for the position throughout the event. Kaeding finished third in the Emadco Disposal-sponsored Williams Motorsports No. 0 Maxwill-powered Maxim to complete the podium. But D.J. Netto with his fourth place finish was the biggest winner of the night. Netto needed to finish 11th or better to clinch the championship regardless of whatever Sean Becker would do. Netto's Top 5 finish aboard the Sander Engineering-sponsored Netto Ag No. 88n Rider-powered KPC was more than enough while Becker finished ninth. Netto and team celebrated on the front stretch alongside Sanders and his team. "You just didn't want to make mistakes," Netto said about just wanting to stay out of trouble and finish well in the situation he was win. "Those yellow flags came out at the right time for me. Every time we got into the traffic, the yellow flag came out for us. I just rode this thing out, got 30 good laps." Netto had three wins on the season, though it wasn't without its trials. "It was a trying year for us. I think the first championship we won, it was a trying year also. This year we had a horrible speedweek (in June), but the guys at Netto Ag were behind me all year." Tanner Holmes finished fifth aboard the American Rock & Rent-sponsored Tarlton Motorsports No. 21 Kister-powered Maxim. Tanner Carrick, Dominic Scelzi, Cannon McIntosh, Becker and Billy Aton rounded out the Top 10. Bud Kaeding finished 11th and earned the Williams Roofing Hard Charger nod. Mariah Ede finished 15th and locked up NARC Rookie of the Year honors. Tim Kaeding won the Beacon Wealth Strategies Trophy Dash to secure the pole for the feature. Heat races earlier in the evening were won by Sanders, Netto and Aton. The final car out to qualify for the 2025 season, Golobic set quick time on his second lap around the ¼-mile clay oval, pacing the 22-car field with a lap of 11.182 seconds.

- Joel Myers Jr. wins the SCCT finale in Stockton/ Austin Wood wins title
Stockton, CA…Fresh off a big score at the Trophy Cup Sebastopol's Joel Myers Jr. led all 35 laps to claim his second career SCCT victory on Friday night at the Stockton Dirt Track. Sacramento's Austin Wood also wrapped up the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour title to become the youngest champion in series history. "It feels great to win the SCCT title and become the youngest champion," Wood commented after the race. "I want to thank my family and everyone that helps us out on this 2A team. We had a consistent year and luckily, we brought home this championship." The 35-lap Shop Kyle Larson feature turned out to be a lengthy affair and saw Joel Myers Jr. charge into the lead early on. Myers had his way with things out front and was perfect on virtually every restart. Aromas driver Justin Sanders carved his way into second just past the halfway point and gave chase after the leader. With heavy lapped traffic coming into play over the waving circuits Myers had to pick his spots wisely, as Sanders hounded his rear bumper. Myers, the Nor-Cal Posse Shootout winner, made all the right moves though and grabbed the checkered for his second career SCCT triumph. Sanders crossed the stripe in second, followed by Dominic Gorden, Tim Kaeding and 14th starter Austin Wood. The battle for the final podium spot turned out to be an entertaining contest over the final 10 laps. Completing the top-10 were Dylan Bloomfield, Gauge Garcia, Andy Forsberg, Jake Haulot and Seth Standley. Dawson Hammes captured the Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Award with his drive from 24th to 11th. Wood ended up claiming the SCCT title by 69 points over Seth Standley. Cole Schroeder finished third, with Max Mittry fourth and Dawson Hammes snagging fifth in the standings.

- After Qualifying for Both Western World Championship Main Events, Eddie Tafoya Jr. Returns to Perris This Saturday
Chino Hills, CA — October 30, 2025 — Eddie Tafoya Jr. took on the best traditional sprint car drivers in the world last weekend when he battled the Amsoil USAC National Sprint Cars and the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars in the prestigious Western World Championships at Central Arizona Raceway. Tafoya was one of only three USAC/CRA drivers to qualify directly into both main events without needing to run a C main, B main, or take a provisional spot. A strong field of 46 cars turned out for two nights of intense 410 sprint car action. Tafoya, who raced at the same track south of Phoenix in Casa Grande earlier this year with USAC/CRA, timed in 25th fastest on night one. That put him in the loaded fifth and final heat race, where only the top four transferred directly to the main. The 2019 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year rose to the occasion, finishing fourth and locking himself straight into the 30-lap feature, avoiding the chaos of the lower mains. In the main event, the Chino Hills, California racer started 22nd and came home 23rd. On night two, Tafoya, 28, found himself in the second qualifier—an eight-lap, 13-car showdown where only the top five would advance directly to the A main. For the second straight night, he answered the challenge, finishing fourth and once again skipping the preliminary races. "It was definitely a weight off my shoulders, and it was a lot less work going straight into the mains from the heat races," the veteran racer said. "It was good to skip the B and the C at this race. We had a really good baseline setup. It's a great track that kind of suits my style. It's kind of wide open. You've just got to hit your marks and stay in the good dirt." The finale featured one of the toughest fields of 2025. Starting on the inside of row eight (15th), Tafoya advanced two positions to finish a solid 13th against the national stars. "Racing with them makes me a better driver," Tafoya added about competing against the national series racers. "Racing against those guys is the benchmark and the speed we try to be all the time. It just seems like whenever they come out here, we try to step it up—definitely find some speed and eliminate our mistakes. It helps me be a better driver." This Saturday, the second-generation driver looks to carry his Arizona momentum into Perris Auto Speedway. The event will mark his ninth appearance of the season at his home track, where he hopes to better his season-best fourth-place finish from September 9th.

- Roa Returns to Perris After First Win of the Season
Cypress, CA - October 29, 2025 — This Saturday night, star USAC/CRA Sprint Car driver Brody Roa returns to Perris Auto Speedway riding high after scoring his first victory of the year! The action-packed show presented by Heimark Distributors Anheuser/Busch will see spectator gates open at 5:00 p.m., with racing starting 30 minutes earlier than usual at 6:30. The 34-year-old Garden Grove, California, racing veteran notched his long-awaited first win of 2025 two weeks ago, outdistancing the field on the legendary Southern California half-mile clay oval. The triumph marked his 22nd career USAC/CRA victory, placing him fourth all-time since the series' inception in 2004 — and the winningest active driver in the division today. Saturday's event will be Roa's 13th start of the season, with eight of the previous 12 coming at Perris. Impressively, he's finished outside the top eight only once — a 17th-place result after being sidelined in a crash. His Perris résumé includes four top-five finishes, highlighted by a third on September 27th and that thrilling win on October 18th. His average main-event finish at the track is a strong 6.5, and an even better 5.0 if you remove the DNF. "First off, I have to thank my dad and Uncle B," an emotional Roa told fans after his long-awaited victory. "I have felt like a turd all day. Every time I came off the track, I went into the trailer and went to sleep. Ricky (leader Ricky Lewis, who was taken out by a crash) had us covered, but you have to be there at the end — and we did it. It's pretty cool just to be up there with those guys and pick one off." After this Saturday's show, Roa and his brilliant green #91R team will be back in action one week later when USAC/CRA wraps up its 2025 season at Perris on November 8th. Saturday's tickets are $35.00 for fans age 13 and up. For seniors 65 and over, it is $30.00. Kids 6 - 12 get in for $10.00, and children 5 and under are free. Parking on the fairgrounds is $20.00 (parking payment is by card only). Advance tickets are available at tix.com, and walk-up tickets will be available at the gate.

- All Three Classes of PASSCAR Joining USAC/CRA Sprint Cars at Perris
Perris, California — October 29, 2025 — This Saturday night, November 1st, all three classes of PASSCAR will join the Avanti Windows & Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars in a show at Perris Auto Speedway presented by Heimark Distributors Anheuser/Busch. As usual, spectator gates will open at 5:00 p.m., but racing will begin an hour earlier than normal—at 6:30. Of the three PASSCAR divisions—Super Stocks, Street Stocks, and Factory Stocks—the Super Stocks are shaping up to provide the most intrigue this Saturday. Coming into the race two weeks ago, Yucaipa's Chuck Becker, a proud owner of four PAS track championships, held a slim three-point advantage over 2023 class champion Ricky Lee of Banning. In the main, Becker started on the outside of the front row while Lee lined up inside row two. It was clear early on that Tony Kinkade Jr. of Pahrump, Nevada, was the fastest car in the race, but Becker and Lee were locked in a fierce battle for second. Late in the event, Becker entered turn one and Lee clattered into him with a mighty blow. Quickly recovering, an irate Becker saw Lee ahead of him and retaliated, clipping him in the left rear on the back chute. A yellow flag waved, and Lee limped back to the pits. A yellow came out after the incident, and Lee was done for the night while Becker continued in second and held that position to the checkers. "I was actually committed to running the bottom of the track, and he had been working the top," Becker remembered. "We got to switching it up, going back and forth, and having a great time. Then he went to the inside and hit me hard on the left side of the car. I was not sure what it was about. I got back on the throttle pretty hard, and I saw him break loose, and I never lifted." The last thing the still-hot Becker wanted to see in his pit after the race was Lee. However, that is just what happened. Lee walked down there to have a chat with Becker. "I was still wound up," Becker said. "He came down to my pit, and I was not real nice at the beginning of the conversation. He was immediately apologizing. He told me his air cleaner blew off (it ended up lying on the track) and he momentarily lost concentration. How am I going to stay mad at that? I really do like Ricky Lee. He is a good guy, and the whole crew he has are wonderful people. I actually hang out with them on occasion when we can." Becker's initial reaction is something that has a lot to do with the driver he is. He is a clean racer who tries to role the car into the trailer after every race. That is especially important this week as the Super Stocks will be racing on back to back weekends for the only time in 2025. "Of course, I want to win the races," said the 61-year-old, who began racing in 1979 at Ascot. "That is first and foremost. But, I do not want to do so at the expense of the car and we only have one week between the final two races. I have to go a little bit on the side of caution on this one." Becker enters this Saturday's event with a slender five-point lead over Lee. Rick Arringdale of Victorville, Steven Welch of Cherry Valley, and Kinkade sit third through fifth in the Super Stock standings. Becker was quick to thank those who make his racing possible. "Bergerson's Heating and Air, and Toyota of Redlands are huge for me. Also, Huss Trucking, Stock All Services, Carpet Station, Ed Moore Driveline, PRE 2.0, Innovative RV, Unlimited Landscape, Billy Wormsbecker's Rebel Signs. A huge one to me is BRT Racing Engines. He actually came to my house. That is Randy Thornell, and he does amazing things for me." Becker also wanted to thank Charles Roe, Rick Becker, Kendall Scheidecker, and Dean Huss, who all offered engines to him before the last race when it looked as though mechanical ills may have prevented him from racing. Also, Tyler Gitmed, who offered his entire car turn key and ready to go. Heading into Saturday, in the Street Stocks, Riverside's Shaun Estes came into the last race undefeated in both heats and mains for 2025. He won his heat and led much of the main before Billy Griffin of Buena Park tracked him down and took the 20-lap victory. Despite the loss, Estes—the 2012 class champion—still holds a 20-point lead over George Leventis of Palos Verdes, with Chad Mahony, Hemet's Tim "Shaggy" Shadduck, and Stefan Davies of Murrieta rounding out the top five. Finally, in the Factory Stocks, David Stites, the two-time champion from Canyon Lake has won all five main events this season. He'll look to keep his streak alive this Saturday and complete a perfect season on November 8th. His advantage over James Keller of Oak Hills sits at 12 points. Cameron Broe of Ramona, Kris Carnish of Menifee, and Lanny Savage of Colton complete the top five. Saturday's tickets are $35.00 for fans age 13 and up. For seniors 65 and over, it is $30.00. Kids 6 - 12 get in for $10.00, and children 5 and under are free. Parking on the fairgrounds is $20 (parking payment is by card only). Advance tickets are available at tix.com, and walk-up tickets will be available at the gate.

- NARC CHAMPIONSHIP BATTLE CONCLUDES AT STOCKTON'S TRIBUTE TO GP
(10/27/25 - Andrew Kunas) Stockton, CA ...A big night of racing awaits the NARC King of the West sprint car series, as the 2025 season concludes with the annual Tribute to Gary Patterson and a championship will be won Saturday night (November 1st) at the Stockton Dirt Track. Just 12 points separate a pair of former NARC champions at the top of the standings, with each man in pursuit of his second title. Hanford's D.J. Netto, the 2019 titlist, is ahead of Oroville's Sean Becker, who won his championship 20 years ago, going into what will be a hotly contested season finale. Netto has won three times this season and that includes the season opener at the Stockton Dirt Track in March when Netto won the Salute to Leroy Van Connett. He also won the last NARC event, held October 11th at Antioch Speedway. Netto and the Netto Ag No. 88n team will look for another strong performance at a track he has been successful at to wrap up a second NARC championship. Becker meanwhile is winless this season, but he has been competitive all season aboard the Don Bjork No. 7b and the "Shark" has led laps in multiple main events this year. If Becker wants to win his second championship though, he will likely need to get that first win on the season in the finale and pair that with a significantly subpar performance by Netto. With his three wins on the season, Netto owns the tiebreaker if the two drivers were to finish with identical point tallies. If Becker were to gain a point by setting fast time in qualifying and then win Saturday's Patterson Tribute, Netto would need to finish 10th place or better in the main event to clinch the title. Incidentally, neither Netto or Becker has won the race that honors the legendary Gary Patterson, at least in 410 sprint car competition, and both would love to add their name to the list of winners of the event to cap off the season. One of the all-time greats out of California, Patterson - or the "Preacher" as he was nicknamed - won races all over the West Coast and across the country, racing as a true outlaw for most of his career. Though he lost his life in a 1983 racing accident at Calistoga Speedway, Patterson's accomplishments behind the wheel of a sprint car landed him in the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame in 1998. The Tribute to Gary Patterson was first run in 1984, won by future Hall of Famer Chuck Gurney. The race had been held annually in Calistoga before moving to Stockton in recent years. The list of race winners is full of big names. Former "King of California" Steve Kent and Hall of Famer Brent Kaeding lead everyone with four wins each. Another Hall of Famer and NARC great Tim Green is a three-time winner of the event alongside Rico Abreau and Justin Sanders. Sanders won last year's Patterson Tribute to win the 2024 NARC championship in walk-off fashion after an intense points battle with Cole Macedo. Other Hall of Famers who have won the Patterson Tribute include Jimmy Sills (twice), Jeff Swindell and Paul McMahan. WHO ELSE TO WATCH Campbell's Bud Kaeding, another former NARC champion, is surprisingly one of the big names who has not won a Patterson main event, and this Saturday he will look to join his father Brent and brother Tim as a winner of the prestigious event. Kaeding, winner of the Johnny Key Classic at Ocean Speedway in August, sits third in the points going into the finale. Aromas's Justin Sanders, last year's "King of the West" who leads everyone with seven NARC victories this year aboard the Mittry Motorsports No. 2x, will look to cap off his season a win that would tie him with Brent Kaeding and Steve Kent for most Patterson wins. Fremont's Shane Golobic is still looking for his first NARC win this season but is twice a winner of the Patterson and would like to win his third on Saturday. This year's Dave Bradway Jr Memorial winner Dominic Gorden will be in attendance and is looking for a third career NARC win to cap off his season. Fresno's Mariah Ede is expected to race on Saturday and will wrap up NARC Rookie of the Year honors. Former NARC champion Dominic Scelzi of Fresno is expected, along with Templeton's Kaleb Montgomery, Lemoore's Gauge Garcia, Redding's Max Mittry, Windsor's John Clark, Gilroy's Jarrett Soares, and Benecia's Billy Aton. FAN INFO The Stockton Dirt Track is located at the San Joaquin County Fairgrounds at 1658 S Airport Way in Stockton. Saturday's event will see front gates open at 4:00 p.m. with opening ceremonies scheduled for 6:00p.m. with racing to follow.

Tickets are $30 for adults, $25 for juniors ages 12-17, $25 for seniors 65 and older, $25 for military, and kids 11 and under are in for $10.

There is a Friday night show also as part of this year's Tribute to Gary Patterson, with the 360 Sprint Car Challenge Tour in action, giving two nights of sprint car action for those arriving in Stockton a day early. Sunday will see the annual NARC season ending banquet at the Brookside Country Club, honoring the season champion and other top performers during the 2025 season, and other special awards will be presented as well.

- Halloween showdown wraps up SCCT season at Stockton Dirt Track Friday
Stockton, CA…What started in March will conclude this Friday when the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour tackles the Stockton Dirt Track to open the 42nd annual Tribute to Gary Patterson on Halloween. The event has morphed back into a double header weekend with the Sprint Car Challenge Tour, the Joe Hunt Magnetos Wingless Tour and West Coast Pro Stocks launching things on Friday October 31st. Kids 12 and under wearing a costume will receive free admission in the stands on Halloween. Teams are also encouraged to bring candy for a Trick or Treat in the pit area following the races.

Plenty of camping is available on the fairgrounds for those who want to make a weekend out of it at the Tribute to Gary Patterson. "Everyone with Noceti Group is looking forward to GP weekend this Friday and Saturday," said Stockton Dirt Track Promoter Tony Noceti. "We continue doing work on this track to try and give teams the best possible surface. Back in March it was dialed in a little more and I feel that we should have two great nights of racing to finish off the championships." The Shop Kyle Larson SCCT main event will hand out $3,000-to-win/ $400-to-start during the Halloween night spectacular. It marks the first event at the Stockton Dirt Track for the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour since last season. Sacramento youngster Austin Wood brings the point lead into the Halloween finale, as he searches to become the youngest champion in SCCT history. The 15-year-old has been an exceptional qualifier this year and hopes to finish off the title in style with a win at the Stockton Dirt Track. "We are excited for Stockton on Friday and will be looking to have a solid night," commented Wood. "My team and all our supporters have helped put us in this position heading into the SCCT finale. It would mean a lot to become the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour champion." Yuba City's Seth Standley will also be looking for a strong night to finish out the SCCT season. The 19-year-old holds down second in the standings and is 57-points back of Wood. Montana's Cole Schroeder, SCCT Western Sprint Tour champion Max Mittry and Marysville's Dawson Hammes round out the top five. Brentwood's Adrianna Demartini, Santa Rosa's Tyler Cato, Elk Grove's Bubba Decaires, Marysville's Carson Hammes and Fresno's Dominic Scelzi complete the top 10 heading into the Stockton Dirt Track. Known as the "Dancing Phantom from Stockton," the "Preacher," the "Hostile Hippie" or just simply "GP," Gary Patterson was one of the most colorful characters of his time and captured several major wins in his career, including the Gold Cup Race of Champions, the Super Dirt Cup in Washington and the Turkey Night Grand Prix at Ascot Park among others. Patterson lost his life in a Sprint Car crash at Calistoga Speedway on Memorial Day weekend 1983 and an event in his memory has been held every year since. "GP" moved to Stockton, California in 1957 and began his career at the Stockton 99 Speedway. This year marks the 13th season in a row that we've paid honor to Patterson in Stockton.
