- Jesse Schlotfeldt dominates Speedweek Round 3 at The Douglas County Dirt Track
Roseburg, Oregon…Arlington, Washington's Jesse Schlotfeldt turned in a dominating performance on night three of SCCT WST Speedweek at The Douglas County Dirt Track, grabbing his first career Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour victory. The driver of the Grinders Automotive & Marine/ Shark Racing Engines No. 21s started from the outside of the front row and never looked back in the 35-lap Shop Kyle Larson main event. "That main event could not have gone better for us," Schlotfeldt commented after the race. "This car was phenomenal, and I could put it anywhere on the track. I tried to be as wise as possible through traffic and luckily, we got through it pretty well. I want to thank everybody that supports us and makes this possible." The initial start saw a red flag occur for Kelly Miller, who flipped onto his side in between turns one and two. He emerged okay but was done for the night. On the next attempt Schlotfeldt shot out front and quickly distanced himself from the rest of the pack. Schlotfeldt placed five lapped cars between himself and the rest of the field multiple times during the contest. He sat out front by a wide margin for much of it and although Burlington, Washington's Levi Hillier did cut the gap down, there was nothing stopping Schlotfeldt on this night. He went on to take the checkered flag for his sixth overall win of the season and initial SCCT score. Hillier looked impressive in the feature as well, making multiple strong moves to record a runner up finish in his Sprint Car Challenge Tour debut. Fresno's Dominic Scelzi rebounded nicely in the feature, carving his way from 13th to third by the finish. The two-time NARC champ was fun to watch moving through the pack. Redding's Max Mittry put together a solid night, winning the High Sierra Industries Dash, before running second for more than half the feature. He eventually crossed the stripe in fourth, followed by Cottage Grove, Oregon's Kinzer Cox. Completing the top 10 were Modesto's Tony Gomes, El Cajon's Braden Chiaramonte, Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Award winner Cole Schroeder from Bozeman, Montana who drove from 20th to eighth, Yuba City's Seth Standley and 19th starter Tyler Thompson's from Harrisburg, Oregon. A total of 29 cars competed on round three of Speedweek. Jesse Schlotfeldt began the evening by earning the Sierra Foothills Wine Services Fast Time Award with a lap of 12.602, which was good enough to set a new all-time 360 track record at The Douglas County Dirt Track. SCCT Western Sprint Tour Speedweek continues Tuesday night at the Coos Bay Speedway in Coos Bay, Oregon. Kinzer Cox goes into the event leading Braden Chiaramonte by five points at the top of the standings. Austin Wood has also taken over the top spot in the season long championship points going into Tuesday.

- Outlaw, Woodhull To Close Out July for Empire Super Sprints
By Curtis Berleue (Dundee, NY) | As the month of July comes to a close, the Empire Super Sprints are rapidly closing in on the half-way point of their 2025 season. To finish off the month, two more events are on tap, with a trip to the Outlaw Speedway this Friday, followed by the tour's lone stop at the Woodhull Raceway on Saturday. Friday night, the Empire Super Sprints will compete in the annual Outlaw Summer Nationals, boasting one of the highest paydays of the season with $4,010.10 to the winner on the line commemorating the 10th running of the event. This will be the first of four scheduled stops at the Yates County oval, as the event scheduled in April fell to Mother Nature. Last July, it was Matt Tanner who picked up the Outlaw Summer Nationals, and he will be looking to repeat that feat this weekend. Saturday night, the tour moves just south to the Woodhull Raceway. Dubbed 'New Yorks Toughest Bullring', the high banks of the Woodhull Raceway always provide some of the best action on the schedule. In 2024, Jared Zimbardi picked up the win at Woodhull over Billy VanInwegen and Jason Barney. Additional support on the weekend will come from Lanes Yamaha and Grimes Dairy equipment. Both companies have signed on as the presenting sponsor of the Cobra Dash Series dash's this weekend, with Lanes Yamaha presenting the dash Friday at Outlaw, and Grimes Dairy Equipment supporting Saturday's dash at Woodhull. The points standings remain largely unchanged after last weekends events at Albany-Saratoga and Fonda, with Jordan Poirier still atop the leaderboard with a 160 point advantage over Dylan Swiernik. Jason Barney sits in third, with Paulie Colagiovanni fourth and Davie Franek rounding out the top five. For a full list of gate times and admission prices to both events this weekend, please be sure to visit the Outlaw Speedway and Woodhull Raceway social media pages and websites, along with the Empire Super Sprints social media pages.

- Schlotfeldt Dominates SCCT/WST Speedweek Round 3 at Douglas County

- THE NARC SPRINT CARS ARE HEADED TO THE "SHOWDOWN AT SANTA MARIA" ON SATURDAY
(7/21/25 - Andrew Kunas) Santa Maria, CA ... -The "Cooler Weather Tour" continues for the NARC King of the West 410 sprint car series this Saturday, July 26th, when the series makes its annual visit to Santa Maria Speedway for the "Showdown at Santa Maria." Santa Maria Speedway, for most of its history that goes back to 1964, has been a regular stop for sprint cars, winged and non-wing. The track had faced closure a couple of times over the years, but recently got back up and running again and in 2024 it returned to the NARC schedule after a three-year absence. Last year's NARC event saw a wild finish in which Justyn Cox tangled with a slower car and flipped upside down on the final lap, costing him a victory. Chase Johnson took advantage and picked up his fourth career NARC win. He was joined on the podium by Kaleb Montgomery and Gauge Garcia, a pair of drivers worth keeping an eye on this Saturday. Montgomery is still hunting for his first NARC victory but has shown flashes at times. Montgomery, who lives just up the road from Santa Maria Speedway in Templeton, has turned in strong runs this season, including finishing fifth and sixth respectively during last weekend's Howard Kaeding Classic at Ocean Speedway. Finishing runner-up at Santa Maria last year and having won the USAC/CRA non-wing race at the same track in May, Montgomery could see this Saturday's race as the one where he gets his first NARC win. Garcia, from Lemoore, is also still searching for a NARC win. He and the Paso Robles-based Keller Motorsports No. 2k team have fought motor problems throughout the season, but have performed well in several main events, often passing many cars and on four occasions this season Garcia earned the Williams Roofing Hard Charger award. Before last year's return to Santa Maria, the last NARC race at Santa Maria Speedway was in 2021, and it was Benicia's Billy Aton who scored his first NARC victory that night. Saturday's event is part of NARC's "Cooler Weather Tour," as some have called it, the current stretch of events for the series happening at tracks along the California coast, where race teams and fans can expect more comfortable temperatures while it is typically very hot in the California interior. WHO ELSE TO WATCH Harrisburg, Oregon's Tyler Thompson has quietly put together a very solid and consistent season as he chases the NARC Rookie of the Year award aboard the Main Motorsports No. 35km. In 15 regular NARC events (not counting the special format seeing inverted main event fields at Skagit Speedway's Super Dirt Cup in June), Thompson recorded ten Top 10 finishes in those races, many of which had been at tracks he hadn't seen before. His best run was a third place finish on May 16th at Ocean Speedway, and in that race Thompson briefly challenged eventual race winner Justin Sanders for the lead. Thompson sits third overall in the points and has twice posted quick time in Automotive Racing Products Qualifying, twice won a heat race and twice earned the hard charger nod. Many have recently begun looking at Thompson as another driver due to make a big breakthrough in 410 sprint car competition. Former NARC champion D.J. Netto of Hanford, twice a winner this season and second in the points entering the weekend, along with 2005 NARC champion Sean Becker from Oroville, and 2019 series king Bud Kaeding from Campbell will fill out a stellar line-up of competitors. Others expected to compete include Fresno drivers Caeden Steele and Mariah Ede, Dominic Gorden from Clovis, Kansas driver Jace Park, Hollister's Ryan Bernal, and many others. FAN INFO Santa Maria Speedway is located at 1900 Hutton Road, right off of Hwy 101, in Nipomo, just north of Santa Maria itself. Tickets are $30 for adults, $28 for seniors 65+, military and students ages 11 to 17. Kids 10 and under are free. Front gates open at 4:00 p.m. with racing scheduled to begin at 6:00 p.m. Also scheduled to race are IMCA Racesaver sprints, BCRA lightning sprints and dwarf cars. ABOUT NARC The Northern Auto Racing Club is the premier 410 winged sprint car series in the western United States.

- Varin Tops ESS Field at Fonda
By Curtis Berleue (Fonda, NY) | For the ninth time in the last ten visits to the Fonda Speedway for the Empire Super Sprints, it was Danny Varin in victory lane. The nearly unbeatable driver from just down the road added yet another victory to his win tally on Saturday night, picking up another Earl Halaquist Memorial at the 'Track of Champions' worth $2,000. Pinnacle Pole Award recipient Paulie Colagiovanni led the field to green alongside of Jordan Thomas for the 25 lap event. Colagiovanni looked to have the lead as the field entered turn one, but by the time they hit the backstretch it was Danny Varin in command of the field, coming from his third starting spot. Varin opened his lead up to almost a half-straight almost immediately, with Colagiovanni, Jordan Poirier, Davie Franek and Thomas in tow. By lap 8, Varin caught the back of the field and had just begun to work lap traffic when the caution flew for a spinning Mike Kiser in turn two. When the green flag flew again, Varin again began building his lead over the rest of the field. Behind the top three, it was Shawn Donath who was putting on a show, having passed multiple cars using the extreme high side of the speedway and working his way up to fourth. His success was short lived, as he ultimately ventured just a little too high off of turn two, catching the wall and flipping with just 7 laps remaining. As action resumed, Varin again paced the field over Colagiovanni and Poirier. Dylan Swiernik was making a late-race charge, and with just four laps to go he got by both Poirier and Colagiovanni using the same line Donath had been working just laps earlier. Making a late charge, Swiernik got within three car lengths of Varin on the last lap, but Varin was able to hang on to capture his second Empire Super Sprints win of 2025. "I didn't think that this was going to happen tonight," said Varin. "We weren't very good in the heat race, didn't really feel like we could roll around people. You had to just hit your marks perfect and not make mistakes." After starting eighth, Dylan Swiernik made a late race charge but came up one spot short of victory lane. "We started off a little too tight, had too much fuel and didn't have the balance we wanted," said Swiernik. "When that red came out, I was able to kinda reset in my mind and pull the wing forward, tell myself I knew what I needed to do on the top side." Jordan Poirier rounded out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium, finishing third and marking his second podium finish in as many nights. The field was split into two timed hot lap groups, with Danny Varin and Jordan Poirier earning Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards. Elab Smokers Boutique heat wins went to Paulie Colagiovanni and Jordan Poirier, while Joe Trenca picked up the win in the One Zee Tees dash. The next scheduled event for the Empire Super Sprints is this coming Friday July 25th at the Outlaw Speedway in Dundee, NY for the Outlaw Summer Nationals paying $4,000 to win.

- Poirier Back in Victory Lane at Albany-Saratoga
By Curtis Berleue (Malta, NY) | For the fourth time in 2025, Jordan Poirier is an Empire Super Sprints winner. Though he started on the pole, it was far from an easy night for the Quebec driver as he held off multiple charges from Paulie Colagiovanni and Danny Varin en-route to his $2,000 victory. Jordan Poirier and Jeff Trombley brought the field to the initial green flag, and it was Poirier who grabbed the early lead. Paulie Colagiovanni followed in his tracks to take second, but Trombley fought back to reclaim the runner-up spot. Behind the lead trio, Shawn Donath was comfortably in fourth with Danny Varin just behind in fifth. After 5 laps, Trombley came under fire once again from Colagiovanni, with Colagiovanni clearing the #3A of Trombley via a slide job in turns one and two. As Poirier caught lap traffic, Colagiovanni was catching him and by lap 9 Colagiovanni was right on his tail tank. He wasn't able to make anything of his hard work though, as the caution flew for Jeff Trombley who had slowed in turn four. On the ensuing restart, Poirier again jumped out to the lead with Colagiovanni and now Danny Varin in tow for third. A handful of laps later, Colagiovanni was again within striking distance of Poirier and cleared a slide job in turns one and two. His lead was short lived, however, as Poirier was able to turn back under Colagiovanni and re-take the lead down the backstretch. A late race restart would allow Danny Varin to get by Colagiovanni, and for the next few laps the duo would trade sliders for second until Varin mis-stepped on the cushion in turn two and went over the bank, bringing out another caution. With a clear track in front of him, nobody was able to catch Poirier who picked up his fourth win of 2025. "I knew he (Colagiovanni) was good up top early in the night," said Poirier. "I was cheating the cushion a little bit and then I started hearing him so I tried to venture up a little bit more." "My car was really good on the cushion, I thought 3 & 4 was going away at some point, but I just didn't want to miss out by going to the bottom and then it stayed good up top all race." Paulie Colagiovanni held on to second for his season-best finish thus far. "I thought I had a run on Jordan coming into three and four and I was going to slide him, but the caution came out," said Colagiovanni. "Every time the caution came out after that a couple of cars just got under me but I'm glad we hung on for second." Dylan Swiernik continued his strong season with another podium finish, rounding out the top three. "This is probably our favorite place to come to on the calendar," said Swiernik. "To come from twelfth to third here, we'll take it and move on to Fonda tomorrow." 24 cars signed into the pits on Friday night at Albany-Saratoga, and as such the field was split into three timed hot lap groups. Jason Barney, Danny Varin and Jordan Thomas earned Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards, while Barney, Davie Franek and Paulie Colagiovanni won Elab Smokers Boutique heat races. The We Know Tools dash was won by Kyle Smith. The next scheduled event for the Empire Super Sprints is Saturday July 19th at the Fonda Speedway in Fonda, NY.
