- WET WEATHER WASHES OUT APRIL 4TH NARC EVENT AT OCEAN SPEEDWAY. STOCKTON CANCELED ALSO!
(April 1, 2025 - Jim Allen) Watsonville, CA... The NARC 410 Sprint Car Series event scheduled for Friday, April 4th at Ocean Speedway has been canceled due to extremely wet weather conditions affecting the pit area. Promoter John Prentice stated, "I would need four straight days of 80-degree temperatures to have any chance of drying out the pit area. Unfortunately, the weather isn't going to cooperate." Consequently, this cancellation, along with the earlier cancellation of the Saturday event at the Stockton Dirt Track, results in the complete cancellation of the race weekend for the NARC sprint cars. Neither event will be rescheduled. The next scheduled race for the NARC series is the highly anticipated Mini-Gold Cup at Chico, featuring a stout $10,000 winners payday. Unfortunately, this is NOT an April Fool's joke!

- PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY TO REDUCE CAR SPEEDS FOR SAFETY
(Perris, CA, April 1, 2025) Perris Auto Speedway promoter Don Kazarian has unveiled a comprehensive plan aimed at enhancing the safety of racing by implementing speed reduction measures. The initiative, which is set to commence at this Saturday's sprint car and stock car show, will introduce new speed limits that must be adhered to by all drivers. The plan stipulates that drivers who exceed the newly established speed limits will face penalties. These penalties will include the addition of weight to their cars or the use of different tire compounds, which are intended to reduce the speed and performance of their cars. This measure is designed to ensure that races are conducted at safer speeds, thereby reducing the risk of accidents and enhancing overall safety for drivers and spectators alike. Safety improvements continue to evolve as innovation advances in racing. The same can be said of speed. The cars continually get faster. Kazarian had been thinking of ways to make things safer for drivers without adding additional costs for car owners for quite some time. The speed limit idea came to him a couple of weeks ago and he has diligently been working to have everything in place for this Saturday's race. "I have been wanting to make racing safer for a long time," Kazarian said. " Everything I came up with seemed like it was gonna' cost the car owners a lot of extra money. Even at the bottom levels, this sport is very expensive. The other night, when I was lying in bed unable to sleep and staring at the ceiling, it hit me. Establish a speed limit. I was so excited; I woke up my wife to tell her about it. She told me to go back to sleep and tell her in the morning." Once the idea hit, Kazarian had to find ways to enforce the new rule. Simply eyeballing a car when it went down the straightaway would not work. So, he took a trip to the swap meet in Tijuana and picked up a radar system and a light bar. "I picked up a trick radar system that will fit comfortably in a sprint car and a light bar to mount on the top of the cage," said the longtime promoter. "They are both made by the Acme Electronics Company. I tested both of them and they work very well. They are ready to work on Saturday, and some drivers are going to be in for a surprise when they are caught." Mounting the light bar on top of the cage was no problem at all. It features your standard police special red and blue beacons. However, it is obviously smaller than you see on a police car on the street. Once the radar detects a car traveling too fast, the red and blue lights will be activated to warn the driver. The offending driver will not be immediately penalized. He will be given two laps to comply unless he is detected after the white flag. In that case, he has to slow down immediately. What may have seemed like the hardest part was the thought of who would wheel the car with the radar and beacon. However, Kazarian pointed out, it was really not hard at all. "When I had the idea of who would wheel the car, I immediately thought of one driver," Kazarian said. "It was Jeff Dyer. In addition to racing sprint cars, he is a longtime California Highway Patrol officer. Who would be better to fill the bill of catching speeders?" Dyer, who lives in Yucca Valley, has raced open-wheel cars for over a decade. He began and still races lightning sprint cars, where he has posted several wins. He has also been racing 410 sprint cars for quite some time. "I was excited to get Don's call," said the driver of the yellow #39 sprint car and the #4 lightning sprint. "The toughest part will be the radar gun. Handling it while racing simultaneously is going to be a challenge. Especially getting the radar mounted. We have a couple of ideas we plan on trying." While looking for speeders in the sprint cars, Dyer will also be competing. However, with the stock cars, the senior and young gun sprints, he will only be patrolling, and looking for the law breakers like he does on the California freeway system. In addition, he will be on patrol and doing his duty at the Nights of Destruction featuring figure 8 races, figure 8 trailer races (he will not be required to pull a trailer), mini stocks, demo cross, and double deckers. "Don never said anything about having to do it at Night of Destruction," Dyer commented. "I had not planned on that. I need to discuss that with him a bit further. Perhaps he will let me use his truck on those nights, as I sure do not want to waste a racecar." When asked what the drivers and owners thought of this new idea, Kazarian said, "Except for Jeff, when they read this, it will be the first time they have heard of it. I am sure word will travel fast." The speed limits for the sprint car and stock cars will be posted on the PAS website (www.perrisautospeedway.com) and the Facebook page on Thursday or Friday. Additionally, all aspects, including speed limits, will be discussed at the driver's meetings on Saturday. "Spectator gates will open at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, and we will explain everything to the fans before cars are on the track." Kazarian then added with a wink and a smile, "I hope everyone has a happy and fun April Fool's Day." For fans who wish, advance tickets for all of the USAC/CRA & PASSCAR, and Night of Destruction shows are available at https://www.tix.com/ticket-sales/pas/7 or by calling 800-595-4849. For fans who do not wish to purchase advance tickets, there will be plenty available for everyone at the ticket window each night.

- AFTER A SEVEN-WEEK DELAY, PASSCAR SUPER STOCKS WILL MAKE 2025 SEASON DEBUT SATURDAY AT PERRIS
(Perris, CA, March 31, 2025) After a seven-week delay necessitated by a rainout on February 15th, the PASSCAR Super Stock Series will make its much-anticipated 2025 season debut this Saturday night, April 5th, at Perris Auto Speedway. The fastest stock cars at the track will be joined by the PASSCAR Factory Stocks, PAS Senior & Young Gun Sprints, and the headlining Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars, promising fans an action-packed night of racing. Spectator gates will open at 5:00 p.m. Early-arriving fans will be treated to half-price Budweiser Beer and two for the price of one Pepsi's until 6:00. At 7:00, Steve Russell will officially commence the racing with his green flag, signaling the start of an exhilarating evening of high-speed thrills. Last season in the super stock class, Yucaipa's Chuck Becker and Billy Griffin of Buena Park tied for the championship. Over the years at the track that celebrated its 29th anniversary on Sunday, Becker and Griffin have each won four track championships. Becker is ready to launch his bid for title #5 on Saturday. On Monday, Griffin texted from an airport in Japan, where he was waiting to return home from vacation, that he was not sure if his car would be ready for Saturday night. Another driver returning on Saturday is Rick Arringdale. The Victorville resident was the PAS Stock Car champion in 1999 and 2001. He made a return to The PAS for one race in 2024. On September 21st, he shook off the rust and raced in the super stock class. He finished ninth after starting the 20-lap main event in 10th. Arringdale plans to have a busier season in 2025 and is looking to purchase a street stock car. Among the other drivers expected to race on Saturday are 2023 super stock champion Ricky Lee of Banning, 2022 titlist Tyson Talkington of Riverside, 2014 champ Blaine Whitson of Temecula, the father and son team of Mike and Tyler Gitmed from Chino, Tom Davis of Riverside, Canyon lake's Tom Wesolowski, and Beaumont's Steve Welch. For the PASSCAR Factory Stocks, PAS Senior & Young Gun Sprints, and the USAC/CRA Sprint Cars, it will be the second rodeo for each at The PAS in 2025. Canyon Lake's David Lee, a two-time Factory Stock champion, and James Keller of Crestline are tied for the Factory Stock point lead. Stites won the season-opening main event on March 1st, and Keller placed second. However, based on a better heat race finish, Keller is tied for the point lead with Stites going into Saturday. Sixty-five-year-old Bob Suchy of Tustin opened the defense of his 2024 PAS Senior championship with a win on March 1st. On the same night, teenager Jake McKee took home the winner's hardware in the Young Gun Sprint Car main. Both are expected to head their respective fields on Saturday. Tickets for those 13 and older for Saturday's clay slinging show are $35.00. Seniors 65 and over get in for $30.00. It is $10.00 for kids 6-12, and children five and under are free. The fairgrounds charge $20.00 for parking. There will be plenty of tickets available at the ticket window on Saturday for everyone.

- Prospectors Pursuit brings Winged Sprint Cars, Midgets, Lightning Sprints and Pure Stocks to Placerville
Placerville, CA…The Berco Redwood championship season continues this Saturday at Placerville Speedway with an exciting trio of Open Wheel divisions being joined by the Red Hawk Resort + Casino Pure Stocks. After hosting the Sprint Car Challenge Tour last weekend, the El Dorado County Fairgrounds bullring is set to resume the Berco Redwood/ Hoosier Tire/ Coors Light championship point season at the "Prospectors Pursuit." The Thompson's Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Cars are ready for their second point race of the season on Saturday. Auburn's Andy Forsberg, the 10-time track champ, picked up his 73rd Winged 360 victory at the track on opening night. It turned out to be a close battle to the finish between himself and 15-year-old Austin Wood of Sacramento. Both Forsberg and Wood ran in the top five with SCCT last week and figure to be among the front runners at the Prospectors Pursuit. Lincoln's Tanner Carrick, Suisun City's Chance Grasty and Redding's Max Mittry finished third through fifth respectively at the opener two weeks ago. The Red Hawk Resort + Casino Pure Stocks also contest their second point race of 2025 on Saturday. Oakley's Nick Baldwin showed that he is still the man to beat on opening night by snagging his 33rd career Placerville triumph. Diamond Springs' Kevin Jinkerson has been a mark of consistency for the last several years and ran second on opening night ahead of Tommy Sturgeon, Wayne Trimble and Tyler Lightfoot. Saturday's Prospector Pursuit marks the debut race for the new California Super Series featuring the Bay Cities Racing Association and Western Midget Racing. Adding to the excitement will be the USAC Western States Midgets, as all three of the Midget organizations in the Golden State take part in a "Nor-Cal Challenge." Rounding out the card will be the BCRA Lightning Sprints, who also open their 2025 campaign. Livermore's Greg Dennet captured three wins last season en route to the title.

The third-year 410 Sprint Car competitor topped off the memorable evening with a career-best fourth-place A-main finish. In 30 410 Sprint Car events during the 2024 season, Hartmann tallied one top five, nine top 10 and 16 top 15 A-main showings, while recording one dash victory in seven dash appearances and winning one B main on the way to finishing a career-best seventh in the final 2024 IRA point standings. Hartmann is eager to begin another full-time run with the IRA while mixing in assorted starts with the World of Outlaws, High Limit, All Stars and FAST series to round out an ambitious schedule stacked with 43 events. "I'm looking forward to this season," Hartmann said. "The team put a lot of work in during the offseason. We are in the best position engine and car package-wise to contend for feature wins." 87A Hartmann Racing 2025 sponsorship partners include Kristine Hartmann Pleasantview Realty, Shufflebotham Tree Service, The Dispensary, Metalcraft, Ludwig & Sons Trucking, Quasius Construction, Holler n' Hills, Rich's Truck & Auto Repair and Hepfner Racing Products.
