In 2025, two preliminary events will be held on Friday, each offering a $5,000-to-win prize. The field will be divided into two groups based on a pill draw, with each group competing in a full program of Dirt Draft Hot Laps, Allstar Performance Time Trials, Heat Races, B-Mains, and their respective 25-lap segments A-Main. The top 16 drivers in points from Friday's preliminary events will automatically qualify for the A-Main on Saturday, while the remaining drivers will start in a B-Main. On Friday, the pit gate will open at 3:00 PM, the general admission gate at 4:00 PM, with a driver's meeting scheduled for 7:00 PM. Hot Laps are set to begin at 7:30 PM.

The IMCA Modifieds will compete in a complete program each night.

- Justyn Cox strikes for first Placerville Speedway win of season on Red Hawk Casino Night
Placerville, CA…Clarksburg's Justyn Cox, Oakley's Nick Baldwin, Auburn's Ray Trimble and Lotus' Shawn Whitney snagged Placerville Speedway victories on Saturday during Red Hawk Resort + Casino Night. Cox ended up leading flag to flag in the Thompson's Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Car finale aboard the Berco Redwood No. 42x mount. It marked his initial triumph of the season, and the 13th of his Placerville Speedway Winged 360 career, giving him sole possession of 14th all-time. Extra money was on the line for the top three finishers in the race in memory of Don London, who we paid tribute to in opening ceremonies. The 25-lap Winged Sprint Car finale took a total of five attempts to complete one lap. When things finally got going, Cox moved out front and scooted away, while the action behind him turned out to be particularly entertaining. Several drivers fought it out including championship contender Tony Gomes, who did exactly what he needed to do in the battle for the title. The Modesto competitor moved into third on lap 13 and then snagged second a few laps from the finish. The runner up result gives Gomes a three-point lead atop the standings heading into the Forni-Humphreys Classic championship finale on September 13th. Placerville's Shane Hopkins motored his way from 12th to third to earn the Hard Charger Award, with Auburn's Andy Forsberg and Sacramento's Austin Wood rounding out the top five. It was a marvelous rebound for Wood, who went to the rear at one point after being in a turn four collision. His charge back forward keeps him just three markers behind Gomes going into the finale. Completing the top 10 in the feature were Cole Schroeder, Dylan Bloomfield, Chance Grasty, Kenny Wanderstadt and Steel Powell. The Red Hawk Resort + Casino Pure Stock feature saw Placerville's Tyler Lightfoot jump out front and set a quick pace over the early stages. Point leader Nick Baldwin carved his way into second after not too long and began to hound the leader. Lightfoot had captured the Carnett Clash during the previous week and looked to fend off Baldwin to make it back-to-back wins in the division. With just a handful of laps remaining however, Lightfoot slowed with issues down the back stretch. Baldwin had nowhere to go and contacted the rear of the No. 23j machine but was able to continue. Following that the six-time Placerville Speedway champion cruised away to collect his 38th career Pure Stock win, putting him one shy of tying Dan Jinkerson. Kevin Jinkerson, Ryan Peter, Michael Murphy and Colton Arbogast finished second through fifth respectively. The Nor-Cal Dwarf Car Association put on a tremendous show in the main event, during what could be described as an instant classic. Multiple different leaders and side-by-side racing was prevalent during the 20-lapper. Shawn Whitney moved out front at the waving of the Ed Entz green flag, with the action behind him as hot as the blistering summer weather during the day. Several movers and shakers were seen as positions changed regularly. Lincoln's Dylan Shrum then marched to the front with he and Whitney putting on a show for the fans on hand. The pair split a lapped car with eight laps remaining, but Whitney got sideways and stalled to draw a caution. After restarting at the tail Whitney proceeded to blast all the way back to the front and challenge Shrum over the final circuits. The thrilling finish saw Whitney beat out Shrum by 0.002 seconds at the scoring loop. Ben Wiesz, Brenden Shrum and Brandon Aylesworth completed the top five. The Dwarf Cars also went home with extra money in memory of Don London. The Kings Meats Ltd. Late Model main event was all about Ray Trimble, who snagged the win over Tyler Lightfoot, Chris Mcginnis and Rod Oliver. Placerville Speedway returns to action this coming Saturday with the 49er Gold Rush Classic featuring Kubota High Limit Racing and BCRA Lightning Sprints.

- On Cloud Nine! Stambaugh Earns Ninth GLSS Win Saturday at Silver Bullet
Owendale, MI - In 2017, on his way to his first career Great Lakes Super Sprints Championship, Jared Horstman collected a record 11 feature wins. After Saturday night's event with the MacAllister CAT Great Lakes Super Sprints Presented by PERFIT & ARP, Stambaugh is now within two wins of the record. Alex Clute and Phil Gressman led the field to the green flag ahead of 25 laps on Saturday night. Gressman jumped out to the early lead as Stambaugh and Mike Keegan hustled three wide around Clute. On lap 11 in heavy lapped traffic, Stambaugh found the outside of the race track which had been bottom-dominant all night long. Stambaugh ripped around Gressman down the backstretch before setting sail out front. Meanwhile, the rest of the top five were bumper-to-bumper trying to gain position. Gressman, Keegan, and Dustin Daggett negotiated the terms for the final rung of the podium amid thick lapped traffic. With less than five laps to go, Daggett moved into the second spot while Gressman held off Keegan and a charging Jared Horstman. At the finish, Max Stambaugh collected his ninth win of the season ahead of Daggett, Gressman, Keegan, and Horstman. With the win, Stambaugh moves into second on the all-time Great Lakes Super Sprints wins list with 27. He trails Horstman who has 31.

In the process, Pierce became the first driver in the history of the event to win three years in a row, as he also became the first driver to win four North/South 100s in his career. Pierce and Jonathan Davenport had a spirited battle for the lead after a lap 52 caution that saw the two competitors get together several times before Pierce was able to pull away. Devin Moran got to second on lap 65 and had a shot at Pierce after a caution came out with eight laps to go, but Pierce was able to get a good restart and drive off for the win. Moran lost the second spot to Ricky Thornton Jr. on lap 98, and then on the final lap, Davenport was able to secure the last Big River Steel Podium spot as he also got Moran. Moran finished fourth, with Zack Dohm rounding out the top five drivers. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 28th time in his career and for the fourth time this season, he earned a hard-fought win after starting on the outside of the seventh row. "I've been in this position before. I was in a bad mood because I didn't want to start that far back; you know, it's a lot harder that way. We were coming through the field, and I was worried about my tires. I was spinning really bad in some sections, but then in others, I was really hooked up. It was tough, and once I got to second, I was trying to win the race. I got the job done. I can't thank my team enough and everyone who helps me out. And thank you to the fans for coming out and watching." Pierce was asked in Victory Lane about his battle with Davenport after the lap-52 caution that saw the two drivers go back and forth for the lead, which also included contact between the two. "It was about halfway through the race, but you want to get the lead as quickly as you can because if the track transitions, you never know what could happen. Last year, here it went to the bottom, and it was really hard to run the top toward the end of the race. So I didn't want to give anyone that opportunity if I could take it. I was planning to take the lead and just hold on for the rest of the race. Sometimes, it's a lot easier to lead late in the race than to run in second, especially with a restart where you're double-file again. Yes, we raced hard—me and JD—and I know he was mad, but it's just hard racing here." Thornton, who got the runner-up spot, took home $25,000 for second and cut Davenport's point lead to five heading to Batesville, Arkansas, next weekend for the Topless 100. "I definitely felt like I was running as hard as I could there, and it just wasn't enough. Bobby's stuff was really good. I could barely see him in the last couple of laps, so we will go back to the drawing board and try to improve. The track was a little different than it usually is here; typically, the curb isn't that big—it's usually against the wall. But this time, it was about a car length off the wall. I feel like we have good speed, though not quite the great speed we had at the start of the year." Davenport, who was aiming for his third North/South 100 victory, led 60 of the 100 laps but finished in third place. "Obviously, he (Pierce) is always right, so I don't know how to throw sliders, and he does. I won't sit here and talk bad about him, because he's really good. We all know the top is going to be very competitive here at Florence, and I was just running my race and keeping my tires under me. I was planning to try and make a run back at him in the last 10 or 15 laps since I knew he was probably going to pass me and be gone, but that's just how this place races. I have a lot of damage, but I still managed to get back to third."
