- SCCT finale at Stockton Dirt Track shifts to Friday October 31st
Stockton, CA…Officials with the Stockton Dirt Track have announced a date change for the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour season finale. Originally scheduled for November 8th, the event will now take place on Friday October 31st, creating a double header on Halloween weekend at the San Joaquin County Fairgrounds. The SCCT 360s will crown a champion during the show, while NARC 410 will do the same one night later on November 1st. The overall championship weekend pays tribute as always to the late great Gary Patterson. 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. The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour will contest a pair of events before the finale, with Petaluma Speedway's 14th annual Adobe Cup up next on Saturday September 20th. SCCT will also tackle Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare for the Trophy Cup Tune-Up on Saturday October 4th.

- Hartmann tallies 2025 IRA best at Beaver Dam Raceway
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 30, 2025 - In a season that has put Austin Hartmann and the members of the 87A Hartmann Racing Team to the test many times over, a solid weekend overall effort highlighted with a season-best showing was just what the doctor ordered in a back to back to back Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association weekend of action. The IRA tripleheader opened at Mississippi Thunder Speedway in Fountain City, Wis., where Hartmann opened the night by turning in a 12.671-second qualifying lap to place 22nd in the 30-car field. From there, the 2020 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car Rookie of the Year Award winner placed seventh in the first eight-lap heat race before starting third and racing to victory in the IRA B main to advance to main event competition. Hartmann wrapped up the night with an 18th-place showing in the A-main. The following night saw Hartmann string together his best night of the 2025 season at Beaver Dam Raceway on Saturday, July 26. After qualifying 13th in the 34-car field with a lap of 12.947 seconds, the Plymouth, Wis. native placed third in the first heat race to gain the 13th starting spot in the 30-lap headliner. Hartmann stayed smooth and consistent in the main event to capture a season-best seventh-place showing. The weekend closed out on Sunday, Aug. 27, at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis., where Hartmann qualified 13th out of 31 cars before placing fifth in the first heat race and coming home 17th in the 30-lap main event. "It's crazy how humbling this sport can be," Hartmann said. "We had the best car all season and the worst in the matter of 24 hours. Ian, Eric, and Karlee did a great job helping the team this past weekend. We'll take a couple of weeks and dial in some equipment for the remainder of the season." The 87A Hartmann Racing Team is scheduled to resume its Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series campaign on Saturday, Aug. 16 at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis., during the Kenosha County Fair.

- Arenz pushes forward through three-race IRA weekend
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 30, 2025 - Following a three-week hiatus, Travis Arenz and the Travis Arenz Motorsports team hit the track for a three-race weekend of competition with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series action at Mississippi Thunder Speedway on Friday, July 25, Beaver Dam Raceway on Saturday, July 26 and Angell Park Speedway on Sunday, July 27. Arenz opened the weekend with a 20th-place qualifying effort with a lap of 12.622 seconds in the 30-car field at the third-mile high-banked Mississippi Thunder Speedway in Fountain City, Wis. on Friday, July 25. The 2021 and 2022 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car champion finished sixth in the second IRA heat race to roll off 18th in the 30-lap A-main. Arenz went on to advance eight spots to claim a solid 10th-place showing. The Sheboygan Falls, Wis. competitor found his groove at Beaver Dam Raceway on Saturday, July 26 by qualifying 11th in the 34-car field and gaining a dash berth by winning in the third heat race. After placing fourth in the first four-lap IRA dash, Arenz started seventh and moved up three spots to tally a weekend-best fourth-place finish in the 30-lap main event. At the historic Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis. on Sunday, July 27, Arenz managed to qualify 16th in the 31-car field. Following a sixth-place finish in the first heat race, Arenz gained the 17th starting position in the 30-lap Salute to Bryan Gapinski main event. Arenz clawed his way up six positions to cap off the weekend in 11th. "The weekend wasn't that great for us," Arenz said. "We didn't perform how I would have liked, but I am pleased we moved forward each night. We also tried some new setup things that didn't go the best. On a positive note, the car is in one piece, and we all survived the hot temperatures. The only real problem I had this weekend was Sunday at Angell Park. I started losing oil pressure in the heat race. Luckily, it was just a gauge failure." After a two-week hiatus, the team is scheduled to resume its Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series campaign on Saturday, Aug. 16 at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis., during the Kenosha County Fair. Spectator gates open at 4 p.m. with hot laps at 5:45 p.m. and racing at 6:45 p.m. Arenz will close out the weekend at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis., as part of Corn Fest on Sunday, Aug. 17.
