- Tony Gomes surges to 2nd Placerville Speedway win of the year on Kings Meats Night
Placerville, CA…Tony Gomes utilized a perfect restart on lap nine to grab the lead and never look back on way to his second Placerville Speedway triumph of the season on Kings Meats Burger Night Saturday. It marked the second consecutive season that Gomes and C&M Motorsports snagged a win with the Thompson's Winged Sprint Cars during Kings Meats Night. It was the eighth career Placerville Speedway Winged 360 score for the Modesto driver, matching him with Tanner Carrick, Kalib Henry and Glen Boune for 21st all-time. Sharing victory lane on Saturday were Kevin Jinkerson with both the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks and Mountain Democrat Mini Trucks, along with Jake Morgan with the Hunt Magnetos Wingless Tour. At the waving of the green flag in the 25-lap Thompson's Winged Sprint Car finale it was Aromas' Justin Sanders who jumped out front. Auburn's Andy Forsberg quickly moved to second and stayed within striking distance as lapped traffic came into play. With the intensity picking up Forsberg looked to capitalize a couple of times until a wild moment occurred on lap nine. Racing in traffic Sanders and a lapped car made the slightest contact, which sent both around. Sanders was remarkably able to keep going but the yellow waved as the lapped car stalled. Running third at the time, Tanner Carrick had nowhere to go and contacted the car, resulting in too much damage to continue. On the double file restart Tony Gomes got a great launch from the inside of row two, shooting by Forsberg and then making a bold move to drive under Sanders for the lead. After that Gomes had his way with things up front, as timely yellows kept leaders out of traffic. He marched away to accept the Darin Stahl checkered flag over Sanders, Sacramento's Austin Wood, Forsberg and Bozeman, Montana's Cole Schroeder who claimed his first Placerville top five result. Rounding out the top 10 were Chance Grasty, Steven Kent, Hard Charger Shane Hopkins, Cody Gray and Justyn Cox. Wood began the evening by blistering the quarter mile in 10.550 seconds to bring home the ADCO Driveline and Custom Exhaust Fast Time Award. Diamond Springs Kevin Jinkerson doubled his pleasure on Kings Meats Night, racing to victory with both the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks and Mountain Democrat Mini Trucks. On the Pure Stock side of things Sacramento's Jason Palmer led the first couple circuits, before Jinkerson carved his way by to take the lead. After that Jinkerson was oh so smooth up front and drove away to grab his first victory of the season and number 13 in his Placerville Speedway Pure Stock career. Point leader Nick Baldwin, Rio Linda's Ryan Peter, Placerville's Tyler Lightfoot and Auburn's Colton Arbogast completed the top five. With the Mini Trucks it was Howard Miller who set the pace early on. Jinkerson kept him honest though and would charge to the lead on lap six. The remaining distance saw him once again remain calm, cool and collected to take the checkered flag and his second Kings Meats meat box of the night. Howard Miller, final starter Mike Miller, Luke Costa and Paizlee Miller followed him across the line. In the 25-lap Joe Hunt Magnetos Wingless Tour feature it was Jake Morgan racing to his 12th career Non-Winged Sprint Car main event win at Placerville. Marysville's Josh Young got a tremendous start to lead the opening lap after starting from the second row. Morgan quickly moved into second after five laps and then reeled in the leader. Both Young and Morgan showed they were the class of the field on this night, pulling away from the pack. The complexion of the race then changed on lap 13 when a spun car in turn one forced leaders to take evasive action. Morgan was able to continue, but Young sat parked off the corner, forcing him to the rear. With Morgan out front that was all she wrote, as he pulled away to complete a clean sweep of the night's program. Bob Newberry, Anthony Bruno, Kaden Ramos and Shannon Newton comprised the top five. The evening began with drivers and teams honoring long time member of the racing family, Jimmy Wall, who is currently battling an illness. Promoter Scott Russell and long-time friend Andy Forsberg handled the ceremony and did a fantastic job. Placerville Speedway returns to action with a double header on Independence Day weekend. Friday July 4th is the annual Freedom Fireworks event, while Saturday July 5th brings the all open wheel Triple Crown to the track.

- Grants gets 1st Fremont win as USAC returns
FREMONT, Ohio - Justin Grant is having a great month of June. The Ione, California driver drove to his third consecutive USAC Amsoil Sprint Car National Champion Series win Saturday, June 28 on Sandusky Bay Remodeling Night at Fremont Speedway presented by Gill Construction. Grant inherited the lead when Robert Ballou, who had a nearly three second lead, flipped on lap 13. Grant held off many challenges from defending USAC sprint car champion Logan Seavey to score his sixth wingless feature win of 2025 and his 60th career USAC sprint car victory. It's his 10th overall USAC win this year as he leads the National Silver Crown and Midget series points and sits second in the sprint car division. Should Grant be able to pull off winning all three USAC titles he would garner $500,000. It was Grant's first career win at Fremont as USAC returned to "The Track That Action Built" for the first time in 22 years. Current USAC sprint car point leader Kyle Cummins finished third with Mitchel Moles and early race leader Chase Stockon rounding out the top five. "To be honest every time I came in I told my guys I feel terrible. I don't feel good. I didn't feel like I was putting great laps together. I was just trying to keep myself hard to pass. I kind of was in a little bit of conserve mode there at the end. I just really didn't feel good all night. Jeff Walker and Kevin, Jerry, Nick and NOS Energy Drink and MPV Logistics, Indy Custom Stone, all the employees at TOPP Industries that makes it possible for me to drive this thing…I'm just so appreciative," said Grant. Fremont's Paul Weaver, a five time Fremont Speedway track champion, took advantage when early race leader JJ Henes spun on lap five in the Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 feature. Weaver, who came into the night uncharacteristically winless in 2025, drove to his 82nd career win at Fremont, placing him second on the track's all-time win list. Zeth Sabo, Bryan Sebetto, Jamie Miller and Dustin Stroup rounded out the top five. "We tried a newer car this year and last year I was used to running used tires and these newer compounds have thrown me for a loop. We went back to the old car and the track got slick for us tonight," said Weaver beside his Steve Brown's B&B Drain Service, Hampshire Racing Engines, M&L Excavating, Seagate Sandblasting backed #1W. In the USAC D2 Thunder Midgets, Zach Wigal lead the first 15 laps before Luke Hall took over, leading until just five laps to go when Bryce Massingill took over. Massingill held off several challenges from Wigal to claim his third win of the season. Wigal, Hall, Jakeb Boxell, and Tyler Nelson rounded out the top five. Fremont Speedway will be back in action Saturday, July 5 for Family Fun Night with the Attica Fremont Championship Series 410 and 305 sprints and dirt trucks in action.

- Courtney shines as Kubota High Limit Diamond Classic wraps at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO. (June 28, 2025) - Tyler Courtney grabbed the lead on lap 18 and turned a close battle into a runaway Saturday night, earning the 2nd annual Kubota High Limit Racing Diamond Classic finale at Lucas Oil Speedway. Courtney, of Indianapolis, pocketed $25,000 for his first tour victory of the season. "Sunshine" outdistanced second-place Aaron Reutzel by more than six seconds, sprinting away from the competition after a restart on lap 19 - one circuit after the fourth-starting Courtney seized the lead. "We've been really good all weekend," Courtney said. "We had a part failure on Thursday and were probably a second-place car last night and tonight, I could put this car about wherever I wanted to. "We had won a few races up to this point last year. It sucks this is (only) our first one this year, but this is a great on to get. This is one of my favorite race tracks." Reutzel started third and wasted no time getting to the front, grabbing the lead away from Tanner Thorson on lap one. The Night One winner pulled away to a 2.2-second advantage by lap seven with Brad Sweet pressuring Thorson for second. Thorson then started to slice into the gap and drew within a half-second as the leaders encountered lapped traffic by lap 11. Reutzel fought him off until lap 15, when Thorson took over the top spot going by on the inside off turn two. Meanwhile, Courtney was lurking and by lap 18 and the 2024 Diamond Classic opening-night winner took the lead when Thorson spun in turn four. Thorson kept his machine moving, avoiding a caution, but fell back to seventh place. Courtney soon had a 1.3-second lead over Reutzel when the race's first caution flew a lap later as Xavier Doney came to a stop in turn four. After the restart, Courtney drew away to a 2.3-second lead by lap 25, putting him a commanding position over Reutzel with 10 to go. As he entered slower traffic, instead of finding trouble Courtney kept increasing his cushion to turn it into a runaway. "It's tough," Courtney said of getting to victory lane. "The whole roster we have at High Limit is incredibly talented. For us to get a win and get to drive by those guys to do it makes me feel good. You know you're beating the best guys to do it. Just a great weekend for us, besides the first night." Courtney's final margin was 6.1 seconds over Reutzel, but the runner-up took over the series points lead with another strong run. Reutzel had a win and a fifth to go with his runner-up finish and he exits with a nine-point series lead over Brad Sweet, who wound up fifth. The duo were tied at the start of the night. "Our car is good and our team is jelling," Reutzel said. "I think there are only good things to come. "It was some great racing," Reutzel added. "Just a lot of passing. The track was really, really good. I'm pumped to come back later in the year. This place truly is the Diamond of the Dirt Tracks. Hopefully they can make this event bigger and bigger and bigger." The Kubota High Limit Series is scheduled to return on Wednesday, Oct. 15 for the Roto-Rooter Midweek Series finale. Night Two winner Rico Abreu finished third with Thorson rallying back to fourth and Sweet settling for fifth. Daison Pursley set the fast qualifying time with a lap of 13.077 seconds, denying Reutzel a third straight fast time. Reutzel was No. 2 this time at 13.117.

- Stambaugh Prevails in Thrilling GLSS Champion's Duel at Tri-City Motor Speedway
Auburn, MI - Many drivers in the MacAllister CAT Great Lakes Super Sprints Presented by PERFIT & ARP pit area had been looking for an opportunity to race a smooth, technical track this season. So far, many weekend visits have been hammer down and "pony up". But Tri-City Motor Speedway was just what the Doctor ordered. Max Stambaugh and Kelsey Ivy led the field to the green flag Friday night in front of a packed house in Auburn, MI. Stambaugh took hold of the race lead early while Mike Keegan and Dustin Daggett argued over who would hold down the second spot. After the negotiations for second fell to the liking of Daggett, he set sights on catching Stambaugh in lapped traffic. A defisit that was over 1.2 seconds at one point in the race, was quickly cut down to just four-tenths-of-a-second by the halfway mark. Dicing through traffic, Daggett used every ounce of race track he could find to try and get to Stambaugh's tailtank. As he was setting up a lapped car to get to Stambaugh, the caution flew with just seven laps to go. The pause in the action gave fans a chance to realize who else was now in the picture for a win - four-time feature winner, two-time GLSS Champion, and leader on the all-time wins list at Tri City, Jared Horstman. On the restart, Horstman went straight to the top of the race track while Daggett again went on the hunt for a quick line around Stambaugh, who remained committed to the bottom. Horstman went by Daggett on the top of the race track and but down six money laps trying to outperform his closest championship rival. At the finish, Stambaugh collected his fifth win of the 2025 season while Horstman kept the championship hunt tight by finishing second. Daggett held on for third, Chase Dunham climbed to fourth, and Gregg Dalman came home fifth. Stambaugh won the Ti22 Performance Fast Qualifier Award. Ivy won Engler Machine and Tool Heat Race number 1. Keegan won Beacon & Bridge Markets Heat Race number 2. Daggett won MacAllister CAT Heat Race Number 3. The next event for the MacAllister CAT Great Lakes Super Sprints Presented by PERFIT & ARP is Saturday, June 28th at Crystal Motor Speedway. Gates open at 4:00 PM with racing slated to begin at 5:00 PM. Fans who can't make the trip can catch the action LIVE at GreatLakesSprints.Tv.

- Kris Carroll Secures POWRi Stock Non-Wing Micro KKM Challenge Preliminary Night Victory
Sweet Springs, MO.

Blayne Buntin and Brecken Reese would win the B-features, as Charlie Leffler would earn the C-feature victory. Soaring onto the smooth Sweet Springs Motorsports Complex surface for Preliminary Night feature racing for the Eibach Racing Keith Kunz Motorsports Challenge presented by Start2Finish TV would see the high point qualifier Kris Carroll battle outside front-row contender Trevor Cline as the green flew, with Kris Carroll holding the front of the field in the early feature laps. Protecting the lead steadily, Kris Carroll would appear to be on a rail using a speedy low-to-mid-line as Kole Kirkman and Sam Johnson battled nearly every lap for the runner-up position with Colby Sokol and Trevor Cline maintaining a top-five run around the midpoint of the feature event. Never wavering out front in a flawless feature event, Kris Carroll would lead all thirty laps to secure his first career POWRi Stock Non-Wing Micro victory as Kole Kirkman would finish in the closely contested second spot after starting fourth, with twelfth starter Colby Sokol finalizing the podium placements. "I was glad to see the speed on the bottom tonight, this is the fifth night out in this car combo and three wins now," said feature winner Kris Carroll in the Sweet Springs victory lane. Adding, "It was a lot of fun tonight, and I would love to see if we can get it done again tomorrow."

- Eddie Tafoya Jr. Matches Season-Best with 5th-Place Finish at Perris Auto Speedway
Chino, CA - June 26, 2025 — Eddie Tafoya Jr. matched his best finish of the 2025 Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series season last Saturday night by placing fifth at Perris Auto Speedway. The strong showing marked his third consecutive top 10 finish in the prestigious 21-year-old open-wheel series. Piloting the immaculate Specialty Fasteners #51T, Tafoya set the tone early by qualifying sixth fastest against a stacked field. He backed up that performance with a fourth-place result in the third eight-lap heat race on the breezy evening. Thanks to his stellar qualifying run, the Chino Hills, California native earned the pole position for the 30-lap main event. The 2018 PAS Young Guns Champion and 2019 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year wasted no time asserting himself, charging into the lead as starter Steve Russell waved the green flag. Tafoya, who turns 28 on July 9th, set a blistering pace and led the opening seven laps before slipping to second. As the race settled into the gritty, elbows-up action that Perris is known for, he remained in the top five and became embroiled in a fierce battle for position. His determination paid off, as he held strong to secure fifth at the checkered flag, matching his February 22nd result at Mohave Valley Raceway. While Tafoya is not chasing points in 2025, his consistency continues to impress. Saturday's finish vaulted him to 12th in the championship standings—remarkable considering he has entered only seven of the first ten events on the calendar. Fans can follow Tafoya on Instagram eddietafoya51. Tafoya and the #51T team would like to thank Specialty Fasteners, BR Motorsports, King Racing Products, Gasper Transportation, CMI Precision Machining, Owen's Insurance Services, Keen Concrete, DRC Chassis, and Rider Racing Engines for supporting their 2025 racing endeavors.

- Henry capitalizes of Andrews' misfortune for Attica win; Moore gets 2nd late model victory; Stroup earns 305 win
ATTICA, Ohio - The old adage sometimes it's better to be lucky than good summed up what happened to Cap Henry at Attica Raceway Park Friday, June 27 on Ohio Laborers/Columbus Equipment Company/Impact Credit Union/Buckeye Pumps Night. Henry, the defending Attica 410 Callie's Performance Products champion, inherited the lead with just three laps to go when race-long leader Chris Andrews slid off the cushion in turns one and two and spun. Henry, from Republic, Ohio, drove to his fourth win of the year at Attica, his sixth overall victory of 2025 and the 24th of his career at the track. Sixth starter Kalib Henry, seventh starter Kasey Jedrzejek, 10th starter Tim Shaffer and Zane DeVault rounded out the top five. "I was watching Chris run that thing harder and harder and I tried picking up the pace and couldn't match it. I started seeing him make mistakes and I thought maybe….we got lucky. It was Chris' race to win. I felt we could match his speed but passing him was a whole other problem. I'm really proud of my guys. We tore up a bunch of stuff during speedweek. Zack got this car fixed from Waynesfield and put everything back together with Jeff and Gary back at the shop and Chris and Chad at the track and all the wives and girlfriends that help everything work," said Henry beside his Premier Planning Service, Jeff Ward Demolition, Ohio Logistics, Primal Tee Shop, Innovative Excavating, Elliott's Custom Trailers and Carts, FK Rod Ends, King Racing, Griff's Engines; Berryman Racing Shocks, Callie's Performance Products, Dyers, Power Cool Manufacturing, SCS Gearbox, Tony Elliott Foundation backed #33W. The Dirt Nerds Podcast Powered by Propane UMP Late Model feature saw Mike Bores lead the first lap before former track champion Devin Shiels took over. Kyle Moore, who started sixth, drove into the lead on lap 12, sliced through heavy lapped traffic and scored his second straight win at Attica. It was the defending track champion's eighth career win at Attica and his second consecutive victory aboard his Kepling Flooring, Tye Tworg Longhorn, Joyride Transportation, Smitley Towing, Short Stop, Malcuit Race Engines, Wilson Realty, Robin Jakubick, RL Bond Septic, Hepthorn Golf Cart Sales, House of Spud, K&B Septic Service, Coffman Composites, Team Midwest Paint, Platinum Design backed #1*. Shiels, 10th starter Ryan Markham, Bores and Greg Haskell rounded out the top five. In a race that saw three cautions at the beginning before a lap could be recorded, Dustin Stroup lead all 25 laps of the Fremont Fence 305 Sprint A-main for his second victory of the year at Attica. It was his 10th career victory at the track and came over John Ivy, Steve Rando, Seth Schneider and 18th starter Jamie Miller. "That race took forever. I think on those last couple of laps I was running out of fuel. Coming off of two when I'd get off the gas and get back in it she kind of spit and sputtered. I can't thank everyone enough…my mom and dad, my girlfriend Katie, my kids and all my sponsors and everyone who still believes in this family owned 10x team," said Stroup beside his Pizza House of Clyde, Mama Dukes TRP, GCE LLS., Myer's Racing Engines, Midwest Dyno Services, Sulphur Town Pub, The Bowman Family, Warwick Entertainment, Bobby's Truck, Auto and Bus Repair, Wear A Print LLC, TME Services, Advance Auto Parts, Eye Candy Custom Cycles backed sprint car.

- Abreu seizes Night 2 Kubota High Limit Diamond Classic win at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO. (June 27, 2025) - Rico Abreu took command on lap 11 and led the rest of the way to earn Friday night's Kubota High Limit Racing Diamond Classic feature win at Lucas Oil Speedway. Abreu, of St. Helena, Calif., picked up his series-leading sixth feature win of the season. He was the third and final leader of the event and beat Tyler Courtney of Indianapolis by just over one second at the checkers. "It's really good. Determination beats talent," Abreu said in victory lane, noting some recent struggles. "This sport becomes really humbling at times. You can get up top really easily and you can get beat down to the ground. "We get to race so many times a year that there are so many highs and lows. Things change. These four tires are the only things that touch the race track. You work with spring rates and things can change throughout the season and you have to stay up to pace with everything and not get too hard on yourself." Abreu started fourth and sat behind the early pace-setters as Ashton Torgerson beat Courtney to the lead as the race started. Those front-row starters were running 1-2 when the first caution flew after two lap, with Abreu in third. As action resumed, Courtney caught and passed Torgerson for the lead on lap eight, using an inside pass coming out of turn four. Abreu soon moved around Torgerson and set his sights on the lead and took on lap 11, sliding past Courtney on the inside of turn two. Abreu quickly opened a 1.3-second lead by lap 16 with Courtney a second clear of Torgerson. Abreu gradually expanded his lead, opening it to 1.6 seconds by lap 20, weaving his way through lapped traffic with no issues. It appeared Abreu was on his way to a comfortable win when a lap 26 caution, as Landon Crawley's motor went up in smoke, erased his 1.4-second lead. That left a four-lap sprint to the finish as Abreu led Courtney, Brent Marks, Tanner Thorson and Torgerson comprised the top five. Abreu was able to win that race to the finish, beating Courtney by 1.038 seconds at the finish. "I was pretty confident in my car there," Abreu said of the final restart. "I was running the bottom at the end of the race and knew the entries were getting quite free. You just have to hit your marks. This is a real momentum-based track and you have to keep this engine up on the pipe and that's what I wanted to do." Thorson, of Broken Arrow, Okla., backed up his runner-up finish on Thursday with a third. Marks finished fourth and Thursday winner Aaron Reutzel wound up fifth. "We're just missing a little bit, but we're close," Courtney said. "Rico has arguably been one of the best in the country all year, so a great rebound for us. We're good, we just can't quite get that top step yet but we've got 25 grand tomorrow and have put ourselves in great position for that." The top three finishers locked themselves into the heat races and will get to bypass qualifying ahead of the $25,000-to-win finale. Thorson, with back-to-back podium finishes, heads into the final night as confident as anyone in the pits. His last six High Limit finishes have been fourth, third, second, sixth, second and third. "I think we have probably the most-consistent race car in the country probably," Thorson said. "It's good. We've gained a lot over this year, especially the past couple of months and rewarding for me and everyone involved. We're gonna keep on trucking." Reutzel captured the Diamond Classic victory on Thursday night and just as he did on night one, set the fast qualifying lap with a circuit of 12.869. That was just off the track record of 12.829 set by Abreu on June 29, 2024. Grandstands open at 4 p.m. on Saturday with hot laps at 6:15 and qualifying to follow. Opening ceremonies are slated for 7:25 p.m. LUCAS OIL SPEEDWAY UNOFFICIAL RESULTS (June 27, 2025) 2nd annual Kubota High Limit Racing Diamond Classic A Feature - 1. 24-Rico Abreu[4]; 2. 7BC-Tyler Courtney[2]; 3. 88-Tanner Thorson[6]; 4. 19-Brent Marks[3]; 5. 87-Aaron Reutzel[8]; 6. 1A-Ashton Torgerson[1]; 7. 49-Brad Sweet[7]; 8. 13-Daison Pursley[5]; 9. 9-Kasey Kahne[11]; 10. 9R-Chase Randall[9]; 11. 19H-Kevin Thomas Jr[20]; 12. 42-Sye Lynch[15]; 13. 3-Ayrton Gennetten[14]; 14. 5-Brenham Crouch[13]; 15. 40-Howard Moore[19]; 16. 74-Xavier Doney[12]; 17. 26-Justin Peck[16]; 18. 21X-JJ Hickle[10]; 19. 20G-Noah Gass[21]; 20. 75-Tyler Blank[24]; 21. 77-Jack Wagner[23]; 22. 45X-Landon Crawley[17]; 23. 98P-Miles Paulus[22]; 24. 14-Spencer Bayston[18] B Main - 1. 20G-Noah Gass[1]; 2. 98P-Miles Paulus[3]; 3. 77-Jack Wagner[2]; 4. 75-Tyler Blank[4]; 5. 21-Brian Brown[5]; 6. 79-Gage Montgomery[8]; 7. 73-Samuel Wagner[7]; 8. 93-Taylor Walton[9]; 9. 5B-Kory Bales[6]; 10. 24D-Danny Sams III[10]; 11. 15-Jack Potter[11]; 12. 22M-Rees Moran[12]; 13. 12X-Kameron Key[13] Dash - 1. 1A-Ashton Torgerson[1]; 2. 7BC-Tyler Courtney[4]; 3. 19-Brent Marks[2]; 4. 24-Rico Abreu[6]; 5. 13-Daison Pursley[3]; 6. 88-Tanner Thorson[7]; 7. 49-Brad Sweet[8]; 8. 87-Aaron Reutzel[5] Heat 1 - 1. 1A-Ashton Torgerson[1]; 2. 9R-Chase Randall[2]; 3. 5-Brenham Crouch[3]; 4. 87-Aaron Reutzel[4]; 5. 45X-Landon Crawley[5]; 6. 98P-Miles Paulus[7]; 7. 21-Brian Brown[6]; 8. 93-Taylor Walton[8]; 9.

- Good Night with a Rough Ending for Brody Roa
Cypress, CA - June 26, 2025 — It's not often that a race car driver crashes out of a race but still considers the night a success. That was the case for Brody Roa last Saturday night when the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars visited Perris Auto Speedway. Despite an unfortunate finish, the positives of the evening far outweighed the negatives, and the 2023 series champion is already looking forward to his next appearance at the historic Southern California oval on July 19. The race marked Roa's fourth appearance at Perris in 2025. With the same chassis he used to claim the 2023 series title and a Dash 12 engine purchased last year by his uncle, the team had been searching for the right combination through the first three races at The PAS this season. While his overall performances weren't terrible—finishing fifth, sixth, and eighth—the results weren't up to his usual standards. So, what do you do when you're searching for past successes? You return to the setup that got you there in the past. Roa and his team, led by his father Brett and crewman Joe Gibb, made some adjustments, and the improvement was evident from the start. In qualifying, Roa placed fourth with a lap time of 16.727, showing that he was on the right track. "The car was definitely better on Saturday," Roa said. "To be honest, we just went back to basics. I think the first couple of races I was so in my head, maybe about not having the horsepower we used to have. On Saturday, I said, 'This is not working. Let's just go back to basics.' And it worked. It was comfortable, carried speed, and I felt good in the car. That is what we have been striving for." "To start the year, I was trying to free the car up enough to let the engine get up and run," the second-generation driver continued. "We did not have a good balance on the car setup. We went back to stock and put a good balance on the car to what I was feeling from a few years ago. Everything started clicking again." Starting fifth in the opening eight-lap heat race, Roa, behind the wheel of his bright green #91R, made quick progress, moving up to finish fourth. This performance secured him a starting position in the first three rows of the main event, giving him an opportunity to challenge for the win. With high hopes after a strong qualifying and heat race, Roa lined up on the outside of row two for the 30-lap main. From the drop of the green flag, he wasted no time, moving into second place. By lap three, he was in the lead, charging off turn two with confidence. However, things turned sour in a hurry. "I can make excuses all day about how I got in there, but the end of the story is I got her too sideways, locked the engine up, and it didn't turn back over again," Roa commented about his early exit. "I collected Matt Mitchell in that mistake. That is not what we were looking to do. When we fired off, I ran a lap on the bottom behind Eddie (early race leader Eddie Tafoya Jr.). I hate running the bottom. I went to the top and started cleaning it off. Matt got by me for a couple of laps. I got the top comfortable and rolling and got back by him. I got outside of Eddie for the lead in one and two, and he went to the top in three and four. I went to cut back across three in four, hit some moisture in four, and got in the rough stuff, and it jumped sideways and stopped." Despite the early ending, Roa and his team are focused on refining their setup even more and building on the momentum from the positive strides made on Saturday. While the crash was disappointing, the performance up until that point showed that Roa and the team are on the verge of breaking through. "That is the speed we are used to, to be honest," he said. "Not that we were bad the first few races, but you cannot start 12th, 13th, or 14th. We put the car back to what I am used to. To put me starting sixth, seventh, eighth or ninth, you can win from there. But when you start 12th, by the time you get past some of the midpack guys, the leader is gone. Saturday was a definite step forward." Stay tuned as Brody Roa looks to continue his quest to reclaim the top spot at Perris Auto Speedway on July 19. Roa would like to thank his 2025 sponsors, "Biker" Bruce Fischer, Burris Racing, ALR Virtual Services, Caltrol, Molecule, and Wilwood Disc Brakes.

- Career Of Mitch Smith Honored Friday With 37th Smith Memorial - Williams Grove again honors legendary wheelman as part of Speedweek
Mechanicsburg - When Williams Grove Speedway races this week on July 4, it will do so for the 37th year in a row in honor of a famed sprint car great, the late Mitch Smith of Linglestown. The oval will host the J & S Classics 37th annual Mitch Smith Memorial as part of Pennsylvania Speedweek on July 4 at 7:30 pm. And the race to honor Smith will pay a lucrative $20,000 to win out of a total purse worth almost $50,000. Richard D. "Mitch" Smith was the original "Mr. Excitement" of Pennsylvania sprint car lore. At Williams Grove Speedway alone he ended his four-decade long career in 1978 with 27 sprint car wins and nine super modified victories. But overall on his career, his checkered flags added up to 179. The name Mitch Smith became cemented nationally when in 1971 the "Little Guy" from Linglestown trounced the boasting stars of the United States Auto Club, not once, but three times when they towed into the region. In 1971, USAC was to sprint car racing what the World of Outlaws is today. USAC competition was the way to Indy. The USAC circuit groomed its drivers to sit on the Indy 500 starting grid. And start they did. But on June 19 and September 25 at Williams Grove Speedway in 1971 and again on July 17 at Selinsgrove Speedway, Mitch Smith used a rarely doled out temporary racing permit issued by USAC to just a few local drivers to beat the traveling band badly. The USAC stars were furious. Protests were lodged and tear-downs were performed. All was legal. Smith had beaten the unquestionable best in the sprint car business not once, not twice but three times. The word went out. "The Linglestown Leadfoot" Mitch Smith, had trounced USAC in Central Pennsylvania. Smith retired from the sport in 1978 and in 1988 at the age of 58 was felled by a massive heart attack. In 1995 Mitch Smith was inducted posthumously into the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame in Knoxville, Iowa. It is the legacy left behind and the impact that Smith had on the sport in the region and at Williams Grove Speedway that the oval honors again this year with the running of the 37th annual Mitch Smith Memorial on Friday night. Anthony Macri is the defending winner of the prestigious Mitch Smith Memorial. Lance Dewease is the winningest driver in Smith Memorial history, having scored wins in 1992, 1995, 1997, 2001, 2018 and in 2021. Fred Rahmer has four Smith Memorials to his credit along with the late Greg Hodnett. Stevie Smith won the inaugural event in 1989.
Mechanicsburg - Persistent mist and drizzle forced cancellation of the scheduled opener of Pennsylvania Speedweek for 410 sprint cars at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night. The decision was made just after 6:30 pm. Some 36 Lawrence Chevrolet 410 sprints were signed into the pits to compete in the series opener. The track will host the prestigious Mitch Smith Memorial as part of Pennsylvania Speedweek next Friday night, July 4 at 7:30 pm. The coveted event pays the winner $20,000 for his efforts.
