- Tribute to Al Hinds launches 60th anniversary season at Placerville Speedway
Placerville, CA…Placerville Speedway is prepared to open its 60th season of action on Saturday by honoring a man that had a key role in making it all possible, with the 22nd annual "Tribute to Al Hinds" tackling the red clay. Divisions set to christen the Berco Redwood/ Hoosier Tires championship season will include the Thompson's Family of Dealerships Winged Sprint Cars, the Red Hawk Resort + Casino Pure Stocks, Ltd. Late Models and the BCRA Lightning Sprints. Please note the grandstands will open at 4pm this season, one hour later than previous years. Live music and Coors Light/ Coors Banquet Happy Hour will continue to be held from 4-6pm. The Tribute to Al Hinds began in 2004 following the passing of early track promoter and mentor, Al Hinds, a longtime Placerville resident and true race fan that touched the lives of many. Hinds was the second promoter of Placerville Speedway. He took operation of the track with business partner Richard Hirst from its founder, Bruno Romani, in 1968, three years after it first opened when the facility was built around an existing community football field. The operator of a local machine shop by trade, Hinds loved the community where he lived. In his final years of life, he enjoyed sitting with some of his best friends every night in the grandstands at Placerville Speedway and loved watching young talent make a name for themselves in the sport. The inaugural Tribute to Al Hinds was captured by Roger Crockett, while last season saw Shane Golobic snag his initial triumph in the event. Track champions last season with the Thompson's Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Cars, Red Hawk Resort + Casino Pure Stocks and Ltd. Late Models included Auburn's Andy Forsberg, Oakley's Nick Baldwin and Martinez' Anthony Slaney respectively. Tickets and Details: Grandstand seating at the Tribute to Al Hinds will be general admission on Saturday March 15th, except for the reserved seats allocated to season ticket holders that are marked. Adult tickets cost $18, while seniors 62+, military and juniors 12-17 will be $16. Kids 6-11 cost $8 and those five and under are free.

- Progressive American Flat Track coming to Lucas Oil Speedway, prompting Weekly Racing Series schedule adjustment
WHEATLAND, MO. (March 10, 2025) - Lucas Oil Speedway will play host to a new form of racing for the time with a late schedule addition for the 2025 season. The Progressive American Flat Track will hold its Round 6 at Lucas Oil Speedway on Saturday, June 7. This completes the 2025 AFT schedule, filling the final "TBA" date with one of the nation's premier racing destinations on a schedule that includes Daytona International Speedway, among others. "We are excited to bring our fans a different type of racing and look forward to bringing AFT to the speedway for their first event with the speedway," Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton said. "Lucas Oil Speedway has earned a reputation for hosting marquee events, and this flat track event will only add to the high-energy racing our fans have come to love." The addition of the AFT for that date will cause an alteration for the Pitts Homes and Realty Weekly Racing Series schedule as Round 5 featuring the five weekly classes will shift to May 17, which was originally an off weekend on the Lucas Oil Speedway schedule. With much of the AFT season already announced - including the Lima Half-Mile doubleheader and a fan-favorite West Coast Swing - this June 7 showdown finalizes the 2025 Progressive AFT calendar. Fans can expect bar-to-bar action from the Mission AFT SuperTwins class, the Parts Unlimited AFT Singles presented by KICKER class, and Build Train Race on Lucas Oil Speedway's 3/8-mile oval, alongside plenty of off-track fun at the Diamond Bar, Track Treasures Gift Shop, and Lake Lucas. Event times and admission prices will be announced in coming weeks. The 2025 Progressive American Flat Track season will launch this week with the Royal Enfield Short Track at DAYTONA at Daytona International Speedway on Thursday, March 6 and Friday, March 7. Purchase your tickets at AmericanFlatTrack.com/Events. Open Test and Tune set for March 15th: An Open Test and Tune is scheduled for Saturday, March 15th at Lucas Oil Speedway from 6-9 p.m. Spectator admission to the test and tune is free for grandstands with pit passes $35.
