- 24TH Running Of Williams Grove Summer Nationals Continues Rivalry And History Friday And Saturday
Mechanicsburg - The C & D Rigging Summer Nationals at Williams Grove Speedway, coming up this Friday and Saturday, July 25 and 26, will celebrate its 24th running this week. The Grove Summer Sizzler has long found the World of Outlaws matching up with the Pennsylvania Posse to contest for top honors in the two-day rivalry. The first edition of the current Summer Nationals was a three-day event back in 2002 with a pair of preliminary mains taken by Danny Lasoski and Joey Saldana while local driver Greg Hodentt upended the World of Outlaws for the big score on Saturday driving for the Apple Motorsports stables. At the time, the three-day World of Outlaws show at Williams Grove was billed as the first of its kind since only one other previous three-day stand at the track in history, also billed as a Summer Nationals, took place in August 1984 when Sammy Swindell, Brad Doty and Steve Kinser took wins. World of Outlaws kingpin Donny Schatz took two of three at the track in 2003 with Don Kreitz Jr. taking a preliminary night. The 2004 version saw Lance Dewease and Lasoski split a pair of mains. Another three-day format in 2005 saw Jason Johnson score a popular victory for local owners Jim and Sandy Kline while Paul McMahan scored another prelim with track powerhouse Fred Rahmer taking a raucous victory in the Saturday finale. In 2006 outlaws invaders Terry McCarl, Craig Dollansky and Daryn Pittman swept the three-day affair. Donny Schatz bookended the three-day event with wins in 2007 while local Brian Leppo of Spring Grove was sandwiched in the middle with a win aboard the Swope No. 71 machine. Becoming a two-day event in 2008, outlaws Donny Schatz and Daryn Pittman swept the shows but the following year belonged to local drivers Greg Hodnett in the Kline No. 22 and Cody Darrah with Darrah taking the win in a make-up feature held during National Open weekend in October. The 2010 version was all Pennsylvania Posse as Lance Dewease took night one aboard the Don Owens No. 30C and Hodnett returning for another win for the Kline team. Hodnett struck again in 2011, this time in the Trone Special No. 39, along with outlaw driver Jason Meyers. Just one show was completed in 2012 with Darrah back for another win, this time aboard an outlaws mount owned by Kasey Kahne. Again, one show was completed in 2013 with Schatz again a victor but the pendulum swung the other way again in 2014 when locals Hodnett and Dewease swept the two-day weekend show with Hodnett now driving for Michael Heffner and Dewease aboard the Conduit Connections No. 14. The locals made it back-to-back sweeps of the event in 2015 when Danny Dietrich and Stevie Smith trounced the outlaws. Pittman was back for a win in 2016 with Dewease, now aboard the Kreitz No. 69K, taking the Saturday finale. Local driver Brock Zearfoss piloted the Long No. 58 to the win on night one in 2017 while Greg Hodnett ended up scoring the second feature aboard the Heffner mount albeit as a make up main in late September. Only the first night was completed in 2018 with Dewease returning for a victory, still in the 69K. The 2019 Summer Nationals saw Tim Shaffer pilot the Rudzik No. 49 to the opening night win while Schatz got back to Summer Nationals victory for the first time since 2013. Shane Stewart fended off Anthony Macri to win opening night in 2020 while David Gravel dominated on Saturday to lead flag to flag. In 2021 it was Sheldon Haudenschild and Brent Marks splitting Summer Nationals laurels with Marks scoring the big 20K Saturday finale. Haudenschild's Friday win was the first of his career at Williams Grove. Dewease was back again for a Friday victory in the 69K in 2022 while Saturdays big money win went to outlaws champion Brad Sweet for his elusive first-ever Williams Grove victory. In 2023 outlaws driver Logan Schuchart of nearby Hanover scored one that kept the local fans happy on Friday before independent California driver Rico Abreu walked off with the $20,000 Saturday loot to record his first-ever oval checkers. Last season TJ Stutts upended the outlaws in Friday night action also billed as the make-up Morgan Cup held over from May, taking $17,000 for the night one win. World of Outlaws champion David Gravel scored the 20K on Saturday in what was his 100th career outlaws series victory. Adult general admission for Friday night is $35 with students ages 13-20 admitted for just $15. Saturday adult general admission is $40 with students ages 13 - 20 priced at $20.

- Hudson O'Neal Wins Rain-Shortened Silver Dollar Nationals at Huset's
BRANDON, SD (July 19, 2025) - Hudson O'Neal won his first career Silver Dollar Nationals presented by MyRacePass on Saturday night at Huset's Speedway, earning $75,000 in the richest first-place prize in the 15-year history of the event. His father, Don, won the inaugural race in 2011 at the now-closed I-80 Speedway in Greenwood, Nebraska. O'Neal led all 67 completed laps of the originally scheduled 80 laps and was declared the winner after officials called the race due to rain that fell over the track and became too intense to continue. The race was then declared official shortly thereafter. Branndon Shappard, who took the second spot on lap 55 from Jonathan Davenport, finished in second, followed by Bobby Pierce, Davenport, and Ricky Thornton, Jr. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the fourth time this season and for the 33rd time in his career, the 2023 Series Champion picked up the second most significant win of his career, second only to a $100,000 payday at Kokomo Speedway in 2023, as he became the 11th different winner of the Silver Dollar Nationals. "This is unbelievable. You know, to be a race car driver is something you always dream of - to be in a position to win big races, to win crown jewel races. The Silver Dollar Nationals - I have never won it before; my dad won the inaugural one back at I-80. It's so cool to be standing here at Huset's Speedway and call myself a Silver Dollar Nationals winner. I am about speechless," said the Martinsville, Indiana native. "It's not the way we necessarily wanted to win, but we'll take the rain all day whenever we're out front leading like that. Whenever I caught lapped traffic, especially down here at turns three and four and just above the bottom in one and two, I just couldn't bring myself to go out there and pass the lapped cars. I knew those guys in front of me couldn't move either, and I'm sure they were trying their best everywhere. I was just trying not to give the race away. I'm not going to move out of there; if somebody's going to pass me, I'll make them pass me somewhere else. I was able to get by a couple of lapped cars, and then we caught a lot of cautions at the right time, which was a big help." Sheppard, who was attempting to equal Davenport's event record with three Silver Dollar Nationals wins, finished as the runner-up for the second straight night, earning $25,000 for his efforts. "I don't know if we would have gone back to green, it would have changed anything. Hudson was really good, and we all know how important it is to get out front at this place; especially because you can build momentum so well here, it makes it really hard to pass the leader for sure. So, congrats to him (O'Neal), congrats to Bobby, and thanks to all of the fans for sticking it out tonight. It was a solid weekend for us; we definitely wanted to win, but overall it was a good weekend. We're not going to hang our heads — we've got a fast race car, and we're looking forward to the rest of the year." Pierce who won the Silver Dollar Nationals in 2019 rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third. "It is what it is. Hudson ran a really good race, congrats to him. Congrats to Brandon, and I don't know if 13 laps would have changed anything. It was follow the leader forever, and then the track finally got good, and then came the rain." The winner's SSI Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and sponsored by Big River Steel, Wheeler Metals, Merrill Bonding Company, Sub-Surface of Indiana, Professional Concrete, Cutting, and Drilling, West Side Tractor Sales, Dyno One Inc., O'Neal's Salvage and Recycling, Indiana USSSA Fast Pitch Softball, Bob and Tammy Burton, Midwest Sheet Metal, Houchens Insurance Group, BobCat of Batesville, and Sunoco Race Fuels. Completing the top ten were Garrett Alberson, Dan Ebert, Brandon Overton, Dennis Erb Jr., and Devin Moran.

- JUSTIN SANDERS WINS THIRD HK; CONTINUES NARC DOMINANCE AT OCEAN
(7/19/25 - Andrew Kunas) Watsonville, CA ... Justin Sanders continued his winning ways Saturday night, getting his sixth NARC King of the West sprint car victory of the season, but it was probably one of the most special of his career as it came at the 15th Annual Howard Kaeding Classic at Ocean Speedway. Sanders had to contend with traffic, and a determined Shane Golobic, to pick up his third career win in the event, but this year's event carried much more emotional weight as it was the first Howard Kaeding Classic without the man the race honors, as Howard had passed away earlier this year. "Glad to get the first two HK's while HK was here, so that's pretty special and that's something I'll remember for a long time down the road," Sanders said about his first HK win without the late patriarch of the Kaeding Family in attendance. Sanders started the pole for the 30-lap feature and led all but one lap, but it was not easy for last year's NARC champion. Sanders was challenged early by Washington state visitor Jesse Schlotfeldt, who briefly passed him only for Sanders get back by on the same lap and continue in the top spot when Schlotfeldt got into the loose clay at the top of Turn 4. Schlotfeldt then had to surrender second place and the leave the track during the next caution due his muffler coming off the car. Sanders continued to lead, but soon traffic became a factor and Shane Golobic, the 2023 Kaeding Classic winner, went after Sanders for the lead. With 20 laps down, Golobic threw a slider in Turns 3 and 4 and made it stick, taking the lead and leading Lap 21, but Sanders returned the favor on other end of the track to regain the lead on the 22nd lap. As the track began to take rubber, Sanders again had to contend with slower car and Golobic closed back in. Sanders struggled with slower cars, but Golobic couldn't take advantage as Sanders made late key passes around a couple of slower cars to maintain the lead at the end, taking the checkered flag aboard the Yuba Sutter Aviation-sponsored Mittry Motorsports No. 2x Fisher-powered KPC. The win was a Howard Kaeding Classic record $10,000 to win with many sponsors pitching in and other money raising efforts adding to it, and that followed Sanders' $5,000 win in Friday's NARC race at Ocean Speedway. His 28th career NARC King of the West win tied him with Steve Kent on the all-time win list. "Once I saw (Golobic) down there, I knew it was going to be tough," Sanders said. "Shane got a run on me and I happened to get squared up and I got a run and slid him back for $10,000. I just it ran it as hard as I could. I don't know if we had the best car tonight, but we had a good car. I wish Max Mittry and (car owner) Demo Mittry could be here (to see the win)." Sanders praised his team for their work, and also praised everyone who showed their support for the Howard Kaeding Classic and raising more money for the teams to race for during the special weekend. A night after getting upside down, Golobic would've liked to have won but otherwise was happy to settle for a runner-up finish aboard the NOS Energy-sponsored Matt Wood Racing No. 17w Kistler-powered KPC. Also a night after going over, Ryan Bernal bounced back himself with a podium finish aboard the NOS Energy-sponsored Josh Ford Motorsports No. 73 1Way-powered Triple X after battling with Landon Brooks, who finished fourth aboard the Lipper Construction-sponsored Bates-Hamilton Racing No. 21L Kistler-powered Maxim. Sean Becker, who flipped upside down in his heat race earlier but still transferred out of it, finished fifth in the main event aboard the D&J Construction Rental-sponsored Bjork Construction No. 7b Shaver-powered Maxim. Kaleb Montgomery, Tyler Thompson, Tanner Carrick, Nick Parker and Dominic Scelzi rounded out the Top 10. Joey Ancona earned the Williams Roofing Hard Charger nod, coming from 22nd to finish 13th. Sanders won the Beacon Wealth Strategies Trophy Dash to secure the pole position for the main event, with Parker starting to his outside. Heat races earlier in the evening were won by Carrick, Tim Kaeding, Golobic and Schlotfeldt. D.J. Netto won the Winters Performance Last Chance Qualifier, taking Dylan Bloomfield, Ancona and Jake Andreotti with him to the feature. Nick Parker was the fastest in Automotive Racing Products Qualifying, pacing the 29-car field in split qualifying with a time of 10.879 seconds to best the second flight. Tanner Carrick topped the first flight of qualifying with a lap of 10.946 seconds. NARC's "Cooler Weather Tour," a stretch of races occurring at tracks along the California coastline expecting to feature comfortable temperatures, continues with the series' annual visit to Santa Maria Speedway on July 26th. It concludes with the 65th Johnny Key Classic at Ocean Speedway on August 2nd. The Northern Auto Racing Club is the premier 410 winged sprint car series in the western United States.

- Chance Grasty flashes to victory at SCCT Speedweek stop in Placerville
Placerville, CA…Chance Grasty withstood the challenges of Austin Wood and Andy Forsberg over the closing stages to claim his first career Placerville Speedway win, during an entertaining main event on night two of SCCT Speedweek. Grasty piloted the Friends & Family Racing/ Bushey Financial Services X1 to a $5,000 triumph at the Gold Pan Rampage. It marked his second ever Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour triumph, after claiming his initial victory at Petaluma Speedway last month. "That was so much fun tonight in the main event racing with Austin Wood and Andy Forsberg," Grasty said after the race. "I kind of messed up in the Dash but definitely made up for it in the feature. I really have to thank the entire F&F Racing team, Bushey Financial Services and all the partners on this car." Cotati's Jake Haulot captured the High Sierra Industries Dash to earn the pole for the 35-lap finale. When the green flag waved, he immediately shot out front and looked strong in the early laps. Austin Wood moved into the runner up spot on lap four, while eighth starting Grasty carved his way into third on lap number seven. Around lap 10 the duo began to go at it and with 11 circuits complete, Grasty slipped to his inside to assume second. With lapped traffic in play Grasty closed in on Haulot and quickly made it a race for the top spot. On lap 14 Haulot and Grasty proceeded to split a lapped car in thrilling fashion, which saw Grasty lead the 15th circuit. Wood then charged to the inside of Haulot to take over second on lap 20, prior to a caution shortly after. On the restart Auburn's Andy Forsberg moved his way into third and it set up an exhilarating 15-lap shootout to the end. Grasty, Wood and Forsberg fought tooth and nail up front with fans on the edge of their seats. A multi-groove surface allowed for some exceptional racing and in the end, Grasty was able to withstand the challenges to accept the Darin Stahl checkered flag. Wood finished the race in a close second with Forsberg rounding out the podium. Haulot and El Cajon's Braden Chiaramonte completed the top five in the Shop Kyle Larson main event. Finishing sixth through 10th were Jake Morgan, Shane Hopkins, Kelly Miller, Max Mittry and Kinzer Cox. Hopkins must be commended on his fantastic drive after starting dead last following a trip to the work area during the warmup laps due to a flat tire. Steel Powell officially earned the Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Award going from 23rd to 15th in the feature. A total of 28 cars competed on night two of SCCT Western Sprint Tour Speedweek. Austin Wood earned the Sierra Foothills Wine Services Fast Time Award for the second straight night with a lap of 10.702. SCCT Western Sprint Tour Speedweek continues Monday night at The Douglas County Dirt Track in Roseburg, Oregon.

- Crigler cashes another 4 State Dirt Late Model victory at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO. (July 19, 2025) - Sawyer Crigler continued his dominance on the 4 State Dirt Late Model Series and its action at Lucas Oil Speedway this season, winning the 30-lap feature on Saturday night over Dalton Cloyd. Criger took the lead on lap three and held on after a late restart to earn his fifth series victory of the season and back up his 4 State win at Lucas Oil Speedway in March. He earned $1,250 for the win as he led the final 28 of 30 laps. "It took a couple of laps to kind of get my rhythm going, but after that it was smooth sailing," the third-starting Crigler said in victory lane. Cloyd led the opening two laps before Crigler grabbed the lead on lap three going down the backstretch. Crigler opened a 1.6-second lead when he caught lapped traffic on lap eight with Cloyd second and Cole Wells third. The second-generation Late Model driver from Alton continued to thread his way through slower traffic to lead by 2.2 seconds at the halfway mark on lap 15. Wells took the second spot from Cloyd on lap 19 and began pursuit of the leader. But as the race remained under green, Crigler extended his cushion to 3.2 seconds with laps dwindling. Just as it appeared that Crigler was on his way to a lopsided win, caution flew on lap 25 to give Wells, Cloyd and fourth-place Dustin Atkinson another chance. Wells moved to second on the restart, closing briefly within two car lengths on the leader. But Crigler found a burst and opened a 10-car length lead with two laps remaining as yellow flew for Atkinson's spin in turn two. That left a two-lap shootout with Cloyd and Wells right behind Crigler. Crigler stuck to the low groove with Cloyd moving around the white flag lap. Crigler held on to win by .427 seconds with Wells third, Brandon Baldridge fourth and Jace Parmley fifth. "I have to thank my dad (Scott). He helps me more than anything and without him this wouldn't be possible," Crigler said. "I have to thank Brandon Baldridge. He goes with me up and down the road." Cloyd, from Fair Grove, said he ran out of time. "It was a great race. Congrats to Sawyer," Cloyd said. "I'm sorry to Cole (Wells) for getting into him on the backstretch. A couple of more laps on the top and we might have had a chance." Also posting feature wins on Horton Supply Company Veterans and Military Appreciation Night were Ryan Middaugh (Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modifieds), Kris Jackson (Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods) and Mason Beck (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stocks Cars). Middaugh earns Modifieds win: Ryan Middaugh took command on lap eight and went on to outrun the field for the Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modified victory. Middaugh went around the outside of Cutshaw, who had led until that point, in turn two of lap eight. The Fulton driver had a two-second lead over Cutshaw when a lap-11 caution slowed the action. Middaugh, the 2023 track champion, took it from there to his first Lucas Oil Speedway feature win of the season and eighth overall. He beat season points leader Nic Bidinger by 1.04 seconds. "Thanks to all the veterans and military," Middaugh in victory lane. "It's been a rough year for us, but it's good to be back on the front stretch of Lucas Oil Speedway." Cutshaw rolled from the pole to the lead and needed only five laps to establish a two-second margin over Ben Stockton. He was running 1.8 in front of fourth-starting Middaugh when caution flew on lap six as two cars tangled in turn two. Soon after the restart, Middaugh took command. Cutshaw fell to fifth on the final lap with Stockton grabbing third and Dayton Pursley in fourth. B-Mods win to Jackson: Kris Jackson of Lebanon still knows his way around Lucas Oil Speedway. The seven-time track champion led all 20 laps to capture the feature win over season points leader Jon Sheets. Jackson beat Sheets to the lead as the front-row starters took the green and opened a three-quarter second lead by lap five with JC Newell running third. Jackson extended the margin to just over two seconds by lap 11 when caution flew as fourth-running Dawson David spun. It was more of the same up front after the restart, with Jackson leading Sheets as the lacks clicked away. But Sheets found a fast line on the high side and began to close, cutting Jackson's lead to .325 seconds with five laps left. Jackson said he smelled some burning oil right before the caution and was "hoping it was from the (lapped) cars in front of me. But after the caution, I didn't have any power steering." Sheets kept the pressure up coming to the white flag, but Jackson's final circuit was a less tense after Sheets drifted too high in turn two. That gave Jackson an easy drive to a 2.1-second win over Sheets. Newell finished third with Trevor Drake fourth and Michael Taylor III coming home in fifth. Beck rolls in USRA Stock Cars: Season points leader Mason Beck of Urbana led all the way to win the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature, holding off Justin Custer by two seconds at the finish. It was Beck's second feature win at the track this season and eighth top-five in nine attempts. "The rest of the year we ought to be pretty good and I hope we have some more like this," Beck said. "My dad thrashes on this thing. I got in a dirt-bike wreck this week and didn't' know if I could drive with one arm, but he had it set up where I could drive with on finger tonight." Beck navigated three early cautions to lead from the start, as Custer moved into second on lap seven and the race finally settled into a green-flag rhythm. The winner gradually stretched his lead as action remained caution-free the rest of the way. Austin held off William Garner for second with Jayden Bears fourth and Christopher Sawyer fifth.

- Andy Forsberg becomes first 3-time winner of the Tyler Wolf Memorial to open Speedweek
Chico, CA…Reigning SCCT Speedweek champion Andy Forsberg endured a wild 35-lap feature in front of a large and vocal crowd on Friday night, becoming the first three-time winner of the Tyler Wolf Memorial at Silver Dollar Speedway. The victory marked Forsberg's seventh career Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour triumph and came aboard his familiar Pacific Highway Rentals/ Oroville Tax No. 92 mount. It was also the Auburn veteran's first win at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico since 2021. "Racing on these types of tracks isn't exactly my cup of a tea, but I just focused on being smooth, hitting my marks and hoped the guys in front of me wore out their tires," Forsberg said afterwards. "I can't say enough for about my team for working their tails off and giving me a great car. Thank you to all the fans for packing this place tonight and we hope to see you back at the Gold Cup next month." Sacramento youngster Austin Wood was the story for much of the night after setting the Sierra Foothills Wine Services Fast Time, before claiming the Tiner-Hirst Ent. Heat Race and the High Sierra Industries Dash. Wood jumped out front at the waving of the green flag and distanced himself from the rest of the field. After about 15-laps however, track conditions began to change as rubber came down, and made tire wear a prevalent factor in the outcome. Drivers continued to race hard throughout the field however and kept fans on the edge of their seats. Modesto's Tony Gomes moved into the second spot and began to reel in the leader after several circuts. Following a caution with nine laps to go the ensuing restart brough drama as Gomes grabbed the lead by slicing the inside of Wood, who slowed that same lap as his right rear tire went down. Wood's bid at a clean sweep ended in heartbreak with him driving back to the pit area. With Gomes up front now it brought Auburn's Andy Forsberg into the second spot and Northwest drver Kinzer Cox in third. As more tire issues continued for several cars the final caution of the feature waved with six circuits remaining. During the last restart Forsberg stayed tucked to Gomes' tail tank and then shot to his inside, making it a side-by-side battle for the top spot. Coming to the line to click off lap 32 it was Forsberg now up front. Seconds after that Gomes slowed with a flat right rear tire, as did a few other drivers. With Forsberg up front he had Cox right there with him down to the wire. As the leaders rounded turn four the final time, another car lost the right rear tire just ahead of their path. Both the front runners did a great job to take evasive action, moving down and crossing the stripe with Forsberg claiming the win just ahead of Cox. Cox, hailing from Cottage Grove, Oregon was making just his fourth career Silver Dollar Speedway start and did an exceptional job to record a stellar runner up finish. He will be a certain favorite over the remainder of Speedweek. Sacramento's DJ Freitas also did an impressive job saving his tires and weaving through traffic to claim his first career Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour podium in third. Freitas won the B-main and carved his way from 20th to take home the Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Award. Yuba City's Steele Powell must also be commended for an excellent drive, as he moved forward late to tally his best ever finish with the Sprint Car Challenge Tour in fourth. Braden Chiaramonte rebounded beautifully after suffering a flat tire with six laps left. The El Cajon driver went to the work area and charged all the way back to round out the top five. Completing the top 10 at the Tyler Wolf Memorial were Jennifer Osborne, Aydan Saunders, Max Mittry, Levi Klatt and Adrianna Demartini. A total of 34 cars competed on night one of Speedweek.

- JUSTIN SANDERS SURVIVES, WINS WILD NARC HK CLASSIC OPENER
(7/18/25 - Andrew Kunas) Watsonville, CA ... Justin Sanders emerged victorious after one of the wildest NARC sprint car main events of the season Friday, taking the opening night feature of the Howard Kaeding Classic at Ocean Speedway. Sanders inherited the lead with eight laps completed when early leader Bud Kaeding was bit by the treacherous cushion in Turn 1 and was sent flying off the track. Sanders led the rest of the 30-lapper for his NARC-leading fifth race of the season, but had to fend off Bud's brother Tim Kaeding along the way and wait through several cautions and red flags before finally taking the checkered flag. It was the second NARC win at Ocean Speedway this season for Sanders, who also captured the May 16th event at the Watsonville clay oval. Sanders won last year's Howard Kaeding Classic, his second HK win overall, but while Saturday's finale remains, it was special for Sanders still to take the win on the first night of a now two-night event that previously had honored the patriarch of the Kaeding Family as a special event guest since 2011. This year's event, however, took on special meaning with Howard passing away during the off-season. Out front after Bud Kaeding's misfortune, Sanders early on was challenged by Tim Kaeding, but found his groove and managed his way around the challenging top side of the race track. Despite the many cautions and red flags, of which there were five, Sanders still had to deal with slower traffic on occasion. Sanders managed to hold off a determined Tim in the closing laps for the win aboard the Yuba Sutter Aviation-sponsored Mittry Motorsports No. 2x Fisher-powered KPC. The $5,000 victory went with Sanders' other NARC Ocean win, a pair of wins at Silver Dollar Speedway, and a Dirt Cup preliminary at Skagit Speedway. Friday's Howard Kaeding Classic opener was probably the one that required the most patience out of Sanders this season. Tim Kaeding, racing in memory of his grandfather, finished second aboard the Emadco Disposal-sponsored Williams Motorsports No. 0 Maxwill-powered Maxim. Kaeding, one of California's most accomplished sprint car racers following his grandfather Howard and father Brent, thanked teams and fans for their support of the event this weekend. Kaeding though will now be focused on bettering his position by one spot on Saturday in an event he has not won before and will want to add to his already impressive resume. Behind Sanders and Kaeding, there were constant battles for and shuffling of positions throughout the Top 10. Dylan Bloomfield turned in one of his best finishes of the season after starting eighth. He battled with former NARC champion Sean Becker to move into fourth place and late in the race he battled with and passed another former NARC champion in D.J. Netto to move into third, and finished there aboard the Silva's All Natural Beef-sponsored Vertullo Racing No. 83v Kistler-powered Maxim. After being bit by the Turn 1 cushion and spinning out, Bud Kaeding went to the work area before returning to the track and racing his way back up to finish 12th. Bud, also one of California's most accomplished sprint car racers following his father and grandfather, is a two-time Howard Kaeding Classic winner but will be looking for a special third HK win on Saturday. Netto, who entered the event with the NARC points lead, finished fourth aboard the Penny Newman Grain-sponsored Netto Ag No. 88n Rider-powered KPC. Kaleb Montgomery, another driver who raced hard throughout, came from 13th and made late passes to secure fifth place aboard the Luxon Real Estate-sponsored Montgomery Racing No. 3 Speedway-powered Maxim. Becker, after starting tenth, bounced back from a crash last Saturday at Petaluma Speedway and finished sixth, followed by Nick Parker and the 14th starting Tyler Thompson. Tanner Carrick earned the Williams Roofing Hard Charger nod, coming from 18th to finish ninth. Dominic Gorden came back from a trip to the work area to round out the Top 10. Bud Kaeding won the Beacon Wealth Strategies - Raymond James Trophy Dash to secure the pole position for the feature event, with Sanders starting outside him. The Winters Performance Last Chance Qualifier was won by Jesse Schlotfeldt, who took Dominic Scelzi, Billy Aton and Jason Chisum with him to the feature race. Heat races earlier in the evening were won by Bud Kaeding, Gauge Garcia, Shane Golobic and Tim Kaeding. Bloomfield paced the 30-car field in Automotive Racing Products Qualifying with a time of 10.763 seconds around the ¼-mile clay oval, topping the second flight in a split field. That narrowly bettered Landon Brooks, who paced the first flight with a 10.768-second lap.
