- Free admission for kids 12 and under in costume on October 31 at Stockton Dirt Track
Stockton, CA…With the Tribute to Gary Patterson fast approaching the Stockton Dirt Track is pleased to announce there will be free admission in the stands for kids 12 and under wearing a costume during the Friday opener on Halloween. A Trick or Treat is also planned after the races in the pit area and teams are encouraged to bring candy for the youngsters as they make their way around the trailers. The Friday October 31st event marks championship night for the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour. The traveling Winged 360 Sprint Car Series has competed up and down the West Coast this year, from as far south as Tulare and as far north as Skagit Speedway in Washington. Sacramento youngster Austin Wood brings the point lead into the Halloween finale, as he searches to become the youngest champion in SCCT history. The 15-year-old has been an exceptional qualifier this year and hopes to finish off the title in style with a win at the Stockton Dirt Track. Yuba City's Seth Standley, Montana driver Cole Schroeder, Redding's Max Mittry and Marysville's Dawson Hammes round out the top five in the standings. "We look forward to finishing off the Sprint Car Challenge Tour season on Halloween night at the Stockton Dirt Track," commented tour President Scott Russell. "Thank you to Tony Noceti and his team for allowing free admittance to kids 12 and under in costume. Hopefully everyone will come out and help us wrap up the SCCT season in style." The Halloween special will also be the season finale for both the Joe Hunt Magnetos Wingless Sprint Cars and the West Coast Pro Stocks. One night later the championship finals continue with the NARC 410 Sprint Cars, the BCRA/WMR Midget Super Series and Dwarf Cars on Saturday November 1st. Hanford's DJ Netto holds the NARC 410 point lead going into their next event this weekend. 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. Tickets for both nights can be purchased at the gate or online via www.stocktondirttrack.com The Stockton Dirt Track is a quarter mile clay oval located on the San Joaquin County Fairgrounds in Stockton, California. The physical address is 1658 S Airport Way, Stockton, CA 95206.
- Perris Auto Speedway Hosts Its Annual Halloween Event at Saturday's Night of Destruction
Perris, California — October 20, 2025 — One of Perris Auto Speedway's most anticipated nights of the year returns this Saturday, October 25th, when LKQ Pick Your Part presents the "Craziest Show On Dirt," Night of Destruction. In addition to the trademark racing and high-impact crashes, fans can enjoy the annual Halloween trick-or-treating session on the track with the drivers and cars at intermission, along with costume contests for kids. Spectator gates open at 5:00 p.m., with racing set to begin at 7:00. The Halloween tradition started several years ago from a spur-of-the-moment idea. "Two days before the show, sometime before COVID, Shelly Wooldridge suggested that kids in costume collect candy from the drivers at intermission," promoter Don Kazarian recalled. "I didn't expect much as we did not have a lot of time to get the word out, but the drivers responded, and to our surprise, more than 200 kids showed up in costume. It was incredible considering we only had 48 hours to prepare." The following year, the event returned by popular demand — and attendance more than doubled. Since then, it has grown into a staple of the Night of Destruction series. "It's one of the most enjoyable nights we have all year," Kazarian said. "The show has everything — great racing, wild crashes, and fun for all ages. The name Night of Destruction says it all. At intermission, the drivers and crews love handing out candy as much as the kids love collecting it. Plus, it's a safe, exciting way for kids to trick-or-treat." Saturday's event will feature several fan-favorite divisions, including the chaotic Figure 8s, the unpredictable Figure 8 Trailer Race, Mighty Mini Stocks on the twisting road course, no holds barred Demo Cross, and the always-entertaining Double Deckers. "It's truly a great family night," Kazarian added. "You get exciting racing, wild crashes, candy, and costumes — everything that makes Halloween at the track special." Tickets are $25.00 for ages 13 and up, $10.00 for kids (6-12), and free for children 5 and under. Parking on the fairgrounds is $20 (payment byu card only for parking). Advance tickets are available at tix.com, and walk-up tickets will be available at the gate. Perris Auto Speedway is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds, 18700 Lake Perris Drive, Perris, California. On-site camping is available for $25 per night beginning at noon on Fridays.

- SOS ANNOUNCES LS ENGINE OPTION
ST. MARYS, Ont. (October 21, 2025) - In an effort to make 360 Sprint Car racing in Southern Ontario more affordable, the Southern Ontario Sprints (SOS) will be allowing a spec General Motors (GM) LS-3 racing engine for the 2026 racing season. The engine will feature an aluminum block and heads and - based on current pricing - will have an out-the-door maximum cost of $26,000 CAD. This engine is not meant to make obsolete or replace the current 360 engine program already in place; it is to allow teams a lower-cost alternative to compete at the 360 level. The target for the engine will be 640 horsepower; while that is shy of the current 700-plus horsepower engines, it is expected that the LS engine's 75-pound weight advantage will offset most of the power differential. The engine will utilize aftermarket components in several areas, but will use an aluminum block and cylinder heads as supplied from GM. To ease the transition for any interested 602 Crate Sprint Car teams, the engine has been designed to use the same Holley carburetor and fuel pump system that is in current use in the Crate division. A prototype engine has been developed by DSE Performance and successfully run in late-season competition by Jamie Turner. In its first race with the Ontario Traditional Sprints series, Turner finished second in the feature event. In its only SOS race at Merrittville on Oct 4, Jamie started 25th with the engine and had advanced four positions when brake issues halted the team after eight laps. The three leading Sprint Car engine builders in Ontario are all involved in the rules package development. This group includes DSE Performance, Leitch Performance Engines, and Klotz Engine Machine Shop - these will be the only accredited LS engine builders. The majority of the rules package has been finalized but - in an effort to maximize horsepower with no cost impact and to ensure parts availability - some work has yet to be completed. Since the project's beginning, we have kept in contact with Ohsweken Speedway management and made them aware of the engine's development. In return, Ohsweken track management has stated that they will allow the engine to compete in their 360 Sprint Car events, with Brighton Speedway on board as well. We will keep you informed of any further developments and a finalized rules package in the next few weeks. Please contact Peter Turford at pturford@southernontariosprints.com for more information. Peter Turford President Southern Ontario Sprints About: The Southern Ontario Sprints series sanctioned its first race in 1996, making it one of Canada's longest-running motorsports sanctioning bodies. The Southern Ontario Sprints 2025 schedule will see the organization competing at five racing facilities in Canada.

- OCTOBER CLASSIC IS NEXT UP FOR THE NARC SPRINT CARS AT KERN RACEWAY
(10/20/25 - Andrew Kunas) Bakersfield, CA ... The closing stretch of the 2025 NARC 410 Sprint Car Series campaign continues with the October Classic this Saturday (October 25th), as the series makes its only appearance of the season at the Bakersfield Speedway dirt track at Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway. The October Classic combo-show also features the CARS Tour and the "Harvick Showdown" with NASCAR champion Kevin Harvick and his son Keelan racing against each other in late models on the half-mile asphalt oval. The NARC show will follow that event on the neighboring dirt track, located just outside of turn four. Race fans can purchase a $30 ticket to get into both events. The pavement race starts at 6:00 p.m., the NARC show at approximately 7:30 p.m. NARC last visited the Kern Raceway dirt track this time last year, but since then the old Bakersfield Speedway in nearby Oildale closed and its operations transferred over to the dirt track at Kern. The dirt track facility now operates as Bakersfield Speedway at Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway. The facility has also undergone improvements since NARC's last visit, including additional seating. No matter the official name of the track, action will be hot on Saturday night with much at stake. Things remain tight at the top of the NARC standings with only two events remaining. D.J. Netto of Hanford picked up an enormous victory on October 11th at Antioch Speedway to increase his point lead over Oroville's Sean Becker, who finished fourth in that race. Just 12 points now separate the two former series champions. Netto has three NARC wins on the season, including winning both Antioch races. Becker is winless on the season but has been strongly consistent all season and more than once has knocked on the door of victory. Even with Netto winning in NARC's last outing, one misstep by Netto coupled with a strong outing by Becker - or even better, a win for him - could really shake things up for the November 1st finale at the Stockton Dirt Track. WHO TO WATCH In last year's October Classic at Kern Raceway, it was San Jose's Tim Kaeding picking up the victory. The veteran racer and former NARC champion led every lap, but had to withstand a number of race stoppages and challenges for the lead along the way. Kaeding, long one of the most popular and exciting racers out of California, will be one to watch again. Another Kaeding to watch will be Tim's brother Bud, who sits third in the NARC points. The Campbell driver won his 23rd NARC feature event of his career, winning the Johnny Key Classic at Ocean Speedway in August. Clovis driver Dominic Gorden ran a strong second in the race at Antioch and set fast time in qualifying earlier that evening. Having won the Dave Bradway Jr Memorial earlier this season and posting other podium finishes, Gorden is hoping to capture a second NARC victory on the season before the season is up. Having opened in 2015, the Kern Raceway dirt track has hosted numerous sprint car races and other open wheel events on its 1/3-mile clay oval. Shane Golobic was a NARC winner in 2022 and the following year it was Corey Day picking up a win there on his way to the 2023 NARC championship. Future NARC champion Justin Sanders picked up a win there in 2021. Mariah Ede is expected to race and will look to all but wrap up NARC Rookie of the Year honors. The young lady from Fresno has had her struggles during his first year in a 410 sprint car, but has shown speed at times also. Former NARC champion Dominic Scelzi of Fresno is expected, along with Oregon driver Tanner Holmes, Templeton's Kaleb Montgomery, Lemoore's Gauge Garcia, Redding's Max Mittry, Windsor's John Clark, Gilroy's Jarrett Soares, and Benicia's Billy Aton. FAN INFO The Bakersfield Speedway dirt track at Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway is located at 13500 Raceway Blvd, nearby the Interstate 5 / Hwy 43 interchange. The 1/3-mile clay oval sits just to the north of the half-mile asphalt track. WMR midgets and the SoCal dwarf cars will be joining NARC on Saturday. General admission is $30 for adults. Front gates at the dirt track open at 6:00 p.m. with racing scheduled for approximately 8:00 p.m. The Northern Auto Racing Club is the premier 410 winged sprint car series in the western United States. Since 1960, the traveling organization has thrilled fans at dirt tracks up and down the West Coast and crowned a "King of the West" champion.

- Franek Earns $4,000 in ESS Season Finale at Outlaw Speedway
By Curtis Berleue (Fulton, NY) | For one final time in 2025, the Empire Super Sprints hit the track at the Outlaw Speedway on Friday night. 'No Panic' Davie Franek backed up his triumph back in July at the 4/10 mile oval with another trip to victory lane, earning $4,000 along the way. Franek would draw the Pinnacle pole award, and line up alongside of Josh Hansen for the 25-lap main event. Hansen took the lead early, using the high side of the track to open up a decent gap between himself and Franek, while Sammy Reakes IV fell into third. Hansen continued to set a torrid pace out front, and survived a few restarts early in the event that saw Franek line back up alongside of him. By lap 10, 7th-starting DJ Christie had worked his way into the top three, following Hansen and Franek. As the laps clicked off, Franek started to slowly cut into Hansen's lead. On lap 15, Franek had caught Hansen as the duo worked through lap traffic. Using the outside lane through turns one and two, Franek was able to get by Hansen to take the lead. Through the final 10 laps, the leaderboard would remain unchanged, and Franek took the checkers first over Josh Hansen. DJ Christie rounded out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium in third, while A-Verdi Storage Containers hard charger of the night Jordan Hutton came home fourth and Sammy Reakes IV completed the top five. With $4,000 on the line Friday night along with a $5,000 bonus if a driver could win both Friday in the 360 and Saturday in a 305 at Outlaw, 50 cars signed into the pits for the final night of action in 2025. The field was split into 6 timed hot lap groups with DJ Christie, Davie Franek, Ryan Turner, Sammy Reakes IV, Spencer Burley and Dalton Rombough earning Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards. Elab Smokers Boutique heat wins went to DJ Christie, Davie Franek, Ryan Turner, Jason Barney, Jonathan Preston and Dalton Rombough. Lacaillade Masonry B-Mains were won by Chase Moran and Shawn Donath. The final event on the schedule for the Empire Super Sprints in 2025 is the annual rules meeting and awards banquet at Vernon Downs Hotel and Casino on Saturday November 15.

- Joel Myers Jr. claims Trophy Cup title/ Tanner Holmes wins $10,000 main event
Tulare, CA…Joel Myers Jr. charged from 24th to eighth in the main event on Saturday night at Tulare Thunderbowl Raceway, securing the $30,000 Abreu Vineyards Trophy Cup benefiting the Rayce Rudeen Foundation championship for the first time in his career. While Myers captured the title Jacksonville, Oregon's Tanner Holmes picked up a thrilling late race win during the 50 lap Trophy Cup finale aboard the Tarlton & Son No. 21 mount. The event featured a dramatic and exciting conclusion on Saturday night with fantastic racing right from the drop of the green flag. Oregon driver Tyler Thompson made a memorable last corner move to take the final transfer spot into the feature. He then proceeded to jump into the lead at the start of the fully inverted A-main. Thompson held command until catching the wall in turn one and getting upside down, putting him out of the race. Washington youngster Levi Hillier then inherited the lead and did an impressive job keeping the talented field at bay for several laps. Tanner Holmes moved into the runner up spot on lap 19 and then gave chase after the leader. With fans on the edge of their seats Holmes blasted to the inside on lap 28 and made it side by side for the top spot. Hillier was caught in a tough spot and contacted the wall getting upside down to bring out a red flag. With Holmes now up front he soon had to deal with a fast-moving Spencer Bayston in the Works Limited W machine. The action was fast and furious around the Thunderbowl Raceway with a close race for the lead, along with the high point drivers moving their way forward from the rear. Bayston hounded Holmes for several laps and finally made the move by on lap 46 to grab the top spot. Holmes stayed close however and made a bold move to grab the lead back coming to the white flag. Bayston attempted to take it back on the final lap, but Holmes fended him to claim his first Trophy Cup main event win. Bayston came home second, followed by 12th starting Justyn Cox, who had a stellar run and was in contention for the Trophy Cup championship at times. Eleventh starting Kaleb Montgomery and 17th starter Dominic Scelzi rounded out the top five. 23rd starter Colby Copeland, Landon Brooks, 24th starter Joel Myers Jr., Austin Wood and 21st starter Ryan Bernal completed the top 10. When all was said and done Joel Myers Jr. wrapped up the Abreu Vineyards Trophy Cup 31 title by just three points over Colby Copeland. Myers piloted the Hayward Motorsports No. 19 to the championship with a strong drive in both his heat race and the main event on Saturday night. Copeland's run was also ultra impressive after visiting the work area early in the race. Scelzi, Cox and Montgomery comprised the remainder of the top five in points. The full points rundown can be viewed at https://www.tularetrophycup.com/standings/ On behalf of Thunderbowl Raceway and 26 Promotions we would like to thank everybody for their gracious support of the Trophy Cup and making it another special event.

- Frank Flud Finds Victory Lane in POWRi Stock Non-Wing KKM Giveback Classic Championship Night
Tulsa, OK. (10/18/25) Frank Flud would emerge victorious in the Championship Night of the headlining Seventh Annual Eibach Racing Keith Kunz Motorsports Giveback Classic presented by Max Papis Innovations to claim his third career victory with the POWRi Stock Non-Wing Micro League at Port City Raceway after leading fifty-four of the sixty-seven laps. "I've got a really good ride with Jody Rosenboom for the Chili Bowl, so I'm going to take the money, but maybe Keith will let me turn on some wrenches or something this winter," said Frank Flud in victory lane in reference to the ride or prize money question. Going through an impressive field of ninety-five entries of the POWRi Stock Non-Wing Micro division in the KKM Giveback Classic would find Kale Drake set the quick non-lock-in group qualifying time with a time of 9.743 seconds. Jacob Moseley would emerge victorious in E-Feature with Seth Stenzel and Kameron Chamness winning D-Features as Kale Drake and Jonathan Beason took the C-Feature checkers to set up Jett Nunley and Cole Roberts ahead in the B-Feature results. Flying onto the smooth Port City Raceway surface for Championship Night feature racing in the Eibach Racing Keith Kunz Motorsports Giveback Classic presented by Max Papis Innovations, event high point qualifier and dash winner Kris Carroll would battle outside front-row contender Frank Flud as the green flew with Kris Carroll holding the front of the field over the first fourteen laps. Taking the top spot on lap thirteen, Frank Flud would pass for the lead as Kris Carroll, Chris Andrews, Cole Roberts, and Brecken Reese battled closely behind the sought-after preferred position. Holding court over the final revolutions, Frank Flud would not be denied while claiming his third career POWRi Stock Non-Wing Micro victory as Cole Roberts would finish in the closely contended second spot after starting tenth, with fifth starter Chris Andrews finalizing the podium placements. "Such a huge win for me, we didn't have the best car on track, but it was all about track position tonight," said Frank Flud in the Port City Raceway winner's circle. Adding "I've been after this one for a while, and it feels good to say, I'm an old guy that got it done tonight". Driving from a twenty-first start, Brecken Reese would hard-charge through the field to lock down the fourth spot as eighth starting Wout Hoffmans rounded out the top five finishers in the POWRi Outlaw Micro League feature in the Championship Night of the Eibach Racing Keith Kunz Motorsports Giveback Classic presented by Max Papis Innovations at Port City Raceway.

- Pierce Wins $100,000 For Second Consecutive Dirt Track World Championship at Eldora
ROSSBURG, OH (October 18, 2025) - Bobby Pierce became the fourth driver in the 45-year history of Carl Short's Dirt Track World Championship presented by ARP to win the Crown Jewel race in back-to-back years, as he withstood a back-and-forth battle with Chris Madden and went on to win the $100,000 event for the on Saturday night at Eldora Speedway. Devin Moran, with his fourth-place finish, clinched his first career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing National Championship, earning him a record $250,000. Pierce led 44 of the 100 laps and joined Scott Bloomquist, Josh Richards, and Brandon Sheppard as the only drivers to win the event, which began in 1981, in consecutive years. Madden was in front for a race-leading 56 laps as he earned $20,000 for second place. Brandon Sheppard, who was seeking a history-making sixth DTWC, rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third. Moran and Nick Hoffman rounded out the rest of the top five. Madden was in control early on, leading the first 49 laps of the race, when Pierce, who started 13th, took the lead at the halfway point. The two then traded the race lead several times until Pierce finally managed to pull away from Madden. Madden ran second until Moran took over the runner-up position on lap 76. Moran maintained second place until the final caution of the race, which came out with 88 laps completed. Madden then managed to pass Moran on the restart, but Pierce was able to pull away somewhat, crossing the finish line 1.390 seconds ahead of the South Carolina driver to secure his 29th career series win. The Oakwood, Illinois driver who won from 14th a year ago, came from the inside of row seven this year to collect the win. "I didn't know how tonight would go after last night. B-Shepp said last night that the track would be good tonight, and it was. You know, Longhorn doesn't build a bad car. This car here has won three big races at Eldora now, so we might have to keep it in rotation. You know, we might make the JD car out of it and just bring it here to Eldora to race." "I was getting a little worked up because it's been a month and a half since I won a race, which is rare for me, so this feels awesome. I know Brandon (Sheppard) has had a great run in the DTWC; he always shows up around this time of year. Obviously, with Freddy (Smith), I never got to race against him, and those guys are top-notch. I hope I can be on that list of five or more wins. Let's do it again next year." Moran, the driver of the Double Down Motorsports #99, became the 10th different champion in the 21-year history of the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series, celebrating with his crew, family, and friends on the Eldora stage afterward. "It's about time, and it's an incredible feeling. Thank you, Eldora. Winning these championships is really tough. Honestly, I felt like I had a really good car. I drove a very conservative race, which kind of backfired at the end because I chose the bottom lane; I didn't want to put myself in a bad situation and get slid going into one and two, which cost me a couple of spots. I don't think I had anything for Bobby - he had a really good car. I never really pushed as hard as I could because I didn't want any problems. I saw Ricky and JD having issues, and I didn't want to cause any myself," said the Dresden, Ohio native. "It was hard to stay focused at the end. I got flustered during that restart. I felt like I did a really good job staying focused, running a smart and solid race, and I had a good car to do that. I hit the cushion hard in turns one and two, and I was thinking, Devin, get through the race - there are just a couple of laps left - just finish it and go celebrate with my friends, family, and crew. So, like I said, it is a really amazing feeling."
