Forryst Carnett is working on the Late Model portion while Russ Murphy with Ford's Only is heading up the Pure Stock side of things. Bryan Carnett was a true fan of the stock car divisions at Placerville Speedway while racing, owning, and sponsoring both Pure Stocks and Late Models throughout the decade he spent at the track. Bryan had a knack for storytelling. He could carry on a conversation with anyone and oftentimes had people in tears laughing from his sense of humor. He was known for his generous, caring personality and was always willing to give of himself to help someone in need. On October 18, 2015, after a short but aggressive battle with brain, bone and lung cancer, Bryan passed away at his home in Placerville surrounded by his family. "Placerville Speedway has always been our home track, and I am thrilled that Scott Russell and Kami Arnold were willing to host the Carnett Clash once again," said Forryst Carnett, son of the late Bryan Carnett. "I am hoping we can build upon the success we've had and have another exciting night of racing, which is the best way to remember the competitive spirit of my dad." Oakley's Nick Baldwin is in search of an eighth Pure Stock championship at Placerville Speedway and heads into the Carnett Clash sitting atop the standings.

Auburn's Ray Trimble leads the way in the wins category with four triumphs to his credit thus far. Young Noah Lapoint brings the Mountain Democrat Mini Truck point lead into the Carnett Clash.

- $4,011 to Win Outlaw Summer Nationals Next for Empire Super Sprints
By Curtis Berleue (Dundee, NY) | One of the biggest nights of sprint car racing in New York is set to hit the track on Friday night at Outlaw Speedway in Dundee, NY. The Empire Super Sprints will be competing in the annual Outlaw Summer Nationals, an event that will pay $4,011 to the winner. Also on the card for the night will be the CRSA 305 sprints, competing for a $2,011 top prize. Over the past few seasons, there has been an increased number of drivers competing simultaneously in the 305 and 360 ranks in the northeast, and as such a bonus has been put up - if a driver is to win both the 360 and 305 A-Main on Friday night, they will take home an extra $5,000. That means one drive could potentially leave Dundee with an $11,022 payday. In one previous Empire Super Sprints A-Main held at Outlaw this season, Jordan Hutton was victorious. He picked up $4,220 with his victory in the Outlaw Spring Nationals back on April 24. Hutton will look to repeat his early season success in Dundee in chase of the bonus money this weekend - he also has won at the track in a 305 (August, 2025). With the season now in its mid-summer stretch, Jordan Poirier still sits atop the standings with a 36 point lead over Zach Sobotka. Perennial Outlaw Speedway favorite Davie Franek is currently third, with Jordan Thomas and Jason Barney rounding out the top five. While Poirier hopes to make 2026 a fifth-straight championship season, the battle is far from over with 12 A-Mains having been completed thus far, and 12 left to be completed on the schedule. The Donath Motor Worx Dash will be presented by Lanes Yamaha this Friday. Located just over the hill from the Outlaw Speedway in Watkins Glen, Lanes Yamaha has been a longtime supporter of both the Outlaw Speedway and Empire Super Sprints. For more information on this weekends event, including gate times, prices and a nightly schedule of events, please visit the Outlaw Speedway website and social media pages, along with the Empire Super Sprints social media pages.

- Dave Camp Memorial this Friday at Big Diamond Speedway will award extra cash incentives to 602 Crate Sportsman and Roadrunners
(Minersville, PA 7-27-26) Big Diamond Speedway will close out the month of July this coming Friday evening with the 10th Annual Dave Camp Memorial. With the BQ Concrete 358 Modifieds having the night off the USS Achey Inc. 602 Crate Sportsman will top the bill along with the Red White and Blue Autos Inc., Roadrunners racing in Twin-12's and paying $350-to-win each plus the Big Creek Concrete Rookie 602 Crate Sportsman are back in action and to top things off the East Coast Legend Series will be in the house racing for a top prize of $1500. The Dave Kamp Memorial has been held annually at Big Diamond Speedway for the past nine seasons and is dedicated to an individual who was very well-known and liked by all who knew him. Dave, who was from Schuylkill Haven, raced in the Street Stock and Roadrunner divisions at Big Diamond as well as at Susquehanna and Selinsgrove Speedways. He had an untimely passing just shy of his 40th birthday from a massive heart attack. Dave was very close friends with fellow racer John Deatrich Jr. and since his passing Deatrich has gone above and beyond to make this memorial event in his honor a race that awards drivers throughout the field with extra cash. "We had met in high school and when I started racing which was with the Street Stocks, Dave tagged along to help me on my crew, and he became one of the guys I could count on the most. We became best friends and he was even the best man at my wedding," recalled Deatrich. "He was an absolutely great guy." Dave was very well-known for his abilities as a high school and college athlete. At 6'4" and 250 pounds he excelled on the football field and was awarded All County Defensive Lineman during his high school years. "He was well known for his athletic abilities on the football field, and he was just so well liked and known and not only because of what he did athletically and with his racing, but he was big as a community volunteer too, he didn't have a single enemy," said Deatrich. As a racer Dave had his share of success but like anyone else had some rough patches too. "Dave did well for himself and he won a few times, ran upfront and he had a good connection with Don Murphy and Jim Sommers and had a good program put together and didn't spend a ton of money so there was plenty of nights he didn't do well and sometimes would run mid-pack and that's kind of where this whole thing spawned from," explained Deatrich. "He struggled before he did well and his mom always said to me I don't mind giving money to the Memorial, but I want it to go to the person who finishes in ninth place which was Dave's number." Deatrich noted that whoever wins is very deserving but is also looking out for those who may not be as lucky and that's what he's worked tirelessly for to raise additional funds for the Crate Sportsman and Roadrunner classes. "Congratulations to whoever wins and those guys who finish up front, they earned it, but I also want to make sure that say the guy who finishes ninth because Dave's number was nine gets some extra money and I want some money to go further back through the field," said Deatrich. The incentives run deep for both the Sportsman and Roadrunners for the Dave Camp Memorial thanks to Deatrich and many area businesses who have stepped up to ensure the continued success of this race. There will be added money for the winners and on through to selected finishing positions plus Deatrich also has included a Hard Charger Award to the driver(s) who starts deepest in the field and finishes furthest to the front. A complete listing of monetary awards are listed on the track's Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/bigdiamondspeedway General admission is $15, kids 10-15 are $10 and under 9 free. Pit admission is $35 for members and $45 non-members. Pits open at 5:00 pm and grandstands at 5:30 pm. Hot laps will begin at 6:45 pm with racing to follow.
