  Hangtown 100 caps Placerville Speedway season Friday & Saturday

  Placerville, CA…The USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midgets are primed to take on Placerville Speedway this Friday and Saturday for the 5th running of the Hangtown 100. Two night ticket packages and single night tickets are available by visiting https://www.eventsprout.com/event/psr-111524 or by purchasing at the gate on race day. The event puts a wrap on the 2024 season at the El Dorado County Fairgrounds based Placerville Speedway. Last year saw Elk Grove's Kyle Larson claim his second Hangtown 100 championship, while winning the feature each night. Larson also scooped up the inaugural running of the event in 2019. This Friday's opening night main event will hand out $5,000-to-win, with Saturday offering $10,000-to-win the much anticipated 100-lap contest. "The Hangtown 100 has become a marquee event to close out the season at Placerville Speedway," commented track Promoter Scott Russell. "The USAC National Midgets have put on some breathtaking shows here the last several years and we expect more of the same this weekend. Hopefully the fans will come out and support two great nights of racing this Friday and Saturday." The USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midgets are set for a busy West Coast swing that gets underway at Placerville Speedway on Friday. Locust Grove, Oklahoma driver Daison Pursley brings the series point lead into the Golden State as he searches for a USAC championship, before hitting the Kubota High Limit Racing trail next year. Behind Pursley in the USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midget Championship standings are Xtreme Outlaw & POWRi Midget champ Cannon McIntosh, Ryan Timms, 2024 USAC National Sprint Car titlist Logan Seavey and Zach Daum. Seavey has put together a fantastic season across all three USAC National divisions and will be gunning for the Hangtown 100 this weekend in front of his home state fans. Fresh off a tremendous rookie campaign with the World of Outlaws, California native and fan favorite Buddy Kofoid is geared up to return home for the Hangtown 100. Kofoid captured the event in 2022 and hopes to do so again after locking up Rookie of the Year honors last week with the Outlaws. Former winner of the Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial, Corey Day of Clovis, will be another California favorite on hand. Day has had a phenomenal season including wins at the Trophy Cup, the Super Dirt Cup and the Gold Cup Race of Champions among others. Placerville Speedway has also hosted a pair of Avanti Windows & Doors USAC Western States Midget events this year, with wins going to Hanford's Michael Faccinto and Bakersfield's Cade Lewis, who went on to wrap up the series title in October. More drivers looking to bring home the Hangtown 100 will include Justin Grant, Tanner Thorson, Spencer Bayston, Emerson Axsom, Chris Windom, Shane Golobic, Tyler Courtney, Tanner Carrick, Kaylee Bryson, Drake Edwards and others. The Wingless BCRA Lightning Sprints will complement the event each night. The division has provided entertaining racing during the Hangtown 100 over the last few years. Langley, BC driver Levi Klatt brought home the big win during the finale last season.

  JEFF AND SETH DYER BACK IN ACTION THIS SATURDAY AT VENTURA

  (Yucca Valley, CA, September 25, 2024) Dyer Motorsports will be back on the road this Saturday night, September 28, when the father and son team of Jeff and Seth Dyer make the 165-mile trek from Yucca Valley, California, to the Ventura Raceway. The California Lightning Series race will be the family team's fourth night of action in three weeks. Two weeks ago at Ventura, both the #4 and #4JR were in action. In only his second night back after two months off due to a broken arm and concussion he suffered in a violent crash in a USAC/CRA race at Perris, Jeff, a California Highway Patrol Officer by day, placed third in the main. Seventeen-year-old Seth finished three spots behind his father in sixth. Earlier that night, Jeff recorded the second-fastest qualifying time with a lap of 12.363. Seth, who gets faster with each passing race, was fourth at 12.695. Matched together in the second heat, Jeff captured his lead-tying fourth heat race win of the season. Seth took third in the same race. Those finishes came 24 hours after Jeff placed eighth and Seth finished 11th in the CLS main at the Bakersfield Speedway. Last Saturday night, Seth was representing Dyer Motorsports/Cal Smith Racing in the Perris Auto Speedway Young Gun Series. At the last Young Guns race, Seth swept the show, winning both his heat and the main event going away. Things started out the same last weekend when he won his heat race with a full straightaway advantage. His main event fortunes looked bright. However, his shifter cable broke when he was bumping off for the main event, denying his chance to make it two in a row. In addition to Seth racing with the Young Guns last Saturday, longtime veteran Cal Smith drove the same #39 car in the USAC/CRA portion of the show. Unfortunately, Smith left the action early and finished 18th. Fortunately, his early exit meant he had no chance of being involved in the multitude of accidents that saw several cars destroyed. After Saturday, Jeff and Seth will head north for the final round of the Civil War Series that matches the CLS with Northern California's BCRA in the 10th Albright Memorial at Doug Lockwood's Merced Speedway on October 5th. To see Jeff and Seth take on the CLS' finest this Saturday on the "Best Little Dirt Track In America," adult tickets are $18.00. For seniors 65 and over, it is $15.00. Military and students with ids also get in for $15.00. Kids 12 and under are free when an adult accompanies them. Spectator gates will open at 3:00 p.m., and the first race will get the green flag at 5:30. The track is located on the Ventura County Fairgrounds at 10 W. Harbor Boulevard (93001). The website is http://venturaraceway.com/, and the office phone number is (805) 648-RACE. If you have a Facebook account, Seth did an interview before last Saturday's race. You can hear it here https://www.facebook.com/reel/1019188306156799. In 2024, the following marketing partners will help keep the Dyers on track. Dependable Machine Inc., Haircuts By Susie, Jobu Racing, LBA Investigations, Straight Time Stirrups, Justice Brothers, Fonseca Racing, Specialty Fasteners, and Blud Racing Lubricants. If you would like to be a part of Dyer Motorsports in 2024, call (760) 550-7237 or send an email to mailto:dyermotorsports4@gmail.com. Jeff is racing in memory of his grandparents, Glenn, and Beverly Sels, throughout the 2024 season.

  THREE RACES IN TWO CLASSES FOR SEXTON GATLIN RACING THIS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY

  (Lakeside, CA, September 11, 2024) After a weekend away from the track, Sexton Gatlin Racing returns to action with a busy 24 hours this Friday and Saturday, contesting three races in two nights at two tracks. On Friday, Grant Sexton will return to the site of one of his biggest wins, the Bakersfield Speedway, to race in the California Lightning Sprint Car Series vs Bay Cities Racing Association Civil War event. Twenty-four hours later, he will be joined by his father, Brent, for the Ultimate Sprint Car Series race presented by Inland Rigging at the Ventura Raceway. Friday's race will be the second time the CLS has teamed with the World of Outlaws at the "Okie Bowl." The race will bring back memories of the then-17-year-old's magnificent triumph in March of 2022. Competing in front of a near-capacity live crowd and thousands more World of Outlaw fans watching from around the world on Dirt Vision, Grant fearlessly banged the Bakersfield boards over the final few laps and took the lead less than a foot before the checkered flag. Sexton's thrilling win that night sent the crowd into a frenzy and earned him a standing ovation. His enthusiastic victory speech afterward charged the crowd up one more time before the CLS turned the track over to the World of Outlaws. For Grant, whose mantel at home already sports the 2021 POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Championship hardware, 2019 POWRi Nationals Night #1 winner's trophy, and the 2023 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year award, Friday will only be his second lightning sprint car race of 2024. His first came minutes away from the family's Lakeside, California compound at the Barona Speedway on May 11th. That night, the young driver arrived late at the track and had to start last in each race. In the main event, he started 13th and was up to fourth before the lap five mark. By the end of the 20-lapper, he had advanced another spot to finish third and win the race Hard Charger award. In addition to both of the Sexton's racing in the USCS event at Santa Maria on Saturday, USAC/CRA star AJ Bender of San Diego will step into the team's lightning sprint for the CLS race at Ventura. Bender has been a lethal hired gun for SGR in the past. Last year, in November's Hangtown 100 at Placerville, he won the first two nights and finished second to Grant at the finale. That bookended a season that saw him win the March SWLS opener at Imperial Valley. In 2021, Bender won a round of the Cal Cup in Lemoore and placed second on all three nights at the Hangtown 100 in Placerville in an SGR car. Advance tickets for the World of Outlaws/CLS show at Bakersfield are available now at the following link: https://worldofoutlaws.com/sprintcars/The track is located at 5001 North Chester Ext. Ave., Bakersfield (93308). The track website is bakersfieldspeedway.com, and the office phone number is (661) 393-3373. Adult tickets for Ventura are $22.00. For seniors 65 and over, it is $18.00. Military and students with id also get in for $18.00. Kids 12 and under are free when they are accompanied by an adult. The track is located on the Ventura County Fairgrounds at 10 W. Harbor Boulevard (93001). The website is http://venturaraceway.com/ and the office phone number is (805) 648-RACE. Fans from out of town can catch both of the races streaming live this weekend. Friday's race will be on Dirt Vision and Saturday's show will be on Flo Racing. Grant and Brent were last on track over Labor Day weekend at the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA race at Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway on Saturday and the USCS race at Santa Maria the next night. At Kern, things started off bright enough for Grant when he qualified ninth fastest in the 27-car field. In his heat, he finished fourth, which was one position better than Brent, who earlier in the night qualified 18th. Grant started the main in ninth, with Brent coming from 18th. Unfortunately, Grant's night ended early when he broke a drag link. That stuck him with a 20th-place finish. Brent, who is 52, started 18th in the main event and moved forward to finish 13th. The following night at Santa Maria, Grant was third fastest in his qualifying group and 10th overall with a lap of 14.105. His dad's qualifying time was 14.333. That was the fourth fastest in his group and 15th best of the night. Brent had success in his 10-lap heat race. He started on the pole and steered his white and orange #44 to his first USCS heat victory. Grant was in heat three and moved up one position to place second. When the 30-lap main event pushed through the pit gate, Brent was starting fifth. Grant was a couple of rows behind on the inside of row five in ninth. Unfortunately for Grant, his main event ended early for the second night in a row with another issue. Things went better for Brent, who had his best run in a full-size car this year. However, it was not without a problem. Running in the top five early in the race, he had to go to the back of the pack after going around on the back chute. As the yellow flag came out for his mishap, Brent had to restart at the back. From there, he stayed focused and drove all the way up to ninth. Sexton Gatlin Racing would like to thank the following companies for making the 2024 season possible. East County Electric Works, Keys Brothers, BR Motorsports, Maxima Oil, Automated Interiors, Sexton Fire Protection, BK Wings, Troy Dirt.

  Austin Wood races to initial Sprint Car victory at Placerville Speedway

  Placerville, CA…Fourteen-year-old Micro graduate Austin Wood has been nothing short of impressive during his rookie campaign at Placerville Speedway. After showing consistency all season, the Sacramento driver was able to park it in victory lane for the first time in his young Sprint Car career on Saturday night. Sharing victory lane on Anrak Night at the Races were Cade Lewis with the USAC/BCRA Midgets, Jake Morgan with the BCRA Lightning Sprints and Nick Baldwin with the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks. The 25-lap Thompson's Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Car main event started off a little ragged, but once things got going, it was Austin Wood setting the pace over Ashton Torgerson. A multi-car incident on lap six then saw Torgerson get caught up in it, forcing him to the rear of the field. Numerous slowdowns were seen in the feature, but Wood hit his marks on each restart. Suisun City youngster Chance Grasty gave chase after the leader and looked very strong all night long. Grasty had to fend off several challenges from Lincoln's Tanner Carrick as the race wound down as well. With a couple circuits remaining Grasty closed fast on Wood and made it a battle for the lead. The final lap saw the duo race nose to tail down to the checkered flag, which saw Wood edge out Grasty to claim the big win. Carrick crossed the stripe in third, followed by point leader Andy Forsberg and 17th starter Tony Gomes, who was the Hard Charger after winning the B-main. Rounding out the top-10 were Bubba Decaires, Dustin Freitas, Camden Robustelli, Izaak Sharp and Jake Haulot. The USAC Western States/ BCRA Midget 30-lap main event began with TJ Smith jumping out to the early lead. Tanner Carrick was doing double duty in both the Midget and Sprint Car on Saturday, and quickly found the high side to his liking. Current USAC point leader Cade Lewis slow rolled the bottom to perfection however, as he sliced his way into the top-spot on lap eight. After that it was all Lewis up front who cruised to the Ron Stahl checkered flag ahead of Carrick, Smith, Brandon Wiley and Drake Edwards. Fair Oaks racer Jake Morgan made a start with the BCRA Lightning Sprints on Saturday and drove to victory during their annual Tracy Taylor Memorial. Hunter Kinney stalked him every step of the way but couldn't make the pass and settled for a runner up finish. Tyler Gerdes, Matt Land and Bradley Schmidt completed the top-five. The Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks continued their trend of providing exciting racing in the main event. Jason Poppert has shown speed at times this year and led the opening stages of the feature. Current runner up in the standings Kevin Jinkerson then carved his way by for the top-spot on lap seven. Poppert stayed close however, as the action was hot and heavy throughout the pack. The complexion of the race changed when contact ensued between Jinkerson and Poppert while battling for the point on lap 17. Jinkerson ultimately came to a stop, while Poppert was put to the rear in a rough driving call. Five-time track champ and point leader Nick Baldwin now found himself out front and he would lead the remainder for win number six on the season. Tyler Lightfoot, Wayne Trimble, Tommy Sturgeon and David Silva rounded out the top-five.

  Jock Goodyer surges to Nor*Cal Posse Shootout triumph

  Placerville, CA…After driving back from Washington on Friday in time for this weekends Nor*Cal Posse Shootout, Australian 360 Sprint Car champion Jock Goodyer put on a clinic Sunday night, scoring his initial Placerville Speedway victory. The Launceston, TAS, Australia wheelman piloted the Kevin Kozlowski owned Works Limited No. 57w, wrenched by Paul Silva, to an $8,000 score during the 7th running of the Nor*Cal Posse Shootout presented by Berco Redwood. Sharing victory lane on Sunday night was Roseville driver Brent Steck, who earned a $5,000 win in the High Sierra West Coast Wingless Shootout portion of the evening. The 35-lap Winged 360 Sprint Car feature started out with Fresno's Caeden Steele leading the opening circuit, until Goodyer made the move under him to grab the point. At that same time Steele's car broke loose and he looped it to a stop, bringing out a caution with one lap down. Once out front Goodyer had his way with things and withstood multiple restarts, keeping the rest of the field at bay. He went on to accept the Ron Stahl checkered flag for his first career victory in the United States. Placerville's own Shane Hopkins continued his fantastic season with another strong run after starting from position number 11. The driver of the High Sierra Industries No. 21 made several precision-based moves to charge forward and grab second from Monrovia, Indiana's Justin Peck with three laps remaining. Hopkins closed the gap slightly but couldn't do anything with Goodyer as the race wrapped up. Lincoln's Tanner Carrick put together a solid run and was able to nip Peck at the line to round out the podium. After competing with Kubota High Limit Racing on Saturday at Skagit Speedway, Peck made the 13-hour drive south to compete for owner Clayton Snow. He was rewarded with a fourth-place finish, while 14th starter Chance Grasty rounded out the podium. Completing the top 10 were Dylan Bloomfield, Cody Key, 18th starter Colby Copeland, Sean Becker and Tony Gomes. Copeland's run from 18th to eighth netted him the $425 Hard Charger Award in memory of Davy Thomas. A total of 31 Winged Sprint Cars returned to cap the Nor*Cal Posse Shootout presented by Berco Redwood. Caeden Steele began the evening by earning fast time with a lap of 10.714. The High Sierra West Coast Wingless Shootout main event saw a very popular winner in the form of Brent Steck, who battled to the lead on lap six and withstood a late challenge by Shawn Jones. Dylan Newberry jumped out front early and paced the opening laps until Steck was able to slice his way past. The bottom side was the preferred groove for the wingless warriors however, Shawn Jones gave it a try upstairs. Picking off cars one by one the San Jose driver carved his way into second with six laps remaining and then took his shot on a restart. Jones blasted to the high side to grab the top-spot and lead lap 22. Jones then caught the cushion just hard enough though to turn the car sideways and send him over the banking for a yellow. Steck then led the final few circuits to grab the triumph over Newberry, Saturday winner Shane Hopkins, Anthony Bruno and Heath Holdsclaw. Twenty-one Wingless Sprints returned on Sunday with Newberry setting fast time to begin the program. Placerville Speedway now gears up for the penultimate championship point race of the season this Saturday September 7th. Anrak Night at the Races will feature the Thompson's Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Cars, the USAC Western States Midgets, BCRA Lightning Sprints and the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks.
