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. Baldwin is fresh off his sixth triumph of the season at the most recent race and looks to add the Carnett to his fantastic campaign thus far. The Kings Meats Ltd. Late Models continue to be led by Yuba City's Rod Oliver. The defending track champion has one win and top five efforts at each race. 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. The Camino driver has put together a strong year with three wins overall. With four races left in the Thompson's Family of Dealerships Winged Sprint Car season it is Justyn Cox who sits atop the standings. The 2023 SCCT champion holds a 29-point lead over Andy Forsberg heading into the Carnett Clash on Saturday.

  Jake Morgan claims first Placerville Speedway Winged Sprint Car victory with final corner pass

  Placerville, CA…After 15-years of trying, Elk Grove's Jake Morgan finally claimed his first career Placerville Speedway Winged 360 Sprint Car triumph, utilizing a final corner pass to capture John Padjen Kids Bike Night on Saturday. Fellow winners during the night included Nick Baldwin with the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks, Mike Miller with the Mountain Democrat Mini Trucks and Greg Dennett with the BCRA Lightning Sprints. The 30-lap Thompson's Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Car feature showcased some of the best racing seen all year long. A well-prepared track allowed drivers in all classes the opportunity to race on every square inch of the bullring. Justyn Cox jumped out front and was stalked by Shane Hopkins over the early stages. Several drivers battled it out with the initial 24 laps clicking off in fast and furious fashion. Lapped traffic kept the front runners on their toes and fans on the edge of their seats. Jake Morgan moved to second on lap seven and then began to stalk the leader. With Cox and Morgan navigating their way through traffic, the battle for fourth on back remained a hectic one. With 24-laps complete a caution flag waved to allow everyone to catch their breath. The slowdown erased a sizable lead that Cox had developed and during the restart Morgan stayed right there with him. Coming to the white flag he closed on the leader and heading into the final set of corners, Morgan made his move. Entering turn three Morgan charged to the inside of Cox and fended him off down to the Ed Entz checkered flag, claiming the thrilling victory. Morgan, who began his Sprint Car career in 2011, joins his father Gary on the all-time Placerville Speedway Winged 360 Sprint Car win list, who claimed a total of four wins in his career. Cox came home in second to continue his ultra consistent season and with Andy Forsberg having issues during the feature, became the new Placerville Speedway point leader. Sacramento's Michael Sellers put together one of the finest nights of his Sprint Car career to round out the podium. Hopkins and 14-year-old Cole Croft completed the top five. Filling out the top 10 were Dawson Hammes, Adrianna DeMartini, Seth Standley, Jake Haulot and Bobby Butler. The Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks once again provided excitement during their 25-lap finale. Oakley's Nick Baldwin ultimately scored his 43rd career Placerville Speedway win, which ranks number two all-time in the division. Auburn's Wayne Trimble would lead several laps in the feature as he continued his exceptional campaign. Baldwin grabbed the lead on lap 15 but then had to contend with a very fast Ryan Peter. The pair put on an exciting and close race over the closing stages. Peter looked to possibly have an opening down low on the final corners but raced the leader as clean as could be. Baldwin crossed the checkered flag to get the win over Peter, Kevin Jinkerson, Tyler Lightfoot and Brian Lewis. Multi time Mountain Democrat Mini Truck champion Mike Miller dominated the 25-lap feature to score another win on the red clay over Brian Tremblay, Paizlee Miller, Howard Miller and Austin Struthers. BCRA President and champion Greg Dennett picked up the win with the Wingless Lightning Sprints on Saturday. He was followed across the checkered flag by Matt Land, Dakota Albright, Bradley Schmidt and Justin Norton. Placerville Speedway returns to action with the Prospector's Pursuit this coming Saturday June 13th.

  John Padjen Kids Bike Night next up this Saturday

  Placerville, CA…The El Dorado County Fairgrounds based Placerville Speedway is excited to host John Padjen "Kids Bike Night" presented by the Pizza Factory this Saturday June 6th. All kids 11 and under receive free admission in the stands at the gate. As is tradition, children in attendance are invited to race their bikes on the track following heat race competition. Those competing in the races must wear a helmet and be wearing closed-toed shoes. If you're looking for a delicious pre-race meal, make sure to stop by the Pizza Factory of Placerville, Pleasant Valley, Pollock Pines, Cameron Park, Auburn, Colfax, Rocklin or Ione to support this Saturday's presenting sponsor. Outstanding and piping hot pizza, lasagna, freshly made salads and much more are offered at the Pizza Factory. This Saturday is also our way to remember former track Promoter John Padjen, who passed away in December of 2021. It was Padjen's idea that brought about Kids Bike Night, which continues to be a mainstay at Placerville Speedway. "John always had Kids Bike Night at West Capital Raceway, so he decided to bring that over to Placerville and Chico when he started running both venues," said past Placerville Speedway Promoter Alan Padjen. "The bike nights have always been a hit with the families. It's great that Placerville Speedway continues that tradition and it's a perfect event to remember my dad at." In the early 1980's, John Padjen came aboard Placerville Speedway to help rescue the community icon that was beginning to struggle in the way of management efforts. Already a successful motorsports promoter in Sacramento, Dixon and Chico, Padjen moved in and helped mold the foothill race facility into the successful, competitive track it is today. Padjen established a consistent Saturday night program to improve safety and visibility for both drivers and fans. Tackling the high banked quarter mile this Saturday will be the Thompson's Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Cars, the Red Hawk Resort + Casino Pure Stocks, the Mountain Democrat Mini Trucks and BCRA Wingless Lightning Sprints. Tickets and Details: Grandstand seating during John Padjen Kinds Bike Night will be General Admission this Saturday June 6th, apart from the reserved seats allocated to season ticket holders that are marked. Adult tickets cost just $18, while seniors 62+, military and juniors 12-17 will be $16. Kids 11 and under are free at the gate.
