  Andy Forsberg surges to 78th career Placerville Speedway Sprint Car win

  Placerville, CA…Auburn veteran Andy Forsberg battled his way to the front at the halfway point and drove off to record his 78th career Placerville Speedway Sprint Car victory on Saturday night. Sharing victory lane at the Gold Strike Calamity presented by Solace Enterprises were Wayne Trimble with the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks, Preston Norbury with the BCRA/WMR Midget Super Series and Matt Land with the BCRA Lightning Sprints. The 30-lap Thompson's Family of Dealerships feature saw Tucson, Arizona driver Nick Parker charge to the lead in impressive fashion. Sacramento's Michael Sellers gave chase over the early stages of the contest as Parker set an ultra-fast pace up front. After dropping to fourth on lap five, Andy Forsberg then found his footing and began to pick off cars during his march to the top spot. From lap 12 to lap 15 he was able to get by Jake Morgan, Sellers and Parker while storming to the lead. Parker did keep him honest for a bit, but after that, Forsberg was too strong and motored off to claim his second consecutive triumph with the Thompson's Dealerships Sprint Cars. Parker crossed the stripe in second to snag his career best Placerville Speedway finish. Placerville's Shane Hopkins made several impressive moves to carve his way from 10th to third in the main event. Morgan and ADCO Driveline fast qualifier Justyn Cox completed the top five. The top 10 was rounded out by Sellers, 20th starter Bubba Decaires, 17th starter Dawson Hammes, Cole Croft and Caleb Debem. A total of 29 cars competed at the event on Saturday. The Red Hawk Resort + Casino Pure Stocks put on a thrilling main event once again, with Wayne Trimble and Nick Baldwin racing inches from each other for much of the contest. The stat sheet may show that Trimble led all 25 laps, however, he felt intense pressure from Baldwin, who was in search of Placerville Speedway win number 41. Baldwin hounded his rear bumper and tried desperately to find a way by. Trimble was not to be denied on this night though and flashed to his second career Pure Stock victory. He was followed across the line by Baldwin, Kevin Jinkerson, Jason Ramos and Tyler Lightfoot. Chino Valley, Arizona racer Preston Norbury tallied his initial Placerville Speedway win during the BCRA/WMR Midget Super Series portion of the program. Former Winged 360 track champion Michael Faccinto took the lead at the wave of the green flag. Norbury began to apply the heat quickly, as the duo ran close together for numerous circuits. Things got a little too close for comfort on lap 11 though and resulted in Faccinto being parked the wrong direction in turns three and four. After that Norbury had his way with things up front and withstood a closing Dane Culver to bring home the gold. Culver, Caden Sarale, Faccinto and Logan Mitchell completed the top five. Faccinto was fun to watch during his charge back through the field. Elk Grove's Matt Land led all 15 laps in the BCRA Lightning Sprint finale to secure his first Placerville Speedway victory in several years. Completing the top five were Bradley Schmidt, Kennedy Ramirez, Justin Norton and Kindal Barstow. Placerville Speedway returns to action on Saturday April 25th with the annual Tribute to Donnie Tilford.

  Dyland Bloomfield surges to Tribute to Al Hinds victory

  Placerville, CA…Oakley's Dylan Bloomfield got by Justyn Cox with nine laps remaining in the feature to record his first career Tribute to Al Hinds triumph on Saturday night at Placerville Speedway. Fellow winners on opening night were defending champion Rod Oliver with the Kings Meats Ltd. Late Models, Tyler Lightfoot with the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks and Greg Dennett with the BCRA Lightning Sprints presented by Quick Change Liquid Energy. The victory for Bloomfield marked his second career win at Placerville Speedway after bringing home the Winged Sprint Car portion of the Triple Crown last season. The 30-lap Thompson's Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Car main event began with Clarksburg's Justyn Cox jumping into the lead. The 2023 SCCT champion looked strong early and kept the field at bay as drivers fought it out behind him. A well-prepared surface made for some fast and furious racing at the Tribute to Al Hinds. A pair of cautions kept drivers out of traffic, but when they did reach it, things began to heat up. Dylan Bloomfield made an excellent move to grab the top spot on lap 21 and withstood multiple restarts to take the Ed Entz checkered flag for his initial Tribute to Al Hinds victory. Cox put together a solid opening night to come home second, followed by Sacramento's Austin Wood, Redding's Max Mittry and Roseville's Colby Copeland. Rounding out the top 10 in the feature were Chance Grasty, Andy Forsberg, Seth Standley, Jake Morgan and John Clarke. Bloomfield began the evening by blistering the quarter mile in 10.499 seconds to earn the ADCO Driveline and Custom Exhaust Fast Time Award in the 23-car field. With the Kings Meats Ltd. Late Models, it was Chris Mcginnis who rocketed out to the lead and would go on to dominate the early stages of the main event. Defending Ltd. Late Model champion Rod Oliver sliced his way into second on lap eight and began to give chase after the leader. Oliver hounded the rear of Mcginnis for several circuits, before carving his way past on lap 17. Oliver went to on cross under the checkered flag ahead of Paul Gugliomoni, Mcginnis, Richard Brace Jr. and Anthony Slaney. Placerville's Tyler Lightfoot blasted out to the lead the 25-lap Red Hawk Casino Pure Stock finale as he looked for his second career win in the division. Seven-time track champion Nick Baldwin moved to second on lap 11 and then moved in on the leader. Baldwin gave Lightfoot everything he could handle right down to the checkered flag. Lightfoot drove a magnificent race though and brought home the win ahead of Baldwin, Kevin Jinkerosn, Wayne Trimble and Kenny Bernstein. The traveling BCRA Lightning Sprints put on a fantastic show at the Tribute to Al Hinds. Their 20-lap main event was a lightning-fast affair that saw the legendary Scott Kinney lead the initial eight circuits. BCRA President and defending champion Greg Dennett then blasted to the top spot on lap nine and led the remaining distance for another triumph in Old Hangtown. Dakota Albright, Matt Land, Bradley Schmidt and Justin Norton rounded out the top five. Placerville Speedway returns to action on Saturday March 28th with the Sluice Box Bonanza featuring Winged 360 Sprint Cars, Pure Stocks, Mini Trucks and the Joe Hunt Magnetos Wingless Sprints.

  Tribute to Al Hinds christens new Placerville season on Saturday

  Placerville, CA…Placerville Speedway is prepared to open its 61st season of competition this Saturday by honoring a man that had a key role in making it all possible, with the 23rd annual "Tribute to Al Hinds" tackling the red clay. Divisions set to christen the Berco Building Materials/ Hoosier Tires championship season on March 21st will include the Thompson's Family of Dealerships Winged Sprint Cars, Pure Stocks, Ltd. Late Models and the Bay Cities Racing Association Lightning Sprints. The Thompson's Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Cars will offer $2,500-to-win/ $250-to-start the feature on Saturday. Live music and Coors Light/ Coors Banquet Happy Hour takes place from 4-6pm, while magician/ juggler Cody Ebert will be on hand to entertain the masses from 4:30-6pm. The Tribute to Al Hinds began in 2004 following the passing of early track promoter and mentor, Al Hinds, a longtime Placerville resident and true race fan that touched the lives of many. Hinds was the second promoter of Placerville Speedway. He took operation of the track with business partner Richard Hirst from its founder, Bruno Romani, in 1968, three years after it first opened when the facility was built around an existing community football field. The operator of a local machine shop by trade, Hinds loved the community where he lived. In his final years of life, he enjoyed sitting with some of his best friends every night in the grandstands at Placerville Speedway and loved watching young talent make a name for themselves in the sport. The inaugural Tribute to Al Hinds was captured by Roger Crockett, while last season saw Andy Forsberg snag his fourth triumph in the event. Track champions last season with the Thompson's Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Cars, Pure Stocks and Ltd. Late Models included Modesto's Tony Gomes, Oakley's Nick Baldwin and Yuba City's Rod Oliver respectively. Livermore's Greg Dennett claimed the BCRA Lightning Sprint title with six victories last season. The division will be on hand several times once again this year. Tickets and Details: Grandstand seating during the Tribute to Al Hinds will be General Admission on Saturday March 21st, except for the reserved seats allocated to season ticket holders that are marked.
