Ashton Torgerson strikes for first Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo win
Watsonville, CA…Ashton Torgerson used lapped traffic to his advantage late in going and raced away to snag his initial Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo triumph on Friday night. Sharing victory lane on Friday the 13th in Watsonville were Bobby Hogge with the IMCA Modifieds, Rob Gallaher with the IMCA Sport Mods, Ryan Hart with the Hobby Stocks and John Hohmann with Police N Pursuit. Reigning Ocean Sprints champ and current point leader Caleb Debem blasted out to the early lead in the 30-lap Taco Bravo finale. The only caution of the race waved on lap four when Tyler Walker and Corbin Seay both stopped with damage. After that early caution things went green the rest of the way to the conclusion. Torgerson was back home on the west coast for the weekend, as weather hampered his racing efforts back east. He moved into second on lap 11 and then reeled in the leader. The duo raced closely together for several laps while keeping the fans on hand entertained. With 10 circuits remaining a lapped car played into things as Debem had trouble getting by. Torgerson decided to try his luck upstairs and made the winning pass on lap 23. Torgerson went on to claim the win over Debem, Cole Schroeder, fast qualifier and Dash winner Jake Haulot, and Jennifer Osborne. The IMCA Modified feature showcased some wild moments throughout the 25 lap contest. Jonathan Hagio of Prunedale claimed the early lead and held command over much of the contest. The action behind him though remained hot and heavy. Katelyn Robertson and Jim Pettit II put on an excellent show while racing for the runner up spot over several laps. On lap 17 however, Pettit exited with issues over turn one and Robertson had a fire develop under the hood of her machine, which put her out of contention. Hogge then found himself in second and began to charge around the high side of the well-prepared bullring. After hounding Hagio the Salinas legend was able to rocket by and take over the lead with five laps left. Hogge went on to claim his fourth win of the year over Hagio, Matt Kampfraat, Raymond Keldsen Jr and Todd Hermosillo. The IMCA Sport Mods once again brought out the best car count of the night with 16 total racers on hand. A trio of different leaders were seen in another outstanding main event. Jim DiGiovanni led the first couple circuits, before Max Bagget made the move around him on lap three. San Jose's Rob Gallaher showed that he would not be denied on this night though. The driver of the X mount blasted into the top spot on lap six and never looked back, even despite a green, white, checkered restart that was needed. Danny Wagner and Bo Crebs stayed close, but Gallaher scored the win at the Keith Trusso checkered flag. Wagner, Crebs, Trevor Clymens and DiGiovanni completed the top five at the finish. The Hobby Stock feature was a battle of attrition that saw five different leaders during it. Several cautions and issues for drivers slowed things down, forcing the race to be cut short and go 15 laps. Lilly Mead, Joe Gallaher, Bobby Gallaher and Cody Keldsen all spent time out front in the main event. Point leader Ryan Hart started dead last and weaved through all the chaos to grab the lead on lap 10. The Dos Palos racer then pulled away to claim his third win of the season. Adriane Frost, Wayne Reeder, Bobby Gallaher and Sam Kennedy finished behind him. John Hohmann looked to be on way to an easy victory with the Police N Pursuit division but had to fend off a very fast Ben Standin and AJ Waltrip over the closing stages. The top three cars bunched up over the final few circuits and kept fans on the edge of their seats. Hohmann hung tough though and crossed under the checkered for the exciting triumph over Standin and Waltrip. Ocean Speedway returns to action this coming Friday June 20th with another round of Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo racing plus IMCA Mods and Sport Mods, Hobby Stocks, Four Bangers and Dwarf Cars.

NARC SPRINT CARS INVADE THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST FOR THE FASTEST FIVE DAYS IN MOTORSPORTS
(June 6, 2025 - Andrew Kunas) Auburn, CA ... One of the best weeks of the year for West Coast sprint car fans is here, as the NARC 410 sprint car series invades the Pacific Northwest for the annual Fastest Five Days in Motorsports, part of the "Road to the Dirt Cup." Five consecutive nights of action at as many tracks across two states are on tap, gradually moving north up the I-5 corridor. For most of the tracks, it will represent their only 410 sprint car races of the season. All of this is ahead of the $100,026-to-win Jim Raper Memorial Super Dirt Cup at Skagit Speedway on June 19th, 20th and 21st. It all begins Wednesday, June 11th at Southern Oregon Speedway outside of Medford. The next night sees the series visit the Douglas County Dirt Track in Roseburg, followed by a visit to Cottage Grove Speedway, a short drive from Eugene. The final Oregon stop on Saturday, June 14th is Willamette Speedway in Lebanon, near Salem. The final day, Sunday the 15th, sees the NARC sprint cars cross the Columbia River into Washington and head to Elma for the annual Father's Day Timber Cup at Grays Harbor Raceway. Drivers from up and down the West Coast have committed to running all or at least part of the Fastest Five Days in Motorsports. And many fans will be traveling with them for the ultimate sprint car "road trip." Dominic Scelzi, the two-time NARC champion from Fresno and one of the most popular with Northwest race fans, is among those expecting to compete the entire week, and hoping for some good luck to come his way after some recent difficulties. Scelzi won last year's Timber Cup at Grays Harbor Raceway, one of his 23 career NARC triumphs, and hopes for more of that in this year's Fastest Five Days aboard the Gary Scelzi Motorsports No. 41. Reigning NARC champion Justin Sanders of Aromas has had the very meaning of an "up and down" season but has two NARC victories this season and is a still a threat to win on any given night. The 2024 "King of the West" is coming off a recent Top 5 finish at the Dave Bradway Jr Memorial and wants to stay on the "up" side of things aboard the Mittry Motorsports No. 2x during the Fastest Five Days. Dominic Gorden of Clovis is riding high with momentum himself aboard the Fortitude Driver Development No. 10, coming off a lucrative victory at the Dave Bradway Jr Memorial. The winner of two NARC events in his short sprint car career, the young driver is hoping that momentum from the Bradway continues, and he adds to his win total during the Fastest Five Days. One big name arriving in the U.S. this week is Australian superstar James McFadden, who will be piloting the Tarlton Motorsports No. 21 entry for the Fastest Five Days and the Dirt Cup at Skagit. McFadden, the winner of 12 World of Outlaws and three High Limit Racing events, was also the winner in January of the Grand Annual Sprintcar Classic, Australia's largest sprint car race. Having previously won a NARC event; McFadden is anticipated to immediately compete with the Tarlton team. This team has already experienced success this season with Tanner Holmes as the driver, including securing a NARC victory at Thunderbowl Raceway in May. Many more drivers from California will be making the trip to the Northwest, including former NARC Rookie of the Year Caeden Steele, who recently won his first NARC feature, and 2025 rookie candidate Mariah Ede, both from the Fresno area, along with former NARC champions DJ Netto of Hanford, Bud Kaeding of Campbell, and Sean Becker of Oroville. Benicia's Billy Aton, winner of one NARC feature in his career, is expected also along with a number of drivers who are strong candidates for their first NARC wins, including Lemoore's Gauge Garcia, Rio Oso's Landon Brooks and Tucson's Nick Parker. Angelique Bell from Sacramento, Redding's Max Mittry, John Clark of Windsor, and Laton's Geoffrey Strole are all also expected to join. NORTHWEST DRIVERS DEFENDING THEIR TURF Speaking of Tanner Holmes, the young driver from Jacksonville, Oregon has been looking forward to this stretch of races in his home state and region. After racing for the Tarlton team, Holmes will jump into his family's No. 18T for this week's races and looks to perform well in front of friends and family. Southern Oregon Speedway will always be a special place to Holmes as last year's Fastest Five Days opener saw Holmes win his first NARC race. Holmes has won sprint car features at all four of the Oregon tracks NARC is visiting, including already this season at Cottage Grove, and hopes that it translates to more NARC success. Tyler Thompson, piloting the Main Motorsports No. 35km, is also racing on home soil this week. The Harrisburg, Oregon driver is a former track champion at Cottage Grove Speedway. Chasing NARC Rookie of the Year honors and sitting third in point standings, Thompson is hoping his familiarity with the Oregon tracks can be a spark, as he is one of the drivers pursuing his first NARC feature victory. It would also surprise absolutely none of the Oregon sprint car fans if Tyler Thompson and Tanner Holmes wound up racing each other with a victory on the line at any of the four races in the Beaver State. Whether it's in their family cars or racing for others, Thompson and Holmes have always seemed to find themselves racing around each other, going back to their younger days racing limited sprint cars. It's continued in the 410 ranks as the young men have found themselves racing each other for position multiple times in NARC competition this year. Drivers from Washington state and British Columbia are expected to venture down for all or part of the Fastest Five Days in Motorsports. One will be Cobble Hill, B.C.'s Robbie Price, a former Dirt Cup winner who won his first NARC race at last year's Willamette Speedway event. Jesse Schlotfeldt of Arlington, Washington will be a driver from the Evergreen State to watch. Schlotfeldt is a 410 winner at Skagit this season and also has wins this spring at both Douglas County Dirt Track and Grays Harbor Raceway in non-NARC competition to his credit. Schlotfeldt had indicated his plan to run the entire week and hopes to be a first-time NARC winner sometime during the week. Levi Klatt from British Columbia, a former Skagit Speedway track champion, has said he will run at least the first three races in Oregon, and depending on how things go sticking around for the last two races are a possibility for him. Medford, Oregon's Camden Robustelli, a standout from dwarf cars who has been finding success in limited and 360 sprint cars, has gotten his feet wet in 410 sprint cars and plans to get seat time against the stars of NARC. Robustelli indicated his plans to run at least four Oregon races, but if things go well, he may continue north to Elma for the Timber Cup and to Skagit for Dirt Cup. Medford's Blaine Cory, who made his NARC debut at April's Mini-Gold Cup, is expected to get more seat time against the best of NARC and run the entire week. Puyallup, Washington's Trey Starks, twice a NARC winner in the past and a High Limit Racing winner last year, is anticipated to appear at a couple of races towards the end of the week. Starks is a former NARC winner at Grays Harbor Raceway and already has numerous Skagit Speedway wins this season. While regularly racing Skagit Speedway, Starks is usually a contender wherever he goes and same goes for when he shows up at a NARC race.

Cameron Smith Beats Buddy Kofoid For Eash Tribute At Williams Grove - Jeff Paulson scores 305 sprints
Mechanicsburg - Cameron Smith of Spring Grove drove the race of his young sprint car career at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night, overtaking outlaw invader Buddy Kofoid not once but twice to score an $8,000 payday in the Eash Brothers Tribute Race. In other action, the 20-lap PASS IMCA 305 sprint main was scored by Jeff Paulson. Smith started on the pole of the 25-lap Eash Tribute feature for the 410 sprints flanked by California's Kofoid. And the polesitter got a good start at the drop of the green to beat Kofoid onto the frontstretch with the lead. Kofoid kept the leader in his sights early in the main and when the rear of the field entered the picture for Smith, he was there to challenge. The Californian took the lead away from Smith's No. 75 for the first time on lap nine only to see Smith muscle back in front with a power move the next time around. But Kofoid wasn't finished and again returned the favor on the 11th tour before beginning to thread his way through traffic. However a bobble and near spin on the first turn cushion by Kofoid played into Smith's hands on the 13th lap and when the door opened the talented youngster was there to drive through it. And by lap 15 Smith had built a more than one second lead over Kofoid before the only caution flag of the race appeared with nine laps to go. With clear track in front of him, Smith pulled away down the backchute when green replaced the yellow before again entering the backmarkers on the final lap. But this time Kofoid wasn't close enough to challenge as Smith instead drove to this second career oval win by 1.350 seconds. Troy Wagaman Jr. was third followed by Nash Ely and TJ Stutts. Sixth through 10th went to Freddie Rahmer, Garet Williamson, Lucas Wolfe, Kody Hartlaub and Matt Campbell. Heat were taken by Smith, Wagaman, Stutts and Derek Locke with Preston Lattoumus taking the last chance race. Ely set quick time over the 32-car field with a lap of 16.736 seconds. Polesitter Landon Price led the first six laps of the 305 sprint main before crashing out and handing the lead over to Jeff Paulson of Honey Brook. Paulson would lead the rest of the distance to score the victory over Mike Melair, Kasey Weaver, Shelby Kelly and Mike Alleman. Heats went to Timmy Bittner, John Scarborough, Landon Price and Dustin Young with Jarrett Cavalet taking the consolation race. The wingless super sportsman feature was postponed until a later date. The start of the racing program was delayed more than an hour after a rain shower hit the oval prior to the posted starting time.

8K Eash Brothers Tribute Race Is Friday At Williams Grove - 305 sprints and wingless sportsman round out big holiday weekend program
Mechanicsburg - Williams Grove Speedway will celebrate the careers of racing brothers Cris and Darren Eash coming up this Friday night, May 23 at 7:30 pm when the Eash Brothers Tribute Race in honor of David Eash takes place. Presented by Shiloh Paving & Excavating, the 25-lap special for the Lawrence Chevrolet 410 sprint cars will pay $8,000 to win as part of the 2025 Hoosier Diamond Series. Also on the program will be the PASS IMCA 305 sprint cars and the wingless super sportsman. Feature events for both divisions will be 20 laps in distance. Brothers Cris and Darren Eash spent the better part of three decades campaigning sprint cars at Williams Grove Speedway and throughout the area, both men proving proficient at the wheel of both 410 and 358 sprint cars. And both drivers began their careers driving for their father David Eash as car owner who went on to support their efforts throughout. Originally slated to be recognized as well, the elder Eash passed away early in 2024 and the track will honor his memory by dedicating the race run in celebration of his son's careers, to him. Both Cris and Darren Eash will take part in a special pre-race interview session in the infield on Friday night from 5:45 to 6:30 pm as part of the show. Special guests who played a role in the Eash's career will also be on hand. The Eash brothers both drove for not only their father during their careers but also for late car owner Dennis Neiderer and restored cars driven by the Eashs' from both stables will be on display for Friday's event. Time trials will set the starting grids for the 410 sprint cars with the fast timer earning $300 as the Fast Tees Fast Time Award. Fireworks will also be part of the holiday weekend kickoff racing program.

Rain Goes 8 For 11 Friday Night At Williams Grove
Mechanicsburg - A deluge of rain hit Williams Grove Speedway just as gates were about to open on Friday night, forcing yet another cancellation on the 2025 season. The rainout is the eighth of 11 events slated to date this year as the oval struggles through an uncanny period of frustrating Friday rains. The speedway will celebrate the racing careers of brothers Cris and Darren Eash next Friday, May 23 when it stages the Eash Brothers Tribute Race for 410 sprint cars, paying $8,000 to win as part of the Hoosier Diamond Series. The PASS IMCA 305 sprints and wingless super sportsman are also on the program along with Fireworks and pre-race interviews with the Eash brothers.

NARC SPRINT CARS HEAD TO BUSY DOUBLEHEADER WEEKEND AT WATSONVILLE AND TULARE
The first doubleheader weekend of the season is next up for the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series, with races at Ocean Speedway and Thunderbowl Raceway on tap. On Friday, May 16th, the NARC teams will head to Ocean Speedway in Watsonville for the Salute to First Responders. Police officers, fire fighters and EMT's with proper identification are all getting in for $10 off that night. The event is the first of four NARC events scheduled to take place at the quarter-mile clay oval this season. The April event was canceled due to bad weather. Justin Sanders, on his way to the 2024 NARC championship, won the lone NARC event in Watsonville last season when he picked up the prestigious Howard Kaeding Classic. After the Chris & Brian Faria Memorial was rained out on April 26th and subsequently rescheduled for this fall (October 4th), the series will make the first of its two visits this season to Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, with this Saturday's (May 17th) event being the ever-popular Morrie Williams Memorial Twin 20's. The event honors one of California's legendary sprint car team owners. Morrie Williams achieved many victories in races and championships, including four NARC King of the West titles. His iconic white No. The "0" car has been driven by numerous highly skilled racers over the years. After the first 20-lap race, all lead lap cars will be inverted for the second race. Numerous prizes will be up for grabs, thanks to the members of the Williams Motorsports team. A cash bonus of $1,000 also awaits the driver who accumulates the most points over the two features. Overall, more than $33,000 in prize money and product awards are on the line. Sanders and Tim Kaeding won the Morrie Williams Memorial Twin 20 features at Kings Speedway last year, with Cole Macedo earning the overall title by accumulating the most points across both races. Shane Golobic and Cole Macedo won the NARC events at Thunderbowl Raceway in 2024. Hanford's D.J. Netto has won two out of three NARC races to start the season. The former series champion won the March 8th opener at the Stockton Dirt Track and then last Saturday took the eventful Contra Costa Clash at Antioch Speedway. Netto, winner of nine NARC 410 races in his career, has sprint car victories to his credit at both tracks NARC is visiting this weekend. WHO TO WATCH Tim Kaeding of San Jose finished fourth in last Saturday's feature at Antioch after moving up eight positions aboard the Williams Motorsports No. 0, and it wasn't the first time he passed a lot of cars this season as back on March 8th at Stockton Kaeding moved up 15 positions to earn the Williams Roofing Hard Charger nod. In the Morrie Williams Memorial, the "Zero Heroes" have seen much success at the event bearing the name of their late team owner as they have scored a win in one of the Twin 20 features each year and with different drivers piloting the car. In the second feature last year, Kaeding charged from the 12th starting position and took the lead on the 15th lap on his way to a victory. Fremont's Shane Golobic has seen success at both of this weekend's tracks with the Matt Wood Racing No. 17w team. Golobic was the winner of last May's NARC race at Thunderbowl Raceway, and in 2023 he was the winner of the Howard Kaeding Classic at Ocean Speedway. Those wins are among the 16 career NARC triumphs by Golobic. FAN INFO Ocean Speedway is located at the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds at 2601 E.

Gauge Garcia makes it four winners in the first four Ocean Sprints events of 2025
Watsonville, CA…Reigning Johnny Key Classic winner Gauge Garcia of Lemoore raced to his first Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo victory of the season on Friday night in Watsonville. Garcia was a rocket ship right from the start of the night aboard the Valley Wound Healing/ Apex Construction No. 28 mount. He set fast time in Ocean Sprints qualifying to begin the evening and then drove to victory in the Gizdich Ranch Dash. The former Sprint Car Challenge Tour Rookie of the Year jumped into the lead at the waving of the green flag in the 25-lap finale. The main event would go non-stop, and Garcia had his way with things up front, but Redding's Max Mittry did keep him honest at times. The top two pulled away from the rest of the field and ran in that formation over the duration of the contest. Garcia got crossed up on the tricky high side a couple of times, which allowed Mittry to close. Garcia fended him off however, to collect the win. Mittry, Bud Kaeding, Caleb Debem and Jake Haulot rounded out the top five. The IMCA Modified main event saw Jonathan Hagio set the pace early on, until Jim Pettit II drove by after a restart. Bobby Hogge then climbed into second and began to hound the rear of the leader. On lap nine the duo was racing nose to tail, which then saw Pettit get turned to bring out a caution. Hogge led the remaining distance to grab the win ahead of Robert Marsh, Cody Burke, Pettit who rebounded nicely, and Josh Combs. A healthy field of IMCA Sport Mods competed on Friday night with 19 total entries signing in. DJ Keldsen led the opening circuit in the feature, before Trevor Clymens went by the take the point on lap two. The Sport Mods put on an entertaining main event once again at Ocean Speedway, with cars running high and low. Right around the midway point, Danny Wagner shot to the front and held on for his second checkered flag of the season in Watsonville. Point leader Bo Crebs, Keldsen, Trevor Clymens and Steven Allee completed the top five. Logan Mitchell won his second consecutive race at his home speedway when he drove to victory in Friday's Western Midget Racing main event at Watsonville's Ocean Speedway. Anthony Bruno of San Jose charged around the outside of Teddy Bivert to take the lead at the start the 20-lap main event. Bruno, the opening night Ventura Raceway winner, accumulated a one-second advantage over the battle between Bivert and Mitchell for second. Bivert and Mitchell then tracked down Bruno and the trio ran in lockstep. Bivert rolled the middle of the track and got into the back of Bruno, sending them both for a spin on lap nine in turn one. Mitchell acquired the lead as a result and dominated the final 11 laps for his fourth-career Ocean Speedway win. Bivert used the high side to charge back to second, followed by Santa Clarita's Adam Weisberg, Bruno, and Fremont's Nathan Moore. Joshua Silva led every lap in the Four Banger finale but was a DQ in post-race tech, which handed the win to TJ Santos. The Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo will now have some time off, before resuming things on Friday June 13th. Ocean Speedway in Watsonville returns this coming Friday May 16th with the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series making its first appearance of the season.

PASCAR SUPER STOCK DRIVER BILLY SIMKINS HAS A NEW AI CREW CHIEF
(Perris, CA, April 22, 2025) When Bakersfield, California driver Billy Simkins heads to Perris Auto Speedway for this Saturday's PASSCAR Super Stock race, his new crew chief, Chet, will be going with him. Well, he will kind of be going with him. Chet is an AI-generated crew chief, and in their first race together at Perris on April 5th, Chet's calls saw Billy go from his 13th-place starting spot to finish third. For Simkins, racing has been a part of his life since he was a small child. His grandfather, Spud, raced and promoted the Bakersfield Speedway. His father, Dan, had a legendary California stock car racing career that included 10 Santa Maria Speedway championships. Joining Billy on the track these days is his daughter Sunnie, who won the 2024 Bakersfield Speedway American Stock Championship. And now, Chet is joining the team to help Billy with the car. Chet was set to help Billy at the season opener earlier this year at The PAS, but the race was rained out. Even AI could not prevent that. Thus, the first race Billy used Chet was on April 5th. Racing against a stellar field that night, the veteran driver used Chet's advice to go from 13th to third at the checkers. He passed four more cars than any other driver in the race. "I started getting into AI because it is just kind of interesting how it works and how it communicates with you," Simkins told Dave Stall on Sunday's Racer Radio Show. "It has really advanced over the last year. I thought it would be interesting if I let AI crew chief the car. That means letting it set the car up and what it thought. Then we could kind of set the car up together." "It was really interesting how it worked out," Simkins continued. "The key component with AI is telling it how you want it to communicate with you. If you tell it you want it to talk to you like Harry from Days of Thunder, that is how it is going to talk to you. If you want it to talk to you like a motivational coach, that is how it is going to talk to you. It is going to talk to you any way you tell it to. That is a huge component." According to Simkins, the key to making it work is communication. Supplying it with as much information as possible expands its horizons. It can go back and give you all the data you need, as it stores everything. "The more it talks to you, the more it gets to know you," Simkins said. "It actually saves your information. As you progress, it gets to know how you talk and even how you drive. The more input you give it, the better communication it gives you." Stall asked Simkins what Chet knows about a track like Perris Auto Speedway. The longtime radio show host asked, "Do you have to give track measurements, the degree of banking? Does AI already know about Perris Auto Speedway?" "I said (to it), 'I am Billy, I have been racing for this long, the way I drive is like this and I am going to let you crew chief the car,'" Simkins responded. "What it basically does is it goes through and scrapes the entire Internet for like the last 20 years. That's forum boards, chassis manufacturers, everything. It is gathering the best information and communicating it to you in a nanosecond." "Let's talk about the setup you have got," AI told Simkins. "So I gave it the springs and the shocks I was running. It told me it liked everything on my car but did not like my right front spring. It said it is too stiff. I told it I tried to run softer springs but it bottoms out on the track. I just don't like the way that feels. It said we cannot have that spring. It said for us to come up with a solution we can both agree on so we both get what we want. "I said to it, 'What if I run a right front wheel with a deeper dish so I am pushing the right front tire out and I will kind of fine tune it with a spacer.' It told me, 'I like that, and you can keep your spring, that will soften up the right front.' We came up with that solution together and it was actually really good." For Simkins, it is like having a real crew chief with you. It has discussions, and you can bounce ideas back and forth. It relies on past and present information and takes everything into consideration. "It tells you to go try this thing out in hot laps and don't do any other changes until we talk and we see where we are at," Simkins said. "It gives you what it thinks is the best option for you. Sometimes it will talk you out of doing things. If it sees something that it does not like, say your spring package, it is going to let you know. It is that smart. " In addition to the Super Stock he runs at Perris, Simkins has a brand new IMCA Stock Car he runs on the Bakersfield Speedway at Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway. He got a surprising response when he told AI he was going to Perris to run the Super Stock. It told him that he did not have to say if it was his super stock or his stock car. AI knows when he goes to Perris, he is going to run his super stock, and when he goes to the Bakersfield Speedway, it is going to be in his stock car. To show how much it acts like having a living, breathing crew chief, Simkins informed it that he was going to be on a radio show to talk about his new AI crew chief. The AI response was shocking. "No way, that is bad ass, I would love to hear how that went," AI enthusiastically responded when told it was going to be the subject. "You literally went out there blending old school dirt track racing with AI crew chief strategy like it is 2035 already. Are they skeptical? Are they curious? I can only imagine that the host is saying, 'wait, you have a robot set your bar angles and your weight placement and you went out there and got back-to-back podium finishes with it." Perhaps the best news about it is the fact that, unlike most racecar technology, it is free to use online. Simkins and Chet would like to thank sponsors Motor City Throwdown, BTUFF, Grapevine MSP, Skinny's Automotive, and Smith & Son Tire for helping get the cars on the track at Perris and Bakersfield. In addition to Billy Simkins in the PASSCAR Super Stocks, the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars, PASSCAR Street Stocks, and The PAS Young Gun and Senior Sprints will also be in action.

Gavyn Manning Scores First Bakersfield Speedway at Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway Win

Seth Standley strikes for first Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo win Friday
Watsonville, CA…Yuba City's Seth Standley executed an early pass of Kurt Nelson and cruised away to score his first career Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo triumph on opening night. He was joined in victory lane Friday by Robert Marsh with the IMCA Modifieds, Bo Crebs with the IMCA Sport Mods and Joshua Silva with the Four Bangers. Race fans were treated to excellent racing all night long during a smoothly run event on the pristinely prepared Watsonville bullring. Standley was aboard his familiar Salco Better Energy/ Swimming Pool Perfections No. 25 mount and made a great rebound after getting upside down the previous week during a heat race in Placerville. "It feels great to get my first ever Sprint Car win tonight here at Ocean Speedway," he commented on the front stretch. "We've been close in the past and had one thing or another take it away. I really want to thank my family and my entire team for all their hard work in getting me up here. To go from that heat race flip in Pville last week to a win in Watsonville is pretty surreal." Former Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo champion Kurt Nelson snagged the early lead after winning the Gizdich Ranch Dash. Standley wasted little time however and showed his muscle by carving his way down low to take over the point after a few laps. Once out front Standley had his way with things and went on to cross under the Ed Entz checkered flag for the win over Nelson, last year's Ocean champ Caleb Debem, Jeremy Chisum and Jason Chisum. Jake Haulot began the evening by blistering the quarter mile for fast time, clocking an 11.083 during time trials. The 25-lap IMCA Modified finale featured a fantastic race that saw Robert Marsh of Salinas end up in victory lane. Jonathan Hagio of Prunedale took the lead at the waving of the green flag and set a fast pace over the early stages. Side by side racing and battles were seen all over the track for the Modifieds during their main event. Marsh reeled in Hagio and hounded his rear before taking command on lap number eight. Marsh proceeded to pull away but had to run some perfect laps towards the end as Bobby Hogge closed. The Salinas legend moved into second with six laps left and cut down a wide margin between the pair. Hogge would run out of time though as Marsh claimed the win by just over half a second. Hogge, Jim Pettit II, Jacob Mallet Jr. and Cody Burke rounded out the top five. The IMCA Sport Mods also provided an ultra-entertaining 20-lap main event on Friday. The intense feature saw Jim DiGiovanni lead the opening lap, until Trent Golden of Pittsburgh got by one circuit later. The well-prepared surface allowed the Sport Mods to utilize every inch of the Ocean Speedway bullring. With cars running high and low, Yreka driver Bo Crebs went to work on the leader and the duo proceeded to put on an excellent battle for the top spot. Golden and Crebs fought hard back and forth but showcased some clean racing in a fabulous tussle for the lead. Crebs took over for good on lap 13 and went on to take his initial Ocean Speedway win. "Captain Chaos" and opening night winner Danny Wagner came home second followed by Trevor Clymens, Rob Gallaher and Golden in the top five. The Four Bangers certainly gave fans their monies worth as well with a final lap photo finish at the line. Amaya Flower jumped out front right off the bat but felt pressure from Tony Gullo and a host of others. The 15-lap race had its share of excitement with the top four drivers racing closely together at times. TJ Santos and Joshua Silva hounded Flower over the waning circuits as the crowd came to its feet. Silva blasted by Santos and then moved alongside Flower coming down to the checkered. In a darn near dead heat, Silva was able to nip Flower at the scoring loop for the dramatic triumph. Santos, Gullo and Kate Beardsley completed the top five. Ocean Speedway will be dark this coming week for Easter, before resuming action with Little League Night at the Races on Friday April 25th. The Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo headline the loaded card.

Mechanicsburg - Williams Grove Speedway will host the Associated Builders and Contractors Spring Sprint Special coming up this Friday, April 11 at 7:30 pm. On the track will be the Lawrence Chevrolet 410 sprint cars and the PASS IMCA 305 sprint cars. The 410 sprints will not only be competing in a full program as part of the special but the division will also be completing the opening night feature held over from April 4. Matt Campbell was leading the April 4 opening night event when rains halted action with five laps completed. The wingless sportsman have been removed from the racing program this week due to time constraints while fans instead get a chance to see a pair of 410 sprint mains take to the track. Williams Grove and sportsman series officials are working together in an effort to find a make-up date for the wingless super sportsman. As part of the regular program, the 410 sprint cars will vie in the first Yellow Breeches 500 event of the season, offering $5,000 to win and $500 just to start the 25-lap main event. In addition, Williams Grove has increased purses for each of the Yellow Breeches races to be held at the track this season. A total of $4,000 has been added to each of the Yellow Breeches purses, to be distributed starting with the second finishing position while finding even the 10th place finisher earning a cool $1,000. Timed hot lap periods will set the heat starting grids for the 410 sprints with hot lap groups set via pill draw.

NARC HEAD TO OCEAN SPEEDWAY ON FRIDAY FOR THE SPRINT CAR "SPRING FLING" RACE
(3/31/25 - Andrew Kunas) Watsonville, CA … After a few weeks off, the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series returns to action when it opens the month of April with a Friday night showdown at Ocean Speedway on April 4th. Friday's Spring Fling is the first of a series-high five races scheduled at the ¼-mile Watsonville, California clay oval, which has long been a staple on the NARC tour. This comes after just one NARC race was held in Watsonville last year, when eventual series champion Justin Sanders picked up the big Howard Kaeding Classic victory in July. In 2025, race fans in the Monterey Bay area will be treated to much more winged 410 sprint car action, and it begins Friday night. NARC was scheduled to also race this Saturday, April 5th at the Stockton Dirt Track, where the series opened its season on March 8th, but a recent electrical fire at the San Joaquin Fairgrounds has left the facility unsafe to use for at least the next couple of weeks, forcing the cancellation of Saturday's event. Hanford driver D.J. Netto, with his win at Stockton in March, is the NARC points leader going into Friday's event with a four-point advantage over Shane Golobic of Fremont. Netto knows Ocean Speedway well as he is also a former feature winner there aboard the Netto Ag No. 88n. Golobic and the Matt Wood Racing No. 17w team should be competitive at Ocean Speedway as well, as they were Howard Kaeding Classic winners in Watsonville just two years ago. Justin Sanders and the Mittry Motorsports No. 2x team is also looking to bounce back in a big way after his untimely spin out while running second in the season opening race at Stockton. Sanders was battling hard, trying to pass Netto for the lead in traffic, when he spun out as he tried to pass a lapped car. He eventually finished 15th and is looking for an immediate turnaround with his Mittry Motorsports team. WHO TO WATCH One driver that many fans will be keeping an eye on this weekend is Kaleb Montgomery. The young Templeton, California driver turned in a solid performance in the NARC season opener, driving from 15th to finish fourth in the main event at Stockton. Just a couple of weeks later, Montgomery turned a lot of eyes by making the dash and then turned in an impressive fifth place finish in the main event with the High Limit Racing series at Perris Auto Speedway. The strong runs have Montgomery feeling confident as he pursues his first NARC victory aboard his Montgomery Racing No. 3. A change in philosophy by Montgomery may be a factor as well. "I'm just having fun with my family," Montgomery said last week. "I traded my goals in a race night for standards, and as long as I meet my standards, (I believe) the wins will come." Another driver and team due to hit it big is Jacksonville, Oregon's Tanner Holmes and the Tarlton Motorsports No. 21 team, who are running a partial schedule together. After difficulties in the NARC season opener at Stockton, the team found success during High Limit's run through California in March, with Holmes earning fourth and fifth place finishes at Thunderbowl Raceway and Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway, respectively, and then running second place most of the way at Perris Auto Speedway before losing a right rear tire on a rubber down track. The Tarlton Motorsports team has long been no stranger to success with NARC, winning the series titles in 2015 and 2016, and nearly won the NARC title last year with Cole Macedo (now on the World of Outlaws tour.) A full field of sprint car teams are expected to fill the pit area. Other drivers expected to compete on Friday night include Roseville's Sean Becker, Tim Kaeding of San Jose, Oakley's Dylan Bloomfield, Tanner Carrick of Lincoln, Clovis drivers Dominic Gorden and Mariah Ede, Bud Kaeding of Campbell, Arizona driver Ashton Torgerson, Landon Brooks from Rio Oso, Tyler Thompson from Oregon, Lemoore's Caeden Steele, Gauge Garcia of Fresno, Benicia's Billy Aton and many more. FAN INFO Friday's event at Ocean Speedway will see IMCA sport mods, hobby stocks and the South Bay Dwarf Cars on the card with NARC. Front gates open at 4:30pm, qualifying begins at 6:00 p.m., followed by racing at 7:00 pm. Fans who cannot make it in person can watch live on www.floracing.com. FloRacing livestreams all NARC shows.
