  SANDERS CLAIMS TRIBUTE TO GP AT STOCKTON; NETTO EARNS NARC CHAMPIONSHIP

  (11/1/25 - Andrew Kunas) Stockton, CA ... Justin Sanders dominated and D.J. Netto just did what he needed to do, and both wound up in Stockton Dirt Track's victory lane with big smiles as Sanders won another Tribute to Gary Patterson and D.J. Netto became "King of the West" as he clinched his second NARC championship. Sanders was dominant and led all 30 laps aboard the Yuba Sutter Aviation-sponsored Mittry Motorsports No. 2x Rider-powered KPC. Sanders outmuscled pole-sitter Tim Kaeding on the start, took off and never looked back. Sanders had one scare earlier in the race, as he was trying to clear slower cars. He made contact with one slower car who then tangled with another to bring out a caution, but Sanders escaped the melee and managed to continue with the lead. Despite breaking a right rear shock when that happened, he was never seriously challenged from there. Sanders, last year's NARC champion, elected not to chase points this year, but had a spectacular season when racing with NARC. Sanders's victory on Saturday was his series leading eighth triumph for him and the Mittry Motorsports team this season. He also continued his recent dominance of the Tribute to Gary Patterson as Saturday's win was his fourth in the last six years, and with those four wins he is now tied with Brent Kaeding and Steve Kent for the most all-time in the event. Sanders's win was lucrative also, as track promoter Tony Noceti just a short time before the feature declared that it would be $10,000 to win. "I actually really needed it. I just bought a house and I'm building a shop," Sanders quipped about the surprise added payout. "I think I broke a shock or something, and I was worried on restarts but I got around on the outside good. Another big win for this team, thanks to (car owner) Demo Mittry. Awesome to close out the season with another Gary Patterson win also." Shane Golobic finished second in the NOS Energy Drink-sponsored Matt Wood Racing No. 17w Kistler-powered KPC, racing with Tim Kaeding for the position throughout the event. Kaeding finished third in the Emadco Disposal-sponsored Williams Motorsports No. 0 Maxwill-powered Maxim to complete the podium. But D.J. Netto with his fourth place finish was the biggest winner of the night. Netto needed to finish 11th or better to clinch the championship regardless of whatever Sean Becker would do. Netto's Top 5 finish aboard the Sander Engineering-sponsored Netto Ag No. 88n Rider-powered KPC was more than enough while Becker finished ninth. Netto and team celebrated on the front stretch alongside Sanders and his team. "You just didn't want to make mistakes," Netto said about just wanting to stay out of trouble and finish well in the situation he was win. "Those yellow flags came out at the right time for me. Every time we got into the traffic, the yellow flag came out for us. I just rode this thing out, got 30 good laps." Netto had three wins on the season, though it wasn't without its trials. "It was a trying year for us. I think the first championship we won, it was a trying year also. This year we had a horrible speedweek (in June), but the guys at Netto Ag were behind me all year." Tanner Holmes finished fifth aboard the American Rock & Rent-sponsored Tarlton Motorsports No. 21 Kister-powered Maxim. Tanner Carrick, Dominic Scelzi, Cannon McIntosh, Becker and Billy Aton rounded out the Top 10. Bud Kaeding finished 11th and earned the Williams Roofing Hard Charger nod. Mariah Ede finished 15th and locked up NARC Rookie of the Year honors. Tim Kaeding won the Beacon Wealth Strategies Trophy Dash to secure the pole for the feature. Heat races earlier in the evening were won by Sanders, Netto and Aton. The final car out to qualify for the 2025 season, Golobic set quick time on his second lap around the ¼-mile clay oval, pacing the 22-car field with a lap of 11.182 seconds.

  SANDERS CLAIMS TRIBUTE TO GP AT STOCKTON; NETTO EARNS NARC CHAMPIONSHIP

  NARC CHAMPIONSHIP BATTLE CONCLUDES AT STOCKTON'S TRIBUTE TO GP

  (10/27/25 - Andrew Kunas) Stockton, CA ...A big night of racing awaits the NARC King of the West sprint car series, as the 2025 season concludes with the annual Tribute to Gary Patterson and a championship will be won Saturday night (November 1st) at the Stockton Dirt Track. Just 12 points separate a pair of former NARC champions at the top of the standings, with each man in pursuit of his second title. Hanford's D.J. Netto, the 2019 titlist, is ahead of Oroville's Sean Becker, who won his championship 20 years ago, going into what will be a hotly contested season finale. Netto has won three times this season and that includes the season opener at the Stockton Dirt Track in March when Netto won the Salute to Leroy Van Connett. He also won the last NARC event, held October 11th at Antioch Speedway. Netto and the Netto Ag No. 88n team will look for another strong performance at a track he has been successful at to wrap up a second NARC championship. Becker meanwhile is winless this season, but he has been competitive all season aboard the Don Bjork No. 7b and the "Shark" has led laps in multiple main events this year. If Becker wants to win his second championship though, he will likely need to get that first win on the season in the finale and pair that with a significantly subpar performance by Netto. With his three wins on the season, Netto owns the tiebreaker if the two drivers were to finish with identical point tallies. If Becker were to gain a point by setting fast time in qualifying and then win Saturday's Patterson Tribute, Netto would need to finish 10th place or better in the main event to clinch the title. Incidentally, neither Netto or Becker has won the race that honors the legendary Gary Patterson, at least in 410 sprint car competition, and both would love to add their name to the list of winners of the event to cap off the season. One of the all-time greats out of California, Patterson - or the "Preacher" as he was nicknamed - won races all over the West Coast and across the country, racing as a true outlaw for most of his career. Though he lost his life in a 1983 racing accident at Calistoga Speedway, Patterson's accomplishments behind the wheel of a sprint car landed him in the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame in 1998. The Tribute to Gary Patterson was first run in 1984, won by future Hall of Famer Chuck Gurney. The race had been held annually in Calistoga before moving to Stockton in recent years. The list of race winners is full of big names. Former "King of California" Steve Kent and Hall of Famer Brent Kaeding lead everyone with four wins each. Another Hall of Famer and NARC great Tim Green is a three-time winner of the event alongside Rico Abreau and Justin Sanders. Sanders won last year's Patterson Tribute to win the 2024 NARC championship in walk-off fashion after an intense points battle with Cole Macedo. Other Hall of Famers who have won the Patterson Tribute include Jimmy Sills (twice), Jeff Swindell and Paul McMahan. WHO ELSE TO WATCH Campbell's Bud Kaeding, another former NARC champion, is surprisingly one of the big names who has not won a Patterson main event, and this Saturday he will look to join his father Brent and brother Tim as a winner of the prestigious event. Kaeding, winner of the Johnny Key Classic at Ocean Speedway in August, sits third in the points going into the finale. Aromas's Justin Sanders, last year's "King of the West" who leads everyone with seven NARC victories this year aboard the Mittry Motorsports No. 2x, will look to cap off his season a win that would tie him with Brent Kaeding and Steve Kent for most Patterson wins. Fremont's Shane Golobic is still looking for his first NARC win this season but is twice a winner of the Patterson and would like to win his third on Saturday. This year's Dave Bradway Jr Memorial winner Dominic Gorden will be in attendance and is looking for a third career NARC win to cap off his season. Fresno's Mariah Ede is expected to race on Saturday and will wrap up NARC Rookie of the Year honors. Former NARC champion Dominic Scelzi of Fresno is expected, along with Templeton's Kaleb Montgomery, Lemoore's Gauge Garcia, Redding's Max Mittry, Windsor's John Clark, Gilroy's Jarrett Soares, and Benecia's Billy Aton. FAN INFO The Stockton Dirt Track is located at the San Joaquin County Fairgrounds at 1658 S Airport Way in Stockton. Saturday's event will see front gates open at 4:00 p.m. with opening ceremonies scheduled for 6:00p.m. with racing to follow. The NorCal Dwarf Cars and the BCRA/WMR midgets are also racing that night. Tickets are $30 for adults, $25 for juniors ages 12-17, $25 for seniors 65 and older, $25 for military, and kids 11 and under are in for $10. Saturday, from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., there will be a legends autograph session in the grandstands and fans can meet some of the greats of sprint car racing from around the region. There is a Friday night show also as part of this year's Tribute to Gary Patterson, with the 360 Sprint Car Challenge Tour in action, giving two nights of sprint car action for those arriving in Stockton a day early. Sunday will see the annual NARC season ending banquet at the Brookside Country Club, honoring the season champion and other top performers during the 2025 season, and other special awards will be presented as well. The Northern Auto Racing Club is the premier 410 winged sprint car series in the western United States. Since 1960, the traveling organization has thrilled fans at dirt tracks up and down the West Coast and crowned a "King of the West" champion.

  OCTOBER 25TH NARC SPRINT CAR SHOW AT BAKERSFIELD SPEEDWAY AT KERN RACEWAY CANCELLED

  (10/24/25) ... The Northern Auto Racing Club (NARC) and Bakersfield Speedway at Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway have cancelled the sprint car show scheduled for Saturday, October 25th, due to concerns about a low car count. However, the CARS Tour stock car event on the adjacent half-mile paved track will proceed as planned." Recent months have seen an intense schedule of sprint car racing events, which has strained the resources and equipment of several teams. As a result, many teams are unable to participate in this event. Historically, Kern Raceway has enjoyed strong participation, making this situation unusual. Jim Allen, General Manager of NARC, stated, "Race fans deserve to see more than a dozen cars, and unfortunately, we were unable to meet that expectation this time. We believe cancelling the event is in the best interest of everyone involved, and we apologize for any inconvenience. Kern Raceway remains a first-class racing facility, and we look forward to future events.'" Following this cancellation, only one race remains on the NARC schedule: the Tribute to Gary Patterson Championship Night, taking place on November 1st at Stockton Dirt Track.

The 15-year-old has been an exceptional qualifier this year and hopes to finish off the title in style with a win at the Stockton Dirt Track. Yuba City's Seth Standley, Montana driver Cole Schroeder, Redding's Max Mittry and Marysville's Dawson Hammes round out the top five in the standings. "We look forward to finishing off the Sprint Car Challenge Tour season on Halloween night at the Stockton Dirt Track," commented tour President Scott Russell. "Thank you to Tony Noceti and his team for allowing free admittance to kids 12 and under in costume. Hopefully everyone will come out and help us wrap up the SCCT season in style."

  Two Tracks, One Unique Night of Racing At Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway

  OCTOBER CLASSIC IS NEXT UP FOR THE NARC SPRINT CARS AT KERN RACEWAY

  (10/20/25 - Andrew Kunas) Bakersfield, CA ... The closing stretch of the 2025 NARC 410 Sprint Car Series campaign continues with the October Classic this Saturday (October 25th), as the series makes its only appearance of the season at the Bakersfield Speedway dirt track at Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway. The October Classic combo-show also features the CARS Tour and the "Harvick Showdown" with NASCAR champion Kevin Harvick and his son Keelan racing against each other in late models on the half-mile asphalt oval. The NARC show will follow that event on the neighboring dirt track, located just outside of turn four. Race fans can purchase a $30 ticket to get into both events. The pavement race starts at 6:00 p.m., the NARC show at approximately 7:30 p.m. NARC last visited the Kern Raceway dirt track this time last year, but since then the old Bakersfield Speedway in nearby Oildale closed and its operations transferred over to the dirt track at Kern. The dirt track facility now operates as Bakersfield Speedway at Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway. The facility has also undergone improvements since NARC's last visit, including additional seating. No matter the official name of the track, action will be hot on Saturday night with much at stake. Things remain tight at the top of the NARC standings with only two events remaining. D.J. Netto of Hanford picked up an enormous victory on October 11th at Antioch Speedway to increase his point lead over Oroville's Sean Becker, who finished fourth in that race. Just 12 points now separate the two former series champions. Netto has three NARC wins on the season, including winning both Antioch races. Becker is winless on the season but has been strongly consistent all season and more than once has knocked on the door of victory. Even with Netto winning in NARC's last outing, one misstep by Netto coupled with a strong outing by Becker - or even better, a win for him - could really shake things up for the November 1st finale at the Stockton Dirt Track. WHO TO WATCH In last year's October Classic at Kern Raceway, it was San Jose's Tim Kaeding picking up the victory. The veteran racer and former NARC champion led every lap, but had to withstand a number of race stoppages and challenges for the lead along the way. Kaeding, long one of the most popular and exciting racers out of California, will be one to watch again. Another Kaeding to watch will be Tim's brother Bud, who sits third in the NARC points. The Campbell driver won his 23rd NARC feature event of his career, winning the Johnny Key Classic at Ocean Speedway in August. Clovis driver Dominic Gorden ran a strong second in the race at Antioch and set fast time in qualifying earlier that evening. Having won the Dave Bradway Jr Memorial earlier this season and posting other podium finishes, Gorden is hoping to capture a second NARC victory on the season before the season is up. Having opened in 2015, the Kern Raceway dirt track has hosted numerous sprint car races and other open wheel events on its 1/3-mile clay oval. Shane Golobic was a NARC winner in 2022 and the following year it was Corey Day picking up a win there on his way to the 2023 NARC championship. Future NARC champion Justin Sanders picked up a win there in 2021. Mariah Ede is expected to race and will look to all but wrap up NARC Rookie of the Year honors. The young lady from Fresno has had her struggles during his first year in a 410 sprint car, but has shown speed at times also. Former NARC champion Dominic Scelzi of Fresno is expected, along with Oregon driver Tanner Holmes, Templeton's Kaleb Montgomery, Lemoore's Gauge Garcia, Redding's Max Mittry, Windsor's John Clark, Gilroy's Jarrett Soares, and Benicia's Billy Aton. FAN INFO The Bakersfield Speedway dirt track at Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway is located at 13500 Raceway Blvd, nearby the Interstate 5 / Hwy 43 interchange. The 1/3-mile clay oval sits just to the north of the half-mile asphalt track. WMR midgets and the SoCal dwarf cars will be joining NARC on Saturday. General admission is $30 for adults. Front gates at the dirt track open at 6:00 p.m. with racing scheduled for approximately 8:00 p.m. The Northern Auto Racing Club is the premier 410 winged sprint car series in the western United States.

  NETTO SCORES HUGE WIN AT ANTIOCH AND PADS NARC POINT LEAD!

  (10/11/25 - Andrew Kunas) Antioch, CA ... D.J. Netto had a big night in his quest for his second NARC sprint car championship when he took Saturday's feature at Antioch Speedway and added to his points lead, and also ended an extended winless streak in the process. Netto led all 30 laps for his ninth career NARC victory and was rarely challenged throughout. At one point Netto did get passed by Dominic Scelzi for the lead on an early restart that was called back for another car stopping. Netto took advantage of that break and mastered his remaining restarts, and there were several of them as there were four red flags for cars going upside down on a challenging night. Scelzi continued trying to go after Netto, but eventually suffered a mishap on another restart and flipped his car upside down. That handed the second position over to Dominic Gorden. Netto entered traffic in the closing laps as Gorden tried to close in along with Jesse Schlotfeldt but they eventually ran out of time before they could take any shot at Netto for the win. The win was Netto's third on the season aboard the Penny Newman Grain-sponsored Netto Ag No. 88n Rider-powered KPC, and it came five months after Netto's second win, which also came at Antioch Speedway in May. Happy to end the drought, Netto popped a wheelie on the front stretch and then climbed atop his car to celebrate with the fans. Netto increased his narrow lead to 12 points over Sean Becker, who finished fourth. Gorden, who set fast time in qualifying earlier in the evening, settled for second aboard the Silva's All Natural Beef-sponsored Fortitude Driver Development No. 10 Rider-powered Maxim. Schlotfeldt, visiting from Washington, earned the Williams Roofing Hard Charger nod, coming from 13th to get on the podium in his first visit to Antioch Speedway aboard the Grinder's Automotive & Marine-sponsored JRS Motorsports No. 21 Shark-powered Triple X. Becker maintained his second place points standing with his fourth place finish aboard the D&J Construction Rental Equipment-sponsored Bjork Construction No. 7b Shaver-powered Maxim. Max Mittry recovered from a mishap of his own on the initial start and came back to finish fifth aboard the Shasta Realty Group-sponsored Mittry Construction No. 19 Shark-powered KPC. Mittry changed the car number to 19 for the night to honor Chuck Wolf, who had recently passed away. Cannon McIntosh, Tim Kaeding, Dylan Bloomfield, Jake Andreotti and Billy Aton rounded out the Top 10. Heat races earlier in the evening were won by Mittry, Netto and Scelzi. Netto topped Scelzi in the Beacon Wealth Strategies - Raymond James Trophy Dash to secure the pole position for the main event. Gorden paced the 18-car field in Automotive Racing Products Qualifying with a time of 12.142 seconds around the 3/8-mile clay oval.

  ANTIOCH SPEEDWAY OPEN WHEEL OCTOBERFEST AWAITS NARC SPRINT CARS

  (10/7/25 - Andrew Kunas) Antioch, CA ... The closing stretch of the 2025 NARC King of the West sprint car season continues this Saturday (October 11th) with the tour's second visit of the year to Antioch Speedway for the Open Wheel Octoberfest. Things have tightened up in the point standings with just three races remaining. Former series champion D.J. Netto of Hanford continues to lead in pursuit of his second NARC championship but is now holding on by a thread. Falling back to finish ninth in last Saturday's event at Thunderbowl Raceway, combined with Oroville's Sean Becker rising late to finish second, resulted in Netto's lead over Becker shrinking to just seven points. Saturday's race ironically comes at the same track where the two battled for the lead in May's Contra Costa County Clash. Becker had taken the lead, but hard racing resulted in contact between the two and Becker crashed out, and Netto went on to win his second race of the season. That was also Netto's last victory this season. Becker is winless but has been competitive all season. With the two in a close points battle with just a few races remaining, so much is on the line Saturday. Campbell's Bud Kaeding, a winner in the Johnny Key Classic in August, continues to lurk in third place in the standings, sitting a mere 21 points out of the lead. A bad night for Netto and/or Becker could potentially put Kaeding in the thick of things as well. WHO TO WATCH Tim Kaeding and the Williams Motorsports No. 0 team is expected to run the remaining NARC races this season. One of the most exciting drivers to ever come out of California, the future Hall of Famer has one NARC win to his credit this season, coming in July at Petaluma Speedway. Kaeding struggled in qualifying last Saturday at Thunderbowl Raceway, but turned in a strong main event run, coming from 12th to finish fifth. Kaeding and the Zero Heroes will look to get back in the win column on Saturday. Fresno's Mariah Ede, in her first year racing 410 sprint cars, is now leading the NARC Rookie of the Year chase and is expected to race on Saturday. Joining her also is Fremont's Shane Golobic, who was the hard charger at Thunderbowl, and who won a BCRA midget race at Antioch in May and will look to pick up a sprint car win there on Saturday. Also expected to compete are reigning NARC champion Justin Sanders of Aromas, Lemoore's Gauge Garcia, Templeton's Kaleb Montgomery, Dominic Gorden of Clovis, Dylan Bloomfield of Oakley, and Max Mittry of Redding. Washington's Jesse Schlotfeldt will continue his fall swing of races in California and Oklahoma's Cannon McIntosh is expected to again pilot a Roth Motorsports entry. FAN INFO Antioch Speedway is located at the Contra Costa County Fairgrounds at 1201 W 10th Street. It's an all open wheel night as the NARC 410 sprint cars will be joined by the BCRA and USAC Western States midgets. General admission for adults is $35 with kids, seniors and military getting in for $25. Front gates open at 5:00 p.m. with hot laps scheduled for 5:30 p.m. with qualifying and racing to follow. After Saturday's race in Antioch, the next NARC event is October 25th at the dirt track at Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway in Bakersfield, and the season concludes with the Tribute to Gary Patterson on Saturday, November 1st at the Stockton Dirt Track. The Northern Auto Racing Club is the premier 410 winged sprint car series in the western United States. Since 1960, the traveling organization has thrilled fans at dirt tracks up and down the West Coast and crowned a "King of the West" champion.

  Tanner Holmes Returns to Tarlton Motorsports and Scores NARC Victory

  Saturday night, Tanner Homes returned to the seat of the Tarlton Motorsports No. 21 entry to kick off the second part of his 2025 schedule, and made some noise as he picked up his third win of the year with the team as he was victorious with NARC at the Thunderbowl in Tulare, CA.

  TANNER HOLMES IS THE NARC MAN OF THE HOUR AT TULARE

  (10/4/25 - Andrew Kunas) Tulare, CA ... Four months out of someone's car? No problem for Tanner Holmes and the Tarlton Motorsports sprint car team, who found themselves in NARC victory lane together for the second time this season when they took Saturday's Chris & Brian Faria Memorial at Thunderbowl Raceway. The young Oregon driver had not been in the American Rock & Rent-sponsored No. 21 Kistler-powered Maxim since June 7th but quickly got comfortable once he was back in the car on Saturday evening. Starting from the pole after a dash win, Holmes took the lead and from there was rarely challenged as he led all 30 laps and earned his third career NARC win. That initial start was called back after another car came to a stop but on the second start Holmes took off on an open track, but did find occasional difficulty in slower traffic. Washington visitor Jesse Schlotfeldt was in position once to take a shot at Holmes in the early laps, but couldn't make a move as he also struggled occasionally. After that, Schlotfeldt couldn't get back up to Holmes, whether in the open or in traffic, and eventually pulled off the track when his car had a driveline problem occur with just a few laps remaining. After struggling with the slower cars in the first half of the race, Holmes admitted he had to get himself straight during a caution with 14 laps completed. He found his groove in the latter half of the race, and with Schlotfeldt pulling off and the race staying green, Holmes cruised in the last few laps to pick up another win at the same track where he won the first of the Twin 20's at the Morrie Williams Memorial in May. For the Tarlton Motorsports team, it was their series leading eighth NARC win on the season, with two coming from Holmes and six from Australian star James McFadden during the summer when Holmes was in his family's car. "I took advantage of that yellow and almost had a chat with myself - and gather myself - and get a little more up on the wheel," Holmes said about the caution flag coming after he managed to stay in the lead despite struggling some. "I felt like I regrouped well and knew exactly what to do. Really cool to win first night back out (in the Tarlton car)." There may have been struggles early in the feature, but the win capped off what was nearly a perfect night for the No. 21. Holmes set fast time in qualifying and won the Beacon Wealth Strategies Dash to earn the pole for the main event. The only blemish was a fourth place finish in his heat race on a freshly reworked race track. Sean Becker, who started outside the front row, fell back to sixth at one point, but after strong restart and finding his groove, Becker drove back up to third place and then inherited second when Schlotfeldt dropped out. Becker had been passed by D.J. Netto, who he was chasing for the points lead, but passed him back and Netto eventually fell back to finish ninth while Becker finished runner-up in the D&J Construction Rental-sponsored Bjork Construction No. 7b Shaver-powered Maxim, and shaved Netto's lead to just seven points unofficially in the process. Justin Sanders ran in and battled for positions in the top five throughout the race and picked up the podium finish aboard the Yuba Sutter Aviation-sponsored Mittry Construction No. 2x Rider-powered KPC. Shane Golobic earned the Williams Roofing Hard Charger nod, coming from 14th to finish fourth aboard the NOS Energy-sponsored Matt Wood Racing No. 17w Kistler-powered KPC. In addition to the $150 bonus from Williams Roofing, Golobic gained another $150 from the Western Renegades Non-Wing Sprint Car Series. The 12th starting Tim Kaeding moved up to finish fifth in the Emadco Disposal-sponsored Williams Motorsports No. 0 Maxwill-powered Maxim. Cannon McIntosh, Bud Kaeding, Dominic Scelzi, Netto and Dominic Gorden rounded out the Top 10. Heat races earlier in the evening were won by Schlotfeldt, Gauge Garcia and Sanders before Holmes won the dash. Holmes paced the 19-car field in Automotive Racing Products Qualifying, touring the 1/3-mile, high-banked clay oval in 13.587 seconds to start the evening off.

  Thunderbowl Raceway hosts penultimate SCCT event this Saturday

  Tulare, CA…The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour is set to make its annual October trip to the Central Valley for this Saturday's "Chris & Brian Faria Memorial" at Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare. It marks the penultimate show of the SCCT campaign and is the final opportunity for drivers to get laps at the track prior to Trophy Cup 31 on October 16th-18th. Purse info and more on the lucrative event can be found via www.tularetrophycup.com The Faria Memorial this Saturday October 4th also features the NARC 410 Sprint Cars and has long been a cornerstone on the Stone Chevrolet Buick GMC Thunderbowl Raceway schedule over the years. Chris Faria was an up and coming driver who was the youngest of five children to Danny Sr. & Arlet Faria. He grew up on their farm in Tipton and was known as the prankster of the family. Chris unfortunately lost his life at the age of 21 during a farming accident and his memory has been kept alive with a memorial race at the Thunderbowl Raceway ever since. Brian was the oldest of the five Faria children and was taken from us in January of 2006 during an accident while driving on a highway. Brian enjoyed helping out with the track preparation at the Thunderbowl, as he drove the water truck and the grader among other things. "We look forward to hosting the Chris & Brian Faria Memorial on Saturday," track GM Josh Miller said. "It's always one of the big events at Thunderbowl Raceway and having both SCCT and NARC should make for a great night of racing. We hope everyone will come out on October 4th and then return for the Trophy Cup in a couple weeks." With two events remaining in the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour season, it continues to be Austin Wood sitting atop the standings. The 15-year-old from Sacramento hung tough to record an eight-place finish during the most recent race in Petaluma and looks for another consistent outing at Thunderbowl Raceway this weekend. Wood ran eighth at Tulare during a local event in May. Yuba City's Seth Standley finished right behind Wood in the main event at Petaluma Speedway and goes into Tulare 47-markers back of the lead. Standley will be searching for a strong night at the Thunderbowl to close the gap. Rounding out the top five going into the penultimate round of the campaign are Bozeman, Montana's Cole Schroeder, Redding's Max Mittry and Marysville's Dawson Hammes. Comprising the remainder of the top 10 are Brentwood's Adrianna Demartini, Santa Rosa's Tyler Cato, Elk Grove's Bubba Decaires, Marysville's Carson Hammes and El Cajon's Braden Chiaramonte. The SCCT stop at Thunderbowl Raceway last year was captured by Lincoln's Tanner Carrick over Central Valley racer Caeden Steele and San Jose's Tim Kaeding. Tickets and Details: Adult Grandstand tickets for the Faria Memorial/ Trophy Cup Tune-Up at Thunderbowl Raceway this Saturday October 4 cost $35, while Bleacher tickets are $30.

  NARC BEGINS HOME STRETCH WITH CHRIS & BRIAN FARIA MEMORIAL AT TULARE

  (9/30/25 - Andrew Kunas) Tulare, CA ... The closing stretch of the 2025 NARC King of the West sprint car season is upon us. The first of four races in five weeks is this Saturday as the NARC teams tackle the famous Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare for the Chris & Brian Faria Memorial. This action-packed racing card will also feature the Sprint Car Challenge Tour 360's. The race is one of the cornerstone events at the popular 1/3-mile clay oval. First contested in 2002, the event honors a pair of brothers from the Faria family, longtime participants in California racing. Chris Faria, who was an up and coming racer, passed away after a farming accident in 1993. His older brother Brian, who was active behind the scenes at Thunderbowl Raceway, tragically passed away in early 2006 in a traffic accident, and Brian's name was soon put alongside his brother's for this race. The 2025 race was originally scheduled for April 26th, but Mother Nature interfered and forced its postponement. NARC and Thunderbowl Raceway officials agreed to reschedule the event for October 4th to start a busy stretch to finish NARC's season. The event, held at one of California's most challenging dirt tracks, has long been looked forward to by NARC competitors and fans, and the list of past winners of the race reads like a who's who of west coast sprint car racing. Jason Meyers, a future World of Outlaws champion, won the inaugural event in 2002. National Sprint Car Hall of Famer Brent Kaeding won it twice in the latter years of his legendary career. A young kid named Kyle Larson, years before the NASCAR world got to know him, was the 2010 winner of the race. NARC champions such as D.J. Netto and Kyle Hirst are also past winners. Last year's event, ironically postponed by weather to a later date also, was won by Cole Macedo aboard the Tarlton Motorsports No. 21. WHO TO WATCH Speaking of NARC champions, former series champ D.J. Netto, who lives just down the road from Thunderbowl Raceway in Hanford, holds a slim 14-point lead over another former champion in Sean Becker of Oroville. Netto has two NARC wins to his credit this season, but hasn't won since May. Netto, however, has seen success in Tulare over the years, including winning the 2015 edition of the Faria. Netto hopes his past success at Thunderbowl Raceway will continue as he seeks his second NARC championship. After winning six NARC races during the summer with Australian ace James McFadden in cockpit, the Tarlton Motorsports team will welcome back Oregon's Tanner Holmes, who piloted the car back in the spring. Holmes was victorious in NARC competition with the Tarlton team in May when he took the first of the Twin 20's at the Morrie Williams Memorial in Tulare. After piloting his family's car during the summer, Holmes will rejoin the Tarlton's and is hoping for a repeat of May this Saturday. Between Holmes and McFadden, the seven NARC wins by the Tarlton Motorsports No. 21 team are tied for the most this season with the Mittry Motorsports No. 2x, all of theirs with Justin Sanders behind the wheel. The second of the Twin 20's in May was won by Caeden Steele, and it was the young Fresno-area driver's first NARC win. Steele is another driver hoping that past history will repeat itself on Saturday. Sean Becker, despite running second in points, is winless this season, but has been competitive all season and is coming off a podium run at the last NARC race at Placerville Speedway on September 6th. Another driver expected this Saturday include Campbell's Bud Kaeding, a winner in August at the Johnny Key Classic at Ocean Speedway.

  NARC SPRINT CAR SERIES ACQUIRED BY BRAD SWEET AND KEVIN RUDEEN

  (9/29/25) Sacramento, CA ... In a strategic move to ensure the continued legacy of the Northern Auto Racing Club (NARC) sprint cars on the West Coast, the sanctioning body announced today that it has been acquired by Brad Sweet and Kevin Rudeen effective the 2026 season. Founded by Louie Vermeil in 1960, the organization is currently owned, operated, and promoted by longtime business manager Jim Allen and perennial series champion and Hall of Famer Brent Kaeding. "Brent and I have been exploring potential succession plans for NARC over the past few years," said Allen. "Our primary criterion was to find a party deeply invested in our sport and committed to building on the club's history. We are confident that we have made the right decision with Brad Sweet and Kevin Rudeen. Their extensive experience and support of 410 sprint car racing are highly regarded." The transition process will be managed carefully to ensure a smooth handover. "Kevin and I are both really excited to continue our pursuit of helping and growing 410 sprint car racing on the West Coast," said Brad Sweet, a six-time national sprint car champion. "There is no better way to accomplish this than to build on the foundation of what Jim Allen, Brent Kaeding, and many others, have built over many years. NARC has been a staple on the West Coast for many years, and we hope to continue to create many more successful seasons for the race fans, teams, promoters, and racers." Brent Kaeding and Kaeding Performance Center will continue their involvement with NARC as the official parts vendor and as a heat race sponsor. Jim Allen will transition into a NARC historian role, focusing on accumulating missing information from the organization's early years. The Northern Auto Racing Club is the premier 410-winged sprint car series in the western United States. For over six decades, the traveling organization has thrilled fans at dirt tracks up and down the West Coast and crowned a "King of the West" champion.

  Brody Roa Ready for Saturday's So Cal Showdown at Perris Auto Speedway

  Cypress, CA - September 12, 2025 — Fresh off a season-best USAC/CRA fourth-place finish at Perris Auto Speedway on August 16, Southern California sprint car standout Brody Roa is set for battle in tomorrow night's So Cal Showdown. The popular Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars will share the stage with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Cars on the famous half-mile clay oval. Spectator gates open at 5:00 p.m., with racing at 7:00. The last time the Outlaws and USAC/CRA teams combined for a doubleheader at The PAS, Roa was actually on the other side of the fence—competing with the Outlaws in 2022. That season, he and his team put together a "fun-first" schedule, which included a handful of winged sprint car races. Roa's winged journey kicked off on February 26, 2022, with a King of Thunder event at Hanford, where he scored a solid ninth-place finish in the A-main. A month later, he faced the Outlaws for the first time at Bakersfield Speedway, finishing ninth in the B-main. The very next night, he rolled into Perris to take on the Outlaws again. After finishing ninth in his heat, Roa started seventh in the B-main, needing to crack the top six to transfer. With one of the largest crowds in track history cheering him on, he reeled in the final transfer spot, made the pass, and pulled away to secure his spot in the feature. "That was the year we kind of bounced around just having fun," Roa said of the 2022 campaign. "Experimenting with all the wing stuff and trying something new. I think there were like two cars that missed the main event. It was exciting, and I passed Noah Gas. We passed him for the last transfer. It was a tough race. It had him, Tanner Thorson, and I think Logan Schuchart was in the race. It was like a 7-car B main." Starting 24th in the main event, Roa passed several cars before disaster struck on lap 21 when a car got out of shape in front of him. With nowhere to go, Roa made contact, damaging the wings and flattening the left front tire. Per Outlaw rules, there is no extra time in the work area after lap 20, and with too much damage to repair in time, his night ended with a 24th-place finish. "Honestly, not much," Roa laughed when asked what his expectations were racing against the Outlaws. "We ran the two nights with Outlaws, and we ran a couple of nights at Hanford with NARC, I think. It was like let's show up and try something new with no expectations and have fun again. It was a little refresher from what we had always done, and it was a lot of fun trying something new and experimenting. It was doing some stuff that was outside of our comfort zone." That would turn out to be the Garden Grove, California driver's most recent winged race. A planned NARC start at Hanford in April of 2022 was canceled when dangerous winds forced the promoter to call off the show. Just like in 2022, Roa is racing mainly for fun this season, focusing on Perris but leaving the door open to future winged opportunities should the right ride come along. "At this point, I just like driving Sprint cars," Roa Stated. "You know non-wing stuff is my history and my passion. That wing stuff was super fun, and I would do it again. I don't think I was terrible in the wing car. I thought I was pretty comfortable. Just needed some experience." "I'm having fun taking this thing out to Perris every month," he assured. "Me, my dad, my uncle, family, and Joe (Joe Gibb). He's (Gibb) going to miss this weekend, and my dad is having a procedure tomorrow. He's not going to be able to help on Saturday, but he is going to be there to watch over things and see how it goes." "I've reached out to a half dozen people that I know who I would like to come out and help, and they're not available," Roa lamented. "So, if anybody wants the experience of working on a non-wing sprint car, we need a couple of hands on Saturday. We will be there either way. Tailor (his wife) and I have made plans, and we are going to take the car out. We are bringing our girls out (young daughters Addison and Rylee). It will be a family event." Fans can see Roa and all of the other stars in action this Saturday at Perris Auto Speedway. Spectator gates open at 5:00 p.m., with racing at 7:00. Advance tickets are available now at worldofoutlaws.com, and walk-up tickets will also be available at the track ticket window. Perris Auto Speedway is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds at 18700 Lake Perris Drive in the city of Perris. For more information, please visit perrisautospeedway.com or call (951) 940-0134. Roa would like to thank his 2025 sponsors, "Biker" Bruce Fischer, Burris Racing, ALR Virtual Services, Caltrol, Molecule, and Wilwood Disc Brakes.

  SANDERS WIN NARC THRILLER TO CLAIM PAY DIRT AT PLACERVILLE SPEEDWAY

  (9/6/25 - Andrew Kunas) Placerville, CA ... After leaving for a month to pursue other racing opportunities, Justin Sanders made his triumphant return to the NARC King of the West sprint car scene, as he fought his way through traffic and made a late winning pass to score a $5000 Pay Dirt Showdown victory Saturday at Placerville Speedway. Sanders started the 30-lap feature outside the second row and early on passed Dylan Bloomfield to move into the third position, before quickly going after pole sitter Justyn Cox for second. Making that move into the runner-up spot, Sanders then set his sights on race leader Sean Becker. Becker survived an assault by Cox in the opening two laps, withstanding slide job attempts and close quarters between cars on the ¼-mile bullring and then taking off from there with the lead. Becker, however, then was forced to contend with constant traffic on the small oval. That allowed Sanders to close in and challenge during the middle and latter parts of the race. Becker at times made key passes around slower cars to keep Sanders at bay. As the laps winded down, traffic thickened for Becker and left him struggling to find a path around as the race reached five laps to go. That's when Sanders finally pounced, getting a run around the bottom side of Turns 3 and 4 as Becker was held up by a pair of slower cars right in front of him. Sanders scooted by Becker as they exited the fourth turn to lead the 26th lap. Sanders led the final five laps to take his series leading seventh NARC win of the season aboard the Yuba Sutter Aviation-sponsored Mittry Motorsports No. 2x Fisher-powered KPC. Sanders knew Becker was second in NARC points entering the night and was competing for the championship. Because of that, Sanders said he wanted to pass Becker clean and waited for the opportunity to do so as they raced in traffic. "Sean was running a good race. He was switching up his lines and really making me think about what I had to do to get closer. I looked up on the board on Lap 23 and I was like 'I don't know if I'm going to get this' and then we got into traffic and I made it stick on the bottom," said Sanders, who again also praised the Mittry Motorsports team. "Awesome to be back in the 2x. Nice to be back home with these guys. Happy to get another 410 win." Bloomfield made the late pass around Becker in the closing laps to take the runner-up spot and finished there aboard the Gary Silva Ranches-sponsored Vertullo Racing No. 83v Kistler-powered Maxim. Saturday's race was Vertullo Racing's final NARC start before the team relocates to the Midwest after decades as one of the most recognizable cars in California. After leading 25 laps, Becker finished third aboard the D&J Construction Rental-sponsored Bjork Construction No. 7b Shaver-powered Maxim and shaved a few points off D.J. Netto's point lead. After starting on the pole, Cox eventually finished fourth aboard the BERCO Redwood-sponsored Bates Hamilton Racing No. 42x Kistler-powered Maxim. Gauge Garcia ran in the Top 5 throughout and finished fifth in the Monarch Ford-sponsored Keller Motorsports No. 2k Speedway-powered Triple X. Netto finished sixth to maintain his points lead. Chance Grasty, Jesse Schlotfeldt, Kaleb Montgomery and Bud Kaeding rounded out the Top 10. Montgomery earned the Williams Roofing Hard Charger nod, coming from 16th to finish ninth. Cox won the Beacon Wealth Strategies Trophy Dash to claim the pole position for the feature. Heat races earlier in the evening were won by Bloomfield, Netto and Cox. Grasty paced the 23-car field in Automotive Racing Products Qualifying with a time of 10.217 seconds around the ¼-mile bullring clay oval.

  McFADDEN TAKES NARC LOUIE VERMEIL CLASSIC OPENER AT CALISTOGA

  (8/30/25 - Andrew Kunas) Calistoga, CA ... Sometimes, a change of scenery will do you good. Just ask James McFadden. After a hard week elsewhere, McFadden and the Tarlton Motorsports team decided to change plans and hurried down to join NARC at the reopening Calistoga Speedway. The decision resulted in a $5,000 victory on the opening night of the Louie Vermeil Classic. McFadden led all 25 laps and picked up his fifth NARC victory of the season aboard the American Rock & Rent-sponsored Tarlton Motorsports No. 21 TRD-powered Maxim, and it was his sixth career triumph with the series. It wasn't always easy as Australian star was challenged for the lead at the midway point by Indiana visitor Spencer Bayston. After completing the 13th circuit, Bayston passed McFadden for the lead as they raced in traffic on the big half-mile. An untimely caution flag though negated Bayston's pass and put McFadden back out front. McFadden successfully fended off Bayston on a pair of restarts before Bayston then pulled off the track with mechanical issues. Shane Golobic later moved into second place but could not challenge McFadden. Pulling into the winner's circle in his first visit to the historic Calistoga Speedway, McFadden celebrated with his patented "shoey", taking a drink of beer from one of his racing shoes, the fifth time he'd done that this season in NARC competition. McFadden had won four of out five races in NARC's Fastest Five Days in Motorsports up in the Pacific Northwest in June before traveling out east with the team for the summer. After the tough Thursday and Friday night with High Limit Racing at Skagit Speedway up in Washington, the Tarlton Motorsports team was no doubt feeling much better with the bounce back NARC win Saturday night at Calistoga. After starting eighth and moving up six spots, Golobic finished runner-up aboard the NOS Energy-sponsored Matt Wood Racing No. 17w Kistler-powered KPC. NARC points leader D.J. Netto earned a podium finish aboard the Penny Newman Grain-sponsored Netto Ag No. 88n Rider-powered KPC. Outside pole sitter Sean Becker was fourth in the D&J Construction Rental-sponsored Bjork Construction No. 7b Shaver-powered Maxim and was followed by Colby Copeland in the Hansen Machine-sponsored Nick McColloch No. 17 Don Ott-powered Maxim. Rounding out the Top 10 were Tanner Carrick, Dominic Gorden, Bud Kaeding, Chance Grasty and Andy Forsberg. Forsberg earned the Williams Roofing Hard Charger nod, advancing eight positions from 18th to finish tenth. Heat races earlier in the evening were canceled due to concerns about time and track conditions, specifically regarding tire wear. NARC officials and drivers agreed to make the event show-up points only. The feature event was lined up by qualifying times with the top six subjected to an invert draw, which turned out to be a zero and put McFadden on the pole for the event, this coming after he paced the 19-car field in qualifying with a time of 18.027 seconds around the big half-mile clay oval. Hoosier Racing Tires Feature (25 laps): 1. 21 James McFadden (1), 2. 17w Shane Golobic (8), 3. 88n D.J.

  McFadden Wins Opening Night of the Louis Vermeil Classic

After a hard week elsewhere, McFadden and the Tarlton Motorsports team decided to change plans and hurried down to join NARC at the reopening Calistoga Speedway. The decision resulted in a $5,000 victory on the opening night of the Louie Vermeil Classic.

  CALISTOGA SPEEDWAY IS BACK IN ACTION WITH THE LOUIE VERMEIL CLASSIC

  (8/25/25 - Andrew Kunas) Calistoga, CA ... A big weekend awaits the NARC King of the West Sprint Car Series as it takes part in the triumphant reopening of Calistoga Speedway for the Louie Vermeil Classic this Saturday and Sunday (August 30th-31st). Fans will have the opportunity to witness the best of both worlds as the USAC/CRA non-wing 410 sprint cars share this open wheel racing program. The historic half-mile clay oval located in Napa County has not seen race cars on track since 2019. The Louie Vermeil Classic was first run in 2008. After the track shuttered and was left without a promoter during the COVID-19 plagued 2020 season, the event was moved to Silver Dollar Speedway for 2021 before going on hiatus. With Calistoga opening back up, the event has restarted and returns to its original home, which was always regarded as the home track of the Northern Auto Racing Club sprint cars. The event honors Louie Vermeil, a large figure in California sprint car racing who helped found the Northern Auto Racing Club in 1960 and saw the association through its early decades, serving as president from 1965 to 1985. Vermeil also fielded several cars during his time in racing, from the early "big cars" to sprint cars, with drivers including Johnny Anderson and Mike Andreetta piloting his cars. Vermeil, who passed away in 1987, was inducted into the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame in 1995 for his work in sprint car racing. The Louie Vermeil Classic started as a USAC/CRA non-wing event, and NARC joined in 2019 to give the fans both winged 410 and wingless 410 sprint cars to watch. That 2019 Louie Vermeil Classic, the last at Calistoga, saw Dominic Scelzi and Rico Abreu score victories on the big half-mile. The 2021 edition at Silver Dollar Speedway saw Scelzi and Justin Sanders win the two NARC features that weekend. More than $130,000 in prize money and awards are up for grabs at this exciting two-day show. Saturday's feature event winner will pocket a $5000 payday. Sunday's winners will walk away with $10,000. WHO TO WATCH Things remain tight at the top of the NARC point standings, with just 16 points separating points leader D.J. Netto of Hanford and fourth place Bud Kaeding of Campbell. Netto is just five points ahead of leading Rookie of the Year candidate Tyler Thompson of Harrisburg, Oregon, while third place Sean Becker of Oroville is just seven points back of Thompson. Netto, the 2019 NARC champion, won two of the first three NARC races in 2025, but has not won since May 10th at Antioch Speedway. Netto has his share of Top 5 finishes but also has some unfortunate DNF's to go with it, but remains atop the standings. Thompson is still looking for his first career NARC victory, but has been very consistent, usually finishing the Top 10 each night. Thompson, however, has just parted ways with the Main Motorsports team and is unsure what car he will be driving this weekend. Dominic Gorden of Clovis is also expected to compete. Gorden, twice a NARC winner, won this year's Dave Bradway Jr Memorial and would like to add a Louie Vermeil win to his resume. Lincoln's Tanner Carrick, who recently matched his career best NARC finish with a runner-up at Ocean Speedway on August 2nd, is also entered and looks to earn his first NARC win at one of the biggest events of the season. In addition to Becker and Bud Kaeding, other drivers expected include Fremont's Shane Golobic, Hollister's Ryan Bernal, Roseville's Colby Copeland, Fresno area drivers Caeden Steele and Mariah Ede, Benicia's Billy Aton, Oakley's Dylan Bloomfield, Auburn's Andy Forsberg, Gilroy's Jarrett Soares, Windsor's John Clark, Suisun City's Chance Grasty, and Rio Oso's Landon Brooks (Sunday only). NARC will have approximately 18 cars, with changes in travel plans for several teams. FAN INFO Calistoga Speedway is located at the Calistoga Fairgrounds at 1435 N Oak St. Seating will be limited due to high pre-race sales. Reserved seating is sold out for both nights, and some general admission tickets are available for Sunday. They can be purchased at www.racecalistoga.com. RV parking on site is also sold out. Parking is $10 (cash) each day. Fans are encouraged to get to the event early to allow time to park. The ticket booth opens at 1:00 p.m. The Berco Redwood Pavilion is open from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. for race fans. There will be special wine and beer tasting events (must be 21 years of age), along with food and great music. Hot laps are scheduled for 5:00 p.m., with qualifying at 5:30 for both classes. Opening ceremonies are scheduled at 6:10 with racing at 6:30 both nights. NARC will run a 25-lap feature each night. Fans unable to attend can watch live on FloRacing.

Grass Valley native and current Placerville resident Brad Sweet brings the point lead into the West Coast Swing. Sweet has a trio wins on the competitive Kubota High Limit Racing trail and sits atop the standings over Indianapolis, Indiana's Tyler Courtney; Clute, Texas' Aaron Reutzel; Knoxville Nationals runner up Rico Abreu and Myerstown, Pennsylvania's Brent Marks. With both Courtney and Reutzel sidelined due to unfortunate injuries, California favorites Giovanni Scelzi and Justin Sanders are set to pilot the NOS Energy Drink No. 7BC and RSR No. 87 respectively.

The two-time Gold Cup champ ran third at the event last year and is fresh off a sixth-place effort at the Knoxville Nationals. The ever-popular James McFadden was the man who captured the 49er Gold Rush Classic last season and returns on Saturday aboard the Tarlton & Son No. 21 mount. The Alice Springs, Northern Territory driver recently claimed glory at the Capitani Classic in Knoxville, Iowa. Additional drivers looking to punch their ticket to victory lane this Saturday will include past 49er Gold Rush Classic winner Shane Golobic of Fremont, along with Monrovia, Indiana's Justin Peck; Minden, Nevada's Tanner Thorson; Waco, Texas' Chase Randall; Auburn's Andy Forsberg; Bradway Memorial winner Dominic Gorden from Clovis; Suisun, City's Chance Grasty; Jacksonville, Oregon's Tanner Holmes; Templeton's Kaleb Montgomery; Fresno's Dominic Scelzi; Locust Grove, Oklahoma's Daison Pursley and more.

  BUD KAEDING ENDS NARC DROUGHT; WINS JOHNNY KEY CLASSIC AT WATSONVILLE

  (8/2/25 - Andrew Kunas) Watsonville, CA ... Bud Kaeding ended a long drought in a big way, capturing Saturday's Johnny Key Classic at Ocean Speedway and scoring his first NARC King of the West sprint car victory since 2019. Kaeding led the entire race but had to deal with slower traffic throughout the 30-lap event and held on to win aboard the Alviso Rock-sponsored BK Motorsports No. 29 Shaver-powered Maxim. It was Kaeding's second Johnny Key Classic win, the first coming back in 1996 at the old San Jose Speedway. Tanner Carrick, who started alongside Kaeding on the front row, took the lead on the initial start, but it was called back after a red flag for a crash on the back stretch. On the complete restart, Kaeding took advantage of the second chance and jetted out to the lead. Carrick, hunting for his first NARC victory, ran in second place throughout, and on a couple of instances got within striking distance of Kaeding as the former NARC champion struggled with a couple of slower cars late in the race. Kaeding held on and managed to make key passes around those cars in the closing laps to secure the win. Kaeding celebrated by doing donuts on the track in Turns 1 and 2, stalling his car out. Bud's father Brent Kaeding rode over to greet him on his bike and loaned it to Bud for him to ride out to the front stretch. He then went through the flag gate to go into the grandstands to greet the fans before finally going to the winner's circle for his interview. Bud joined dad Brent (two wins) and late grandfather Howard Kaeding (four wins), as multi-time winners of the Johnny Key Classic. Bud's brother Tim Kaeding is also a former winner. Bud talked about his family's history competing at the Johnny Key Classic and the fact it was so long in between Johnny Key wins for him. "I was 16, my first year. I thought it was the coolest thing ever (winning the Key). I got my crew chief from then. He's been helping me the last two years," Kaeding said. "My dad and my grandfather had won that race (before), and now my dad, my grandfather and my brother (Tim) have won. I can't believe it took me thirty years to do it again." Kaeding's victory was his first NARC King of the West win since August 2019 at the Stockton Dirt Track. After being run as a 360 sprint car event at Ocean Speedway the last several years, the event switched to a 410 event under NARC sanctioning for 2025. Carrick duplicated his best NARC finish of his career, taking second aboard the California Waterfowl-sponsored Carrick Racing No. 83t Rider-powered Maxim. After starting eighth, Sean Becker worked his way into the Top 5 and was in constant battles for position throughout the race and eventually took over third place. Though he closed in on Kaeding and Carrick in the closing laps, Becker settled for a podium aboard the D&J Construction Equipment Rental-sponsored Bjork Construction No. 7b Shaver-powered Maxim. Tyler Thompson had one of his best finishes of the season, finishing fourth in the HAM Construction-sponsored Main Motorsports No. 35km Kistler-powered Maxim. Gauge Garcia, who won last year's Johnny Key Classic as a 360 event, picked up a fifth place finish aboard the Monarch Ford-sponsored Keller Motorsports No. 2k Speedway-powered Triple X. Shane Golobic, NARC points leader D.J. Netto, Max Mittry, Kaleb Montgomery and Jake Andreotti rounded out the Top 10. Mittry earned the Williams Roofing Hard Charger Award, coming from 14th to finish eighth. Outside of qualifying, Bud Kaeding won each time he was on the track on Saturday. He won the Beacon Wealth Strategies - Raymond James Trophy Dash to secure the pole position for the feature and earlier won the evening's first heat race. Other heats were won by Thompson and Andreotti. Netto set fast time in Automotive Racing Products Qualifying with a time of 10.693 seconds around the ¼-mile clay oval. Racing was halted earlier in the evening when Nick Parker was involved in a crash during the warm up lap for the second heat race. Alert and talking with safety workers, Parker was transported to a local medical facility for observation.
