- SCCT heads for Mel & Marlyn Hall Memorial at Marysville Raceway Sunday
Marysville, CA…The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour is primed to embark upon a busy stretch that all gets underway this Sunday May 25th at Marysville Raceway's annual "Mel & Marlyn Hall Memorial." This Sunday's event on Memorial Day weekend marks the third race of the season for SCCT and its only appearance at Marysville Raceway this year. Racing was certainly a passion of the Hall family. They epitomized the great strengths of being at the forefront of the sport when it came to on-track racing and off-track promotions. Mel Hall believed in a united Sprint Car traveling organization and in the early 1990's was one of the founding fathers of the Civil War Series, which is fundamentally what the Sprint Car Challenge Tour continues in the Golden State. With their unmeasurable work ethic, the Halls were heavily involved in the now defunct Ernie Purcell Speedway in Grass Valley, before taking over operation of Twin Cities Speedway (now Marysville Raceway) in late 1994. Hall is credited with bringing professional Sprint Car racing to the Yuba-Sutter facility, which persists in this very day under the current management of Gage Promotions. The Hall's left their ego at the door and did the things needed for a successful series and management of Marysville Raceway. They never did this for fame and glory or pats on the back. They were simple people who had a vision and did the best they could to make it a reality. Mel passed away on May 22, 1999, and we lost Marlyn in August of 2020. Following Marysville, the SCCT 360s will contest the "Davy Thomas Memorial" just five days later in Placerville on Friday May 30th. "Wings Over Wine Country" then awaits the tour at Petaluma Speedway on Saturday June 14th, creating a stretch of three events in four weeks. The opening two rounds of the Sprint Car Challenge Tour campaign have been captured by Fremont's Shane Golobic and Fresno's Dominic Scelzi respectively. By way of a win and a runner up effort at the opener, Scelzi finds himself atop the standings going into Marysville Raceway on Sunday. The two-time NARC champion is coming off his 10th career SCCT triumph on April 19th in Merced and will be gunning for number 11 at the Hall Memorial. 2022 Mel & Marlyn Hall Memorial winner Tanner Carrick of Lincoln, Roseville's Jodie Robinson, Suisun City's Chance Grasty and Modesto's Tony Gomes fill out the top five in points heading into Sunday. Justin Sanders is the reigning winner of the Hall Memorial and hopes to rebound following a tough ending to the most recent SCCT event. The Aromas driver had charged from deep in the field, only to have contact send him upside down prior to the finish. Six-time Mel & Marlyn Hall Memorial victor Andy Forsberg will be another favorite come Sunday. The two-time Sprint Car Challenge Tour champion hopes to break a two-way tie with Colby Wiesz for the most wins in event history. Tickets and Details: Adult tickets at Marysville Raceway this Sunday May 25th cost $24; while juniors 12-15, seniors 62+ and military are $20; kids 6-11 cost $10 and those five and under will be free.

- HOLMES & STEELE SCORE MORRIE WILLIAMS NARC VICTORIES; KAEDING WINS OVERALL TITLE
(5/17/25 - Andrew Kunas) Tulare, CA ... Tanner Holmes and Caeden Steele were the big NARC sprint car winners at the Morrie Williams Memorial, each earning one of the twin 20-lap features Saturday at the Thunderbowl Raceway. For Holmes, it was his second career NARC victory, and Steele's win in the second feature was his first career triumph. Their victories came in the event honoring one of California's legendary and most popular car owners. And ironically it was Tim Kaeding who was the overall winner on points while driving the Williams Motorsports No. 0. Holmes ran third early in the first 20-lapper as reigning NARC champion Justin Sanders took the lead over Ryan Bernal at the start. Sanders led the first 11 circuits before Bernal challenged him on Lap 12. Bernal threw a slider in Turns 3 and 4, sliding up the track ahead of Sanders. Sanders turned his car back down to get inside of Bernal, but the two made contact entering the front stretch and caused significant damage to both cars. Both stopping on the track to bring out what would be the only caution between the twin 20-lappers, it handed the lead over to Holmes. Taking full advantage of that turn of events, Holmes motored away from the field and led the remaining nine laps to score the win aboard the American Rock & Rent-sponsored Tarlton Motorsports No. 21 Kistler-powered Maxim. Holmes won his first NARC feature race last June at Southern Oregon Speedway, driving his family's car. Having strong runs with the Tarlton team early this season, Saturday's win was one many felt was inevitable for Holmes. D.J. Netto, was unable to chase down Holmes late as they raced through traffic but still finished second in the Penny Newman Grain-sponsored Netto Ag No. 88N Rider-powered KPC. Kaeding finished third aboard the Emadco Disposal-sponsored Williams Motorsports No. 0 Maxwill-powered Maxim. Shane Golobic was fourth and Sean Becker finished fifth after starting eighth. Gauge Garcia came from 14th to finish sixth, earning the Williams Roofing Hard Charger nod. Landon Brooks, Joel Meyers Jr, Tyler Thompson and Chance Grasty rounded out the Top 10 in the first main event. The second feature saw a complete invert of the cars that finished on the lead lap. That resulted in Holmes slated to start 17th, and it put Steele on the front row. Steele took advantage and led all 20 laps of the caution-free affair. Steele was challenged early by Joey Ancona and then made his way through traffic late, holding off the hard charging Braden Chiaramonte at the end to pick up his first career NARC 410 sprint car win. Steele celebrated by doing some donuts in the Tarlton & Son-sponsored BCCR No. 121 Kistler-powered Maxim and coming to a stop in Turn 4. He then climbed out of his car and sprinted on foot most of the way down the front stretch to celebrate with the family and team. Braden Chiaramonte took runner-up in the second feature aboard the System 1-sponsored Tiner Hirst Enterprises No. 94th Moss-powered Eagle after starting fourth. Dominic Gorden finished third aboard the Silva's All Natural Beef-sponsored Fortitude Driver Development No. 10 Rider-powered Maxim. Joey Ancona, after running second early on, finished fourth. Bud Kaeding was fifth ahead of Dominic Scelzi and Kaleb Montgomery. Tim Kaeding, Grasty and Netto rounded out the Top 10. Tim Kaeding earned the hard charger nod in the second feature, coming from 15th to finish eighth. His point score of 11 (the total of his two finishing positions, third and eighth, respectively), bested the 12 by Netto and the 13 by Holmes - who finished 12th in the second feature after winning the first. That fittingly gave Kaeding the overall win in the Morrie Williams Memorial, much to the delight of the team and his fans, and he also earned a $1,000 bonus for his work. Kaeding was pushed back out onto the track following the second feature and he celebrated by performing his usual set of donuts. Heat races earlier in the evening were won by Sanders, Tim Kaeding, and Golobic. Tanner Holmes paced the 24-car field in Automotive Racing Products Qualifying with a time of 13.593 seconds around the 1/3-mile, high-banked clay oval.

- SANDERS BAGS NARC SPRINT CAR VICTORY AT OCEAN SPEEDWAY
(5/16/25 - Andrew Kunas) Watsonville, CA ... There's one word to describe Justin Sanders' 2025 season so far: Rollercoaster. Following a series of mishaps that somehow had a win mixed in over the prior two months, that rollercoaster ride for Sanders continued Friday when the reigning NARC 410 sprint car champion scored the win at Ocean Speedway. Sanders was challenged a couple of times but led the entire 30-lap distance and picked up his second win of the season, and the 24th NARC triumph of his career. The Aromas driver jetted off to the early lead at the start aboard the Yuba Sutter Aviation-sponsored Mittry Motorsports No. 2x Fisher-powered KPC but soon found himself in heavy traffic on the Watsonville bullring. Around ten laps in, Tyler Thompson closed in and threw a slider at Sanders, sliding up in front of him but couldn't hold it as Sanders turned his car back down and scooted back by Thompson to retain the lead. Thompson quickly tried another slider, but Sanders held his ground, and Thompson was soon under fire from Shane Golobic for the runner-up spot. Through a number of race stoppages and restarts, and dealing with slower traffic, Sanders maintained the lead the remaining distance, much to his relief. Friday's win for Sanders came six days after he had crashed out of last Saturday's race at Antioch Speedway when his throttle stuck and he struck the wall, all happening before the field even got to the parade lap. That followed a spectacular Mini-Gold Cup win a month earlier, which had followed him spinning out while racing for the lead at the NARC season opener. These have been his four nights out with NARC this season. After racing hard and trading multiple passes with Thompson, Golobic finally secured second place and finished there aboard the NOS Energy sponsored Matt Wood Racing No. 17w Kistler-powered KPC. Thompson, who is chasing NARC Rookie of the Year honors, suffered nose wing damage during the event but still managed to run in the podium positions throughout the event. After some difficulties last Saturday at Antioch, Thompson bounced back with a third-place finish aboard the HAM Construction sponsored Main Motorsports No. 35km Kistler-powered Maxim. Landon Brooks, a track record setter earlier in the evening, ran in the Top 10 throughout the race and finished fourth aboard the Lippert Construction sponsored Bates-Hamilton Racing No. 21L Kistler-powered Maxim. Tanner Holmes came from 14th to finish fifth aboard the American Rock & Rent sponsored Tarlton Motorsports No. 21 Kistler-powered Maxim. Former NARC champion Dominic Scelzi of Fresno, earned the Williams Roofing Hard Charger nod, charging 13 spots from the 19th starting position to finish sixth, this coming after changing engines following his heat race. Bud Kaeding, Gauge Garcia, Jake Andreotti, and D.J. Netto rounded out the Top 10. Heat races earlier in the evening were won by Thompson, Bud Kaeding and Golobic. The Automotive Racing Products Fast Qualifier was Landon Brooks, who paced the 22-car field with a new track record, circling the ¼-mile clay oval in 10.543. Hoosier Racing Tires Feature (30 laps): 1. 2x Justin Sanders (1), 2. 17w Shane Golobic (3), 3. 35km Tyler Thompson (2), 4. 21L Landon Brooks (4), 5. 21 Tanner Holmes (14), 6. 41 Dominic Scelzi (19), 7. 29 Bud Kaeding (5), 8. 2k Gauge Garcia (15), 9. 7p Jake Andreotti (17), 10. 88n D.J.

- JUSTIN SANDERS DOMINATES OCEAN NARC 410 ACTION FOR 24TH CAREER SERIES WIN
Aromas' Justin Sanders dominated the First Responders Night for the NARC 410 Sprint Cars on Friday night at Ocean Speedway, leading all 30-laps for his 24th career series win at his home track in Watsonville.
- 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. Lake Ave. Friday's event will also have IMCA modifieds and the South Bay Dwarf Cars on the schedule. All police, fire fighters and EMT's with proper identification will get $10 off their admission. Front gates open at 4:30 p.m. with qualifying at 6:00 p.m. and racing at 7:00 p.m. Thunderbowl Raceway is located at the Tulare County Fairgrounds on K Street.

- FORSBERG FLASHES TO PLACERVILLE SPEEDWAY VICTORY
Placerville, CA…Andy Forsberg and Chance Grasty entertained the Placerville Speedway faithful on Saturday night, which ultimately saw the 10-time track champion come out on top to earn another victory on the famed red clay. Along with Forsberg, also scoring wins on Anrak Night at the Races were Tyler Lightfoot with the Kings Meats Ltd. Late Models, Ryan Peter with the Red Hawk Resort + Casino Pure Stocks and Hunter Kinney with the BCRA Lightning Sprints. The 25-lap Thompson's Winged 360 Sprint Car feature began with young Austin Wood leading the opening lap, before Forsberg rocketed by to take over the top spot. Track conditions proved to be spot on for the main event, as cars raced high and low on the bullring. Wood attempted to keep pace with the leader but soon had to deal with ADCO Driveline Fast Qualifier Chance Grasty following a restart with 10 circuits complete. Grasty slipped to his inside and took over second on lap 11. At one point the top three began to bunch up ever so slightly, only to see a caution flag wave to create a single file restart. When getting back underway Grasty went to work on the leader and the duo proceeded to fight back and forth with the crowd coming to its feet. Grasty officially led lap 18, but Forsberg would slice back by leading the following circuit. The Auburn veteran hung tough and went on to take the Darin Stahl checkered flag for his 74th career Sprint Car triumph at Placerville. Grasty, Tony Gomes, Justyn Cox and 16th starting Colby Copeland completed the top five. Filling out the remainder of the top 10 were Shane Hopkins, Wood, Steven Kent, Austin Torgerson and Cole Schroeder. The Kings Meats Ltd. Late Models put on an intriguing, non-stop, 20 lap main event on Saturday evening. Placerville's Tyler Lightfoot moved out front early and held the field at bay for much of the contest. Reigning track champion Anthony Slaney was certainly the show in the feature as he blasted by cars on the high scary side. He took over third on lap seven and then second a few circuits later. Slaney quickly reeled in the leader and hounded his rear until hopping the cushion and then pulling off with four laps remaining. Lightfoot then had a large advantage and brought home his sixth career Placerville Speedway Late Model victory. Matt Davis, Rod Oliver, Matt Micheli and Shawn DeForest followed him across the line. The Red Hawk Resort + Casino Pure Stocks had another thrilling conclusion to their main event on Anrak Night. Colton Arbogast and Michael Murphy led the first couple laps until Rio Linda's Ryan Peter showed his muscle and grabbed the lead on lap three. Peter had captured the previous two events and was looking to make it three in a row at Placerville Speedway. Six-time track champion Nick Baldwin began making his way through the pack, taking over third just after the halfway point. With a few laps remaining Baldwin charged into second and began to come after the leader. Just like at the Tilford Tribute in April, it was Peter and Baldwin coming down to the wire. The pair battled for the win off the final corner, which saw Peter edge him by half a car length for the three-peat. Baldwin, Kevin Jinkerson, Michael Murphy and Tyler Lightfoot completed the top five. Citrus Heights driver Hunter Kinney survived numerous restarts to claim his second straight win at Placerville with the BCRA Lightning Sprints. Greg Dennett, Dakota Albright, Matt Land and Marshall Sexton were next in line. Placerville Speedway is dark the next two weeks before resuming things with a big double header on May 30th and 31st. The Friday portion will showcase the Sprint Car Challenge Tour contesting the Davy Thomas Memorial, while Saturday's finale is the annual Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial with the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series.

- NETTO WINS WILD NARC SPRINT CAR FEATURE AT ANTIOCH SPEEDWAY
(5/10/25 - Andrew Kunas) Antioch, CA .. When the dust settled on one of the more wild NARC 410 sprint car main events in recent memory, Hanford's D.J. Netto stood in the winner's circle at Antioch Speedway, taking the checkered flag in the Contra Costa County Clash for his second NARC triumph of the season. Bud Kaeding led the first 13 laps, fending off multiple Netto challenges for the top spot, but out of seemingly nowhere Sean Becker came with a strong run off the second turn on the 14th circuit, passing both Netto and Kaeding down the back stretch and around the top side in the third and fourth corners to take the lead. Becker led the next six laps, but on a restart with 19 laps completed Netto had a strong run and challenged Becker for the lead. Exiting turn four, Netto was outside of Becker when the two made contact, upsetting and damaging Becker's car enough that it then struck the outside wall down the front stretch. Dominic Gorden was unable to avoid, smashing into Becker's car and collecting Kaleb Montgomery, sending both cars flipping wildly. Luckily, nobody was seriously hurt in the incident. That left Netto out front. Both Bud Kaeding and Tim Kaeding tried to catch Netto, but wound up racing each other hard for second place. Benicia's Billy Aton went on a late tear to pass both Kaeding's for the runner-up spot in the closing laps. Despite the late surge, Aton was too far back and ran out of time at Netto drove to his second victory of the season, and his ninth career NARC triumph, in the Penny Newman Grain-sponsored Netto Ag No. 88n Rider-powered KPC. Netto, while happy to win the race, expressed regret over what happened to Becker and the other cars. "I was trying to be clean as I possibly could," Netto said after the race. "I guess my left rear caught his right front. You never want to win them that way. Sean races me clean. My apologies to him and that team. That's not the way I wanted to win that one." While disappointed over how the victory came, Netto still praised his team. "My guys gave me a great race car," Netto said. "I'm very grateful to do what I do. I can't ask for more." Aton settled for a season-best second place aboard the Legacy Glass-sponsored Aton Racing No. 26 Kistler-powered Triple X. "At the start of the race the car was just firing," Aton said of his car's ability to run anywhere on the track and pass cars. "After that restart (following the Becker crash), we were just dynamite." Bud Kaeding, the former series champion out of Campbell, finished third aboard the Alviso Rock sponsored BK Motorsports No. 29 Shaver-powered Maxim. "Overall, it was a good night. Was great to lead laps," Kaeding said after his best NARC finish of the season despite damaging his car when striking the wall on the last restart. "Good racing." Tim Kaeding, out of San Jose, finished fourth after starting 12th aboard the EMADCO Disposal-sponsored Williams Motorsports No. 0 Maxwill-powered Maxim. Jake Adreotti of Castro Valley finished aboard the Buchannan Auto Electric-sponsored Andreotti Racing No. 7p Rider-powered KPC. Gauge Garcia, Shane Golobic, Dominic Scelzi, Tyler Thompson, and Dylan Bloomfield rounded out the Top 10. Thompson earned the Williams Roofing Hard Charger nod, advancing nine positions from 18th to finish ninth. Thompson also set fast time in Automotive Racing Products qualifying with a lap of 12.219 seconds around the 3/8-mile clay oval. Heat races were won by Sanders, Montgomery and Bud Kaeding.

- 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. The evening of action is billed as "First Responders Night at the Races."

- ANTIOCH SPEEDWAY HOSTS THE NARC SPRINT CARS FOR THE CONTRA COSTA COUNTY CLASH
(5/5/25 -Andrew Kunas) Antioch, CA ... After some unscheduled time off thanks to Mother Nature, the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series gets back to action this Saturday, May 10th, with the Contra Costa County Clash at Antioch Speedway. Saturday's event is the first of two NARC events scheduled at the ¼-mile clay oval this year, the other being on October 11th. Saturday's show is one of the rare opportunities fans in Antioch have to watch the 900-plus horsepower winged sprint cars in action. Former series champion D.J. Netto, aboard the Netto Ag No. 88N, goes into the event with a five-point advantage over Templeton's Kaleb Montgomery. Netto won the NARC season opener March 8th at Stockton Dirt Track and backed that up with a fourth place run at the Mini-Gold Cup on April 12th at Silver Dollar Speedway. The energetic young Montgomery, with a pair of top five finishes in different cars, is knocking on the door of his first 410 sprint car victory. Veteran racer Shane Golobic sits two points back of Montgomery in third place. Justin Sanders, winner of last month's Mini-Gold Cup, was the winner in last year's Contra Costa County Clash at Antioch Speedway, and it was the first of his series leading seven wins on his way to a NARC championship in 2024. WHO TO WATCH Shane Golobic, from Fremont, is one to be watched on Saturday. Golobic finished second to Sanders at Antioch last year. This season, Golobic has been competitive everywhere he has raced, having picked up wins in sprint cars in non-NARC competition and in a midget recently. Driving the Matt Wood Racing No. 17w, Golobic figures to be one of the favorites. Golobic has 16 NARC victories to his credit. Two-time NARC "King of the West" Dominic Scelzi of Fresno is another driver to watch on Saturday. Scelzi, a winner of 23 NARC main events in his career, had problems in last year's Contra Costa County Clash, but in 2023 he was victorious at Antioch. The charismatic fan favorite looks to add another Antioch triumph to his resume on Saturday aboard the Gary Scelzi Motorsports No. 41. Dylan Bloomfield of Oakley could be considered a dark horse on Saturday. The young driver of the Vertullo Racing No. 83v finished third in last year's race at Antioch, and a couple other times last season he was in contention for his first NARC victory. Saturday's race could be another opportunity for Bloomfield to finally break through. A full field of sprint car teams are expected to fill the pit area. Other drivers expected to compete include Roseville's Sean Becker and Ryan Bernal, Tanner Carrick of Lincoln, Clovis drivers Dominic Gorden and Mariah Ede, Bud Kaeding of Campbell, Tyler Thompson from Oregon, Lemoore's Caeden Steele, Gauge Garcia of Fresno, Benicia's Billy Aton, Windsors John Clark, and many more. FAN INFO Antioch Speedway is located at 1201 W 10th Street in town near Hwy 4. It will be an exciting open wheel night for fans as the Graunstadt Memorial for the BCRA and WMR Midgets are also on the card. General admission is $35 for adults, and $25 for seniors, military and kids. Front gates open at 4:00 p.m. with hot laps scheduled for 5:30 p.m. and racing at 6:00 p.m. ABOUT NARC The Northern Auto Racing Club is the premier 410-winged sprint car series in the western United States.

- NARC SPRINT CARS HEAD TO TULARE FOR CHRIS & BRIAN FARIA MEMORIAL RACE
(4/21/25 - Andrew Kunas) Tulare, CA ,,, A Thunderbowl Raceway cornerstone event is next on tap for the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series, which will race in the Chris & Brian Faria Memorial this Saturday, April 26th. Saturday's event is the first of two visits that NARC will make to the 1/3-mile, high-banked clay oval located at the Tulare County Fairgrounds this season. This marks the third stop on the 27-event NARC campaign. 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 name for this race. 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 two-time 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 Chris & Brian Faria Memorial was rained out on its original sprint date, but the series and Thunderbowl Raceway were able to reschedule the event to October 12th, and it was Cole Macedo picking up the victory that night. Netto, who lives just down the road from Thunderbowl Raceway in Hanford, currently leads the NARC point standings after two completed events aboard the Netto Ag No. 88N. With his win in the season opening event at Stockton Dirt Track, followed by his fourth place run at the Mini Gold Cup at Silver Dollar Speedway, Netto carries a five-point advantage over Templeton's Kaleb Montgomery. Montgomery, having driven two different cars in two races, turned in Top 5 finishes each time, including a third-place effort at the Mini Gold Cup. WHO TO WATCH Justin Sanders, after a tough month of March, bounced back in a big way at Silver Dollar Speedway, winning the Mini Gold Cup after a last lap battle with Tanner Holmes. With the $10,000 NARC victory at Chico, the reigning NARC "King of the West" clawed back to sixth in the standings, only 12 points out of the lead and feeling that momentum is back on the side of the Mittry Motorsports No. 2x. Fremont's Shane Golobic enters the night third in the NARC point standings aboard the Matt Wood Racing No. 17w.

- SCCT heads for Merced Speedway this Saturday April 19
Merced, CA…Over the last handful of years Merced Speedway has established itself as one of the more popular dirt tracks in California. This Saturday night, the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour will compete at the bullring for the second round of the season. The Merced Speedway happens to be one of the more centrally located tracks in California, which should make for a solid field from throughout the Northern and Central part of our state. The always action-packed quarter mile lies one hour and 45 minutes from Sacramento and just under an hour from Fresno. "We are excited to host the Sprint Car Challenge Tour at Merced Speedway this Saturday," commented track GM Doug Lockwood. "We don't have that many Sprint Car shows in Merced, but when we do, it's always a special time. It should be an outstanding field of competitors this weekend and it's your only chance to catch a Winged Sprint Car event here until November, so hopefully everyone can come out and fill these grandstands." The www.shopkylelarson.com A-main will hand out $3,000-to-win/ $400-to-start on Saturday. The track will also host an Easter Egg/ Candy Hunt during intermission on the front stretch to celebrate Easter Weekend. Teams are asked to please bring some candy for the kids during it. Opening night with the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour last month saw Shane Golobic race to his 17th career series win. This Saturday the Fremont veteran hopes to become the sixth different winner in as many SCCT races held at Merced Speedway. Fresno's Dominic Scelzi grabbed a Sprint Car Challenge Tour triumph at Merced in 2023 and recorded a runner-up finish during the SCCT opener in March. The two-time NARC champion is always a favorite in the Golden State and should be certain contender at the "Clash on the High Banks." Aromas driver Justin Sanders is fresh off a $10,000 score at the Mini Gold Cup and looks to back that up with a Merced Speedway victory on Saturday. Sanders was victorious during the SCCT stop at the track last season and brought home a top five at the opener in March. The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour made its Merced debut in 2019, an event claimed by Roseville's Jodie Robinson, who has shown immense speed so far this year driving for Weiher Racing once again. More drivers looking to take home the top prize at the Clash on the High Banks will include 2021 Merced SCCT winner Colby Copeland from Roseville, Sacramento's Austin Wood, Suisun City's Chance Grasty, Lincoln's Tanner Carrick, Clovis' Dominic Gorden, Templeton's Kaleb Montgomery, Hanford's DJ Netto, recent Ocean Speedway winner Seth Standley of Yuba City, Placerville's Shane Hopkins, Marysville brothers Carson and Dawson Hammes, Livermore's Travis Labat, Arizona driver Corbin Rueschenberg, Brentwood's Adriana Demartini, Fresno's Mariah Ede and others. Tickets and Details: Adult tickets for the Clash on the High Banks this Saturday April 19th cost $25, juniors will be $10, while kids 10 and under are free. The pit gate will open at 3pm, with the front gate opening at 5pm. Racing is slated to begin around 7pm. The muffler rule will be as follows: Flowmaster, SpinTech, Schoenfeld 14272735-78 or Extreme mufflers only. The Merced Speedway is located at 900 Martin Luther King Jr. Way, Merced, California 95431.

- SANDERS HOLDS OFF HOLMES TO CLAIM EPIC NARC MINI GOLD CUP THRILLER AT CHICO
(4/12/25 - Andrew Kunas) Chico, CA ... Fans at Silver Dollar Speedway were treated to a NARC 410 Sprint Car thriller and instant classic on Saturday night, as Justin Sanders fended off heavy traffic and a determined Tanner Holmes to win the Mini Gold Cup and a $10,000 payday. Sanders, who led the final 19 laps of the 40-lap race after taking the lead from Tim Kaeding, encountered slower traffic in the closing laps, allowing Holmes to close in rapidly. On the final lap, in the second turn of the quarter-mile bullring, Sanders drifted up as he tried to navigate around slower cars with Holmes getting a run around the top. The two cars making light contact with Sanders getting into the loose clay at the top, allowing Holmes to move by. Holmes, however, then had to deal with the slower cars, who were running in his preferred top and middle lines through the final two corners. Holmes made contact with one while Sanders, who favored the very bottom on that end of the racetrack, used it to get back by Holmes off of turn four to steal the win aboard the Yuba Sutter Aviation sponsored Mittry Motorsports No. 2x Fisher-powered Maxim. This finish sent the Silver Dollar Speedway crowd into a frenzy. "I kind of floated up," explained Sanders. "I knew that was the 21 car was coming. That motor rips so I could hear it behind me. Tanner got by me, and I can't believe he didn't run the bottom in three and four, and maybe that won us the race. He was running the middle, maybe to block a slider. We're happy to get this win. They're so hard to come by. We had a great car." Despite contact with the slower car, Holmes finished second aboard the American Rock & Rent sponsored Tarlton Motorsports No. 21 Kistler-powered Maxim and the driver from Jacksonville, Oregon received approval from the fans for his late efforts. "It felt like all weekend we were searching and searching," said Holmes, "and finally we put together a great second half." "I just made a mistake on my part (at the end)," Holmes continued. "If I could do it over, I'd do it over, but I'm proud of these 21 guys and we were right there at the end." Kaleb Montgomery raced in the Top 10 throughout the headliner and made late moves to get on the podium aboard the Hansen Machine sponsored McColloch Racing No. 17 Don Ott-powered Maxim. He made a late race pass for third around D.J. Netto. Netto, who won the season opening race at Stockton, ran as high as second before finishing fourth in the Penny Newman Grain sponsored Netto Ag No. 88N Rider-powered KPC. Tyler Thompson finished fifth aboard the HAM Construction sponsored Main Motorsports No. 35km Kistler-powered Maxim. Tanner Carrick, Shane Golobic, Tim Kaeding, Sean Becker, and Ryan Bernal rounded out the Top 10. Bernal earned the Williams Roofing Hard Charger nod, moving up seven positions to finish tenth. Bud Kaeding won the Winters Performance Last Chance Qualifier. Heat races were claimed by Montgomery, Holmes, Netto and Landon Brooks. Tyler Thompson set overall fast time in qualifying with a 11.698 second lap around the ¼-mile clay oval.

- NARC SPRINT CAR TEAMS HEAD TO CHICO IN PURSUIT OF $10,000 MINI GOLD CUP WINNER CHECK
(4/7/25 - Andrew Kunas) Chico, CA ... The first big money race of the season has arrived for the NARC 410 sprint cars, with the prestigious Mini Gold Cup happening this Saturday, April 12th at Silver Dollar Speedway. Saturday's winner will score NARC's first five-figure payday of 2025, taking home $10,000 for their efforts. First run in 1987, the Mini Gold Cup was a longtime staple on the Northern California sprint car schedule, bringing fans and competitors to the challenging ¼-mile clay oval in Chico. Several editions over the years saw the event on the World of Outlaws schedule, but it has otherwise been a NARC event. After a hiatus of a few years that started with the COVID-19 plagued 2020 season, the SLC Promotions team brought the beloved event back a couple of years ago. Regardless of sanction, the Mini Gold Cup has long been a premier season event sprint car fans on the West Coast. Cole Macedo won last year's Mini Gold Cup after leader Ryan Robinson crashed on the final lap. It was Macedo's second Mini Gold Cup win, that one coming aboard the Tarlton Motorsports No. 21. With Macedo now on the World of Outlaws tour, the Tarlton team has been going with Jacksonville, Oregon standout Tanner Holmes. The pairing has already found success, winning an earlier race at Silver Dollar Speedway and then turning into multiple Top 5 finishes with High Limit Racing during their March swing through California. That has many fans pointing at Holmes as one of the favorites on Saturday. Hanford's D.J. Netto, with his win in last month's NARC season opener at the Stockton Dirt Track, has the points lead aboard the Netto Ag No. 88n going into the weekend with a four-point advantage over Fremont's Shane Golobic. Netto, a former NARC champion, will be one to watch, as he won twice in other 410 sprint car competition at Silver Dollar Speedway last year, including the Friday night Mini Gold Cup Tune-Up. Golobic also already is a winner in Chico this season in non-NARC competition, winning the night before Holmes did. Golobic and the Matt Wood Racing No. 17w are also hoping that translates to NARC success at the Mini Gold Cup on Saturday. In the Mini Gold Cup record books, National Sprint Car Hall of Famer Brent Kaeding leads everyone with four total Mini Gold Cup triumphs, taking checkered flags in 1991, 1993, 1996 and 2001. A pair of World of Outlaws champions, Jason Meyers, and Donny Schatz each have three wins in the prestigious race. WHO TO WATCH One other driver who will be watched is reigning NARC champion Justin Sanders of Aromas. The 2024 "King of the West" won the David Tarter Memorial last June when the NARC 410 sprint cars last tackled Silver Dollar Speedway, one of his seven NARC wins en route to the series championship. Sanders and the Mittry Motorsports No. 2x are looking at the Mini Gold Cup as the perfect opportunity to bounce back after a disappointing month of March. Never one to be counted out at Silver Dollar Speedway, San Jose's Tim Kaeding is always one to keep an eye on aboard the Williams Motorsports No. 0. A two-time "King of the West" and one of NARC's all-time winningest drivers with 74 victories, Kaeding has won several big races in Chico over the years, and that includes two Mini Gold Cups, those wins coming in 2005 and 2007. Templeton driver Kaleb Montgomery gave a strong performance at the Salute to Leroy Van Conett at Stockton on March 8th, driving from 15th to finish 4th in the NARC season opener. He later turned more heads by making the dash and finishing fifth in a High Limit Racing main event at Perris Auto Speedway. After this prior weekend's cancelations, fans remain eager to see what the young driver has ahead of him as he pursues his first NARC victory aboard the Montgomery Racing No. 3. 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, 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 Front gates open at 4:00 pm, with hot laps at 5:30 pm and qualifying to follow at 6:00 pm. Racing is scheduled to start at 6:45 pm. BCRA lightning sprints are also scheduled to compete. As a bonus for fans, Silver Dollar Speedway is also racing on Friday night, April 11th, with 410 sprint cars in action as a tune-up for Saturday's $10,000 to win Mini Gold Cup.

- WET WEATHER WASHES OUT APRIL 4TH NARC EVENT AT OCEAN SPEEDWAY. STOCKTON CANCELED ALSO!
(April 1, 2025 - Jim Allen) Watsonville, CA... The NARC 410 Sprint Car Series event scheduled for Friday, April 4th at Ocean Speedway has been canceled due to extremely wet weather conditions affecting the pit area. Promoter John Prentice stated, "I would need four straight days of 80-degree temperatures to have any chance of drying out the pit area. Unfortunately, the weather isn't going to cooperate." Consequently, this cancellation, along with the earlier cancellation of the Saturday event at the Stockton Dirt Track, results in the complete cancellation of the race weekend for the NARC sprint cars. Neither event will be rescheduled. The next scheduled race for the NARC series is the highly anticipated Mini-Gold Cup at Chico, featuring a stout $10,000 winners payday. Unfortunately, this is NOT an April Fool's joke!

- 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.

- NETTO LAYS CLAIM TO NARC OPENER AT VAN CONETT SALUTE AT STOCKTON
(3/8/25 - Andrew Kunas) Stockton, CA ... D.J. Netto kicked off the 2025 NARC 410 sprint car season in dominate fashion, winning the season opening Salute to Leroy Van Conett at the Stockton Dirt Track on Saturday. The Hanford, CA driver led all 30 laps, but had to work hard in heavy traffic, fighting off the reigning NARC champion Justin Sanders as they sliced and diced their way through slower cars. Sanders made numerous attempts to get around his fellow former champion, but Netto answered the call. Unfortunately, Sanders charge came to an abrupt end when he spun while trying to avoid a lapped car with just six laps remaining. With a clear track in front of him, Netto was never seriously challenged the rest of the way, winning aboard the Penny Newman Green-sponsored Netto Ag No. 88n Rider-powered KPC. It was a perfect ending for Netto who starting the program by setting the standard for the 25-car field in ARP qualifying with a new track record. He also claimed the Beacon Wealth Strategies dash to earn the pole for the feature. "Justin and I had been racing pretty well. I was kind of looking left and saw that he was going where I wasn't. I was trying to look left and straight at the same time," Netto said. "You don't know who's spinning out or who was where in front of you. Honestly the yellows came at the right time for me. It was going to get really good with Justin and I in traffic. I just had a really good race car (also)." Saturday's event honored Stockton-native Van Conett, an eight-time NARC champion and 1999 National Sprint Car Hall of Fame inductee. The 90-year old Van Conett was in attendance for the races. Fremont, California's Shane Golobic battled with Sean Becker in the closing laps and finished second aboard the NOS Energy Drink-sponsored Matt Wood Racing No. 17w Rider-powered KPC. Disappointed with his finish after a mistake on his part earlier, Golobic was grateful for the result and for his crew. "I think I lost our race earlier," Golobic said, regarding a pass he made around Sanders for second, but losing back when he made a mistake. "I'm really proud of our team. We're just a bunch of guys having a lot of fun together and the NOS Energy Drink guys work really, really hard and Matt Wood is helping us get up and down the road." After starting seventh, Becker settled for third aboard the Bjork Construction Company-sponsored No. 7b Shaver-powered Maxim. Coming from the 15th starting position, Kaleb Montgomery charged to finish fourth aboard the Luxon Real Estate-sponsored Montgomery Racing No. 3 Speedway-powered Maxim. Andy Forsberg finished fifth in the Pacific Highway Rentals-sponsored No. 92 Don Ott-powered Maxim. Tim Kaeding put on a show for his legion of fans aboard the Williams Motorsports No. 0, earning the Williams Roofing Hard Charger nod, advancing 15 positions and coming from 21st to finish sixth. Dylan Bloomfield, who ran as high as second late in the race, finished seventh. Tanner Carrick, Billy Aton and Dominic Gorden rounded out the top ten. Heat races earlier in the evening were won by Tanner Carrick, Shane Golobic and Dylan Bloomfield. Hoosier Racing Feature (30 laps): 1. 88 D.J.

- NARC OPENS '25 SPRINT CAR CAMPAIGN WITH VAN CONETT SALUTE AT STOCKTON
(3/3/25 - Andrew Kunas) Stockton, CA ... After a long winter, the wait is coming to an end for 410 sprint car fans in California as the Northern Auto Racing Club opens its highly anticipated 2025 season this Saturday night with the annual Salute to Leroy Van Conett at the Stockton Dirt Track. The first of 29 races scheduled for NARC's 66th season of competition, the Salute to Leroy Van Conett honors one of the all-time greats. A Galt, CA native, Van Conett was an eight-time NARC champion, winning his first title in 1969 and scoring his last in 1984. Among his many career sprint car victories were a Gold Cup win and 65 NARC triumphs, and it all resulted in Van Conett entering the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame in 1999. Van Conett's NARC championship total has been surpassed only by fellow Hall of Famer Brent Kaeding. Aromas, California's Justin Sanders, the defending NARC series champion, won last year's Salute to Leroy Van Conett after making a late pass around former series champion Sean Becker. Sanders also won the NARC season finale at Stockton in spectacular style last November, beating Cole Macedo late to win the annual Tribute to Gary Patterson and win the NARC championship in walk off fashion. Sanders, driving the Mittry Motorsports No. 2x, will look start his title defense with a win at the track where he saw much success last year. Several other top racers will be on hand. Among them will be the rising star from Oregon, Tanner Holmes, who will be splitting time this season between his family's car and the potent Tarlton Motorsports No. 21, which he will be piloting on Saturday. Holmes won his first NARC 410 race last year and looks to quickly add to his total this season. With Macedo behind the wheel, the Tarlton Motorsports team nearly won the NARC title last year against Sanders. A number of other aspiring drivers have been knocking on the door of their first NARC win, and opening night at Stockton Dirt Track is that first opportunity this season for drivers like Gauge Garcia of Lemoore, and Oakley's Dylan Bloomfield, a pair of drivers who led NARC main events last season but fell short. Ashton Torgerson of Glendale, AZ is one of the drivers who will compete for NARC Rookie of the Year honors. A former Tulsa Shootout winner in micro-sprint competition and having raced midgets and 360 sprint cars, Torgerson recently moved up to the 410 ranks and will be one of the young guns to watch. Other NARC rookie of the year candidates include Landon Brooks of Rio Oso, who will be driving for the veteran Bates-Hamilton Racing Team. Other top drivers expected to compete include 2024 NARC rookie of the year Caeden Steele of Fresno; Billy Aton of Benicia; Dominic Gorden from Clovis; Lincoln's Tanner Carrick; Campbell's Bud Kaeding; San Jose's Tim Kaeding, Shane Golobic of Fremont; Templeton's Kaleb Montgomery; Angelique Bell of Roseville; Jarrett Soares of Gilroy; Jennifer Osborne of Geyersville; Oregon driver Tyler Thompson; Roseville's Sean Becker; Hanford's DJ Netto and many others. Fan Info The NARC portion of the race program includes qualifying, three eight-lap heat races, a 6-lap dash, and a 30-lap feature event. Also on the card with the NARC 410 sprint cars on Saturday night will be the Hunt Magneto Wingless Sprints, NorCal Dwarf Cars and the Legends of Kearney Bowl. The Stockton Dirt Track is located at the San Joaquin County Fairgrounds at 1658 S Airport Way. The main gate for fans opens at 4pm. Tickets are $30 for adults 18 to 64, and $25 for juniors 5 to 17, seniors 65 and older, along with military. Children age 4 and younger are in for free. Parking is $10.00 cash.
