- Top sprint car drivers to take over Placerville Speedway
The popular Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial races will be held Friday and Saturday at Placerville Speedway. The event features a lucrative payday for the NARC 410s and the weekend of racing pays tribute to ...
- NARC SPRINT CARS HEAD TO PLACERVILLE FOR $5000 TO WIN DAVE BRADWAY JR. MEMORIAL RACE ON SATURDAY
(5/30/23) Placerville, CA ... Action and tradition will meet each other on Saturday, June 3rd, when the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series returns to Placerville Speedway. A $5,000 payday will go to the driver who can slay the field of the 32nd Annual Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial. This will be the only time you will see the fire-breathing mudslinging monsters of the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series at "Little Knoxville On The Hill" in 2023. The popular event features a lucrative payday and pays tribute to an incredible driver, Dave Bradway Jr., who tragically passed away in a racing accident in June of 1987 at Skagit Speedway. The event was initially held at Silver Dollar Speedway from its inception in 1991 until it was relocated to Placerville in 2021. Several additional prizes are up for grabs, including $5,200 in additional lap money, $1,100 for a quick time, $650 for the hard charger, and much more. "I'm excited to get back to Placerville," commented driver Corey Day of Clovis, the defending race winner. "It's such a cool place and it's really good for racing. There is no place like it, so to be good there and win there is cool too. I was pumped to win (the Bradway) last year, and it'd be great to win it in the (Jason Meyers Racing) #14 this year." All of the top cars and stars of the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series will be in attendance, as well as several Placerville Speedway regulars. The facility is an action-filled quarter-mile clay oval with high banks that will take your breath away every single lap. The Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial weekend kicks off with the Sprint Car Challenge Tour 360 sprint cars on Friday night. The NorCal Dwarf Cars will be the companion division both nights. Championship Chase An electric points battle is raging for the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series points championship. Day continues to reign atop the standings, holding a slim eight-point margin over two-time defending series champion Dominic Scelzi of Fresno. With a large slate of events on the June docket, it will undoubtedly play a significant factor in determining who will be crowned the King of the West in November. Day is chasing his first-ever NARC title. Both pilots have three wins to their credit this season, and both have yet to finish outside of the Top 10. However, Scelzi has been scorching hot lately, as he has visited victory lane the last two times that the tour has run and three out of the last four. He was fifth at this event last year and won it in 2021. Who to Watch Justin Sanders, who has five top-five finishes to his credit this season. is still looking for that first win of 2023 with the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series. The Aromas racer always runs well at Placerville, with two 360 Sprint Car wins at Placerville this season. Sanders is the 2019 winner of this event, the last time it was held in Chico. Shane Golobic has won several crown jewel events in California, but the Fremont native has yet to win the coveted Bradway trophy. Last year Golobic was third when the checkered flag dropped and is looking for his first NARC win this season. Besides Day and Scelzi, Roseville's Justyn Cox is the only other feature winner on the NARC tour this season. He is currently fourth in the points standings after claiming the lucrative Dennis Roth Classic in April and posting six top ten finishes. Campbell veteran Bud Kaeding wants to build off his incredible second-place effort at Petaluma in the most recent NARC race. Kaeding was the 2015 winner of this event, and there is no doubt that the iconic BK Racing team is hungry for another Bradway trophy to add to the case. Andy Forsberg is the defending track champion at Placerville Speedway. Despite all his Placerville success, like Golobic, Forsberg has yet to win the Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial. However, the Auburn veteran is coming off his best run of the current campaign with the tour, as he posted a fifth-place finish at Petaluma on May 20th. No doubt, another favorite that the Placerville crowd will be roaring for is Michael Faccinto. The Hanford driver drives the #X1 entry owned by Alan Bradway and Steve Tuccelli. Faccinto has had some strong runs in the 360 Sprints with the local Placerville scene and will look to apply that experience on Saturday night. Despite a limited schedule, Willie Croft is a driver you don't want to discount. Now residing in Colfax, Croft collected a Bradway win in 2018 and boasted an impressive fourth-place performance at Petaluma a couple of weeks ago despite being out of the race car for nearly two months. He has earned the Mike Avilla fast time award at the event for five-years running. Also running will be Penngrove's Chase Johnson, Billy Aton of Benicia, Tucson native Nick Parker, Oakley teenager Dylan Bloomfield, Joey Ancona of Concord, Roseville driver's Colby Copeland, Ryan Bernal and Sean Becker, Kaleb Montgomery from Templeton, and many more! PAST RACE HISTORY: Jonathan Allard has accumulated the most Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial wins in the race's storied existence. The Chico chauffeur, now living in New Zealand, has won the Bradway five times over the years, with the most recent achievement in 2012.

- Dominic Scelzi Scores NARC Series Victory at Petaluma Speedwa
Dominic Scelzi is heating up as he captured the Salute to the First Responders feature victory last Saturday at Petaluma Speedway.
- SCELZI DOMINATES: PICKS OFF THIRD NARC VICTORY OF SEASON AT PETALUMA
(5/20/23 - Ben Deatherage) Petaluma, CA ... Dominic Scelzi continued to build on his incredible NARC 410 Sprint Car Series momentum leading all 30-laps at Petaluma Speedway. It was Scelzi's second-straight win of the season, giving him three series triumphs on the campaign for his Scelzi Enterprises/Whipple Superchargers/Red Rose Transportation #41 Maxim team. On the initial green flag, Scelzi came out in front of a drag race against Bud Kaeding down the front straightaway and into the first set of corners. The first 20-laps ran non-stop, which brought heavy lapped traffic into the mix as the leader negotiated his way through slower traffic. Scelzi was cutting perfect laps and established a healthy straightaway advantage over Kaeding, before slower cars slowed his progress. With a restart with only 10-laps remaining, Kaeding, piloting the Alviso Rock/Al's Roofing Supply #69 Maxim, launched one more assault on the leader but to no avail. With an open track ahead of him, Scelzi cruised to the victory and tightened up the battle with Corey Day for the NARC championship. "I'm thankful to be upfront and win," said Scelzi in victory lane. "It's awesome to win here; it's two in a row. Earlier in my interview, I said this is right up my alley but in reality, this is where I struggle the most of anywhere I've been, so winning here is really cool." His second straight Petaluma Speedway came by a 1.973 second margin. "The only way I was going to catch him was if he blew a motor or got a flat tire," said Kaeding, after posting his first podium finish of the season. The balance of podium finishers was Justin Sanders in the Farmer's Brewing/North County Plastering/MittryConstruction.com #2X Maxim. Sanders launched a haymaker at Kaeding on the restart, but was unable to make it stick. Andy Forsberg, driving the Pacific Highway Rentals/Meridian Camera #92 ART scored fourth. ARP fast qualifier Willie Croft, aboard the Amerikote Powder Coating/Novelli Auto Body/Rudeen Racing #29 Eagle rounded out the top five. The balance of the top ten comprised Joel Myers Jr., Justyn Cox, NARC point leader Day, Williams Roofing Hardcharger Award winner Chase Johnson, and Billy Aton. Johnson brought out the only red flag of the program when he got upside down in his trophy dash.

- Bates-Hamilton Racing wraps up Peter Murphy Classic with Hard Charger Award
Hanford, CA…Making the haul to Hanford this past weekend, Bates-Hamilton Racing and driver Justyn Cox put together two solid nights of competition, highlighted by a Hard Charger Award with SCCT on Saturday. "It was definitely a busy weekend for us as a team running with NARC on Friday, and then coming back with both NARC and SCCT on Saturday," Cox commented. "The Peter Murphy Classic went well overall, and I think we can chalk it up as a success. We racked up a couple of top-10's with the 410, while also passing a lot of cars in the 360 on Saturday." Opening night on Friday at Kings Speedway - Powered by Keller Motors saw Cox qualify sixth in the stout 27-car field with a lap of 13.805. A third-place finish in the heat race placed him in the ninth starting spot for the feature. He would race around P8 early in the contest, before picking off a couple cars to snag sixth around the halfway point. When the checkered flag fell, he crossed the stripe in seventh. As the weather warmed up nearing triple digits the BHR team returned on Saturday for double duty action with both the Northern Auto Racing Club and the Sprint Car Challenge Tour. On the NARC side of things, the Clarksburg, California racer timed-in fifth quick and picked up a dominating heat race win aboard the benefitRFP/ Lippert Construction/ Dan Ewart Sales/ VinylTech PVC Pipe/ Clow Valve No. 42x. Following an opening round loss to James McFadden in the pole shuffle, Cox found himself starting sixth in the main event. After the green flag waved, he hovered around 10th in the running order, where he ultimately went on to finish at the Ed Entz checkered. With the SCCT 360s Cox qualified third in his group and finished third in the opening heat race, giving him an inside row seven starting spot for the feature. It was apparent early on that the 28-year-old had a car to his liking, as he put on a methodical charge forward. He sliced his way into ninth by the halfway point and then eighth with five circuits remaining. Cox continued the fantastic run by jumping into fifth on lap 28. When all was said and done, his drive from 13th to fifth netted Cox the Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Award. He and BHR now occupy third in the SCCT points going into the next event on May 27th in Marysville. Next up for Bates-Hamilton Racing will be a visit to Petaluma Speedway for another round of competition with the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series this Saturday May 20th. The Petaluma 3/8-mile oval has often been a favorable stop for the No. 42x team, as Joshua Bates is a former championship winning car owner on the gumbo with Herman Klein at the helm. Cox currently sits among the top-five in the series standings going into Petaluma. FloRacing will provide live coverage of the event for those who can't make it out. Tickets will be available at the gate. π©ππππ-π―πππππππ πΉπππππ would like to thank BenefitRFP, Lippert Construction, Dan Ewart Sales, VinylTech PVC Pipe, Clow Valve, Teichert Construction, Advanced Drainage Systems, Custom Pipe and Fabrication, B Scadden Design, Specified Pipe, North Bay Waterworks, SIP, Tigre, Star Pipe Products, McWane Ductile, Kaeding Performance, Kistler Engines, Maxim Racing, Sellers Race Wings, ART Enterprises, Rod Tiner Racing, Tiner-Hirst Enterprise, Vanlare Steering Repair, Arbo-Tec, Performance Powder Coating, Warehouse Paint, Justice Brothers, K1 Race Gear, Arai Helmets and Bullet Impressions for their support this season. πππππ¬-πππ¦π’π₯ππ¨π§ ππππ’π§π Kings Speedway Quick Recap- May 12th with NARC: Qualified (6th), Heat Race (3rd), A-main (7th) May 13th- NARC- Qualified (5th), Heat Race (1st), A-main (10th) SCCT- Qualified (3rd), Heat Race (3rd), A-main (5th) ππ©ππ¨π¦π’π§π πππππ¬- May 20th: Petaluma Speedway - NARC 410 Sprint Cars π¦π½πΌπ»ππΌπΏ π¦π½πΌππΉπΆπ΄π΅π: Bates Hamilton Racing is pleased to welcome back Clow Valve for a sixth season.

- John Padjen Kids Bike Night on tap for Placerville Speedway Saturday
Placerville, CA…The El Dorado County Fairgrounds based Placerville Speedway is excited to host one of its more anticipated events of the season, with the annual John Padjen "Kids Bike Night" presented by the Pizza Factory set to occur this Saturday May 20th. All kids 11 and under receive free admission during John Padjen Kids Bike Night on Saturday. As is tradition, children in attendance are invited to race their bikes on the track following heat race competition. Those competing in the races must wear a helmet. Kids on hand will also have a chance to win a new bike. If you're looking for a delicious pre-race meal, make sure to stop by the Pizza Factory of Placerville, Pleasant Valley, Pollock Pines, Cameron Park, Auburn, Colfax, Rocklin or Ione to support this Saturday's presenting sponsor. Outstanding and piping hot pizza, lasagna, freshly made salads and much more is offered at the Pizza Factory. "This is always an excellent show for the families to come out and enjoy a night of racing," commented track Promoter Scott Russell. "Kids Bike Night has been one of the long-standing events here and we're happy to allow those 11 and under into the races for free on Saturday. When it comes to the future of our sport the younger generation is extremely important, so we hope everyone can bring their kids and maybe even some of their friends this weekend." This Saturday is also our way to remember former track Promoter John Padjen, who passed away in December of 2021. It was Padjen's idea that brought about Kids Bike Night, which continues to be a mainstay at both Placerville Speedway and Chico's Silver Dollar Speedway to this day. "John always had Kids Bike Night at West Capital Raceway, so he decided to bring that over to Placerville and Chico when he started running both venues," said past Placerville Speedway Promoter Alan Padjen. "The bike nights have always been a hit with the families. It's great that Placerville Speedway continues that tradition and it's a perfect event to remember my dad at." In the early 1980's, John Padjen came aboard Placerville Speedway to help rescue the community icon that was beginning to struggle in the way of management efforts. Already a successful motorsports promoter in Sacramento, Dixon and Chico, Padjen moved in and helped mold the foothill race facility into the successful, competitive track it is today. Padjen established a consistent Saturday night program to improve safety and visibility for both drivers and fans. Tackling the high banked quarter mile this Saturday will be the Thompson's Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Cars, the Anrak Corporation Ltd. Late Models, the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks and Hunt Magnetos Wingless Sprints. Modesto's Tony Gomes, Auburn's Ray Trimble and Oakley's Nick Baldwin sit atop the Sprint Car, Late Model and Pure Stock standings respectively going into the final point race until June 24th.

- SENSATIONAL SCELZI: CLAIMS THIRD STRAIGHT 11K NARC SPRINT CAR WIN AT PETER MURPHY CLASSIC
(5/13/23) Hanford, CA ... Two-time defending NARC champion Dominic Scelzi continued his dominance of the Peter Murphy Classic Saturday night finale by posting his third straight $11,000 sprint car victory at Kings Speedway. The winning ride in this 30-lap NAPA Auto Parts feature was the Jimmy Carr-wrenched, Scelzi Enterprise/Whipple Superchargers/Red Rose Transportation #41 Maxim. Scelzi, who won the hotly contested pole shuffle, jumped out to an early lead but had his advantage negated by caution flags in the early going. Shane Golobic was in the hunt from the start and battled wheel-to-wheel with the leader for several circuits before taking the lead on lap five. Golobic, in the Works Limited #57 EMI, and Scelzi would slide and counter-slide for several laps before Scelzi secured the point on the seventh trip past the flag stand. Golobic would be credited with leading laps five and six. Scelzi had his hands full negotiating lapped traffic shortly thereafter, but made all the right moves navigating his way around and through slower cars. Golobic mounted one more solid challenge for the point on a lap 13 restart, but was unable to make anything stick. Scelzi proceeded to master the three-eighths mile oval the remaining distance to secure his second win of the season by a healthy 4.7 second margin. "This used to be a race that plagued me," said Scelzi in victory lane, after scoring his 21st career NARC victory. "I broke my back at his race in 2015, and then in 2021, we couldn't lose, and we were strong in 2022. Last night I felt like I knew what we needed to be a little bit better, but I truly didn't know what it was going to take to win. Corey (Day) is so talented and tough to beat, and he's only getting better, and he's got such a talented group of drivers behind him. Still, this old guy isn't done yet." "My relationship has changed with Peter from when I met him to now has evolved, and this race means more than Trophy Cup, Dirt Cup, or winning an Outlaw show. I've been lucky to win many cool races in my life, but these Peter Murphy Classic trophies have a special spot in our shop." Day would end his weekend second in the Jason Meyers Racing fielded Meyers Constructors/Four C's Construction #14 KPC, chased by the Toyota Racing Development/Roth Motorsports/HR Livestock #83 Maxim driven by James McFadden. Justin Sanders brought the Demo Mittry-owned Farmer's Brewing/North County Plastering #2X Maxim home in fourth. Golobic rounded out the top five. "Losing to Dominic says a lot, and this race means a lot to him," stated Day, "the dynamic of the race didn't play out the way I needed to for me. I wasted too much time at the beginning of the race, and starting seventh was not great for us. I knew Dominic was going to be good up front. He was coming in the 360 race, and I knew Jimmy (Carr, crew chief) would have his car going well." "I was there for Pete's first win in Alice Springs, and it's been cool to be here for this race," commented McFadden. "These guys are tough. It's tougher to win out here than it is an Outlaw show. Dom was dominant. That was a pretty big ass whooping there. We struggled a lot, but we'll return to the drawing board and figure out what to do." The rest of the top ten finishers included Cole Macedo, D.J. Netto, 13th starter Kaleb Montgomery, Chase Johnson, and Justyn Cox.

- DAY OUTGUNS MCFADDEN TO DOMINATE OPENING NIGHT OF THE PETER MURPHY CLASSIC
(5/12/23 - Ben Deatherage) Hanford, CA ... Teenage sensation Corey Day continued on his winning ways with an impressive Peter Murphy Classic opening night showing at Kings Speedway. Day powered past James McFadden in the NARC 410 NAPA Auto Parts Sprint Car Series headliner at the halfway point and never looked back to score his third series victory of the season. The 30-lap headliner kicked off with polesitter McFadden grabbing the early race lead aboard the Dennis and Teresa Roth-owned Toyota Racing Development/HR Livestock #83 Maxim. The Australian driver, racing for just the second time in his career with the NARC, was jungle cat-quick, but several caution flags prevented him from thoroughly checking out from the rest of the pack. After a lap thirteen restart, Day rocketed past McFadden coming to the line, only for the pass to be negated by a red flag incident for Cole Macedo. He was uninjured in the accident. Once the wreckage was cleared, Day hunted McFadden down on an open racetrack and passed him for the point, manhandling the high side of the racetrack. Day, who started seventh, dominated the rest of the way aboard the Jason Meyer Racing-fielded Meyers Constructors/Four C's Construction/Autry Plumbing #14 KPC. "We were really good there!" said a pleased Day in victory lane, after scoring his ninth career series win and first at the Peter Murphy Classic. "We had to do a motor change after hot laps, and we never gave up and kept pushing through. To start seventh, come through like that, and beat an Outlaw is cool." McFadden finished a very respectable second, followed by the Scelzi Enterprises/Whipple Superchargers/Red Rose Transportation #41 Maxim driven by Dominic Scelzi. The balance of the top five consisted of fourth finishing Shane Golobic in the Works Limited #57 EMI and the Larry Antaya-owned Fire Protection Management of Bay Area/Northstar Concrete Pumping #16A Helix, piloted by Colby Copeland, in fifth. Buddy Kofoid, Justyn Cox, Jonathan Allard, rookie Joey Ancona, and Ryan Bernal rounded out the top ten. Eleventh finisher Tanner Holmes earned the Williams Roofing Hardcharger award after starting 20th.

- Day Doubles Up Opening Night Victory at the Peter Murphy Classic
Teenage sensation Corey Day continued on his winning ways with an impressive Peter Murphy Classic opening night showing at Kings Speedway. Day powered past James McFadden in the NARC 410 NAPA Auto Parts Sprint Car Series headliner at the halfway point and never looked back to score his third series victory of the season.
- PETER MURPHY CLASSIC: BIG MONEY ON THE LINE FOR THE NARC SPRINT CARS THIS WEEKEND
(5/8/23) Hanford, CA ... The NARC 410 Sprint Car Racing Series, presented by NAPA Auto Parts, will head to Kings Speedway on Friday and Saturday, May 12-13th for the highly-anticipated Peter Murphy Classic. This will be the second trip of the season to the exciting 3/8-mile clay oval located in Hanford, CA. Up for grabs will be a stout $11,000 payday to the winner of Saturday night's 30-lap headliner finale. With that kind of money on the line, this two-day extravaganza will reel in the full NARC roster and attract some heavy hitters from outside the region. "I'm so excited for this weekend," commented Peter Murphy, promoter of Kings Speedway, "This is a major collaboration with my team here at Kings and all the wonderful sponsors and supporters that contribute to making it happen. It's always great to have NARC in town; this place has done some fantastic contests. This is a weekend you do not want to miss, and make sure to BRING A FRIEND!" Originating in 2015, The Peter Murphy Classic, or PMC, is a race honoring Kings Speedway promoter Peter Murphy. Murphy is originally from the Sydney, New South Wales, Australia area but now calls Clovis home. He's achieved eight NARC 410 Sprint Series wins from 2001 to 2013. Wins with the series include the 2011 Tribute to Gary Patterson and Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial. Murphy has also had a decorated career in Non-Wing competitions throughout the Central Valley. Friday's show will also feature the Kings of Thunder 360 sprint cars. The Sprint Car Challenge Tour 360's will join the program on Saturday. Fresno's Dominic Scelzi is the defending champion of the event after sweeping both nights in an intense open wheel battle in 2022. The timing of the Peter Murphy Classic might be perfect as Scelzi added his name to the 2023 NARC winner's list for the first time two-weeks ago at Antioch Speedway. That ended an uncharacteristic long winless streak dating back to May 2022 for the 20-time NARC winner. "Momentum doesn't always mean success, but I feel we have to be one of the favorites every single night," said Scelzi, the two-time defending NARC champion. "Even if we start deep (in the field), we've shown we can win and contend every night." "The Peter Murphy Classic has been great for us as we've won the last four Peter Murphy 410 races," Scelzi continued. "We got them both in 2021 and 2022. I just feel confident the more money on the line and the hotter the weather. My 41 team is ready to go." With temperatures expected to be in the 80's, Scelzi has all the incentives needed to continue his domination of the event. Other previous winners of the Peter Murphy Classic include Campbell's Bud Kaeding, Shane Golobic of Fremont, Rutherford's Rico Abreu, and Texas driver Aaron Reutzel. A full field of cars is expected to chase the lucrative purse which includes a guaranteed $1000 in starting money for Saturday's A-Main. Who to Watch Current NARC 410 Sprint Car Series championship point leader Corey Day returns to Kings after his triumphant efforts at April 8th NARC season opener at the track. The Clovis teenager has yet to finish off the podium in 2023 and is on a streak of two consecutive second-place results. He currently holds a 562-549 point advantage over Aromas driver Justin Sanders. Scelzi is another two points behind. Jonathan Allard is expected to make his 2023 debut with the NARC series. The three-time series champion, originally from Chico and now calling Waimauku, Auckland, New Zealand home, has four Kings Speedway wins since 2001, including last year's Morrie Williams Memorial. He has 41 NARC King of the West victories on his career resume. Hanford's D.J. Netto is always a threat to win on his home track. The 2019 series champion has already enjoyed a pair of 360 victories this season and hopes to carry that hot streak to his first PMC win. He has six NARC wins to this credit. Even though Roseville's Colby Copeland is not chasing NARC championship points, he is a driver to be watched at Kings Speedway. He "quietly" finished in the runner-up spot at both events of the Peter Murphy Classic last season and always steps up his game at big shows. Also looking to pocket a big payday are Chase Johnson of Penngrove, Dennis Roth Classic winner Justyn Cox from Roseville, Ryan Bernal from Hollister, current Rookie of the Year point leader Joey Ancona of Concord, Oakley teenager Dylan Bloomfield, Campbell veteran Bud Kaeding, Kaleb Montgomery of Templeton, Sebastopol's Joel Myers Jr., Tanner Holmes from Oregon, Tucson, Arizona's Nick Parker, Benicia's Billy Aton, Sparks, Nevada traveler Bill Smith, and many more!

- NARC 410 SPRINT CAR SERIES RETURNS TO CHICO ON SATURDAY FOR DAVID TARTER MEMORIAL
(5/2/23) Chico, California - The high-powered 900-horsepower NARC 410 Sprint Cars will be making their only appearance of the year at Silver Dollar Speedway on Saturday, May 6th for the 11th Annual David Tarter Memorial. At stake will be a $3,500.00 winner's payday to the winner of the 35-lap feature, plus other bonuses. The race is run in honor of David Tarter, who tragically lost his life on June 8th, 2012, in a freak pit accident at Silver Dollar. The event marks the fifth stop of the 22-race NARC campaign that travels throughout California, Oregon, and Washington. To date, the NARC series has produced three winners in four races, led by 17-year-old driving sensation Corey Day of Clovis, who has scored two victories. "After getting rained out earlier this season at Chico, it great to finally get a chance to return to Silver Dollar," said series GM Jim Allen. "This place is not only a fan favorite, but our teams love coming here also because the racing is always good. It's super-competitive and nobody ever runs away and hides at this track as proven at last year's Tarter Memorial. It was an exciting show and we expect more of the same." When you figure in lap leader money contributed by the Tarter Family and sponsors, this show represents a very lucrative payday for the winner. The top three drivers will earn lap money for each lap in the feature event ($50-$30-$20., so there are benefits to running up front. Since 2013, there have been five winners of the Tarter Memorial, including the all-time leader Kyle Hirst with five triumphs. Hirst is a four-time NARC King of the West champion. Corey Day is the defending race champion, while Sean Becker, Craig Stidham, and Justin Sanders join him as one-time winners. Twenty-six drivers have parked it at Chico's victory lane since 2001. Tim Kaeding has amassed the most triumphs with sixteen, while Jonathan Allard has done so nine times, and Brent Kaeding is a five-time winner. Corey Day won the lone event at SDS last season. Who to Watch Day has been a force to reckon with in 2023 with the NARC 410 Sprint Series. Racing for car owner and former World of Outlaw champion Jason Meyers, he has yet to finish off the podium all season. He currently leads Aromas driver Justin Sanders by 13-points and Fresno's Dominic Scelzi by 15. Two-time defending champion Scelzi got a big monkey off his back last week in Antioch by winning his first win with NARC in 2023. Dominic was third in the lone appearance that NARC made in 2022. However, he hit the "pay dirt" in 2021 for his sole Silver Dollar Speedway triumph in thirteen career series starts. Sanders looks to finally open his 2023 NARC winning account up at Chico for himself and car owner Demo Mittry. Two of his thirteen total NARC tour triumphs have come at Silver Dollar, achieved in 2019 and 2021. Of his seven starts at the quarter-mile clay oval, five have resulted in top-ten finishes, including last year when he posted a second-place finish and marked his fourth top-five. Sanders won this event in 2021, but that was when it was a 360 Sprint Car show. Shane Golobic is the defending Silver Dollar Speedway champion and wants to continue his commanding grip on the facility. Despite never winning a NARC-sanctioned event in Chico, the Fremont flyer has seven top fives and twelve top tens in nineteen main event starts. Last year Golobic finished sixth when the checkered flag dropped. Golobic will be returning to driver duties of the Works Limited #57 entry. Four-time Silver Dollar Speedway title winner Andy Forsberg will be competing. The Auburn-based racer has won a total of four NARC feature events in his stellar career. The most recent was April 5th, 2003. Forsberg has eight podiums, eleven fives, and twenty-three top-ten finishes in forty-three NARC starts. Sean Becker, from Roseville, will be at the site where he has captured seven track championships. Becker has won four times in NARC competition at Chico and 11 times overall. The 2005 NARC series champion, will be piloting the Antaya Motorsports 16A this weekend. He also won the first edition of the David Tarter Memorial in 2013 when it was an unsanctioned event. In fifty starts, Becker has generated thirty-four top tens, seventeen top fives, and nine podium finishes. Also competing in the stellar field on Saturday will be Chase Johnson of Penngrove, Justyn Cox and Ryan Bernal of Roseville, Oakley's Dylan Bloomfield, Kaleb Montgomery of Templeton, Campbell's Bud Kaeding, Joey Ancona of Concord, Benicia's Billy Aton, Oregon's Tanner Holmes, Bill Smith of Sparks, and Tucson's Nick Parker, and many more!

- DOMINIC SCELZI WINS CONTRA COSTA COUNTY CLASH NARC SPRINT CAR THRILLER
(4/29/23 - Ben Deatherage) Antioch, CA ... The NARC 410 Sprint Series returned to Antioch Speedway for the first time since 2017 and dished up a thrilling show. Dominic Scelzi managed to hold off a hard-charging Corey Day to procure his first win of 2023 with the series. It would be the 20th career triumph for the driver of the Scelzi Enterprises/Red Rose Transportation/Whipple Superchargers #41 Kistler/Maxim. "I'm amazed!" said an excited Scelzi. "I felt like I was setting a decent pace running high out of turn four with the lapped car running on the bottom was the place to be. This track was phenomenal and what we race car drivers dream of, and they nailed the surface tonight; you can't ask for any better." Joey Ancona paced the opening laps aboard his Dryco Construction/Swindell Speed Lab/Melrose Powder Coating #88A Rider/Maxim and set a torrid pace for the 20-car field. He was the class of the field until he spun while leading on lap nine. He managed to save the car but would lose the pacesetter position to Scelzi, who was anxious to take advantage of the opportunity. A breathtaking battle developed in the late stages as Scelzi tried to hold off the continued challenges of second row starter Day. The 17-year-old driver obtained the coveted position in the Jason Meyers-owned Meyers Constructors/Four C's Construction/Autry Plumbing #14 Kistler/KPC with about mile to go. However, it was a short-lived stint as Scelzi stole it right back on the following circuit. The stage was set for one last sprint to the checkered when the caution flag appeared on lap 26. However, Scelzi proceeded to master the restart and hold off Day to become the third different winner in four races. It was the first time the two-time defending series champ has won at Antioch Speedway and his first NARC victory since May 26th, 2022. Day finished a respectable second, just .352 seconds behind the winner. Joey Ancona rebounded from his earlier mishap to score his first ever NARC podium finish.

- NARC 410 SPRINT CARS MAKE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED RETURN TO ANTIOCH SPEEDWAY SATURDAY
(4/24/23 - Ben Deatherage) Antioch, California ... It has been several seasons since the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series has made the trip to Antioch Speedway in the East Bay of the Golden State. The 3/8-mile clay oval will host the traveling tour on Saturday, April 29th, for the "Contra Costa County Clash." "The Northern Auto Racing Club is looking forward to returning to Antioch Speedway," said NARC 410 Sprint Series General Manager Jim Allen. "It's been a long time, 2017 to be exact; and we anticipate putting on a good show at a facility that used to be a mainstay on the NARC schedule. Hopefully, this show will get something started for the future." This marks the fourth of 22 scheduled events that will visit 15 different dirt oval tracks in California, Oregon, and Washington. Thirteen drivers have hit pay dirt at Antioch since 2003 with the series out of their last twenty-one visits. Brent Kaeding and Jonathan Allard are tied with the most triumphs with four each. Giovanni Scelzi, who now competes full time on the World of Outlaw tour, scored the most recent Antioch outing on June 3rd, 2017. Who To Watch For Corey Day is one of the many NARC regulars that have yet to visit Antioch Speedway. The Clovis teenager, racing for car owner Jason Meyers, has yet to finish off the podium in the 2023 season and enters the vent as the championship point leader. Day is still the only driver to have more than one win in the current campaign. He has already won in Hanford and Tulare. Two-time defending champion Dominic Scelzi will be in series competition at Antioch for the first time in ten years. He ended the night seventh in 2013 and was sixth in his debut the year before. Despite two top five finishes this season, the Fresno driver is still looking for his first NARC win of the year. Justin Sanders hopes to score a significant result for the Mittry Racing Team in Antioch. He was tenth in his lone 410 appearance at the facility, but that was all the way back in 2011. The Aromas-based driver has amassed two podium finishes in three starts with the NARC series and is still on the cusp of that breakthrough win. The Bay Area will be well represented by the significant youth movement from Penngrove's Chase Johnson, Oakley teenager Dylan Bloomfield, Joey Ancona of Concord, and fresh from New Zealand Joel Myers Jr. representing Sebastopol. Amazingly all four drivers have Antioch experience, but none have it with the NARC series. Others expected in the star-studded field are Roseville's Justyn Cox, Andy Forsberg from Auburn, Bud Kaeding of Campbell, Benicia's Billy Aton, Shane Golobic from Fremont, Dylan Bloomfield of Oakley, Arizona driver Nick Parker, Nevada driver Bill Smith, and many more.

- Plenty Of Excitement On The Schedule At Antioch Speedway
Antioch, CA...There's plenty to be excited about at Antioch Speedway in the next few weeks. This Saturday night, four divisions of great racing competition will include the IMCA Sport Modifieds and Stock Cars, Pacific Coast General Engineering Hobby Stocks and Print Club Mini Stocks. This is just the beginning. Noteworthy dates coming soon include the first visit in years by the NARC Fujitsu Winged 410 Sprint Cars on April 29th, joined by IMCA Modifieds, a NorCal/Delta Dwarf Car shootout and IMCA Stock Cars. On May 3rd, Antioch hosts the first round of the five-race Central Valley Clash, featuring IMCA Modifieds, Sport Modifieds and Stock Cars. The Larry Damitz Memorial will have Tri State Pro Stocks, West Coast Hobby Stocks, IMCA Sport Modifieds and Hardtops on May 13th. After an exciting show last week, it looks like three-time champions Fred Ryland and Trevor Clymens, both of Brentwood, may be in for a battle this season. Ryland notched his division-leading 37th feature triumph last week, and it's also his 71st combined win. Ryland is now one win shy of third behind JD Willis on the all-time win list. The only other driver in Sport Modified competition with more than 20 wins is Clymens, who has 26 to his credit. Clymens and Ryland know that they can expect some good competition from the likes of reigning State champion Jacob Mallet Jr of Oakley, who finished in third last week. Antioch's Mark Garner followed up an impressive second place finish at Marysville recently with his fifth place run last Saturday night. Last week, Pacheco leadfoot Kenny Shrader led some early laps before pitting from second halfway through the race. He figures to be a threat anytime he's in action. Last year's Most Improved Driver, Jason Ryan Jr of Oakley, notched a heat race triumph earlier in the evening and an eighth place feature finish. Jason is hoping to get his first Main Event win this season. IMCA Stock Car fans know what this division is all about in it's third championship season at the track. These Stock Cars offer some of the best fendered car racing you're going to find in the area, and the competition level is getting tougher. Reigning champion Travis Dutra of Concord was consistent last season, but he didn't get his first win until the season finale. Dutra was making practice laps two weeks ago along with 2022 runner-up Jason Robles and Kenneth Robles, both of Rio Vista. Jason had two wins last year and finished within 20 points of Dutra for the title. He's hoping to step up his game and make a more serious championship run. After an impressive Top 10 effort in Modifieds last year, Kenneth is having his rookie season in Stock Cars. With hard chargers like last year's top rookie Jason Jennings of Antioch, Dan Gonderman of Antioch and Ryland, the racing should be exciting this week. Brentwood's Grayson Baca had somewhat of a breakout season last year as he competed for wins on several occasions and managed to get his car to the winners circle once. He lost a close battle with girlfriend Jewell Crandall of Antioch for fifth in the standings last year. At the opener, he won a three-car battle for second in the feature race behind San Jose's Matt Kile. Baca hopes to make multiple visits to the winner's circle this year. Another driver hoping to step up his game is last year's third ranked driver, Jared Baugh of Pittsburgh. He finished fourth in the opener. Dwarf Car champion Danny Wagner of Bay Point joined the action with a third place run, following his win at Merced the week before. With hard chargers like Michaela Taylor of Oakley, Crandall, Aidan Ponciano of Antioch and Antioch's James Graessle, It should be a good night of racing. On short notice, the Print Club Mini Stocks were added to the season opener and produced 10 cars. The track has been trying to build momentum in this class, and it seems to be coming together. San Bruno ace Dana Gardner won two post-season races last year after his third place point run. Showing how serious he is this time around, he managed to hold off Santa Rosa's Tom Brown to win the opener. Brown is the two-time reigning champion, but he was driving a backup car as his car is being freshened up. Last year's runner up, Laina Bales of Antioch, didn't fare so well at the opener. Rookie of the Year hopeful David Carson of Antioch had two cars at the opener but had to jump into his backup ride for the feature race as his car had mechanical issues in the heat race. Meanwhile, Santa Rosa rookie Max Finley wheeled his Pinto Wagon to a fourth place finish In his inaugural start. This division is the perfect place for newcomers to get a taste of racing at the 63-year-old racing facility. Saturday's four division lineup will offer some exciting racing all night long, and there's plenty of excitement surrounding the Winged 410 Sprint Car show coming on April 29th. The fun is just beginning at Antioch Speedway. The gates will open at 4:00 with the first race starting at 6:00. Adult tickets are $20, Senior/Military $15, Kids (5-12) $15 and kids five and under free.

- DJ Netto conquers the Thunderbowl for Kings of Thunder win at Dennis Roth Classic
Finding redemption this past Saturday at Thunderbowl Raceway former NARC champion DJ Netto claimed victory with the Kings of Thunder Sprint Cars during the Dennis Roth Classic.
- JUSTYN COX SCORES FIRST EVER NARC WIN: CONQUERS THE LUCRATIVE DENNIS ROTH CLASSIC AT THE THUNDERBOWL
(4/15/23 - Ben Deatherage) Tulare, California ... Front row starter Justyn Cox put together a near flawless performance and pocketed $18,383.00 for winning the final night of the Dennis Roth Classic with the NARC 410 Sprint Series. Racing the Bates-Hamilton Racing/Benefit RFP/Lippert Construction #42X Kistler/Maxim, Cox lead wire-to-wire in the 30-lap NAPA Auto Parts feature at Thunderbowl Raceway to score his first career series victory. Cox took command of the race from the initial green flag running high up on the cushion, inches from the wall. On the eighth-circuit he was presented with his first dose of lapped traffic, something he had to deal with on throughout the headliner. However, he managed to stay calm, cool, and collected as he zigged and zagged through slower cars, while banging the outer wall as he let it all hang out. Four total stoppages occurred, but Cox mastered all the restarts to hold off his competition. Corey Day, running for car owner Jason Meyers and piloting the Meyers Constructors/Four C's Construction/Autry Plumbing #14 Kistler/KPC, challenged Justyn numerous times but couldn't make it stick. Day had two opportunities with just five laps remaining to overtake Cox, but Cox answered the call. "I'm in disbelief!" stated the very excited and emotional winner. "I forgot to believe in myself last year, and I can't believe I'm up here! I've worked my entire life to do something cool, and we did it tonight. To win at Tulare is awesome, and anyone who knows me knows this track scares me, so to do that is simply amazing." Corey Day finished in a respectable runner-up and pocketed $9,000 for his efforts. He was chased to the checkered by tenth starter Justin Sander, racing for Demo Mittry in his Farmer's Brewing/North County Plastering/MittryConstruction.com #2X Speedway/Maxim. The rest of the top five consisted of the Works Limited #57W Speedway/EMI of Shane Golobic and Chase Johnson in the Toyota of Marin, Walnut Creek, and Sunnyvale/Price Family Dealerships #24 Kistler/Maxim. Rounding out the top ten was Chase Johnson, Washington driver Trey Starks, Bud Kaeding, Corey Eliason, Tim Kaeding, and defending series champ Dominic Scelzi. The Shane DeWald Trucking/NexGen Diesel Exhaust Fluid/RTR Diesel Performance #18T Rider/Maxim of Tanner Holmes earned the Williams Roofing Hard Charger Award after starting 20th and finishing 11th.

- COREY DAY WINS DENNIS ROTH CLASSIC PRELUDE WITH LATE RACE PASS AT TULARE
(4/14/23 - Ben Deatherage) Tulare, CA ... Eleventh starting Corey Day continued his tight grip of dominance in NARC 410 Sprint Series action as he won the Prelude To The Dennis Roth Classic at Thunderbowl Raceway. His winning ride in the 30-lap NAPA Auto Parts feature was the Jason Meyers-owned Meyers Constructors/Four C's Construction #14 Kistler-powered KPC. It is Day's eighth career victory with the tour for the Clovis kid and the first time he has bested the field at the Tulare County Fairgrounds 1/3-mile clay oval. The feature was a caution-plagued affair in the opening laps, including a lap one red flag incident. Shane Golobic, driving the Works Limited #57 Speedway/EMI, had the initial lead but got collected in the aforementioned stoppage. That gave the top position to Washington-hired gun Trey Starks, driving for Scelzi Motorsports. Starks, in the Scelzi Motorsports/Whipple Superchargers/Red Line Oil #4R Kistler/Maxim, had to deal with several restarts but managed to keep all challengers in check. However, Day built a boatload of positive momentum late in the race to maneuver via the bottom to his way to P1. Corey successfully obtained the top spot on lap twenty-seven to be the new trailblazer and held on the balance of the distance. "I didn't think my first Tulare win would have come like that!" said Corey Day, "People usually think I like only running top don't know I like running the bottom just as much. That was a good race for us. I have to take my hat off to Shane (Bowers) because we struggled early in the night, and he always makes the right decisions at critical times to get us where we need to be." Trey Starks managed to end the evening runner-up the while his teammate Dominic Scelzi, driving his Scelzi Motorsports/Whipple Superchargers/Red Line Oil #41 Kistler/Maxim, posted a third-place result. Cory Eliason, racing for Dennis and Theresa Roth for the first time since 2018, put the Roth Enterprises/HR Livestock Transportation/Roth Motorsports #83 Speedway/Maxim in fourth. Lastly, driving for car owner Demo Mittry, Justin Sanders completed the top five, in fifth, after having to come from the back in the Farmer's Brewing/North County Plastering/MittryConstruction.com #2X Shark Racing Engines/Maxim. Tim Kaeding, driving the Williams Motorsports/Dalton's Landscaping/Kiwi Transportation #0 Maxwell/Maxim, earned the Williams Roofing Hard Charger Award with a plus-thirteen run in the main event. The balance of the top ten was Ryan Bernal, Chase Johnson, Dylan Bloomfield, and Bud Kaeding.

- Joe Hunt Wingless Spec Sprint Tour comes To Antioch Speedway Saturday Night
Antioch, CA...There's a buzz in the air as racing has resumed at Antioch Speedway. Following last week's 63rd championship season opener, the fans are in for a real treat. The Joe Hunt Wingless Spec Sprint Tour kicks off their season at the Contra Costa County Fairgrounds oval, joined by the IMCA Sport Modifieds and the 600 Micro Sprints. Everyone knows that Antioch Speedway introduced the Wingless Spec Sprint division to the racing community In 1999 as an option to get newcomers into Sprint Car racing. The track will have its 25th championship season for that class this year. Other tracks followed the example of Antioch Speedway with a Spec Sprint division of their own, and eventually there was call for a series. First came the NCMA Select Series, but when that group left the dirt to run exclusively on pavement in 2010, a new option with needed. The Joe Hunt Wingless Spec Sprint Series was born. This series brings some of the best drivers in the class together for good competition and increased purses and contingencies. If you can win with this group, you can win anywhere. Seeing the need for a little something extra for last season's Soares Memorial, the Hunt Series with brought in last October and gave the Antioch crowd 28 cars and some great racing. Past series champion Shawn Jones of San Jose picked up the win that night ahead of Jake Morgan of Fair Oaks. Following last season's exciting tour, Morgan was crowned the series champion ahead of Josh Young of Roseville and Antioch's Shawn Arriaga Arriaga, who is a past Winged 360 Sprint Car champion at both Antioch and Petaluma, has been a factor in recent Wingless Spec Sprint races, including his win in the Sonny Calkins Memorial last season at Antioch Speedway, which netted him $2,500. He should be one of the front runners this week. A field into the high twenties or low thirties is anticipated, including such hard chargers as Nick Larson of Vallejo, Brent Steck of Roseville, Jarrett Soares of Gilroy, Shane Hopkins of Placerville, Ethon Lanfri of Milpitas and Livermore's Scott Chapeta. Previous attempts to get the IMCA Sport Modified season going have resulted in rainouts, but clear skies are in the forecast for this Saturday night. Last season, Fred Ryland of Brentwood won his third track championship and also scored his 70th overall career win at Antioch, moving him into fourth on the track's all time win list. He beat rising young star Andrew Pearce of Oakley by a slim margin. Oakley's Jacob Mallet Jr won the IMCA State championship last year. After winning the top rookie honors in IMCA Modifieds last year, three-time champion Trevor Clymens of Brentwood returns to Sport Modified competition this week. He figures to make his presence known at the front of the pack. Other stars to watch for include Chuck Golden of Pittsburg, Kenny Shrader of Pacheco, Tommy Fraser of Antioch and Jason Ryan Jr of Oakley. It was just announced on Sunday that the 600 Micro Sprints have been added to this week's show. Micro Sprint racing reigns at the smaller 1/5 mile ovals in Dixon and Stockton, so getting a date at Antioch when drivers can attend has become a challenge. Several drivers who travel up and down the road are hoping to take on the bigger oval this week. The division uses 600cc engines that still get around the track quite well. This division should be a nice touch to the overall program. The Hunt Series is just part of the Sprint Car excitement coming to Antioch this year. In addition to the local Wingless Spec Sprints, you can expect special visits from the NARC Winged 410 Sprint Cars on April 29th and the Sprint Car Challenge Tour Winged 360 Sprints on July 1st, among other great attractions throughout the season. The gates will open at 4:00 with the first race starting at 6:00. Adult tickets are $20, Senior/Military $15, Kids (5-12) $15 and kids five and under free.

- DENNIS ROTH CLASSIC DOUBLE HEADER AT TULARE NEXT ON TAP FOR NARC; $18,383 TO WIN ON SATURDAY NIGHT
(April 10, 2023 - Ben Deatherage), Tulare, CA ... Thunderbowl Raceway will feature two nights of incredible action this weekend as NAPA Auto Parts presents the NARC 410 Sprint Series for the Dennis Roth Classic. The Tulare 1/3-mile action track will host the tour on Friday, April 14th, and Saturday, the 15th, for the series' first doubleheader of the 2023 season. Saturday night will have a fantastic payout of $18,383.00 to the winner. Rico Abreu won the race last year in an electrifying battle in the main event. "This race is a true honor to Dennis and Teresa Roth." said Roth Motorsports Team Manager Todd Ventura. "Fellow competitors and Dennis' peers were the ones that wanted to have this event. When you have people with that amount of respect for you like Brent Kaeding, Jim Allen, and Ashley Smith who talked about it and made it come together, we are honored to be a part of it." Dennis Roth and his wife, Teresa, are longtime Sprint Car supporters nationwide. Their race team, Roth Motorsports, boasts over 100 World Of Outlaw feature victories and multiple titles in California. "It's a big deal for us because Dennis has been a great supporter of this race track," commented Steve Faria, promoter of Thunderbowl Raceway. "He's a special friend and we're trying to make something special out of it." Thunderbowl Raceway, since 2001, has had twenty-six different winners in the last fifty-six shows that the NARC 410 Sprint Series has put on. The house of Kaeding has reigned supreme as they are level at the top with seven wins each for Brent and Tim. Amazingly sixteen drivers have accomplished just a single triumph over the years. "It's an honor to be able to put on this race for Dennis Roth," stated NARC 410 Series General Manager Jim Allen, "he's done so much for motorsports, and this is a real-world and real-life tribute that we are proud to honor those contributions." Who to Watch Corey Day is coming off an incredible win at Kings Speedway last weekend at the Anthony Simone Classic. It was his seventh career NARC 410 Sprint Series triumph in twenty-eight starts. The Clovis teenager was third at last year's Roth Classic, and this is the only time he has been on the podium at the Thunderbowl with the tour. Aromas driver Justin Sanders was the runner-up to Day last Saturday in Hanford. Over the years at Thunderbowl, Justin has netted just one top five, a fourth at last year's Roth, and two tens in five career NARC 410 Sprint Series starts at the track. Tim Kaeding is again teaming up with the famed Williams Motorsports #0 team. As mentioned above, the San Jose driver was sixth at the Simone last weekend and is tied with Brent Kaeding, for the most wins at Tulare. TK was seventh in the 2022 edition of the Roth Classic and, on top of his seven wins, has ten podiums, fourteen Top 5s, and twenty-one Top 10s in thirty-one starts. Kraig Kinser of Bloomington, Indiana, will make a guest appearance with the NARC 410 Sprint Series. He has four career starts with the series, all in 2015, co-sanctioned with the World Of Outlaws, and just one top ten result. That was a tenth-place result at Tulare on March 14th. Bud Kaeding is a driver to be on the lookout for, as the Campbell chauffeur knows how to pilot his way around the 1/3-mile clay oval. Bud has three career NARC 410 Sprint Series victories at the facility, most recently in 2018, in thirty-eight starts since 2001. Kaeding is also second on the all-time modern era list in the podium (14), Top 5 (20), and Top 10 (30) categories, with an average finish of 7.57. Also expected to compete will be Lemoore's Cole Macedo, Fremont standout Shane Golobic, Tanner Holmes of Jacksonville, Oregon, Penngrove pilot Chase Johnson, two-time defending series champion Dominic Scelzi from Fresno, Clarksburg driver Justyn Cox, Ryan Bernal from Roseville, Oakley's Dylan Bloomfield; Templeton's Kaleb Montgomery, Nick Parker from Tuscon, and many more!

- DAY WOWS HANFORD CROWD AT ANTHONY SIMONE CLASSIC; BERNAL TAKES NON-WING FEATURE
(4/8/23 - By Ben Deatherage) Hanford, California ... Seventeen-year-old Corey Day outgunned race leader Justin Sanders in an entertaining NARC 410 Sprint Car Series season opener during the 30-lap NAPA Auto Parts Anthony Simone Classic at King Speedway. It was Day's seventh career series victory and it was worth a stout $10,000 payday. Day started sixth in the 25-car grid aboard the potent Meyers Constructors #14 sprint car and wasted no time powering his way to the front. Sanders, who started on the pole in the Mittry Family sprinter, quickly built a comfortable gap over the rest of the field before the first stoppage on lap four. However, he would have his hands full on the restart with a Day who had already moved up to the runner-up spot.. Day would overtake Sanders coming to the line on lap seven. However, another caution flag appeared before the circuit was completed, and Sanders reclaimed the lead. The third and final incident of the feature was with six laps completed. From there on out, it would be a fierce dogfight with twenty-four clicks running incident free. As lapped traffic became a significant factor, Sanders would have to make critical passes with the tail end of the field. Day also quickly dispatched the slower cars and kept Sanders in his crosshairs. With laps running down quickly, and the two playing a highspeed game of cat and mouse, Day made his winning move on the 23rd circuit. From there on out, the Clovis teenager was dominant building a significant lead as he raced to the checkered. "That was probably the best we've ever been here in Hanford; we were lights out," said Day in victory lane. "I had a feeling we were going to have a long green flag run there. "I have to give huge hats off to Shane (Bowers)" continued Day. "It was on rails, and we struggled all night with car speed. I was having to drive it hard to keep up with the pace they were setting." Justin Sanders had to settle for second, chased by the Works Limited machine driven by Shane Golobic. Chase Johnson powered from fourteenth to end the night in fourth, while defending series champion Dominic Scelzi rounded out the top five finishing order. Tim Kaeding, Justyn Cox, Oregon driver Tanner Holmes, Bud Kaeding, and Kaleb Montgomery rounded out the top 10. Sean Becker claimed the Williams Roofing Hardcharger award with his 24th to 11th effort. A Non-Wing, non-points feature was run at the very end of the night. It is the second time that NARC has sanctioned a wingless event since 1985. Ryan Bernal dominated the topless 15-lapper for his first ever NARC victory. Bernal, running for car owner Keith Day, would pace the field the entire distance to win his first NARC-sanctioned event. "I felt so at home being in a non-wing car," commented Ryan, "hats off to Peter (Murphy, promoter at Kings Speedway) for changing stuff up. It's great to add something extra for the fans to see." Corey Day and Chase Johnson were second and third at the finish line. Campbell's Bud Kaeding ended the race fourth over fifth, finishing ahead Dawson Faria from Tipton. The event drew thirty teams from California, Oregon, Nevada, and Arizona for a crowd thirsty for racing.

- NARC NEWSLINE - APRIL 4, 2023
NARC NEWSLINE - APRIL 4, 2023, By Jim Allen ... Let's be honest, motorsports have taken some serious blows in the past three years. First, we got hit with COVID-19, then a totally unexpected tire shortage, and now a lunatic Mother Nature of California acting like she's got the world's worst case of PMS. The Golden State headlines are dominated by record rainfall, storms, and flooding that has forced the cancellation and postponement of many racing events. Meteorologist's call it an "Atmospheric River." I think I speak on behalf of everybody reading this column when I call it a "pain in the butt." It's one thing to rain, but to have so water that most dirt track infields resemble fishing ponds doesn't work. There is literally no place left for it to drain. Social media is loaded with track photos showing newfound lakes, ponds, swamps, leaking levees, and flooding. The Tulare Fairgrounds is now a disaster relief center for animals after a recent levee break. The Kings Speedway overflow pond is full and there is no place to pump the water unless the neighboring airport wants to start practicing water landings. The grounds surrounding the Stockton Dirt Track resemble swamp lands in Florida and I'm waiting for an alligator to crawl up to the staging area. Then there is Silver Dollar Speedway where haulers entering the pits would be like a tagline for a horror movie: "They all went in, but nobody came out." It's more suited for Monster Trucks. And for places like Petaluma, Merced, Antioch, Watsonville, Placerville, KCRP, and Santa Maria, pumping water is part of the morning ritual. In the meantime, racing teams are getting anxious, promoters wonder when it will end, and fans are enduring some serious withdrawals. And the main reason we dislike it is because we can't do anything about it. It's totally out of our control. Don't you hate when that happens? Promoter Tony Noceti was all geared up for his big April 1st Asparagus Cup at Stockton but got cannonballed in the days leading up to the show, completely drenching the place. He held out for as long as he could but was forced to pull the proverbial plug two days before the show. At that point, social media lit up like the press coverage of Donald Trump going to New York, proclaiming the show should be moved to Placerville Speedway or Kern County Raceway Park. Contrary to belief, we looked into one of those options but with just 48 hours' notice, it just couldn't happen. Contrary to belief, racetracks gear up for events, not just open the gate on race day and hope there is beer and food and people to work the facility. Then there is the other wild card and that is the racer and the fan correlation. We know 100%, beyond a reasonable doubt, that most teams will show up naked to race lawnmowers in the snow. One thing they don't do is race for free and without a large crowd, the promoter's wallet would bleed red ink like it was in a spaghetti strainer. That's not a workable scenario. So now, we just wait. HEY JIM, DID YOU MENTION SANTA MARIA? By design, I actually did. Many of you are asking questions about the beleaguered facility. Is it still open? Will NARC go there again? Is the track up for sale? I heard there is five races scheduled this year - is that true? And your answers are … SORT OF, WE WANT TO, YUP, and PROBABLY. But seriously, what is happening at Santa Maria Raceway would make Doug Fort roll over in his grave. What most people think is that the encroaching housing development hates racing, and the track is being sued into non-existence. While there is some truth in that statement, it's really not that way - in a twisted sort of way. Let me explain: What the housing development has a problem with is the other "entertainment activities" that take place at the track. And we are not talking about something underhanded like a gambling hall or a strip club. Promoter Nick Duggan and his group of track investors had great plans for the iconic facility and discovered a gold mine opportunity by adding "Mexican Rodeos" to the mix. It would help make ends meet in a tough business. To put the Mexican Rodeo's in real world terms, it's are absolutely huge. They literally make a crowd at a World of Outlaws show look like small family picnic. SMR was literally packed with families enjoying the rodeo, live music, and other related activities. And they left the place cleaner than when they found it. That's a WIN that also happens to reel in local community involvement and support for the facility. According to legal documents filed by resident lawyers in the neighboring subdivision, it was stated that the Raceway needed an "entertainment license" if they held any activities besides racing. Not to mention, they also want to require a $100,000 EPA Study to make sure the ground was safe for farm animals and touring rock bands. So, the track went to PLAN B in an attempt to placate the locals. Duggan & Company did the right thing and secured the license and incorporated a little "off-road racing" into the next two Mexican Rodeo events. Sounds reasonable, eh? The best of all worlds, right? NOPE! The homeowner's association felt that effort bypassed the intention of what they were trying to accomplish and stated there wasn't enough racing to make it a "racing" event. Somewhere in the middle of all that, they also wanted half of the revenue from those events. Shortly thereafter, the aforementioned entertainment license was rescinded by San Luis Obispo County officials and the track was fined $25,000. Man, you can't make this stuff up! The good news is because the Raceway was an established facility, several local establishments went to bat for the track, including the police and fire departments. They wrote letters and eventually, the fine was dropped down to $5,000. While that was good, it's still a fine for $5000. Just pile that on top of the other $200,000 in legal fees and just about anybody of sane mind and body would wonder why Duggan didn't invest in a Quick Quack Car Wash instead. To put those expenses in perspective, that would take a few successful racing seasons to recuperate - and that is if nothing else goes wrong. At this juncture, the track is still up for sale. If you have $2.7M burning a hole in your pocket or laying around in your 401K, Santa Maria Raceway could be the business of your dreams (or nightmares if local lawyers continue on their mission.) But don't wait too long because the land may be more valuable than the track itself. A storage unit company offered $1.8M and wanted one-year of due diligence to make sure they were not assuming an assortment of hidden liabilities. That didn't get accepted. Camping World also stepped up to the offer table with $2.2M, which also included an extended "no racing" holding period. However, that offer got pulled back when it was discovered the facility is geographically in a flood plain. To build a Camping World would require prior approval by … you ready for this … FEMA, Fish & Game, and the Army Corp of Engineers which maintains and fixes any levee issues. Then there is the ultimate trump card. It's called CEQA, which is the California Environmental Quality Act. It requires state and local government to inform decision makers and the public about potential environmental impacts of proposed projects and to reduce them. So based on that statement which I borrowed off Google, if we all step back for just a second and take a deep breath, it's actually easier to keep Santa Maria Raceway a racing facility than to actually build on the property. They just can't do rodeos, concerts, gambling, flea markets, or strip club related activities. In the meantime, track manager David Castaneda has scheduled a few events in an attempt to keep the track relevant. While this is going on, legal expenses, fines, and property tax bills still need to be paid and facility maintenance needs to keep moving forward. It might not be a winnable battle. Castaneda, who actually received a few death threats when the track was initially closed, has a handful of USAC/CRA events scheduled this summer (hopefully). The ownership group is also open for a third-party to come in and promote an event on their own. There have been a few inquiries, but nothing serious yet. Could it be that they are leery of possibly becoming a defendant on a legal document? Does this answer all of your questions, or just leave you shaking your head in disbelief? I can see the heads shaking now! No, this isn't another April Fools story, this is the real deal! If we think that the likes of Kyle Larson, Brad Sweet, Tony Stewart and Jeff Gordon are going to ante up millions to buy tracks out of the goodness of their hearts, it probably isn't a realistic expectation. In addition to being successful race car drivers, they are successful businessmen. Most investors demand a return on their initial investment within a five-year period. A $2M racetrack purchase equates to cashing out $400,000 a year. That might happen at a Knoxville or Eldora, but probably not at a dirt track in California. If our racetracks were netting $400,000 per year, we would see Tony Noceti, Scott Russell, Steve Faria and Rick Faeth and others lined up doing the doing the "happy dance" on the front straightaway. (I apologize for that visual.) Now you have to admit, after reading this, the problems at Calistoga Speedway don't seem so bad compared to Santa Maria. The reality is there is a lot of work to be done and it's not just at those two tracks. Perris Auto Speedway is located smack dab in the middle of a proposed State water project and a legal battle related to make the Perris Dam more earthquake safe. State officials want to close the facility to do the work with the promise it will be completed by 2025. Sure, you betcha! And I've got some swamp land at the Stockton Dirt Track I would like to sell you or review the timeline and budget of something called the "Bullet Train to nowhere." (For news on the Perris situation, go here … https://www.pressenterprise.com/2022/09/04/perris-dam-project-threatens-perris-auto-speedway-fairgrounds-businesses-lawsuit-alleges/) We also heard through the grapevine that several hotel chains are drooling over the property that is now Ventura Speedway. Ocean views and a beach just 100 yards from the front lobby is in the Embassy Suites business handbook. The bottom line is we can only dream about some big motorsport icons coming in to purchase Calistoga Speedway and restore it to its 2019 pre-covid luster. Or maybe a race fan will win one of those gigantic billion-dollar Powerball lotteries and take care of everything. It's probably has the same odds. Now the purpose of sharing all of this information is not to get you depressed or upset. Just know that your beloved racetracks are under attack and promoters are fighting hard to save them. Some of those promoters are literally backed into a corner. If you really want to step up for dirt track racing, we need you to sit down - like in a seat at your local dirt track on race day. And while you are at it, bring a friend, or two. We need packed grandstands at every motorsports event in California. Maybe then, somebody will take notice and realize that the racing community pumps a lot of money into the local economy, and we are one of the best marketing demographics in the U.S.A. Amen! NARC NOTES: Fire suppression systems are mandatory by May 1st. An informal poll of NARC regulars show most are way ahead of the curve and are already installed. … It sure is nice to see racetracks finally offering "SEASON PASSES" to diehard race fans. … Joel Myers Jr. is taking no prisoners in New Zealand these days. He is winning everything back there and hopes to parlay that into a few NARC victories this season. … Along those lines, there are a ton of young drivers on the NARC tour looking to take the next step in their careers. Who will win their first NARC feature event of their career this season? Your choices are, in no particular order, Dylan Bloomfield, Max Mittry, Blake Carrick, Kaleb Montgomery, Joel Myers Jr., Tanner Holmes, Nick Parker, Tanner Carrick, Cole Macedo and Joey Ancona. That is one heck of a heat race if you put them all together. … … We welcome some new sponsors to our ranks this year including NAPA Auto Parts, Beacon Wealth Strategies, Williams Roofing, Diversified Machine, LifelineUSA, & D & D Roofing. We couldn't do it without them. If you have a lead on a presenting sponsor for our series, please contact me. Please support those who support sprint car racing. … As you may have seen, Ben Deatherage is our new Media Specialist this season, replacing Alex Nieten who now works for the World of Outlaws. He has already created some great marketing pieces and authors a new column called "NARC BY THE NUM*ER5! Make sure you check it out. You can also listen to his Inside NARC interviews online and his multitude of interviews on Highside Racing Promotions. … You can catch NARC on Floracing, but as I stated earlier, we really need you at the track. … Tim Kaeding needs a full-time 410 ride. … It is going to be nice to see a little more of Andy Forsberg and Sean Becker this season. Both have more 410 events on their schedule. … Let the High Limit races begin! ... For those of you who may be interested in some golf during the Fastest Four Days in Motorsports adventure, send me a DM. I'm planning to fill in some downtime. And finally, we've got a ton of racing coming up. Peter Murphy is hard at it to make sure Kings Speedway is race-ready for Saturday's (4/8/23) $10,000 to win Anthony Simone Classic. The pit area might not be perfect when we arrive, but the alternative is sitting at home surfing crap-shows on Netflix for the 300th time. I'll take racing for $10,000 Alex! This show also includes a 15-lap non-wing NARC feature. By the way, if you get a chance, make sure you stop by the NAPA Auto Parts store in Hanford between 10:00 a.m. and NOON on Saturday. Our two-time NARC champion Dominic Scelzi will have his hauler and car on display and will be signing autographs. And ... possibly handing out some free stuff. The address is 380 W 8th St, Hanford, CA 93230. We follow up the Simone show with the highly anticipated Dennis Roth Classic on April 14-15th at the Thunderbowl Raceway. The winner will walk away with $18,383 on Saturday night. The extra $83 comes via a contribution by Brad Kennedy in case you were wondering. Look for Roth Motorsports to have two or three cars running in the event. By the way, in addition to the enhanced purse, individual event winners take home a Roth ice chest full of meat. Fast time is worth 10 lbs. of New York Strip. Heat race winners take home 20 lbs. of Tri-Tip. And the Dennis Roth Classic winner will be loaded up with 30 lbs. of Ribeye. Of course, the Sunnyvalley Dash winner takes home 10 lbs. of the best bacon on the planet. A clean sweep of the program comes with a free cholesterol check. We conclude the month of April - Mother Nature permitting - on April 29th. The NARC 410 sprint cars will be returning to Antioch Speedway for the first time since 2017. Everybody is pretty stoked about the Contra Costa County Clash. We will see you there! Coming to you live from Auburn, CA. See ya.
- The $10,000-to-win Anthony Simone Classic launches Kings Speedway season Saturday
With Mother Nature finally voicing her approval, the Kings Speedway β Powered by Keller Motors is excited to christen a new season on Saturday with the "Anthony Simone Classic," headlined by the NARC 410 Sprint Cars.
- $10,000 T0 Win Anthony Simone Classic Looks To Lead Off 2023 NARC 410 Sprint Series Season
(April 3, 2023 - Ben Deatherage) Hanford, CA ... For the third time in about as many weeks, the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series, presented by NAPA Auto Parts, hopes to fire off the 2023 season in California. The previous two races have been washed away due to wet weather but that streak will end when the tour heads to Kings Speedway for the Anthony Simone Classic on Saturday, April 8th. Good weather is in the forecast and the winner of the 30-lap NAPA headliner will pocket a cool $10,000 at the end of the night. "We've been waiting for the weather the change so that we can race," commented Kings Speedway promoter Peter Murphy. "Hopefully we can be one of the first ones to get going here so everyone can come out and celebrate racing again, especially with the Anthony Simone being 'Mr. Excitement' as he was as last year's race you had to be there." It will be the third edition of the Anthony Simone Classic, a tradition that began in 2021. Shane Golobic of Fremont won the inaugural event, while the defending race winner is Rico Abreu. Returning to the program will be a non-wing, non-points race to cap the night off. The only time this happened was in the first incarnation of the event, and Indiana driver Tyler Courtney won it. It also was the first time since 1985 that NARC sanctioned a wingless event. "I appreciate the NARC Series, Peter Murphy, and everybody at Kings Speedway that's going to put this race on," said Anthony Simone's son Mauro, "It's a great way to get everybody together, and it's a great race. My dad started running NARC all the way back in 1978." Of the twenty-seven winners in the past fifty-three trips to Kings, Tim Kaeding has amassed the most wins since 2001 with eight trips to victory. In addition, Brent Kaeding has bagged five trophies, while Jonathan Allard and Dominic Scelzi have four each. Who to Watch D.J. Netto will make a hometown stand at Kings looking for his first win with the NARC 410 Sprint Series at Hanford. Netto has accumulated four podiums finishes, seven Top 5s, and seventeen Top 10s in twenty starts. Last season, D.J. won at the Stockton Dirt Track, the fifth of his career in 148 starts with the group. Roseville's Justyn Cox looks forward to hitting the 3/8-mile in the Bates Hamilton Racing #42X entry. Cox posted his lone podium finish of the 2022 campaign with the NARC 410 Sprint Series at Kings and went along with his total of two Top 5s and three Top 10s in six starts in Hanford. Cox is running his first full NARC season since 2016 when he finished third in the final championship standings. Justyn has qualified for forty-one main events throughout his career with the tour and has nineteen Top 10s and five Top 5s. Dylan Bloomfield only made nine starts with the NARC 410 Sprint Series last season in the famed Dave Vertullo #83V machine. Nevertheless, the Oakley teenager had two Top 10 results, one happening at Hanford on October 8th during the Morrie Williams Memorial. He will be representing a large contingent of young drivers that include last seasons rookie of the year Max Mittry of Redding, Clovis driver Corey Day, Joey Ancona of Concord, Templeton driver and Oregon driver Tanner Holmes.

- NARC BY THE NUMBERS!: THE STOCKTON DIRT TRACK
(3/28/23) ... Stockton, California- As the NARC 410 Sprint Series gets set for the 2023 season opener at Stockton Dirt Track, here is some numbers to look at heading into the Asparagus Cup. First, this is the third straight year that the tour has opened its campaign and the second consecutive year that NARC has been a part of the Asparagus Cup. The NARC 410 Sprint Series began visiting the Stockton Dirt Track in 2013. Thirteen drivers have tamed the field in the previous twenty-three visits, with Fresno's Dominic Scelzi having the most success at three wins. Eight drivers have amassed two victories, while only four are one-time winners. Two drivers earned their first NARC 410 Sprint Series triumphs at the Stockton DT. Dominic Scelzi did it on August 3rd, 2013, while Sean Watts accomplished the same feat on June 22nd, 2019. It is the only series win for the Atwater native of Watts. Something noteworthy is that Clovis teenager Corey Day, on November 6th, 2021, and Shane Golobic from Fremont, on November 2nd, 2014, achieved their second career wins with NARC. In addition to Scelzi leading the all-time Stockton NARC win list, he is also in the upper echelon of some other categories. Dominic ties for second in podiums (7) and is part of a three-way tie for most Top 5s (9) when NARC has competed at Stockton. He is situated fourth in all-time starts (17) and has an average finish of 7.29. 2021 and 2022 winner D.J. Netto may be one win off the all-time Stockton NARC win list, but he leads in four other categories. The Hanford driver has the most podiums (9), Top 5s (11), Top 10s (18), and Starts (22). He also boasts an average finish of 6.13, the third-best on the list. Tim Kaeding has the best average finish at the facility, scoring 4.69 from thirteen starts. The Campbell chauffeur procured wins in 2016 and 2019 and sits tied second on the all-time Stockton NARC list for podiums (7) with Scelzi and a three-way tie in Top 5s (9). In addition to Golobic's second career NARC victory in 2014, he also parked it in victory lane in November of 2019. Shane is fourth on the average finish table with a 6.56 from eleven starts. Shane is tied for third in Stockton NARC Top 5s (9) with Dominic Scelzi and TK. He is also level with Mitchell Faccinto for third in the Top 10 (14) category list. The same two pilots are currently fifth on the all-time starts list (16) when the series rolled into "California's Sunrise Seaport". Bud Kaeding is another notable Stockton performer. Earning victories in 2016 and 2019, the Campbell driver is second on the all-time Stockton NARC list in Top 5s (10), Top 10s (16), and starts (21). His average finish is 7.33. Amazingly, no driver has been able to win consecutively at Stockton. Entering the April 1st event, the current track record is 12.543 by Donny Schatz on September 13th, 2019. 106 competitors have taken a green flag at the Stockton Dirt Track in NARC competition.

After a delay of a couple of weeks, Sprint Car fans will get a chance to converge towards the Stockton Dirt Track for the first race of the 2023 NARC 410 Sprint Series presented by Napa Auto Parts. The 3/8-mile San Joaquin County Fairground speed factory will have the series be a part of their coveted Asparagus Cup weekend for the second straight year and third consecutive season the tour has opened at the facility. Roseville's Colby Copeland won the 2022 Asparagus Cup. "I'm very excited for the return of the NARC 410 Sprint Series here for the Asparagus Cup," commented Tony Noceti, promoter of the Stockton Dirt Track. "It should be a great show, and the weather should be just fine." The NARC 410 Sprint Series began visiting the Stockton Dirt Track in 2013. Thirteen drivers have tamed the field in the previous twenty-three visits, with Fresno's Dominic Scelzi having the most success with three wins. Eight drivers have amassed two victories, while only four are one-time winners. "We are extremely grateful that mother nature has finally given us the opportunity to go Sprint Car racing," said NARC 410 Sprint Series General Manager Jim Allen, making reference to the originally scheduled March 18th show in Chico that was rained out. "Teams are anxious to go racing again and the Stockton Dirt Track is an extremely fast venue ready to make that happen." Also joining the program will be the Sprint Car Challenge Tour, Joe Hunt Magnetos Wingless Sprint Series, and the Legends of the Kearney Bowl.

However, he won in the series debut at the track on August 3rd, 2013, and a triumph on June 13th, 2015, while his most recent trip to victory lane was on August 28th, 2021. Corey Day will be one to watch when the NARC 410 Series rolls into town. The Clovis teenager won the November date in 2021 at SDT and was among his six wins with the tour in the last few seasons. Day has two career series top ten performances in three starts at the "Asparagus Capital of America". Aromas' Justin Sanders already has victories to his credit this offseason. Justin managed to best the fields at Brisbane, Queensland's Archerfield Speedway, and Eastern Creek Speedway in New South Wales over in Australia. He has also won to 360 sprint car races already this year. Two of his thirteen total tour triumphs have come at Stockton, achieved in 2020 and last November. His eight starts at the track had resulted in four top ten finishes, including last year when he was sixth at the Asparagus Cup on April 2nd and won the Tribute To Gary Patterson, which marked his third top five. In addition, Sanders achieved touring victories with NARC at the Stockton Dirt Track and Watsonville's Ocean Speedway last season. Shane Golobic is another driver returning to "California's Sunrise Seaport". The Fremont flyer has two wins, eight top fives, and fourteen top tens in sixteen starts at the facility. Last year Golobic never finished outside the top five when the checkered flag dropped and included a runner-up result on July 23rd. In 2022, Shane claimed his fourteenth career NARC 410 Sprint Series win when he beat the competition at The Dirt Track at Kern County Raceway Park in Bakersfield last October. Third-place in series points last year, Bud Kaeding has won twice at Stockton. Representing Campbell, Kaeding has started twenty-one events at the 3/8-mile oval and has been among the top ten on sixteen occasions, including wins in 2016 and 2019.

- THE STOCKTON DIRT TRACK HOSTS THE NARC 410 SPRINT CAR SEASON OPENER ON SATURDAY
After a delay of a couple of weeks, Sprint Car fans will get a chance to converge towards the Stockton Dirt Track for the first race of the 2023 NARC 410 Sprint Series presented by Napa Auto Parts. The 3/8-mile San Joaquin County Fairground speed factory will have the series be a part of their coveted Asparagus Cup weekend for the second straight year
- After Rainouts And Flooding, Racing Season Set To Start At Antioch Speedway
Antioch, CA...This Saturday night, Antioch Speedway has a loaded program as the 63rd season of championship auto racing is set to begin. Weather permitting, the trifecta of IMCA, Modifieds, Sport Modifieds and Stock Cars, will be joined by the Pacific Coast General Engineering Hobby Stocks, Delta Dwarf Cars and United States Auto Club Western States Miidgets. Wet weather leading up to Saturday could postpone things again. Antioch, like much of the state, has seen more rain this winter than has been seen in several years. The rain hit the track so hard that you could have had a fishing contest on the flooded racing surface back in February. With water pumps and a diligently working track crew, the track is expected to be ready on Saturday as long as the weather allows the six-division show to happen. Back in February, the track did manage to make an awards banquet happen to celebrate last season. This has not been a given for the track in recent years. Due to COVID-19, the track couldn't even have fans in the grandstands in 2020 when they held races, and the banquet was a non-starter. The banquet was set to happen early in 2022, which would celebrate the previous season, but COVID-19 regulations kept the gathering from happening again. However, last year was the first season since 2019 in which fans were able to attend every race. There were no restrictions in place. A last minute effort was put together for the banquet, which took place at the Contra Costa County Fairgrounds in February. With some sponsorship and teamwork from throughout the racing community, champions in eight divisions were crowned in February. Drivers earning the big trophies included Nick DeCarlo (IMCA Modifieds), Fred Ryland (IMCA Sport Modifieds), Travis Dutra (IMCA Stock Cars), Misty Welborn (Pacific Coast General Engineering Hobby Stocks), Shannon Newton (Wingless Spec Sprints), Jim Freethy (Super Stocks), Danny Wagner (Delta Dwarf Cars) and Tom Brown (Print Club Mini Stocks). The Top 10 drivers in each division were honored along with Most Improved Driver and Rookie of The Year awards in all classes, plus special awards. Track Photographer Katrina Kniss also had some special awards for the Top 3 drivers in each class. The gala event was nearly at capacity, and the interesting part was something was attempted that had never been done before. This was a free to attend event for the racing community, which also included a spaghetti meal and beverages. A live band ended the night on a positive note. Drivers were speaking of their enthusiasm coming into the new season, It's a clean slate. That means a new opportunity for drivers to run for points in the popular IMCA divisions, which always garner lots of attention from the fans. The Hobby Stocks were noteworthy last year in bringing the biggest car count week in and week out. If the five regular divisions on the schedule aren't enough, there's a special attraction on Saturday. Promoter Chad Chadwick and Race Director Chris Bennett worked diligently to give the fans several special events of interest, and more open wheel racing will be a part of it. For the first time ever, the United States Auto Club Western States Miidgets will compete at Antioch Speedway, and this is just their first visit of the year. These fast wingless open wheel cars have been a popular form of racing in California since the 1930s. Later on this year, the fans will be treated to NARC Winged 410 Sprint Cars, Sprint Car Challenge Tour Winged 360 Sprint Cars and Hunt Wingless Spec Sprints, among the many special events that will be a part of things in the weeks ahead. The track's website has the schedule listed along with other vital information, and it's always a good idea to keep an eye on the social media pages. The IMCA Modifieds are the longest continuously tenured division currently in the lineup, having had championship seasons every year since 1990. DeCarlo enjoyed his second Antioch championship last year. The Sport Modifieds have a slightly bigger car count and will have intense competition this year, while the Stock Cars continue to gain more competitors among their ranks. They are poised to have a breakout season. Add in all the other elements, and Saturday night is a must see event for racing enthusiasts. The gates will open at 4:00 with the first race starting at 6:00. Adult tickets are $20, Senior/Military $15, Kids (5-12) $15 and kids five and under free.

A three-peat has been accomplished by only two drivers in NARC's more than six decades of competition, and Dominic Scelzi will have the opportunity to become just the third as 2023 gets underway. Bill Sullivan was the first to claim three consecutive championships when he did so from 1964 to 1966. Unsurprisingly, the lone other occupant of this exclusive list is the series' winningest all-time driver, Brent Kaeding. BK strung together a whopping nine straight titles beginning in 1993 and concluding in 2001. Scelzi has been astonishingly consistent during his two championship campaigns. In his 42 series starts over the past two seasons, the Fresno native has posted 10 wins, bagged 26 podiums, and logged a 5.2 average finish. The 25-year-old is the only driver since the turn of the century to earn at least 13 podiums in two straight NARC seasons. One roster adjustment to the Scelzi Motorsports crew that aligns with "The Dominator's" elevated performance is the addition of Jimmy Carr. The legendary crew chief came aboard in 2020, and he's helped make the No. 41 one of the fastest machines on the west coast. Carr will be back in 2023 as he looks to help Scelzi make history. Bud's Back for More Last year Bud Kaeding finished on the NARC points podium for the seventh time in the last eight seasons, and he's planning to return with hopes of another consistent season. The pilot of the iconic BK Racing No. 69 is pursuing his second championship after claiming the 2017 title driving for Morrie Williams. The 2022 campaign proved to be a solid one for the Campbell native as he collected 14 top-10s on his way to a third-place effort in the standings. However, Kaeding will look to finish a little closer to the front in 2023 as his top-five tally was a little less than normal with three. Cox Returns For the first time since his Rookie of the Year campaign in 2016, Justyn Cox will be chasing a NARC title. During that season seven years ago, Cox collected 13 top-10s in 19 races on his way to a third-place effort in the points. That year he was driving for his family team, and in 2023 he'll be behind the wheel of the Bates-Hamilton Racing No. 42X. Cox is familiar with the BHR crew. The Clarksburg native filled in for an injured Tim Kaeding back in 2018 to help them secure the Sprint Car Challenge Tour owner's title, and the pairing nearly won Trophy Cup that year. They reunited in the second half of 2022 following the team parting ways with Kaeding. After some impressive results including Cox's personal best finish with NARC of second at Keller Auto Speedway, they decided to team up for this year with their sights on a NARC championship. Sophomore Year Ahead for Mittry After a successful debut season with NARC that resulted in claiming the 2022 Rookie of the Year honors, Max Mittry is returning for his sophomore campaign. Last year Mittry planned to run only select NARC events, but some early impressive results motivated him to take on the full campaign. The Redding native ended up earning a solid seven top-10s with a best effort of sixth in May at the Peter Murphy Classic finale. He also claimed quick time honors in just his second series appearance in April at Silver Dollar Speedway. The 17-year-old will be back aboard the Mittry Racing No. 2XM owned by his father, Demo Mittry. Bloomfield's Big Year At just 16 years of age, Dylan Bloomfield is planning on running a hefty slate of more than 70 races this year, and the centerpiece will be his first full NARC campaign. The teenager will be aboard the familiar Dave and Debbie Vertullo-owned No. 83V. Bloomfield took over driving duties of the Vertullo Motorsports machine late last year, and after some encouraging results Bloomfield was tabbed the team's full-time driver for 2023. The young talent out of Discovery Bay made nine NARC feature appearances last year with the final six of those being aboard the Vertullo car. Bloomfield picked up a pair of top-10s in 2022 including a ninth-place effort in just his third career series start at Stockton in August. His best series finish is currently an eighth at Keller Auto Speedway, which he earned last October. The Vertullo ride is known for helping cultivate some of sprint car racing's best talent, and Bloomfield hopes to be the next on the list of drivers who've made a mark behind the wheel. Third Time's a Charm for Aton? After his strong 2021 Rookie of the Year campaign, Billy Aton went into 2022 with high hopes, but he unfortunately ran into somewhat of a sophomore slump. Wild Bill's numbers dipped a little last season, but 2023 signals a fresh start and a chance to return to 2021 form when he impressed at a variety of tracks during his first full NARC campaign. The Benicia native will return to the seat of his family-owned No. 26 for his junior year on the tour. Plenty More On top of the drivers who've already committed, there are plenty of other talented California gassers who may partake in the entire 24-race campaign or a majority of it. Justin Sanders has won seven NARC features in the last two years, and he plans to tackle as many races as he can in 2023. The Aromas racer will again be teammates with Max Mittry as he pilots a Mittry Racing 2X machine. Perhaps the nation's most promising young talent, Corey Day, intends to compete in a majority of the NARC schedule aboard the Jason Meyers Racing No. 14. In just 27 career series starts, the Clovis phenom has already visited victory lane on six occasions. The team is geared up to run the duration of the schedule. One of the most consistent NARC forces throughout the years, Shane Golobic, promises to be a contender at every race he signs in for. The Fremont native owns podiums in roughly one-third of his career NARC feature starts and also boasts 14 victories. A car to watch will be the famed Tarlton Motorsports No. 21. They plan to run as much of the NARC campaign as possible with a variety of drivers. The only person currently confirmed for some seat-time in the all-black machine is Cole Macedo as he'll make a return to his roots with plenty of starts with Tarlton on his 2023 calendar. Following his personal-best second-place effort in the 2022 NARC standings, Willie Croft is scaling back slightly in 2023, but he still has plenty of NARC action on his schedule. The Colfax driver is currently sitting one win away from double-digit series victories. Three-time series champion, Jonathan Allard, intends to run a handful of NARC shows in 2023. Last year he reunited with the Williams Motorsports crew, and they combination plan to attend select events again this year. Many more regular faces in the NARC pit area over the years are sure to make many appearances including D.J. Netto, Colby Copeland, Joel Myers Jr., Chase Johnson, Mitchell Faccinto, Andy Forsberg, Tanner and Blake Carrick, and more. Expect to see Pacific Northwest locals take on California's best when the series heads north like Trey Starks, Tanner Holmes, Tyler Thompson, Logan Forler and others. Let's Go Racing The schedule is set. The drivers are ready after the off-season. The only thing left to do is throw the green flag on the 2023 NARC 410 Sprint Car campaign and see what happens as the pursuit for the next NARC champion unfolds.
