  NARC NEWSLINE - September 30, 2022. By Jim Allen

  For all of you loyal 410 sprint car fans out there, you probably noticed that our NARC schedule got a little choppy during the heat of the summer. From March through mid-July, the NARC Fujitsu General Sprint Car Series powered through 15-races like a runaway train … only to come to a screeching halt when the temperatures in the Central Valley hit triple-digits. That may have been a good thing or bad thing - depending on your perspective. When the original 27-race schedule was negotiated last December, there was supposed to be a smooth ebb and flow to the schedule. But then the two-day Louie Vermeil Classic dropped out. Then we subtracted three rain outs, two tire outs, and one high wind advisory out. That's way too many "outs!" Only one of those has been rescheduled. Barring a tornado, hurricane, or an unfilled tire supply chain, the Northern Auto Racing Club 2022 history book will eventually log 20-events this season. The best part of that is the final five racing events promise to rock your world. Need proof? Here is a little of what is on tap: October 8th - Morrie Williams Memorial at Keller Auto Speedway. It's hard to believe this is already the third annual event honoring the late Mr. Williams. It may have been the only good thing to come out of the covid-year. What makes this show unique is it features a pair of 20-lap main events. One is lined up straight up by times (except for the inversion and finish of the dash.) The second main event is lined up completely inverted based on the finish of the first, except for lapped cars that go to the back. Although the first race is the only official NARC championship points race, the second event is the most unpredictable. The Swift Metal Hardcharger Award is guaranteed to be a tossup with many superheroes will be charging from the back. Another way to end up in the back for the second feature is to change a tire or go to the pits after the first checkered waves. That means tire management is in play as these 40-laps must be run on the same set of tires. Wear out a Hoosier H-series right rear early in the night and you'll be passed faster than a NHRA dragster blowing past a parade float. It will be interesting to see strategies put in play. All teams must pit in the designated infield pit area between events and will be given about 10-minutes to work on their cars - or the amount of time it takes me to interview the top three finishers - whatever comes first. As usual, Ashley Smith has put forth a stellar effort to hustle up money for the show. Each 20-lapper will pay $3,000 to the winner and the overall champion will pocket $1000. Fast time is also worth $400, plus a custom timepiece courtesy of Katie Williams. The Champion Mechanic will pocket $400. Overall, there is more than $30,000 up grabs, plus a bevy of other awesome awards. Last year's winners were NARC champ Dominic Scelzi and first-time NARC winner Mitchel Moles. October 14th - Anthony Simone Classic at you got it: Keller Auto Speedway again. The Simone race was rescheduled to become part of a rich Friday-Saturday NARC double-header weekend. Saturday's show moves down the road 24-miles to Tulare for the inaugural Dennis Roth Classic. Due to the amount of racing taking place over the weekend (think tires) and the fact it is crunch time for teams chasing championship points, this show will only feature a winged 30-lap main event. The non-winged show will have to wait until 2023. I should point out that to qualify for the Simone headliner will take work - very quick work. The four heat races are only six laps in distance, lined straight up by qualifying times. The top two finishers qualify for the 10-car dash. That means the slightest hesitation at the start can be the difference between the first row of feature and lining up 20th. The phrase "snooze, you lose" will become more than just an old saying if a driver doesn't stomp on the pedal. As far as the dash is concerned, it will consist of the eight transfers, plus the next two fastest qualifiers who finished in the top five in their heat. Those two can't start any better than ninth and tenth in the 8-lap Sunnyvalley Bacon/Mr. Excitement Dash. If there are 30+ cars, there will be five no-holds barred heat races and only the top two advance to the dash. Although the official purse has yet to be announced, the 2021 Simone Classic paid $10,000 to winner Shane Golobic. October 15th - The Dennis Roth Classic at Thunderbowl Raceway. Finally! A long overdue and well-deserved event for his nationally-known car owner icon. Over the years, a total of 59 different drivers have piloted a number 83 Roth Motorsports sprint car, either locally or nationally with the Outlaws. In the process, Dennis Roth's sprint cars have won 100's of high-profile sprint car events, including the 1998 Knoxville Nationals. For his contributions he was inducted into the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame. What was really missing was a local event in his backyard and now we have it. This one will have a lot of flair and Beef Packers protein. In addition to prize money, the driver who sets quick time will earn ten pounds of New York Strip steak. Each heat race winner will get an ice chest with 20 lbs. of Tri-Tip. In addition to a $8,300 paycheck, the man standing on the podium at the end of the night will take home 30 pounds of Ribeye. It's a meat-fest in this $830 to start A-Main. And let us not forget about the dash winner who will earn ten pounds of Sunnyvalley Bacon. Anybody posting a clean sweep may need to get their cholesterol checked in a couple of weeks. When you add it all up, the purse will be over $35,000. Speaking of the aforementioned 1998 Knoxville Nationals, that #83 ride has been fully restored to its original condition. It will be used as the pace vehicle at the event - driven by none other than Brent Kaeding. Backtracking to the 59-drivers, there is one awesome Dennis Roth Classic t-shirt in the making which will read like a Hall of Fame in its own right. A special autograph session will take place around 4:00 p.m. under the grandstands with the likes of former Roth drivers Joey Saldana, Paul McMahan, Brent Kaeding, Dominic Scelzi, Shane Golobic, Tim Kaeding, Mitchel Moles, Kyle Hirst, and Jonathan Allard. All will be sporting commemorative hero cards so don't miss out. This Roth show also features the Kings of Thunder 360's, just a week before the Trophy Cup, so you can expect a gaggle, or herd, or pack, or whatever you call a ton of cars at the Thunderbowl. Double duty will be the name of the game for many teams doing a little TC tune-up! October 29th - The Sprint Car Showdown at the Dirt Track at Kern County Raceway Park. NARC will make the trip down I-5 to Bakersfield for their lone appearance at the 1/3-mile oval. The Sprint Car Showdown pays $3500 to win, $500 to start the A, AND, every team will also receive a $100 gift card courtesy of Fujitsu General Heating & Air Conditioning. If you haven't been to this track yet, it's time for a road trip. The Dirt Track is always multi-grooved and racy and worth the price of admission. November 5th - The Tribute to Gary Patterson at the Stockton Dirt Track. This popular show has taken another step towards greatness with its new Triple Crown status. Three championships will be finalized on this night and the Stockton grandstands and pits should be packed. This program will decide the titles for the JW Hunt Wingless Series, the Sprint Car Challenge Tour and of course, the NARC Fujitsu General 410 series. It doesn't get much better than that. NARC CHAMPIONSHIP CELEBRATION: Another good thing about the NARC season is that when it's over - it's really over! No waiting a couple of months for point fund checks with a post-Holiday hangover. The Stockton Triple Crown is Saturday night and the awards celebration crowning of our "King of the West" champ takes place the next afternoon at a local country club. It all takes place on Sunday, November 6th at the private Brookside Country Club (one of the few places I have not golfed at.). Fans, promoters, sponsors, heck - EVERYBODY - is invited until the fire department says we have 140 people in attendance. The show includes a massive brunch spread, tons of videos, a fair share of comedic events, an auction for the NARC Benevolent Fund, championship awards for the top ten and a preview of what is in store for 2023. Teams in the top 15 in points can reserve a table for eight at a discounted rate of only $200 (if purchased by October 15th.) Otherwise, tickets are $50 each. To get yours contact me at 714-397-7417. NARC NOTES: Yes, it was depressing that we missed racing at the Louie Vermeil Classic again. But it might have been a slight reprieve as it was 113 degrees over the Labor Day weekend at Calistoga Speedway. There is slow progress taking place between the City and the County regarding the sale and getting the historic half-mile opened up again. The key word in the sentence is "slow." And even when the ink dries on the contract, there will be a ton of work to do to get the place race ready. Need proof? Check out the August 29th post on our Facebook page. Mother nature has taken over anything that resembles dirt with 3' tall weeds. It's heartbreaking in its own right. … First, it's Kanye and Kim. Who is next? Tom and Gisele? Maybe! How about car owners Joshua Bates and Roger Hamilton who split the sheets with Tim Kaeding. They enjoyed a nice five-year run together, which is an eternity in the sprint car world. Sometimes change is good as proven by that statement made by my lawyer to my first-wife. … The Bates-Hamilton team will be looking for a new pilot, and TK will search for a ride that can get him 13 more wins and a chance to pass Brent Kaeding on the all-time win list. … The future is extremely bright for sprint car racing as was proven during the Outlaws West Coast swing. Blake Carrick, Ryan Timms, Max Mittry, Corey Day and Joel Myers Jr. all put together stellar performances against the big boys. Along those lines, Carrick, Timms, Mittry and Myers are overdue for their first NARC win. Who is going to be first? … Joel Myers Jr. will be headed to New Zealand in December for their sprint car season. How cool is that for a 16-year-old? Have you ever noticed there is a substantial amount of moaning, groaning and sometimes a bit of whining, during the pill draws for qualifying order? Some want an early number; others want a late number. That mentality may change during the final five events of the season because Mettec Titanium is now paying $100 to the driver who pulls the number one pill (or the lowest number). That right, all you must do is pull the lowest number. Mettec and Dirk Van Cott also sponsor the NARC lap leader award which pays $10 for every lap led in the feature. … … Dominic Scelzi is the current NARC point leader. He holds a manageable 34-point lead over Willie Croft in his quest for his second consecutive NARC title. Scelzi started the season red hot, stringing four wins in a row at one point, but Croft has actually scored more points during the past five shows (519-509.) So has Bud Kaeding and Mitchell Faccinto, Shane Golobic, Tim Kaeding and DJ Netto. What does all that mean? How about anything is possible - and I have a calculator. ... Idaho driver Logan Forler should finish in the top ten in NARC points if he competes at the final five races. That would be a nice accomplishment. RANDOM OPEN WHEEL NOTES: Pennsylvania has the Posse when the Outlaws come to town. California teams need a nickname as well. The "California Cartel" made a short run and continues to circulate, but is that really our top choice? Got any ideas? … How many of you have played the new World of Outlaw: Dirt Racing game on PS or Xbox? It's addictive, especially with several Golden Stater's represented in the game! … How cool is it that Carson Macedo has won 11 WoO features this season? He will soon be nipping at the door of his first national championship. BTW, it would have been 12 wins had it not been for a "bump and run" at the Hanford show. … Watching the scary cockpit fire in the Tarlton Motorsports 21 driven by Caeden Steele at Hanford was enough to make my heart jump out of my chest. Caeden has serious burns on his legs and has a lengthy recovery process ahead of him. Our hero of the month award goes to DJ Netto who came to Caeden rescue in a valid effort to smother the flames before safety crews arrived. This is why fire suppression devices will be mandatory in sprint cars in the very near future. Get well Caeden. ... Austen Wheatley, who was seriously banged up at the Dirt Cup at Skagit in a frightening accident, has reported his recovery is on track. His ribs have healed enough that he can start physical therapy and strength training. Good to hear! Coming to you live from Auburn, CA. We will catch up at a track near you. See ya!

  BRODY ROA TAKES THIRD IN PERRIS USAC/CRA RACE - RACING IN USAC WEST COAST SERIES THIS WEEK

  (Cypress, CA, September 22, 2022) Brody Roa rebounded from a disastrous USAC/CRA Sprint Car race at Perris Auto Speedway in August to finish third in the Glenn Howard Memorial last Saturday night. This Saturday he will journey north to team up with Jayson May in the USAC West Coast Series race at the Ventura Raceway. 297879254_2204237209743457_8079382424926505894_n.jpg Brody Roa will be trying to steer Jason May's #8M to the win Saturday at Ventura. Lance Jennings photo. After two weeks of scorching heat, race teams and fans were greeted by temperatures in the mid-80s for Saturday's show. Roa, who lives in Garden Grove California, was one of 24 USAC/CRA Sprint Car drivers on hand for the show. Stopping the clocks at 16.540, the 31-year-old veteran racer was eighth fastest on the night. That is not the ideal place to qualify. If the seven cars who qualified faster than him all finished in the top four in their heat race, that would mean the best Roa could start in the main event would be eighth. However, things worked out perfectly. He won his heat race and two cars who qualified faster than he finished, fifth or worse. That meant Roa would be on the pole for the 30-lap main event. Before he got to that main event, Roa contested a 10-lap heat race. Starting on the outside of row 2, he led the last 6 laps for his fourth heat win of the year in the series. "Seems like we are always pretty good in heat races here this year," the popular driver told the crowd after his win. "We are trying something a lot different with the car tonight. We have to work on it a little bit for the feature. Cody (Cody Williams who was leading Roa in the heat before dropping out), was definitely way better. He would have smoked us if he didn't break or whatever happened. So, we have to work on it a little bit for the feature and we will be all right." Whatever crew chief Zac Bozanich and the crew worked on before the main, it worked out well. As soon as the race started, Roa burst into the lead. He proceeded to set the early pace and led the first nine laps before relinquishing the top spot. The friendly driver stayed close to the leader. He was second after a restart with a couple of laps to go, but a small bobble coming off turn two cost him and he dropped to third. He stayed on the throttle and crossed the finish line only two lengths behind the second-place car. It was his fifth USAC/CRA podium in only 10 races this year. Two of the podiums, Perris in June and Santa Maria in August, were wins. "We brought a really different package tonight on the car," Roa said at the end of the race. "We worked on it all night. It needs a few tweaks on it. We will take it and learn from it. It was worth trying something as we are not point racing. We are not worried about it if we run third. Winning would have been nice and the paycheck is a little bit better. We come to win and we also come to get better. Trying things is what we need to do to do that. Thanks to all my guys. My dad, Zach, Joe, Uncle B, Zach's mom Tracey, my wife and daughter, she turns two tomorrow. That is big and exciting. I wish I could have brought her a trophy home. We will go have a party tomorrow and enjoy the weekend." This Saturday, September 24th, Roa will be back in Jayson May's #8M for the USAC West Coast Series race at Jim Naylor's Ventura Raceway. Thus far in 2022, Roa has made two appearances at Ventura. On June 11th he placed second in the USAC/CRA main and on August 27th, he won the West Coast Series main in May's car. Three weeks before that, he drove May's car, which is a 360, to the win in the USAC/CRA 410 main event at the Santa Maria Raceway. For fans who would like to attend Saturday's race to see Roa driving the #8M, spectator gates will open at 3:00 p.m. and the first race will be at 5:30. The track is located on the Ventura County Fairgrounds at 10 W. Harbor Boulevard (93001). The website is http://venturaraceway.com/ and the office phone number is (805) 648-RACE. Adult tickets are $22.00. Seniors 60 and over, military with id, and students with id get in for $18.00. Children 12 and under are free when they are accompanied by an adult. If you wish to hear Roa's recent appearance on the Dirt Tracks and Rib Racks podcast, you can do so at the following link https://spoti.fi/3cjQrLL. In 2022, Roa is racing in the USAC/CRA, USAC National, and other select events, in his #91R BR Performance/HD Industries Eagle. He will also drive the #8M for May Motorsports in select USAC West Coast events. The 2019 USAC Southwest and 2017 USAC West Coast champion is always open to discussing other driving opportunities. Roa and the team want to thank the following sponsors for making the 2022 season possible. HD Industries, Burris Racing, Sander Engineering, Inland Rigging, Caltrol, "Biker" Bruce Fischer, Competition Suspension, ALR Virtual Services, K-1 Race Gear, Molecule, Rod End Supply, Driven Racing Oil, Baldwin Filters, and NGK Spark Plugs. In addition, the veteran driver offers thanks to RDM Mechanics, Fastenal, Coopers Propane, Ten West Towing, Ten West Environmental, TJM Distribution, and Westco International for sponsoring the #8M he will pilot for Jayson May on 10 occasions in 2022. If you or your company would like to jump on board and receive recognition as a team partner throughout the 2022 racing season, please give the two-time USAC champion racer a phone call or drop him a note at the contact information on the top of this release.

  BRODY ROA ENJOYING A RELAXED SEASON IN 2022

  (Cypress, CA, September 15, 2022) When Southern California sprint car star Brody Roa released his 2022 racing schedule, it shocked many that he was running in a variety of different series and was not chasing championship points in any of them. As the season is about to hit the homestretch, Roa is completely happy with the decision and has absolutely no regrets. This Saturday night he will be competing in the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series at Perris Auto Speedway. PAS 8_20_22=91r=6322-3#BC08.jpg Brody Roa will be back at Perris Auto Speedway on Saturday. Doug Allen Photo. The story of Roa's racing the past few seasons has been with the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series, USAC West Coast Sprint Cars, USAC National Sprint Cars when they headed west to end the season, and his annual trek to the Chili Bowl. To date this year he has raced the Chili Bowl, a few races in the USAC West Coast Series, the USAC National Series at Indiana Sprint Week, and periodic appearances with USAC/CRA. Additionally, he has raced with the World of Outlaws, ASCS/CAS Series in Arizona, King of Thunder winged 360s, and NARC King of the West 410s. With such a varied schedule, he has not had to think about the stress that comes along with point racing, and frankly, he is not missing it. "I am enjoying it, especially as it comes nearer to the end of the year," Roa said on Wednesday night. "I know the last few months, September, October, and November, are really stressful when you are point racing. You are counting points all night and you are trying to focus. It is always in the back of your head no matter what anybody says. You think about it. It is nice going into the end of this year not worrying about that. Going into the Ovals I will be focused on making good runs all three nights." "It has been our goal the last 10 years to run for that championship," Roa continued. "It is a different kind of fun I guess you could say. If we have a little off night, we are not worrying ourselves too much. We can move on to the next one. I have tried some things with the car this year that I probably would not have done (if they were chasing points). We have learned a lot this year and we have had a lot more fun. The tension level amongst the team is a little bit lower. It has been nice." The obvious question is if he has been having so much fun this year, is he going to do the same thing next year? One would think the clear answer would be "yes," he is going to stick with what he did in 2022. However, one must consider that the 31-year-old Garden Grove, California resident is a longtime successful racer with competitive juices that run deep. "I am not sure yet," Roa stated when asked if he would race for points in 2023. "It's a conversation I guess everybody has to have and decide what we want to do next year. I had fun with the wing deal this year, so I would like to do that occasionally. I want to run with Jayson (Jayson May who owns the #8M 360 sprint car Roa drives when available) more next year, too. When we get to the end of the year and schedules start coming out, we will all get together as a team with all of our partners, supporters, and families and see what we can and what we want to do next year." Roa's season will end a little over two months from now in the sprint car portion of the Turkey Night Grand Prix at Ventura. He has several races on his schedule including a stretch of five straight Saturdays of racing in three different series starting with this Saturday's USAC/CRA race at Perris. The rest of that stretch will include another USAC/CRA show at Perris, USAC Western Sprint Series races at Ventura and Kern County Raceway Park, and the NARC King of the West Twin 25's at Peter Murphy's Keller Auto Speedway. In addition to the October date at Keller, there may be one more wing race on his schedule in 2022. "We are going to put the wing back on a couple of times," Roa said. "Well, maybe a couple times. We only have one wing left. We have to get through the first one. We are going to do it once for sure. We will see about the second one and do whatever we feel at the end of October with the wing or non-wing." This Saturday Roa returns to Perris for his fourth wingless appearance at the track this year. His first three appearances on the famous Riverside County half-mile clay Oval in 2022 saw him finish in sixth place, third, and first. The win came on June 25th. The next time the series was at the track was on August 20th. To say the results were 180 degrees different would be an understatement. Between his heat race and getting clobbered and knocked out of the main on lap two, it seemed as though Roa was hit by everyone at the track except for the infield ambulance driver. "We still show up to run good, but having those nights hurts no matter what," Roa affirmed. "Whether it is points or just money. We rely a lot on the purse money to get the car ready again for the next one. When we have nights like that (August 20th) and we tear up everything in the trailer in like a total of 10 laps, it hurts the ego and the bank account. But it is definitely less stressful when I have a night like that this year as I am not worrying about a bad night points-wise." Roa is looking forward to this weekend in a big way. Not only will racing at Perris Auto Speedway on Saturday be on his agenda. On Sunday, Roa and his wife Tailor will be celebrating their daughter Addison's second birthday with family and friends. Adult tickets to see Roa and the rest of the stars in action on Saturday are $30.00. Seniors 65 and over get in for $25.00. For kids 6 to 12, it is just $5.00. Children 5 and under are admitted free. There will be plenty of tickets available for everyone at the ticket window on Saturday, this event will not sell out. For those who wish to purchase advance tickets, they are available 24 hours a day online at https://www.tix.com/ticket-sales/pas/7/event/1256365 or by calling 1-800-595-4849.

  BRODY ROA GETS SECOND STRAIGHT WIN IN MAY MOTORSPORTS #8M

  (Cypress, CA, September 2, 2022) To say Brody Roa feels comfortable in the May Motorsports #8M may be the understatement of the year. For the second time in three weeks, he wheeled the car to victory when he bested the field in the USAC West Coast Sprint Car Series race last Saturday night at the Ventura Raceway. 302013104_610639214107966_3801750003934255991_n.jpg Brody Roa after his win in the May Motorsports #8M last Saturday at Ventura. After attending crew chief Zac Bozanich's wedding the night before, Roa journeyed to Ventura to hop into May's pretty orange, blue, and white sprint car at the track located adjacent to the beach on the Ventura County Fairgrounds. When they last raced together on August 6th, the veteran driver scored an impressive win when he drove the 360 car to a win against the USAC/CRA 410 Sprint Cars at the Santa Maria Raceway. The 2016 USAC West Coast Sprint Car champion, Roa was making his first 2022 appearance in the series. The Garden Grove, California racer started the night by qualifying fourth in the 22-car field with a time of 13.008. Roa, 31, started inside the third row in his heat race. He quickly advanced to the third-place spot and began to challenge for second. While he was trying to get past the second-place car, the fourth-place car came calling on Roa. They became embroiled in a fierce, crowd-pleasing battle for the spot which eventually went to Roa. The "Pride of Garden Grove" began the main on the inside of the front row and as soon as the Chris Kornder green flag told the drivers to get it on, Roa went on the attack. Even though he poked the nose of the 8M ahead a couple of times, he did not officially lead a lap until the seventh circuit. Going into turn one he dove to the bottom and slid up the track to take the lead. A yellow on lap 9 bunched the field onto the back of Roa's car, but he quickly left them behind once the action resumed. Another yellow a couple of laps later and then a red saw Roa's lead dissipate two more times. However, when racing resumed, the field put 10 straight laps in and Roa built a half-straight lead. Another restart saw him again put distance between himself and the pack only to have it disappear with seven laps to go due to a yellow necessitated by a car losing a wheel and a red when a car flipped. The yellow caution flag finally bit Roa. On what would become the third to last restart, a car dove to the bottom and raced into the lead. However, before a full lap was completed, a sail panel came off another car and landed in turn three bringing out a yellow. The running order reverted to the last completed lap. On the next restart, the same thing happened. The second place car dove to the bottom and took the lead. And once again, the yellow came out when two cars tangled in turn three. So, the lineup went back to the last completed lap and Roa returned to the lead. The race restarted with four laps to go and this time Roa made sure he was going to stay at the point. He went low into turn one on the restart taking away the second-place driver's line. From that point on, he pulled away to score his eighth-ever win in the series by 1/3 of a straightaway. "I don't know what to say about that one," the smiling winner said to the crowd. "I feel like we really earned it. We got really lucky with those cautions. Hats off to Jim Naylor (promoter) on this track tonight. That was the way Ventura is supposed to be. You know, banging the boards around here. Rolling around the infield, that stuff is boring. This May Motorsports car is so badass to drive. I feel this is one of my best joints. Especially when it gets up around the fence like that. Huge thanks to the May family and all of their partners in this deal." Roa will get Labor Day weekend off before hitting the track for three straight weeks. On September 10th and 24th, he will be back in the May Motorsports car in the West Coast Series at Bakersfield and Ventura. Sandwiched in between on the 17th, he will be in his own #91R for the USAC/CRA Series race at Perris. If you wish to hear Roa's recent appearance on the Dirt Tracks and Rib Racks podcast, you can do so at the following link https://spoti.fi/3cjQrLL. In 2022, Roa is racing in the USAC/CRA, USAC National, and other select events, in his #91R BR Performance/HD Industries Eagle. He will also drive the #8M for May Motorsports in select USAC West Coast events. The 2019 USAC Southwest and 2017 USAC West Coast champion is always open to discussing other driving opportunities.

HD Industries, Burris Racing, Sander Engineering, Inland Rigging, Caltrol, "Biker" Bruce Fischer, Competition Suspension, ALR Virtual Services, K-1 Race Gear, Molecule, Rod End Supply, Driven Racing Oil, Baldwin Filters, and NGK Spark Plugs. In addition, the veteran driver offers thanks to RDM Mechanics, Fastenal, Coopers Propane, Ten West Towing, Ten West Environmental, TJM Distribution, and Westco International for sponsoring the #8M he will pilot for Jayson May on 10 occasions in 2022.

  BRODY ROA IN JAYSON MAY'S CAR FOR VENTURA USAC 360 RACE SATURDAY

  (Cypress, CA, August 25, 2022) Just three weeks after they outdistanced the USAC/CRA 410 sprint car field in the main event at Santa Maria, Brody Roa will be teaming with car owner Jayson May for Saturday's USAC West Coast Sprint Car race at the Ventura Raceway. It will be the first appearance of the year for Roa in the series that he was champion of in 2016. Roa, who lives in Garden Grove, California, will be making his second appearance of the year at Ventura on Saturday. On June 11th, he drove his own #91R to the second-place finish in the USAC/CRA main event there. On that night, he dogged the winner the entire race and was glued to his tail at the end. Roa was clearly the faster driver, but the track was one groove on the bottom. The 31-year-old's only option to win the race would have been to knock the leader out of the way. Unlike many drivers, Roa raced the leader clean and ended up second. Saturday's appearance at Ventura will be Roa's third time in May's car in 2022. In addition to the win at Santa Maria, he drove in two races at the Central Arizona Speedway in February. The first night, he had a big lead in the yellow flag-plagued main event when he ran out of fuel late in the race and dropped to fifth. Twenty-four hours later on the same track, he placed second in the feature. "That thing rips," Roa told the crew of the Dirt Tracks and Rib Racks podcast last Sunday when referring to May's car. "Obviously, it beat the 410s at Santa Maria. That place was rough on both ends. Sticky as can be in three and four and slick and dusty in one and two. Kind of tricky. Kind of proved how good that 360 runs." 299776312_608117861026768_3287346288671129253_n.jpg Jayson May's #8M is ready for Brody Roa to race at Ventura on Saturday. May Motorsports photo. Roa comes into this week's action following what can best be described as a rough Saturday in last week's USAC/CRA Series race at Perris Auto Speedway. As he put it to the cast on the podcast, "I would like to pretend last night did not happen." Coming into the night off two straight series wins, Roa was the defending champion of the California Racer's Hall of Fame Night. In qualifying, he turned in a time of 16.903. That was six fastest of the 21 cars on hand. It also gave him a good shot at starting on the front row of the main event. However, it ended up being the only bright spot on the night. Being the second fastest car in his 10-lap heat race, Roa was starting fifth. All he had to do was finish one spot ahead of where he started to assure himself a spot on the front row of the main event. He took the coveted fourth position going into turn three on the first circuit. However, it all started to unravel from that point! Going into turn three on the third lap, Roa was going by the third-place car. Suddenly that car slid up the track and pushed Roa into the wall. Both of Roa's right side wheels were on the top of the crashwall. Somehow, he managed to steer the car off the wall, and while he lost territory to the third-place car, he did not lose a position. After gathering it back in, Roa had reeled in the top three by lap five and was racing on the wide line. Suddenly, the leader came to a near stop in Roa's line. With nowhere to go, Roa got his car wooed down just as the other car took off. Simultaneously, the yellow came out. One lap into the restart the same car that slowed in the cushion slowed again directly in front of Roa leaving him nowhere to go. Roa got into the back of the slowing car and ended with a flat right front tire. Mercifully, his heat from heck ended before the crew could finish changing the tire. Roa still had a good starting spot for the main in eighth. Sadly, it was just one of those nights. On lap two, a car slid across the track in turn four and knocked Roa into the fence. The clash damaged the front end of the #91R and knocked it out of the race. That ended the nightmare of a night and left Roa with a frustrating 19thplace finish. If you wish to hear the aforementioned Dirt Tracks and Rib Racks podcast with Roa, you can do so at the following link https://spoti.fi/3cjQrLL. Roa has a busy month of September on tap. He will be back in May's car for two West Coast Series races. The first will be at Bakersfield on the 10th and two weeks later on the 24th at Ventura. Sandwiched in between, he will be back at Perris in the #91R for the USAC/CRA Glen Howard Memorial on the 17th. In 2022, Roa is racing in the USAC/CRA, USAC National, and other select events, in his #91R BR Performance/HD Industries Eagle. He will also drive the #8M for May Motorsports in select USAC West Coast events. The 2019 USAC Southwest and 2017 USAC West Coast champion is always open to discussing other driving opportunities.

  SIMONE RACE RESCHEDULED FOR NARC SPRINT CARS AT HANFORD

  (8/20/22) Sacramento, CA ... The Northern Auto Racing Club and Keller Auto Speedway announced that the Anthony Simone Classic has been rescheduled for Friday, October 14th. The original sprint car race date in April was cancelled due to high wind advisories in the Hanford, CA area. The Anthony Simone Classic will now be part of a huge NARC Fujitsu General 410 Sprint Car Series weekend that also features the inaugural Dennis Roth Classic at the Tulare Thunderbowl Raceway on Saturday, October 15th. The lucrative Simone Classic is unique in that it features both a winged and non-winged sprint car feature event, both sanctioned by the Northern Auto Racing Club. Teams must use the same cars for both shows with only limited adjustments allowed to the car (no front axle changes.) They have 15-minutes to convert their cars to the non-wing configuration. With the cancellation of the August 27th show at the Stockton Dirt Track due to a shortage of Hoosier race tires, the NARC sprint cars are dark until October 8th Morrie Williams Memorial at Keller Auto Speedway in Hanford. That event features twin-20 main events with the second race totally inverted by the finish of the first. Other events in October include the a stop at the Dirt Track at Kern County Raceway Park on the 29th. The season finale is on November 5th when the Stockton Dirt Track hosts the Tribute to Gary Patterson Championship night. The NARC Championship Celebration is on November 6th at the Brookside Country Club. With five races remaining on the NARC schedule, Fresno's Dominic Scelzi is the current championship point leader.

  ROA DEFENDS CALIFORNIA RACER'S HALL OF FAME NIGHT TITLE SATURDAY

  (Cypress, CA, August 16, 2022) When the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series returns to Perris Auto Speedway this Saturday, August 20th, for the annual California Racer's Hall of Fame Night, one of the main drivers to watch will be Garden Grove, California's Brody Roa. Not only is Roa the defending champion of the race, but he comes into the event after having won the last two series races. DSC_5541.JPG Brody Roa will try to make it three straight USAC/CRA wins Saturday at Perris. Charles Fawcett photo. Roa has been a force in some of the Riverside County half-mile oval's signature races over the last 14 months. In May of 2021, he captured the prestigious Salute to Indy. That is a race that dates to the 1940s. Two months later he won the previously mentioned California racers Hall of Fame Night. His win at the track on June 25th of this year came in the first Bubby Jones/Ray Scheetz Memorial. That race honored National Sprint Car Hall of Famer Jones and his longtime crew chief Scheetz. Both were prominent figures in building the track known as The PAS in 1996 and stayed on to help run it. Roa's recent prowess in the series began on June 25th at Perris. After leading the first lap of the race, the 31-year-old driver drifted back in the field and was fourth as the 30-lap race neared the halfway point. He eventually began clawing his way forward. With four laps to go, he raced back into second. He stayed in that spot until a restart with two laps remaining when he burst into the lead and fought off salvos from the second and third-place cars for his first USAC/CRA win of the year. Two weeks ago after returning from the grueling Indiana Sprint week, Roa jumped into Jayson May's 360 sprint car and posted the win against the field of 410s at the Santa Maria Raceway. Some may have considered that an upset victory for Roa but anyone who has seen his record at the track over the last half-decade, knows it was anything but a fluke. Like his win at Perris on June 25th, Roa's triumph in last year's California Racer's Hall of Fame Night was in much the same manner. In that race, he drove into the lead with two laps to go and waltzed on to the victory. To add intrigue to Saturday's action, fans and race supporters have donated more than $12,000.00 extra to be added to the regular purse. The Billy Wilkerson Fast Time Award will pay a whopping $1,000.00 (plus an extra $400.00 if the fast time breaks the existing track record). Last year Roa was fast qualifier at the CRHOFN. The four fastest qualifiers on the night will contest the Plastic Express Junior Kurtz/Bill Simpson trophy dash. The winner will receive $2,000.00 for that event and second place will pay $1,000.00. Last year Roa finished in a tie for second in the dash. The main event has $5,900.00 posted in lap money with the leader of each lap taking home a minimum of $100.00 all the way up to $700.00. In addition, there will be other bonuses on the night like $500.00 for the best passing job in the main event and $100.00 to the winner of each heat race. Spectator gates will open at 5:00 PM on Saturday, and the first race will be at 7:00. For fans who would like to attend in person, adult tickets are $30.00. Seniors 65 and over get him for $25. For kids 6 through 12 it is just $5.00 and children 5 and under are free. Advance tickets are available at the following link https://www.tix.com/ticket-sales/pas/7 or by calling 1-800-595-4849. For those who do not wish to purchase tickets in advance, there will be plenty of tickets available at the ticket window on Saturday. The fairgrounds charges $10 for parking. The track is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds at 18700 Lake Perris Drive in the city of Perris (92571) In 2022, Roa is racing in the USAC/CRA, USAC National, and other select events, in his #91R BR Performance/HD Industries Eagle. He will also drive the #8M for May Motorsports in select USAC West Coast events. The 2019 USAC Southwest and 2017 USAC West Coast champion is always open to discussing other driving opportunities. Roa and the team want to thank the following sponsors for making the 2022 season possible. HD Industries, Burris Racing, Sander Engineering, Inland Rigging, Caltrol, "Biker" Bruce Fischer, Competition Suspension, ALR Virtual Services, K-1 Race Gear, Molecule, Rod End Supply, Driven Racing Oil, Baldwin Filters, and NGK Spark Plugs.

  BRODY ROA DRIVES 360 TO VICTORY IN USAC/CRA 410 RACE AT SANTA MARIA

  (Cypress, CA, August 9, 2022) Fresh off a trip to the Midwest for Indiana Sprint Week, California sprint car racer Brody Roa did what only six other drivers have done in 23 years of USAC/CRA Series racing. The veteran driver steered a 360 cubic inch car to victory when he bested the field before a sellout crowd at the Santa Maria Raceway last Saturday night. 297879254_2204237209743457_8079382424926505894_n.jpg Brody Roa drove Jayson May's 360 to the win in the USAC/CRA 410 main event at Santa Maria. SCRAFAN.COM photo. Roa jumped into the Jayson May #8M for only the third time in 2022. The Garden Grove, Californian did admirably all night long against a field that was filled with the fastest non-wing 410 sprint cars on the West Coast. To start the night, he qualified seventh fastest in the 31-car field with a lap of 14.498. That qualifying time placed the 31-year-old Roa in the third heat race. Starting on the inside of the next to the last row, the "Pride of Garden Grove" bobbed and weaved his way forward to finish third. When the 30-lap main event rolled onto the 1/3-mile semi-banked oval that first hosted racing in 1964, Roa was on the pole in the white, bright orange, and blue #8M. However, the veteran racer had more to battle than just the other 21 cars in the field. Turns one and two had deteriorated by the time the main event rolled off and would add an extra challenge to all the drivers. In addition, the racing groove was very narrow and around the bottom in turns three and four. To say the least, it was a very technical track that was going to test the skills of all the drivers. After the original start was botched due to several cars near the back getting together, Roa raced into the lead on the restart. He slowly but surely pulled out to about a five-car length advantage by the time lap five rolled around. He maintained that buffer until a red flag halted the action on lap nine. When the race resumed, things had changed. The five-car length lead dissipated and the new second place driver, Tommy "Thunder" Malcolm, applied the heat to Roa. The race-long leader managed to fend off Malcolm's challenges until turn four on lap 15 when the pursuer suddenly became the leader with an inside pass. Being relegated to second did not deter Roa. He kept the heat on the new front-runner and six laps later, on the worn-out turn two surface, drove around him and reclaimed the lead. From that point on, Roa hit all his marks and went on to win his second consecutive USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series main by a comfortable margin. "We were back and forth (in the pit area) after the heat race wondering if we should set it up for three and four or one and two," the happy winner explained to the crowd after the race. "On a track as technical as that, this end was night and day different from that end. This Tommy Malcolm (second place finisher) kid might be here to stay. That was two in a row that I was worried about him. Congrats to him and his guys and congrats to Daniel Whitley on finishing third. I cannot say enough about this May Motorsports team. This is a 360 that Winfield builds. It is a family operation. They are awesome to be associated with." While he is not racing for points in USAC/CRA in 2022, Roa has clearly been the hottest driver in the series since the end of May. In the four starts since May 28th, he has a third-place finish, a second, and has won the last two races. That gives him a dazzling 1.75 main event finishing average in those events. After taking this weekend off, Roa will be participating in one of the most popular races on the USAC/CRA Series Schedule, the annual California Racer's Hall of Fame night at Perris Auto Speedway. On the Thursday before last year's edition of the race, Roa flew with his wife Tailor and their daughter Addi to start their family vacation in Montana. At 6:00 AM on Saturday morning, Roa flew back to Southern California for the race. It proved to be a very smart decision. To start the night, he was fast qualifier (really, that is not a joke). He then placed second in the dash. In the 30-lap main event, he took the lead on lap 28 and went on to the victory. In addition, he also received the "In The Spirit Bagley Family Award" which went to the highest finishing family-owned car. At 6:00 a.m. on Sunday, he was back at the airport heading to Montana to rejoin the family in "Big Sky Country." In 2022, Roa is racing in the USAC/CRA, USAC National, and other select events, in his #91R BR Performance/HD Industries Eagle. He will also drive the #8M for May Motorsports in select USAC West Coast events. The 2019 USAC Southwest and 2017 USAC West Coast champion is always open to discussing other driving opportunities. Roa and the team want to thank the following sponsors for making the 2022 season possible. HD Industries, Burris Racing, Sander Engineering, Inland Rigging, Caltrol, "Biker" Bruce Fischer, Competition Suspension, ALR Virtual Services, K-1 Race Gear, Molecule, Rod End Supply, Driven Racing Oil, Baldwin Filters, and NGK Spark Plugs. In addition, the veteran driver offers thanks to RDM Mechanics, Fastenal, Coopers Propane, Ten West Towing, Ten West Environmental, TJM Distribution, and Westco International for sponsoring the #8M he will pilot for Jayson May on 10 occasions in 2022.

  BRODY ROA RETURNS FROM INDIANA SPRINT WEEK IN TIME FOR SANTA MARIA

  (Cypress, CA, August 4, 2022) After competing in Indiana Sprint Week for the first time since 2019, California veteran sprint car racer Brody Roa will be right back in action when the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series hits the track this Saturday night, August 6, at the Santa Maria Raceway. Roa will be behind the wheel of the familiar #8M owned by Jason May. 297600357_594988459006375_2859684926541153518_n.jpg Brody Roa will be in Jayson May's #8M at Santa Maria on Saturday. Jayson May photo. After being shut down due to Covid in 2020, the Santa Maria Raceway, which first hosted racing in 1964, reopened in 2021. However, circumstances that had nothing to do with racing, caused the track to be shuttered a little over a year ago. Much to the dismay of fans and drivers alike, rumors swirled that the popular track was done for good. But persistence by the track operators paid off and the facility roars back to life on Saturday for the first time in 2022. Like all drivers, Roa was ecstatic to hear the track was reopening. His prowess at Santa Maria has been phenomenal and is second to none in USAC/CRA competition there since 2017. In the seven series races at the San Luis Obispo County 1/3 mile oval over the last five seasons, the affable Garden Grove, California racer has only finished worse than second two times. One of those results was a third-place finish. His other five appearances produced three wins and two second-place outcomes. Saturday's race will be Roa's first time back in May's car since a pair of races at Central Arizona Speedway on the second week in February. At the first night of action at the track located in Casa Grande, Roa had a good size lead when his car started running out of fuel in the waning laps. He ended up with a frustrating fifth-place finish. Twenty-four hours later he placed second at the same venue. Indiana Sprint Week consisted of eight races in nine days. One of the races, the Terre Haute Action Track, was rained out. Another at the Lawrenceburg Speedway was rained out just before the main event. In seven nights of competition in the "Hoosier State," Roa, 31, qualified for the main four times. Racing against the toughest fields of the year, the mains he qualified for were at Lawrenceburg (the rainout), Circle City Speedway in Indianapolis, Bloomington Speedway, and the Tri-State Speedway. "Well we're finally home from Indiana Sprint Week," Roa told his Facebook followers on Monday. "So glad to get home to my girls, my wife Tailor, and our daughter Addi. That was a long two weeks away. Our Sprint Week I feel was pretty solid even though the end results don't show so much. Poor qualifying efforts on the driver's end, as usual, set us way back for the rest of the night. Any feature we missed was by one or two spots after coming from deep in the semi or C main. A huge thank you to all of the people that made this trip possible and my amazing wife for holding down the fort at home. I know it wasn't easy." For fans who would like to see what Roa and the #8M can do on Saturday, the gates will open at 4:00 p.m. with racing at 6:00. Santa Maria Raceway is located at 1900 Hutton Road in Nipomo (93444). Roa will get a week off before returning to action in the California Racer's Hall of Fame Night at Perris Auto Speedway on August 20th. That night will feature $1,000.00 for the fast qualifier, $2,000.00 to win the trophy dash, and over $5,000.00 in main event lap money. In 2022, Roa will race USAC/CRA, USAC National, and other select events, in his #91R BR Performance/HD Industries Eagle. He will also drive the #8M for May Motorsports in select USAC West Coast events. The 2019 USAC Southwest and 2017 USAC West Coast champion is always open to discussing other driving opportunities. Roa and the team want to thank the following sponsors for making the 2022 season possible. HD Industries, Burris Racing, Sander Engineering, Inland Rigging, Caltrol, "Biker" Bruce Fischer, Competition Suspension, ALR Virtual Services, K-1 Race Gear, Molecule, Rod End Supply, Driven Racing Oil, Baldwin Filters, and NGK Spark Plugs. In addition, the veteran driver offers thanks to RDM Mechanics, Fastenal, Coopers Propane, Ten West Towing, Ten West Environmental, TJM Distribution, and Westco International for sponsoring the #8M he will pilot for Jayson May on 10 occasions in 2022. If you or your company would like to jump on board and receive recognition as a team partner throughout the 2022 racing season, please give the two-time USAC champion racer a phone call or drop him a note at the contact information on the top of this release.

  STOCKTON SCORE: NETTO SURVIVES FRANTIC FINAL LAP TO CLAIM SALUTE TO LEROY VAN CONETT

  (7/23/2022 - Alex Nieten) Stockton, CA... There's just something about D.J. Netto at Stockton Dirt Track. The 26-year-old is known for having a fearless mindset behind the wheel and a heavy right foot, a combination that suits him perfectly when aboard a sprint car on the lightning fast 3/8ths mile oval that is Stockton. Saturday night proved as much as Netto led all 30 laps of the NARC Fujitsu General Sprint Cars' Salute to NARC Champion LeRoy Van Conett, surviving a final lap attack from Shane Golobic to win by just a car length and take home a $6,000 prize. Netto's victory adds to his Stockton statistics that highlight how strong the Hanford native is at the track. His fifth overall NARC triumph is his second at Stockton after he claimed last year's season opener. He now owns nine top-threes in 22 career NARC Stockton starts, a 41-percent podium clip. And he has finished fourth or better in 10 of his last 11 series starts there. "Our car was good and we were able to maintain," Netto said in victory lane. "I've got to thank my dad and uncle for getting me to this point and allowing me to do this and have fun with each other. Corey Guy and Doug Watts do a great job with this car and motor, and Jason Riley does great on the tires." Netto led the field to green courtesy of his Sunnyvalley Bacon Dash win with Golobic alongside. Netto drifted up in front of Golobic who looked to Netto's inside out of turn two. The duo roared side by side into turn three before Netto prevailed with the lead by using a quicker top line. The leaders set a fast pace and became slightly stretched out in the early laps. Once lap traffic became a factor just before lap 10, though, the battle at the front tightened. Slower cars were tricky to navigate, and Golobic quickly closed the gap. Heading into turn one on lap 12 Netto tripped up on the cushion and Golobic pounced. The Fremont native dove to the inside and cruised by Netto, pulling him by five car lengths down the backstretch. Just after the pass the race's first yellow flag flew when a shredded tire sent Dominic Scelzi's spinning. Stockton's official scoring determined that the lap had not been completed, handing the lead back to Netto. "I made a mistake there in traffic," Netto said of momentarily losing the top spot. "Traffic was very hard to judge. You're carrying so much more speed than them, and you're trying to judge where they're going to go. I made a mistake there and overdrove getting into (turn) one, and that was enough for Shane to capitalize. Fortunately, I guess the yellow came out and put us back up front." Netto darted ahead on the restart, but Golobic again stayed within striking distance as they approached traffic. Another issue on the cushion inside of 10 laps to go nearly cost Netto as Golobic looked low, but another timely caution flew for Angelique Bell stopping in turn four. "The yellows kept coming out at the right time," Netto explained. "My car was good in clean air, but if I got behind somebody I got real right, so I was just trying to make smooth laps." The green flag brought the field back to life with just six circuits remaining, and Golobic stayed right behind Netto as the laps waned. Golobic used a diamond line in turns one and two to get a run down the backstretch each lap and found himself right on Netto's tail tank as the white flag flew. The two screamed down the backstretch for the final time with a slower car ahead. Netto looked low to try and clear the car but nearly drifted into them as Golobic built a run on the top. Netto slid to the top and Golobic ducked under him, but Netto had just enough momentum in his Netto Ag/Penny Newman Grain No. 88N to hold on and win by just one tenth of a second. "I had to throw a Hail Mary there," Netto said of his last corner move on the slower car. "So, I knew once I spun my tire getting off (turn) four that Shane had to be close, so I just tried to make the car wide coming off the corner and tried to protect the line that I felt had grip. Shane's really good here. If you come to Stockton, you know you're going to be running against Shane. I'm happy we were able to come out on top." Golobic's runner-up marked his best finish of the 2022 NARC campaign and his fourth podium this year aboard the NOS Energy Drink/Elk Grove Ford No. 17W. "I can't thank my team enough," Golobic said of his Matt Wood Racing crew. "They gave me the fastest car here, I think. It's just a pleasure to drive." Completing the podium was another driver notching his best NARC result of the season. Bud Kaeding brought the Al's Roofing Supply No. 69 home third, his first appearance in the top-three this year as he and BK Racing begin to build some momentum. "I'm just glad to be up here," Kaeding said. "I'm glad we're getting going good with our whole team. We're kind of gaining some steam here for the end of the season, hopefully, and we've got some results to prove it." The remainder of the top-10 included Tim Kaeding, Mitchell Faccinto, Dominic Scelzi, Willie Croft, Nick Parker, Dylan Bloomfield, and Max Mittry. FUJITSU GENERAL USA FEATURE (25 laps): 1. D.J.

  BRODY ROA HEADS TO INDIANA SPRINT WEEK

  (Cypress, CA, July 19, 2022) For the first time since 2019, Southern California sprint car racer Brody Roa is headed to the grueling Indiana Sprint Week. Beginning Friday at the Gas City I69 Speedway, Sprint Week will feature eight races, on eight different tracks within the space of nine days. Roa, who lives in Garden Grove, heads into Sprint Week after winning the inaugural Bubby Jones/Ray Scheetz Memorial at Perris Auto Speedway on June 25th. That victory came two weeks after a second-place finish in the USAC/CRA main event at the Ventura Raceway. PAS 6_25_22=91r Win=5327-3#FDE5.jpg Brody Roa salutes the crowd after his win in the inaugural Bubby Jones/Ray Scheetz Memorial at Perris on June 25th, Doug Allen photo. While the win was his first of the 2022 campaign, Roa has had a good first half of the season. Thus far in 12 sprint car starts, the 31-year-old has 10 top 10 finishes and seven top fives. In addition to his starts in sprint cars, in January at the Chili Bowl Midget Nationals in Tulsa, Oklahoma, he placed 15th in his preliminary night A Main, and 13th in the C Main at the finale. Trying to put the fun back into his racing, over the winter Roa made the decision to not race for points in 2022. Thus far in those twelve main events starts, he has raced with four sanctioning bodies. The bodies are the aforementioned USAC/CRA Series, ASCS/CAS, and the winged King of Thunder and the World of Outlaws Series. Roa, and his father Brett, left on the trek to the Midwest on Tuesday night. It will be their fifth Indiana Sprint Week. However, this time around they will be missing award-winning crew chief Zac Bozanich and longtime mechanic Joe Gibb who was unable to make the trip. The Roa's will be joined by regular crew member Tyler Stockton and Pennsylvanian Zach Hollinger for the eight nights of action. "Oh, I am excited," the "Pride of Garden Grove" said when asked if he was pumped to be going back to Sprint Week. "It is going to be fun and it is going to be exciting. What I am looking forward to the most back there is the same as every trip. Lawrenceburg! I love going there." One thing that every driver must be concerned about right now is the tire situation. They are hard to come by for everyone including Roa. "It is still a little questionable," the driver frustratingly explained. "I think I found enough tires that were in good shape. Jason May (who owns the #8M 360 Roa occasionally drives) basically cleared his trailer out of what he had. That puts us in really good shape on left rears. I don't know if we will even have to get a left rear while we are back there. I have one new medium, so at least we are showing up with something for the right rear. I have talked to some people about some good takeoffs they have. So, we have some tires to at least get started during the week. I just have to be sure we bring some home to hopefully run Santa Maria on August 6th in Jason's car." After Friday's race at Gas City, the series will travel to Kokomo Saturday, Lawrenceburg on Sunday, and the Circle City Speedway on Monday. Tuesday will be a night off before returning for the second half of the series on Wednesday at Terre Haute, Lincoln Park on Thursday, and Friday at Bloomington.

  NARC SET TO SALUTE SERIES LEGEND AT STOCKTON DIRT TRACK

  (7/18/2022) Sacramento, CA... This weekend the NARC Fujitsu General Sprint Cars will honor one of the best to ever compete with the Northern Auto Racing Club as Stockton Dirt Track hosts the Salute to LeRoy Van Conett. Before Brent Kaeding became the man to beat with NARC, Van Conett, nicknamed The Dragon from Galt, held that title for nearly two decades. Over a 16-year period (1969-1984), The Dragon claimed all eight of his series titles, which still ranks second all-time, and dozens of victories. Saturday's racing represents a tip of the cap to the West Coast legend. Van Conett will be on hand to take in the racing on Saturday and give fans an opportunity to get an autograph or a photo with the eight-time NARC champion. The Stockton stop will be the second of a series-high four for NARC in 2022 with the remaining pair of trips set for August 27th and November 5th. Saturday's Fujitsu Feature will award a stout $6,000 to the winner. Joining the NARC 410 Sprint Cars this weekend will be the Tri-State Pro Stocks and California Hardtops. Championship Chase Dominic Scelzi continues to lead the standings, but for the first time all season Willie Croft cut a good chunk of the deficit off. Croft came home seventh at the Howard Kaeding Classic while a cut tire for Scelzi resulted in him finishing 18th. Croft also earned Fast Time at the HK, giving him an extra point and chopping off a total of 12 markers from Scelzi's advantage. The gap between the two is down to 32 points. Behind the top-two, Justin Sanders' Howard Kaeding Classic win propelled him onto the standings podium. He's now in third slightly ahead of Bud Kaeding, and a little further back is Mitchell Faccinto completing the top-five. Who to Watch The last two series champions, Fresno's Dominic Scelzi and Hanford's D.J. Netto, will be a pair to keep an eye on. The defending titlist, Dominic Scelzi, owns a trio of NARC victories at Stockton, most recently pocketing $6,000 in last August's Champions Classic. The Dominator has also shown consistency at the San Joaquin County oval. Excluding a lone DNF, Scelzi's last five series starts at Stockton have yielded three podiums, a 3.2 avg. finish, and no result worse than fifth. D.J. Netto is always a threat when he signs in at Stockton. The 2019 champion had an incredible streak ended at this year's season opener hosted by the 3/8ths mile. Leading into that race back in April, Netto had nine straight top-four series finishes at Stockton, so he'll look to start another impressive streak Saturday. Another noteworthy number is that eight of Netto's 26 career podiums (31%) have come at the Central Valley facility. Fremont's Shane Golobic is Stockton's all-time leader in sprint car victories. While a majority of those victory lane trips have been outside of NARC action, he does own a pair of 410 triumphs with NARC. Two-time series champion, Tim Kaeding, will look to add to his current tally of 72 career NARC victories at a track that's been very kind to him. In eleven series starts at Stockton, the San Jose wheelman has picked up a pair of wins, notched six podiums, and only missed the top-10 once. TK also owns an impressive seven top-10s in nine Stockton features with the World of Outlaws. Bud Kaeding will continue to try and end his winless drought at a track where he's found success. The Campbell driver's most recent series win came at Stockton in August of 2019, and he won a NARC show there in 2016. In his last 45 series events Kaeding has stood on the podium in eight of them just not on the top step, a streak he hopes ends Saturday. Other drivers expected to compete include Hanford's Mitchell Faccinto, Colfax's Willie Croft, Benicia's Billy Aton, Sebastopol's Joel Myers Jr., Redding's Max Mittry and more. Fan & Competitor Info The NARC-King of the West Hoosier Tire format will feature ARP Fast Time Qualifying, 8-lap Heat Races, a 6-lap Sunnyvalley Bacon Trophy Dash, and the Fujitsu General USA 30-lap Feature. The pit gate will open at 3:00 P.M. with the front gate following at 5:00 P.M. Racing is scheduled to begin around 7:00 P.M. General Admission tickets will be $25. Kids (ages 5-12), seniors (ages 65+), and military with valid ID will be admitted for $20. Kids 4 and under are free. The Stockton Dirt Track is located on the San Joaquin County Fairgrounds at 1658 S Airport Way Stockton, CA 95206. For more information call 209-466-9999 or visit stocktondirttrack.com.

  GETTING IT DONE: SANDERS SNARES ELUSIVE 410 WIN AT THE HOWARD KAEDING CLASSIC

  (7/16/2022 - Alex Nieten) Watsonville, CA... After winning the Sunnyvalley Bacon Dash to position himself on the pole of Saturday's Howard Kaeding Classic finale, Justin Sanders simply said all that was left to do was for him to "get it done." The 29-year-old has had a trying season at times as a win with the NARC Fujitsu General Sprint Cars had eluded him in seemingly every way possible. Heading into Saturday's main event, Sanders owned seven top-fives in 13 NARC starts in 2022 including four in the top-three, just none atop the podium. Sanders' frustration has been evident in post-race interviews where he's reflected on a move or two that might've led to a win on a night he had to settle for second or third or an unfortunate dash draw set him up unfavorably. After the checkered flew Saturday at Ocean Speedway, though, the only emotion Sanders displayed was pure joy. The Mittry Motorsports pilot took advantage of his starting position and led all 30 laps of the Fujitsu Feature on his way to victory, the 12th of his career with NARC. In other words, he "got it done." The joy came out in the form of a superb set of donuts on the backstretch, slapping the panels and wings as he emerged from the car, and a wing dance where Sanders climbed atop his machine and simply laid on the wing, soaking it all in. "It's been such a long time since I got a big win," Sanders said in victory lane. "I just kind of needed a break, and I just let loose on those donuts. Sorry, Demo (car owner Demo Mittry), for your motor." Sanders' adjective choice to describe the win, "big," might be an understatement. The victory earned him $7,200 total, $6,900 for the winner's share and $300 for the Mettec Titanium laps led bonus. Sanders is also a native of nearby Aromas with countless wins at Ocean, but none had been in the NARC finale of Howard Kaeding Classic, perhaps the most prestigious event his home track hosts. Sanders had ran second twice in the race before Saturday. Racing began with Sanders leading the field to green in the Farmers Brewing Co./Mittry Construction No. 2X, and current NARC points runner-up, Willie Croft, to his outside. A collection of cars made contact near the back of the back resulting in a flat right right tire for 2021 HK winner, Sean Becker, and necessitating the race's first caution. Under the yellow, NARC point leader, Dominic Scelzi, joined Becker in the work area as he suffered a flight right rear of his own. The complete restart saw Sanders jump ahead and fourth-starting Joel Myers Jr. slide by Croft to snag the runner-up spot. Sanders found himself mired in traffic early on lap five, allowing Myers Jr. to close in. "It's so hard to not get worked up and start doing dumb stuff (in traffic)," Sanders said of his mindset as he navigated slower cars. "And I did that when I first caught traffic. I was sliding through the middle, kind of trying dumb moves." On lap 10 Myers gathered enough momentum to throw a slider at Sanders but couldn't clear him, and the yellow flag flew just as the rest of the top-five was closing on the lead duo for Max Mittry who stopped on the exit of turn four. Racing resumed with 21 laps to go, and Sanders wasted no time stretching his advantage to roughly two seconds. He found himself in traffic again quickly but utilized a more pragmatic approach this time around. "The second time I got to traffic I was watching them," Sanders explained. "I'm trying to watch, and I could see that they were kind of the same speed, so if I thought a guy was slower and going to go to the top, I'd try to roll the bottom and try to hit it and try to be methodical about my moves." As Sanders negotiated slower cars, his biggest challenger was working his way forward in the form of 12th-starting Blake Carrick. The Carrick Motorsports driver expertly rolled the bottom of the track, cracking the top-five on lap 14 and prying the runner-up spot from Myers Jr. just seven circuits later. Carrick closed in on Sanders and even showed him a nose a couple times, but the duo caught slower cars at times that favored Sanders, allowing him to ease back ahead. "I saw Blake Carrick stick his nose in off of (turn) two," Sanders reflected. "And I was like 'I know I didn't lap him, so he's got to be in second.' So, I know he's really good at rolling the bottom, and I knew once I got by that last car on the last lap I'd be good." And that's exactly what Sanders did, clearing one final lap car before taking the checkered flag with a nine tenths of a second advantage. "I'm just pumped to get this win," Sanders said. "I'm just kind of speechless." Carrick held on to the runner-up spot. The second-place effort marked his best career NARC finish in the CVC Concrete/Carrick Motorsports No. 38B. "I didn't actually know I was in second until I was catching the 2X, and I figured I'd check the leaderboard," Carrick explained. "I saw I was in second and we had nine (laps) to go, I think. I got right to him, and it was just tough on lap traffic. I went to the top a couple times to try to get around him, and I just wasn't too good up there. I just can't thank my guys enough. I've been super good the past five or six races." Completing the podium was Joel Myers Jr. in the All About Fire Protection/Amerikote Powdercoating No. 46JR. The effort equaled the Sebastopol native's best finish with NARC. "Lap traffic was pretty sketchy," Myers Jr. said. "Everyone was everywhere. Justin had to go where they weren't and we caught up to him. I was able to try and slide him and unfortunately couldn't clear him and then a yellow came out. After that we just started getting tight in the cushion, and. Blake snuck by us on the bottom." The balance of the top-10 included Tim Kaeding, D.J. Netto (from 22nd), Shane Golobic, Willie Croft, Colby Copeland, Bud Kaeding (from 18th), and Landon Brooks. FUJITSU GENERAL USA FEATURE (30 laps): 1. Justin Sanders 2X 2. Blake Carrick 38B 3.

  HONORING THE FAMILY LEGACY: BUD KAEDING'S PROMOTIONAL EFFORTS FOR THE HOWARD KAEDING CLASSIC

  (7/14/2022 - Alex Nieten) Watsonville, CA... Most people recognize Bud Kaeding for his versatile prowess behind the wheel of both wing and non-wing Sprint Cars along with Silver Crown cars, but every summer he briefly shifts gears to promoting in a diligent effort to honor his iconic grandfather. The Kaeding's are undoubtedly the most familiar family of racing on the West Coast, and it all began with Howard Kaeding and his utter domination of San Jose Speedway in the mid to late 20th century among other accomplishments, so it's only right that the legendary patriarch has a prestigious weekend of racing to salute his achievements. Eleven years ago the Howard Kaeding Classic was born at Ocean Speedway, and this weekend the 12th edition of the race will take place as it continues to elevate its status as a marquee event with each passing year. Howard's grandson, Bud, has played an instrumental organizational role to make the event one of the most coveted on the NARC tour. After current Ocean Speedway promoter, John Prentice, helped come up with the idea, Bud's work began in making it a special weekend and continues to this day. "John Prentice actually came up with the idea to put on a race honoring my grandfather," Bud explained. "He felt it was appropriate. My grandfather is always at his races, always good to John and his family, so John came up with the idea. "As the race kind of evolved," Bud continued. "We tried to build it a little bit bigger and a little bit better every year as far as raising funds for the drivers with awards and part giveaways, stuff like that." On top of those contingency prizes, Kaeding has gathered a consistent collection of supporters that allow the purse to be very racer friendly. The NARC finale this Saturday will award a healthy $6,900 to win, but perhaps most notably is the fact that the main event will pay at least $800 to start. Put it all together and the result is a very lucrative weekend thanks to Bud's diligence and the generous group of contributors. "I've got a lot of great supporters that help the event," Bud said. "They've always came back. It's a great group of people. Nowadays they kind of know it's that time of year, and when I call them the first thing they say is 'I'm sending a check today.' It's cool because a lot of those people know my grandfather from around the track, so they're honored to help an event in his name." While satisfying the racers is a big part of the equation, making the race a fun and unique experience for the fans is another major factor, one that Bud also gives plenty of attention. The Howard Kaeding Classic has developed into more of an event than merely a race. After Friday's racing concludes, the night is far from over. Every year a pizza party hosted by the Kaedings takes place right on the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds. Both racers and fans are welcome, and it gives those who fill the stands an opportunity to mingle with the drivers that draw them to the track in a relaxed environment. Then on Saturday afternoon prior to the racing, a BBQ luncheon is held on the fairgrounds that is also open to both fans and race teams. "We have High Five Pizza come in," Bud said. "And they do a little after-hours party on Friday night for the fans and drivers and all of the teams. And then on Saturday we have the lunch with High Five catering that as well. A lot of happenings go on for it. It's just fun to be a part of this event and fun to try come up with new gimmicks and new things to try to make something a little bit better for the next year." On top of creating an inviting atmosphere, the pizza party and luncheon both help benefit a good cause. The NARC Benevolent Fund goes toward aiding injured racers and their families in times of need, and a small donation is requested for each event with all proceeds going to the benevolent fund. "With the BBQ and stuff, all of the money that is raised for that goes to the NARC Benevolent Fund," Bud said. "We do a pretty good job every year, usually around eight to ten grand is raised, so that's a pretty cool part." In the lead up to the event, Bud and Howard use a blend of modern promotional methods via social media along with routes that were more common before the rise of technology. Putting the two together, they hope, appeals to a wider audience and helps fill the Ocean Speedway stands even more every year. "I build some flyers, and my grandfather is really old school," Bud said. "He drives around the Campbell area and puts them in restaurants, in the streets, everywhere. He also still runs an ad in the local newspaper for the race. I build the ads, and my grandfather takes them down there and has them run them. As far as the promotional side, nowadays we've started doing a lot more with social media, too." Looking toward the future, Bud and the rest of the family are satisfied with the current status of the Howard Kaeding Classic. Aside from increasing the purse when possible, no big changes are in the works except for one potential development to restore some tradition to the HK Classic weekend. "One thing I'd like to see is it get back to a two-day 410 race," Bud said. "I think the proper steps are being taken in 410 racing as far as car counts getting bigger, so I think that as our car count continues to grow that we'll be able to support a two-day 410 event there." The entire Kaeding family are major players in the effort to rebuild 410 racing on the West Coast, so it's only fitting that they have their sights set on making the Friday portion of the event a 410 race once again. Organizing and promoting may occupy a lot of Bud Kaeding's mind this time of year, but the 42-year-old still has plenty left in the tank behind the wheel of a sprint car, and the 2017 NARC champion will be looking to add to his extensive resumé this weekend. Kaeding, the 2014 and 2019 HK winner, is aiming for his third event triumph, which would equal him with Kyle Hirst for the most through 12 editions. And if he can pull it off, it'll simply be the icing on an already ideal cake as his hard work continues to be rewarded in the form of a special, highly anticipated event to honor his grandfather, the Howard Kaeding Classic.

  NARC SPRINT CARS HEAD TO OCEAN SPEEDWAY FOR HOWARD KAEDING CLASSIC

  (7/11/2022) Sacramento, CA... A fan favorite event is on tap this weekend for the NARC Fujitsu General Sprint Cars as Watsonville, CA's Ocean Speedway is set to host the 12th Annual Howard Kaeding Classic presented by Al's Roofing Supply. Racing will kick off Friday, July 15th headlined by the Ocean Speedway 360 Sprint Cars, and on Saturday, July 16th the NARC 410 Sprint Cars take center stage. The event honors the legendary patriarch of the Kaeding family who established a legacy as one of the greatest drivers of all time along the West Coast, primarily recognized for his countless triumphs at San Jose Speedway. Talent behind the wheel of a racecar has proven to be a genetic gift among the Kaeding lineage as Brent, Howard's son, is NARC's winningest driver of all-time, and most recently Brent's sons, Tim and Bud, have accomplished great things in sprint car racing across the entire country. The race is organized in large part by Bud whose annual efforts bring in plenty of support to help make it a lucrative night for racers, and 2022 is no exception. Saturday's Fujitsu Feature will pay $6,900 to win and a strong $800+ to simply make the show. "I've got a lot of great supporters that help the event," Bud said of the generous group. "They've always came back. It's a great group of people. Nowadays they kind of know it's that time of year, and when I call them the first thing they say is 'I'm sending a check today.' It's cool because a lot of those people know my grandfather from around the track, so they're honored to help an event in his name." The tradition of fan-friendly events at the Howard Kaeding Classic will also continue in 2022. After Friday's action wraps up, the Kaeding family will host a pizza party on the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds. And on Saturday afternoon prior to the racing the annual BBQ Luncheon will take place. Donations are required for entry to both with all proceeds will benefitting the NARC Benevolent Fund. Who to Watch A pair of Ocean Speedway experts in Fremont's Shane Golobic and Aromas' Justin Sanders have come oh so close to claiming the NARC portion of the Howard Kaeding Classic, and both hope to finish the job this year. The two of them own a combined six series triumphs at Ocean Speedway and five runner-up finishes in the HK. Both are former winners of the 360 portion and are looking to claim the coveted 410 feature this year. Fresno's Dominic Scelzi has spent much of the past two seasons adding prestigious event victories to his resumé, but he's still in search of a Howard Kaeding Classic win. In Scelzi's last two series starts in Watsonville, the current NARC point leader has finished third and second, so he'll look to occupy the remaining spot on the podium Saturday. While Bud Kaeding flexes his promoting muscles leading up to this race, his focus will shift to snagging a third victory in the NARC portion of the HK, which would equal Kyle Hirst's current record tally. Kaeding's five series victories at the Watsonville bullring suggest he's got a good shot. Bud's brother, Tim Kaeding, has been strong since returning from injury and will look to translate some recently built momentum into his first Howard Kaeding Classic checkered flag. At Dirt Cup a couple weeks ago, the San Jose driver picked up a win and didn't finish worse than eighth over three nights of racing in the Bates-Hamilton Racing machine. Kaeding is a seven-time NARC feature winner at Watsonville. Sean Becker is reuniting with Vertullo Motorsports to pilot the No. 83V this weekend. Last year the Roseville native ended a seven-year NARC winless drought with his victory in the Howard Kaeding Classic in Dave and Debbie Vertullo's machine. Other drivers expected to compete include Hanford's Mitchell Faccinto, Redding's Max Mittry, Benicia's Billy Aton, Sebastopol's Joel Myers Jr., Penngrove's Chase Johnson, Hanford's D.J. Netto, Clarksburg's Justyn Cox and more. Fan & Competitor Info The NARC-King of the West Hoosier Tire Format will feature ARP Fast Time Group Qualifying, 10-lap Heat Races, a six-lap Sunnyvalley Bacon Trophy Dash, a 12-lap Starr Property Management Semi if necessary, and the 30-lap Fujitsu Feature.
