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

Bates-Hamilton Racing expands to two car operation with Justyn Cox and Landon Brooks in 2025
Sacramento, CA…Bates-Hamilton Racing is pleased to announce it will be campaigning a pair of Sprint Cars on the West Coast this season, featuring drivers Justyn Cox and Landon Brooks. BHR would like to also announce that Hayden Klein has been promoted to Car Chief for both the 42x and 21L. From Josh Bates (BHR Co-Owner), "Over the past two and a half years Hayden has worked hard to expand his knowledge and build himself into an excellent sprint car mechanic. I'm excited to see how he develops in his new role with the team. With Landon running 30+ races in the 410 and Justyn going for a Placerville championship, I will be relying on Hayden more than ever especially on double duty nights." The now 30-year-old Cox has been the primary driver for BHR over the last two years and will continue to campaign the No. 42x entry. He will place his focus this season around Winged 360 Sprint Car racing at Placerville Speedway. "For 2025 it will be a different direction for me racing wise," Cox stated. "It came after a lot of discussion with family and those close to me. With my family growing, my work career evolving, and my injury last year, I came to the decision to scale back on my racing and stay closer to home, in hopes to be around my family the most I can." The major goal for Cox this season is to compete for a Placerville Speedway Sprint Car championship. He spoke about his excitement for that, as well as the opportunity that Bates-Hamilton Racing has put forth. "I love Placerville and look forward to my first full season at the best track in California. I'm thankful to have BHR behind me, along with all our sponsors for allowing that to be my reality in 2025. Most owners would probably throw an old guy away like me, but they've helped put together a good opportunity for myself and my family. I'm forever grateful to them and all the hard work it will take as a team for me to do this." Along with contesting the Placerville Speedway title the Clarksburg, CA native will also run select NARC 410 Sprint Car events, along with the Trophy Cup in Tulare aboard the BHR No. 42x. "This is a great step in allowing myself to race, let my children see what their dad loves to do, be involved in my kids sports and life events, while having a lot of fun nights up on the hill with family and friends. I can't wait to try and win some races, and maybe at the end of the season, add a Placerville Speedway title to my name." After running a few events at the end of this past season, Bates-Hamilton Racing is also thrilled to add Landon Brooks to its driver lineup in 2025. The Rio Oso, CA wheelman is set to pilot the No. 21L Winged 410 Sprint Car for the team. "I felt that we all grew together each night and went in the right direction as we progressed every week," commented Brooks. "I definitely felt that by the last night of Trophy Cup this past October we made huge progress." Brooks, who is fresh off a tremendous run at the Chili Bowl Nationals, earning a prelim win and top five in the finale, will compete in various High Limit Racing, World of Outlaws and NARC 410 Sprint Car events up and down the West Coast. He will also return to the Trophy Cup in Tulare with BHR aboard the No. 21L mount. "I had a great Chili Bowl last week, so it certainly has me excited for the 2025 season," said the 21-year-old driver. "I really enjoyed racing with BHR at the end of last year and look forward to driving for them on a more regular basis." Roger Hamilton added, "I'm really looking forward to this upcoming season. Josh, Hayden, Justyn, Landon, and I will be busy for sure! We certainly could not be doing this without the support of our great partners! Special thanks to Dave Lippert and Dan Ewart for their continued support!"

A travel day will be held on Sunday, before action resumes at the Douglas County Dirt Track in Roseburg, Oregon on Monday July 21st. Speedweek heads for the coast on Tuesday with a date at the beautiful Coos Bay Speedway on July 22nd and continues north to Cottage Grove Speedway on Wednesday July 23rd. Another travel day with a Fan Fest/ Kick-Off Party on Thursday sets up the SCCT debut at Skagit Speedway in Alger, Washington for the two-night "360 Summer Nationals" highlighted by a $26,000-to-win/ $600-to-start main event on Saturday. Speedweek all culminates with the "Hall of Fame Tribute-360 Battle Royale" on Sunday July 27th at Gray's Harbor Raceway in Elma, Washington. "I really want to thank the staff at Skagit Speedway for coming on board and working with us on Western Sprint Tour Speedweek," said Russell. "They are offering a great purse for the racers at the 360 Nationals, which should make for an outstanding weekend of racing. We're excited to visit Skagit and Elma for the first time with SCCT, as well as visit all the tracks that are a part of the week." Jon Hager with Skagit Speedway also shared his sentiments. "We are excited to collaborate with Scott and Kami to bring SCCT to Skagit Speedway. The 360 Summer Nationals will certainly benefit from the addition of several cars from down south and such talented drivers. The partnership has the potential to elevate an already great scene of 360 Sprint Car racing in the Pacific Northwest for years to come. We look forward to building a long-term relationship with the SCCT series." As is the norm, the Stockton Dirt Track wraps up the SCCT campaign with the "Tribute to Gary Patterson Part II" on Saturday November 8th. The event is part of an expanded two-week run for the GP race, which includes the NARC finale now taking place one week earlier. The Sprint Car Challenge Tour will be paired with the always exciting Hunt Magnetos Wingless Sprints at the finale. Thanks to the generous support from Elk Grove Ford, Hoosier Tires and RMI the SCCT champion once again pockets $10,000 cash. If a driver/team wins both the SCCT and Placerville Speedway titles, they will walk away with $20,000 total thanks to the Russell Motorsports Inc. Double Down Bonus.

NARC SPRINT CARS ANNOUNCE 2025 SCHEDULE
(12/9/24 - Jim Allen) Auburn, CA ... The Northern Auto Racing Club (NARC) has released a compelling 29-race 410 sprint car schedule for the 2025 season that is loaded with special events and prize money. The traveling west coast series, which crowns a King of the West sprint car champion, will invade 16 different dirt oval tracks in California, Oregon, and Washington, beginning with a March 8th season opener at the Stockton Dirt Track. Overall, the 66th annual NARC campaign will award more than $850,000 in prize money and awards, plus a championship point fund and product awards. The centerpiece of the season takes place in June with the Fastest Five Days in Motorsports, which will invade Southern Oregon Speedway, the Douglas County Dirtrack, Cottage Grove Speedway, Willamette Speedway, and Grays Harbor Raceway on consecutive nights beginning on June 11th. The "Road to the Dirt Cup" continues the following weekend with the June 19-21st Jim Raper Super Dirt Cup at Skagit Speedway. The winner of that Saturday finale will earn a stout $62,000 payday. Another energizing highlight on the calendar is the return of Calistoga Speedway and the ever-popular Louis Vermeil Classic on August 30-31st. The historic half-mile oval, located in the heart of Napa Valley's wine-country, has been dormant since 2019 due to political log jam on a sale of the facility. HMC Promotions is currently collaborating with local contractors to renovate the facility before racing action returns. The month of April features the first of five nights of NARC racing at Ocean Speedway in Watsonville, CA, starting with the Spring Fling on Friday, April 4th, followed by a return trip to the Stockton Dirt Track for the Asparagus Cup in Stockton (April 5th). The following Saturday (April 12th) Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico will provide the stage for the $10,000 to win Mini-Gold Cup. Chico also showcases the NARC sprint cars on June 7th for the David Tarter Memorial. The Tulare Thunderbowl Raceway wraps up the month with the April 26th Chris & Brian Faria Memorial on their one-third mile track. Antioch Speedway hosts the first of two events on May 10th, which leads into an action-packed Ocean Speedway/Thunderbowl Raceway doubleheader weekend on May 16-17th. The Tulare show is the lucrative Morrie Williams Memorial Twin-20 show, an event that was relocated from Kings Speedway in Hanford. Kings Speedway is still searching for a track promoter and is not on the 2025 schedule. Placerville Speedway is on the schedule twice in 2025, beginning with the popular Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial on May 31st. The series returns to the quarter-mile bullring on September 6th between the High Limit and World of Outlaw swings into the Golden State. Four July events sidestep the summer heat in California with premium coastal events within 15-miles of the Pacific Ocean. The "cooler weather" tour kicks off with the July 12th $5200 to win David Lindt Memorial at Petaluma Speedway. Race fans will also be excited to hear that the popular Howard Kaeding Classic at Ocean Speedway will now be a two-day 410 show on July 18-19th. Among Saturday's highlights is the HK Luncheon, which raises money for the NARC Benevolent Fund, and a $6900 to win, $1000+ to start feature event. The NARC sprint cars will make their only appearance of the season at the revitalized Santa Maria Speedway on July 26th. New to the schedule will be the return of the Johnny Key Classic as a 410-sprint car event on the NARC schedule. The 65th annual event, which has been a 360 race for the past couple of decades, takes place on August 2nd at Ocean Speedway. The season winds down in the Fall with Open Wheel Octoberfest at Antioch Speedway on October 11th and the October 25th October Classic at Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway. Once again, the Stockton Dirt Track will be the home of the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series season finale, featuring the 42nd annual Tribute to Gary Patterson on November 1st. The posh Brookside Country Club in Stockton will host the NARC Champions Celebration the following day. All NARC series' events are live streamed on Floracing.com.
