- Justyn Cox and Bates-Hamilton Racing head to Santa Maria Speedway Saturday
Coming out of an off weekend Bates-Hamilton Racing and driver Justyn Cox are set to resume the NARC 410 Sprint Car campaign with a trip south to Santa Maria Speedway this Saturday.
- NARC SPRINT CARS READY FOR TRIUMPHANT RETURN TO SANTA MARIA SPEEDWAY ON SATURDAY
(7/22/24 - Ben Deatherage) Santa Maria, CA ... The fire-breathing mudslinging 900+ horsepower machines of the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series are ready for lift off at the Santa Maria Speedway on Saturday, July 27th. It marks the first time since July 24th, 2021, that the series had journeyed to the scenic and beautiful Coastal Californian one-third-mile clay oval. "It's a dream come true to have a chance to race with NARC at Santa Maria," stated Templeton driver Kaleb Montgomery on his chance to run his first NARC race at Santa Maria. "I love Santa Maria, and it feels surreal to get the opportunity to be one of the guys that the kids today get to watch and cheer for. It's kind of like defending my home, so I will do whatever it takes to win that race because you got to defend home when the big dogs come." The companion division for the evening will be the BCRA Lightning Sprints, So Cal Dwarf Cars, and Hobby Stocks. Who To Watch Justin Sanders, on the basis of his victory at the Howard Kaeding Classic on July 13th, sits atop the points table of the NARC 410 Sprint Series in his quest for his first career series title. The Aromas racer has never started a race at Santa Maria, but his incredible trait of quick adaptability will undoubtedly come to good use. The pilot of the Mittry Motorsports #2X has a slim three-point lead but has won five times, including the most recently completed series event. Cole Macedo will also look to start his first feature at Santa Maria on Saturday, as he is a close second in the championship standings. From Lemoore and aboard, the Tarlton Motorsports #21X machine has a trio of wins to his credit with NARC in 2024 and is no doubt anxious to reclaim the point lead, one that he held for the first 16-races of the season. Inhabiting third in the standings, Roseville's Justyn Cox is leading an exciting point battle with an eighteen-marker margin ahead of fourth and fifth in the standings. Cox will aim for his first start at Santa Maria also. Continuing to lead the Rookie of the Year race, Caeden Steele will add another track to his growing resume to collect his first NARC victory. Steele has been close so many times this year and continues to be on the verge of a breakthrough win. The Easton valedictorian occupies fourth in the points table. Bud Kaeding from Campbell does have some Santa Maria experience. The 2017 NARC champion has amassed nine starts and has only finished outside of the Top 10 twice. Currently fifth in points, his best result was in 2019, when he ended the night third. The last time NARC came to Santa Maria, Billy Aton hit pay dirt. It is the Benicia battler's lone triumph with the prestigious series, but he hopes that lightning can strike twice and earn himself another victory. Lemoore's Gauge Garcia may not live on the Central California Coast, but his car owners at Keller Motorsports do. After traveling all season long, the Paso Robles-based team will have a much-deserved home game, as their bright young star is aiming for his first career NARC victory. Making the journey down the El Camino Real is Jarrett Soares, now residing in Gilroy. Soares has a pair of starts at Santa Maria both 14th place finishes when he made the show in 2014 and 2015. The aforementioned Montgomery is looking forward to a short thirty-minute drive on the 101 to put on a performance in front of his supporters. The young standout has been in decent form in 2024 and will hope to score an electric victory. Winning the NARC title in 2019, D.J. Netto has had several consistent runs over the years. The Hanford pilot is a perfect five for five in feature starts and Top 5 finishes with a career-best third in 2015. Others expected to compete include Dylan Bloomfield from Oakley, Penngrove's Chase Johnson, Nick Parker of Chico, Roseville's Ryan Bernal, San Jose's Burt Foland Jr., Tipton's Dawson Faria, Geoffrey Strole of Hanford and many more. Fan & Competitor Info Santa Maria Speedway is located at 1900 Hutton Road in Nipomo. The Pit Gates open at 1:00 PM, and the Front Gates open at 4:00 PM. Qualifying is set to start at 5:00 p.m. with racing at 6:00 p.m. Ticket prices are $30 for adults. The NARC 410 Sprint Series is the leading 410 Sprint Car tour west of the Rocky Mountains.

- SANDERS SNARES $6,900 NARC PAYDAY AT HOWARD KAEDING CLASSIC
(7/13/24 - Ben Deatherage) Watsonville, California ... Justin Sanders continues to impress on the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series campaign, taking home a big $6,900 check for winning the 14th Annual Howard Kaeding Classic at Ocean Speedway. The Monterey Bay, CA native solidified the lead after a spirited battle with Cole Macedo around the midway mark of the 30-lapper to secure his second career victory at the marquis event. Macedo grabbed the initial lead when the green flag dropped in the lucrative headliner. The Tarlton & Son #21 Maxim pilot was the recipient of a claymaker in turn two by Sanders on the following circuit. Sanders, aboard the Mittry Motorsports Farmers Brewing Company #2X KPC, was in the process of checking out before reaching lapped traffic on lap seven. Macedo took a swing at Sanders on the 10th circuit, but Sanders kept him in check and another caution waved shortly afterwards. On the restart Macedo again got around Sanders in turn four to pace the field on lap 13, only for Sanders to return the favor the next time around. Traffic became a factor again with a dozen circuits remaining until a late caution on lap 23 slowed the field one last time. Sanders took no prisoners the rest of the way to win by almost a second. "We had a really good race car and were really good in the midpoint of the race," commented Sanders in victory lane after his 19th career NARC main event. "I was sliding myself on exit, and I didn't know when to stop doing that. I didn't want to leave the top open for (Cole) to get a run on me going into turn three. It all worked out from us knowing when to move, how hard to push, and not making any mistakes with any lapped cars." Macedo finished a solid second. The podium was completed by 2005 NARC champion Sean Becker in the Bjork Construction #7B Maxim for car owner Don Bjork. Howard Kaeding's grandsons completed the balance of the top five finishers. 2017 NARC champion Bud Kaeding was fourth in the Kaeding Performance Center #29 Maxim, followed by two-time NARC title-winning Tim Kaeding in the Williams Motorsports #0 Maxim machine. Chase Johnson and Shane Golobic were next to take the checkered, chased by Williams Roofing Hardcharger and semi-transfer Michael Faccinto who starting 22nd. ARP Quick Qualifier Kaleb Montgomery and Ryan Bernal rounded out the top ten. The Heat winners were Sanders, Golobic, Johnson, and Becker. 2019 NARC champion D.J. Netto was victorious in the Starr Property Management B-Feature.

- NARC SPRINT CARS SET TO BATTLE FOR $6,900 HOWARD KAEDING CLASSIC PAYDAY AT OCEAN SPEEDWAY
(7/8/24 - Ben Deatherage) Watsonville, California ... The gorgeous and scenic Ocean Speedway is set to host the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series on Saturday, July 13th, for the 14th Annual Howard Kaeding Classic. Up for grabs will be one of the largest race purses of the season, including a huge $6,900 payday for the winner of the 30-lap feature event. "This event has gotten bigger and better each year, and it gains more and more momentum," commented event organizer Bud Kaeding, Howard's grandson. "The campground is full, and the afterparty Friday night has grown tremendously. It's turned into a really fun event. I've been fortunate enough to have a bunch of support not just in the local area but across the country helping me raise money for the purse, and there have been guys that have been there since the first one, and it's really cool to see the involvement and support." The race pays homage to Howard Kaeding, the patriarch of the legendary Kaeding racing family. Kaeding was victorious in 136 main events at the now-defunct San Jose Speedway, which is an all-time record. He won track titles at San Jose in 1973 and 1974 and boasted an incredible streak of 17 consecutive wins, all while starting in the rear of the field. The event features multiple sponsors and contributors to enhance the purse. Companion divisions include the IMCA Modifieds, Hobby Stocks, and WMR Midgets. The track will open the weekend with a Friday night bout featuring the Ocean 360 Sprints, IMCA Northern Sport Mods, Hobby Stocks, and WMR Midgets. Once the racing concludes on Friday, there will be an "afterparty" fully catered by the High Five Pizza Company. On Saturday at noon, the annual Howard Kaeding Luncheon will take place in the large tent in the pit area. Both events benefit the NARC Benevolent Fund and will feature live music. A suggested donation of a minimum of $20 would be appreciated for each function. Who To Watch Cole Macedo has only participated in the Howard Kaeding Classic twice. The last time he raced with NARC at Ocean, he was seventh in 2019. The Lemoore racer, aboard the Tarlton Motorsports #21, has logged a ton of laps at the facility over his career and would love to add a NARC win at the Howard Kaeding Classic to his impressive resume. Runner-up last year, Justin Sanders has been the man at Ocean. The Aromas ace has managed to post four career Howard Kaeding Classic podiums, including winning in 2022. Overall, Watsonville has treated the driver of the Mittry Motorsports #2X rather nicely, with three wins and nine podium finishes in twenty-four starts. Macedo and Sanders are tied for the NARC championship point lead after 16 events of the 23-race campaign. Defending race winner Shane Golobic was ecstatic at the drop of the checkered flag in last year's HK Classic. The Fremont racer had won four times at the facility with NARC but finally got the win at the Kaeding after finishing second in 2014, 2016, and 2019. Running for Bates-Hamilton Racing, Justyn Cox will look to click off a big payday for his team. Now calling Roseville home, Cox's best run at Ocean with NARC was in 2016 when he finished fifth at the Pombo-Sargent Classic. His best performance at the Kaeding was twelfth in that same year. He already has garnered a big win with the series at a similarly shaped track at Cottage Grove earlier this season. Speaking of Kaeding, Bud will look to add another win of this sentimental event to his family to his name. The Campbell chauffeur won his grandfather's race in 2019 and 2014 and was fourth in the 2023 edition. Also, the 2017 NARC champion has had the second-highest wins on the track since 2000, making five trips to victory lane. Speaking of Williams Motorsports, they have won this race an amazing five times: Jonathan Allard (2012 & 2013), the two times with Bud Kaeding mentioned above, and Kyle Hirst (2020). Hirst has an amazing record for this race as he has won it the most times, three, with three different car owners! This includes Roth Motorsports in 2015, Tarlton Motorsports in 2016, and with Williams in 2020. Tim Kaeding will be in the field with the Williams Motorsports team. Calling San Jose home, the 2002 and 2011 NARC title winner is the most winningest driver at Ocean with NARC since 2000, with seven visits to victory lane. However, he has yet to win the Howard Kaeding Classic. His career-best was second in 2011 and was third in last year's race. Kaeding has only been outside the Top 10 four times in his previous 22 NARC starts at Ocean. Caeden Steele from Easton cut his teeth at Ocean over the last few seasons. With all his remarkable runs this season, it would be a big moment if he could break through and open his NARC-winning account at this event. In the last two seasons, he's made the show and is looking for his first Top 10 at the HK Classic. Based on his 2024 performances, that seems to be an achievable goal. It'll be a home game of sorts for Gilroy's Jarrett Soares. Soares has ten feature starts at Ocean when NARC has been to town, and his best finish was tenth in 2016. Tanner Carrick of Lincoln will be in the house. He was 11th last year but had a masterclass run in 2021 when he was the runner-up. A shark to be on the lookout for at Ocean is 2005 NARC champion, Sean Becker. The driver of the Don Bjork owned entry from Roseville could become a two-time HK Classic winner backing up his first win in 2021. Other Rookie runners to watch this weekend are Clovis' Dominic Gorden and Gauge Garcia from Lemoore. Both drivers have also run a lot of laps at this facility in their young careers and will look to put that to good use. Additional NARC regulars in attendance will be Dylan Bloomfield from Oakley, Penngrove's Chase Johnson, Nick Parker of Chico, Benecia's Billy Aton, DJ Netto of Hanford, John Clark of Windsor, Ryan Bernal of Roseville. Fan & Competitor Info Ocean Speedway is located on the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds at 2601 E Lake Avenue in Watsonville. The Pit Gates will open at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday; Front Gates at 3:30 p.m., and qualifying will kick off at 5:00 p.m. The NARC 410 Sprint Series is the leading 410 Sprint Car tour west of the Rocky Mountains.

- SEAN BECKER CLAIMS DAVID LINDT MEMORIAL NARC EVENT AT PETALUMA
(7/6/24 - Ben Deatherage) Petaluma, CA ... Sean Becker hit NARC 410 Sprint Series paydirt by capturing the $5,200 to win the David Lindt Memorial at Petaluma Speedway. The pilot of the Bjork Construction #7B Maxim survived a late race skirmish with race leader Dylan Bloomfield and went on to score top honors in the 30-lap contest. It was his 12th series victory. "This team has been so close for so long, and when you get a carrot in front of you, you go eat it," said an overjoyed 2005 NARC champion, "I'm so happy for this team. We finally got a win with NARC, and we go to Watsonville next week, where I feel pretty confident there, too." After an opening race red flag, Dylan Bloomfield charged to the point in the Starr Property Management #83V Maxim, beating out Justin Sanders to the line on the second attempt to complete a lap. A couple of cautions put the brakes on the green flag runs, but Bloomfield rose to the occasion on each restart. The Oakley teenager set a blistering pace but struggled with a lapped car in the final few laps. In the process, Bloomfield and Becker got together as they battled for the lead. Bloomfield came to a halt with two to go and Becker would hold on to win his third NARC career event at Petaluma. "It was getting harder and harder to run the bottom, and Dylan kept missing it, and it breaks my heart to win the race like that. I did not mean to make contact with him. I drove that car a couple of years ago, and I have nothing but respect for Dave and Debbie Vertullo as car owners and Dylan as a driver," continued Becker. Sanders would settle in second in the Mittry Motorsports fielded Farmer's Brewing Company #2X KPC. Tarlton Motorsports pilot Cole Macedo would rally to finish third and earned Williams Roofing Hardcharger honors after the Tarlton & Son #21 Maxim started 13th. The Gary Silva Ranches #10 KPC, driven by Dominic Gorden, was fourth at the line after a spirited battle for much of the race with Macedo. Justyn Cox, aboard the Lippert Construction #42X Maxim, wrapped up the top five. Caeden Steele recovered from the back to finish sixth over Nick Parker. Billy Aton recovered from the opening lap incident to place eighth. The rest of the top ten included 2017 NARC champion Bud Kaeding and Gauge Garcia. Heat winners were Bloomfield, Aton, and Chase Johnson earlier in the night. Johnson, Burt Foland Jr., Koen Shaw, and Jake Haulot were all involved in an opening lap red flag and walked away unharmed.

- PETALUMA'S INAUGURAL $5,200 TO WIN DAVID LINDT MEMORIAL NEXT UP FOR NARC 410 SPRINT CARS
(7/1/24 - Ben Deatherage) Petaluma, California ... The high-powered NARC 410 Sprint Car Series is ready to kick up the adobe clay in the North Bay on Saturday, July 6th, for the first-ever $5200 to win David Lindt at Petaluma Speedway. This marks the 16th event of the 65th Anniversary NARC campaign, and lone appearance by the NARC series to the 3/8-mile oval. The ultra-competitive series has produced 10 different winners this season. "Dave Lindt was simply a Petaluma Speedway legend," commented Ron Lingron, longtime announcer at Petaluma and close friend of Lindt. "Locally, there was probably no other driver more popular than him, and this race is something that we needed to do for Junior, and we get to finally do it on Saturday. The other thing about him is he was so well like that whatever it is that made people gravitate towards you he had that dripping out of every pore, and you always wanted to be around the guy and he always had time for the fans." David Lindt Jr. was a longtime competitor at Petaluma Speedway and the winningest driver in the track's history in Sprint Car racing, with 46 feature wins. Lindt won five 360 titles (1998, 1999, 2000, 2003, and 2004) at Petaluma and tragically passed away in September 2017. Companion divisions on the night include the Redwood Dwarf Cars, 600 Micro Sprints, and Mini Stocks. Who To Watch The NARC championship title battle is a dogfight between Lemoore's Cole Macedo and Justin Sanders of Aromas. Macedo leads Sanders by a single point in the standings (1918-1917.) An interesting statistic about Macedo is that he has never started an A-Feature at Petaluma with NARC despite some 360 experience over the years. The Tarlton Motorsports #21 driver is looking to return to his winning ways. He has three wins on the season and has posted two straight third-place finishes. Unlike Macedo, Sanders has hit paydirt twice at Petaluma with NARC. The driver of the Mittry Motorsports #2X, achieved two victories, both in 2021. Sanders is coming off his fourth win of the season, the most anyone has achieved this season with the series and is looking to continue his high wave of successes. Racing for the Bates-Hamilton Racing #42X, Roseville's Justyn Cox has three career starts at Petaluma with NARC and has yet to finish outside the Top 10. Already a winner this year, Cox, posted a career-best sixth at the track last July when NARC was last in town. Notably, the team he drives for has had a lot of success at the track over the years, including winning championships with Herman Klein behind the wheel in 2014 and 2015. Clovis' Dominic Gorden continues to shine in his rookie campaign as he backed up a successful Jim Raper Super Dirt Cup weekend, including a preliminary win on the Friday portion of the program, with a second-place effort in Chico last Saturday. Other Rookie of the Year candidates in the house will be Gauge Garica from Lemoore in the Keller Motorsports #2K and Easton driver Caeden Steele. Penngrove pilot Chase Johnson and 2017 NARC champion Bud Kaeding of Campbell are the two active drivers with the most wins at Petaluma, each with three. All three of Johnson's career NARC wins have been at Petaluma, including last July during the Salute to Baylands. The three times Kaeding was first to the checkers were in 2008, 2015, and most recently in 2017. Jonathan Allard is the all-time series winner with five victories. Other standout talent, such as Billy Aton of Benicia, Windsor's John Clark, and Dylan Bloomfield from Oakley, will represent the Bay Area well. Other NARC 410 Sprint Car regulars expected to attend include Chico's Nick Parker, Tanner Carrick of Lincoln, Jarrett Soares of Gilroy and Sparks, NV driver Bill Smith.

- SANDERS PARKS IT WITH DAVID TARTER MEMORIAL NARC WIN AT CHICO
(6/29/24 - Ben Deatherage) Chico, CA ... Justin Sanders mastered a lap 15 restart to secure the race lead and went on to win the exciting 35-lap David Tarter Memorial at Silver Dollar Speedway with the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series. It was the second time he has won the event, the fourth time he has bested the NARC regulars during the current campaign. "I'm happy to get this win again, and for the whole Tarter family," said Sanders in victory lane in front of his Farmer's Brewing Company #2X KPC of Mittry Motorsports. "Everyone knows how tragic it was when we lost David, and I knew if I won, I had to park in turn four and point up a #35 for David," Sander, who previously won this event in 2021, stopped in the final corner on his victory lap and got out of his racecar to celebrate with the fans. The H.A.M. Construction #35KM entry, piloted by Tyler Thompson, seized control of the top spot at the drop of the green flag. The Beacon Wealth Strategies dash winner and ARP Quick Qualifier set a fast pace but lost the advantage on a lap nine restart to Sanders. Sanders powered his way past Thompson on the back straightaway only to be slowed once again by another caution period three laps later. On the ensuing restart, the Bjork Construction #7B Maxim of Sean Becker immediately pressured the leader taking the lead on lap 15. Unfortunately, Becker's efforts were halted due to the event's lone red flag for an upside-down Shane Golobic. He was unhurt. When the race resumed, Becker got a little high on the exit of turn two, resulting in the loss of the lead and a melee for the lead between Sanders and the Tarlton & Son #21 Maxim of Cole Macedo. Sanders won the race back to the flag stand and effectively checked out from the rest of the field, despite another caution period and heavy lap traffic. "It was nice to have that open red and put air back in the tires," continued Sanders. I felt like my tires were getting too low on those restarts, and I was getting too tight. I tried too hard to blaze it on the top in turns one and two, but the open red came out. We changed the air pressure a bit, and it gave me a chance to get my head on straight." Rookie of the Year contender Dominic Gorden made a late race surge and finished an impressive second aboard his J.I. Apparel Company #10 KPC. Macedo wound up third, and Thompson was credited with fourth. Chase Johnson in the Toyota of Marin, Walnut Creek, and Sunnyvale #24 Maxim rounded out the top five. The second five includes Caeden Steele, Becker, Justyn Cox, Michael Faccinto, and Ryan Bernal. Gauge Garcia earned the Williams Roofing Hardcharger Award finishing 12th after starting in the last row. Heat winners earlier in the night were Macedo, Sanders, Gorden, and 2017 NARC champion Bud Kaeding. 2019 NARC champion D.J. Netto won the Starr Property Management B-Feature.

- PETALUMA’S INAUGURAL $5,200 TO WIN DAVID LINDT MEMORIAL NEXT UP FOR NARC 410 SPRINT CARS
The high-powered NARC 410 Sprint Car Series is ready to kick up the adobe clay in the North Bay on Saturday, July 6th, for the first-ever $5200 to win David Lindt at Petaluma Speedway.
- NARC SPRINT CARS HEADED TO CHICO FOR DAVID TARTER MEMORIAL ON JUNE 29TH
(6/25/24 - Ben Deatherage) Chico, California ... The cars and stars of the NARC 410 Sprint Series return to Silver Dollar Speedway on Saturday, June 29th, for the David Tarter Memorial. This is the last chance for fans to catch the 900+ horsepower fire breathing monsters of the NARC circuit kick the clay and take your breath away at the historic 1/4-mile oval. The super competitive NARC 410 Sprint Car Series has featured nine different winners in as many events during the month of June and ten overall this season in 14-events. "This is a really special race for this track," said longtime Silver Dollar Speedway announcer Troy Hennig, "It's a great honor to have known David (Tarter), and it's fantastic that his family can come together and do so much for this race and be involved in making it better every year." The race is run in honor of David Tarter, who tragically lost his life on June 8th, 2012, in a freak pit accident at Silver Dollar. Since 2013, there have been five winners of the Tarter Memorial, including the all-time leader Kyle Hirst, who has had five triumphs. Corey Day is the defending champion, winning the most recent one in 2022, while Sean Becker, Craig Stidham, and Justin Sanders join him as one-time winners of the race. Several raffle prizes will be offered, including a special David Tarter helmet, a pair of specially crafted embroidered quilts, several gift cards, and commemorative apparel. The money raised from these items will go into the purse and be put towards the 360 bonus. It will also go to the Enloe Medical Center, benefiting children with an extended hospital stay. To purchase any merchandise, secure a lap sponsor, or contribute to the 360 sprint car bonus award, please get ahold of Shelly via her cell phone at (530) 513-1500 or directly on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/shelley.tarter.9. The NorCal Dwarf Car Association will be the companion division for the entire weekend. Friday, June 28th, kicks off the racing weekend and will feature non-sanctioned 410 Sprint Car, Hobby Stock, and IMCA Northern SportMod action for the Brownell & Herseth Memorial. Who To Watch Lemoore's Cole Macedo enters the event as the series point leader and is coming off a third-place result at the Super Dirt Cup finale last Saturday. Macedo put the Tarlton Motorsports entry in victory lane last March when he won a thrilling Mini Gold Cup. With three wins on the year so far, he will carry a slim five-point advantage into Saturday night. Out of Aromas, Sanders is looking to return to his winning ways at Silver Dollar Speedway after getting fourth on the last night of Dirt Cup. Already scoring three NARC wins in 2024, the pilot of the Mittry Motorsports team and current runner-up in the points table has two career wins with the series at Chico when the tour came to town. Roseville racer Justyn Cox is looking to score his second win of the current campaign and will hope to add a NARC victory at Chico to his resume. Currently third in the title race, the Bates-Hamilton Racing driver is currently third in the championship, with his best SDS NARC finish being a seventh in 2013, and he was ninth back in the Spring. Rookie runner Caeden Steele emerged fourth in points after the long Northwest Swing. The recent High School valedictorian graduate from Easton posted his first career NARC podium at the Mini Gold Cup in March, showing everyone that he is a young man who can contend for wins this year. Since then, he has been consistently fast and has been close to earning his first career series win. When the series last visited Chico, 2017 NARC champion Bud Kaeding was fifth. The Campbell chauffeur has earned two NARC wins at the track since 2000, with wins coming in 2009 and 2015. He is fifth in NARC points. Oakley's Dylan Bloomfield had a great run at the Mini Gold Cup, ending his night fourth in the Vertullo Racing-fielded mount, and was second at the non-sanctioned Fair Race during Memorial Day weekend. Bloomfield is another young talent that has been close to achieving that breakthrough first career NARC win. Chase Johnson was ultra-fast during the last Chico visit in March and led many laps. The Penngrove pilot is undoubtedly determined to win, as he showed cheetah speed in both Spring races and was the runner-up in the non-sanctioned Mini Gold Cup prelim on March 15th. 2019 NARC champion D.J. Netto has the most 410 wins at Silver Dollar Speedway in 2024. Winning the first night of the Mini Gold Cup weekend and the Fair Race in May, the Hanford racer hopes to score his first Chico win with NARC; his best finish was a second in 2017. Fremont's Shane Golobic is hungry for a Chico win in 2024 with NARC. He was second at the Mini Gold Cup and already has won with the series in the current campaign with a triumph at Thunderbowl Raceway in May. If he could score the victory on Saturday, it would be the first time he's beaten the series at Silver Dollar. Andy Forsberg is always a driver to watch. Winning the 410 track championships in 2006, 2008, and 2017, the Auburn driver has only achieved a single NARC win when the series came to town—that was back in 2003. But Forsberg is a driver you can't discount and is always a threat to win when he shows up in the pit area. The aforementioned Becker is another veteran who should not be written off as he has six 410 track titles to his credit including five in a row from 2012-16. Living in Roseville, he wowed everyone with an impressive runner-up at Stockton's Salute to LeRoy Van Conett in May. The 2005 NARC champion has yet to finish the year outside the Top 10 in the three 410 shows Chico has put on and was seventh at the Mini Gold Cup after starting a deep in twenty-second. He has four NARC victories at Chico, getting winner's checks in 2003, 2005, and twice in 2006. The rest of the NARC 410 regular contingent includes Skagit Speedway Super Dirt Cup preliminary winner Dominic Gorden of Clovis, Gauge Garcia of Lemoore, Chico's Nick Parker, Billy Aton representing Benecia, and Lincoln gasser Tanner Carrick. Other Californian competitors in the crowd will be Wilton's Ashlyn Rodriguez, Michael Ing from Chico, Concord teenager Joey Ancona, Jarrett Soares of Gilroy, and many more.

- COREY DAY DOMINATES SUPER DIRT CUP TO EARN $62,000 PAYDAY AT SKAGIT
(6/22/24) Algers, WA ... Corey Day officially checked off a Super Dirt Cup Finale victory from of his personal bucket list, walking off with a $62,000 payday after a dominating performance in the 40-lapper at Skagit Speedway. Day powered under polesitter Zeb Wise on lap 12, and mastered lap traffic the rest of the way to score a 2.961 second victory aboard the potent Jason Meyers Racing Sanders Engineering #14 KPC sprint car. It was Day's 16th career NARC 410 Series victory. Day made it the first father-son combination to win the Super Dirt Cup after his father won the race in 2000. Zeb Wise, in the Rudeen Racing #26R, set the pace chased by Justin Sanders, Day, Cole Macedo, and the rest of the stout 26-car field. Day, who started third, passed Sanders on the second lap and quickly began to reel in the leader. A caution period on lap eight tightened up the field and created a four lap side-by-side duel between the two frontrunners. Day made his winning move and then sliced and diced in traffic and was never threatened the remaining distance. Wise got locked in a heated battle with Cole Macedo and and the pair swapped positions for several laps. Jason Solwold, aboard the Scotties Plumbing & Repair sprinter, entered the exciting battle for second, but Wise won out in the end to score second at the Super Dirt Cup for the second year running. NARC point leader Macedo finished third in the Tarlton & Son #21 Maxim to fill out the podium. "This is unbelievable; I've been here three years now; I felt like we had a shot in 2022 and last year but just didn't put it together," said Day, the 2023 NARC series champion. "It feels so good to put this one together, and I owe it all to Shane (Bowers, crew chief) for a badass race car all night, all weekend, and a badass race track from the Skagit track crew, and to Kevin Rudeen for putting this whole event on and its awesome to be racing for this much money on the West Coast." "There was a hole in the middle of three and four, and the top cleaned off really quick, and I was just able to make a lot of speed there and get down the front straightaway really good," continued Day about the winning move. 2023 Super Dirt Cup winner Justin Sanders scored fourth in the Farmers Brewing Company #2X KPC. Justyn Cox completed the top five in the Diamond Plastics #42X Maxim. Solwold, Colby Thornhill, Friday prelim winner Dominic Gorden, Colby Copeland, and Jesse Schlotfeldt rounded out the top ten. Shane Golobic earned the Willams Roofing Hardcharger Award with an impressive 26th to 12th performance. Heat winners earlier in the night were Solwold, Cox, Macedo, and Copeland. Hunter Schuerenberg was the winner of the Starr Property Management B-Feature and Levi Kuntz got the job done in the Kaeding Performance C-Feature.

- DOMINIC GORDEN SCORES HUGE VICTORY WITH FIRST EVER 410 NARC WIN AT THE SUPER DIRT CUP
(6/21/24 - Ben Deatherage) Algers, WA ... NARC rookie driver Dominic Gorden scored his first ever 410 sprint car victory with an impressive performance at night two of the Super Dirt Cup at Skagit Speedway. Gorden battled with polesitter Tanner Carrick, took the lead on lap 20 and effectively checked out on the field in the 35-lap main event riding the cushion like a seasoned veteran. "This is amazing; it's been such an up and down, mostly down Speedweek so far, so to come out like this swinging is amazing," said the 18-year old emotional winner in victory lane "Last night wasn't our best night, but tonight Richard (Brown, crew chief), Jared, and Ashton got the car on rails, and from the drop of the green I knew we were going to have a solid car.". The feature started with Carrick seizing control of the top position. Carrick, piloting the California Waterfowl #83T Maxim, would have his efforts slowed by a pair of red flags in the first three laps. Once the green flag runs developed, he would be under heavy pressure from the Toyota of Marin #24 Maxim, but future cautions would break up any momentum Johnson had built up. At the midway point, Gorden brought his A-Game riding high on the cushion. He flew around the high side of the track in his JI Apparel Company #10 KPC. He would power past Carrick on lap 16 to take the lead, but Carrick was quick to take it back the next time to the line. Carrick did his best to hold back Gorden's aggressive advances, but the Rookie of the Year contender blasted past the leader on the 20th circuit. Gorden drove a flawless race the remaining distance to score the massive triumph. "(Carrick) knows how to fight off a slider, but I knew the top was better in two. It just took me a long time to get my momentum built up to pass him," continued Gorden. "We've been struggling with this car, but we've slowly been getting more and more notes on it, and finally, we got a night where I really felt I could put it anywhere." The Farmer's Brewing Company #2X KPC of Justin Sanders made a late race surge toward the front and grabbed second place with a few laps remaining for the Mittry Motorsports team. He started 10th. Corey Day also rallied late in the Jason Meyers Racing #14 KPC to earn the final step on the podium and the William Roofing Hardcharger honors after starting 16th. Carrick held on for fourth, chased by the Bates-Hamilton Racing-entry piloted by Justyn Cox. Johnson, Zeb Wise, Tanner Holmes, Jesse Schlotfeldt, and Willie Croft rounded out the top ten finishers at the checkered. Jason Solwold was the ARP Fast Qualifier. Heat winners earlier in the night were Shane Golobic, Bud Kaeding, Dylan Bloomfield, and Hunter Schuerenberg. Eric Fisher and D.J. Netto were involved in flips in the program and were uninjured.

- DOMINIC GORDEN SCORES HUGE VICTORY WITH FIRST EVER 410 NARC WIN AT THE SUPER DIRT CUP
NARC rookie driver Dominic Gorden scored his first ever 410 sprint car victory with an impressive performance at night two of the Super Dirt Cup at Skagit Speedway. Gorden battled with polesitter Tanner Carrick, took the lead on lap 20 and effectively checked out on the field in the 35-lap main event riding the cushion like a seasoned veteran.
- ZEB WISE STRIKES FIRST WITH JIM RAPER MEMORIAL SUPER DIRT CUP WIN
(6/20/24 - Ben Deatherage) Alger, Washington ... After surviving several late race restarts, Zeb Wise hit pay dirt on the opening night of the Jim Raper Memorial Super Dirt Cup at Skagit Speedway, scoring a 30-lap preliminary victory with the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series. Wise made the winning move after a lap 24 restart, driving the Rudeen Racing-Rayce Rudeen Foundation #26 Maxim. It was his first ever NARC sanctioned victory. The race began with the PGH Excavating #19 XXX, driven by Colby Thornhill, seizing the lead on the first lap and setting the pace in the Hoosier Racing Tires feature. Thornhill would be overtaken shortly after a restart by Willie Croft's Rudeen Racing #29 Eagle on the 11th circuit. Croft tried to peddle away from the rest of the field, but would be hunted down on the 20th circuit by Justin Sanders. Sanders, piloting the Mittry Motorsports-fielded Farmers Brewing Company #2X KPC, made a sweeping pass on the inside of turn four coming to the line on the 20th go round. He would stick in the top spot until reigning NARC champion Corey Day began to apply pressure. Day, piloting the Jason Meyers Racing-owned Sanders Engineering #14 KPC, outgunned Sanders for the top spot two laps later, before he slammed into the wall in turn two, handing the lead back. Capitalizing on a restart, Wise would drag race Sanders to the line on the 25th circuit and take the lead by the slimmest of margins. Three yellow flags would wave in the waning laps, but the Indiana native held on the remaining distance for the victory. "Before tonight, I watched videos of this place the last few weeks, and one thing that stood out to me was how good the middle was," spoke a very jubilant winner in victory lane. "I knew that was a major possibility the way the track was, and the bottom was pretty good. After that open red, I really didn't feel that good; I just got stuck in a spot and hung around. But a caution came out, and we were really good after that." "Justin (Sanders) kicked my ass last year, so it's nice to get a little bit of redemption, not for as much money, but we'll try and do that on Saturday. It's always good to race with Justin; we race cleanly together, and I like racing with him, and he always races with me respectfully, and that's all you can ask for." Sanders finished a very respectable second, with on the final step of the podium going to the Builder Outlet Super Store #18T XXX of Tanner Holmes. He started 10th. The Bates-Hamilton Racing-owned entry, piloted by Justyn Cox, posted a fourth-place result in the Diamond Plastics #42X Maxim. The top five included the Scottie's Plumbing & Repair #18 XXX driven by Jason Solwold. Corey Day recovered from a blown right rear tire to finish sixth. Justin Youngquist, Williams Roofing Hardcharger Greg Hamilton, Croft and Cam Smith rounded out the top ten. Heat winners earlier in the night were Day, D.J. Netto, Tyler Thompson, and Greg Hamilton. Mike Brown, Gauge Garcia, Dominic Scelzi, Cam Smith, Bailey Jean, Dylan Bloomfield, Shane Golobic, ARP Quick Qualifier Trey Starks, and Thompson were involved in flips during the night. Luckily nobody was seriously injured. Scelzi was diagnosed at a local hospital with bruised ribs.

- A HUGE $62,000 WINNERS CHECK ON THE LINE AT THE JIM RAPER MEMORIAL SUPER DIRT CUP
Alger, Washington- The time is near as the 900+ horsepower pilots of the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series gear up to take on their biggest paying weekend of the 2024 season at Skagit Speedway for three nights of action at the Jim Raper Memorial Super Dirt Cup. It kicks off on Thursday, June 20th, and wraps up on Saturday, June 22nd, as the Skagit Valley will roar with nonstop thrills and heart-stopping clay-shredding action on the historic 3/10-mile clay oval. "Skagit seems to suit my style, and I like the racetrack, so I'm looking forward to getting back," commented the defending champion of the race Justin Sanders. "To win the Dirt Cup, it's all about putting yourself in the right position in the prelim night and qualifying good and passing a lot of cars, you to be 110% every time you hit the racetrack. We'll be looking to do that and make it two in a row." Car counts are expected to be in the 45-plus range as teams from all over the Western United States and Canada converge on the Alger 3/10-mile clay oval. Thursday and Friday are reserved for preliminary nights to help determine who gets locked into the big dance on Saturday. The Northwest Focus Midget Series will be the companion division for the entire weekend. On Wednesday morning (6/19), there will be a Super Dirt Cup Scramble Golf Tournament at Avalon Links Golf Club in Burlington, benefiting the NARC Benevolent Fund and Rayce Rudeen Foundation. Later that night, Railroad Pub and Pizza will host a pre-race party from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Saturday morning (6/22), there will be a Fan Fest at the track featuring cars, a live band, food, and more from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM. The Format The two preliminary nights will emphasize lineup inversions, and accumulated points will establish the final Saturday night lineups. Thursday will be a 30-lap feature, while Friday is a 35-lap contest. On Thursday and Friday, points will be immediately earned in qualifying. The Fast Qualifier will earn 200 points with a two-point drop for each subsequent position. The heat races will be lined up with an eight-car inversion. The heat races will award 100 points to the winner, with a three-point drop for each subsequent position. The Top 20 in points after qualifying and heat races will be locked into the prelim features. Those outside the Top 20 will be positioned in the C-main and B-main, with the C sending the Top 4 finishers to the B and the B sending its Top 4 finishers to the feature. The Thursday feature will invert the Top 16 in points while Friday will be the Top 18. The feature winner will earn 200 points with a two-point drop for each subsequent position. The first criteria tiebreaker is the best finish in the respective main event, the second is rank in qualifying, and the third is the time of the second qualifying lap. Other tiebreaker criteria may be implemented if needed. A perfect score on a preliminary night is 500 points! The Top 18 in overall accumulated points from Thursday and Friday will be locked into Saturday's feature. The Top four of those 18 are locked into the Pole Shuffle, while four more drivers will get in the race by winning a qualifying heat. The finish of the Pole Shuffle will set the first four rows of Saturday's feature. The B-main will line up straight up on points and transfer the Top 4 finishers to the feature. Two cars will be added to the finale via a fan's and promoter's choices, totaling 26 cars. Money, Money, And More Money On top of paying a whopping $62,000 to win, drivers will have plenty of other ways to earn stout paydays. The runner-up will collect $26,000, while the third and fourth get paid $18,000 and $11,000, respectively. Fifth place pays $6,000, and simply making Saturday's main event will be worth $3,000. Courtesy of generous supporters, each lap in Saturday's 40-lap main event will award an extra $1,000, paid out $500-$300-$200 to the top three cars on every lap. Winning a prelim night will be no small payday, as Thursday and Friday pay $5,000 to win. Who To Watch Not only does Sanders return as the reigning Dirt Cup champion, but the Aromas ace has also been one of the toughest to beat on the NARC 410 Sprint Series roster. Dialing in a new chassis with their engine package has paid big dividends, as he has been lights out fast at many shows this year. Zeb Wise is undoubtedly hoping to park the famed Rudeen Racing #26 in victory lane on the last night of action. The Angola, Indiana native threatened eventual winner Sanders during the grand finale. It would no doubt be a massive win for the young man's career. Trey Starks is undoubtedly one of the local favorites for Dirt Cup yet again. Hailing from Puyallup, Washington, the two-time defending 410 champion has managed to win three out of five features at Skagit and has yet to finish outside the Top 5 at the facility this year. Last year's polesitter, Dominic Scelzi, is hungry to add a 410 Dirt Cup to his resume. The Fresno racer and two-time NARC champion has a lot of laps at Skagit, including some this year when he made a rare cameo on June 8th during a local 410 show. Fresno's Corey Day will look to finish what he started last year, winning the Dirt Cup for the Jason Meyers Racing team. The 2023 NARC champion, who also races full-time with the High Limit Series, won both prelim nights and almost pulled off the rare feat of sweeping the entire three-weekend weekend. The last driver to win all three nights of the Dirt Cup was Brent Kaeding in 1996. Jason Solwold is another top choice. The Burlington, Washington veteran has a lot of experience at Skagit and will hope to finally get a 410 Dirt Cup trophy to rack for himself and Shaylen Raye Motorsports car owner Mike Anderson. Cole Macedo's 2024 season has been impressive. Not only did he win the first two rounds of the NARC 410 Sprint Series, but the Lemoore, California pilot has also spent a lot of time in the Midwest with the High Limit Series and the World of Outlaws. He claimed the Fastest Five Days in Motorsports title last week. Leduc, Alberta driver Skylar Gee will be back home at a place where he and his father, Tim, have spent a lot of time. Spending the last few years living in the Midwest, Gee was very impressive last season at Attica Raceway Park and Fremont Speedway in Northwest Ohio. Robbie Price is another notable to be on the lookout for. The Cobble Hill, British Columbia native, racing for Rob and Lee Leighton, has had some great runs at Skagit in 2024 and is second in the 410 points. He captured his first ever NARC-sanctioned feature at Willamette Speedway on Saturday. Tanner Holmes will be among the young drivers to watch for the weekend. Making the journey from Jacksonville, Oregon, Holmes was the runner-up in the Friday prelim and never finished outside of the top five finishes all three nights. Colby Thornhill is a name on the rise regarding 410 racing in the Pacific Northwest. The Enumclaw, Washington teenager scored an incredible win at Skagit this season and is third in the 410 points table. Other California NARC regulars expected to be on hand are Campbell's Bud Kaeding, Fremont driver Shane Golobic, Justyn Cox from Roseville, Lincoln's Tanner Carrick, Chase Johnson of Penngrove, Billy Aton representing Benicia, Oakley Teenager Dylan Bloomfield, and Tucson, Arizona transplant Nick Parker. A collection of NARC rookie drivers are also in the mix including Fresno's Caeden Steele, Lemoore's Gauge Garcia, and Dominic Gorden from Clovis. Other Pacific Northwest drivers to be on the lookout for will be Mill Creek's Cam Smith, Burlington natives Justin Youngquist and Greg Hamilton, Jesse Schlotfeldt of Arlington, and Whannock, British Columbia's Luke Didiuk. Harrisburg's Tyler Thompson and Kinzer Cox of Creswell will also represent Oregon. Australia will be represented in the field with Jessie Attard of Penrith, New South Wales.

- SCELZI CLOSES OUT FFDM WITH ELMA NARC VICTORY; MACEDO WINS FIVE-DAY TITLE
(6/16/24 - Ben Deatherage) Elma, WA ... Dominic Scelzi put together a perfect 30-laps of racing at Grays Harbor Raceway to pocket a $5,000-to-win Timber Cup check with the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series. It was his first NARC win of the season for the driver of the Scelzi Enterprises Whipple Superchargers #41 Maxim. He became the fifth different winner of the Fastest Five Days in Motorsports. Scelzi had a flawless start at the drop of the green which rocketed him to a ten-car length advantage over the rest of the field. It only took him seven laps to reach traffic, allowing Justin Sanders to close the distance in a highspeed game of cat and mouse. Sanders, aboard the Farmer's Brewing Company #2X KPC passed the leader on the back straightaway on lap twelve, only to have Scelzi elbow up on the inside of turn four and reclaim the top spot. The only caution of the race appeared with only two-laps remaining, setting the stage for a green-white-checkered shoot out. However, Scelzi took no prisoners on the restart and went on to claim his 23rd series victory. "It feels like it's been a long time, but we were really good tonight," said Scelzi after scoring a super special win and donating his Timber Cup to Angelique Bell, "I saw (Justin) Sanders on the outside, and Justin and I have raced for a long time, and I knew when he was up there he was good there, I was thankful to get back by him, and I'm glad he didn't get back underneath me." Sanders held off a hard-charging Trey Starks on the last lap to finish in the runner-up spot. Starks completed the podium in third in his T&C Concepts #55 J&J. Tanner Holmes made some late race moves and finished fourth in his Builders Outlet Super Store #18T. Cole Macedo would end up fifth and claim the Fastest Five Days in Motorsport title for the his Motorsports team. "It's always fun to come out here to Oregon and Washington and see all these great fans," said Macedo, "Drew Warner (crew chief) and the boys did a really good job, and it takes a team effort to put together a week like this and win a championship. If we keep putting up top fives and running up front, wins will always come." Justyn Cox, ARP Quick Qualifier Robbie Price, Caeden Steele, Chase Johnson, and Dominic Gorden were the balance of the Top 10 finishers. Heat winners earlier in the night were Cox, Scelzi, and Sanders. Bud Kaeding was the Williams Roofing Hardcharger.

British Columbia's Robbie Price dominated the 30-lap NARC 410 Sprint Car feature at Willamette Speedway to score the $5,000 payday and etch his name in tour history as the newest winner on the all-time win list. He is the fourth different winner in as many nights with the ultra-competitive Fastest Five Days in Motorsports. "Man, I wanted to win so bad!" an overjoyed Price said in victory lane. "It's been a tough week, but I just got a great group of guys, and I tortured that thing on the last lap." Price shot out to the lead once the race on the initial green and rapidly negotiated the one-third-mile clay oval. Driving the Rob and Lee Leighton-fielded Saratoga Motorsports Park #21P Maxim, the leader had to deal with traffic in only six laps. Each time the frontrunners entered traffic; Price made the right moves. He also nailed a pair of restarts around the midway point of the headliner. Justin Sanders shadowed the leader and attempted several charges to try and find a way around Price, but to no avail. Price secured the win by a 0.479 second margin. "I knew (Sanders) was going to be there, I could see his guy signaling him, and I tried not to overthink it and just ran my race. It got tight in lapped traffic, but I was going to do my thing and hope for the best, and if I saw him, I was going to search around a little bit. Thankfully, I didn't see him," continued Price. The Mittry Motorsports-owned Farmers Brewing Company #2X KPC piloted by Sanders was second. Australian Jessie Attard successfully and methodically picked off cars in his Supreme Poultry #53 XXX to record his first career NARC podium. He started tenth, which earned him the Williams Roofing Hardcharger award. NARC point leader Cole Macedo posted a fourth-place result for Tarlton Motorsports in the Tarlton & Son #21 Maxim. Tyler Thompson earned his second career NARC Top 5 finish by hitting the line fifth in the J&K Auto Repair #7 X-1. Justyn Cox, rookie Dominic Gorden, Chase Johnson, Bud Kaeding, and Dominic Scelzi rounded out the top ten. Dylan Bloomfield set fast time in ARP Qualifying but had his night end when he flipped on the first lap of the feature. He walked away under his own power. The Heat winners were Sanders, Thompson, and Price. John Clark, Kinzer Cox, were all involved in red-flag incidents but were unharmed.

- COX MAKES INCREDIBLE LATE RACE MOVE TO WIN NARC FEATURE AT COTTAGE GROVE
(6/14/24 - Ben Deatherage) Cottage Grove, OR ... Justyn Cox scored an incredible $5,000 to win feature with the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series with a late race maneuver past Cole Macedo in heavy lapped traffic at Cottage Grove Speedway. It was the Bates-Hamilton Racing driver's second career NARC win, in a thrilling 30-lap Fastest Five Days in Motorsports show that had the crowd on the edge of their seats. "Cottage Grove is my favorite track in the country, and I've said that for years, and I feel like I have the most laps here out of the whole field," said the completely ecstatic main event winner. "(Cole Macedo) kind of got out of line to try and do what he needed to do as the leader, and I had one shot, so I got a couple of extra miles an hour faster than him and threw a dive bomb." The main event began with the Beacon Wealth Strategies dash winner Cole Macedo jetting out in front in his Tarlton Motorsports mount. The lone race stoppage was for a red flag incident with three laps complete that saw Billy Aton and Gauge Garcia collide. Neither was injured. When green flag action resumed, the Tarlton & Son #21 Maxim of Macedo set a wicked pace and developed a substantial 10-car length advantage. Things got interesting when lapped traffic came into the mix on the ninth trip past the flag stand. With the race going caution free, traffic got heavier and heavier. Macedo had to make some critical decisions to get around the slower cars. Cox shadowed his every move and began to reel him in aboard his Diamond Plastics #42X Maxim. Cox carried a lot of speed entering the bottom of turn three to power his way past Macedo to capture the lead with four laps remaining. The new pacesetter was not entirely out of the woods yet, as he had to deal with lapped traffic and a motivated Macedo. Despite Macedo's best efforts, Cox kept his car out in front and scored the exciting victory. Macedo would have his hands full in the waning circuits with the Whipple Supercharges #41 Maxim of Dominic Scelzi but managed to beat him to the checkered for second. Scelzi notched his first podium of the week with his third-place result. Chase Johnson tied his best performance of 2024 with a fourth-place finish in the Toyota of Marin, Walnut Creek, and Sunnyvale #24 Maxim. Tanner Holmes mustered a late race charge to score fifth-place. Holmes is the only driver during the FFDM to score all top five finishes aboard his Builders Outlet Super Store #18T XXX. His charge from 10th earned him the Williams Roofing Hardcharger award. Tyler Thompson, Justin Sanders, Dustin Bloomfield, ARP Fast Qualifier Tanner Carrick and Bud Kaeding rounded out the top ten. Carrick set fast time in ARP Qualifying. Heat winners were Aton, Cox, and Macedo.

- MACEDO OUTGUNS NARC FIELD AT DOUGLAS COUNTY DIRTRACK FOR FFDM VICTORY
(6/13/24 - Ben Deatherage) Roseburg, Oregon ... Cole Macedo scored a hard-fought victory in the second round of the Fastest Five Days In Motorsports when the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series invaded the Douglas County Dirt Track. He took the lead on lap three of the 30-lapper aboard the Tarlton Motorsports Maxim and fought off the multi-challenges of Justin Sanders to score his third win of season. When the initial green flag waved, Sanders set the standard for the 23-car field, piloting the Farmers Brewing Company #2X KPC. Macedo wasn't about to let him run away and pestered the leader until he won a drag race down the backchute for the race lead. "When (Justin Sanders) and I race together, being the top two in points, it is going to be a pretty good race," stated an ecstatic Macedo in victory lane. "There were key points to that race that made it all happen, I knew the bottom wasn't going to be there for too long so I told my crew chief Drew Warner that I was going to the top and luckily I got there first and my car was absolutely phenomenal." Lapped traffic made things interesting and put much pressure on the frontrunners to make the appropriate decisions to get past slower cars. Sanders mounted a late race charge on Macedo and got within three-car lengths before getting hung up behind two back markers which effective slowed his charge. Macedo held on to score his fourth career NARC victory and his first at the Roseburg 3/10-mile clay oval. He earned a $5000 payday. Sanders was credited with second place and Tanner Holmes rallied late to finish third after starting his Shane DeWald Trucking #18T XXX after starting 12th. Dylan Bloomfield was consistently throughout the contest aboard Vertullo Racing Starr Property Management #83V Maxim and scored fourth. Chase Johnson had an impressive 13th to fifth outing to round out the top five finishers in his Toyota of Marin, Walnut Creek, and Sunnyvale #24 Maxim. Justyn Cox started 10th and finished sixth. NARC rookie driver Gauge Garcia earned the Keller Motorsports team the Williams Roofing Hardcharger honors with a 22nd to seventh place performance. He pocketed an additional $500 from Topp-It Express. 2017 NARC champion Bud Kaeding was eighth, followed by Caeden Steele and Bailey Hibbard. Tanner Carrick was the ARP Quick Qualifier and earned an additional $500 money from Shane DeWald Trucking. Heat winners were Dominic Scelzi, Macedo, and Carrick. Scelzi, Robbie Price, Dominic Gorden, John Clark, and Brian Boswell were all involved in red-flag incidents, but all walked away unhurt.

- TANNER HOLMES WINS ACCIDENT-SHORTENED NARC FFDM FEATURE AT SOUTHERN OREGON
(6/10/24) White City, Oregon ... Local star Tanner Holmes was declared the winner of an accident-shortened 13-lap NARC 410 Sprint Car feature at Southern Oregon Speedway on Wednesday night. Holmes had led the entire distance up to that point of the Fastest Five Days in Motorsports feature before a red flag appeared for a very scary and fiery accident involving Angelique Bell. She was transported to a Rogue Valley Hospital with a variety of burns and breathing difficulties. It was an anti-climatic win for Holmes first-ever NARC win, but it was worth a $5,000 payday in front of a standing-room-only crowd just a few miles from his house. The race was called complete when it was determined that safety crews had exhausted most of their fire-fighting supplies battling the stubborn blaze. A trackside meeting was held with all competitors, track management, and NARC officials, and it was determined continuing the show was a safety risk. The Hoosier Racing Tire main event began with Holmes, in his The Boss #18T XXX, rocketing around the outside of fellow front-row starter Justyn Cox. It would take only four laps before the front runners entered some thick lapped traffic, and the Diamond Plastics #42X Maxim, piloted by Bates-Hamilton Racing driver Cox, tried to get underneath Holmes on the inside out of turn four, but Holmes kept him in check. Holmes made crucial passes to build up a big lead and put several lapped cars between himself and second place. During the long green flag run, Cox felt considerable pressure from Justin Sanders who searched high and low and tried to use a pick from lapped traffic. Cox scored second at the checkered with the Farmer's Brewing Company #2X KPC Mittry Motorsports-fielded entry being credited with third. Oregon race track debutants Tanner Carrick, in the California Waterfowl #83T Maxim, was fourth in his first ever race in Oregon followed by the Cen-Cal Demolition Services #121 Maxim, driven by teenager Caeden Steele, who was the highest finishing rookie. Dominic Scelzi would beat out Ashton Torgerson for sixth. Chase Johnson earned Williams Roofing Hardcharger honors with his eighth-place effort. Canadian traveler Robbie Price ended the race ninth over series point leader Cole Macedo, who was tenth. Cox was the fastest qualifier in the ARP Time Trials and set a new track record of 11.108 seconds. Heat winners earlier in the night were Torgerson, Sanders, and Carrick.

- FASTEST FIVE DAYS IN MOTORSPORTS AWAITS NARC 410 SPRINT CARS IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST
(6/6/24 - Ben Deatherage) ... The wait is almost over as the 900+ horsepower open wheel racing machines of the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series journey north for the Fastest Five Days in Motorsports! During a quick 120-hour span, the series will feature five races at five different racetracks across Oregon and Washington in five nights. For many of the tracks, it is their only 410 cubic inch sprint car race of the year. The racing extravaganza will kick off on Wednesday, June 12th, at Southern Oregon Speedway before moving northward to the Douglas County Dirt Track in Roseburg on Thursday, the 13th. Friday, the 14th will see the newly added Cottage Grove Speedway as a part of the mix and will be the first 410 race at the historic ¼-mile clay oval since 2014. Willamette Speedway is back with their Saturday date on the 15th. All roads will come to a head at Elma, Washington's Grays Harbor Raceway, on Sunday, the 16th, for a Father's Day fireworks-spectacular special, the Timber Cup. "I think that the Oregon/Washington Speedweek is an awesome trip!" said current NARC standings leader Cole Macedo from Lemoore. "I know I had a lot of fun last year, and I'm super excited to run those tracks because they can get super slick and have some character." With six races down in the 65th anniversary season, there have been super exciting events coming down to the last few laps, and there's no doubt that this trend will continue. The Fastest Five Days in Motorsports started in 2019 as the Fastest Four Days in Motorsports in California. However, that all changed in 2022 when it was redirected to the Pacific Northwest. The 2023 edition was an uninterrupted string of events that led up to the Jim Raper Memorial Super Dirt Cup at Skagit Speedway. Support classes for the first four nights will be the Northwest Focus Midget Series. Saturday night, the Iron Head Sprint Series will join the card. Sunday's bout will feature IMCA Modifieds and PHRA Dwarf Cars. Each night will pay a stout $5000 to win and $600 to start the A-main. Another perk up for grabs is a $5000 point fund for the top eight teams in the Fastest Five Days in Motorsports points, courtesy of Roth Motorsports and Winters Performance. The overall champion will also receive a commemorative collectable trophy at the year-end championship awards banquet. Some extra money will be on the line Thursday night at the Douglas County Dirtrack. Shane DeWald Trucking is offering a $500 bonus for the fast timer, and Topp It Express will kick in another $500 in cash for the evening's hard charger. Championship Chase With five straight nights of action on tap, the King of the West championship title could very well be determined during the Fastest Five Days in Motorsports. Last year, eventual NARC champion Corey Day created a massive buffer over the rest of the competition that helped him lock up the title. Lemoore's Cole Macedo has stayed up in the first position in the championship standings for the entire 2024 campaign. Still, the Tarlton Motorsports #21 car enters the week with a slim two-point advantage. Even though last year was Macedo's first foray into several Pacific Northwest tracks, he managed to win the Willamette leg of the journey. He broke up Day's ability to sweep all four nights. So far, this team has had two NARC wins this season. "With the amount of racing that I've been running this year and seeing all these different tracks, I think I'll be in good shape," Macedo continued. "Drew Warner (crew chief) and the boys have been working hard, and I'm almost fully recovered from my rib injury early in the season, so our team is ready." As the 2024 season continues, Justin Sanders keeps getting faster and faster. The Mittry Motorsports #2X team has been excellent this year. They were outside the top five in points a few weeks ago. Now, they sit a close second after scoring a season-leading three victories. The Aromas pilot accomplished those three wins in the last four rounds, including the most recent event at Placerville. 2017 NARC champion Bud Kaeding goes into the FFDM with some of the most experience at many of the tracks including Southern Oregon, Cottage Grove, and Willamette Speedways. 2024 has treated the Campbell veteran well. The team has had a lot of consistent speed. They are fourth in the title fight and trail Macedo by thirty-one points. They managed to post a pair of top five runs, including a fourth at Antioch in May. Fifth in series points, Dylan Bloomfield, had an impressive run last year in his Northwest debut. The Oakley teenager, racing for the Vertullo Racing #83V, had some solid runs, including a fourth-place finish at Southern Oregon after setting a quick time. His best NARC run of the current season was a third at Antioch. Who To Watch In 2022, Dominic Scelzi emerged as the champion of what was then called the Faster Four Days in Motorsports. Coming off a third-place result at the Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial, the Fresno driver has only one NARC triumph at the five tracks on the five-night swing. That came at Southern Oregon Speedway two years ago. In 2021 and 2022, he won the FFDM and NARC series championships. Justyn Cox will be among the plethora of drivers to watch when he and the Bates-Hamilton Racing #42X entry migrate north. The Roseville racer has spent much of his career racing and winning in the Pacific Northwest. He will be looking to score his second career NARC win during this string of events. Chase Johnson competed in Oregon and Washington last year for Josh Ford Motorsports, but this year, he will be using his own equipment. Not long after the 2023 Northwest swing, the Penngrove pilot returned to his winning ways after an incredibly emotional victory at his home track Petaluma Speedway. He's already notched a pair of Top 5s in 2024 with NARC, including a runner-up result at Chico's Mini Gold Cup. Reigning NARC rookie Nick Parker is ready for another run in the Pacific Northwest. The Vail, Arizona native, now residing in Chico, spent a lot of time adapting to many new facilities. Still, Parker is a quick learner, and once he's run somewhere, it takes little time for him to be really fast there. Billy Aton is no stranger to Oregon and Washington over the years. Making the haul from Benecia, Aton has shown promise in the current campaign and was a few laps away from winning the Salute to LeRoy Van Conett last month in Stockton. In 2023, Jarrett Soares went to Oregon for the first time to run some local winged and non-winged shows. The Gilroy gasser will be looking to capitalize on that knowledge. Tanner Carrick has been a phenomenal addition to the NARC 410 Sprint Series, putting up several top five finishes. This swing will be an extensive learning experience as the venues will be places the Lincoln native has had little to no exposure. Jessie Attard is excited to be back stateside to take on the best drivers on the west coast. The Landilo, New South Welshman, will represent his home nation of Australia. Last year, he had an impressive tenth-place result at Southern Oregon. Other drivers scheduled to make the trip are Ashton Torgerson from Glendale, Arizona, Sacramento's Angelique Bell, and more! Rookie Race The NARC Rookie of the Year race is also a tight-knit battle between some promising young stars. Caeden Steele has been impressive during the current NARC campaign, posting a pair of podium finishes. The only track of the five which he has seen live is Grays Harbor Raceway, where he made one start last July. The Easton teenager enters the FFDM with a four-marker advantage over the current runner-up. From Lemoore, Gauge Garcia has gotten into a good groove in the last few events with the NARC 410 Sprint Series. Bouncing back from a hard crash at Antioch in May, the Keller Motorsport team had a phenomenal run at the Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial on June 1st, leading many laps and posting a second-place finish. Not to be forgotten is Dominic Gorden of Clovis. What's unique about this young man is that even though he's never raced at 410 at any of the upcoming tracks, he did a lot of racing at Elma, Cottage Grove, Roseburg, and Southern Oregon last July and August. There's no doubt some of the successes that he's had at those venues will translate over to the 410 as he enters the week third in the rookie race. Northwest Home Stand Jacksonville, Oregon's Tanner Holmes is excited to defend his home turf. After spending the late winter and early spring chasing the High Limit and World of Outlaws groups, the YouTube sensation returned west to compete with NARC during the last few weeks. Finishing second at Skagit Speedway on June 1st, Holmes managed to win at four tracks on the FFDM schedule in local competition and was third at last year's Timber Cup. Many regard Puyallup, Washington's Trey Starks as the Pacific Northwest man to beat. Second at last year's Timber Cup and the winner of the 2022 edition, Starks is phenomenal in the Northwest and is the two-time defending champion Skagit Speedway 410 champion.

- SANDERS POCKETS BIG DAVE BRADWAY JR. MEMORIAL PAYDAY IN NARC SPRINT CAR THRILLER!
(6/1/24 - Ben Deatherage) Placerville, California ... Justin Sanders won a NARC sprint car thriller and a $5,500 payday with an exciting performance in the 40-lap Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial at Placerville Speedway. He made a late move to get past race leader Shane Golobic to secure the impressive victory aboard the Mittry Motorsports-fielded Farmer's Brewing Company #2X KPC. Beacon Wealth Strategies Trophy Dash winner D.J. Netto set the standard once the initial green flag but had to deal with several restarts due to several stoppages in the early laps. NARC rookie driver Gauge Garcia drove like a seasoned veteran and began to pressure Netto for the point and passed the leader on the eighth trip past the flag stand. Garcia, piloting the Keller Motorsports Monarch Ford XXX sprinter, established a commanding lead over the rest of the competition as Netto had his hands full with ARP Fast Timer Andy Forsberg in his Pacific Highway Rentals #92 Maxim. After a caution on the 22nd circuit, Golobic, driving the NOS Energy Drink #17W, played cat and mouse with the leader, eventually riding the cushion past the low-groove riding Garcia to take the point on lap 26. Garcia did not go away quietly and kept Golobic honest. The script was flipped in the final 10-laps when the fifth-starting Sanders emerged as a late race contender. A lap 34 restart witnessed Sanders propel his car into the runner-up spot and get around Garcia, before performing a banzai move in the final set of turns to procure the lead at the wire on the 35th trip around the quarter-mile clay oval. Golobic returned the favor a lap later to retake the lead. A red flag incident with only two-laps remaining set the stage for a green-white-checkered showdown. On the restart, Sanders would again throw caution to the wind and got around Golobic with a daring maneuver out of turn four as they raced toward the white flag. It proved to be the winning move as Sanders collected his third career Placerville NARC win and his 17th series victory. "That was some hard racing," stated an elated Sanders in victory lane. "I thought when I passed (Shane) and then ran the top and got over the curb that it was over. When I saw him go to the top of three and four, that really surprised me, and I figured he would throw a blocking line on me, and that would have won him the race. Me and Shane have raced really hard for fifteen years now and he's the guy I always look for on the scoreboard." Unfortunately, Golobic would jump the cushion on the final lap which allowed for a shake-up in the top five finishing order, with Garcia grabbing second. "One thing about these guys like Justin and Shane is they have this place down," commented an incredibly happy runner-up Garcia after his NARC career best finish. "I can't thank this team enough, and it's super great to see all this stuff paying off, and we're starting to put results together." Two-time NARC champion Dominic Scelzi had an incredible run in the Whipple Superchargers #41 Maxim, earning Williams Roofing Hardcharger honors with a methodical 17th-to-third run. Colby Copeland made a cameo appearance in the Clark Family entry and finished fourth in the CCI Electrical #12T Helix. Netto wrapped up the top five finishers. Golobic would end up sixth, while Michael Faccinto passed 14 cars to finish seventh for the Friends & Family Racing team. Dylan Bloomfield, Kaleb Montgomery, and Justyn Cox rounded out the top ten. Garcia, Golobic, Sanders, and rookie Dominic Gorden were victorious in the program's four heat races. Michael Faccinto scored the triumph in the Starr Property Management B-Feature. Gorden and Bud Kaeding got upside down in the main event but were uninjured.

- NARC 410 Sprint Cars charge into Placerville for only visit of year
Placerville, CA...The thunderous roar of the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series will once again fill the air at Placerville Speedway on Saturday, June 1st for the 33rd Annual Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial race. This marks the only appearance of the season of the NARC sprint cars at the high-banked quarter-mile oval as they battle it out for the $5,500 to win prize. With five races in the books already for the series' 65th anniversary season, there has been some incredible action, a tight points race, and an incredibly tough contingent of drivers populating the pit area. The Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial not only features a lucrative payday but also pays tribute to an incredible driver, Dave Bradway Jr. who tragically passed away in a racing accident in June of 1987 at Skagit Speedway. The event, initially held at Silver Dollar Speedway from its inception in 1991 until it was relocated to Placerville in 2021. Among the "locals" who experienced a great finish in the 2023 Bradway race was Hanford driver Michael Faccinto, who drives the Friends and Family #X1 sprint car. "Last year was their second 410 race ever, and to be able to put a good night together with NARC that night was pretty special," explained Faccinto, referring to his second-place finish with car owners Alan Bradway and Steve "Tooch" Tuccelli. "Tooch and Alan put a lot into the race and it's very important to them. Hopefully we can be one spot better this year." Several additional prizes are up for grabs, including $5,200 in additional lap money, and a $5500 payday to the winner of the 40-lap main event. Other awards include $1,000 to the leader of lap three of the main event, $1000 to the driver that pulls the number 3 pill during the dash redraw, $700 for the Carwash Mike Avila Quick Time, $550 for the Hardcharger award, $300 to win each heat race, $300 for the third quickest qualifier, and many more. The Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial weekend starts with the Sprint Car Challenge Tour 360 sprint cars on Friday night. The NorCal Dwarf Cars will be the companion division on both nights. Championship Chase Cole Macedo continues to reign atop the current NARC 410 Sprint Car Series point battle. He will enter the Bradway with a 14-point advantage. The Lemoore chauffeur won the season's first two rounds and has yet to have the Tarlton Motorsports #21 finish outside the top five in main event action. Macedo has one career NARC start at Placerville. Currently second in points, Justin Sanders of Aromas has Macedo in his sight. He will try to further slim down the points difference as the Mittry Motorsports #2X team has been in top form recently, including winning two of the last three features. In seven NARC starts at Placerville, Sanders managed to win twice, in 2018 and 2019. Also, in 2019, he was the victor of the Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial. Shane Golobic enters the weekend third in the standings and is the only driver with a single win with NARC in 2024 to his credit. The Fremont pilot is no stranger to success at Placerville as he has an incredible track record with NARC, including a victory in 2016 and 17 top tens in 18 starts at the track. The Matt Wood Racing #17W entry was third in last year's race. Roseville's Sean Becker is coming off a sensational runner-up result in the most recent NARC race and is currently fourth in the table of the championship standings. The 2005 NARC champion won the Bradway in 2006 and is seeking his first series win since 2021. Twice a winner when the tour came to town, achieved in 2004 and 2014, he also posted 15 top ten finishes in nineteen starts. 2017 NARC champion Bud Kaeding completes the top five in points, in fifth. The Campbell chauffeur has collected three finishes in the top five in the first five starts of the 2024 season. Winning twice in NARC competition in 2016 at Placerville, Kaeding has accrued 20 top ten finishes in 22 starts since. He was fifth at last year's Bradway Memorial. Who to Watch Colby Copeland enters the Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial as the defending winner. The Roseville racer captured an emotional victory for car owners Jim and Annette Van Lare after Jim's father had recently passed away. Copeland may not race a full schedule, but he is always a threat to win whenever he's in the starting lineup. Tanner Carrick had some impressive results at Placerville when NARC visited. Finishing fourth last year and the runner-up in 2022, the Lincoln driver has been so close to breaking through for his first career NARC win. Could this year be the year he finally wins at the Bradway? Andy Forsberg is one of the drivers with the most laps at the El Dorado County Fairgrounds facility, and he has nine track titles to his credit. Hailing from Auburn, Forsberg is coming off a solid fifth place running at Stockton and is looking for his first career Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial victory. Roseville's Justyn Cox will search for the big check on Saturday night. He's qualified for five career NARC features at Placerville, with a fourth-place result in 2016. Last year, the Bates-Hamilton Racing #42X entry, driven by Cox, was eighth at the Bradway Memorial. Other regulars of the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series that will be in action include Chase Johnson of Penngrove, Benicia's Billy Aton, Dylan Bloomfield from Oakley, Gilroy gasser Jarrett Soares, current rookie of the year point leader Caeden Steele of Easton, Clovis' Dominic Gorden, Gauge Garcia from Lemoore, Wilton's Ashlyn Rodriguez, and Chico drivers Nick Parker and Michael Ing.

Shane Golobic enters the weekend third in the standings and is the only driver with a single win with NARC in 2024 to his credit. The Fremont pilot is no stranger to success at Placerville as he has an incredible track record with NARC, including a victory in 2016 and 17 top tens in 18 starts at the track. The Matt Wood Racing #17W entry was third in last year's race. Roseville's Sean Becker is coming off a sensational runner-up result in the most recent NARC race and is currently fourth in the table of the championship standings. The 2005 NARC champion won the Bradway in 2006 and is seeking his first series win since 2021. Twice a winner when the tour came to town, achieved in 2004 and 2014, he also posted 15 top ten finishes in nineteen starts. 2017 NARC champion Bud Kaeding completes the top five in points, in fifth. The Campbell chauffeur has collected three finishes in the top five in the first five starts of the 2024 season. Winning twice in NARC competition in 2016 at Placerville, Kaeding has accrued 20 top ten finishes in 22 starts since. He was fifth at last year's Bradway Memorial. Who to Watch Colby Copeland enters the Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial as the defending winner. The Roseville racer captured an emotional victory for car owners Jim and Annette Van Lare after Jim's father had recently passed away. Copeland may not race a full schedule, but he is always a threat to win whenever he's in the starting lineup. Tanner Carrick had some impressive results at Placerville when NARC visited. Finishing fourth last year and the runner-up in 2022, the Lincoln driver has been so close to breaking through for his first career NARC win. Could this year be the year he finally wins at the Bradway? Andy Forsberg is one of the drivers with the most laps at the El Dorado County Fairgrounds facility, and he has nine track titles to his credit. Hailing from Auburn, Forsberg is coming off a solid fifth place running at Stockton and is looking for his first career Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial victory. Roseville's Justyn Cox will search for the big check on Saturday night. He's qualified for five career NARC features at Placerville, with a fourth-place result in 2016. Last year, the Bates-Hamilton Racing #42X entry, driven by Cox, was eighth at the Bradway Memorial. Other regulars of the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series that will be in action include Chase Johnson of Penngrove, Benicia's Billy Aton, Dylan Bloomfield from Oakley, Gilroy gasser Jarrett Soares, current rookie of the year point leader Caeden Steele of Easton, Clovis' Dominic Gorden, Gauge Garcia from Lemoore, Wilton's Ashlyn Rodriguez, and Chico drivers Nick Parker and Michael Ing. Other notable drivers to make the trip are 2021 and 2022 NARC champion Dominic Scelzi of Fresno, 2019 NARC crown winner D.J.

- SANDERS BATTLES FOR SALUTE TO LEROY VAN CONETT NARC VICTORY AT STOCKTON
(5/19/24 - Ben Deatherage) Stockton, California ... Justin Sanders scored a hard fought victory on a rough track to claim Sunday's Salute to Leroy Van Conett NARC 410 Sprint Car Series event at the Stockton Dirt Track. Sanders, who started fifth in the 20-car grid, stole the lead from race leader Sean Becker with a brilliant lap 15 restart and battled challenging track conditions and slower traffic the rest of the way to score his second NARC victory of the season aboard Demo Mittry's Farmers Brewing KPC sprint car. The 30-lap contest began with Billy Aton's Plant Reclamation #26 XXX grabbing the point and setting the standard for the first 14-laps. Aton would put on quite a show, including several wheel stands on the front straightaway, as he pulled away from all challengers. Things tightened up as the leaders got into lapped traffic on the narrow racing surface on lap eight, and even thicker congestion formed ahead of them on the 13th circuit. Tragedy would strike on the 14th circuit when Aton lost power in the first set of corners and collected second-place runner Tanner Carrick to bring out the caution. Beacon Wealth Strategies dash winner Sean Becker inherited the lead in the Don Bjork-owned Bjork Construction #7B Maxim. However, on the ensuing restart, Sanders performed the overtake for the top spot. The event went stoppage-free after the restart allowing Sanders to get in a good rhythm, as he methodically worked his way through slower cars on the way to the checkered. It was his third career NARC win at Stockton. "I think Becker went in too hard, hit the hole, and pushed up," explained Sanders about his move to get around Becker on the restart. "I tried to get my car as far down as I could and get off the bottom of two really good, and it was just enough to get by him. I'm glad to get another NARC win and I got to thank Demo Mittry and all the sponsors and our supporters." Becker finished a very respectable second place for his first podium in the current campaign. "The crew's been through the wringer the last few days and fought through it," said Becker, the 2005 series champion, "and I'm so proud of them. I wish I could have given it (a victory) to them, but to get a podium with this stout field is pretty good." The Matt Wood Racing entry driver by Shane Golobic, in the NOS Energy Drink #17W KPC, kept up his consistent form with a third place podium finish. NARC point leader Cole Macedo's continued to grind with another top five finish in the Tarlton Motorsports team finishing fourth. Andy Forsberg rounded out the top five aboard the Pacific Highway Rentals #92 Maxim. He started tenth. 2017 NARC champion Bud Kaeding was sixth, chased by Justyn Cox. Rookie driver Dominic Gorden was the Williams Roofing Hardcharger by finish eighth after starting 16th. Dylan Bloomfield edged out Nick Parker to wrap up the second five at the checkered. Cole Macedo was the fastest qualifier in the ARP Time Trials. Caeden Steele, Becker, and Aton were victorious in the program's three heat races.

- SHANE GOLOBIC MASTERS NARC SPRINT CARS AT TULARE
(5/18/24 - Ben Deatherage) Tulare, California ... Shane Golobic outran rookie driver Caeden Steele and two-time series champion Dominic Scelzi to emerge victorious in the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series show at Thunderbowl Raceway. Golobic lead a majority of the 30-lap headliner, piloting the Matt Wood Racing-fielded NOS Energy Drink #17W KPC, and secured his 16th triumph in NARC competition. Despite a pair of race stoppages that delayed the completion of the first circuit, the race went non-stop the remaining distance around the 1/3-mile clay oval. Golobic, who started on the pole by way of his Beacon Wealth Strategies dash win, seized the opportunity on the initial green flag chased by fellow front row starter Steele and the rest of the 23-car field. The race was a thrilling nail-biter, with lapped traffic adding to the drama and keeping the contest close. Steele successfully overtook Golobic on the fifth trip past the flag stand, but Golobic quickly recovered and returned the favor on the following circuit.. This cat-and-mouse open wheel battle continued lap after lap. Golobic kept the young pilot of the Cencal Demolition Services #121 Maxim in check, and began developing a rhythm of diamonding off the second turn, and generated a 10-car length advantage over the runner-up. Steele methodically worked his way back up to Golobic's rear nerf bar at the halfway point, but was unable to get around the leader. In the last eight trips around the track, Golobic kept riding the cushion, inches from the wall, and went on to score his second career Thunderbowl NARC win, the first time since 2018. Reflecting on his victory, Golobic shared, "I was trying to get up to the top, but I was out front running the bottom and felt like I could exit really good but the #121 blew my doors off, and luckily he made a mistake, and I got back around him." Golobic continued, "There's always an option here to do a big diamond move down across the racetrack off of (turn) two and catch the moisture. There was a ton of moisture down there, and I didn't feel like I was getting squared up off the corner on the exits so I started diamonding off across and carrying good speed, but once I got to lapped traffic they were running down there so I had to change it up a little bit and luckily we were able to get it done." A thrilling battle for the runner-up spot unfolded late in the race between Steele and Dominic Scelzi, with Scelzi's Whipple Superchargers #41 Maxim finishing second on a last-lap pass. Steele, a rising star, was a noble third. The rookie runner notched his second third-place finish of this years campaign, equaling his best career NARC finish. NARC championship point leader Cole Macedo brought the Tarlton Motorsports entry home in fourth, his fifth top five finish in five events. Justyn Cox scored fifth in the Bates-Hamilton Racing machine as the Lippert Construction #42X Maxim. Ryan Bernal made impressive progress to the front to finish sixth for the Josh Ford Motorsports team. 2005 NARC champion Sean Becker managed a seventh-place effort in the Don Bjork-owned car. Gauge Garcia finished eighth after starting the Keller Motorsports car in the 19th spot, earning him Williams Roofing Hardcharger honors. Michael Faccinto and 2019 NARC champ D.J. Netto rounded out the top ten. Piloting the famed Williams Motorsports entry, Tim Kaeding got upside down in the main event but walked away unharmed. Cox managed to be fastest in ARP Qualifying earlier in the program. Macedo, Golobic, and Oregon traveler Tanner Holmes won the three heat races.

- TULARE & STOCKTON DOUBLEHEADER WEEKEND ON TAP FOR NARC SPRINT CARS
(5/13/24 - Ben Deatherage) Sacramento, CA ... The wait for an entire weekend of NARC 410 Sprint Car Series racing is almost over, as the 900+ horsepower behemoths of the tour are in action not once but twice, this Saturday and Sunday! First, Thunderbowl Raceway will be the first stop on Saturday, May 18th, for KRC Safety Night. But wait, there is more! The Stockton Dirt Track will visit the reconfigured ¼-mile track for a Sunday Twilight Show spectacular for the rescheduled Salute to LeRoy Van Conett. Among them will be Easton, CA driver Caeden Steele, the current leader in the race for the NARC Rookie of the Year award. He sits ninth in the standings. "I'm excited to get back to 410 racing, especially Tulare," said Steele. "I have a lot of laps there, and that's one of my favorite tracks because it really fits my driving style. The season has been pretty great so far. We've been lucky enough to avoid some of the wrecks, so we'll see if we can continue that." The journey to the famed 1/3-mile clay oval in Tulare marks the fourth event of the 65th Anniversary season for the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series, followed by the Stockton Dirt Track show. The companion divisions for the Tulare are the Kings of Thunder 360 Sprints and West Coast Sport Compacts, while the Bay Cities Racing Association Midgets will be on the card on Sunday for Stockton. Sunday's race will honor the living legend LeRoy Van Conett, one of the all-time great drivers to come out of California. The "Dragon from Galt" scored eight NARC titles (1969, 1970, 1975, 1977, 1978, 1980, 1981, and 1984) and won the track title at Calistoga Speedway on seven occasions. He was the 1976 Gold Cup Race of Champions winner at the defunct West Capital Raceway. He was inducted into the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame in 1999. The Van Conett race was established in 2016, and Shane Golobic and D.J. Netto are tied for the most wins at this event, with two apiece. Championship Chase With three completed rounds in the 2024 schedule, the march for the King of the West championship is still in the early stages. Cole Macedo enters the weekend as the series point leader. He is a tough customer to beat on the track and has yet to finish outside the top five this season. The Lemoore racer, piloting the Tarlton Motorsports #21 entry, already has won two of three events in 2024 and is coming off of a fifth-place result at Antioch. Aromas driver Justin Sanders, the winner of last Saturday's show at Antioch, is only 11-points behind Macedo. Who to Watch Many Central Valley-based competitors will attend, several of which are competing for the Rookie Of The Year honors. Steele currently leads the chase as the BCCR Racing #121 entry has been incredible despite a limited number of 410 Sprint Car starts to his name. Gauge Garcia, from Lemoore, is looking to bounce back from a hard flip last weekend. The Keller Motorsports #2K team is also looking to try and build on their tenth-place finish in their most recent Stockton NARC outing. Dominic Gorden is looking to keep early-season gremlins behind him. The Clovis teenager had a season-best result last Saturday with his 12th-place effort. Mariah Ede made her NARC debut last weekend. She is one of the newest members of the massive pool of 410 talent from California and has an extremely bright future. The Fresno racer will be running both tracks for the first time in a 410 between the frame rails. Another local driver also making the journey is the aforementioned Netto, from Hanford, who is always a threat to win against the competition when he rolls into the pit area. The 2019 NARC champion has twice won with the series at Stockton, which happens to be the Van Conett Tribute and grabbed a victory at Tulare in 2015. Justin Sanders got a big win last weekend for the Mittry Motorsports #2X team at the Contra Costa County Clash. The Aromas racer didn't win; he dominated, leading all the laps of the feature, setting a quick time, and winning the dash. He will undoubtedly look to continue that positive momentum. Sanders was third in his last Tulare outing with NARC and has two Stockton wins. The previously referenced Golobic will looking to score his 16th career NARC victory. The Matt Wood Racing #17W entry has finished second in three shows so far. The Fremont racer will look to win his second career Tulare win with the series for the first time since 2018. His only two NARC wins at Stockton were during the Van Conett race. Other NARC 410 Series regulars in action will include 2017 champion Bud Kaeding of Campbell, Justyn Cox from Roseville, Oakley pilot Dylan Bloomfield, Billy Aton from Benicia, Penngrove's Chase Johnson, Chico pilots Nick Parker and Michael Ing, and Jarrett Soares of Gilroy. Other notable names expected will be two-time NARC champ Dominic Scelzi from Fresno, Lincoln's Tanner Carrick, and Ryan Bernal of Roseville.

The 25-lap Thompson's Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Car feature was all about Forsberg, who turned back the clock and rode the cushion to perfection. The Auburn driver dominated things, much like he has over so many years at the El Dorado County Fairgrounds. The action behind him was marvelous however, with several drivers going at it and positions changing lap after lap. Jake Morgan of Fair Oaks looked impressive in the main event and moved into second on lap 11, making the pass of Jodie Robinson, who also looked solid in her Placerville return. As the race wound down 16-year-old Braden Chiaramonte climbed into second, while Placerville's own Shane Hopkins battled his way into third. Forsberg took the checkered flag over Chiaramonte, Hopkins, Morgan and Robinson in the top-five. Chiaramonte capped a strong weekend after finishing on the podium at Chico the previous night. Hopkins should also be commended for an excellent drive in the feature to earn a podium spot. Rounding out the top-10 were Bubba Decaires, Corbin Rueschenberg, Michael Faccinto, DJ Freitas and Tony Gomes. A total of 32 Sprint Cars competed at Mother's Day Madness. Isaiah Vasquez began the evening by earning the ADCO Driveline & Custom Exhaust Fast Time Award with a lap of 10.781. First-time winners are always a fun part of the program and that came to fruition last night, as Yuba City's Rod Oliver accepted his initial Placerville Speedway checkered flag. The long-time Ltd. Late Model driver led all 20-laps, but it didn't come easy as Lincoln's Dan Brown Jr. hounded him every step of the way. Previous event winner Anthony Slaney also made moves running the high-scary side of the bullring to close in on the lead duo. In the end it was a non-stop affair with Oliver claiming victory over Brown, Slaney, Tyler Lightfoot and Jay Norton. The Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks gave the crowd on hand their definite monies worth with an absolute barn burner in the main event. Orangevale's Tommy Sturgeon has been impressive during the early campaign and led laps once again on Saturday. Side by Side racing was prevalent all throughout the field in what was a non-stop 20-lapper. Around the halfway point Tribute to Al Hinds winner Kevin Jinkerson blasted into the lead and held command until Nick Baldwin went upstairs, taking over the top-spot. Exceptionally close competition was seen right down to the wire. The five-time Placerville champ Baldwin brought home the triumph over Jinkerson, a very fast Tyler Lightfoot, Dan Jinkerson and Sturgeon in the top-five. The Mountain Democrat Mini Trucks also provided a wild main event that almost went non-stop as well. Multiple different leaders were seen with Mike Miller, Howard Miller, Austin Struthers and Thomas Jensen all fighting for the top-spot at times. H. Miller found himself out front following the midway point, but an exciting exchange occurred on lap 16 that saw M. Miller come out ahead. Mike Miller grabbed the checkered flag ahead of Howard Miller, Jensen, Luke Costa and Paige Miller. Placerville Speedway will take a couple weeks off before coming back with one of the biggest events all season. The two-night Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial weekend occurs on Friday and Saturday May 31st and June 1st. Opening night is headlined by the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour, while the NARC 410 Sprint Cars invade the track for the only time in 2024 during the finale. Both nights also showcase the Nor-Cal Dwarf Car Association.

- SANDERS SOARS IN DOMINATING NARC CONTRA COSTA COUNTY CLASH WIN
(5/11/24 Ben Deatherage) Antioch, California ... Justin Sanders opened his 2024 NARC 410 Sprint Car Series winning account with an all-around dominating performance at Antioch Speedway during the Contra Costa County Clash. The Demo Mittry-owned, Farmers Brewing Company #2X KPC entry outgunned the field for the entire 30-lap distance in the Hoosier Racing Tire main event. It marked the first time the team and driver scored a tour win at the historic 3/8-mile clay oval. Taking full advantage of his inside front-row starting position, Sanders bolted out to the front on once the green flag fell. He set a rather torrid pace as it took him just five laps to reach the back end of the field. Heavy traffic came into play, but Sanders found a way to zig and zag past slower cars. Three cautions periods took place just before the midway point, tightening the field but allowing Sanders to operate on an open track. The second half of the race would see a slightly different script play out as Matt Wood Racing driver Shane Golobic, chauffeuring the NOS Energy Drink #17W KPC, began to chase the leader down with less than ten to go. As the lap count dwindled, the two waltzed in and out of traffic. With three circuits remaining, the battle was put on pause due to a red flag incident. The final restart witnessed Sanders show his jungle cat quickness in the open and be the first driver to the wire. "We've been trying to build a whole new package with this new chassis the last two months," said a jubilant Mittry Motorsports driver, "I got to thank Demo (Mittry) for allowing me to try all this stuff, I have ideas in my head all the time and things I want to try, and he deserves these wins and I'm glad we're on top tonight and get him this win." It was Sanders 16th career NARC 410 Sprint Car Series victory, putting him ninth all-time. "I know when Shane's in second, he will be stalking," continued Sanders. "He's really good at that. He's really good at restarts, and I always say one of his strengths is his restarts." Golobic would be credited with a very respectable second-place result. Local teenager Dylan Bloomfield battled hard in the early stages with the eventual runner-up before earning third in the Starr Property Management #83V Maxim for Vertullo Racing. "It would have taken a full race of green flag racing (to catch Justin)," commented Golobic. "That's how I was able to get to second in the first place: by making moves in traffic. He did an excellent job getting through traffic, and it seemed like every time we'd get into the thick of it, we would get a yellow." Bud Kaeding kept the Kaeding Performance Center #29 Maxim among the top five finishers with his fourth effort, while Cole Macedo rallied the Tarlton & Son #21 Maxim to fifth for Tarlton Motorsports. Sean Becker beat out Kaleb Montgomery for sixth place, while Justyn Cox came to the checkered flag eighth. Tanner Holmes was the Williams Roofing Hardcharger with his eighteenth to ninth performance. Chase Johnson rounded out the top ten. Sanders was the ARP Quick Qualifier and victorious in the Beacon Wealth Strategies Trophy Dash. Montgomery, Kaeding, Macedo, and Golobic were the four heat race winners. Tanner Carrick finished first in the Starr Property Management Semi-Main.

- NARC SPRINT CARS HEAD TO ANTIOCH FOR THE CONTRA COSTA COUNTY CLASH
The East Bay is about to rumble as the fire-breathing, grounding-shaking, 900+ horsepower behemoths of the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series invade Antioch Speedway on Saturday, May 11th, for the 2nd Annual Contra Costa County Clash.
- NARC RESCHEDULES MAY 4TH RAIN OUT AT TULARE TO OCTOBER 12th
Tulare Thunderbowl Raceway promoter Steve Faria and the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series worked out a plan to reschedule the rained-out May 4th Chris & Brian Faria Memorial. The race will be moved to Saturday, October 12th as a bolt-on addition to an existing program that features the Sprint Car Challenge Tour 360's.
- NARC RESCHEDULES TULARE'S CHRIS & BRIAN FARIA RACE FOR OCTOBER 12TH
(May 5, 2024 - Jim Allen) Tulare, CA ... Tulare Thunderbowl Raceway promoter Steve Faria and the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series worked out a plan to reschedule the rained-out May 4th Chris & Brian Faria Memorial. The race will be moved to Saturday, October 12th as a bolt-on addition to an existing program that features the Sprint Car Challenge Tour 360's. "I don't want to miss out on any NARC 410 dates at my track," explained Faria, "especially the Chris and Brian Faria race. By combining it with the Sprint Car Challenge Tour date in October, we will be giving the fans a great night of sprint car racing." Bad weather has played havoc on the NARC campaign this season, cancelling, postponing, or rescheduling five of the seven races to date. The next event on the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series agenda is the May 11th Contra Costa County Clash at Antioch Speedway. NARC does run at Tulare again on May 18th, followed by a rescheduled Sunday twilight show at the Stockton Dirt Track on May 19th. Updated schedules can be found at http://NARC410.com/schedule
- NARC NEWSLINE - MAY 4, 2024
NARC NEWSLINE - May 4, 2024, By Jim Allen … I'm sure we all agree when I say it's been a rough start to the 2024 season. Not just with the NARC schedule, but with just about every dirt track north of the grapevine in California. Mother Nature came bouncing out of her corner like a heavyweight champ with something to prove and pummeled motorsports into submission with wet weather. If the current trend continues, on a prorated basis, NARC would feature a whopping eight races in 2024. The worse thing about it is the weather has typically been perfect all week long, getting everybody excited, before bad weather rolls in on Friday and Saturdays. And not to leave the rest of the country out of the loop, the Outlaws and High Limit also know how to quickly find their rain gear. Because of the choppiness of the schedule, few in open wheel racing have been able to establish any real kind of "weekly" routine, making the natives restless and much of social media poison with the alleged expert opinions of the week. One driver and team that does have their act together this season is Cole Macedo and the Tarlton Motorsports team. Two-fer-two! They survived the unpredictable Battle Royale at Chico and mastered the newly remodeled Stockton Dirt Track before anybody else could. The Tarlton-team, with Drew Werner on the wrenches, is looking for their first NARC title since 2016. By the way, both NARC races had a "Road House" feel to them as only 10 of 24 starters finished at Chico, and 13 at Stockton. Silver Dollar Speedway was described as 1990's "old-school" rough, leaving aspiring drivers born in this century to struggle and figure it out. As luck would have it, Floracing capitalized on the Chico carnage for its ever-popular weekly crash highlight video … just from that one show. Man, that's an ego killer! But like clockwork, history always repeats itself. There's always a couple of events each year that look absolutely perfect on paper and then have you yelling at the steering wheel on the way home. The good news, those two are now behind us (fingers-crossed.) So with that, the NARC schedule has endured the the cancelation of the Dave Helm Memorial (3/9) and Peter Murphy Classic (4/13) in Hanford, the March Madness event at Merced (3/23), a postponement of the April 27th race at Stockton, and the postponement (yes, postponement) of today's Tulare's Chris & Brian Faria Memorial. So if you are keeping score, it's Mother Nature - 5, Cole Macedo and NARC - 2. Speaking of Stockton, everybody got their first glimpse on April 6th when the former 4/10's mile oval transitioned into a quarter-mile D-shaped bullring. As expected, the opinions were brutal despite the fact that it took a mad scramble to make the race happen in the first place. It also rained for two straight days leading up to the race and that didn't help the cause. It took a while to get the "new" Dirt Track raceable and the NARC heats didn't push off until 8:00 p.m. and the main at 11:13 p.m. (Our goal is to be done by 9:30 p.m.) Also in the pits was SCCT and they had their issues as well, including a longer than normal main event. When you added it all up, the NARC feature was called 27-laps complete at the stroke of midnight. For all of the conspiracy addicts out there, the drivers were informed by radio during the previous caution period that the scheduled 30-lapper was going to be considered complete at midnight no matter what happened. It "happened" with a multi-car crash and wasn't the way anybody wanted to end a chilly night. As Colt's Hall of Fame football coach Tony Dungy says in his book, "nothing good happens after midnight." Especially in Stockton! When all was said and done, the overall opinion of drivers and teams leaned more positive than negative and suggested improvements to make it even better. That's great news as promoter Tony Noceti is committed to the further evolution and improvement of the facility. After the show, he committed to building wider turns with more banking and a backstretch wall from turn two to four. Unfortunately, that turned out to be a ton of work and the weather didn't cooperate (try to act surprised) to allow those upgrades to be completed before our scheduled April 27th race. This postponed the event to a highly-anticipated Sunday Twilight Show on May 19th, the day after the NARC sprint cars invade Thunderbowl Raceway. (Twilight = Qualifying at 4:00 p.m.) That beats the tarnation out of another cancellation. We really need fans and teams to support this show as it could start a new trend and give race promoters another viable option. Other observers thought the Stockton postponement was the perfect opportunity for Peter Murphy to maneuver his April 13th rainout, better known as the Peter Murphy Classic, back into the schedule. However, Murphy already had a weekly show booked on that date. A few racing peeps wanted NARC to invade Kings Speedway which wasn't going to happen because the Central California locals barely have enough opportunities to race already. Not to mention, the PMC, an event filled with auctions, pageantry, and a pole shuffle, features a $50,000+ purse and needs avid fan support to support that obligation. When you figure in liability insurance, water, lights, marketing, track prep, security, garbage, officials and the like, the total expenses are closer to $70,000. And I'm being conservative. While many open wheel loyalists would attend a 7:00 a.m. Christmas morning sprint car show on short notice, the average fan which makes up 65% of any crowd would be home unwrapping gifts. In hindsight, the April 27th Kings crowd was average at best meaning a high-dollar PMC would have been a financial blood bath. It was the right call. With that being said, there is no official date for rescheduling the 10th anniversary of the PMC. Murphy has run the gauntlet to squeeze it in somewhere, but others barked back about conflicts. It appears that California promoters are battling for the same 1500 core fans. Let's hope we can figure this thing out. CALISTOGA SPEEDWAY: Some fans may have had unrealistic expectations that a race schedule would be released soon after the City of Calistoga and Napa County worked out their differences and finalized the sale of the fairgrounds. In reality that was just the starting point and best-case scenario, nobody will see a schedule until 2025. Tommy Hunt said way back in February that it would take his HMC Promotions team about six-months to promote and orchestrate the activities that surround the awesome two-day Louie Vermeil Classic weekend. Once racing is officially on the agenda, expectations will be at a Mount Everest-level as local politicians have the place under a microscope to make sure they made the right choice. That means an infield pit area packed with sprint cars, an overflowing grandstand, a Gold Cup type of feel, and race fans spending their money downtown. Otherwise, all of the pot-banging we did to get the historic half-mile reopened would have been for naught. All those who agree, say YAH! By the way, Tommy Hunt is undergoing serious health issues these days, and we wish him a speedy recovery. NARC NOTES: There are about 15 laps remaining to be sponsored for the June 1st Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial race in Placerville. Contact Karen Bradway-Tuccelli on Facebook if you are interested in sponsoring a lap in the 40-lap feature or 12-lap semi. … An entire nation gasped (on Floracing) when Ryan Robinson clipped the tractor tire coming out of turn two and flipped violently while leading at Silver Dollar Speedway at the Mini-Gold Cup NARC opener. While everybody, including wife Kylie, was attempting to comprehend what had just happened, Ryan had already managed to climb out of the Antaya Motorsports #16A and was stepping slowly to the pit area. His movements were purely instinctual as his eyes saw nothing but black after suffering his fifth racing-related concussion. Luckily, the safety crews caught up with him shortly thereafter. Ryan made an announcement a couple of days later that he is retiring from racing. You know it was a tough decision, but it was the right one. He knows that you can only scramble the eggs so many times. Never forget that this is a dangerous sport. … Willie Croft will be battling for the Skagit Speedway championship in Washington this year with "Rudeen" backing on his number 29 sprint car. He will be attempting to dethrone the defending champ, Trey Starks. … … Only six drivers have finished in the top ten in both races. Can you name them? How about … obviously Cole Macedo … Tanner Carrick, Bud Kaeding, Nick Parker, and rookies Gauge Garcia and Cadeen Steele. Carrick may be the most underrated driver in California with a sixth and third place finish in NARC competition, as well as two Ocean 360 wins to his credit. He is overdue to post his first NARC career victory. … Dominic Scelzi is back in California. He was planning to miss the first six NARC shows of the season while he was chasing races around the Midwest with the Outlaws and High Limit. As it turns out, he only missed two. He will be a "wild card" the rest of the season, attempting to steal victories as others chase the championship. … All, like in every single one of our events are on Floracing.com … David Castenada reports that work is underway at Santa Maria Speedway. After sitting dormant for a couple of years, the track needs serious love to make it race ready. Tony Pombo, who signed a lease-agreement for the place, is actively involved in the process. NARC invades Santa Maria on July 27th - right about the time temperatures hit 110 degrees in the Central Valley. … Justyn Cox cracked three ribs at the Chico opener. You know it was bad when he couldn't golf! ... … The new NARC 65th Anniversary Coloring Book is hot off the press. Thank you to Creative Finishes Plus and Andy & Candace Forsberg for sponsoring this project. Also, thanks to my wife Carol who did all of the artwork. We will pass them out to kids at upcoming events. … Which reminds me of a quick story from the last time we had a NARC coloring book in 2019. While handing them out to excited kids in Tulare, one impatient attractive woman (40ish) insisted on getting one for herself. I politely told her it's kids first, since we need to keep them engaged so their parents continue to bring them to the races. I said if there are any left, I would hook her up. A minute or two later, she impatiently works her way back in line and offers to flip up her shirt and show me the goods if I give her one. Excuse me, did I hear that right? Now I'm not going to say what actually happened at that point, but she walked away with crayons also. … THE ROAD TO THE DIRT CUP: It's hard to believe the Fastest Five Days in Motorsports are only about 40-days away. Based on phone calls, emails, and DM, there is going to be a large contingent of fans making this stellar road trip. It's going to be a parade going up Interstate 5. If you haven't locked down your tickets yet, each track's website is ready to serve them up. By the way, the five FFDM shows pay $5,000 to win and $600 to start the A. The Northwest Focus Midgets will be the support division for the first four events. They put on a great show. From the FFDM Father's Day finale at Grays Harbor Raceway, we continue North to the Jim Raper Memorial Super Dirt Cup. That group is busy putting together fan engagement activities for this showcase event. I'm spearheading the Super Dirt Cup Charity Golf Tournament on Wednesday, June 19th - the day BEFORE the three-days of racing kicks off. We are looking to accomplish two things … build on the "Club" in Northern Auto Racing Club by having an enjoyable day at the nearby Avalon Golf Links. And two, raise money for the NARC Benevolent Fund and the Rayce Rudeen Foundation. Please join us, no matter what your skill level. Off the record, this may become more of a drinking event than a birdie event.

- Sprint Cars aplenty showcased at First Responders Night Saturday
Placerville, CA…Russell Motorsports Inc. presents the best of both worlds this Saturday as Winged Sprint Cars, Wingless Sprint Cars and more converge at Placerville Speedway for another night of championship auto racing. First Responders Night at the races features the Thompson's Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Cars, the Joe Hunt Magnetos Wingless Sprints, BCRA Lightning Sprints and the Mountain Democrat Mini Trucks. Live music will occur from 4-6pm featuring the tunes of Ed Wilson, while Coors Light Happy Hour takes place until 6pm at the Cold Zone. First responders receive $5 off admission with valid ID at the gate. "We've had two great events to open the season and are looking forward to First Responders Night on Saturday," said Placerville Speedway Promoter Scott Russell. "We are offering race fans the best of both worlds this weekend with Winged and Non-Winged Sprint Cars, plus our always popular Mini Truck class. Hopefully everyone can join us in the grandstands." Shane Golobic opened the Thompson's Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Car season in victory lane last weekend during the Tribute to Al Hinds. He was followed across the line by Dylan Bloomfield, Landon Brooks, Justin Sanders and Tanner Carrick. The Joe Hunt Magnetos Wingless Sprint Cars also opened their campaign last week with veteran Shawn Arriaga bringing home the Randy Larson Memorial in Petaluma. Jacob Tuttle, Josh Young, Bradley Terrell and Tony Super rounded out the top-five. The Hunt Tour also returns for an event in July on the red clay. Waterford's Dakota Albright picked up four wins last season with the Bay Cities Racing Association Lightning Sprints at Placerville Speedway. Albright this year, however, will be competing with the Thompson's Winged Sprint Cars for Spencer Motorsports. The BCRA Lightning Sprints are keen to make several appearances, both with and without the wings. The Mountain Democrat Mini Trucks launched their season on April 20th, an event that multi-time track champion Mike Miller of Placerville captured.

- TULARE'S CHRIS & BRIAN FARIA MEMORIAL NEXT FOR NARC 410 SPRINT CAR SERIES
(4/29/24 - Ben Deatherage) Tulare, California ...The 900+ horsepower fire-breathing cars and stars of the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series are thrilled to return to Thunderbowl Raceway on Saturday, May 4th, for the Chris & Brian Faria Memorial! The 1/3-mile clay oval action track in Tulare is renowned for its breathtaking action, lightning-quick speed, and edge-of-your-seat racing. "We're really excited to get back to Tulare," said Chico's Nick Parker, who is off to a hot start and enters the weekend fifth in the championship standings. "It's a track we've been okay at and struggled at sometimes, but I'm feeling really confident from some of our recent runs and that we continue to build off of our good finishes." The Faria Memorial marks the third round of the 65th Anniversary season for the Northern Auto Racing Club. It is the third different venue the popular series has visited in 2024. The schedule has also endured three rain-outs. The race is run in memory of two members of the storied Faria family. Chris unfortunately passed away in a farming accident in 1993, and Brian was tragically killed in an automobile crash in early 2006. This will be the first time since 2021 that NARC has been a part of the Faria Memorial. The companion division for the evening is the Kings of Thunder 360 Sprints. Championship Chase Despite still being in the early stages of the quest to become the King of the West, this Saturday kicks off a busy portion of the calendar as it will significantly indicate who will become the frontrunners for the prestigious championship title. It kicks off the meat of the schedule with 16-races in the next 11-weeks. Cole Macedo will lead the points table entering the Faria Memorial and is batting one-hundred-percent in the win column with NARC by taking care of business at both the Mini Gold Cup and the Asparagus Cup. After spending the last few weeks in the Midwest, the Lemoore racer, in the Tarlton Motorsports #21, recently posted an impressive fifth-place result at West Memphis, Arkansas' Riverside International Speedway on April 23rd with the High Limit Series and was fourth against the World of Outlaws on April 29th at Paducah International Raceway in Kentucky. Tanner Carrick, from Lincoln, is the current runner-up in the championship race and trails Macedo by a mere twelve markers. Carrick has posted two Top 10 results in two NARC feature starts and was on the podium with a third-place finish at the new Stockton Dirt Track back in April. Caeden Steele is the pacesetter in the Class of 2024 rookie race as he sits third in the standings. The Easton driver wowed the crowd at Chico when he was third at the drop of the checkered and is a star on the rise in the Golden State. 2017 champion Bud Kaeding is currently fourth in points and has yet to finish outside of the Top 10 with the series, including a season-best fifth at the Mini Gold Cup. The Campbell chauffeur has managed to score three victories at Tulare over the years when NARC has come to town, with his most recent trip to Thunderbowl victory lane on April 21st, 2018, during the Spring Nationals. Parker, originally from Tucson, Arizona, has shown moments of brilliance with NARC this year. The 2023 Rookie of the Year scored his first career NARC Top 5 at the Asparagus Cup. After finishing fifth at Stockton, the team is hungry to build on their April performance. Who to Watch Justin Sanders hopes to return to his winning ways for the Mittry Motorsports #2X team. The driver from the coastal city of Aromas was third the last time NARC was in Tulare during the Dennis Roth Classic last April. It is one of the few tracks on the schedule that Sanders has yet to win at with the tour, but that stat could easily change. 2021 and 2022 NARC champion Dominic Scelzi is excited to race with NARC for the first time in 2024. After spending the spring months on the East Coast and the Midwest, the Fresno wheelman has a trio of trips to the top of the Tulare podium, with his latest victory coming on May 13th, 2022, on the first night of the Peter Murphy Classic. Scelzi is the most recent victor of the Faria when he hit pay dirt in July of 2021. Roseville runner Justyn Cox can't wait to get back to the Thunderbowl. Last year, He captured the $18,383. payday at the Dennis Roth Classic for the Bates-Hamilton Racing #42X team, his first career NARC triumph. Several other Central Valley contenders are expected to be in the house. They include 2019 NARC champ D.J. Netto from Hanford, Lemoore's Gauge Garcia returning behind the wheel of the Keller Motorsports #2K, Dominic Gorden of Clovis, and Tipton driver Dawson Faria. Netto won this event in 2015. Other NARC 410 Series regulars in action will include Oakley pilot Dylan Bloomfield in the Vertullo #83V, Billy Aton from Benicia, Penngrove's Chase Johnson, Chico pilot Michael Ing, and Jarrett Soares of Gilroy. Also expected to be in action are Fremont's Shane Golobic, Templeton native Kaleb Montgomery, and Ashlyn Rodriguez from Wilton.
