NARC SPRINT CARS HEAD TO TULARE FOR CHRIS & BRIAN FARIA MEMORIAL RACE
(4/21/25 - Andrew Kunas) Tulare, CA ,,, A Thunderbowl Raceway cornerstone event is next on tap for the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series, which will race in the Chris & Brian Faria Memorial this Saturday, April 26th. Saturday's event is the first of two visits that NARC will make to the 1/3-mile, high-banked clay oval located at the Tulare County Fairgrounds this season. This marks the third stop on the 27-event NARC campaign. First contested in 2002, the event honors a pair of brothers from the Faria family, longtime participants in California racing. Chris Faria, who was an up-and-coming racer, passed away after a farming accident in 1993. His older brother Brian, who was active behind the scenes at Thunderbowl Raceway, tragically passed away in early 2006 in a traffic accident, and Brian's name was soon put alongside his brother's name for this race. The event, held at one of California's most challenging dirt tracks, has long been looked forward to by NARC competitors and fans, and the list of past winners of the race reads like a who's who of west coast sprint car racing. Jason Meyers, a future two-time World of Outlaws champion, won the inaugural event in 2002. National Sprint Car Hall of Famer Brent Kaeding won it twice in the latter years of his legendary career. A young kid named Kyle Larson, years before the NASCAR world got to know him, was the 2010 winner of the race. NARC champions such as D.J. Netto and Kyle Hirst are also past winners. Last year's Chris & Brian Faria Memorial was rained out on its original sprint date, but the series and Thunderbowl Raceway were able to reschedule the event to October 12th, and it was Cole Macedo picking up the victory that night. Netto, who lives just down the road from Thunderbowl Raceway in Hanford, currently leads the NARC point standings after two completed events aboard the Netto Ag No. 88N. With his win in the season opening event at Stockton Dirt Track, followed by his fourth place run at the Mini Gold Cup at Silver Dollar Speedway, Netto carries a five-point advantage over Templeton's Kaleb Montgomery. Montgomery, having driven two different cars in two races, turned in Top 5 finishes each time, including a third-place effort at the Mini Gold Cup. WHO TO WATCH Justin Sanders, after a tough month of March, bounced back in a big way at Silver Dollar Speedway, winning the Mini Gold Cup after a last lap battle with Tanner Holmes. With the $10,000 NARC victory at Chico, the reigning NARC "King of the West" clawed back to sixth in the standings, only 12 points out of the lead and feeling that momentum is back on the side of the Mittry Motorsports No. 2x. Fremont's Shane Golobic enters the night third in the NARC point standings aboard the Matt Wood Racing No. 17w. While Golobic did not fare well in the Faria Memorial race last October, he was victorious in the NARC race at the Tulare clay oval in May. Golobic has been competitive at Thunderbowl Raceway, logging many top five and top ten finishes over the years, including a seventh place run just last month with the High Limit Racing series during their spring California swing. Others expected to compete include Roseville's Sean Becker and Ryan Bernal, Lincoln's Tanner Carrick, San Jose's Tim Kaeding, Oakley's Dylan Bloomfield, Tyler Thompson from Oregon, Arizona's Ashton Torgerson, Chance Grasty from Suisun City, Campbell's Bud Kaeding, Benicia's Billy Aton, John Clark from Windsor, Landon Brooks from Rio Oso, and many others. Central California will be well represented in the pit area with competitors including two-time series champion Dominic Scelzi and Gauge Garcia from Fresno, 2024 Rookie of the Year Caeden Steele of Lemoore, and Dominic Gorden and Mariah Ede from Clovis. FAN INFO It will be all sprint cars on Saturday night at Thunderbowl Raceway, as winged 360 Kings of Thunder sprint cars and California Racesaver sprints will also be in action. The NARC portion of the program includes qualifying, three eight-lap heat races, a six-lap trophy dash, and a 30-lap feature event headliner. Tickets will be available at the front gate for fans.

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

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

NARC SPRINT CAR TEAMS HEAD TO CHICO IN PURSUIT OF $10,000 MINI GOLD CUP WINNER CHECK
(4/7/25 - Andrew Kunas) Chico, CA ... The first big money race of the season has arrived for the NARC 410 sprint cars, with the prestigious Mini Gold Cup happening this Saturday, April 12th at Silver Dollar Speedway. Saturday's winner will score NARC's first five-figure payday of 2025, taking home $10,000 for their efforts. First run in 1987, the Mini Gold Cup was a longtime staple on the Northern California sprint car schedule, bringing fans and competitors to the challenging ¼-mile clay oval in Chico. Several editions over the years saw the event on the World of Outlaws schedule, but it has otherwise been a NARC event. After a hiatus of a few years that started with the COVID-19 plagued 2020 season, the SLC Promotions team brought the beloved event back a couple of years ago. Regardless of sanction, the Mini Gold Cup has long been a premier season event sprint car fans on the West Coast. Cole Macedo won last year's Mini Gold Cup after leader Ryan Robinson crashed on the final lap. It was Macedo's second Mini Gold Cup win, that one coming aboard the Tarlton Motorsports No. 21. With Macedo now on the World of Outlaws tour, the Tarlton team has been going with Jacksonville, Oregon standout Tanner Holmes. The pairing has already found success, winning an earlier race at Silver Dollar Speedway and then turning into multiple Top 5 finishes with High Limit Racing during their March swing through California. That has many fans pointing at Holmes as one of the favorites on Saturday. Hanford's D.J. Netto, with his win in last month's NARC season opener at the Stockton Dirt Track, has the points lead aboard the Netto Ag No. 88n going into the weekend with a four-point advantage over Fremont's Shane Golobic. Netto, a former NARC champion, will be one to watch, as he won twice in other 410 sprint car competition at Silver Dollar Speedway last year, including the Friday night Mini Gold Cup Tune-Up. Golobic also already is a winner in Chico this season in non-NARC competition, winning the night before Holmes did. Golobic and the Matt Wood Racing No. 17w are also hoping that translates to NARC success at the Mini Gold Cup on Saturday. In the Mini Gold Cup record books, National Sprint Car Hall of Famer Brent Kaeding leads everyone with four total Mini Gold Cup triumphs, taking checkered flags in 1991, 1993, 1996 and 2001. A pair of World of Outlaws champions, Jason Meyers, and Donny Schatz each have three wins in the prestigious race. WHO TO WATCH One other driver who will be watched is reigning NARC champion Justin Sanders of Aromas. The 2024 "King of the West" won the David Tarter Memorial last June when the NARC 410 sprint cars last tackled Silver Dollar Speedway, one of his seven NARC wins en route to the series championship. Sanders and the Mittry Motorsports No. 2x are looking at the Mini Gold Cup as the perfect opportunity to bounce back after a disappointing month of March. Never one to be counted out at Silver Dollar Speedway, San Jose's Tim Kaeding is always one to keep an eye on aboard the Williams Motorsports No. 0. A two-time "King of the West" and one of NARC's all-time winningest drivers with 74 victories, Kaeding has won several big races in Chico over the years, and that includes two Mini Gold Cups, those wins coming in 2005 and 2007. Templeton driver Kaleb Montgomery gave a strong performance at the Salute to Leroy Van Conett at Stockton on March 8th, driving from 15th to finish 4th in the NARC season opener. He later turned more heads by making the dash and finishing fifth in a High Limit Racing main event at Perris Auto Speedway. After this prior weekend's cancelations, fans remain eager to see what the young driver has ahead of him as he pursues his first NARC victory aboard the Montgomery Racing No. 3. A full field of sprint car teams are expected to fill the pit area. Other drivers expected to compete on Friday night include Roseville's Sean Becker, Oakley's Dylan Bloomfield, Tanner Carrick of Lincoln, Clovis drivers Dominic Gorden and Mariah Ede, Bud Kaeding of Campbell, Arizona driver Ashton Torgerson, Landon Brooks from Rio Oso, Tyler Thompson from Oregon, Lemoore's Caeden Steele, Gauge Garcia of Fresno, Benicia's Billy Aton and many more. FAN INFO Front gates open at 4:00 pm, with hot laps at 5:30 pm and qualifying to follow at 6:00 pm. Racing is scheduled to start at 6:45 pm. BCRA lightning sprints are also scheduled to compete. As a bonus for fans, Silver Dollar Speedway is also racing on Friday night, April 11th, with 410 sprint cars in action as a tune-up for Saturday's $10,000 to win Mini Gold Cup. Fans who cannot make it in person can watch live on www.floracing.com. FloRacing livestreams all NARC shows.

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

NARC HEAD TO OCEAN SPEEDWAY ON FRIDAY FOR THE SPRINT CAR "SPRING FLING" RACE
(3/31/25 - Andrew Kunas) Watsonville, CA … After a few weeks off, the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series returns to action when it opens the month of April with a Friday night showdown at Ocean Speedway on April 4th. Friday's Spring Fling is the first of a series-high five races scheduled at the ¼-mile Watsonville, California clay oval, which has long been a staple on the NARC tour. This comes after just one NARC race was held in Watsonville last year, when eventual series champion Justin Sanders picked up the big Howard Kaeding Classic victory in July. In 2025, race fans in the Monterey Bay area will be treated to much more winged 410 sprint car action, and it begins Friday night. NARC was scheduled to also race this Saturday, April 5th at the Stockton Dirt Track, where the series opened its season on March 8th, but a recent electrical fire at the San Joaquin Fairgrounds has left the facility unsafe to use for at least the next couple of weeks, forcing the cancellation of Saturday's event. Hanford driver D.J. Netto, with his win at Stockton in March, is the NARC points leader going into Friday's event with a four-point advantage over Shane Golobic of Fremont. Netto knows Ocean Speedway well as he is also a former feature winner there aboard the Netto Ag No. 88n. Golobic and the Matt Wood Racing No. 17w team should be competitive at Ocean Speedway as well, as they were Howard Kaeding Classic winners in Watsonville just two years ago. Justin Sanders and the Mittry Motorsports No. 2x team is also looking to bounce back in a big way after his untimely spin out while running second in the season opening race at Stockton. Sanders was battling hard, trying to pass Netto for the lead in traffic, when he spun out as he tried to pass a lapped car. He eventually finished 15th and is looking for an immediate turnaround with his Mittry Motorsports team. WHO TO WATCH One driver that many fans will be keeping an eye on this weekend is Kaleb Montgomery. The young Templeton, California driver turned in a solid performance in the NARC season opener, driving from 15th to finish fourth in the main event at Stockton. Just a couple of weeks later, Montgomery turned a lot of eyes by making the dash and then turned in an impressive fifth place finish in the main event with the High Limit Racing series at Perris Auto Speedway. The strong runs have Montgomery feeling confident as he pursues his first NARC victory aboard his Montgomery Racing No. 3. A change in philosophy by Montgomery may be a factor as well. "I'm just having fun with my family," Montgomery said last week. "I traded my goals in a race night for standards, and as long as I meet my standards, (I believe) the wins will come." Another driver and team due to hit it big is Jacksonville, Oregon's Tanner Holmes and the Tarlton Motorsports No. 21 team, who are running a partial schedule together. After difficulties in the NARC season opener at Stockton, the team found success during High Limit's run through California in March, with Holmes earning fourth and fifth place finishes at Thunderbowl Raceway and Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway, respectively, and then running second place most of the way at Perris Auto Speedway before losing a right rear tire on a rubber down track. The Tarlton Motorsports team has long been no stranger to success with NARC, winning the series titles in 2015 and 2016, and nearly won the NARC title last year with Cole Macedo (now on the World of Outlaws tour.) A full field of sprint car teams are expected to fill the pit area.

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

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

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