  Stockton Dirt Track caps SCCT season on Saturday

  Stockton, CA…What started in April will come to a grand conclusion this Saturday when the Sprint Car Challenge Tour tackles the Stockton Dirt Track for the 41st annual "Tribute to Gary Patterson." The November 2nd showdown will be a can't miss affair with both the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour and the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series crowning champions in the unique Stockton victory corral. The Tribute to Gary Patterson has also morphed back into a double header weekend with Winged 360 Sprint Cars, the Hunt Wingless Tour and Dwarf Cars launching things on Friday night. Plenty of camping is available on the fairgrounds for those who want to make a weekend out of it. "We look forward to GP weekend this Friday and Saturday," said Stockton Dirt Track Promoter Tony Noceti. "We continue doing work on this track to try and give teams the best possible surface. Alan Handy has been here massaging it and I feel like we should have two great nights of racing." Andy Forsberg heads into Saturday hoping to wrap up his second Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour title. If he can do so, it would mark championship 28 for the Auburn driver. Forsberg claimed a SCCT victory at the Adobe Cup in Petaluma and looks to finish off the season in that same fashion. El Cajon resident Braden Chiaramonte goes into Stockton gunning to lock up second in the standings, as well as the Garth Moore Insurance Rookie of the Year Award. The 17-year-old has been impressive this year while gaining laps with the Tiner-Hirst Ent. team. Oakley's Dylan Bloomfield, Placerville's Shane Hopkins and Livermore's Travis Labat rank third, fourth and fifth respectively in the points. Completing the top-10 heading into the season finale are Yuba City's Seth Standley, Aromas' Justin Sanders, Roseville's Colby Copeland, Hanford's Michael Faccinto and Roseville's Sean Becker. Sanders recorded a clean sweep during the only other SCCT appearance in Stockton this season and has captured the last two Tribute to Gary Patterson main events with the tour. He climbs back aboard the Dale Miller Septic No. 4sa mount looking to claim his seventh SCCT win of the year. Known as the "Dancing Phantom from Stockton," the "Preacher," the "Hostile Hippie" or just simply "GP," Gary Patterson was one of the most colorful characters of his time and captured several major wins in his career, including the Gold Cup Race of Champions, the Super Dirt Cup in Washington and the Turkey Night Grand Prix at Ascot Park among others. Patterson lost his life in a Sprint Car crash at Calistoga Speedway on Memorial Day weekend 1983 and an event in his memory has been held every year since. "GP" moved to Stockton, California in 1957 and began his career at the Stockton 99 Speedway. This year marks the 12th season in a row that we've paid honor to Patterson in Stockton.

  NARC CHAMPIONSHIP FINALE BRINGS SPRINT CARS TO STOCKTON DIRT TRACK FOR TRIBUTE TO GP

  (10/28/24 - Ben Deatherage) Stockton, California ... On Saturday, November 2nd, all roads for the NARC King of the West championship led to the 41st Annual Tribute to Gary Patterson at the Stockton Dirt Track. This highly anticipated event, marking the end of the 65th Anniversary season for the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series, is the last chance for fans to witness the awe-inspiring, fire breathing, 900+ horsepower machines that define the series. "We are always proud to host the NARC and SCCT sprint cars at the season finale," said promoter Tony Noceti. "Not only are they bringing the best open wheel racing on the west coast, but their championships will be decided at the Stockton Dirt Track." The Tribute to Gary Patterson is not just an event, it's a cornerstone tradition of the NARC 410 Sprint Series. Gary Patterson, one of the original 'true Outlaws,' left an indelible mark on the sport, winning the Gold Cup at West Capital Speedway and the Turkey Night Grand Prix at Ascot, both in 1977 and Skagit Speedway's storied Super Dirt Cup in 1973. His legacy lives on through this event, which honors his memory and contributions to sprint car racing. Since 1984, there has been a Tribute To GP, which began at Calistoga until 2007. Silver Dollar Speedway was honored to have the race from 2008 to 2012. The Stockton Dirt Track has been the home of the event since 2013 and, from 2017 to the present, has been the championship event for the NARC 410 Sprint Series. Steve Kent and Brent Kaeding have the most wins in the event, with four each. Roseville's Justyn Cox who drives for the Bates-Hamilton Racing Team is one of many teams looking to get in victory lane. "I love Stockton, it's close to home. It's kind of a home track for me, and Tony Noceti works hard, and he is doing his best to make it a great racetrack. I appreciate that we have a promoter that's willing to stick his neck out there like he does." The companion division for the night will be the Sprint Car Challenge Tour 360 sprint cars and the Legends of Kearny Bowl. Championship Chase The battle for the King of the West championship has been nothing short of intense, with Justin Sanders and Cole Macedo locked in a nail-biting fight for the top spot throughout the season. The thrill of this competition is going to keep everyone on edge as a mere three points separate the two. That is the difference between winning and second place. Both drivers have won at the newly configured 1/4-mile clay oval on the two previous trips this season. Macedo won the Asparagus Cup in April, while Sanders was victorious at the Salute to LeRoy Van Connett in May. Driving the Mittry Motorsports #2X machine, Sanders, from Aromas, CA, won the Tribute to GP in 2022. He's accumulated three wins in 11 career NARC starts at Stockton. Macedo, representing Lemoore, aboard the Tarlton Motorsports #21 entry, has yet to finish outside the top five in NARC action since the track was reshaped last winter, with his worst performance being a fifth in May. Sanders occupied the podium twice in the doubleheader last weekend, with a second at Kern County Raceway and a third at the Anthony Simone Classic in Hanford. Macedo was involved in a hard crash at Kern that forced him to bow out early and surrender the point lead only to rebound spectacularly by winning the Simone at Kings Speedway. Who To Watch 2017 NARC champion Bud Kaeding wants to reenter Stockton's legendary winner's circle. The Campbell chauffeur has posted consistent results with sixth and seventh-place efforts on the smaller variety of the track. His most recent NARC win was at Stockton in August of 2019. Dylan Bloomfield hopes to grab his first-ever NARC victory for his car owners, Dave and Debbie Vertullo. The Oakley teenager was ninth in his last series appearance at "The Van Connett" in May. Shane Golobic has won twice on the old 3/8-mile of Stockton and hopes to add a "New Stockton Dirt Track" win to his impressive resume. The Fremont pilot of the Matt Wood Racing #17W has also won the Tribute to GP twice when he was triumphant in 2014 and 2019. Justyn Cox is happy to be back doing what he loves: racing Sprint Cars. Coming back from injury last weekend. The Roseville driver is hoping to deliver a strong finish after showing a lot of speed in the previous two trips to the track this year. The driver-team combination already has hit pay dirt this season with a victory at Oregon's Cottage Grove Speedway during the Fastest Five Days in Motorsports. For Fresno's Dominic Scelzi, this will be the first time he's been to the new Stockton with NARC. The two-time NARC champ did log some laps when the World of Outlaws were in town on September 6th. Scelzi has historically excelled at the old track, winning three times and has been consistently quick the last few weeks with the tour. Tim Kaeding has been a major storyline in 2024 with NARC, as he's shown he still possesses his jungle-cat quickness. The two-time series champion, hailing from San Jose, has cracked off a couple of wins in the last few shows with the Williams Motorsports #0 team. "TK" won the Tribute to GP in eight-year increments, 2008 and 2016. Will that trend continue? Not only is a series championship on the line but so is the title of Rookie of the Year. Easton's Caeden Steele leads the charge of the trio of youngsters battling in the NARC top ten. He was eighth at the Asparagus Cup in April. Fellow Rookies, Gauge Garcia from Lemoore and Clovis' Dominic Gorden will try their best to end the season on a solid note. In the Keller Motorsports #2K car, Garica has tenth and 11th place finishes at Stockton to his credit. Gorden was eighth the last time NARC was at Stockton, and it kicked off a positive trend of strong results for the young man. D.J. Netto of Hanford is another driver who has enjoyed a lot of success on the old configuration, with wins in 2021 and 2022, but is looking to score a win on the new one. The 2019 NARC champion was 16th at the Asparagus Cup in his only appearance at the track. In April, Nick Parker had a special moment when he managed to record his first career NARC top five. Finishing fifth at the Asparagus Cup, the Arizona transplant now residing in Chico is hopeful that another successful outing is in the cards. Journeying from Benicia, Billy Aton has some unfinished business at Stockton. Leading most of the first half of the Salute to LeRoy Van Connett, his engine stalled and caused a crash when it looked like another victory was in his grasp. Can he get on top of the podium to close out 2024? You will have to be there to find out. Fan & Competitor Info There will be a NARC champions autograph session taking place in front of the grandstands between 3:00 and 5:00. The Stockton Dirt Track is located at the San Joaquin Fairgrounds at 1658 S Airport Way in Stockton, California.

  Tanner Carrick surges to initial Thunderbowl victory with SCCT

  Tulare, CA…Lincoln's Tanner Carrick shot out front early and cruised to his first ever Thunderbowl Raceway triumph with the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour on Saturday night. It marked the fourth SCCT victory of Carrick's career, placing him in a tie for sixth place all-time with Rico Abreu. His win during the annual Chris & Brian Faria Memorial came aboard the familiar California Waterfowl/ TC Guide Service No. 83T. "Thunderbowl Raceway is always one of those challenging tracks so it's a special moment when you can get a win here," Carrick said after the race. "I really have to thank my entire team for working hard all night while running two cars. We had a lot of speed right up top in the SCCT main event and that gives me a ton of confidence going into the Trophy Cup next week." After winning the High Sierra Industries Dash, Carrick blasted into the lead at the waving of the Darryck Fairbanks' green flag in the main event. The 22-year-old pulled away to a large lead throughout the course of the race shortened 25-lap feature. Several slow downs occurred, but Carrick never faltered up front and drove away from everybody to claim the checkered flag. Fresno's Caeden Steele put together a solid outing to cross the stripe in second, followed by San Jose's Tim Kaeding, who continued his impressive string of races. Aromas' Justin Sanders made a cameo appearance in the Snow Racing No. 7 and brought home a fourth-place result, while Hanford's DJ Netto earned his second straight top-five finish in Sprint Car Challenge Tour competition by crossing the line in fifth. Completing the top-10 in the SCCT finale were Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Colby Thornhill, who rocketed through the pack from 23rd to sixth, followed by Ashton Torgerson, Joey Ancona, Dylan Bloomfield and 22nd starter Sean Becker. A total of 36 cars competed at the Faria Memorial/ Trophy Cup tune-up. Suisun City's Chance Grasty began the evening by earning his first Sierra Foothills Wine Services fast time of the year by clocking a 13.607 around the Thunderbowl Raceway. The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour returns to action on Saturday November 2nd at the Stockton Dirt Track.

  SCCT set for penultimate race of the season Saturday at Thunderbowl Raceway

  Tulare, CA…Fresh off an exciting race in Hanford last week the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour ventures back down to the Central Valley for the Chris & Brian Faria Memorial this Saturday at Tulare Thunderbowl Raceway. It will be the penultimate show of the SCCT campaign and the first visit to Tulare since 2022. The action-packed evening of racing is the final opportunity for drivers to get laps at Thunderbowl Raceway prior to the 30th Trophy Cup next week. The October 12th event also showcases the NARC 410 Sprint Cars, plus RaceSaver Sprints, and has long been a cornerstone on the Thunderbowl Raceway schedule. Chris Faria was an up and coming driver who was the youngest of five children to Danny Sr. & Arlet Faria. He grew up on their farm in Tipton and was known as the prankster of the family. Chris unfortunately lost his life at the age of 21 during a farming accident and his memory has been kept alive with a memorial race at the Thunderbowl Raceway ever since. Brian was the oldest of the five Faria children and was taken from us in January of 2006 during an accident while driving on a highway. Brian enjoyed helping out with the track preparation at the Thunderbowl, as he drove the water truck and the grader among other things. "We look forward to hosting the Chris & Brian Faria Memorial on Saturday," track GM Josh Miller said. "It's always one of the big events at Thunderbowl Raceway and having three Winged Sprint Car divisions should make for a great night of racing. We hope everyone will come out on October 12th and then stay for the Trophy Cup next week." With two races left in the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour season Auburn's Andy Forsberg continues to maintain a large 114-point advantage at the top of the standings. The 48-year-old veteran brought home a consistent top-10 last week in Hanford and hopes for more of the same this Saturday at Thunderbowl Raceway. Leading Garth Moore Insurance Rookie of the Year contender Braden Chiaramonte will get some valuable laps at the Thunderbowl on Saturday in prep for next weeks Trophy Cup. The 17-year-old goes into the Faria Memorial ranking second in the SCCT points and has shown the ability to be aggressive when needed, a perfect recipe for success in Tulare. Oakley's Dylan Bloomfield, Placerville's Shane Hopkins and Roseville's Colby Copeland round out the top-five in points going into the Chris & Brian Faria Memorial. Ranking six through 10 are Livermore's Travis Labat, Hanford's Michael Faccinto, Yuba City's Seth Standley, Aromas' Justin Sanders and Mesa, Arizona's Corbin Rueschenberg. Tickets and Details: Adult Grandstand tickets for the Faria Memorial/ Trophy Cup Tune-Up at Thunderbowl Raceway this Saturday cost $40, while Bleacher tickets are $35.

  THUNDERBOWL RACEWAY HOSTS NARC SPRINT CARS FOR RESCHEDULED CHRIS & BRIAN FARIA MEMORIAL ON SATURDAY

  (10/7/24 - Ben Deatherage) Tulare, CA ... The cars and stars of the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series are gearing up for their final appearance at Thunderbowl Raceway in 2024 with the highly anticipated running of the Chris & Brian Faria Memorial. This is the last chance to witness the 900+ horsepower machines tear up the monster cushion "claymaker" factory facility this season. "Tulare's been one of my favorite tracks and fits my driving style of running the top where the cushion develops," stated current Rookie of the Year points leader Caeden Steele, who placed third in the last Tulare installment. "We've been getting some good runs this year and just need to step it up and get that first NARC win and I think Tulare would be a great place to do it." The Faria Memorial marks the 20th show of the 65th Anniversary season for the Northern Auto Racing Club and the second trip to the Thunderbowl this year. This event was initially slated for early May before lousy weather washed out the night. Fortunately, the series and the track were able to work it into the schedule before year end. 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 is the first time since 2021 that NARC has been a part of the Faria Memorial. The companion divisions for the evening will be the Sprint Car Challenge Tour/Kings of Thunder 360 Sprints and the Western RaceSaver Sprints. Who To Watch The championship has been a nail-biting battle for practically the entire season. Justin Sanders and Cole Macedo have been fiercely competing for the title of King of the West, like two prize fighters. As they head into Tulare, the two have some comparative stats, such as average finishes at the track, with Sanders boasting an average of 12.500 in eight starts and Macedo a 12.333 in three feature showings. The Aromas pilot aboard the Mittry Motorsports #2X has a narrow seven-point advantage ahead of the current runner-up Macedo, from Lemoore, in the Tarlton Motorsports #21X entry. But Sanders is the only one of the two with a podium when he achieved a third in the 2023 Dennis Roth Classic. However, Macedo was fourth on the last visit to the facility, while Sanders was 11th. The current point standings leader won the first of two main events of the Morrie Williams Memorial last weekend, while Macedo won the overall event based on his finishes. Back in May, at Tulare, the above-mentioned Rookie of the Year contender, Steele, showed the Sprint Car world that he was looking for a legit threat to win some races. It was the second time the Easton teenager landed on the podium this season. Other Rookies looking to hit pay dirt include Lemoore's Gauge Garcia, aboard the Keller Motorsports #2K, and Dominic Gorden of Clovis. Gorden is the only one of the trio to score a NARC feature victory this season. The last time the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series visited Tulare, Shane Golobic hoisted the winner's check above his head. It has thus far been the only time that the Matt Wood Racing #17W pilot occupied victory lane in 2024 with the series. But one thing is sure: never sleep on the talents of Shane and his crew chief brother Dustin Golobic, as they are a force to reckon with no matter what's running at the Thunderbowl. D.J. Netto has just one lone NARC win at Tulare in 2015 but would love to be back in victory lane. The last time the Hanford driver was at the famed 1/3-mile clay oval with the series he was tenth. That was the best run with the group for the 2019 tour champ since coming back to the track, where he suffered an injury that nearly ended his career when his collarbone was shattered in late October of 2022. Dominic Scelzi has had much success at "The Bowl" over the years, with three trips to victory lane, including the most recent running of the Faria Memorial in 2021. Look for the two-time NARC champion from Fresno to be on the charge. Some other contenders making the trip to be on the lookout for include 2017 NARC champion Bud Kaeding of Campbell, Oakley's Dylan Bloomfield, Rio Oso rising star Landon Brooks in the Bates-Hamilton Racing #42X, Benicia's Billy Aton, Nick Parker of Chico, and Jarrett Soares from Gilroy, Jacksonville, Iowa native Austin McCarl in the famed Country Builders Construction #88, Tipton's Dawson Faria, and more!

  Justin Sanders makes late move to net Cotton Classic at Kings Speedway

  Hanford, CA…Justin Sanders and car owner Dale Miller continued their fantastic season on Friday at Kings Speedway in Hanford, as the Aromas driver captured an entertaining Cotton Classic with the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour. It marked the sixth win in eight SCCT starts for Sanders this year and was his initial triumph in the Penny Newman Grain Cotton Classic. He also began the evening by earning the Sierra Foothills Wine Services Fast Time Award. "It feels great to get another win for Dale and Tara Miller here tonight at Kings Speedway," Sanders commented on the victory lane podium. "This track was perfect tonight and that made for some great racing. Luckily, I was able to get by Dominic Gorden there and score the win." Gorden was shot out of a cannon at the beginning of the SCCT feature, as he blasted under Tanner Holmes and Dominic Scelzi to grab the lead by the time one lap had been completed. Sanders moved into second not long after and began to pace Gorden as lapped traffic came into play. A multiple groove surface was given to drivers in the main event and made for outstanding competition all throughout the field. Gorden did a great job out front fending off Sanders, until traffic bunched up the leaders around the halfway point. Fresno's Dominic Scelzi also moved in and joined the party, making it a ferocious three-car battle up front. With 21 laps complete Sanders finally made the move to charge out front, as Gorden and Scelzi then fought for the runner up position. Scelzi had the opening to grab the spot but hopped over the right rear of lapped car Dylan Bloomfield in turn two, which put a tough end to his race. Sanders led the remainder to bring home his 14th career Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour win. Gorden crossed the stripe in second, followed by Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Cole Macedo, who started from position number 13. Tanner Holmes and DJ Netto completed the top five. Netto put on a tremendous show in the main event, following a trip to the work area during the pace laps, which took away his original starting spot, which was the pole. The Hanford driver came from dead last and ran as high as fourth at one point. Finishing sixth through 10th in the feature were Kaleb Montgomery, Andy Forsberg, Braden Chiaramonte, Brooklyn Holland and Shane Hopkins. The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour returns to action this coming Saturday October 12th at Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare. The annual Faria Memorial marks the final tune-up prior to Trophy Cup and the penultimate round of the SCCT campaign.

  NARC NEWSLINE - OCTOBER 1, 2024

  NARC NEWSLINE - OCTOBER 1, 2024, By Jim Allen ... Imagine if the NFL played their first 12 games of the season and then took off two months before another game was played? Or just when the baseball pennant races heated up in July, the MLB didn't play another game until October? Well, welcome to the NARC 410 Sprint Car season! The last time we played in the dirt was July 27th at Santa Maria Speedway, a race won by Chase Johnson and the top three in the NARC championship standings somehow managed to crash out or break in three separate incidents. Unpredictable as a WWE match. At that point on the calendar, 18 races were in the books and the excitement and momentum was at a fevered pitch. We had a tight points chase, 12 different winners, four rookie drivers in the top 15, and open wheel competition that has been off the charts. In fact, we still have those things, we just had to fast forward 70-days for the High Limit and World of Outlaws shows to come through. Along those lines, California continues to be a powerhouse and hotbed of creating top national sprint car talent. Of the 15 combined High Limit and Outlaw shows on the West Coast, eight were claimed by California drivers (Michael Kofoid - 3, Carson Macedo - 2, Rico Abreu - 2, Corey Day - 1). Fresno car owner Dennis Roth scored five wins between the two series with Kofoid and Aussie James McFadden. Honorable west coast mention goes to Trey Starks, who scored not one, but two HL feature victories (Grays Harbor & Skagit) helping to prove my point that he is one of the most underrated drivers in the country. Justin Sanders, Shane Golobic, Cole Macedo, and DJ Netto fared the best among the NARC locals with 17 top five finishes combined. Sanders and Golobic both scored a pair of runner-up finishes. Tim Kaeding even nailed down an impressive runner-up finish at Merced Speedway. CHASE JOHNSON: While all that was going on, we have been talking and thinking and praying about Chase Johnson a lot lately. Who would have thought his scenario was even possible? Chase's crash at the High Limit Gold Cup at Silver Dollar Speedway didn't appear to be any worse than others we have witnessed, but the physical damage was painful to read. Chase broke his back in several spots which required a nine-hour surgery. Throw in additional setbacks like a rough bout of pneumonia, a collapsed lung, and a finicky feeding tube and you have a life-changing scenario. The 28-year-old driver, who always possesses a positive outlook and a million-dollar smile, is a fighter and one of the toughest guys we know. After five long weeks in the ICU at UC Davis in Sacramento, Chase had stabilized enough to be airlifted to the Shepard Center in Georgia. It is a highly-renown facility that specializes in spinal cord rehabilitation injuries. We will continue to monitor social media posts from wife Haley Johnson and the Johnson family during this process. On another note: The good news is Chase has medical insurance. The bad news is he has medical insurance. They say that the best insurance to have .., is insurance you never have to use because it seldom pays or covers the enormity of the expenses or allows coverage into premium world-class rehabilitation facilities. However, due to the amazing outpouring of support by fans, friends, and family of Chase, the Shepard Center became a reality and the best option for recovery. It's a super expensive ordeal and he will be there for at least 11 weeks. Please keep those positive vibes, thoughts, and prayers coming for the entire Johnson family, but also continue with the helmet passes, track barbecues, and t-shirt and decal sales. Or contribute to their house-payment program or make donations to the NARC Benevolent Fund and/or the GoFundMe account. His recovery requires a long-term plan of attack. He needs ongoing treatment so that one day soon, he can skip out of that facility under his own power. We know Chase is positive, strong-willed and is willing to fight with every inch of his soul. Please help him in the process. By the way, you can donate to Chase's GoFundMe account at … https://gofund.me/7ddbc02c Want to send Chase a get-well card? Here's the address: Johnny Franklin's Muffler ATTN: Chase Johnson 128 Bellam Blvd San Rafael, CA 94901 United States In hindsight, it's been a rough year on the NARC driver's roster. It closely resembles a weekly NFL injury report. Let's not forget that Ryan Robinson was forced to retire after his violent crash during the Mini Gold Cup back in March. In the good news department, Angelique Bell is almost fully recovered from her fiery June 12th crash at Southern Oregon Speedway. The burns have healed, but she still needs an occasional steroid shot in her vocal cords to get her voice back to 100%. She has managed to keep her sense of humor and upbeat attitude throughout the process. By the way, and this is a big "BY THE WAY," Angelique will be making her second season debut at Hanford on October 5th in a new family-owned race car. We plan to work in an opening ceremony interview with her. Then there was two-time NARC champion Dominic Scelzi, who was hearing church bells ringing in his head after his Super Dirt Cup crash at Skagit. Not to mention rib injuries of the type you would normally get in a fight with a Mike Tyson or Jake Paul. That took almost two months to recover from, but he is back to consuming tacos at his usual pace and frequency, so he is back to normal. Justyn Cox, who is currently third in NARC driver points, is expected to be out for the rest of the season in the Bates-Hamilton 42X with a back injury. He was hurt at a High Limit race, this one at the Douglas County Dirtrack in August. He is trying to nurse a broken and compressed T3 vertebra back into shape. Unfortunately, he will drop completely out of the top ten in points during the healing process. It's been one of those years. CALISTOGA SPEEDWAY: Yes, it's hard to believe, but movement is finally being seen, or at least scheduled, at the Napa County Fairgrounds. There is a Fairgrounds Community Clean Up Day scheduled for October 19th. Unfortunately, that is Trophy Cup weekend so racer participation may be limited. The good news is that there is a buzz at the fairgrounds with the hiring of Shelly Wright as the Fair Revitalization Director. She is a former fair manager at Lakeport and is a fan of motorsports, which is a huge plus for reopening the historic ½ mile oval. Tommy Hunt is excited at the possibilities and feels that the Louie Vermeil Classic should become a reality in 2025. NARC NOTES: Here is a strange fact for you. The October 5th race at Hanford will be the first visit by the NARC sprint cars this season. The first two shows, the Dave Helm Memorial and Peter Murphy Classic rained out. … Although we are not expecting to see Willie Croft at any of our final five NARC events, he will be at the Trophy Cup. Give the 53-year-old driver a proper send off for an entertaining and successful racing career. … Among the drivers who still are looking for a NARC 410 win in '24 include Bud Kaeding, Caeden Steele, Gauge Garcia, Dylan Bloomfield, Nick Parker, Kaleb Montgomery, and Tanner Carrick. … Kalib Henry, who has been enjoying sprint car success racing in the Midwest, will be competing at the next two NARC shows …The numerical stat lines of Justin Sanders and Cole Macedo are almost identical with 80% of the season complete. The only real difference is Sanders has five wins to Macedo's three. There is a three-point premium for winning (42-39), compared to second place. Sanders leads this horse race by only three-points. Stay tuned! … Speaking of identical, Sanders and Macedo both have seven heat race victories this season to lead all NARC drivers. The hot shoe with the most pockets $500 from Kimo's Tropical Car Wash at the year-end banquet. … The NARC top wing wickerbill rule was changed to match the High Limit and WoO rules. … … Gauge Garcia is attempting to zero in on the Williams Roofing season-long Hardcharger title, which pays $1,000 at the banquet. To date, Garcia has advanced 66 cars in the Keller Motorsports sprint car, to lead Nick Parker (57) and Cole Macedo (53). There is no prize for second place. … Special thanks to Ashley Smith, Katie Smith-Williams, Roth Motorsports, EMADCO, Southern Pacific Farms, and Hoosier for their financial support of this Saturday's Morrie Williams Memorial. … Each 20-lap feature pays $3,000 to win and $300 to start., plus a $1,000 bonus to the overall champion. No tire changes are allowed. The intermission between the two mains is about 10-minutes. Only the first race is a NARC points race. The second one is for victory lane glory. … The NARC season finale at Stockton, will feature a racing Legends autograph session. That should kick off around 4:30 p.m. … The upcoming Friday night show (October 25th) at Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway will blend asphalt and dirt track events. ARCA will be practicing and qualifying on the ½ mile paved oval in the afternoon, followed by the NARC sprint cars on the dirt oval. … Congrats to Brad Sweet on winning the inaugural High Limit Series championship - something he accomplished with four races still remaining on the HL schedule. NARC BANQUET: The NARC Championship Celebration awards banquet will be held the day after the November 2nd season Tribute to Gary Patterson season finale at the Stockton Dirt Track. The venue is the Brookside Country Club in Stockton, located about 10-minutes from the track. Brookside has hosted the event five-times and is a first-class facility. The brunch, highlight show, NARC Benevolent Fund auction, and awards gets underway at 11:30 p.m. The food is good, and video-producer extraordinaire Mike DeHoogh always puts together entertaining videos. This event is open to not only race teams, sponsors, and promoters, but to race fans as well. For more information contact Jim Allen. So, with all that, the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series will finish with a flurry of October events. It's October 5th at Kings Speedway for the Morrie Williams Memorial Twin-20's and October 12th for the Chris & Brian Faria Memorial at the Thunderbowl. A rare October doubleheader takes place on October 25-26th with a Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway October Classic and the Anthony Simone Classic back at Hanford. The season ends up with a Triple Crown event at the Tribute to Gary Patterson on November 2nd. The Stockton Dirt Track will host the NARC 410, SCCT 360, and Hunt Wingless Series season finales. Coming to you live from Auburn, CA. Get well Chase Johnson. See ya!

  Cotton Classic on deck for Sprint Car Challenge Tour at Kings Speedway Friday

  Hanford, CA…As the season begins to wind down the Sprint Car Challenge Tour is poised to head for the Kings Speedway in Hanford this Friday October 4th. The 39th annual "Cotton Classic" presented by Penny Newman Grain is the third to last race of the campaign for the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour. This Friday also begins a busy and much-anticipated month of October for Sprint Car racing in the Golden State. The Cotton Classic has been one of the long-standing and prestigious showcases in the Central Valley over the years. Apart from 2014, it has been held at the Kings County Fairgrounds venue every season since the mid-1980's. This weekend's huge double header in Hanford also includes the "Morrie Williams Memorial" on Saturday night showcasing the NARC 410 Sprint Cars. Fresh off his initial Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour victory of the season, Auburn's Andy Forsberg goes into Hanford holding a large 110-point lead in the standings. The driver of the Pacific Highway Rentals No. 92 is looking to claim the Russell Motorsports Double Down Bonus after locking up the Placerville Speedway title last month. If he brings home the SCCT title, it will mark championship 28 for Mr. Excitement and he would walk away with $20,000 for winning both. El Cajon's Braden Chiaramonte will be gunning for a strong run at Kings Speedway on Friday aboard the Tiner-Hirst Ent. No. 94TH mount. The 17-year-old continues to rank second in the SCCT points and has been impressive throughout his Garth Moore Insurance Rookie campaign. Fellow youngster Dylan Bloomfield holds down third in the standings and has been knocking on the door of SCCT victory lane at times. The pilot of the Vertullo Racing No. 83v hopes to park it on Friday at the 39th annual Cotton Classic presented by Penny Newman Grain. Placerville's Shane Hopkins has put together the finest season of his Sprint Car career and is coming off a run from 19th to 5th at Petaluma, where he earned the Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Award. Hopkins has driven the High Sierra Industries No. 21 to six top five finishes in Sprint Car Challenge Tour competition. Rounding out the top 10 in points with three races remaining are Roseville's Colby Copeland, Livermore's Travis Labat, Hanford's Michael Faccinto, Yuba City's Seth Standley, Arizona racer Corbin Rueschenberg and Roseville's Sean Becker. Following the Cotton Classic in Hanford, SCCT will remain in the Central Valley for a date with Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare next week on Saturday October 12th.

  Andy Forsberg strikes for SCCT Adobe Cup glory at Petaluma Speedway

  Petaluma, CA…Auburn's Andy Forsberg has always been fond of competing at the sticky and hooked up Petaluma Speedway. On Saturday night the SCCT point leader put together a dominating performance in the feature, racking up $5,500 by way of winning the 13th annual Adobe Cup. The now 27-time Sprint Car champion piloted the Pacific Highway Rentals/ Pit Stop USA No. 92 to his 5th career Sprint Car Challenge Tour victory, placing him into a tie with Colby Copeland for fourth all-time. "That track was certainly right up my alley in the main event," Forsberg said on the front stretch. "I know that some of the newer generation of drivers don't particularly enjoy a track like that, but it brought back a lot of memories of the old days. I took an extra lap at the end just to soak it all in. My guys gave me an amazing car there, so I really have to thank them and all the fans for coming out to support the Adobe Cup." Ocean Speedway champion Caleb Debem jumped out front at the waving of the green flag in the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour finale. Debem set the pace up front until Forsberg blasted by for the lead on lap four, which he would never relinquish. Following that Forsberg had his way with things and had to survive an excessive amount of restarts, but each time hit his marks to perfection. The recently crowned Placerville Speedway champ rocketed away to bring home the $5,000 grand prize, along with the $500 Shop Kyle Larson Bonus as a full-time car winning the feature. Dunnigan youngster Luke Hayes put together the finest night of his Sprint Car Challenge Tour career, winning the High Sierra Dash and scoring a runner up finish in the main event. Roseville's Sean Becker did a fantastic job in the 35-lapper to carve his way from 16th to third, rounding out the podium. It marked his fourth top-five effort of the year with SCCT. Jodie Robinson looked impressive for the second week in a row and brought home a fourth-place result at the checkered flag. The Roseville driver had battled her way to second at one point on a restart, only to have a slowdown negate the beautiful move. Placerville's Shane Hopkins continued his strong 2024 campaign by earning the Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Award with an exquisite run from 19th to fifth. The 30-year-old set fast time to begin the night, however, a seventh-place finish in his heat race set him farther back to start the main. Completing the top-10 in the Adobe Cup finale were John Clark, Kurt Nelson, Dustin Freitas, Bradley Terrell and Brad Bumgarner. Nelson was another driver who had a solid night, but experienced tough luck in the main event. The past Ocean titlist had raced his way into second on lap 23, only to have a lapped car spin in front of him with three circuits remaining. Nelson had nowhere to go and brought out a caution but was able to salvage a seventh-place effort at the end. The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour heads next for Hanford's Kings Speedway on Friday October 4th. The event marks the 39th running of the Cotton Classic.

  SCCT season resumes with 13th annual Adobe Cup in Petaluma Saturday

  Petaluma, CA…For the third consecutive season the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour is primed to sanction the $5,000-to-win "Adobe Cup" at Petaluma Speedway this Saturday September 21st. The evening of family fun at the 13th annual Adobe Cup marks the final season appearance for SCCT at Sonoma County's longest running entertainment venue. Following this Saturday's outing the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour will have just three events remaining in 2024. Adding to the excitement at the event will be the annual Bob McCoy Super Stock Memorial. The familiar Petaluma 3/8-mile oval routinely produces thrilling wheel-to-wheel racing, as lapped traffic can create some of the most frenetic competition of any venue on tour. Please note the facility features an earlier start time, with the Pit Meeting at 4pm and cars on track at 4:30. "We look forward to having the Sprint Car Challenge Tour as part of the 13th annual Adobe Cup this weekend," said Petaluma Promoter Rick Faeth. "Petaluma Speedway doesn't hold as many Winged Sprint Car shows nowadays, but the fans have certainly flocked to the track when we have. The Bob McCoy Memorial has also become a big stock car race, so we think this will be a superb two division program for everyone to attend." This Saturday's Adobe Cup marks the first event for the Sprint Car Challenge Tour since finishing up Speedweek in July. Fresh off wrapping up the Placerville Speedway title last week, Andy Forsberg heads into Petaluma Speedway holding a 74-point lead in the SCCT standings. The Auburn driver is searching to bring home the Russell Motorsports Inc. Double Down Bonus if he can also secure the tour championship. Forsberg, who captured SCCT Speedweek, will be in search of his first Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour victory of the season to try and fend off young Braden Chiaramonte for the title. The El Cajon driver had spent time atop the standings, until encountering issues during SCCT Speedweek. Chiaramonte claimed a SCCT triumph at Antioch in June and will look to grab another at the Adobe Cup. Oakley's Dylan Bloomfield, Roseville's Colby Copeland and Placerville's Shane Hopkins round out the top five in points going into the Adobe Cup. Hopkins has been one of the more consistent drivers throughout California when it comes to Winged 360 racing this year. More drivers looking to take on the famed Petaluma gumbo will include Livermore's Travis Labat, Roseville's Sean Becker and Jodie Robinson, Cotati's Jake Haulot, Sebastopol's Bradley Terrell, Windsor's John Clarke, Chico's Brad Bumgarner, Dunnigan's Luke Hayes and others. Tickets and Details: Adult tickets at Petaluma Speedway this Saturday September 21st cost $25 while seniors, juniors and military with ID are $22. Kids 6-11 will be $10, with five and under being admitted free. Tickets can be purchased via https://www.myracepass.com/tracks/1869/tickets/1416915 or at the gate on Saturday. Seating is general admission. The pit gate will open at noon, with the front grandstand gate opening at 4pm. The pit meeting will be held at 4pm with cars on track at 4:30. Hot laps, Sierra Foothills Wine Services qualifying, and racing will follow. The event will follow the standard SCCT muffler rule, which is either the Large Flowmaster or Large Spintech Muffler as described in the rulebook. The Petaluma Speedway is located in the southern part of the wine country at the Sonoma-Marin Fairgrounds just off Highway 101 in Petaluma, California.
