- Tim Kaeding returns to Thunderbowl Raceway victory lane after 10 years
Tulare, CA…After starting on the pole San Jose's Tim Kaeding checked out from the field to earn his second career Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour triumph on Saturday night at Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare. Kaeding, who is the all-time leader in Winged Sprint Car wins at the track, amazingly won for the first time in Tulare since a World of Outlaws score in 2015. His victory at the Chris & Brian Faria Memorial came aboard the famed Williams Motorsports/ Emadco Disposal 0 mount. "It feels great to get back up here in victory lane at Thunderbowl Raceway," Kaeding commented. "I can't thank everyone on this 0 team enough for their support. It's been a long time since I have felt like I've been in contention at the Trophy Cup. After tonight though I feel like we have a legitimate shot at it. We are ready to get going in a couple weeks." The 30-lap Shop Kyle Larson main event started out with a red flag involving Kyle Rasmussen, who got upside down on the back stretch. He luckily emerged okay but was done for the night. When going back green again things would then go all the way throughout the conclusion. Kaeding worked lapped traffic to perfection and was never seriously challenged during the remainder of the race. He grabbed the Ed Entz pink checkered flag well ahead the rest of the field to claim the Trophy Cup Tune-Up. Redding's Max Mittry, the SCCT Speedweek champ, crossed the stripe in second to match a career best effort with SCCT, followed Oakley's Dylan Bloomfield, Fresno's Caeden Steele and Hanford's DJ Netto in the top five. Completing the top 10 were Jake Andreotti, point leader Austin Wood, Jace Park, Tanner Holmes and Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Award winner Dominic Scelzi. A total of 35 cars competed at the penultimate round of the SCCT season. Fresno's Caeden Steele began the evening by earning the Sierra Foothills Wine Services Fast Time Award by clocking a lap of 13.844 around the one third mile clay oval. The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour will now get set to finish off the 2025 season at the Stockton Dirt Track on Friday October 31st at the Stockton Dirt Track.

- Thunderbowl Raceway hosts penultimate SCCT event this Saturday
Tulare, CA…The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour is set to make its annual October trip to the Central Valley for this Saturday's "Chris & Brian Faria Memorial" at Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare. It marks the penultimate show of the SCCT campaign and is the final opportunity for drivers to get laps at the track prior to Trophy Cup 31 on October 16th-18th. Purse info and more on the lucrative event can be found via www.tularetrophycup.com The Faria Memorial this Saturday October 4th also features the NARC 410 Sprint Cars and has long been a cornerstone on the Stone Chevrolet Buick GMC Thunderbowl Raceway schedule over the years. 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 both SCCT and NARC should make for a great night of racing. We hope everyone will come out on October 4th and then return for the Trophy Cup in a couple weeks." With two events remaining in the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour season, it continues to be Austin Wood sitting atop the standings. The 15-year-old from Sacramento hung tough to record an eight-place finish during the most recent race in Petaluma and looks for another consistent outing at Thunderbowl Raceway this weekend. Wood ran eighth at Tulare during a local event in May. Yuba City's Seth Standley finished right behind Wood in the main event at Petaluma Speedway and goes into Tulare 47-markers back of the lead. Standley will be searching for a strong night at the Thunderbowl to close the gap. Rounding out the top five going into the penultimate round of the campaign are Bozeman, Montana's Cole Schroeder, Redding's Max Mittry and Marysville's Dawson Hammes. Comprising the remainder of the top 10 are Brentwood's Adrianna Demartini, Santa Rosa's Tyler Cato, Elk Grove's Bubba Decaires, Marysville's Carson Hammes and El Cajon's Braden Chiaramonte. The SCCT stop at Thunderbowl Raceway last year was captured by Lincoln's Tanner Carrick over Central Valley racer Caeden Steele and San Jose's Tim Kaeding.

- NARC BEGINS HOME STRETCH WITH CHRIS & BRIAN FARIA MEMORIAL AT TULARE
(9/30/25 - Andrew Kunas) Tulare, CA ... The closing stretch of the 2025 NARC King of the West sprint car season is upon us. The first of four races in five weeks is this Saturday as the NARC teams tackle the famous Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare for the Chris & Brian Faria Memorial. This action-packed racing card will also feature the Sprint Car Challenge Tour 360's. The race is one of the cornerstone events at the popular 1/3-mile clay oval. 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 for this race. The 2025 race was originally scheduled for April 26th, but Mother Nature interfered and forced its postponement. NARC and Thunderbowl Raceway officials agreed to reschedule the event for October 4th to start a busy stretch to finish NARC's season. 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 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 event, ironically postponed by weather to a later date also, was won by Cole Macedo aboard the Tarlton Motorsports No. 21. WHO TO WATCH Speaking of NARC champions, former series champ D.J. Netto, who lives just down the road from Thunderbowl Raceway in Hanford, holds a slim 14-point lead over another former champion in Sean Becker of Oroville. Netto has two NARC wins to his credit this season, but hasn't won since May. Netto, however, has seen success in Tulare over the years, including winning the 2015 edition of the Faria. Netto hopes his past success at Thunderbowl Raceway will continue as he seeks his second NARC championship. After winning six NARC races during the summer with Australian ace James McFadden in cockpit, the Tarlton Motorsports team will welcome back Oregon's Tanner Holmes, who piloted the car back in the spring. Holmes was victorious in NARC competition with the Tarlton team in May when he took the first of the Twin 20's at the Morrie Williams Memorial in Tulare. After piloting his family's car during the summer, Holmes will rejoin the Tarlton's and is hoping for a repeat of May this Saturday. Between Holmes and McFadden, the seven NARC wins by the Tarlton Motorsports No. 21 team are tied for the most this season with the Mittry Motorsports No. 2x, all of theirs with Justin Sanders behind the wheel. The second of the Twin 20's in May was won by Caeden Steele, and it was the young Fresno-area driver's first NARC win. Steele is another driver hoping that past history will repeat itself on Saturday. Sean Becker, despite running second in points, is winless this season, but has been competitive all season and is coming off a podium run at the last NARC race at Placerville Speedway on September 6th. Another driver expected this Saturday include Campbell's Bud Kaeding, a winner in August at the Johnny Key Classic at Ocean Speedway. Kaeding enters the night third in the points, just 23 tallies back of Netto with four races remaining. Also expected this Saturday are Dominic Scelzi of Fresno, Dominic Gorden of Clovis, Mariah Ede of Fresno, Gauge Garcia of Lemoore, Shane Golobic of Fremont, Billy Aton of Benicia, John Clark of Windsor, Kaleb Montgomery of Templeton, Tanner Carrick of Lincoln, Landon Brooks of Rio Oso, Oakley's Dylan Bloomfield and Cannon McIntosh from Bixby, OK. Arlington. Washington's Jesse Schlotfeldt will be making the journey from the Pacific Northwest also to join NARC for its remaining races. Schlotfeldt won his first career NARC event in June at Cottage Grove Speedway. FAN INFO It will be ALL sprint cars for the fans on Saturday as NARC will be joined by the 360 Sprint Car Challenge Tour. Tickets will be available at the front gate. Grandstand tickets are $35, and $33 for seniors. Bleacher seats are $30 for adults, $28 for seniors and $15 for kids 12 and under. Pit passes are $45. Front gates open at 4:00 p.m. Hot laps are scheduled for 5:45 with qualifying at 6:00 and racing beginning at 7:00 p.m. Thunderbowl Raceway is located along K Street at the Tulare County Fairgrounds.

- Andy Forsberg surges to another Adobe Cup win at Petaluma Speedway
Petaluma, CA…Andy Forsberg got by Justyn Cox in lapped traffic and went to grab his second consecutive Adobe Cup triumph with the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour on Saturday at Petaluma Speedway. The Auburn veteran piloted the familiar Pacific Highway Rentals No. 92 Sprinter to his eighth career SCCT victory, which ranks fourth on the all-time win list. "The track was hooked up tonight and that is right up my alley as everybody knows," Forsberg said after his third Sprint Car Challenge Tour win of the season. "I grew up racing on tracks like this, so I think it definitely gives me an advantage. Thank you to the entire PHR 92 team for doing a great job and giving me a rocket ship in the feature." The 35-lap Shop Kyle Larson main event got off to a ragged start when Tyler Cato went upside down on the front stretch. He emerged okay but was done for the night. When the Scott Erwin green flag waved for a second time it was outside front row starter Justyn Cox jumping to the early lead. Cox had a fantastic night going and held command over Sean Becker and Andy Forsberg during the early stages. Once traffic came into play it became a high-speed chess match between the top trio as they kept fans on the edge of their seats. With 10 laps complete Forsberg carved his way past Becker and then set his sights on the leader. Cox was working traffic to perfection up till that point, but got caught behind a car on lap 18 and that's all Forsberg needed to slice his way by to assume the point. At the same time Becker slipped under Cox to claim the runner up spot. Forsberg ultimately withstood a few more slowdowns and went on to accept the checkered flag over Cox, who got back by Becker on lap 25. The Clarksburg native had been one of the hottest drivers at Placerville Speedway to end the season and parlayed that into a strong night at Petaluma, where he qualified second, ran second in his heat race, the dash and the main event. Becker, who began the evening by setting the Sierra Foothills Wine Services Fast Time Award, rounded out the podium, with High Sierra Industries Dash winner Brad Bumgarner and Livermore's Travis Labat rounding out the top five. Completing the top 10 in the feature were Pit Stop USA Hard Charger John Clark, Gilroy's Kurt Nelson, point leader Austin Wood of Sacramento, Yuba City's Seth Standley and Marysville's Carson Hammes. The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour will head next for Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare on Saturday October 4th. The Chris & Brian Faria Memorial acts as the official Trophy Cup Tune-Up race.

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 3:45pm and cars on track around 4. "We look forward to having the Sprint Car Challenge Tour as part of the 14th 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, and the Midget Super Series has been successful this season, so we think this will be a superb program for everyone to attend." This Saturday's 14th annual Adobe Cup marks the first event for the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour since finishing WST Speedweek in July. Sacramento's Austin Wood goes into Petaluma sitting atop the standings, as he looks to become the youngest SCCT champion in its history. Wood hopes to secure his first win of the season at the Adobe Cup. Yuba City's Seth Standley has moved to second in the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour standings following Speedweek. Standley finds himself 46 points back of Wood and will be gunning for a solid night at the Adobe Cup to help close the gap. Cole Schroeder has also been a common sight this year and has positioned himself third in the points with three shows remaining. The Bozeman, Montana driver stands 50 markers out of the top spot heading into the $5,000-to-win Adobe Cup. Western Sprint Tour Speedweek champion Max Mittry of Redding and Marysville's Dawson Hammes complete the top five in the Sprint Car Challenge Tour standings with three rounds left. The remainder of the top 10 in SCCT points is filled out by Santa Rosa's Tyler Cato, Brentwood's Adrianna Demartini, Elk Grove's Bubba Decaires, Marysville's Carson Hammes and El Cajon's Braden Chiaramonte. Multi-time Adobe Cup winner Andy Forsberg will be one of the favorites in the field on Saturday. The two-time SCCT champ ran second to first time Sprint Car Challenge Tour winner Chance Grasty during the visit in June.

- SCCT finale at Stockton Dirt Track shifts to Friday October 31st
Stockton, CA…Officials with the Stockton Dirt Track have announced a date change for the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour season finale. Originally scheduled for November 8th, the event will now take place on Friday October 31st, creating a double header on Halloween weekend at the San Joaquin County Fairgrounds. The SCCT 360s will crown a champion during the show, while NARC 410 will do the same one night later on November 1st. The overall championship weekend pays tribute as always to the late great Gary Patterson. 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 13th season in a row that we've paid honor to Patterson in Stockton. The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour will contest a pair of events before the finale, with Petaluma Speedway's 14th annual Adobe Cup up next on Saturday September 20th.

"Placerville Speedway has always been our home track, and I am thrilled that Scott Russell and Kami Arnold were willing to host the Carnett Clash once again," said Forryst Carnett, son of the late Bryan Carnett.

- Dominic Scelzi wins SCCT Speedweek finale/ Max Mittry edges Kinzer Cox for title
Elma, Washington…Fresno's Dominic Scelzi charged from the ninth starting spot to claim victory during the SCCT Western Sprint Tour Speedweek finale on Sunday night at Grays Harbor Raceway in Elma, Washington. When all was said and done after eight races in 10 days, Redding's Max Mittry topped Oregon racer Kinzer Cox by just two points to win the $4,000 Speedweek championship. Mittry put together a consistent week of racing with top 10 finishes in all but two events, earning the biggest moment of his Sprint Car career. "This is really a special feeling to win the SCCT Western Sprint Tour Speedweek title," Mittry commented after the race. "It was a lot of fun racing with Kinzer Cox all week and for it to come down to just a couple points was pretty exciting. I want to thank everybody that helps on this car." The 30-lap Speedweek finale began with Mittry jumping out front at the waving of the green flag. Fans were treated to some intriguing high-speed action at the Grays Harbor Raceway on this night. El Paso, Texas driver Aydan Saunders paced Mittry over the early stages before closing in, making it a battle for the top spot. Both drivers pulled away from the field and raced closely together for numerous laps, before Saunders took command on lap 20. Dominic Scelzi was also on the move however and showed his muscle taking over third on lap 15. The top three then bunched up in thrilling fashion on lap 20 and saw Scelzi scoot to second with 21 circuits complete. One lap later Scelzi rocketed to the lead and pulled away from the pack to record his 12th career Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour victory. It marked his second triumph of SCCT Speedweek, after also winning on Tuesday at Coos Bay Speedway. The battle for the Speedweek title came right down to the closing laps with Mittry finishing second and Cox coming home in third during the main event. Both drivers must be commended for putting on a fantastic championship fight. The two came into the final Shop Kyle Larson A-main tied for the point lead and both did an exceptional job in the 30-lapper. Skagit 360 Nationals winner Trey Starks earned the Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Award by driving his way from 14th to fourth with Saunders completing the top five. Rounding out the top 10 were Jesse Schlotfeldt, Seth Standley, Tyler Thompson, Austin Wood and Kelly Miller. A total of 22 cars were on hand to finish off SCCT Western Sprint Tour Speedweek.

- Dominic Scelzi claims SCCT Speedweek Round 4 at Coos Bay Speedway
Coos Bay, Oregon…Fresno's Dominic Scelzi made the move past Monday winner Jesse Schlotfeldt with seven laps remaining to snag his 11th career Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour triumph on Tuesday at Coos Bay Speedway. The driver of the Scelzi Ent./ Red Rose Transportation No. 41 mount had charged from 13th to third during the previous night's feature in Roseburg. His win on Round 4 of SCCT WST Speedweek marked a career first at Coos Bay Speedway. "Jesse Schlotfeldt set a really fast pace early in the main event," Scelzi said. "On that last restart I stayed within striking distance and just tried to put my car in the right places. It got tricky in traffic a few times, but fortunately we were able to get by and score the win. I need to thank my entire team and my whole family for their support." High Sierra Industries Dash winner Schlotfeldt jumped out to the lead at the waving of the green flag in the 35-lap Shop Kyle Larson main event. Just like the previous night he moved through traffic like a magician, placing several cars between himself and the rest of the field. The red lights then flashed on for 10th running Austin Wood on lap eight, who got upside down in the first corner. He emerged okay and returned to the race after a visit to the work area. When going back green, Scelzi didn't let the leader get away and when lapped traffic came into play again, business began to pick up. Schlotfeldt and Scelzi proceeded to put on a show for the fans, weaving in and out of the slower cars. Both drivers searched around throughout contest and with 28 laps complete it was Scelzi who blasted to the inside to take over the point. Schlotfeldt remained composed though and took a couple more looks back at the leader, but Scelzi was too strong and drove away to accept the checkered flag. Schlotfeldt capped another stout night in second, while El Cajon's Braden Chiaramonte closed in on him during the final lap, eventually crossing the line in third. By way of his third-place finish, Chiaramonte is the new point leader of SCCT Western Sprint Tour Speedweek going into tomorrow. Bozeman, Montana's Cole Schroeder put together a strong outing to come home fourth, with Yuba City's Seth Standley rounding out the top five. It was a nice rebound at the track for Standley, who had a great run going last year, only to suffer bad luck racing through traffic. Completing the top 10 were Bubba Decaires, Kelly Miller, Kai Dixon, Levi Klatt and Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Award winner Jett Barnes. A total of 30 cars competed at Coos Bay Speedway on Tuesday. Chiaramonte began the evening by earning the Sierra Foothills Wine Services Fast Time with a lap of 12.043.

- Dominic Scelzi claims SCCT Speedweek Round 4 at Coos Bay Speedway
Fresno's Dominic Scelzi made the move past Monday winner Jesse Schlotfeldt with seven laps remaining to snag his 11th career Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour triumph on Tuesday at Coos Bay Speedway.
- Jesse Schlotfeldt dominates Speedweek Round 3 at The Douglas County Dirt Track
Roseburg, Oregon…Arlington, Washington's Jesse Schlotfeldt turned in a dominating performance on night three of SCCT WST Speedweek at The Douglas County Dirt Track, grabbing his first career Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour victory. The driver of the Grinders Automotive & Marine/ Shark Racing Engines No. 21s started from the outside of the front row and never looked back in the 35-lap Shop Kyle Larson main event. "That main event could not have gone better for us," Schlotfeldt commented after the race. "This car was phenomenal, and I could put it anywhere on the track. I tried to be as wise as possible through traffic and luckily, we got through it pretty well. I want to thank everybody that supports us and makes this possible." The initial start saw a red flag occur for Kelly Miller, who flipped onto his side in between turns one and two. He emerged okay but was done for the night. On the next attempt Schlotfeldt shot out front and quickly distanced himself from the rest of the pack. Schlotfeldt placed five lapped cars between himself and the rest of the field multiple times during the contest. He sat out front by a wide margin for much of it and although Burlington, Washington's Levi Hillier did cut the gap down, there was nothing stopping Schlotfeldt on this night. He went on to take the checkered flag for his sixth overall win of the season and initial SCCT score. Hillier looked impressive in the feature as well, making multiple strong moves to record a runner up finish in his Sprint Car Challenge Tour debut. Fresno's Dominic Scelzi rebounded nicely in the feature, carving his way from 13th to third by the finish. The two-time NARC champ was fun to watch moving through the pack. Redding's Max Mittry put together a solid night, winning the High Sierra Industries Dash, before running second for more than half the feature. He eventually crossed the stripe in fourth, followed by Cottage Grove, Oregon's Kinzer Cox. Completing the top 10 were Modesto's Tony Gomes, El Cajon's Braden Chiaramonte, Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Award winner Cole Schroeder from Bozeman, Montana who drove from 20th to eighth, Yuba City's Seth Standley and 19th starter Tyler Thompson's from Harrisburg, Oregon. A total of 29 cars competed on round three of Speedweek. Jesse Schlotfeldt began the evening by earning the Sierra Foothills Wine Services Fast Time Award with a lap of 12.602, which was good enough to set a new all-time 360 track record at The Douglas County Dirt Track. SCCT Western Sprint Tour Speedweek continues Tuesday night at the Coos Bay Speedway in Coos Bay, Oregon. Kinzer Cox goes into the event leading Braden Chiaramonte by five points at the top of the standings. Austin Wood has also taken over the top spot in the season long championship points going into Tuesday.

- Chance Grasty flashes to victory at SCCT Speedweek stop in Placerville
Placerville, CA…Chance Grasty withstood the challenges of Austin Wood and Andy Forsberg over the closing stages to claim his first career Placerville Speedway win, during an entertaining main event on night two of SCCT Speedweek. Grasty piloted the Friends & Family Racing/ Bushey Financial Services X1 to a $5,000 triumph at the Gold Pan Rampage. It marked his second ever Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour triumph, after claiming his initial victory at Petaluma Speedway last month. "That was so much fun tonight in the main event racing with Austin Wood and Andy Forsberg," Grasty said after the race. "I kind of messed up in the Dash but definitely made up for it in the feature. I really have to thank the entire F&F Racing team, Bushey Financial Services and all the partners on this car." Cotati's Jake Haulot captured the High Sierra Industries Dash to earn the pole for the 35-lap finale. When the green flag waved, he immediately shot out front and looked strong in the early laps. Austin Wood moved into the runner up spot on lap four, while eighth starting Grasty carved his way into third on lap number seven. Around lap 10 the duo began to go at it and with 11 circuits complete, Grasty slipped to his inside to assume second. With lapped traffic in play Grasty closed in on Haulot and quickly made it a race for the top spot. On lap 14 Haulot and Grasty proceeded to split a lapped car in thrilling fashion, which saw Grasty lead the 15th circuit. Wood then charged to the inside of Haulot to take over second on lap 20, prior to a caution shortly after. On the restart Auburn's Andy Forsberg moved his way into third and it set up an exhilarating 15-lap shootout to the end. Grasty, Wood and Forsberg fought tooth and nail up front with fans on the edge of their seats. A multi-groove surface allowed for some exceptional racing and in the end, Grasty was able to withstand the challenges to accept the Darin Stahl checkered flag. Wood finished the race in a close second with Forsberg rounding out the podium. Haulot and El Cajon's Braden Chiaramonte completed the top five in the Shop Kyle Larson main event. Finishing sixth through 10th were Jake Morgan, Shane Hopkins, Kelly Miller, Max Mittry and Kinzer Cox. Hopkins must be commended on his fantastic drive after starting dead last following a trip to the work area during the warmup laps due to a flat tire. Steel Powell officially earned the Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Award going from 23rd to 15th in the feature. A total of 28 cars competed on night two of SCCT Western Sprint Tour Speedweek. Austin Wood earned the Sierra Foothills Wine Services Fast Time Award for the second straight night with a lap of 10.702.

- Andy Forsberg becomes first 3-time winner of the Tyler Wolf Memorial to open Speedweek
Chico, CA…Reigning SCCT Speedweek champion Andy Forsberg endured a wild 35-lap feature in front of a large and vocal crowd on Friday night, becoming the first three-time winner of the Tyler Wolf Memorial at Silver Dollar Speedway. The victory marked Forsberg's seventh career Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour triumph and came aboard his familiar Pacific Highway Rentals/ Oroville Tax No. 92 mount. It was also the Auburn veteran's first win at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico since 2021. "Racing on these types of tracks isn't exactly my cup of a tea, but I just focused on being smooth, hitting my marks and hoped the guys in front of me wore out their tires," Forsberg said afterwards. "I can't say enough for about my team for working their tails off and giving me a great car. Thank you to all the fans for packing this place tonight and we hope to see you back at the Gold Cup next month." Sacramento youngster Austin Wood was the story for much of the night after setting the Sierra Foothills Wine Services Fast Time, before claiming the Tiner-Hirst Ent. Heat Race and the High Sierra Industries Dash. Wood jumped out front at the waving of the green flag and distanced himself from the rest of the field. After about 15-laps however, track conditions began to change as rubber came down, and made tire wear a prevalent factor in the outcome. Drivers continued to race hard throughout the field however and kept fans on the edge of their seats. Modesto's Tony Gomes moved into the second spot and began to reel in the leader after several circuts. Following a caution with nine laps to go the ensuing restart brough drama as Gomes grabbed the lead by slicing the inside of Wood, who slowed that same lap as his right rear tire went down. Wood's bid at a clean sweep ended in heartbreak with him driving back to the pit area. With Gomes up front now it brought Auburn's Andy Forsberg into the second spot and Northwest drver Kinzer Cox in third. As more tire issues continued for several cars the final caution of the feature waved with six circuits remaining. During the last restart Forsberg stayed tucked to Gomes' tail tank and then shot to his inside, making it a side-by-side battle for the top spot. Coming to the line to click off lap 32 it was Forsberg now up front. Seconds after that Gomes slowed with a flat right rear tire, as did a few other drivers. With Forsberg up front he had Cox right there with him down to the wire. As the leaders rounded turn four the final time, another car lost the right rear tire just ahead of their path. Both the front runners did a great job to take evasive action, moving down and crossing the stripe with Forsberg claiming the win just ahead of Cox. Cox, hailing from Cottage Grove, Oregon was making just his fourth career Silver Dollar Speedway start and did an exceptional job to record a stellar runner up finish. He will be a certain favorite over the remainder of Speedweek. Sacramento's DJ Freitas also did an impressive job saving his tires and weaving through traffic to claim his first career Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour podium in third. Freitas won the B-main and carved his way from 20th to take home the Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Award. Yuba City's Steele Powell must also be commended for an excellent drive, as he moved forward late to tally his best ever finish with the Sprint Car Challenge Tour in fourth. Braden Chiaramonte rebounded beautifully after suffering a flat tire with six laps left. The El Cajon driver went to the work area and charged all the way back to round out the top five.

- Andy Forsberg Wins the Tyler Wolf Memorial
Andy Forsberg was victorious Friday night at Silver Dollar Speedway with the Sprint Car Challenge Tour during the Tyler Wolf Memorial.
- SCCT ready to tackle Western Sprint Tour Speedweek on July 18th-27th
Chico, CA…For the second consecutive season the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour is primed for Western Sprint Tour Speedweek, which showcases eight nights of racing at seven different venues from California to Washington. Everything kicks off in a big way at Chico's Silver Dollar Speedway this Friday July 18th with the 12th annual "Tyler Wolf Memorial" race. It will be a definite highlight of Speedweek, as we honor the late racer. It also doubles as Fan Appreciation Night, with grandstand tickets costing just $5. Kids 12 and under will be free. When 20-year-old Tyler Wolf lost his life at Calistoga Speedway in 2012, it was one of the darkest days in recent memory for the California racing scene. The Redding native had captured the Silver Dollar Speedway track title one year prior and was well liked throughout the pit area. The event in his memory continues to be one of the special shows each season at Silver Dollar Speedway and is the only SCCT visit of 2025. One night later Speedweek rolls on with the $5,000-to-win/ $500-to-start "Gold Pan Rampage" at Placerville Speedway on Saturday July 19th. It marks the final Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour appearance of the season at the El Dorado County Fairgrounds quarter mile. Monday July 21st begins a trio of races in Oregon all starting at the Douglas County Dirt Track in Roseburg. Tuesday July 22nd then brings the Sprint Car Challenge Tour to Coos Bay Speedway, followed by Cottage Grove Speedway on Wednesday July 23rd. A travel day with a Fan Fest/ Kick-Off Party on Thursday sets up the SCCT debut at Skagit Speedway in Alger, Washington for the two-night "Fred Brownfield 360 Nationals" presented by Bob's Burgers & Brew, highlighted by a $26,000-to-win/ $1,000-to-start main event on Saturday July 26th. With a unique format on tap at Skagit Speedway, both nights will feature show up points only in the season-long championship race. SCCT Western Sprint Tour Speedweek all comes to a climax on Sunday July 27th at Grays Harbor Raceway in Elma, Washington. The "Hall of Fame 360 Battle Royale" marks the first series appearance at the track. The overall SCCT Western Sprint Tour Speedweek champion will take home $4,000 as part of an $8,000 total point fund. The runner up nets $2,500 while third place will claim $1,500. Each Shop Kyle Larson main event during Speedweek will hand out a minimum of $3,000-to-win/ $400-to-start the 24-car field. After winning the most recent event, 18-year-old Chance Grasty sits atop the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour standings heading into Speedweek. Sacramento's Austin Wood, Montana driver Cole Schroeder, Yuba City's Seth Standley and Marysville's Dawson Hammes complete the top five. Additional competitors looking to be a common sight during Speedweek will include reigning Garth Moore Insurance Rookie of the Year Braden Chiaramonte from El Cajon, two-time Skagit 360 Nationals winner Seth Bergman of Snohomish, Washington, Marysville's Carson Hammes, Elk Grove's Bubba Decaires, Modesto's Tony Gomes, Arlington, Washington's Jesse Schlotfeldt, Redding's Max Mittry, Cotati's Jake Haulot, Brentwood's Adriana Demartini, Visalia's Jett Barnes, Santa Rosa's Tyler Cato and others.

- Jake Andreotti claims initial Placerville Speedway Winged Sprint Car triumph on Kids Night
Placerville, CA…Jake Andreotti, Justyn Cox and Andy Forsberg electrified the Placerville Speedway crowd on Saturday during the annual John Padjen Kids Bike Night event. When all was said and done it was Andreotti standing tall in victory lane to earn his first career Winged 360 win at the track. Fellow victors on John Padjen Kids Bike Night presented by the Pizza Factory were Anthony Slaney with the Kings Meats Ltd. Late Models, Nick Baldwin with the Red Hawk Resort + Casino Pure Stocks and Shawn Whitney with the Nor-Cal Dwarf Car Association. The 25-lap Thompson's Dealerships Winged Sprint Car finale began with Andreotti climbing out front aboard his Buchanon Auto Electric/ Lucas Oil No. 7p mount. The track surface had a little character mixed in on this night and made for some fantastic racing all evening. Point leader Andy Forsberg hounded the leader as he looked to find a way by the Castro Valley wheelman. Clarksburg's Justyn Cox started from ninth and picked his way forward in impressive fashion, moving into third on lap nine. With the contest winding down it became an exhilarating three-car battle up front for the win. The three competitors skillfully navigated every part of the quarter mile during what was regarded as the race of the season on the red clay. Forsberg was able to slice his way to the lead on lap 19, only to have Andreotti come back the following circuit. As the three drivers completed lap 21, Cox slipped to the inside of Forsberg for second and then went to work on the leader. Cox gave him everything he could handle, but Andreotti hung tough to accept the Darin Stahl checkered flag. Cox, Forsberg, Placerville's Shane Hopkins and Tony Gomes rounded out the top five. Finishing sixth through 10th were Chance Grasty, Cole Schroeder, 16th starter and Pizza Factory Hard Charger Austin Wood, Jett Barnes and Kenny Wanderstadt. In the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stock finale, it was Placerville's own Tyler Lightfoot who jumped out front at the waving of the green flag. Six-time track champion Nick Baldwin showed his muscle early on though and rocketed to the point on lap four. Baldwin would ultimately lead the remaining distance for his 37th career win at the track. By doing so, he takes over sole possession of third all-time in division history. Woodland's Scott Grunert made his return to the track and had an excellent race with Lightfoot over the waning stages. Grunert crossed the stripe in second ahead of Lightfoot, Michael Murphy and Ryan Peter. Fourth of July winner Rod Oliver blasted to the lead at the start of the Kings Meats Ltd. Late Model main event. He soon had company in the form of reigning track champion Anthony Slaney, who made his return to the track after becoming a father recently. Slaney charged to the point on lap six and never looked back to dominate the race for his sixth career Placerville Speedway win. Oliver, Matt Micheli, Ray Trimble and Matt Davis followed hm across the line. The Nor-Cal Dwarf Car Association main event was all about Lotus driver Shawn Whitney, who claimed another victory at his home track. Around the midway point he had to withstand a challenge from legendary driver Mike "Spanky" Grenert who led lap eight. Whitney got back by the following circuit, however, and pulled away from the field to score the gold. Lincoln's Dylan Shrum had an exciting feature after spinning out while running third on lap eight. He would proceed to carve his way back forward and score a solid runner up finish. Brandon Aylesworth, Corey Eaton and Dan Geil completed the top five. Placerville Speedway returns to action this coming Saturday July 19th with round two of SCCT Western Sprint Tour Speedweek. Joining the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour at the "Gold Pan Rampage" are the Mountain Democrat Mini Trucks.

- John Padjen Kids Bike Night next up for Placerville Speedway Saturday
Placerville, CA…The El Dorado County Fairgrounds based Placerville Speedway is excited to host John Padjen "Kids Bike Night" presented by the Pizza Factory this Saturday July 12th. All kids 11 and under receive free admission in the stands on Saturday. As is tradition, children in attendance are invited to race their bikes on the track following heat race competition. Those competing in the races must wear a helmet. MTFX Graphics will also be hosting hot wheels races for the kids from 4-6pm behind the turn four bleachers. If you're looking for a delicious pre-race meal, make sure to stop by the Pizza Factory of Placerville, Pleasant Valley, Pollock Pines, Cameron Park, Auburn, Colfax, Rocklin or Ione to support this Saturday's presenting sponsor. Outstanding and piping hot pizza, lasagna, freshly made salads and much more are offered at the Pizza Factory. "This is always a tremendous show for the families to come out and enjoy a night of racing at," commented track Promoter Scott Russell. "Kids Bike Night has been one of the long-standing events here and we're happy to allow those 11 and under into the races for free on Saturday. When it comes to the future of our sport the younger generation is extremely important, so we hope everyone can bring their kids and maybe even some of their friends this weekend." This Saturday is also our way to remember former track Promoter John Padjen, who passed away in December of 2021. It was Padjen's idea that brought about Kids Bike Night, which continues to be a mainstay at Placerville Speedway. "John always had Kids Bike Night at West Capital Raceway, so he decided to bring that over to Placerville and Chico when he started running both venues," said past Placerville Speedway Promoter Alan Padjen. "The bike nights have always been a hit with the families. It's great that Placerville Speedway continues that tradition and it's a perfect event to remember my dad at." In the early 1980's, John Padjen came aboard Placerville Speedway to help rescue the community icon that was beginning to struggle in the way of management efforts. Already a successful motorsports promoter in Sacramento, Dixon and Chico, Padjen moved in and helped mold the foothill race facility into the successful, competitive track it is today. Padjen established a consistent Saturday night program to improve safety and visibility for both drivers and fans. Tackling the high banked quarter mile this Saturday will be the Thompson's Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Cars, the Kings Meats Ltd. Late Models, the Red Hawk Resort + Casino Pure Stocks and the Nor-Cal Dwarf Car Association. Thanks to the El Dorado County Fair Association parking is free during the month of July, including this Saturday for John Padjen Kids Bike Night presented by Pizza Factory. Tickets and Details: Grandstand seating during John Padjen Kids Bike Night will be General Admission on Saturday July 12th, except for the reserved seats allocated to season ticket holders that are marked. Adult tickets cost $18, while seniors 62+, military and juniors 12-17 will be $16. Kids 11 and under are free. Tickets can be purchased at the gate or online via https://www.eventsprout.com/event/psr071225 The pit gate will open at noon, with the front gate opening at 4pm. Hirst Home Team Happy Hour is offered until 6pm in the grandstands featuring live music with discounted Coors Light and Coors Original at the beer booth. The pit meeting will be held at 4:30pm with cars on track at 5:15. Hot laps, ADCO Driveline qualifying and racing will follow. For those who can't make it to the track, CaliDirt.TV will provide live flag-to-flag coverage of every Placerville Speedway point race this season.
