  Chase Johnson Classic converges at Merced Speedway on November 22nd

  Merced, CA…One of the more anticipated events each season in California is the November appearance by the USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midgets and Winged 360 Sprint Cars at Merced Speedway. This season the show has received an extra boost with the inaugural Chase Johnson Classic presented by American Rock and Rent taking to the Merced high banks on Saturday November 22nd. Both the USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midgets and Winged 360 Sprint Cars will hand out $5,000-to-win/ $500-to-start with additional prizes up for grabs during the night, which are noted at bottom of release. If anybody would like to contribute to the event, please contact chasejohnsonracing@yahoo.com "My goal for this race is to give back to the racing community and display my appreciation for all that they have done for me," Johnson stated. "I want to put on a fun event for the fans, teams and would like to thank everyone that has contributed to it thus far. We are still actively looking for additional sponsors and awards and would love to grow this race even more." The Chase Johnson Racing No. 24 team will have a show car on hand in the grandstands for kids/ adults to sit in and take photos. The CJR operation will be in the pit area with the race hauler. The 24-car in fact, will pace the field for both the Midget and Sprint Car features. Fans are encouraged to stop by after the races to hang out. An electric guitar performance will also kick things off in grand fashion for the National Anthem. All paid fans in the stands will receive a ticket to win a signed piece of memorabilia by all drivers racing during the night. The Chase Johnson Classic marks the final Winged 360 Sprint Car event of the season in the Golden State. Merced Speedway happens to be one of the more centrally located tracks in California, which should make for a solid field from throughout our state. The always action-packed quarter mile lies one hour and 45 minutes from Sacramento and just under an hour from Fresno. The muffler rule for Winged 360 Sprint Cars will be as follows: Flowmaster, SpinTech, Schoenfeld 14272735-78 or Extreme mufflers. Weight rule will be 1500 pounds with the driver fully suited in the car. Additional rules will fall in line with the Sprint Car Challenge Tour. An SCCT style format, minus the Dash, with a 24-car starting field will be utilized. Bixby, Oklahoma's Cannon McIntosh, who has been gaining Winged Sprint Car experience in California as of late, brings the USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midget point lead into the Golden State Swing. California native Justin Grant, Kevin Thomas Jr., Jacob Denney and Gavin Miller round out the top five in the standings. NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Larson of Elk Grove swept both the USAC National Midget and Winged 360 Sprint Car finale last November at Merced Speedway.

  Joel Myers Jr. wins the SCCT finale in Stockton/ Austin Wood wins title

  Stockton, CA…Fresh off a big score at the Trophy Cup Sebastopol's Joel Myers Jr. led all 35 laps to claim his second career SCCT victory on Friday night at the Stockton Dirt Track. Sacramento's Austin Wood also wrapped up the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour title to become the youngest champion in series history. "It feels great to win the SCCT title and become the youngest champion," Wood commented after the race. "I want to thank my family and everyone that helps us out on this 2A team. We had a consistent year and luckily, we brought home this championship." The 35-lap Shop Kyle Larson feature turned out to be a lengthy affair and saw Joel Myers Jr. charge into the lead early on. Myers had his way with things out front and was perfect on virtually every restart. Aromas driver Justin Sanders carved his way into second just past the halfway point and gave chase after the leader. With heavy lapped traffic coming into play over the waving circuits Myers had to pick his spots wisely, as Sanders hounded his rear bumper. Myers, the Nor-Cal Posse Shootout winner, made all the right moves though and grabbed the checkered for his second career SCCT triumph. Sanders crossed the stripe in second, followed by Dominic Gorden, Tim Kaeding and 14th starter Austin Wood. The battle for the final podium spot turned out to be an entertaining contest over the final 10 laps. Completing the top-10 were Dylan Bloomfield, Gauge Garcia, Andy Forsberg, Jake Haulot and Seth Standley. Dawson Hammes captured the Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Award with his drive from 24th to 11th. Wood ended up claiming the SCCT title by 69 points over Seth Standley. Cole Schroeder finished third, with Max Mittry fourth and Dawson Hammes snagging fifth in the standings.

  NARC CHAMPIONSHIP BATTLE CONCLUDES AT STOCKTON'S TRIBUTE TO GP

  (10/27/25 - Andrew Kunas) Stockton, CA ...A big night of racing awaits the NARC King of the West sprint car series, as the 2025 season concludes with the annual Tribute to Gary Patterson and a championship will be won Saturday night (November 1st) at the Stockton Dirt Track. Just 12 points separate a pair of former NARC champions at the top of the standings, with each man in pursuit of his second title. Hanford's D.J. Netto, the 2019 titlist, is ahead of Oroville's Sean Becker, who won his championship 20 years ago, going into what will be a hotly contested season finale. Netto has won three times this season and that includes the season opener at the Stockton Dirt Track in March when Netto won the Salute to Leroy Van Connett. He also won the last NARC event, held October 11th at Antioch Speedway. Netto and the Netto Ag No. 88n team will look for another strong performance at a track he has been successful at to wrap up a second NARC championship. Becker meanwhile is winless this season, but he has been competitive all season aboard the Don Bjork No. 7b and the "Shark" has led laps in multiple main events this year. If Becker wants to win his second championship though, he will likely need to get that first win on the season in the finale and pair that with a significantly subpar performance by Netto. With his three wins on the season, Netto owns the tiebreaker if the two drivers were to finish with identical point tallies. If Becker were to gain a point by setting fast time in qualifying and then win Saturday's Patterson Tribute, Netto would need to finish 10th place or better in the main event to clinch the title. Incidentally, neither Netto or Becker has won the race that honors the legendary Gary Patterson, at least in 410 sprint car competition, and both would love to add their name to the list of winners of the event to cap off the season. One of the all-time greats out of California, Patterson - or the "Preacher" as he was nicknamed - won races all over the West Coast and across the country, racing as a true outlaw for most of his career. Though he lost his life in a 1983 racing accident at Calistoga Speedway, Patterson's accomplishments behind the wheel of a sprint car landed him in the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame in 1998. The Tribute to Gary Patterson was first run in 1984, won by future Hall of Famer Chuck Gurney. The race had been held annually in Calistoga before moving to Stockton in recent years. The list of race winners is full of big names. Former "King of California" Steve Kent and Hall of Famer Brent Kaeding lead everyone with four wins each. Another Hall of Famer and NARC great Tim Green is a three-time winner of the event alongside Rico Abreau and Justin Sanders. Sanders won last year's Patterson Tribute to win the 2024 NARC championship in walk-off fashion after an intense points battle with Cole Macedo. Other Hall of Famers who have won the Patterson Tribute include Jimmy Sills (twice), Jeff Swindell and Paul McMahan. WHO ELSE TO WATCH Campbell's Bud Kaeding, another former NARC champion, is surprisingly one of the big names who has not won a Patterson main event, and this Saturday he will look to join his father Brent and brother Tim as a winner of the prestigious event. Kaeding, winner of the Johnny Key Classic at Ocean Speedway in August, sits third in the points going into the finale. Aromas's Justin Sanders, last year's "King of the West" who leads everyone with seven NARC victories this year aboard the Mittry Motorsports No. 2x, will look to cap off his season a win that would tie him with Brent Kaeding and Steve Kent for most Patterson wins. Fremont's Shane Golobic is still looking for his first NARC win this season but is twice a winner of the Patterson and would like to win his third on Saturday. This year's Dave Bradway Jr Memorial winner Dominic Gorden will be in attendance and is looking for a third career NARC win to cap off his season. Fresno's Mariah Ede is expected to race on Saturday and will wrap up NARC Rookie of the Year honors. Former NARC champion Dominic Scelzi of Fresno is expected, along with Templeton's Kaleb Montgomery, Lemoore's Gauge Garcia, Redding's Max Mittry, Windsor's John Clark, Gilroy's Jarrett Soares, and Benecia's Billy Aton. FAN INFO The Stockton Dirt Track is located at the San Joaquin County Fairgrounds at 1658 S Airport Way in Stockton. Saturday's event will see front gates open at 4:00 p.m. with opening ceremonies scheduled for 6:00p.m. with racing to follow. The NorCal Dwarf Cars and the BCRA/WMR midgets are also racing that night. Tickets are $30 for adults, $25 for juniors ages 12-17, $25 for seniors 65 and older, $25 for military, and kids 11 and under are in for $10. Saturday, from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., there will be a legends autograph session in the grandstands and fans can meet some of the greats of sprint car racing from around the region. There is a Friday night show also as part of this year's Tribute to Gary Patterson, with the 360 Sprint Car Challenge Tour in action, giving two nights of sprint car action for those arriving in Stockton a day early. Sunday will see the annual NARC season ending banquet at the Brookside Country Club, honoring the season champion and other top performers during the 2025 season, and other special awards will be presented as well. The Northern Auto Racing Club is the premier 410 winged sprint car series in the western United States. Since 1960, the traveling organization has thrilled fans at dirt tracks up and down the West Coast and crowned a "King of the West" champion.

The Shop Kyle Larson SCCT main event will hand out $3,000-to-win/ $400-to-start during the Halloween night spectacular. It marks the first event at the Stockton Dirt Track for the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour since last season. Sacramento youngster Austin Wood brings the point lead into the Halloween finale, as he searches to become the youngest champion in SCCT history. The 15-year-old has been an exceptional qualifier this year and hopes to finish off the title in style with a win at the Stockton Dirt Track.

  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. Tickets and Details: Adult Grandstand tickets for the Faria Memorial/ Trophy Cup Tune-Up at Thunderbowl Raceway this Saturday October 4 cost $35, while Bleacher tickets are $30.

  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.
