- Esparto Facility explosion pauses Fireworks show at Placerville Speedway / RACES ARE STILL ON
Placerville, CA…Russell Motorsports Inc. has made the announcement that due to yesterday's unfortunate fireworks facility explosion in Esparto, this Friday's fireworks display following the races has been canceled. The race program, however, will still be contested with the Thompson's Winged 360 Sprint Cars, Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks and Kings Meats Ltd. Late Models taking to the track. "The company that was supplying and housing our fireworks that were to be used on Friday night, was part of yesterday's unfortunate explosion and fire in Esparto," commented Placerville Speedway Promoter Scott Russell. This devastating incident resulted not only in the complete loss of our fireworks supplier's inventory, but more importantly, the loss of lives of individuals who have long been part of bringing celebration and joy to communities across California, including ours. Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with the families, friends, and team members affected by this heartbreaking event. We understand how much our community looks forward to the Independence Day fireworks at the speedway each year. It is a tradition we cherish, and one we hoped to continue in 2025. However, out of respect for those lost and due to the unforeseen loss of available inventory, we have no choice but to cancel this year's fireworks portion of the event. As noted, the July 4th race program will continue as scheduled. We thank our fans for their understanding and continued support, and we encourage everyone to keep the families impacted by the Esparto tragedy in their hearts during this holiday. For those who would like to request a refund, please email info@eventsprout.com. The EventSprout team will be available to process refund requests.

- Thompson's Fan Appreciation Night features $5 tickets at Placerville Speedway
Placerville, CA…Throughout the years Placerville Speedway has been known for having some of the most loyal fans in Northern California. As a special thank you to our dedicated patrons, grandstand tickets will be just $5 during the annual Thompson's Fan Appreciation Night this Saturday June 21st. Divisions ready to thrill the crowd on Fan Appreciation Night include the Thompson's Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Cars, the Kings Meats Ltd. Late Models, the Red Hawk Resort + Casino Pure Stocks and Wingless BCRA Lightning Sprints. Hirst Home Team presents Coors Light/ Coors Banquet Happy Hour and Live Music prior to the races until 6pm. Make sure to also arrive with your appetite to enjoy some of the highest rated racetrack cuisine in Nor-Cal at the Speedway Café. "Thompson's Fan Appreciation Night is always an event we look forward to each season," said track Promoter Scott Russell. "With grandstand tickets just $5 we encourage everyone to bring a friend and if they can, please introduce someone new to the races on Saturday as well. The Thompson's Family of Dealerships have been long-time partners with not only the track, but it even goes back to 2001 when I first started running Sprint Cars. We can't thank them enough for their continued support." The familiar red clay was silent from the roar of race cars around the oval last week due to the annual break for the El Dorado County Fair. This Saturday, however, launches five consecutive weeks of racing as things begin to heat up at Placerville Speedway. Battles in the Berco Redwood/ Hoosier Tire/ Coors Light championship chase stand close entering the busiest stretch of the campaign. Just 19-points separate Auburn's Andy Forsberg, Suisun City's Chance Grasty and Sacramento's Austin Wood at the top of the Thompson's Winged Sprint Car standings. Forsberg has two wins, while Grasty and Wood have shown solid consistency thus far, with both knocking on the door of victory lane. Tony Gomes of Modesto dominated the last point race and sits fourth in points followed by Placerville's own Shane Hopkins. Fan Appreciation Night marks round four of the Kings Meats Ltd. Late Model season. Yuba City's Rod Oliver captured the last event and holds a slim two-point advantage over Live Oak's Matt Micheli. Placerville's Tyler Lightfoot has one win on the campaign and is only four markers back in third. The Red Hawk Resort + Casino Pure Stocks have put on some thrilling races this season and more of the same is expected Saturday. Six-time track champion Nick Baldwin of Oakley won last time out and leads Diamond Springs' Kevin Jinkerson by 17 points. Three-time victor this season Ryan Peter of Rio Linda ranks P3 in the standings but is just 20 back of Baldwin. Tyler Lightfoot and Sacramento's Jason Palmer round out the top five in points. The BCRA Lightning Sprints will also shed the wings for the first time this season at Placerville Speedway, as they get tuned up for the November running of the Hangtown 100. Tickets and Details: Grandstand seating during Thompson's Fan Appreciation Night will be General Admission on Saturday June 21st, except for the reserved seats allocated to season ticket holders that are marked. Grandstand tickets once again are just $5 and can be purchased at the gate or online via https://www.eventsprout.com/event/psr062125 The pit gate will open at noon, with the front gate opening at 4pm.

- Chance Grasty Win First Career SCCT Feature
Saturday night in Petaluma, CA, Chance Grasty went toe to toe with defending Sprint Car Challenge Tour Champion, Andy Forsberg, and was able to get the best of him and score his first career series win.
- Chance Grasty strikes late at Petaluma Speedway for first SCCT win
Petaluma, CA…Chance Grasty took advantage of lapped traffic late in the going to slip past Andy Forsberg and record his initial victory with the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour on Saturday. His triumph at Petaluma Speedway came aboard the familiar Friends & Family Racing/ Bushey Financial Services X1 mount. It marked Grasty's second career Sprint Car win, after claiming victory in Stockton earlier this season and allowed him to take over the SCCT point lead. "That one got pretty exciting once we could get some green flag laps put together," commented the 17-year-old. "I was fortunately able to get by Andy Forsberg and the lapped car with about five laps to go and just focused on hitting my marks after that. I want to thank everyone with the F&F X1 team for their support and all you fans for filling this place tonight." Reigning Elk Grove Ford SCCT champion Andy Forsberg claimed the High Sierra Industries Dash to earn the pole for the 35-lap feature. The Auburn veteran climbed out front at the waving of the green flag and held command for much of the race. Numerous cautions and slowdowns were seen throughout the first part, which created a fuel stop on lap 18 and kept racers out of lapped traffic for much of it. The final half of the race then clicked off problem free though and allowed the leaders to bunch up. Forsberg began to feel pressure from Grasty, along with Sacramento's Austin Wood who closed in on the top two late in the going. Racing through turns one and two on lap 29, Forsberg caught a lapped car at just the wrong moment, while Grasty made a beautiful move down low to get by for the top spot. As the white flag waved Forsberg closed back in, but Grasty hung strong and crossed under the checkered for his first ever Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour win. The Suisun City driver also began the evening by claiming the Sierra Foothills Wine Services Fast Time Award with a lap of 12.929, topping the 24-car field. Forsberg's strong run netted him a runner up finish, marking his third result of second or better in SCCT action. All four of his Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour starts have ended on the podium, as the 28-time California champ continues his fantastic campaign. Wood rounded out the podium to record yet another consistent finish this season and by doing so, moved to second in the series standings. Cotati's Jake Haulot and Bozeman, Montana's Cole Schroeder both put together solid outings to finish fourth and fifth respectively. Completing the top 10 at Petaluma Speedway on Saturday were Roseville's Jodie Robinson, Salinas' Caleb Debem, Dunnigan's Luke Hayes, Livermore's Travis Labat and Sebastopol's Bradley Terrell. Debem, the current Ocean Speedway point leader, earned the Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Award in the feature. The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour will now have a month off before resuming things with Western Sprint Tour Speedweek. It all gets underway with the annual Tyler Wolf Memorial at Chico's Silver Dollar Speedway on Friday July 18th.

- Petaluma Speedway welcomes SCCT for Wings Over Wine Country this Saturday
Petaluma, CA…The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour campaign rolls on with its first appearance of the season at the cool confines of Petaluma Speedway this Saturday June 14th. The show dubbed as "Wings Over Wine Country" marks the fifth event for the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour this year. It's the first of two season stops at Petaluma Speedway, with a return visit occurring for the annual Adobe Cup in September. Please note the facility features an earlier start time, with the Pit Meeting at 3:45pm and cars on track at 4pm. "We look forward to having the Sprint Car Challenge Tour here at Petaluma Speedway on Saturday," commented track Promoter Rick Faeth. "It will be our first traveling Winged Sprint Car show of the season, and I know our fans are hungry for it. Hopefully everyone can come out and join us for the night." The show at Sonoma County's longest running entertainment venue is the final SCCT race prior to Western Sprint Tour Speedweek, which gets underway on July 18th in Chico. Wings Over Wine Country this Saturday will award $3,000-to-win/ $400-to-start the Shop Kyle Larson main event. Petaluma Speedway is always a welcome stop for race fans around Northern California. The 3/8 mile clay oval routinely yields thrilling wheel-to-wheel competition, as lapped traffic can create some of the most hectic action of any venue on tour. Auburn's Andy Forsberg is the most recent winner in Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour competition, having snagged the Davy Thomas Memorial on May 30th. The two-time SCCT champion also claimed the Adobe Cup at Petaluma Speedway last September in Petaluma. "I always enjoy going to Petaluma Speedway and hope to see a full house on Saturday with the Sprint Car Challenge Tour," commented Forsberg. "We've been running well, which certainly gives me confidence going into the night. Petaluma only holds Winged Sprint Car races on a limited basis nowadays so that always makes it special to get down there." More drivers looking to take home the top prize will include Suisun City's Chance Grasty, Sacramento's Austin Wood, Yuba City's Seth Standley, Montana racer Cole Schroeder, Marysville's Dawson and Carson Hammes, Livermore's Travis Labat, Cotati's Jake Haulot, Brentwood's Adriana Demartini, Dunnigan's Luke Hayes and others.

- Andy Forsberg claims Davy Thomas Memorial with SCCT Friday
Placerville, CA…Andy Forsberg led all 35 laps to claim his sixth career Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour victory on Friday evening during the inaugural running of the Davy Thomas Memorial- Prelude to the Bradway. Forsberg's win aboard the familiar Pacific Highway Rentals No. 92 topped a stout 45 car field and marked his 75th career Winged Sprint Car triumph at Placerville Speedway. He took home over $5,000 in cash and prizes for his efforts. "It feels great to get a win in memory of Davy Thomas here tonight," Forsberg said in victory lane. "We started the night by going out last in qualifying and luckily were able to still hit a good lap. This was a great field of cars so it's awesome to be standing up here tonight with SCCT." Forsberg took the lead at the waving of the green flag in the Shop Kyle Larson feature and never looked back, despite some challenges at times from different competitors. Youngster Austin Wood took over the runner up spot around lap 15 and attempted to do something with the veteran. Sunday winner in Marysville, Justin Sanders then climbed forward as he often does and got into third with 10 laps remaining. After moving into second on lap 30 Sanders and Wood closed quickly in traffic on the leader, only to have caution bring things to a halt. Following that, Forsberg cut some clean and smooth laps to pull away and take the Ed Entz checkered flag for the big win. Sanders crossed the stripe in second ahead of Fremont's Shane Golobic who rounded out the podium. Oakley's Dylan Bloomfield put on a solid charge from 16th to fourth while Wood completed the podium. The remainder of the top 10 was filled out 19th starting Shane Hopkins, Chance Grasty, Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Tanner Holmes, Braden Chiaramonte and Seth Standley. Holmes took home over $2,000 for winning the Hard Charger Award in memory of Gene Freeman. Austin Wood began the night by claiming $2,000 as the Donna Gomez Fast Time Award winner, besting the 45 car field. Fairfield driver snagged victory in the Nor-Cal Dwarf Car Association portion of the event on Friday. He was followed by Dylan Shrum, Shawn Whitney, Brenden Shrum and Mike Reeder.

- Andy Forsberg claims Davy Thomas Memorial with SCCT Friday
Andy Forsberg led all 35 laps to claim his sixth career Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour victory on Friday evening during the inaugural running of the Davy Thomas Memorial- Prelude to the Bradway.
- DAVY THOMAS MEMORIAL LAUNCHES BIG WEEKEND AT PLACERVILLE
Placerville, CA…Friday Night Lights are coming to Placerville Speedway this week, as the Sprint Car Challenge Tour sanctions the inaugural $4,000-to-win/ $600-to-start "Davy Thomas Memorial- Prelude to the Bradway." The May 30th event is round four of the Elk Grove Ford SCCT season and launches the prestigious "Bradway Weekend" with the NARC 410 Sprint Cars invading Placerville the following night. Friday's show honors the late Davy Thomas, who we lost last year following a multi-year battle with cancer. Thomas spent time as a crew member and an official, but above all, he was a huge race fan that could be seen frequently in the campground and grandstands throughout California. After being diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer at the age of 30, he continued to be at the track with his race family as often as he could. Thomas passed away on June 30th, 2024, at age 33. The event in his memory is shaping up to be one of the highest paying in SCCT/ Civil War Series history. Several special awards are on the line thanks to numerous individuals, including the $1,750 Donna Gomez Fast Time Award and the $1,550 Gene Freeman Hard Charger Award. The B-main is a guaranteed $300-to-start for non-transfer cars, with the first non-transfer going home with $450. In place of the Dash will be a timed Posse Pole Shuffle that is $350-to-win, along with a loaded Box of Beef courtesy of Fairma Farms. Fresh off his win Sunday night, Justin Sanders sits atop the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour standings going into Placerville Friday. Sanders also happens to be the defending winner of the Bradway, after sweeping both nights last season. Suisun City's Chance Grasty has put together a consistent season thus far and finds himself ranking second in the SCCT points after three rounds. Grasty will be gunning for victory at the Davy Thomas Memorial on Friday. Redding's Max Mittry has been another driver that's been in the hunt more and more as of late. Coming off a podium effort in Marysville last weekend he heads into Placerville maintaining third in the standings. Roseville's Colby Copeland and Sacramento's Austin Wood round out the top five in the SCCT points through the first three races. Wood had a tremendous night going on Sunday in Marysville, only to have a front-end issue force a DNF. Filling out the remainder of the top 10 in the standings going into Friday are Montana racer Cole Schroeder, Yuba City's Seth Standley, Elk Grove's Bubba Decaires, Marysville's Dawson Hammes and Livermore's Travis Labat. Upwards of 40 Winged Sprint Cars are expected to take part in the Davy Thomas Memorial on Friday evening. The traveling Nor-Cal Dwarf Cars will be the companion class each night this weekend. Tickets and Details: Grandstand seating at the Davy Thomas Memorial will be General Admission on Friday May 30th, except for the reserved seats allocated to season ticket holders that are marked.

- PLACERVILLE SPEEDWAY HOSTS NARC SPRINT CARS FOR THE DAVE BRADWAY JR. MEMORIAL RACE
(5/26/25 - Andrew Kunas) Placerville, CA ... One of the most prestigious sprint car races on the West Coast is next for the NARC Racing Series, as the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series competes in the 34th running of the Dave Bradway Jr Memorial on Saturday night at Placerville Speedway. The event honors the memory of a popular young sprint car racer who lost his life at age 28 in a crash at the 1987 Super Dirt Cup at Skagit Speedway. Dave Bradway Jr was a winner of several NARC main events, his first coming at Petaluma Speedway in 1982, and he also won a track championship at the old Baylands Speedway. First run in 1991 and held every year but once since, the Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial for a long time has been considered one of NARC's signature events and a staple on the West Coast sprint car scene. As has been the case every year, extra payout - a lot of it - will be up for grabs for the racers. Everything from bonuses for winning heat races, to cash for leading specific laps, to drawing specific pills, to quick qualifying time, to bonuses for just winning the race, and much more, will all be going out on Saturday night. With bonuses, Saturday's 40-lap main event will pay at least $5,500 to win. D.J. Netto of Hanford is the NARC points leader going into Saturday's race, having won twice so far this season as he picked up wins at the Stockton Dirt Track and Antioch Speedway. The former NARC champion will be looking to win the Dave Bradway Jr Memorial for the first time aboard the Netto Ag No. 88N. Fremont's Shane Golobic, second in the points, should be one to watch aboard the Matt Wood Racing No. 17w as he has seen a lot of success at Placerville Speedway in his career and has won twice there already this season in non-NARC competition. Golobic led much of the way in last year's Bradway, but this time hopes to win it for the first time. The list of past winners of the Bradway features many of the best to ever do it, including National Sprint Car Hall of Famers Brent Kaeding, Jimmy Sills and Paul McMahan. McMahan won the inaugural Bradway in 1991, while Kaeding has four to his credit, with Bradway victories coming in 1995, 1999, 2000 and 2007. No one, however, has won more than former series champion Jonathan Allard, who has five Bradway victories on his resume, picking up checkered flags in 2001, 2003, 2005, 2009 and 2012. WHO TO WATCH The 2025 season in NARC competition for reigning series champion Justin Sanders has been nothing short of a roller coaster. Sanders, out of Aromas, has won two NARC features this season but has also experienced a number of lows across the way, including twice spinning out while racing for the lead. Sanders though has seen success at the Dave Bradway Jr Memorial, being a two-time winner of the event including last year's barn burner when he picked off a number of cars in the late laps to win it. Having a low moment the last NARC outing, Sanders hopes the roller coaster ride swings back up in the form of a third Bradway win for him aboard the Mittry Motorsports No. 2x. Lemoore's Gauge Garcia is still hunting for his first NARC 410 sprint car victory, and Placerville Speedway could be the place where that happens. Garcia led laps in last year's Dave Bradway Jr Memorial main event. Garcia and the Keller Motorsports No. 2k team hope that it happens again, only this time they stay up front and pick up a special victory. FAN INFO The NARC program will include qualifying, four 8-lap heat races, a 6-lap Trophy Dash, a 12-lap Last Chance Qualifier and a 40-lap main event. Placerville Speedway is located on the El Dorado County Fairgrounds at 100 Placerville Drive, in town just off U.S. Hwy 50. General admission is $28 for adults. Tickets are $25 for seniors 62 and older, military and kids ages 12 to 17. Kids ages 6 to 11 are in for only $10 and young children 5 and under are in for free. The fairgrounds is charging $10 for parking. There is more sprint car action on Friday night as well for fans to check out.

- SCCT heads for Mel & Marlyn Hall Memorial at Marysville Raceway Sunday
Marysville, CA…The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour is primed to embark upon a busy stretch that all gets underway this Sunday May 25th at Marysville Raceway's annual "Mel & Marlyn Hall Memorial." This Sunday's event on Memorial Day weekend marks the third race of the season for SCCT and its only appearance at Marysville Raceway this year. Racing was certainly a passion of the Hall family. They epitomized the great strengths of being at the forefront of the sport when it came to on-track racing and off-track promotions. Mel Hall believed in a united Sprint Car traveling organization and in the early 1990's was one of the founding fathers of the Civil War Series, which is fundamentally what the Sprint Car Challenge Tour continues in the Golden State. With their unmeasurable work ethic, the Halls were heavily involved in the now defunct Ernie Purcell Speedway in Grass Valley, before taking over operation of Twin Cities Speedway (now Marysville Raceway) in late 1994. Hall is credited with bringing professional Sprint Car racing to the Yuba-Sutter facility, which persists in this very day under the current management of Gage Promotions. The Hall's left their ego at the door and did the things needed for a successful series and management of Marysville Raceway. They never did this for fame and glory or pats on the back. They were simple people who had a vision and did the best they could to make it a reality. Mel passed away on May 22, 1999, and we lost Marlyn in August of 2020. Following Marysville, the SCCT 360s will contest the "Davy Thomas Memorial" just five days later in Placerville on Friday May 30th. "Wings Over Wine Country" then awaits the tour at Petaluma Speedway on Saturday June 14th, creating a stretch of three events in four weeks. The opening two rounds of the Sprint Car Challenge Tour campaign have been captured by Fremont's Shane Golobic and Fresno's Dominic Scelzi respectively. By way of a win and a runner up effort at the opener, Scelzi finds himself atop the standings going into Marysville Raceway on Sunday. The two-time NARC champion is coming off his 10th career SCCT triumph on April 19th in Merced and will be gunning for number 11 at the Hall Memorial. 2022 Mel & Marlyn Hall Memorial winner Tanner Carrick of Lincoln, Roseville's Jodie Robinson, Suisun City's Chance Grasty and Modesto's Tony Gomes fill out the top five in points heading into Sunday. Justin Sanders is the reigning winner of the Hall Memorial and hopes to rebound following a tough ending to the most recent SCCT event. The Aromas driver had charged from deep in the field, only to have contact send him upside down prior to the finish. Six-time Mel & Marlyn Hall Memorial victor Andy Forsberg will be another favorite come Sunday. The two-time Sprint Car Challenge Tour champion hopes to break a two-way tie with Colby Wiesz for the most wins in event history. Tickets and Details: Adult tickets at Marysville Raceway this Sunday May 25th cost $24; while juniors 12-15, seniors 62+ and military are $20; kids 6-11 cost $10 and those five and under will be free. Tickets can be purchased at the gate or via https://www.eventsprout.com/event/marysville-raceway-2025 The pit gate will open at 3pm, with the front grandstand gate opening at 5pm.

- FORSBERG FLASHES TO PLACERVILLE SPEEDWAY VICTORY
Placerville, CA…Andy Forsberg and Chance Grasty entertained the Placerville Speedway faithful on Saturday night, which ultimately saw the 10-time track champion come out on top to earn another victory on the famed red clay. Along with Forsberg, also scoring wins on Anrak Night at the Races were Tyler Lightfoot with the Kings Meats Ltd. Late Models, Ryan Peter with the Red Hawk Resort + Casino Pure Stocks and Hunter Kinney with the BCRA Lightning Sprints. The 25-lap Thompson's Winged 360 Sprint Car feature began with young Austin Wood leading the opening lap, before Forsberg rocketed by to take over the top spot. Track conditions proved to be spot on for the main event, as cars raced high and low on the bullring. Wood attempted to keep pace with the leader but soon had to deal with ADCO Driveline Fast Qualifier Chance Grasty following a restart with 10 circuits complete. Grasty slipped to his inside and took over second on lap 11. At one point the top three began to bunch up ever so slightly, only to see a caution flag wave to create a single file restart. When getting back underway Grasty went to work on the leader and the duo proceeded to fight back and forth with the crowd coming to its feet. Grasty officially led lap 18, but Forsberg would slice back by leading the following circuit. The Auburn veteran hung tough and went on to take the Darin Stahl checkered flag for his 74th career Sprint Car triumph at Placerville. Grasty, Tony Gomes, Justyn Cox and 16th starting Colby Copeland completed the top five. Filling out the remainder of the top 10 were Shane Hopkins, Wood, Steven Kent, Austin Torgerson and Cole Schroeder. The Kings Meats Ltd. Late Models put on an intriguing, non-stop, 20 lap main event on Saturday evening. Placerville's Tyler Lightfoot moved out front early and held the field at bay for much of the contest. Reigning track champion Anthony Slaney was certainly the show in the feature as he blasted by cars on the high scary side. He took over third on lap seven and then second a few circuits later. Slaney quickly reeled in the leader and hounded his rear until hopping the cushion and then pulling off with four laps remaining. Lightfoot then had a large advantage and brought home his sixth career Placerville Speedway Late Model victory. Matt Davis, Rod Oliver, Matt Micheli and Shawn DeForest followed him across the line. The Red Hawk Resort + Casino Pure Stocks had another thrilling conclusion to their main event on Anrak Night. Colton Arbogast and Michael Murphy led the first couple laps until Rio Linda's Ryan Peter showed his muscle and grabbed the lead on lap three. Peter had captured the previous two events and was looking to make it three in a row at Placerville Speedway. Six-time track champion Nick Baldwin began making his way through the pack, taking over third just after the halfway point. With a few laps remaining Baldwin charged into second and began to come after the leader. Just like at the Tilford Tribute in April, it was Peter and Baldwin coming down to the wire. The pair battled for the win off the final corner, which saw Peter edge him by half a car length for the three-peat. Baldwin, Kevin Jinkerson, Michael Murphy and Tyler Lightfoot completed the top five. Citrus Heights driver Hunter Kinney survived numerous restarts to claim his second straight win at Placerville with the BCRA Lightning Sprints. Greg Dennett, Dakota Albright, Matt Land and Marshall Sexton were next in line. Placerville Speedway is dark the next two weeks before resuming things with a big double header on May 30th and 31st. The Friday portion will showcase the Sprint Car Challenge Tour contesting the Davy Thomas Memorial, while Saturday's finale is the annual Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial with the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series.

- Gauge Garcia makes it four winners in the first four Ocean Sprints events of 2025
Watsonville, CA…Reigning Johnny Key Classic winner Gauge Garcia of Lemoore raced to his first Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo victory of the season on Friday night in Watsonville. Garcia was a rocket ship right from the start of the night aboard the Valley Wound Healing/ Apex Construction No. 28 mount. He set fast time in Ocean Sprints qualifying to begin the evening and then drove to victory in the Gizdich Ranch Dash. The former Sprint Car Challenge Tour Rookie of the Year jumped into the lead at the waving of the green flag in the 25-lap finale. The main event would go non-stop, and Garcia had his way with things up front, but Redding's Max Mittry did keep him honest at times. The top two pulled away from the rest of the field and ran in that formation over the duration of the contest. Garcia got crossed up on the tricky high side a couple of times, which allowed Mittry to close. Garcia fended him off however, to collect the win. Mittry, Bud Kaeding, Caleb Debem and Jake Haulot rounded out the top five. The IMCA Modified main event saw Jonathan Hagio set the pace early on, until Jim Pettit II drove by after a restart. Bobby Hogge then climbed into second and began to hound the rear of the leader. On lap nine the duo was racing nose to tail, which then saw Pettit get turned to bring out a caution. Hogge led the remaining distance to grab the win ahead of Robert Marsh, Cody Burke, Pettit who rebounded nicely, and Josh Combs. A healthy field of IMCA Sport Mods competed on Friday night with 19 total entries signing in. DJ Keldsen led the opening circuit in the feature, before Trevor Clymens went by the take the point on lap two. The Sport Mods put on an entertaining main event once again at Ocean Speedway, with cars running high and low. Right around the midway point, Danny Wagner shot to the front and held on for his second checkered flag of the season in Watsonville. Point leader Bo Crebs, Keldsen, Trevor Clymens and Steven Allee completed the top five. Logan Mitchell won his second consecutive race at his home speedway when he drove to victory in Friday's Western Midget Racing main event at Watsonville's Ocean Speedway. Anthony Bruno of San Jose charged around the outside of Teddy Bivert to take the lead at the start the 20-lap main event. Bruno, the opening night Ventura Raceway winner, accumulated a one-second advantage over the battle between Bivert and Mitchell for second. Bivert and Mitchell then tracked down Bruno and the trio ran in lockstep. Bivert rolled the middle of the track and got into the back of Bruno, sending them both for a spin on lap nine in turn one. Mitchell acquired the lead as a result and dominated the final 11 laps for his fourth-career Ocean Speedway win. Bivert used the high side to charge back to second, followed by Santa Clarita's Adam Weisberg, Bruno, and Fremont's Nathan Moore. Joshua Silva led every lap in the Four Banger finale but was a DQ in post-race tech, which handed the win to TJ Santos. The Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo will now have some time off, before resuming things on Friday June 13th. Ocean Speedway in Watsonville returns this coming Friday May 16th with the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series making its first appearance of the season. The evening of action is billed as "First Responders Night at the Races."

- Dominic Scelzi surges for 10th career SCCT win on Saturday in Merced
Merced, CA…Dominic Scelzi outdueled young Braden Chiaramonte and withstood a late charge from Dominic Gorden to snag his 10th career Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour victory on Saturday. Scelzi's $3,000 triumph at Merced Speedway made him the first repeat SCCT winner at the track. It came aboard the familiar Scelzi Ent. / Red Rose Transportation No. 41 mount. "It's great to be up here in victory lane tonight after running second at the SCCT opener in March," Scelzi said. "The Tiner-Hirst cars are always fast, and Braden Chiaramonte really made me work for it at times. Then Dominic Gorden came after me late and kept me on my toes. He's such a good driver and really could be racing anywhere. I want to thank my entire team for giving me an amazing car and my whole family for their support." The racing was intense right from the drop of the green flag in the 35-lap Shop Kyle Larson main event. Scelzi jumped out front but had Chiaramonte and Modesto's Tony Gomes not far behind. Chiaramonte and Gomes fought tooth and nail for the runner up spot, before the El Cajon youngster charged after Scelzi. With 15 circuits complete, Chiaramonte was able to make the pass for the top-spot, as the duo battled back and forth until a caution came out. On the restart Scelzi then blasted to the high side and made a beautiful pass to regain the point with 18 circuits down. Shortly after that, Chiaramonte's run came to a slowdown with a flat tire, relegating him to the rear. Clovis driver Dominic Gorden had run in the top five since lap 10 and entered the picture up front with just over 10 laps remaining. He took advantage of the choose cone following a yellow flag to solidify second and began to hound Scelzi relentlessly for the lead. With race fans on the edge of their seats the pair entered lapped traffic and looked to be headed for a shootout over the closing stages. A big moment of the race then occurred with just a few laps left, however, when contact sent Justin Sanders upside down. Sanders had transferred out of the B-main and put on a thrilling charge from 22nd starting in the feature. He got to as high as fifth at one point but suffered an unfortunate DNF just prior to the finish. Scelzi led the final three laps to bring home the victory over Gorden, Gomes, Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Kaleb Montgomery and Redding's Max Mittry in the top five. Montgomery started 14th on the grid and was fun to watch as always picking his way through the field to end up fourth. The final circuits featured a tremendous duel between Gomes, Montgomery and Mittry for the final spot on the podium. Rounding out the top 10 were Ashton Torgerson, Tanner Carrick, 17th starter Jodie Robinson, 19th starting Grant Duinkerken and Mariah Ede. A strong field of 43 cars competed with the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour on Saturday. Roseville's Colby Copeland began the evening by earning the Sierra Foothills Wine Services Fast Time Award. Copeland toured the quarter mile in 11.591 seconds. The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour returns to action on Sunday May 25th for the annual Mel & Marlyn Hall Memorial at Marysville Raceway.

- SCCT heads for Merced Speedway this Saturday April 19
Merced, CA…Over the last handful of years Merced Speedway has established itself as one of the more popular dirt tracks in California. This Saturday night, the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour will compete at the bullring for the second round of the season. The Merced Speedway happens to be one of the more centrally located tracks in California, which should make for a solid field from throughout the Northern and Central part of our state. The always action-packed quarter mile lies one hour and 45 minutes from Sacramento and just under an hour from Fresno. "We are excited to host the Sprint Car Challenge Tour at Merced Speedway this Saturday," commented track GM Doug Lockwood. "We don't have that many Sprint Car shows in Merced, but when we do, it's always a special time. It should be an outstanding field of competitors this weekend and it's your only chance to catch a Winged Sprint Car event here until November, so hopefully everyone can come out and fill these grandstands." The www.shopkylelarson.com A-main will hand out $3,000-to-win/ $400-to-start on Saturday. The track will also host an Easter Egg/ Candy Hunt during intermission on the front stretch to celebrate Easter Weekend. Teams are asked to please bring some candy for the kids during it. Opening night with the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour last month saw Shane Golobic race to his 17th career series win. This Saturday the Fremont veteran hopes to become the sixth different winner in as many SCCT races held at Merced Speedway. Fresno's Dominic Scelzi grabbed a Sprint Car Challenge Tour triumph at Merced in 2023 and recorded a runner-up finish during the SCCT opener in March. The two-time NARC champion is always a favorite in the Golden State and should be certain contender at the "Clash on the High Banks." Aromas driver Justin Sanders is fresh off a $10,000 score at the Mini Gold Cup and looks to back that up with a Merced Speedway victory on Saturday. Sanders was victorious during the SCCT stop at the track last season and brought home a top five at the opener in March. The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour made its Merced debut in 2019, an event claimed by Roseville's Jodie Robinson, who has shown immense speed so far this year driving for Weiher Racing once again. More drivers looking to take home the top prize at the Clash on the High Banks will include 2021 Merced SCCT winner Colby Copeland from Roseville, Sacramento's Austin Wood, Suisun City's Chance Grasty, Lincoln's Tanner Carrick, Clovis' Dominic Gorden, Templeton's Kaleb Montgomery, Hanford's DJ Netto, recent Ocean Speedway winner Seth Standley of Yuba City, Placerville's Shane Hopkins, Marysville brothers Carson and Dawson Hammes, Livermore's Travis Labat, Arizona driver Corbin Rueschenberg, Brentwood's Adriana Demartini, Fresno's Mariah Ede and others. Tickets and Details: Adult tickets for the Clash on the High Banks this Saturday April 19th cost $25, juniors will be $10, while kids 10 and under are free. The pit gate will open at 3pm, with the front gate opening at 5pm. Racing is slated to begin around 7pm. The muffler rule will be as follows: Flowmaster, SpinTech, Schoenfeld 14272735-78 or Extreme mufflers only. The Merced Speedway is located at 900 Martin Luther King Jr. Way, Merced, California 95431. It is approximately one hour and 45 minutes south of Sacramento and one hour north of Fresno.
