Antioch Speedway Dirt Track News
- Braden Chiaramonte puts on charge at Antioch Speedway for initial SCCT victory
Antioch, CA…Rebounding from engine issues in his heat race, 17-year-old Braden Chiaramonte marched through the field in the feature, netting his first career Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour victory on Saturday at Antioch Speedway. After losing an engine while running second in his heat, it forced the El Cajon driver to start from the final row in the 35-lap contest. The driver of the Tiner-Hirst Ent. / Larry Davis Farms No. 94TH then proceeded to put together a memorable performance for the fans on hand. By way of being a full-time SCCT team the youngster went home with $3,000 thanks to the Shop Kyle Larson Bonus. Chiaramonte also took over the Sprint Car Challenge Tour point lead in the process. "I knew we had a fast car all night and just had that engine issue in the heat race that put us at the rear for the main event," Chiaramonte said in victory lane." Starting from 17th I knew it would be tough, but I just drove this thing as hard as I could. Following people wouldn't have got the job done so I just searched around for different lines. I want to thank this entire Tiner-Hirst team for working so hard and giving me great cars every race." The main event began with Sacramento's Austin Wood jumping into the lead after winning the High Sierra Industries Dash. The Winged Sprint Car Rookie put together solid laps up front early on. Track conditions created some of the best racing seen all season with the Sprint Car Challenge Tour, as drivers utilized every inch of the Antioch bullring. Roseville veteran Sean Becker then pounced to take over the top-spot on lap nine and held the point for several circuits. With multiple competitors battling it out Chiaramonte was on the move from his 17th starting spot and blasted into second with 16 circuits complete. He then went to work on Becker and officially took command on lap 23. He would lead the remaining distance to cross under the Ron Stahl checkered flag. Becker brought the Dan Monhoff owned No. 35 home in second to record his best result of the SCCT season. The 43-year-old has been ultra consistent, with a trio of top-five finishes in the six events held. Cotati's Jake Haulot made a late move to earn his first career podium finish in Sprint Car Challenge Tour action. He also started the evening by setting the Sierra Foothills Wine Services Fast Time with a lap of 12.733 around the one-third mile oval. It was great to see the former Petaluma champion have a strong outing. Dunnigan's Luke Hayes also scored a career best SCCT finish with a solid fourth place run, while Austin Wood completed the top-five, also securing his career best tour result. Rounding out the top-10 in the feature were Colby Johnson, Michael Faccinto, Brad Bumgarner, Chance Grasty and Travis Labat. With his drive from 17th to 1st Chiaramonte took home the Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Award. The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour will now get set for Western Speedweek, which encompasses six straight nights of racing at six different tracks. It all begins on Monday July 15 at Cottage Grove Speedway and wraps up on Saturday July 20th at Placerville Speedway.

- Antioch Speedway caps busy stretch for SCCT this Saturday
Antioch, CA…The Contra Costa County Fairgrounds based Antioch Speedway will be the destination for the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour this Saturday night. The June 15th event at the "Action Track by the Delta" marks the sixth race of the season for the Sprint Car Challenge Tour and its only Antioch appearance in 2024. It's also the final outing for the SCCT 360s prior to getting ready for Western Speedweek in mid-July. "We look forward to bringing the Sprint Car Challenge Tour back to Antioch Speedway on Saturday," commented SCCT President Scott Russell. "They've done a fantastic job giving the place a total facelift in recent years and it should be a great night of racing this weekend." So far this season it has been all about Justin Sanders and car owner Dale Miller, who have captured all five races up to this point. With commitments up North however, Sanders will not be in action, which opens the door for a new winner on Saturday. El Cajon youngster Braden Chiaramonte will be the de facto point leader heading into Antioch Speedway. The driver of the Tiner-Hirst Ent.

Reigning Placerville Speedway champion Michael Faccinto is another top-five point driver that will look for a big win at Antioch Speedway on Saturday. The Hanford driver sits just four markers behind Chiaramonte in the SCCT standings. Veterans Andy Forsberg of Auburn and Sean Becker from Roseville are sure to be contenders at Antioch Speedway as well. Both competitors finished among the top-five last Saturday in Petaluma and now have their eyes on the trophy this weekend. Additional possibilities on Saturday include Livermore's Travis Labat, Clayton's Joey Ancona, Dunnigan's Luke Hayes, Sacramento's Austin Wood, Cotati's Jake Haulot and more. All cars that have competed at each SCCT event are also eligible for the $500 Shop Kyle Larson Bonus if they win at Antioch on Saturday. If they can do so, it will make for a $3,000 total payday. Standard nightly payouts with the tour continue to be $2,500-to-win and $400-to-start the 24-car main event. Former SCCT winners at Antioch Speedway include Visalia's Cory Eliason, Chico's Jonathan Allard and most recently Fremont's Shane Golobic.

- SCCT jump starts Bradway weekend with initial Placerville visit of the year Friday
Placerville, CA…Friday night lights are coming to Placerville Speedway this week, as the Sprint Car Challenge Tour opens the Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial with its first appearance of the season on the red clay. The event this Friday May 31st marks 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. Live Music will entertain the crowd from 4-6pm, with Coors Light Happy Hour occurring until 6 each night. The official jeweler of Placerville Speedway, Adrian Blanco, also returns in 2024. This Friday's show will be designated as Adrian Blanco Jewelry Night, who will present the SCCT winner with a custom watch certificate. Both nights also showcase the Nor-Cal Dwarf Car Association. The "Bradway" originally began at Silver Dollar Speedway in 1992 to honor the late Dave Bradway Jr., who lost his life in a Sprint Car crash at Skagit Speedway's Dirt Cup in 1987. Bradway was a driver destined for stardom in Sprint Car racing and the event held in his memory has become a cornerstone for Northern California. "We are excited about this weekend's Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial at Placerville Speedway," commented track Promoter Scott Russell. "If you're a Winged Sprint Car enthusiast in California this is the place to be. We feel that running SCCT on Friday night and NARC on Saturday will give us the best chance to have an outstanding track for the teams and fans. Our entire staff is honored to host the Bradway for the fourth straight year." Leading SCCT into Bradway opening night presented by Adrian Blanco Jewelry is one of the hottest drivers in California, that being Aromas' Justin Sanders. The driver of the Dale Miller Septic No. 4sa has captured all three Sprint Car Challenge Tour events contested thus far, including last Saturday's Hall Memorial. Sanders is always a tough customer at Placerville Speedway but will face stiff challenges from what is expected to be a stout field of SCCT competitors. Last time out at the track it was Auburn's Andy Forsberg who raced to his 70th career Sprint Car win at Pville over young Braden Chiaramonte and Shane Hopkins, who is fresh off a career night with SCCT in Marysville.

- BRADEN CHIARAMONTE GETS THIRD PODIUM FINISH IN EIGHT DAYS
(El Cajon, CA, May 23) Rising teenage star Braden Chiaramonte scored a podium finish in the Tiner/Hirst-owned 94TH sprint car for the third time in eight days. His latest effort came when he placed second last Saturday night at the Marysville Raceway. The finish went along with his third-place result at the Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico on May 10th and a second-place finish at Placerville on the 11th. Chiaramonte will return to Marysville this Saturday with the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour in the Mel and Marlyn Hall Memorial. The most amazing aspect of Chiaramonte's accomplishment from last week is that he had never seen the Marysville oval before. Yet, he performed flawlessly all night, from hot laps through the main event. The second-place finish sounds amazing, but it could have been more. The friendly young driver actually took the lead away on lap 20 of the main event. However, a yellow flag seconds after he took the lead reverted the lineup to the previous completed lap. Fans began to sit up and take notice of Chiaramonte in qualifying. Even though he was pitted against 24 track regulars, he still qualified third fastest with a sizzling lap of 12.637 in the Slade Precision Shocks/Larry Davis Farms/System 1 Pro Ignition sponsored car. He backed that impressive performance up with a very exciting win in the third eight-lap heat race. After a slider fest with another car at the outset, the new kid on the block led all eight laps and raced across the line a half straightaway ahead of his closest pursuer. In addition to winning the heat, he also posted the fastest lap in the race at 13.325. The newcomer to the track gave the regulars more to worry about when he pulled a two in the redraw for the 25-lap finale. When the A main started, Chiaramonte was second to turn one on the start. The determined teen challenged the cushion lap after lap. When lapped traffic came into play on the 11th circuit, he tried to pass the leader on the inside coming off turn four. However, the surface was definitely "Cowboy Up" on the bottom, making it hard to pass. Undeterred, Chiaramonte was relentless in his pursuit of the leader. Building up momentum on the wide line, he chased down his foe and inched ahead when that yellow waved as the pack roared into turn one on lap 20. That meant the field was reset to the last completed lap. Thus, Chiaramonte moved back to second. Once the race restarted, the El Cajon, California teen kept the heat on until the checkered flag. In the end, he was forced to settle for second. The impressive second-place finish endeared the newcomer to the crowd. He was spectacular on the outside and may have well won the race if not for the late-race yellow. Lap eight was Chiaramonte's best circuit around the track in the main at 13.325. It was the second-fastest lap in the race, and identical to his best time in his heat race. Going into this week's SCCT show at Marysville, Chiaramonte is 13th in series points and is only 20 points out of fifth. The race will mark the beginning of four straight weeks of SCCT racing for the young driver and the remainder of the series regulars. On Friday, May 31st, it will be on to the Placerville Speedway, where Chiaramonte finished second two weeks ago in a non-SCCT race. A week later, on June 8th, he will be at the Petaluma Speedway before heading to Antioch Speedway on June 15th. Adult tickets at Marysville Raceway on Saturday are $24.00. Juniors 12-15, seniors 62+, and military are $20. Kids 6-11 cost $10.00, and those five and under will be free. Tickets can be purchased at the gate or via https://www.eventsprout.com/event/marysville-raceway-2024. The front gate will open at 5:00 p.m. Cars hit the track at 5:30, with hot laps, Sierra Foothills Wine Services qualifying, and racing to follow. Chiaramonte would like to thank all his sponsors who have made his racing efforts possible.

- SCCT begins busy stint with Hall Memorial at Marysville Saturday
Marysville, CA…The busiest stretch of the season for the Sprint Car Challenge Tour gets underway this Saturday with the 24th running of the "Mel & Marlyn Hall Memorial" at Marysville Raceway. This Saturday's event marks the third race of the season for the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour. The first two rounds in Stockton and Merced last month were claimed by Aromas driver Justin Sanders and Dale Miller Racing. Sanders, the 2018 winner of the Mel & Marlyn Hall Memorial, currently sits atop the standings over Fremont's Shane Golobic, Penngrove's Chase Johnson, Oakley's Dylan Bloomfield and Clovis' Dominic Gorden. Last season saw Auburn's Andy Forsberg match Colby Wiesz for the most all-time wins at the event, having claimed his sixth career Hall Memorial checkered flag. The show in Marysville this Saturday launches four consecutive weeks of racing for the SCCT 360s, with an event at Placerville Speedway coming up on Friday May 31st, followed by Petaluma Speedway on June 8th and all culminating at Antioch Speedway June 15th. 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 to 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. The event held in their memory remains a cornerstone on the track schedule. Tickets and Details: Adult tickets at Marysville Raceway this Saturday May 25th cost $22; while juniors 12-15, seniors 62+ and military are $18 will be $10; kids 6-11 cost $8 and those five and under will be free. Tickets can be purchased at the gate or via https://www.eventsprout.com/event/marysville-raceway-2024 The pit gate will open at 3pm, with the front gate opening at 5pm and pit meeting at 4:45pm. Cars hit the track at 5:30, with hot laps, Sierra Foothills Wine Services qualifying and racing to follow. The event will follow the standard SCCT muffler rule, which is either the Large Flowmaster or Large Spintech Muffler as described in the rulebook. For those who can't make it to the track CaliDirt.TV provides live coverage of every Sprint Car Challenge Tour event. The service also covers every championship point race at Placerville Speedway. Fans can purchase through a cost savings monthly membership or on a per race basis via https://calidirt.tv/ The Marysville Raceway is in Marysville, California.

- SANDERS SOARS IN DOMINATING NARC CONTRA COSTA COUNTY CLASH WIN
(5/11/24 Ben Deatherage) Antioch, California ... Justin Sanders opened his 2024 NARC 410 Sprint Car Series winning account with an all-around dominating performance at Antioch Speedway during the Contra Costa County Clash. The Demo Mittry-owned, Farmers Brewing Company #2X KPC entry outgunned the field for the entire 30-lap distance in the Hoosier Racing Tire main event. It marked the first time the team and driver scored a tour win at the historic 3/8-mile clay oval. Taking full advantage of his inside front-row starting position, Sanders bolted out to the front on once the green flag fell. He set a rather torrid pace as it took him just five laps to reach the back end of the field. Heavy traffic came into play, but Sanders found a way to zig and zag past slower cars. Three cautions periods took place just before the midway point, tightening the field but allowing Sanders to operate on an open track. The second half of the race would see a slightly different script play out as Matt Wood Racing driver Shane Golobic, chauffeuring the NOS Energy Drink #17W KPC, began to chase the leader down with less than ten to go. As the lap count dwindled, the two waltzed in and out of traffic. With three circuits remaining, the battle was put on pause due to a red flag incident. The final restart witnessed Sanders show his jungle cat quickness in the open and be the first driver to the wire. "We've been trying to build a whole new package with this new chassis the last two months," said a jubilant Mittry Motorsports driver, "I got to thank Demo (Mittry) for allowing me to try all this stuff, I have ideas in my head all the time and things I want to try, and he deserves these wins and I'm glad we're on top tonight and get him this win." It was Sanders 16th career NARC 410 Sprint Car Series victory, putting him ninth all-time. "I know when Shane's in second, he will be stalking," continued Sanders. "He's really good at that. He's really good at restarts, and I always say one of his strengths is his restarts." Golobic would be credited with a very respectable second-place result. Local teenager Dylan Bloomfield battled hard in the early stages with the eventual runner-up before earning third in the Starr Property Management #83V Maxim for Vertullo Racing. "It would have taken a full race of green flag racing (to catch Justin)," commented Golobic. "That's how I was able to get to second in the first place: by making moves in traffic. He did an excellent job getting through traffic, and it seemed like every time we'd get into the thick of it, we would get a yellow." Bud Kaeding kept the Kaeding Performance Center #29 Maxim among the top five finishers with his fourth effort, while Cole Macedo rallied the Tarlton & Son #21 Maxim to fifth for Tarlton Motorsports. Sean Becker beat out Kaleb Montgomery for sixth place, while Justyn Cox came to the checkered flag eighth. Tanner Holmes was the Williams Roofing Hardcharger with his eighteenth to ninth performance. Chase Johnson rounded out the top ten. Sanders was the ARP Quick Qualifier and victorious in the Beacon Wealth Strategies Trophy Dash. Montgomery, Kaeding, Macedo, and Golobic were the four heat race winners. Tanner Carrick finished first in the Starr Property Management Semi-Main.

- NARC RESCHEDULES TULARE'S CHRIS & BRIAN FARIA RACE FOR OCTOBER 12TH
(May 5, 2024 - Jim Allen) Tulare, CA ... Tulare Thunderbowl Raceway promoter Steve Faria and the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series worked out a plan to reschedule the rained-out May 4th Chris & Brian Faria Memorial. The race will be moved to Saturday, October 12th as a bolt-on addition to an existing program that features the Sprint Car Challenge Tour 360's. "I don't want to miss out on any NARC 410 dates at my track," explained Faria, "especially the Chris and Brian Faria race. By combining it with the Sprint Car Challenge Tour date in October, we will be giving the fans a great night of sprint car racing." Bad weather has played havoc on the NARC campaign this season, cancelling, postponing, or rescheduling five of the seven races to date. The next event on the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series agenda is the May 11th Contra Costa County Clash at Antioch Speedway. NARC does run at Tulare again on May 18th, followed by a rescheduled Sunday twilight show at the Stockton Dirt Track on May 19th. Updated schedules can be found at http://NARC410.com/schedule
- TULARE'S CHRIS & BRIAN FARIA MEMORIAL NEXT FOR NARC 410 SPRINT CAR SERIES
(4/29/24 - Ben Deatherage) Tulare, California ...The 900+ horsepower fire-breathing cars and stars of the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series are thrilled to return to Thunderbowl Raceway on Saturday, May 4th, for the Chris & Brian Faria Memorial! The 1/3-mile clay oval action track in Tulare is renowned for its breathtaking action, lightning-quick speed, and edge-of-your-seat racing. "We're really excited to get back to Tulare," said Chico's Nick Parker, who is off to a hot start and enters the weekend fifth in the championship standings. "It's a track we've been okay at and struggled at sometimes, but I'm feeling really confident from some of our recent runs and that we continue to build off of our good finishes." The Faria Memorial marks the third round of the 65th Anniversary season for the Northern Auto Racing Club. It is the third different venue the popular series has visited in 2024. The schedule has also endured three rain-outs. The race is run in memory of two members of the storied Faria family. Chris unfortunately passed away in a farming accident in 1993, and Brian was tragically killed in an automobile crash in early 2006. This will be the first time since 2021 that NARC has been a part of the Faria Memorial. The companion division for the evening is the Kings of Thunder 360 Sprints. Championship Chase Despite still being in the early stages of the quest to become the King of the West, this Saturday kicks off a busy portion of the calendar as it will significantly indicate who will become the frontrunners for the prestigious championship title. It kicks off the meat of the schedule with 16-races in the next 11-weeks. Cole Macedo will lead the points table entering the Faria Memorial and is batting one-hundred-percent in the win column with NARC by taking care of business at both the Mini Gold Cup and the Asparagus Cup. After spending the last few weeks in the Midwest, the Lemoore racer, in the Tarlton Motorsports #21, recently posted an impressive fifth-place result at West Memphis, Arkansas' Riverside International Speedway on April 23rd with the High Limit Series and was fourth against the World of Outlaws on April 29th at Paducah International Raceway in Kentucky. Tanner Carrick, from Lincoln, is the current runner-up in the championship race and trails Macedo by a mere twelve markers. Carrick has posted two Top 10 results in two NARC feature starts and was on the podium with a third-place finish at the new Stockton Dirt Track back in April. Caeden Steele is the pacesetter in the Class of 2024 rookie race as he sits third in the standings. The Easton driver wowed the crowd at Chico when he was third at the drop of the checkered and is a star on the rise in the Golden State. 2017 champion Bud Kaeding is currently fourth in points and has yet to finish outside of the Top 10 with the series, including a season-best fifth at the Mini Gold Cup. The Campbell chauffeur has managed to score three victories at Tulare over the years when NARC has come to town, with his most recent trip to Thunderbowl victory lane on April 21st, 2018, during the Spring Nationals. Parker, originally from Tucson, Arizona, has shown moments of brilliance with NARC this year. The 2023 Rookie of the Year scored his first career NARC Top 5 at the Asparagus Cup. After finishing fifth at Stockton, the team is hungry to build on their April performance. Who to Watch Justin Sanders hopes to return to his winning ways for the Mittry Motorsports #2X team. The driver from the coastal city of Aromas was third the last time NARC was in Tulare during the Dennis Roth Classic last April. It is one of the few tracks on the schedule that Sanders has yet to win at with the tour, but that stat could easily change. 2021 and 2022 NARC champion Dominic Scelzi is excited to race with NARC for the first time in 2024. After spending the spring months on the East Coast and the Midwest, the Fresno wheelman has a trio of trips to the top of the Tulare podium, with his latest victory coming on May 13th, 2022, on the first night of the Peter Murphy Classic. Scelzi is the most recent victor of the Faria when he hit pay dirt in July of 2021. Roseville runner Justyn Cox can't wait to get back to the Thunderbowl. Last year, He captured the $18,383. payday at the Dennis Roth Classic for the Bates-Hamilton Racing #42X team, his first career NARC triumph. Several other Central Valley contenders are expected to be in the house. They include 2019 NARC champ D.J. Netto from Hanford, Lemoore's Gauge Garcia returning behind the wheel of the Keller Motorsports #2K, Dominic Gorden of Clovis, and Tipton driver Dawson Faria. Netto won this event in 2015. Other NARC 410 Series regulars in action will include Oakley pilot Dylan Bloomfield in the Vertullo #83V, Billy Aton from Benicia, Penngrove's Chase Johnson, Chico pilot Michael Ing, and Jarrett Soares of Gilroy. Also expected to be in action are Fremont's Shane Golobic, Templeton native Kaleb Montgomery, and Ashlyn Rodriguez from Wilton.
