  TRENT WILLIAMS FINISHES RACE AT BAKERSFIELD DESPITE OBSTACLES

  (Hesperia, CA, May 21, 2022) Despite having to restart at the back twice due to getting caught up in others' messes, Trent Williams came back to finish 13th and roll his #51T back into the trailer after the USAC/CRA main event last Saturday at the Bakersfield Speedway. DSC_5217.JPG Trent Williams photo courtesy of Charles Fawcett. The race was the first-ever for the Apple Valley, California racer on the 77-year-old 1/3 mile Kern County clay oval. Despite that, "T-Dub" quickly adapted to the track and stopped the clocks at 13.587. That was the eighth quickest of the 22 cars that showed up on the pleasant spring evening. After a seventh-place finish in his heat race, Williams was coming off the outside of the fifth row in the 30-lap main event. With an ominous full moon hovering above, near-disaster struck at the end of the first circuit. Chaos erupted just in front of him as he exited turn four. Williams did his best to steer through the mess, but he was nearly "Monster Trucked" from behind by another car trying to avoid the mayhem as well. Williams' crew quickly got the car to the work area in the center of the track. They looked it over and deemed it ready for the restart. Unfortunately, due to the tangle, he and the other cars involved had to go to the rear. Williams quickly worked his way up to 13th, but a restart with 12 laps to go bit him again. Cars tangled going into turn one and once again things were unavoidable and the Williams #52V got caught up in the bedlam. It was the same story as before as the crew checked over the car and sent him back on his way for round three. Over the last seven laps, Williams worked his way up to 13th once again when the checkers ended the race. While 13th was not where he wanted to end up, the bright side was he finished and rolled the car into the trailer. Thus far in 2022, he has finished every main event that he has started. One of the highlights of the night was watching the #52T's crew in action. Comprised of his father Ron, girlfriend Seattle, and his brother Jake, when they were not busy checking Williams' car after the tangles, they pitched in and helped several other teams change flat tires in the work area during the 30-lap main event. Williams would like to thank marketing partners Victory Boys Performance, Sorrento Homes, and JasonR.Photos for making it possible to race his Maxim Chassis/Shaver Engines #52V during the 2022 season. He also wants to send a special thanks to Russell and Jean Martin for the use of their truck and trailer to get the #52V to the track last week.

  EDDIE TAFOYA JR. FINISHES FIFTH IN BAKERSFIELD USAC/CRA SPRINT CAR RACE

  (Chino Hills, CA, May 20, 2022) Making only his second appearance at the Bakersfield Speedway, Eddie Tafoya Jr. avoided the chaos and placed fifth in the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series main event last Saturday night. It was his third top-five finish in 2022. DSC_5203.jpg Eddie Tafoya Jr. photo courtesy of Charles Fawcett. For Tafoya, who makes his home in Chino Hills, California, not only was it his second appearance at the track that is billed as "The West's Fastest 1/3 Mile High Banked Clay Oval," but it was his first time there since 2019. His result on Saturday bodes well for the series' next appearance there on Labor Day weekend. Twenty-two cars showed up for the race on the Kern County clay oval. When qualifying began, it was obvious that it was a "Cowboy Up" track. Tafoya was the first car out to qualify in the "PBR-Looking" session. His first lap saw him bounce around the edge of the cushion in turn four and ended up at 14.411. On the second lap, he lived up to his "Mr. Smooth" nickname. He kept all four tires on the ground and stopped the clocks over a half-second faster at 13.804. That was right in the middle of the field at 11th fastest. The Bakersfield crew did their magic on the track when time trials were over and it was much smoother throughout the remainder of the night. Tafoya's first opportunity to test the reworked surface came in the second 10-lap heat race. The pretty #51T started on the inside of row two and ended up placing fifth. For the 30-lap feature, Tafoya started on the inside of the sixth row in 11th. By the time the race survived one red flag and the first two yellows on lap seven, the #51T was running in fifth. That was a good thing as throughout the race, the yellow flag halted the action several times and all that trouble was behind him. Tafoya stayed in fifth for the duration and earned his second top-five finish in the last three races. In two races at Bakersfield in his young career, Tafoya's consistent driving style has yielded fifth and sixth-place finishes. Last week's result allowed Tafoya to maintain his fifth-place standing in the USAC/CRA Series. Going into the next race at Perris Auto Speedway on May 28th, he is only 23-points out of fourth. Through the first nine races of the year, his finishing average is 8.88. However, that included a three-race stretch in the middle portion of his schedule that saw him finish outside the top 10 (including one race at Perris when he was clobbered and had a car destroyed). Take away those uncharacteristic outings and his finishing order in the other six races is an impressive 5.66. Tafoya and the #51T team would like to thank Specialty Fasteners, DRC Chassis, Ryder Racing Engines, Simpson Safety Products, Bell, Benic Enterprises, BR Motorsports, PSC Powder Coating, Magik Graphics, Gasper Transportation, Owen's Insurance Services, and Weld Wheels for making the 2022 season possible. If you or your company would like to be a part of the Specialty Fastener team's 2022 season effort, please contact Eddie Tafoya Jr. via phone at (909) 393-3999 or by e-mail at teamtafoya@aol.com.

  JEFF DYER GETS ANOTHER CLS SECOND-PLACE FINISH AT BAKERSFIELD

  (Yucca Valley, CA, May 20, 2022) Jeff Dyer continued his pursuit of the 2022 California Lightning Sprint Car Series championship with his third straight second-place finish at the Bakersfield Speedway last Saturday night. In addition to the CLS side of the program, Dyer also raced his 410 sprint car and finished 14th in the companion USAC/CRA main event. 280524714_3104555146462480_1116574500896404848_n.jpg Jeff Dyer and his wife Christina before last Saturday's race at Bakersfield. Saturday's race was Dyer's fifth of the year in the CLS and his performances have been phenomenal. In addition to his three second-place finishes, he also has a third and a fourth. Dyer came out of Saturday's race 79-points out of first in the championship standings. However, he has missed one race while the point leader has not. As the CLS has a one-race throw-away rule in 2022. Dyer's throw-out race will be the one he missed. At the beginning of the night, Dyer recorded the fastest time in West Evans Motorsports CLS qualifying with a lap of 12.908. Not only was that faster than all the CLS cars, but it was also faster than all the 410 USAC/CRA Sprint Cars as well. Dyer followed the qualifying effort in his familiar #4 with a third-place finish in his heat. For the main, the retired United States Army Demolitions Expert started fifth. He quickly advanced to third. On lap eight, the second-place car got caught in lapped traffic. Veteran Dyer took full advantage of the situation, raced by, and set his sights on the leader. The distance between the leader and Dyer quickly dwindled. Suddenly, Dyer was within striking distance, and he tried to knife his way inside in turn one on the 10th lap. The leader thwarted the effort and pulled away. At that point, most in the crowd thought the race for the lead was over. Dyer, who recently turned 40, had other ideas. The pacesetter got caught behind lapped traffic on the 14th go around. As soon as he did, Dyer was camping on his tail tank. He tried to pass for the lead on the inside in turn one, but once again, the leader held him at bay before motoring away. That was not going to be the end of the story. As the laps dwindled down, Dyer seemingly was not going to catch the first-place driver. However, with two laps to go, he was coming on like a runaway freight train. Just as he was about to mount another challenge, a lapped car drifted into Dyer's path forcing him to slow down. With only two laps to go, it was too late for Dyer to rebuild his momentum and he took another second place. Dyer moved forward more than any other driver in the main event and was the Speed Mart/Advanced Racing Suspension "Hard Charger." When the 25-lap CLS race ended, Dyer returned to his pit and jumped into his 410 USAC/CRA Sprint Car. The veteran driver started 19th in a race that was plagued with multiple yellows and one red flag. With chaos all around him, the Yucca Valley, California resident stayed out of the trouble and came home 14th. This Saturday, Dyer will continue his pursuit of the CLS title when the series makes a stop at the Ventura Raceway. For fans who would like to attend Saturday's show, adult tickets are $22.00. Seniors 60 and over, military with id, and students with id get in for $18.00. Kids 12 and under are free when accompanied by an adult. Spectator gates will open at 3:00 p.m. and the first race will be at 5:30. The track is located on the Ventura County Fairgrounds at 10 W. Harbor Boulevard (93001). The website is http://venturaraceway.com/ and the office phone number is (805) 648-RACE. On May 28th, he will jump back into his USAC/CRA 410 sprint car for the annual Salute to Indy at Perris Auto Speedway. As usual, Dyer is not the only member of the family who will be competing this Saturday. His son Seth will be racing at Wheel2Wheel Raceway in Victorville, where he is fifth in the restrictor class championship standings. Last Saturday night, the teen finished fifth in the main event.

  BETTER TO BE LUCKY THAN GOOD: SCELZI SNAGS SECOND STRAIGHT PETER MURPHY CLASSIC AFTER LEADERS TANGLE

  (5/14/2022 - Alex Nieten) Hanford, CA... Dominic Scelzi summed up his 2022 Peter Murphy Classic victory at Hanford's Keller Auto Speedway with just six words. "Better to be lucky than good," Scelzi said to open his victory lane interview. The reigning NARC Fujitsu General Sprint Car champion found himself in the right place at the right time with just nine laps to go when Justin Sanders and Corey Day collided in turn four while battling for the lead, taking each other out of contention. The incident gifted the lead to the Red Rose Transportation/Whipple Superchargers No. 41 piloted by Scelzi, who started the race from 12th, and he went on to sweep the NARC portion of the Peter Murphy Classic after claiming the opener at Tulare on Friday and Saturday's finale in Hanford. The victory was Scelzi's fourth NARC triumph at Keller Auto Speedway, making the three-eighths mile the winningest track on his NARC resumé. And perhaps the most meaningful statistic to Scelzi is that he became the first driver in the Peter Murphy Classic's eight year history to win the $11,000 NARC finale twice after he claimed last year's edition, too. "I would not be here if it wasn't for Peter," Scelzi said. "He dug me out of the darkest spot of my career as a young kid. He made me keep going, and I will forever be thankful for that." The race was brought to green by Justin Sanders and Kerry Madsen. Sanders darted ahead as Max Mittry ripped the topside around Madsen into the runner-up spot. Sanders opened up a commanding lead early on as Corey Day began to charge toward the front. First Day and Colby Copeland nearly got together dueling for fourth with Day coming out on top. Then Day made quick work of Madsen and Mittry and set his sights on a distant Sanders who navigated traffic. The race's first yellow flew on lap 11 when Madsen spun in turn one. D.J. Netto inherited the fifth spot that Madsen had held as a result. On the restart with 20 laps remaining Day got an excellent jump and squeezed to Sanders' inside entering turn one. The two drifted high exiting turn two with Day completing the slider and immediately setting sail. Behind them, Scelzi made a couple moves to power into fourth after restarting in sixth. The No. 41 machine prepared by Jimmy Carr made Scelzi's life easier as he charged from row six throughout the race's opening half. "When we pushed out onto the racetrack before the feature, I saw Jimmy walk past my car and he was wearing my shirt, so I knew we were going to be pretty good," Scelzi joked. "It's been amazing," Scelzi added. It's been incredible. He's changed my entire life... He made a driver out of me. He taught me how to win races and how to race." Scelzi climbed onto the podium by passing Colby Copeland on lap 14, and shortly after disaster struck for the leaders. Day, who had built a considerable lead, drifted high out of turn two and off track down the backstretch on lap 21. As a result, Sanders had a huge run into turn three and threw a slider, clearing Day but drifting slightly above the rubber that was starting to develop in turn four. Day stayed in the rubber and dove under Sanders, but Day's right rear hit Sanders' left front, sending Day on a wild slide down the front stretch and breaking Sanders' front end. Both of their nights were done. Their troubles were Scelzi's good fortune as he took over the top spot. "I felt like we were, honestly, as good as the 14 (Day) and 57 (Sanders) and we closed in on both," Scelzi explained. "But as it started getting abrasive I felt like there was no way. I wasn't really paying attention to how Sanders slid Corey, but I was probably half a straightaway back trying to conserve tire, hoping maybe they'd get too antsy and lose a tire. When I saw them start racing I just said 'okay I've got one or two laps to get right there and hope something happens.' And when it did I was just far enough away to miss it." After Scelzi inherited the lead, he drove away unchallenged on the ensuing restart to claim his 17th career NARC win with a 1.3 second advantage over Copeland. "We got lucky tonight, but nobody's going to give a crap in two days," Scelzi said. "Whether we got lucky or not, we won. We got the check. We got the trophy. We got the wine. We got everything." Copeland's runner-up in Larry Anaya's Fire Protection Management No. 16A kept his perfect top-two streak alive. He's raced in three of the four NARC races this year with finishes of first, second, and second. "Second is obviously great with this kind of competition," Copeland said. "Larry (Antaya) and Jim (Vanlare) gave me a great car, just need to do a little fine tuning to keep up with Dominic." Completing the podium was the 2019 champion D.J. Netto in his Netto Ag/Penny Newman Grain No. 88N.

  AFTER A 10TH AT PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY, WILLIAMS HEADS TO BAKERSFIELD

  (Hesperia, CA, May 12th, 2022) After recording his 5th top ten finish in five starts this year at Perris two weeks ago, Trent Williams is headed to the "California Country Music Capital," Bakersfield, for a race this Saturday night, May 14th at the Bakersfield Speedway. The race will be the first of two on the track for the Apple Valley, CA resident in 2022. DSC_5217.jpg Trent Williams photo courtesy of Charles Fawcett. For Williams, Saturday's race will be his first on the track that is billed as "The West's Fastest 1/3 Mile High Banked Clay Oval." He heads into the USAC/CRA portion of the program, which will also include the California Lightning Sprints, NMRA ¾ Midgets, and Hobby Stocks, 15th in the championship standings. However, he is a mere nine points out of 13th and is only 33-points out of 10th. In his last outing at Perris, Williams finished in 10th. That broke a string of six straight ninth-place finishes dating back to 2021. The Cal State Fullerton graduate ran as high as eighth in that 30-lapper. For the entire race, he participated in a war with seven others that see-sawed back and forth much to the delight of the Perris crowd. After five races, the driver known as "T-DUB" has a main event finishing average of 9.20. After four races in the month of April, Williams and the other USAC/CRA stars have a more relaxed schedule in May and June. After this week's race in Bakersfield, Williams gets a week off before returning to Perris Auto Speedway for the prestigious "Salute To Indy." That race dates back to the 1940s. In June, Williams will get to race at one of his favorite tracks, the Ventura Raceway, on June 11th. The famous track is located adjacent to the beach on the historic Ventura County Fairgrounds, which first saw motorsports events 98-years ago. Two weeks after that, he returns to Perris for the inaugural "Bubby Jones/Ray Sheetz Memorial." If you want to catch Williams in action this Saturday, the Bakersfield Speedway is located at 5001 N. Chester Ext., in Bakersfield (93308). The track website is http://www.bakersfieldspeedway.com/ and the office phone number is (661) 393-3373. The pit gate will open at 2:00 p.m., spectator gates at 4:00, and racing will start at 6:00. Adult tickets are $20.00. Seniors and military get in for $18.00. For kids 6-12 it is $5.00 and children 5 and under are free. Williams would like to thank marketing partners Victory Boys Performance, Sorrento Homes, and JasonR.Photos for making it possible to race his Maxim Chassis/Shaver Engines #52V during the 2022 season. He also wants to send a special thanks to Russell and Jean Martin for the use of their truck and trailer to get the #52V to the track last week.

  EDDIE TAFOYA JR. MAKES SECOND APPEARANCE AT BAKERSFIELD SATURDAY

  (Chino Hills, CA, May 12, 2022) Shaking off the frustration of making a 4,375-mile round trip only to get rained out at Ohio's Eldora Speedway, Eddie Tafoya Jr. returns to sprint car action when the Amsoil USAC/CRA Series visits Scott Schweitzer's Bakersfield Speedway on Saturday night, May 14th. 279787127_8133968176620679_7470870471817650975_n.jpg Eddie Tafoya Jr. photo courtesy of Bobby Kimbrough. Saturday will only be the second time that Tafoya has made the 150-mile trip north to the famous track that is celebrating its 77th anniversary this year. In 2019, the year Tafoya won the USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year award, he made his initial trek to "The Fastest 1/3 Mile High Banked Clay Oval In The West" and he made a favorable impression. On that night, Tafoya, who makes his home in Chino Hills, California, turned in a qualifying time of 12.963. That was the ninth fastest of the 17 cars on hand. He followed that up with an eighth-place finish in his heat. In the main, "Mr. Smooth" started 10th and finished sixth in one of his most impressive performances during his rookie season. "It is good, I ran sixth there my rookie year," Tafoya answered when asked if he liked the Bakersfield Speedway. "That was my best finish that year. Hopefully, we can have some good luck there and get some good finishes going." "We just have to change a couple of little things we had set up for Eldora," the well-spoken driver continued while returning from the Midwest. "We have to change it back for our home set up and we will be on our way." Bakersfield Speedway is similar in size to the Mohave Valley Raceway where Tafoya finished third in the main event three weeks ago. That was his second-best finish of 2022 and was only surpassed by a runner-up finish at Arizona's Cocopah Speedway on January 29th. Tafoya comes into Saturday's race fifth in USAC/CRA Series points. Through the first eight races of the 2022 campaign, he has been in the top 10 five times and in the top five twice. His main event finishing position average thus far this year is 9.375. Fans who would like to attend Saturday's USAC/CRA race at Bakersfield can find the track at 5001 N. Chester Ext., in Bakersfield (93308). The track website is http://www.bakersfieldspeedway.com/ and the office phone number is (661) 393-3373. The pit gate will open at 2:00 p.m., spectator gates at 4:00, and racing will start at 6:00. Adult tickets are $20.00. Seniors and military get in for $18.00. For kids 6-12 it is $5.00 and children 5 and under are free.

Tafoya and the #51T team would like to thank Specialty Fasteners, DRC Chassis, Ryder Racing Engines, Simpson Safety Products, Bell, Benic Enterprises, BR Motorsports, PSC Powder Coating, Magik Graphics, Gasper Transportation, Owen's Insurance Services, and Weld Wheels for making the 2022 season possible.

  FLOWDYNAMICS DRIVERS RACING AT THE BAKERSFIELD SPEEDWAY SATURDAY

  (Ontario, CA, May 12, 2022) The USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series returns to action this Saturday night, May 14th, for round #9 of the 2022 season at Scott Schweitzer's Bakersfield Speedway. It will be the first of two appearances for the Ontario, California-based Flowdynamics duo of Matt McCarthy and Logan Williams on the Kern County Oval in 2022. PAS 3-26-22=28m 5w=1085-3.jpg Flowdynamics teammates Matt McCarthy (#28) and Logan Williams will be at the Bakersfield Saturday. Doug Allen photo. The return to Bakersfield will also serve as an anniversary for Williams. The Yorba Linda, California driver made his first appearance in a Flowdynamics car at the track on May 8, 2021. Despite being out of the cockpit for a couple of years, Williams showed no track rust that night and placed seventh. Heading into this week's race, Williams, and teammate Matt McCarthy both have perfect attendance making all eight races thus far in 2022. They each hold top 10 spots in the season-long championship standings with Williams sixth and McCarthy ninth. Williams is a mere 16-points out of fifth. Riverside, California's McCarthy is 36-markers out of eighth place in the standings. The duo comes into this Saturday's race after getting a week off last week. In the last race at Perris Auto Speedway on April 30th, Williams placed 11th in the 30-lap main. McCarthy's night was filled with nothing but frustration as the team chased a problem that turned out to be a collapsed fuel line that resulted in him not turning in a single competitive lap. After the trip to Kern County on Saturday, the Flowdynamics team will return to Perris for the annual "Salute to Indy" on May 28th. That event will be followed by two races in June. The first will be at the Ventura Raceway on the 11th before returning to the series home track at Perris on the 25th. Fans who would like to attend Saturday's USAC/CRA race at Bakersfield can find the track at 5001 N. Chester Ext., in Bakersfield (93308).

  JEFF DYER DOING DOUBLE DUTY SATURDAY AT THE BAKERSFIELD SPEEDWAY

  (Yucca Valley, CA, May 11, 2022) When the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series and California Lightning Sprint Cars converge on the Bakersfield Speedway this Saturday night, May 14th, one of the busiest guys on the premises will be Jeff Dyer. The longtime open-wheel racer will be driving a car in each class and will be hopping back and forth between the two all night long. Deyr, Jeff 3-26.jpg Jeff Dyer in the Cal Smith/Dyer Motorsports #39 earlier this year at Perris Auto Speedway. Charles Fawcett photo. Dyer comes into the CLS portion of Saturday's show ranked fourth in the championship standings. That is despite missing one event when the two series were racing on the same night at different tracks, and he opted to run his 410. While he is fourth in the standings, his 2.75 finishing average is the best of the series regulars with four or more main event starts. In his four CLS starts in 2022, he has not finished worse than fourth with two runner-up finishes, a third, and a fourth. His two starts with the CLS at Bakersfield produced the third and fourth-place results. When Dyer, who resides in Yucca Valley, California, hits the track in the Cal Smith/Dyer Motorsports #39 on the USAC/CRA side of Saturday's program, he will be 22nd in series points. His last outing came at the Mohave Valley Raceway on April 23rd. In that race, he was running a new engine that came out of Missouri. However, he lost his brakes in the B Main and was done for the night. Fans who would like to attend Saturday's open-wheel show in Bakersfield can find the track at 5001 N. Chester Ext., in Bakersfield (93308). The track website is http://www.bakersfieldspeedway.com/ and the office phone number is (661) 393-3373. The pit gate will open at 2:00 p.m., spectator gates at 4:00, and racing will start at 6:00. Adult tickets are $20.00. Seniors and military get in for $18.00. For kids 6-12 it is $5.00 and children 5 and under are free. As usual, Dyer is not the only member of the family racing on Saturday. His teenage son Seth will be back in action at John Aden's Wheel2Wheel Raceway on the San Bernardino County Fairgrounds in Victorville. Racing a Speedway Sprint Car, Seth enters Saturday's event fifth in the restrictor class standings. If you wish to catch Seth in action at Wheel2Wheel, the track is located on the San Bernardino County Fairgrounds at 14800 Seventh Street in Victorville (92395). Gates will open at 5:00 p.m. and racing will follow at 6:00. The website for W2W is http://wheel2wheelraceway.com/ and the phone number is (760) 247-3987. Dyer is racing in memory of his grandfather Glenn Sels throughout the 2022 season. He has contested four of the first eight series races this year and has a best finish of 13th at Perris Auto Speedway on March 26th. Dyer would like to thank the following for making the 2022 season possible in the #4 Lightning Sprint Car.

  VASTLY DIFFERENT NIGHTS FOR FLOWDYNAMICS DRIVERS AT PERRIS

  (Ontario, CA, May 6, 2022) It was an up and down night for the Flowdynamics Sprint Car team on April 30th when the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series returned to Perris Auto Speedway. The upside was Logan Williams on the racetrack and battling all night long. The downside was Matt McCarthy having a collapsed fuel line that prevented him from competing the entire night. 279716798_8133969086620588_727036198051136743_n.jpg Logan Williams placed 11th in the April l30th USAC/CRA race at Perris. Bobby Kimbrough photo. McCarthy's issue reared its ugly head on the first lap of hot laps, and he quickly headed back to the pit area where the crew poured over the car. They sent the beautiful #28M back onto the track when it was time to qualify, but the issue persisted. While the crew tried to solve McCarthy's problems, Williams took the black #5W onto the track for his two laps during time trials. The Yorba Linda, California racer ended up 12th fastest when he toured the half-mile in 17.912. Both Flowdynamics drivers were slated to do battle in the third heat. Williams was coming from the inside of row two. McCarthy was slated to start at the back due to not getting a qualifying time. Despite the crew going over the car with a fine-tooth comb and changing everything they could think of, the car would not fire again, and McCarthy had to be pushed back into the pits and watch as Williams raced to a fourth-place finish. All that was left for McCarthy was a shot at the main event. As had been the case all evening long, attempts to start the Riverside, Californian's #28M proved to be futile and he was done for the night without turning a competitive lap. Flying the flag by himself for the Flowdynamics team, Williams was outside the sixth row for the start of the 30-lap affair. He inched his way forward and by the end of the 13th circuit, he had moved ahead to ninth. Throughout the 30-lapper he was involved in a mid-pack battle royal with several other drivers. In the end, the young star crossed the line 11th. Williams remains sixth in USAC/CRA points heading into the May 14th race at the Bakersfield Speedway. He is only 16-points out of fifth. Despite his night of issues, McCarthy remained in the top 10 in points and will be ninth when the team gets to Bakersfield. McCarthy and Williams would like to thank the following sponsors for making the 2021 season possible. Flowdynamics Inc., JFK Design Build, Cal Therm Mechanical Insulators, CRC Component Repair Co., Encore Gas and Supply, Drink-Pac, and Benic Enterprises.

  TULARE AND HANFORD WELCOME NARC FOR PETER MURPHY CLASSIC

  (5/9/22) Sacramento, CA ... This weekend will bring a double dose of the NARC Fujitsu General 410 Sprint Cars as the series will compete on both nights of the highly anticipated Peter Murphy Classic, Friday, May 13th at Tulare's Thunderbowl Raceway and the $11,000 to win finale at Hanford's Keller Auto Speedway on Saturday, May 14th. This year marks the eighth edition of the popular staple of the California sprint car circuit. The two races are promoted by Murphy himself and are his way of giving back to the racing community that helped him following his career-ending crash in 2013. Murphy's efforts always lead to a lucrative purse, especially the Saturday portion which not only awards $11,000 to the winner, but also $1,000 to start the Fujitsu General feature event. Saturday night will be the second highest purse of the 2022 NARC season, behind only Skagit Speedway's Super Dirt Cup. The race also helps raise money for the NARC Benevolent Fund, the not-for-profit that helps injured racer's families in times of need. The weekend will have no shortage of sprint car action as the Sprint Car Challenge Tour 360 Sprint Cars will join NARC in both Tulare and Hanford. Friday and Saturday will mark races three and four of the 2022 NARC Fujitsu General Sprint Car campaign. (The April 10th race has yet to be rescheduled.) Championship Chase It only took two races for last year's NARC titlist, Dominic Scelzi, to take over the 2022 point lead. Back-to-back podium finishes to kick off the campaign have given the Fresno driver the top spot with a current tally of 228 points. Four points behind Scelzi holding the runner-up position is Aromas' Justin Sanders, and a mere five points separate the drivers in spots two through five. Sanders (224 points) leads the way with Corey Day (223), Shane Golobic (222), and Tanner Carrick (219) just behind him. Not much farther back are four full-time drivers in positions six through nine. Mitchell Faccinto is sixth with 217 points, and Willie Croft (213), Bud Kaeding (213), and Tim Kaeding (207) fill out the three spaces behind him. Who to Watch The point leader, Dominic Scelzi, stands out as a strong favorite for both nights. Last year "The Dominator" swept all four features of the Peter Murphy Classic. Scelzi also went on to claim the Chris and Brian Faria Memorial at Tulare in July last year and the opening feature of the Morrie Williams Memorial in Hanford. If Scelzi can win the opening night at Tulare, he'll join Brent Kaeding, Jason Meyers, and Kyle Hirst as the only drivers to win three consecutive NARC events at the Thunderbowl. "I know we've got points on the line both nights with NARC," Scelzi said. "But in reality, we're more worried about rolling in there and trying to win races... We want to hang it all out, put it on the line, and do the best job we can to, hopefully, win all four of them." Another former champion, Campbell's Bud Kaeding, promises to be a threat especially at the Thunderbowl. In his last 13 NARC starts in Tulare, Kaeding has amassed two wins, eight podiums, eleven top-fives and twelve top-10s. His lone finish outside the top-10 during that stretch likely would've been a win if it weren't for a final lap accident in the 2019 Peter Murphy Classic. Kaeding is also a four-time series feature winner in Hanford. Keeping with the pattern of past champions who own impressive records at the pair of central valley tracks, 2019 titlist D.J. Netto may pick up his first win since last year's season opener this weekend. The Thunderbowl is the site of the Hanford native's inaugural series victory back in 2015, and he's carrying a streak of 13 consecutive NARC top-10s at Tulare with a 5.5 average finish over that span. Netto is yet to win a NARC race at Keller Auto Speedway, but he's been strong at his home track with his best series finishes there being a pair of runner-ups. Former NARC winners at one or both tracks who will be aiming for more success this weekend include San Jose's Tim Kaeding, Fremont's Shane Golobic, Hanford's Mitchell Faccinto, Colivs' Corey Day, and Colfax's Willie Croft. Other drivers expected to compete include Hanford's Michael Faccinto, Sebastopol's Joel Myers Jr., Benicia's Billy Aton, Roseville's Colby Copeland, Idaho's Logan Forler, Oregon's Tanner Holmes, Yuba City's Landon Brooks, Sacramento's Angelique Bell and more. Fan & Competitor Info The NARC-King of the West Hoosier Tire format for Friday and Saturday will feature ARP Fast Time Qualifying, 8-lap Heat Races, a Sunnyvalley Bacon Pole Shuffle, a Kaeding Performance Semi and the Fujitsu General USA 30-lap Feature.

  EDDIE TAFOYA JR. GETS EIGHTH IN PERRIS BEFORE RAIN OUT OUT AT ELDORA

  (Chino Hills, CA, May 6, 2022) Last Saturday night after recording an eighth-place finish in the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series main event at Perris Auto Speedway, Eddie Tafoya Jr., and the crew of his #51T sprint car high-tailed it out of town for two races at Ohio's famous Eldora Speedway. The event at the famous track was to be the annual "LETSRACETWO" and Tafoya's first appearance with the USAC National Sprint Car Series in 2022. However, two days before the race, a nasty four-letter word intervened. RAIN! 279661558_8133969619953868_2247871135240648659_n.jpg Eddie Tafoya qualifying at Perris last Saturday. Bobby Kimbrough photo. After the race at Perris, the #51T crew serviced the car, loaded up the hauler, and began the 2,188-mile journey to the track in Ohio. However, an hour or two after they reached their destination, they got the dreaded call to let them know that persistent rain during the week had already saturated the facility and with more on the way for the weekend, the races were canceled. "It is pretty frustrating not only for me, but dad spends a lot of money and his time getting out here," Tafoya said from Indiana on Friday night. "It is especially frustrating when we were getting ready to run a place like Eldora where everyone in the sprint car world wants to (race there). It is pretty tough to come back here, get rained out, and have to turn around and come home." "USAC comes back to Eldora in September," the handsome driver continued. "Right now we are doing pretty good in CRA. So, we kind of have to stick to that when we have races on the schedule and try to fit in some Indiana stuff around it." While the racing portion of the trip was a washout, it was not a total waste. The team went shopping and bought some parts and had others serviced. In addition, they dropped in to say "Hello" and chat with some sponsors. "We picked up a new chassis, had a rear-end fixed, and got my shocks redone," Tafoya said. "So we are just kind of seeing some sponsors. I went over to Bell and had my helmet worked on. All kinds of stuff like that. Just getting some things handled so we have our ducks in a row when we get home." On Saturday, the #51T hauler pointed west for its trip back to its Southern California base. As soon as it gets back, the team will make some changes to the primary car to get it ready for next Saturday's USAC/CRA race at Bakersfield. In addition, they will start building a new car with the chassis they picked up in Indiana. Before the visit to the Midwest, Tafoya, and the remainder of the USAC/CRA teams were greeted by gorgeous springtime weather at Perris, which is a half-hour from Tafoya's home in Chino Hills, California. A total of 24 USAC/CRA cars were in the pits for the race. The first order of business was single-car qualifying and Tafoya toured the famous half-mile clay oval in a time of 16.847. That was sixth fastest in the field and placed him on the inside of row three for the third 10-lap heat race where he finished sixth. For the main, Tafoya started in the eighth position. He stayed where he started for the first half of the 30-lapper, but by lap 20, he had dropped to 10th. He was still there when the race hit the championship laps before a yellow flag flew with four to go. By the time the race had ended, he passed two cars and ended up eighth. The finish gave him four top 10s - including two in a row - in eight starts this year and it allowed him to stay eighth in the USAC/CRA standings. Tafoya and the #51T team would like to thank Specialty Fasteners, DRC Chassis, Ryder Racing Engines, Simpson Safety Products, Bell, Benic Enterprises, BR Motorsports, PSC Powder Coating, Magik Graphics, Gasper Transportation, Owen's Insurance Services, and Weld Wheels for making the 2022 season possible. If you or your company would like to be a part of the Specialty Fastener team's 2022 season effort, please contact Eddie Tafoya Jr. via phone at (909) 393-3999 or by e-mail at teamtafoya@aol.com. He will be happy to talk to you and layout the team's 2022 plans. Fans can follow Tafoya on Instagram @eddietafoya51. The same contact point can be used to purchase his great-looking shirts via mail.

  WILLIAMS GETS 10th AT PERRIS USAC/CRA RACE - BAKERSFIELD SPEEDWAY NEXT

  (Hesperia, CA, May 6th, 2022) After a trek to Arizona the previous week, Trent Williams was able to race closer to home last Saturday night when the USAC/CRA Series returned to Perris Auto Speedway. After 30-hard laps of racing, the Apple Valley, California resident came home 10th in the main event. 279650390_8133964259954404_3852874092383826564_n.jpg Trent Williams qualifying at Perris Auto Speedway last Saturday night. Bobby Kimbrough photo. Making his second 2022 appearance at the famous Riverside County half-mile clay oval, Williams started the 30-lap feature outside row five in 10th. The 2014 PAS Young Guns Sprint Car champion see-sawed between eighth and tenth in a huge pack throughout the race. He was ninth with four laps to go but slipped back to 10th at the checkered flag. While he finished 10th, he was only a quarter straightaway out of fourth. Before battling in the main event, Williams qualified 10th in the 24-car field with a time of 16.952. And he was one of only 10-cars to qualify in the 16s on the night. In his 10-lap heat race, "T-DUB" started fourth, and ran as high as third before ending up in the fourth-place spot. Williams continues to climb in the USAC/CRA championship standings After last Saturday's race, he is up to 15th. That is impressive considering he did not contest the first three races of the year. Going back to last Labor Day Weekend, Williams has eight straight top 10 finishes. And going back to May 1st, 2021, the Cal State Fullerton graduate has finished in the top 10 in 11 of 13 races. The series and Williams are off this weekend but will return to action on the 14th when USAC/CRA visits the Bakersfield Speedway for the first time in 2022. That will be followed by a return to Perris for the annual "Salute To Indy" on May 28th. Williams would like to thank marketing partners Victory Boys Performance, Sorrento Homes, and JasonR.Photos for making it possible to race his Maxim Chassis/Shaver Engines #52V during the 2022 season. He also wants to send a special thanks to Russell and Jean Martin for the use of their truck and trailer to get the #52V to the track last week. If you or your business would like to be a partner of the Victory Boys racing endeavors, please call (760) 780-8782 or mailto:trent.williams.racing@gmail.com.

  BRODY ROA FINISHES SIXTH IN USAC/CRA RACE AT PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY

  (Cypress, CA, May 6, 2022) Brody Roa made his first 410 wingless sprint car start in more than three months when the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series visited Perris Auto Speedway for the "Sokola Shootout" last Saturday night. The veteran driver came home sixth in the 30-lap event after starting ninth. 279633570_8133968813287282_3744243935922175958_n.jpg Brody Roa at Perris Auto Speedway on April 30th.

After qualifying ninth in the 24-car field with a lap of 16.932, Roa started fourth and proceeded to score a convincing victory in his 10-lap heat. It was his second series heat race win in four races thus far in 2022. "I am a little out of breath, I forgot how hard the non-wing stuff is to drive," Roa joked when interviewed in front of the crowd after his heat race victory early in the night. "We made a couple of changes before the heat race. I think the wing stuff we have been doing the last couple of months is paying off a little bit. It has kind of slowed the non-wing stuff down and got our minds thinking in a different way. Hopefully, we can do that again (win) in the feature." For the main event on the beautiful spring night, Roa and his familiar green #91R started on the inside of row four. The 31-year-old driver started making forward progress just before the halfway point in the race and was up to seventh on lap 13. Three laps later he clawed his way another spot forward to sixth. He hit the top five on the 20th circuit before slipping back to sixth on lap 26. That is where he stayed until the checkers. For finishing sixth, Roa collected the "Shawn McDonald Sixth Place Award" in memory of the "World's #1 Sprint Car Fan," Even though it was only the fourth appearance in the eight races the series has run in 2022, Roa is currently 14th in the championship point standings. Counting two starts in the ASCA/CAS 360 Series earlier this year in Arizona, he has contested six non-wing races in 2022. Thus far, he has a second-place finish, one fourth, a pair of fifth-place results, and two sixth-place endings. The busy Garden Grove, California-based racer is taking the next three weeks off before returning to the cockpit to defend his title at the "Salute to Indy" at Perris on May 28th. The team is currently exploring the possibilities of adding some marketing partners for July's trip to the Midwest for "Indiana Sprint Week."

  NARC SPRINT CARS HEAD TO CHICO FOR DAVID TARTER MEMORIAL

  (4/25/22) Sacramento, CA ... The NARC Fujitsu General 410 Sprint Cars will travel to the historic Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, California this Saturday, April 30th for the tenth annual David Tarter Memorial. The event honors the late driver who tragically passed in 2012, less than a year after he claimed Silver Dollar Speedway's Rookie of the Year honors. On top of being a promising talent behind the wheel, the Chico native was admired in the community, and his home track has hosted a night of racing in his honor since 2013. Saturday's Fujitsu General USA Feature will award $3500 to the winner as a tribute to Tarter's car number. Proceeds and donations raised at the event will go to the David Tarter 35 Foundation which benefits the pediatric ward of Chico's Enloe Medical Center. The foundation has already helped raise more than $20,000 for Enloe. Saturday will mark the second race of the 2022 NARC campaign. The West Coast's premier 410 sprint car series has made more than 200 trips to Silver Dollar Speedway since the first visit back in 1968, but this will be the first since the promising new promotional group, SLC Promotions, took the reigns. The trio that composes the group, Brad Sweet, Kyle Larson, and Colby Copeland, are excited to welcome NARC for the special event as they continue to usher in a new era at the quarter mile dirt oval. "Tarter was a great guy on and off the track because he would do anything for anyone to help them out," Copeland said. "He didn't have a very big budget at all but would give his shirt off his back if a guy needed it. "It's cool to help the David Tarter Memorial race keep going because he was loved by so many people," Copeland added. "It's awesome to see how many friends and family come out to support the Tarter race. Hopefully we can do a good job and live up to the hype the Tarter Memorial brings." Championship Chase After high winds forced the cancellation of the Anthony Simone Classic, the NARC Fujitsu General Sprint Car standings look the same as they did after the season opener at Stockton early this month. Colby Copeland leads the way courtesy of his dominant win at the NARC opener. However, with his promoting obligations this weekend Copeland will have to exit the cockpit and relinquish the points lead. Full-time series drivers Dominic Scelzi (2nd in points), Mitchell Faccinto (3rd), and Willie Croft (5th) are primed to take over the point lead early in their championship hunts. A host of others chasing the title are also hoping to make leaps in the standings this weekend. Who to Watch A driver everyone will be keeping their eyes on is Elk Grove native Paul McMahan. The 1994 & 1995 NARC runner-up is flying in from his home in Tennessee and is climbing back in Clyde Lamar's iconic TRI-C Machine with hopes to wheel it to Silver Dollar Speedway victory lane one more time as the ultimate tribute to the late car owner. Before he became a star on the World of Outlaws tour, McMahan cut his teeth in California and picked up his fair share of checkered flags in the No. 3C. McMahan is a four-time NARC feature winner at Silver Dollar Speedway with a trio of those coming in the TRI-C Machine. Also helping to honor Clyde Lamar will be a celebration of life at the track at 12:30 P.M. on Saturday. "I'm semi-retired," McMahan said. "But I couldn't retire without driving Clyde Lamar's car in Chico one last time." There is no track more synonymous with success on Tim Kaeding's NARC resumé than Silver Dollar Speedway. Of TK's 71 series victories, 18 of them have come in Chico. During one stretch of the San Jose driver's career from 2003 to 2008, Kaeding put together a run of 20 consecutive NARC top-fives at Silver Dollar Speedway including 11 of his 18 total wins. Aromas' Justin Sanders has developed a reputation as one of the best on the bullrings, and he'll look to add to that this weekend. Sanders has won in two of his last three series starts at Silver Dollar Speedway including NARC's most recent trip for last year's Louie Vermeil Classic finale. A driver hungry to get to victory lane with a good shot Saturday is Colfax's Willie Croft. Croft hasn't snagged a NARC checkered flag since a 2018 triumph at none other than Silver Dollar Speedway. The track is also home to his inaugural series win back in 2004. Also expected to compete this Saturday are Fresno's Dominic Scelzi, Campbell's Bud Kaeding, Hanford brothers Mitchell and Michael Faccinto, Benicia's Billy Aton, Hanford's D.J. Netto, Fremont's Shane Golobic, Sebastopol's Joel Myers Jr., Australian Kerry Madsen, Clovis' Corey Day, Roseville's Sean Becker, Hollister's Ryan Bernal, Idaho's Logan Forler, the brothers from Lincoln Tanner and Blake Carrick, Angelique Bell from Sacramento, and more. Fan & Competitor Info The NARC-King of the West Hoosier Tire format will feature ARP Fast Time Qualifying, four 10-lap Heat Races, a six-lap Sunnyvalley Bacon Trophy Dash, a Kaeding Performance Semi and the Fujitsu General USA Feature. The pit gates will open at 2:00 P.M. with the front gates following at 4:00 P.M. The drivers meeting will take place at 4:45, and cars will hit the track for wheel pack at 5:15 with hot laps and qualifying set to follow. Adult General Admission tickets are $25. Seniors ages 60+ and juniors ages 12-15 will be admitted for $20. Kids ages 11 and under will be admitted for just $5.

  HIGH WIND ADVISORY FORCES CANCELLATION OF ANTHONY SIMONE CLASSIC

  (4/9/22) Hanford, CA) ... Due to high wind advisories in the Hanford CA-area, tonight's Anthony Simone Classic at Keller Auto Speedway has been cancelled. The $10,000 to win double-feature show represented round two of the NARC Fujitsu General 410 Sprint Car Series campaign. Local doppler radar at neighboring Hanford Municipal Airport predicts wind gust of 35 miles per hour come race time. Promoter Peter Murphy decided it wasn't feasible to stage the event and didn't want teams towing from long distances only to get cancelled later in the day. "The high winds bring too many variables into play and I don't want to jeopardize the safety of the racers or the experience of the fans." Murphy and the Northern Auto Racing Club will be working on a possible replacement race date for the Anthony Simone Classic in the future. Details will be published when available.

  SECOND ANNUAL $10,000 TO WIN ANTHONY SIMONE CLASSIC ON DECK FOR NARC

  (4/4/22) Sacramento, CA ... The NARC Fujitsu General 410 Sprint Cars roll right into round two this weekend with the second edition of the Anthony Simone Classic this Saturday, April 9th at Hanford's Keller Auto Speedway. The event honors the late Anthony "Mr. Excitement" Simone who sadly passed last year and awards a whopping $10,000 to the winner. As a tip of the cap to the versatile driver, a special NARC non-wing race will take place immediately after the Fujitsu Feature concludes. The wingless event will consist only of drivers who competed in the winged portion, and like last year the teams will remove the wings and make adjustments in the work area on the front stretch. A unique format also awaits the drivers with an emphasis on the number 10, Simone's car number. There will be five Brown and Miller Racing Solutions five-lap Heat Races lined up straight up based on ARP Qualifying times and will take the top-two finishers to the Sunnyvalley Bacon Trophy Dash, equaling 10 cars. Those 10 cars will take part in a pill draw with the options of four, six, or eight to set the lineup for the Dash. Then, they'll duke it out open wheel-style for 10 laps to determine the first five rows of the 30-lap Fujitsu Feature. Keller Auto Speedway underwent a minor reconfiguration in the off-season which may throw a curve ball to the entire pit area as promoter Peter Murphy continues to improve the facility. Saturday will mark the first of three NARC visits to Hanford in 2022. The Championship Chase Following this past weekend's NARC opener, a part-time driver leads the standings in the form of Roseville's Colby Copeland courtesy of his Stockton win. Copeland doesn't plan to race this Saturday, so he'll relinquish the top spot. Looking to take his place will be current runner-up and reigning series titlist Dominic Scelzi. The Fresno native opened his championship defense with a second-place run at Stockton, his sixth career podium at the facility and 11th in his last 15 series starts dating back to 2021. Just two markers behind Scelzi is Tarlton Motorsports pilot Mitchell Faccinto. He picked up his 12th career series podium in his maiden NARC voyage aboard the No. 21 as he began the pursuit of his first championship. Among other confirmed full-time drivers toward the front Colfax's Willie Croft sits fifth in points (-6 behind Copeland), Tim Kaeding is seventh (-8), and Bud Kaeding is ninth (-10). Who to Watch This weekend is a home game for brothers Mitchell and Michael Faccinto who hail from Hanford. Two of Mitchell's three career NARC wins have come at Keller Auto Speedway. Michael picked up a USAC Western States Midget victory at Hanford last year, and his first two career NARC feature starts came at the three-eighths mile, including his debut in his current ride, the Mike Phulps No. 56, last season. "Getting an early season win at Hanford for the Simone would be huge for this team (Tarlton Motorsports)," Mitchell Faccinto said heading into the weekend. "With the different track layout, we were able to at least get one night on it before we start points racing which will help. Even though we struggled a little during the World of Outlaws (California) swing, I have full confidence that we should be contending for wins the rest of the year." "We got the notes from last year, and we have a couple races under our belts now," Michael Faccinto said. "A top-five run with the stout NARC field that is following the series this year would be a good run for our team." Entering the event as the defending Anthony Simone Classic winner is Fremont's Shane Golobic after taking home the $10,000 check last year. The Matt Wood Racing pilot has also podiumed in five of his last six NARC feature starts at Hanford. Keller Auto Speedway is tied for the second winningest track on Tim Kaeding's extensive NARC resumé. Nine of TK's 71 career feature wins have come in Hanford. While the San Jose driver hasn't visited victory lane there since 2013, he has finished fourth or better in seven of his last nine series starts. Dominic Scelzi has won a NARC feature event at Keller Auto Speedway in each of the last two years. Last year during Scelzi's 22 overall feature win season, six of those came at Hanford. Campbell native Bud Kaeding has chalked up four series victories in Hanford. In fact, three of his first four NARC wins came at Keller Auto Speedway. Kaeding hasn't visited NARC victory lane there since 2012 but does own a steady record as of late with six top-10s in his last eight starts. A driver still seeking his first Keller Auto Speedway triumph is 11-time NARC feature winner Justin Sanders. Though the Aromas racer is still in search of that inaugural victory, he's been remarkably consistent in Hanford with three top-fives in four series starts last year, two of those being podium runs. One of Sebastopol's Joel Myers Jr.'s two NARC top-fives from 2021 came at Keller Auto Speedway in the Simone, and he's hoping for a similarly strong effort to bounce back from a tough opening outing at Stockton with Vertullo Motorsports. Also expected to compete are Hanford's D.J. Netto, Benicia's Billy Aton, Idaho's Logan Forler, Lincoln's Tanner and Blake Carrick, Oregon's Tanner Holmes, Washington's Colby Thornhill, and more! Fan & Competitor Info The NARC Hoosier Tire format will feature ARP Fast Time Qualifying, Brown & Miller Racing Solutions 5-lap Heat Races, an eight-lap Sunnyvalley Bacon Trophy Dash, a Kaeding Performance Semi, the 30-lap Fujitsu Feature and the special 20-lap wingless Fujitsu Feature The pit gate will open at 1:00 P.M. with the front gate following at 4:00 P.M.

  NARC SPRINT CARS OPEN 2022 SEASON AT STOCKTON SATURDAY

  (3/28/22) Sacramento, CA ... The high-powered NARC Fujitsu General Sprint Cars will embark on their 63rd season this Saturday, April 2nd at Stockton Dirt Track's $6,000 to win Asparagus Cup. It will mark NARC's 21st visit to Stockton since the central valley facility opened in 2013. The three-eighths mile will be the busiest track on the 2022 calendar with the Third Annual Asparagus Cup slated to be the first of four trips this year. Joining the West Coast's premier 410 sprint car series will be the Legends of Kearney Bowl and the NorCal Dwarf Cars. Who to Watch The title defense will begin this weekend for 2021 series champion Dominic Scelzi of Fresno, and the venue may be the ideal location for the "Dominator." With three victories, Scelzi is the winningest series driver through 20 races at Stockton and also owns top-fives in his five of his last seven starts. 2019 titlist, D.J. Netto of Hanford, has a wildly consistent recent record at Stockton. In his last nine series races, he's finished no worse than fourth leading to a 2.8 average finish over that span. Netto also claimed the 2021 season opener at Stockton. San Jose's Tim Kaeding will begin his hunt for a third series championship at a track that's been very kind to him. In nine NARC starts at Stockton, Kaeding owns a pair of wins and six podium finishes. Although Shane Golobic of Elk Grove has only scored a pair of NARC wins at Stockton, he is always contending for the top spot. Now teamed with Roth Motorsports, Australian Kerry Madsen plans to be at the season opener and should be an immediate contender. While he hasn't made a NARC start at Stockton, he's contested half a dozen World of Outlaws feature events and come away with five top-10s and a victory. He has 28 World of Outlaw national wins to his credit. Eight-time NARC feature winner, Willie Croft, would love to open his 2022 campaign with a momentum-building win as he pursues his first title. He's yet to earn a NARC win at Stockton, but Croft has been strong with four runner-ups to his credit at the central valley facility. Though he doesn't own a NARC victory at Stockton, Hanford's Mitchell Faccinto has shown consistency in his 13 NARC appearances at the track with 11 top-10s and a best finish of second in June of 2016. He is driving the 2022 campaign for the potent Fresno-based Tarlton Motorsports team. Also expected to compete are Campbell's Bud Kaeding, Sebastopol's Joel Myers Jr., Benicia's Billy Aton, Hanford's Michael Faccinto, Clovis' Sean Watts, Aromas' Justin Sanders, Iowa's Austin McCarl, Idaho's Logan Forler, Tanner Holmes from Oregon, and more. Fan & Competitor Info The NARC-King of the West Hoosier Tire format will feature ARP Fast Time Qualifying, Brown and Miller Racing Solutions 8-lap Heat Races, a 6-lap Sunnyvalley Bacon Trophy Dash, a Kaeding Performance Semi if necessary and the Fujitsu General USA 30-lap Feature. The pit gates will open at 1:00 P.M. with the main gate set to follow at 4:00 P.M. The driver's meeting will also begin at 4:00 P.M. followed by wheel pack at 4:30 P.M.

  THE NEXT JUMP: FACCINTO SHIFTS FOCUS TO 410'S WITH MOVE TO MIKE PHULPS MOTORSPORTS

  (3/2/2022 - Alex Nieten) ... Michael Faccinto has already cemented himself as one of the greatest micro sprint and midget drivers from California, and beginning in 2022 he'll begin his quest to achieve a similar status in the 410 sprint car ranks. Slightly more than a month ago Faccinto announced that he'd partnered with Mike Phulps Motorsports to pilot their No. 56 sprint car. The pairing has assembled a tentative schedule of more than 40 races with the focus being the entire NARC Fujitsu General Sprint Car tour. The move is the natural progression for the 31-year-old who has spent much of his career driving micros and midgets, even at one point racing a midget for Gary Scelzi, father of Faccinto's current competitor and reigning NARC champion Dominic Scelzi. The micro maestro also picked up a pair of Golden Drillers at the Tulsa Shootout along the way. After winning the 2018 USAC Western States Midget title, Faccinto began his transition to winged sprint cars with a 360 ride. "I was ready to do the wing stuff," Faccinto said of the pivotal time. "So, Harley Van Dyke actually took a chance on me, and we were together for two and a half years. I credit a lot to Harley. He let me go do some cool stuff around Knoxville and go run in the Midwest. We had success together. I credit a lot to him for getting me going with the wing." Faccinto and Van Dyke collected impressive results, tallying a handful of top-fives with series from both the Midwest and the West Coast. Last year, Faccinto linked with the Phulps team, leading to his debut in the No. 56 at Keller Auto Speedway's Anthony Simone Classic. While the night ended with an accident in the feature, the driver and team quickly gelled and ultimately birthed the 2022 plans. "Last year, we tried to actually pencil in a couple races throughout the year when Ryan (Robinson) wasn't available with the 56, and it never really worked out," Faccinto explained. "Then it opened up there at Hanford, and I got to race. We kind of just clicked as a team. (Crew chief) Ryan Riley made me feel really comfortable, and Kerry (Fasig) was there. Actually, my dad (Monte) was there also helping that night, and we had a lot of speed. "I kept talking to them throughout the rest of the year," Faccinto continued. "And I got the call around Chili Bowl time that we were going to do the whole NARC schedule and select 360 shows, and I jumped all over it. I'm ready to take the next jump and run the full NARC schedule." As an added bonus to getting an opportunity to take his desired path in racing, Faccinto is excited that's its coming aboard such an iconic ride. The blue No. 56 has ripped around California's bullrings for decades, and Faccinto is no stranger to the team's history. "It's really cool," Faccinto said. "We went and had dinner at the end of January with Mike, and I got to meet the whole team, and with just the stories they told and the history of the car, being able to run for them is an honor. I hope to represent as best as I can and build a team that in three to five years from now we're still talking that I'm with them." With his limited 410 experience, year one is sure to pose a challenge for Faccinto as they take on the NARC tour but one he's eager to attack with a strategic approach. This year's NARC schedule features 25 races at 13 tracks, some of which will be entirely new to Faccinto. To combat his lack of laps at some facilities, Faccinto is setting high expectations for his better tracks to set himself up favorably before heading to unfamiliar territory. "The tracks in California I'm really familiar with are Stockton, Hanford and Placerville," Faccinto said. "So, I would say I have those circled on my schedule as events when we go to them I would like to think of ourselves as a top-three or top-five car... Placerville, I ran a lot in the last two years in the 360, and we've always had a lot of speed there. I like the little bullring atmosphere. Hanford, I grew watching my dad race there. I've had a lot of races there with a wing car, midgets, non-wing car, so I'm very comfortable at Hanford, and Stockton is very similar to Hanford." While Faccinto is still writing the beginnings of his winged sprint car resumé, the Mike Phulps crew has a lengthy notebook that should ease his continued transition. Crew chief Ryan Riley's California racetrack notes date back to his time working on the original No. 56 owned by recent National Sprint Car Hall of Fame inductee Walter T. Ross. In recent years, the Mike Phulps team has collected wins with a handful of drivers including Ryan Bernal, Justin Sanders, and Cole Macedo. Last year Ryan Robinson made 11 NARC starts in the No. 56 and picked up five top-10s. Their best run together came in August at Ocean Speedway when Robinson set the 410 track record and claimed the runner-up spot in the feature. Joel Myers Jr. made a NARC start in the powder blue machine at Petaluma and may have won if it weren't for an incident with slower traffic. Though Faccinto's lack of 410 experience may prove to be a slight obstacle, his early success in a winged 360 sprint car combined with a blossoming and already strong dynamic with the potent Phulps crew may lead to impressive results earlier than expected. And if they achieve the finishes they're looking for, it could be only the beginning of Faccinto writing his name in California's sprint car history books and adding his name to the list of winners in the No. 56. "I definitely would like to prioritize 410 stuff going forward and with the 56 team," Faccinto said. "I think if we can continue to build on runs and build a foundation and a team here, I plan on being here as long as they'll have me." The 2022 NARC Fujitsu General USA Sprint Car Series season is on April 2nd at the Stockton Dirt Track.
