  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. The inaugural Davy Thomas Memorial, honoring the NorCal sprint car superfan who also supported NARC, will feature SCCT 360 sprint cars action that night. ABOUT NARC The Northern Auto Racing Club is the premier 410-winged sprint car series in the western United States. Since 1960, the traveling organization has thrilled fans at dirt tracks up and down the West Coast and crowned a "King of the West" champion.

  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. The Marysville Raceway is in Marysville, California. From the Junction of HWY 70 and HWY 20 (12th Street), go a quarter mile east on HWY 20. Turn south onto Ramirez Road for 1.5 miles. The physical address is 1468 Simpson Ln, Marysville, CA 95901. The event will follow the standard SCCT muffler rule, which is either the Large Flowmaster or Large Spintech Muffler as described in the rulebook.
