Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour announces 2025 schedule
Placerville, CA - December 13, 2024…Russell Motorsports Inc. has officially released the 2025 schedule of events for the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour. The California based Winged Sprint Car series is set to contest its eighth overall season, which offers another exciting slate of races up and down the West Coast. "The Sprint Car Challenge Tour looks to be in for another entertaining season," commented President Scott Russell. "We did our best to work around other schedules and avoid conflicts. Some years are better than others regarding that. With how things came together on the calendar though, we know there are a few conflicts this year between the various series and tracks. When you look at it from March to November however, fans and teams have plenty of great racing to choose from. We want to send a huge thank you to Elk Grove Ford, Hoosier Tire and all the partners that make this tour possible." The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour will compete in a total of 16 events, which gets underway with the March 29th "Thrill on the Hill," marking the first of three appearances at Placerville Speedway. The tour returns to Placerville on Friday May 30th for the inaugural "Davy Thomas Memorial," which acts as a prelude to the following nights Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial featuring the NARC 410s. SCCT will also compete at the red clay on July 19th as part of Speedweek. Continuing to rise in popularity among fans and teams is Merced Speedway, which is back on the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour schedule. California's top Winged 360 Sprint Car teams will invade the high-banked quarter mile on Saturday April 19th. The Petaluma Speedway plays host to a pair of Sprint Car Challenge Tour events in 2025. Those dates will occur on June 14th with an event dubbed as "Wings Over Wine Country" and September 20th, as SCCT sanctions the $5,000-to-win "Adobe Cup" for the fourth consecutive season. The Sprint Car Challenge Tour will again sanction the 25th annual "Mel and Marlyn Hall Memorial" held on Memorial Day weekend. This year's event takes place on Sunday May 25th, as part of a busy holiday weekend in Nor-Cal. The always challenging and popular Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare hosts the SCCT 360s for the "Trophy Cup Tune-Up" on Saturday October 4th. The show held two weeks before the 31st Trophy Cup gives teams one final chance at track time prior to the big weekend. For the second straight season the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour will embark upon Western Sprint Tour Speedweek, which gets even bigger in 2025. The overall Speedweek champion will claim $4,000 with the runner up receiving $2,500 and third place getting $1,500. All main events are a guaranteed $3,000-to-win/ $400-to-start. All the action launches at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico on Friday July 18th with the annual "Tyler Wolf Memorial," followed by the $5,000-to-win/ $500-to-start "Gold Pan Rampage" at Placerville Speedway on Saturday July 19th. A travel day will be held on Sunday, before action resumes at the Douglas County Dirt Track in Roseburg, Oregon on Monday July 21st. Speedweek heads for the coast on Tuesday with a date at the beautiful Coos Bay Speedway on July 22nd and continues north to Cottage Grove Speedway on Wednesday July 23rd. Another travel day with a Fan Fest/ Kick-Off Party on Thursday sets up the SCCT debut at Skagit Speedway in Alger, Washington for the two-night "360 Summer Nationals" highlighted by a $26,000-to-win/ $600-to-start main event on Saturday. Speedweek all culminates with the "Hall of Fame Tribute-360 Battle Royale" on Sunday July 27th at Gray's Harbor Raceway in Elma, Washington. "I really want to thank the staff at Skagit Speedway for coming on board and working with us on Western Sprint Tour Speedweek," said Russell. "They are offering a great purse for the racers at the 360 Nationals, which should make for an outstanding weekend of racing. We're excited to visit Skagit and Elma for the first time with SCCT, as well as visit all the tracks that are a part of the week." Jon Hager with Skagit Speedway also shared his sentiments. "We are excited to collaborate with Scott and Kami to bring SCCT to Skagit Speedway. The 360 Summer Nationals will certainly benefit from the addition of several cars from down south and such talented drivers. The partnership has the potential to elevate an already great scene of 360 Sprint Car racing in the Pacific Northwest for years to come. We look forward to building a long-term relationship with the SCCT series." As is the norm, the Stockton Dirt Track wraps up the SCCT campaign with the "Tribute to Gary Patterson Part II" on Saturday November 8th. The event is part of an expanded two-week run for the GP race, which includes the NARC finale now taking place one week earlier. The Sprint Car Challenge Tour will be paired with the always exciting Hunt Magnetos Wingless Sprints at the finale. Thanks to the generous support from Elk Grove Ford, Hoosier Tires and RMI the SCCT champion once again pockets $10,000 cash. If a driver/team wins both the SCCT and Placerville Speedway titles, they will walk away with $20,000 total thanks to the Russell Motorsports Inc. Double Down Bonus.

NARC SPRINT CARS ANNOUNCE 2025 SCHEDULE
(12/9/24 - Jim Allen) Auburn, CA ... The Northern Auto Racing Club (NARC) has released a compelling 29-race 410 sprint car schedule for the 2025 season that is loaded with special events and prize money. The traveling west coast series, which crowns a King of the West sprint car champion, will invade 16 different dirt oval tracks in California, Oregon, and Washington, beginning with a March 8th season opener at the Stockton Dirt Track. Overall, the 66th annual NARC campaign will award more than $850,000 in prize money and awards, plus a championship point fund and product awards. The centerpiece of the season takes place in June with the Fastest Five Days in Motorsports, which will invade Southern Oregon Speedway, the Douglas County Dirtrack, Cottage Grove Speedway, Willamette Speedway, and Grays Harbor Raceway on consecutive nights beginning on June 11th. The "Road to the Dirt Cup" continues the following weekend with the June 19-21st Jim Raper Super Dirt Cup at Skagit Speedway. The winner of that Saturday finale will earn a stout $62,000 payday. Another energizing highlight on the calendar is the return of Calistoga Speedway and the ever-popular Louis Vermeil Classic on August 30-31st. The historic half-mile oval, located in the heart of Napa Valley's wine-country, has been dormant since 2019 due to political log jam on a sale of the facility. HMC Promotions is currently collaborating with local contractors to renovate the facility before racing action returns. The month of April features the first of five nights of NARC racing at Ocean Speedway in Watsonville, CA, starting with the Spring Fling on Friday, April 4th, followed by a return trip to the Stockton Dirt Track for the Asparagus Cup in Stockton (April 5th). The following Saturday (April 12th) Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico will provide the stage for the $10,000 to win Mini-Gold Cup. Chico also showcases the NARC sprint cars on June 7th for the David Tarter Memorial. The Tulare Thunderbowl Raceway wraps up the month with the April 26th Chris & Brian Faria Memorial on their one-third mile track. Antioch Speedway hosts the first of two events on May 10th, which leads into an action-packed Ocean Speedway/Thunderbowl Raceway doubleheader weekend on May 16-17th. The Tulare show is the lucrative Morrie Williams Memorial Twin-20 show, an event that was relocated from Kings Speedway in Hanford. Kings Speedway is still searching for a track promoter and is not on the 2025 schedule. Placerville Speedway is on the schedule twice in 2025, beginning with the popular Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial on May 31st. The series returns to the quarter-mile bullring on September 6th between the High Limit and World of Outlaw swings into the Golden State. Four July events sidestep the summer heat in California with premium coastal events within 15-miles of the Pacific Ocean. The "cooler weather" tour kicks off with the July 12th $5200 to win David Lindt Memorial at Petaluma Speedway. Race fans will also be excited to hear that the popular Howard Kaeding Classic at Ocean Speedway will now be a two-day 410 show on July 18-19th. Among Saturday's highlights is the HK Luncheon, which raises money for the NARC Benevolent Fund, and a $6900 to win, $1000+ to start feature event. The NARC sprint cars will make their only appearance of the season at the revitalized Santa Maria Speedway on July 26th. New to the schedule will be the return of the Johnny Key Classic as a 410-sprint car event on the NARC schedule. The 65th annual event, which has been a 360 race for the past couple of decades, takes place on August 2nd at Ocean Speedway. The season winds down in the Fall with Open Wheel Octoberfest at Antioch Speedway on October 11th and the October 25th October Classic at Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway. Once again, the Stockton Dirt Track will be the home of the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series season finale, featuring the 42nd annual Tribute to Gary Patterson on November 1st. The posh Brookside Country Club in Stockton will host the NARC Champions Celebration the following day. All NARC series' events are live streamed on Floracing.com.

Andy Forsberg strikes for SCCT Adobe Cup glory at Petaluma Speedway
Petaluma, CA…Auburn's Andy Forsberg has always been fond of competing at the sticky and hooked up Petaluma Speedway. On Saturday night the SCCT point leader put together a dominating performance in the feature, racking up $5,500 by way of winning the 13th annual Adobe Cup. The now 27-time Sprint Car champion piloted the Pacific Highway Rentals/ Pit Stop USA No. 92 to his 5th career Sprint Car Challenge Tour victory, placing him into a tie with Colby Copeland for fourth all-time. "That track was certainly right up my alley in the main event," Forsberg said on the front stretch. "I know that some of the newer generation of drivers don't particularly enjoy a track like that, but it brought back a lot of memories of the old days. I took an extra lap at the end just to soak it all in. My guys gave me an amazing car there, so I really have to thank them and all the fans for coming out to support the Adobe Cup." Ocean Speedway champion Caleb Debem jumped out front at the waving of the green flag in the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour finale. Debem set the pace up front until Forsberg blasted by for the lead on lap four, which he would never relinquish. Following that Forsberg had his way with things and had to survive an excessive amount of restarts, but each time hit his marks to perfection. The recently crowned Placerville Speedway champ rocketed away to bring home the $5,000 grand prize, along with the $500 Shop Kyle Larson Bonus as a full-time car winning the feature. Dunnigan youngster Luke Hayes put together the finest night of his Sprint Car Challenge Tour career, winning the High Sierra Dash and scoring a runner up finish in the main event. Roseville's Sean Becker did a fantastic job in the 35-lapper to carve his way from 16th to third, rounding out the podium. It marked his fourth top-five effort of the year with SCCT. Jodie Robinson looked impressive for the second week in a row and brought home a fourth-place result at the checkered flag. The Roseville driver had battled her way to second at one point on a restart, only to have a slowdown negate the beautiful move. Placerville's Shane Hopkins continued his strong 2024 campaign by earning the Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Award with an exquisite run from 19th to fifth. The 30-year-old set fast time to begin the night, however, a seventh-place finish in his heat race set him farther back to start the main. Completing the top-10 in the Adobe Cup finale were John Clark, Kurt Nelson, Dustin Freitas, Bradley Terrell and Brad Bumgarner. Nelson was another driver who had a solid night, but experienced tough luck in the main event. The past Ocean titlist had raced his way into second on lap 23, only to have a lapped car spin in front of him with three circuits remaining. Nelson had nowhere to go and brought out a caution but was able to salvage a seventh-place effort at the end. The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour heads next for Hanford's Kings Speedway on Friday October 4th. The event marks the 39th running of the Cotton Classic.
