- NARC 2023 SCHEDULE: CALIFORNIA STAPLES, HUGE NORTHWEST SWING HIGHLIGHT CAMPAIGN
(12/5/2022) Sacramento, CA… The NARC 410 Sprint Cars are set for another busy campaign in 2023 with the unveiling of a 24-race schedule for the West Coast's best drivers and teams as the series enters its 63rd season of racing. For the second straight year NARC will visit all three states that comprise the West Coast at tracks as far south as Bakersfield and all the way up north nearly to the Canadian border. Overall, 13 different facilities are on the calendar. Teams will compete for more than $800,000 in prize money throughout the entirety of the schedule, plus another $50,000 in product and cash awards up for grabs. Shares of a lucrative championship points fund will also be on the line. March-ing Into Chico The season opener will see the revitalization of a historic, fan-favorite race. On March 18th the series kicks off the 2023 campaign with the return of Mini Gold Cup at Chico's Silver Dollar Speedway. Originally starting in 1987, the Mini Gold Cup has been a spring staple in California but took a brief hiatus after the 2019 edition. Throughout its history, the event has alternated between NARC and World of Outlaws sanctioning. With the 2023 edition being a NARC event, it again gives locals a shot at Mini Gold Cup glory and placing their name alongside some legends of sprint car racing. The Classics The state of California has established a handful of "Classic" races that have become fan-favorites, and per usual some of those coveted events have found a home on the NARC schedule. The first of five Classics on the calendar is on the second weekend of April and will be the third edition of the Anthony Simone Classic at Keller Auto Speedway in Hanford on April 8th. The night honors the versatile driver known as "Mr. Excitement" and offers a $10,000 payday to the winner. The very next weekend will be another lucrative event as Tulare's Thunderbowl Raceway will host the second Dennis Roth Classic. As a nod to Roth's iconic car, the feature winner will again be awarded $8,300. The Roth Classic has grown by a day for 2023 and will showcase two nights of racing on April 14th and 15th with the winner of the latter taking home the big check. The wildly popular Peter Murphy Classic is set for May 12th and 13th and will take place at the site of the two aforementioned Classics. Night one will be at Thunderbowl Raceway with Keller Auto Speedway taking center stage for the $11,000 to win finale. Like last year, NARC will be joined by the Sprint Car Challenge Tour both nights. Another one of the most anticipated races of the campaign can be found in July as the Howard Kaeding Classic continues as a summertime staple. Unlike recent years, the event will now feature two nights of the NARC 410 Sprint Cars at Ocean Speedway as opposed to 410s only partaking on the final night. "The HK" is slated for July 14th and 15th. On August 26th the series heads to Stockton Dirt Track for the Champions Classic. After a cancellation this year due to the tire shortage, teams will be eager for its return and to fight for a $6,000 payday by visiting victory lane. A Busy Road To Dirt Cup For the second straight year NARC will hit the Road to Dirt Cup, but this year's edition will include a few more stops and double as the Fastest Four Days in Motorsports. In lieu of making a pair of trips to the Pacific Northwest like in 2022, the series will make one extended journey to make logistics easier on the teams. The four straight nights of action begins on Thursday, June 15th at Central Point, Oregon's Southern Oregon Speedway. The next night it's up to Douglas County Dirt Track in Roseburg, Oregon, a track that was converted from pavement to dirt over the off-season under the new promotional leadership of Roseburg Racing Promotions. Night three is a visit to Lebanon, Oregon's Willamette Speedway, where Justin Sanders set a new track record when NARC invaded last year. And the Road to Dirt Cup meets an end at Grays Harbor Raceway in Elma, Washington on June 18th. Overall, the trip promises to provide four fantastic nights of racing at four different facilities and will feature a special bonus to any driver that can sweep all four events. Dirt Cup After a wildly successful 2022 Jim Raper Memorial Super Dirt Cup, NARC will again support the West Coast crown jewel as it enters its second year of a return to 410 sprint cars at Burlington, Washington's Skagit Speedway. The Dirt Cup will again feature a trio of nights (June 22nd - 24th) with the final night's winner taking home a whopping $50,000. Last year the race attracted more than 40 competitors as promoters Peter Murphy and Kevin Rudeen restored a ton of prestige to one of the most historic events on the left-coast. *On Tuesday, June 20th there will be a Dirt Cup Tune-Up race at Skagit, but it will not be a NARC event. Making History A pair of historic races with winners lists that read like a California Hall of Fame will again be a part of the NARC campaign with many drivers hungry to add their names in one of those coveted slots. The 32nd Annual Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial Race will occur on June 3rd at the scenic Placerville Speedway, marking the third straight year the El Dorado County track has hosted one of the most prestigious races in California. With lap money and other awards, this show features one of the largest one-day purses of the year. The season finale will see a historical race enter another decade of existence as Stockton Dirt Track hosts the 40th Tribute to Gary Patterson on November 4th. And More A few other racetracks and events help complete the 2023 schedule. Petaluma Speedway has a pair of dates with the Salute to First Responders set for May 20th and the Salute to Baylands Raceway Park scheduled for July 8th. The second race of the season will be the fourth annual Asparagus Cup on April 1st at Stockton Dirt Track with the SCCT joining the card. Silver Dollar Speedway's second and final NARC race of 2023 will be on April 29th as the series will again partake in the David Tarter Memorial. The fourth edition of the Morrie Williams Memorial will be run on September 30th at Keller Auto Speedway. The unique event will again showcase a twin-20 lap features to conclude the evening. NARC will make its lone trip to The Dirt Track at Kern County Raceway Park on October 28th for the Halloween Spectacular.

- Sprint Car Showcase Brings The Speed To Antioch Speedway Saturday Night
Antioch, CA...What has been a marathon season at Antioch Speedway continues this Saturday night with the lone appearance of the Winged 360 Sprint Cars along with the Dwarf Cars. This event is being billed as the Sprint Car Showcase, and the Dwarf Cars will be running the Nighthawk 30 in support. Race Director Chris Bennett got together with Dustin Bloomfield to plan a strategy to make this race happen. Speedway management is anticipating a couple of dates on the bigger Winged 360 Sprint Car Tour next year, and some of the drivers were hoping to get a look at the track beforehand. Hence, this event was created. Bennett has logged many miles going up and down the road and many hours in phone calls to set up this race. What has happened is a field of some 30 competitors is anticipated, and some top name talent will be among the field. They will be competing for $2,500 to win, and the drivers will get a $400 paycheck just for taking the green flag. Leading the charge will be multi-time Watsonville champion Shane Golobic. Golobic was a World of Outlaw Sprint Car winner at Antioch some years back, and he also won the Johnny Soares Classic 101 lap Midget race at Petaluma Speedway about a decade ago. He still remains one of the top drivers on the circuit as does Colby Copeland. Copeland, who is part of the promotional team at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, is a hard charger in both 410 and 360 Winged Sprint Cars. Also anticipated is Andy Forsberg. He has racked up so many championships in his career, you need a calculator to add them all up. This includes 10 championships on the old Civil War Sprint Car circuit and multiple championships at Placerville, Marysville and Chico. Forsberg added to his list of accolades with this year's Sprint Car Challenge Tour season championship. These three standouts will be joined by fourth-generation racer Chase Johnson, rising young star Joey Ancona, past Petaluma Speedway champion John Clark and past Antioch Wingless Spec Sprint runner-up Dylan Bloomfield. The Sprint Cars will be bringing the speed, but the Dwarf Cars get around the track quite well. Bauer and Roberto Monroy have been contacting racers to get some support, and Bowers's Nighthawk Defense Group put up the entire purse for this part of the show. A field of at least 20 cars is expected to compete for $1,000 to win and an increased purse all the way back. This should ensure some quality competition for the support class. As it the fans needed a reason to come with the season about ready to close, the opportunity to watch the hard charging Winged 360 Sprint Cars is another good reason. Gates will open at 2:00 with happy hour, live music and some special vendors. Racing is scheduled to start at 6:00. Adult tickets are $20, Senior/Military $15, Kids (5-12) $15 and kids four and under free. For further information, go to www.antochspeedway.com.
