  SANDERS WIN NARC THRILLER TO CLAIM PAY DIRT AT PLACERVILLE SPEEDWAY

  (9/6/25 - Andrew Kunas) Placerville, CA ... After leaving for a month to pursue other racing opportunities, Justin Sanders made his triumphant return to the NARC King of the West sprint car scene, as he fought his way through traffic and made a late winning pass to score a $5000 Pay Dirt Showdown victory Saturday at Placerville Speedway. Sanders started the 30-lap feature outside the second row and early on passed Dylan Bloomfield to move into the third position, before quickly going after pole sitter Justyn Cox for second. Making that move into the runner-up spot, Sanders then set his sights on race leader Sean Becker. Becker survived an assault by Cox in the opening two laps, withstanding slide job attempts and close quarters between cars on the ¼-mile bullring and then taking off from there with the lead. Becker, however, then was forced to contend with constant traffic on the small oval. That allowed Sanders to close in and challenge during the middle and latter parts of the race. Becker at times made key passes around slower cars to keep Sanders at bay. As the laps winded down, traffic thickened for Becker and left him struggling to find a path around as the race reached five laps to go. That's when Sanders finally pounced, getting a run around the bottom side of Turns 3 and 4 as Becker was held up by a pair of slower cars right in front of him. Sanders scooted by Becker as they exited the fourth turn to lead the 26th lap. Sanders led the final five laps to take his series leading seventh NARC win of the season aboard the Yuba Sutter Aviation-sponsored Mittry Motorsports No. 2x Fisher-powered KPC. Sanders knew Becker was second in NARC points entering the night and was competing for the championship. Because of that, Sanders said he wanted to pass Becker clean and waited for the opportunity to do so as they raced in traffic. "Sean was running a good race. He was switching up his lines and really making me think about what I had to do to get closer. I looked up on the board on Lap 23 and I was like 'I don't know if I'm going to get this' and then we got into traffic and I made it stick on the bottom," said Sanders, who again also praised the Mittry Motorsports team. "Awesome to be back in the 2x. Nice to be back home with these guys. Happy to get another 410 win." Bloomfield made the late pass around Becker in the closing laps to take the runner-up spot and finished there aboard the Gary Silva Ranches-sponsored Vertullo Racing No. 83v Kistler-powered Maxim. Saturday's race was Vertullo Racing's final NARC start before the team relocates to the Midwest after decades as one of the most recognizable cars in California. After leading 25 laps, Becker finished third aboard the D&J Construction Rental-sponsored Bjork Construction No. 7b Shaver-powered Maxim and shaved a few points off D.J. Netto's point lead. After starting on the pole, Cox eventually finished fourth aboard the BERCO Redwood-sponsored Bates Hamilton Racing No. 42x Kistler-powered Maxim. Gauge Garcia ran in the Top 5 throughout and finished fifth in the Monarch Ford-sponsored Keller Motorsports No. 2k Speedway-powered Triple X. Netto finished sixth to maintain his points lead. Chance Grasty, Jesse Schlotfeldt, Kaleb Montgomery and Bud Kaeding rounded out the Top 10. Montgomery earned the Williams Roofing Hard Charger nod, coming from 16th to finish ninth. Cox won the Beacon Wealth Strategies Trophy Dash to claim the pole position for the feature. Heat races earlier in the evening were won by Bloomfield, Netto and Cox. Grasty paced the 23-car field in Automotive Racing Products Qualifying with a time of 10.217 seconds around the ¼-mile bullring clay oval.

  Placerville Speedway hosts Kubota High Limit Racing this Saturday

  Placerville, CA…The High Rollers of Kubota High Limit Racing make their much-anticipated return to Placerville Speedway this Saturday August 16th, when the annual "49er Gold Rush Classic" invades the El Dorado County Fairgrounds. Grass Valley native and current Placerville resident Brad Sweet brings the point lead into the West Coast Swing. Sweet has a trio wins on the competitive Kubota High Limit Racing trail and sits atop the standings over Indianapolis, Indiana's Tyler Courtney; Clute, Texas' Aaron Reutzel; Knoxville Nationals runner up Rico Abreu and Myerstown, Pennsylvania's Brent Marks. With both Courtney and Reutzel sidelined due to unfortunate injuries, California favorites Giovanni Scelzi and Justin Sanders are set to pilot the NOS Energy Drink No. 7BC and RSR No. 87 respectively. Sanders brought home a runner up result last season with High Limit Racing in Placerville. Clovis driver Corey Day won the Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial at Placerville Speedway in 2022 and hopes to add the 49er Gold Rush Classic on Saturday. The two-time Gold Cup champ ran third at the event last year and is fresh off a sixth-place effort at the Knoxville Nationals. The ever-popular James McFadden was the man who captured the 49er Gold Rush Classic last season and returns on Saturday aboard the Tarlton & Son No. 21 mount. The Alice Springs, Northern Territory driver recently claimed glory at the Capitani Classic in Knoxville, Iowa. Additional drivers looking to punch their ticket to victory lane this Saturday will include past 49er Gold Rush Classic winner Shane Golobic of Fremont, along with Monrovia, Indiana's Justin Peck; Minden, Nevada's Tanner Thorson; Waco, Texas' Chase Randall; Auburn's Andy Forsberg; Bradway Memorial winner Dominic Gorden from Clovis; Suisun, City's Chance Grasty; Jacksonville, Oregon's Tanner Holmes; Templeton's Kaleb Montgomery; Fresno's Dominic Scelzi; Locust Grove, Oklahoma's Daison Pursley and more.

  Justyn Cox strikes for first Placerville Speedway win of season on Red Hawk Casino Night

  Placerville, CA…Clarksburg's Justyn Cox, Oakley's Nick Baldwin, Auburn's Ray Trimble and Lotus' Shawn Whitney snagged Placerville Speedway victories on Saturday during Red Hawk Resort + Casino Night. Cox ended up leading flag to flag in the Thompson's Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Car finale aboard the Berco Redwood No. 42x mount. It marked his initial triumph of the season, and the 13th of his Placerville Speedway Winged 360 career, giving him sole possession of 14th all-time. Extra money was on the line for the top three finishers in the race in memory of Don London, who we paid tribute to in opening ceremonies. The 25-lap Winged Sprint Car finale took a total of five attempts to complete one lap. When things finally got going, Cox moved out front and scooted away, while the action behind him turned out to be particularly entertaining. Several drivers fought it out including championship contender Tony Gomes, who did exactly what he needed to do in the battle for the title. The Modesto competitor moved into third on lap 13 and then snagged second a few laps from the finish. The runner up result gives Gomes a three-point lead atop the standings heading into the Forni-Humphreys Classic championship finale on September 13th. Placerville's Shane Hopkins motored his way from 12th to third to earn the Hard Charger Award, with Auburn's Andy Forsberg and Sacramento's Austin Wood rounding out the top five. It was a marvelous rebound for Wood, who went to the rear at one point after being in a turn four collision. His charge back forward keeps him just three markers behind Gomes going into the finale. Completing the top 10 in the feature were Cole Schroeder, Dylan Bloomfield, Chance Grasty, Kenny Wanderstadt and Steel Powell. The Red Hawk Resort + Casino Pure Stock feature saw Placerville's Tyler Lightfoot jump out front and set a quick pace over the early stages. Point leader Nick Baldwin carved his way into second after not too long and began to hound the leader. Lightfoot had captured the Carnett Clash during the previous week and looked to fend off Baldwin to make it back-to-back wins in the division. With just a handful of laps remaining however, Lightfoot slowed with issues down the back stretch. Baldwin had nowhere to go and contacted the rear of the No. 23j machine but was able to continue. Following that the six-time Placerville Speedway champion cruised away to collect his 38th career Pure Stock win, putting him one shy of tying Dan Jinkerson. Kevin Jinkerson, Ryan Peter, Michael Murphy and Colton Arbogast finished second through fifth respectively. The Nor-Cal Dwarf Car Association put on a tremendous show in the main event, during what could be described as an instant classic. Multiple different leaders and side-by-side racing was prevalent during the 20-lapper. Shawn Whitney moved out front at the waving of the Ed Entz green flag, with the action behind him as hot as the blistering summer weather during the day. Several movers and shakers were seen as positions changed regularly. Lincoln's Dylan Shrum then marched to the front with he and Whitney putting on a show for the fans on hand. The pair split a lapped car with eight laps remaining, but Whitney got sideways and stalled to draw a caution. After restarting at the tail Whitney proceeded to blast all the way back to the front and challenge Shrum over the final circuits. The thrilling finish saw Whitney beat out Shrum by 0.002 seconds at the scoring loop. Ben Wiesz, Brenden Shrum and Brandon Aylesworth completed the top five. The Dwarf Cars also went home with extra money in memory of Don London. The Kings Meats Ltd. Late Model main event was all about Ray Trimble, who snagged the win over Tyler Lightfoot, Chris Mcginnis and Rod Oliver. Placerville Speedway returns to action this coming Saturday with the 49er Gold Rush Classic featuring Kubota High Limit Racing and BCRA Lightning Sprints.

Gomes has piloted the C&M Motorsports No. 7c to a pair of wins, while Wood is searching for his initial triumph of the year at Red Hawk Casino Night.

Previous point leader Andy Forsberg hopes to rebound after issues sidelined him while sitting out front last week. The Auburn driver has guided the Pacific Highway Rentals No. 92 to a trio of point race wins and is tied with Gomes for the most top five efforts, having accumulated seven in the 10 events. Suisun City's Chance Grasty also has the Friends & Family Racing X1 within striking distance of another track title.

  Eddie Tafoya Jr. Set to Return to Action at Perris, Calistoga, and Placerville

  Chino Hills, CA — August 4, 2025 — After a brief summer break, Eddie Tafoya Jr. is ready to get back behind the wheel when the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series returns to Perris Auto Speedway on Saturday, August 16th. The race marks the beginning of a busy late-summer schedule for the driver of the Specialty Fasteners #51T. Following the Perris event, Tafoya and the team will head north for one of the most anticipated weekends in recent sprint car history — the grand re-opening of the legendary Calistoga Speedway on August 30th and 31st. The doubleheader promises to be a major highlight on the USAC/CRA calendar. Then, on September 1st, Tafoya will cap off the Labor Day holiday weekend by competing with the Ultimate Sprint Car Series at Placerville Speedway. Prior to the break, Tafoya raced at his home track, Perris Auto Speedway, on July 19th — just 10 days after celebrating his 28th birthday. Though the final result wasn't what he'd hoped for, the Southern California veteran showed speed and poise throughout the night. He qualified a strong seventh fastest out of 21 cars with a lap of 16.875. In his heat race, the 2018 PAS Young Gun Champion and 2019 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year started and finished fourth in a stacked field. That set him up in the seventh position for the 30-lap main event. In front of the second-largest crowd of the season, Tafoya jumped into a fierce battle for fifth place early in the main. Showing the speed to challenge for a top-four spot, his momentum was unfortunately stalled by lapped traffic. After clearing a slower car, Tafoya's night took an unfortunate turn when he came to a stop in turn one, ending his charge. Despite the setback, Tafoya's performance showed his car and confidence are in the right place heading into the late-season stretch. "I just have to eliminate the mistakes and figure how to get around traffic when it gets slick like that," Tafoya said. "I was dealing with traffic and switching lines every lap. The lapper would go to where I switched to. I was just kind of going back and forth. I finally got a good run down the front straight. I just held it on a little longer than I should have just to get around the lapper. Then I got in the slick and locked up the brakes and slid to a stop." Forced to restart at the back of the field with only limited laps remaining, the odds were stacked against him. But Tafoya wasn't done. He mounted a determined comeback, charging through the field and clawing his way back to a 10th-place finish at the checkered flag — a clear indicator of the team's pace and persistence. "I thought for a second there we were going to start on the front row again (after qualifying), but we missed it by .01," Tafoya commented about the night of racing. "That definitely could have changed the way that main event went for us." "I am happy with the speed, and I think I have been driving good," he continued. "I just have to focus and put it all together on the same night. I have been trying to put myself in a good position and we have been doing that lately. Part of it is mental and part is car set up and stuff like that. Knowing that you have enough to be up there, we have definitely been showing that lately."

  SCCT finale at Stockton Dirt Track shifts to Friday October 31st

  Stockton, CA…Officials with the Stockton Dirt Track have announced a date change for the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour season finale. Originally scheduled for November 8th, the event will now take place on Friday October 31st, creating a double header on Halloween weekend at the San Joaquin County Fairgrounds. The SCCT 360s will crown a champion during the show, while NARC 410 will do the same one night later on November 1st. The overall championship weekend pays tribute as always to the late great Gary Patterson. Known as the "Dancing Phantom from Stockton," the "Preacher," the "Hostile Hippie" or just simply "GP," Gary Patterson was one of the most colorful characters of his time and captured several major wins in his career, including the Gold Cup Race of Champions, the Super Dirt Cup in Washington and the Turkey Night Grand Prix at Ascot Park among others. Patterson lost his life in a Sprint Car crash at Calistoga Speedway on Memorial Day weekend 1983 and an event in his memory has been held every year since. "GP" moved to Stockton, California in 1957 and began his career at the Stockton 99 Speedway. This year marks the 13th season in a row that we've paid honor to Patterson in Stockton. The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour will contest a pair of events before the finale, with Petaluma Speedway's 14th annual Adobe Cup up next on Saturday September 20th. SCCT will also tackle Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare for the Trophy Cup Tune-Up on Saturday October 4th.

Bryan had a knack for storytelling. He could carry on a conversation with anyone and oftentimes had people in tears laughing from his sense of humor. He was known for his generous, caring personality and was always willing to give of himself to help someone in need. On October 18, 2015, after a short but aggressive battle with brain, bone and lung cancer, Bryan passed away at his home in Placerville surrounded by his family. "Placerville Speedway has always been our home track, and I am thrilled that Scott Russell and Kami Arnold were willing to host the Carnett Clash once again," said Forryst Carnett, son of the late Bryan Carnett. "I am hoping we can build upon the success we've had and have another exciting night of racing, which is the best way to remember the competitive spirit of my dad." Oakley's Nick Baldwin is in search of a seventh Pure Stock championship at Placerville Speedway and heads into the Carnett Clash sitting atop the standings. Baldwin is fresh off his fifth triumph of the season at the most recent race and looks to add the Carnett to his fantastic campaign thus far. The Kings Meats Ltd.

  NARC RETURNS TO OCEAN SPEEDWAY FOR 65TH ANNUAL JOHNNY KEY CLASSIC

  (7/28/25 - Andrew Kunas) Watsonville, CA ... The NARC 410 Sprint Car Series will make its final visit of the season to Ocean Speedway on Saturday, August 2nd, when the series takes part in the 65th running of the Johnny Key Classic. The event honors a legendary driver who dominated California racing during the late 1940's and 1950's. It was 1952 where Key reportedly won an astounding 54 races in different classes of cars, and that included a 500-lap race at San Jose Speedway where he won by 18 laps. Key won numerous other races in sprint cars and midgets during his career and won several championships. Key lost his life at just 30 years of age in a midget crash in 1954 in Ohio. The Johnny Key Classic was first run in 1954, shortly after his passing, and was won by Danny Graves. It ran for decades under different lengths and formats, but it was run in San Jose until 1999. After a hiatus, the event was brought back in 2007 at Ocean Speedway as a 360 sprint car event. In 2025, the event became a 410 sprint car event under NARC sanctioning. Saturday's race will be the fourth for NARC at Ocean Speedway and will pay $5,000 to the winner of the 30-lap main event. Nick Rescino leads everyone with six Johnny Key Classic victories over the years. Howard Kaeding was a four-time winner while his legendary son Brent won it twice. Other past winners of the race in its various forms include Al Pombo, Clyde Palmer, Marshall Sargent and Mike Sargent, Burt Foland, Chuck Miller, Ronnie Day, Tommy Tarlton, and more recently the likes of Rico Abreu, Justin Sanders, Buddy Kofoid, Tanner Thorson, Shane Golobic and Dominic Scelzi. WHO TO WATCH Former NARC champion Bud Kaeding of Campbell will be one driver fans will be keeping an eye on. While he didn't win on either night at the Howard Kaeding Classic, Bud did lead laps in the main event on the first night before a treacherous cushion bit him and sent him off the track. Kaeding knows Ocean Speedway well and will look at it as an opportunity to get back in the win column in NARC competition aboard the BK Motorsports No. 29. After mechanical issues in his heat race last Saturday at Santa Maria Speedway, Kaeding earned the Williams Roofing Hard Charger Award in the main event, moving up ten positions. Gauge Garcia of Lemoore won last year's Johnny Key Classic, its last as a 360 event. Garcia is still hunting his first 410 victory with NARC, and it would be ironic if that first win came in the event he previously won in something different. He and the Keller Motorsports No. 2k have dealt with motor issues throughout the season but have still shown speed throughout. D.J. Netto, another former NARC champion, has two wins on the season and took over the points lead Saturday at Santa Maria. The Hanford driver and the Netto Ag No. 88n turned in a fourth place run in Watsonville the other weekend but suffered a mechanical problem and dropped out of the feature in Santa Maria. Despite having the points lead, Netto is wanting to get back in the win column this weekend. Also expected to compete is Harrisburg, Oregon's Tyler Thompson, who leads the NARC Rookie of the Year chase and had a podium finish at Ocean Speedway in May. Fresno drivers Caeden Steele and Mariah Ede are expected to join, along with Oroville's Sean Becker, Dominic Gordon of Clovis, Templeton's Kaleb Montgomery and John Clark from Windsor. Former track champion Kurt Nelson is a frequent participant when NARC visits his home track as well. FAN INFO Ocean Speedway is located on the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds in Watsonville, at 2601 E Lake Ave. Front gates open at 3:30 p.m. with racing scheduled 6:00 p.m. Also joining NARC to race on Saturday will be IMCA modifieds, IMCA sport mods and BCRA lightning sprints. Saturday's event concludes the "Cooler Weather Tour," the recent stretch of races for NARC all scheduled along the California coast and featuring comfortable temperatures for teams and fans. After a break allowing NARC teams to go to the Knoxville Nationals in Iowa and High Limit events happening after that in California, NARC returns to action when it visits the reopening Calistoga Speedway for the Louie Vermeil Classic on Saturday and Sunday, August 30th and 31st. 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.

  THE NARC SPRINT CARS ARE HEADED TO THE "SHOWDOWN AT SANTA MARIA" ON SATURDAY

  (7/21/25 - Andrew Kunas) Santa Maria, CA ... -The "Cooler Weather Tour" continues for the NARC King of the West 410 sprint car series this Saturday, July 26th, when the series makes its annual visit to Santa Maria Speedway for the "Showdown at Santa Maria." Santa Maria Speedway, for most of its history that goes back to 1964, has been a regular stop for sprint cars, winged and non-wing. The track had faced closure a couple of times over the years, but recently got back up and running again and in 2024 it returned to the NARC schedule after a three-year absence. Last year's NARC event saw a wild finish in which Justyn Cox tangled with a slower car and flipped upside down on the final lap, costing him a victory. Chase Johnson took advantage and picked up his fourth career NARC win. He was joined on the podium by Kaleb Montgomery and Gauge Garcia, a pair of drivers worth keeping an eye on this Saturday. Montgomery is still hunting for his first NARC victory but has shown flashes at times. Montgomery, who lives just up the road from Santa Maria Speedway in Templeton, has turned in strong runs this season, including finishing fifth and sixth respectively during last weekend's Howard Kaeding Classic at Ocean Speedway. Finishing runner-up at Santa Maria last year and having won the USAC/CRA non-wing race at the same track in May, Montgomery could see this Saturday's race as the one where he gets his first NARC win. Garcia, from Lemoore, is also still searching for a NARC win. He and the Paso Robles-based Keller Motorsports No. 2k team have fought motor problems throughout the season, but have performed well in several main events, often passing many cars and on four occasions this season Garcia earned the Williams Roofing Hard Charger award. Before last year's return to Santa Maria, the last NARC race at Santa Maria Speedway was in 2021, and it was Benicia's Billy Aton who scored his first NARC victory that night. Saturday's event is part of NARC's "Cooler Weather Tour," as some have called it, the current stretch of events for the series happening at tracks along the California coast, where race teams and fans can expect more comfortable temperatures while it is typically very hot in the California interior. WHO ELSE TO WATCH Harrisburg, Oregon's Tyler Thompson has quietly put together a very solid and consistent season as he chases the NARC Rookie of the Year award aboard the Main Motorsports No. 35km. In 15 regular NARC events (not counting the special format seeing inverted main event fields at Skagit Speedway's Super Dirt Cup in June), Thompson recorded ten Top 10 finishes in those races, many of which had been at tracks he hadn't seen before. His best run was a third place finish on May 16th at Ocean Speedway, and in that race Thompson briefly challenged eventual race winner Justin Sanders for the lead. Thompson sits third overall in the points and has twice posted quick time in Automotive Racing Products Qualifying, twice won a heat race and twice earned the hard charger nod. Many have recently begun looking at Thompson as another driver due to make a big breakthrough in 410 sprint car competition. Former NARC champion D.J. Netto of Hanford, twice a winner this season and second in the points entering the weekend, along with 2005 NARC champion Sean Becker from Oroville, and 2019 series king Bud Kaeding from Campbell will fill out a stellar line-up of competitors. Others expected to compete include Fresno drivers Caeden Steele and Mariah Ede, Dominic Gorden from Clovis, Kansas driver Jace Park, Hollister's Ryan Bernal, and many others. FAN INFO Santa Maria Speedway is located at 1900 Hutton Road, right off of Hwy 101, in Nipomo, just north of Santa Maria itself. Tickets are $30 for adults, $28 for seniors 65+, military and students ages 11 to 17. Kids 10 and under are free. Front gates open at 4:00 p.m. with racing scheduled to begin at 6:00 p.m. Also scheduled to race are IMCA Racesaver sprints, BCRA lightning sprints and dwarf cars.

  Chance Grasty flashes to victory at SCCT Speedweek stop in Placerville

  Placerville, CA…Chance Grasty withstood the challenges of Austin Wood and Andy Forsberg over the closing stages to claim his first career Placerville Speedway win, during an entertaining main event on night two of SCCT Speedweek. Grasty piloted the Friends & Family Racing/ Bushey Financial Services X1 to a $5,000 triumph at the Gold Pan Rampage. It marked his second ever Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour triumph, after claiming his initial victory at Petaluma Speedway last month. "That was so much fun tonight in the main event racing with Austin Wood and Andy Forsberg," Grasty said after the race. "I kind of messed up in the Dash but definitely made up for it in the feature. I really have to thank the entire F&F Racing team, Bushey Financial Services and all the partners on this car." Cotati's Jake Haulot captured the High Sierra Industries Dash to earn the pole for the 35-lap finale. When the green flag waved, he immediately shot out front and looked strong in the early laps. Austin Wood moved into the runner up spot on lap four, while eighth starting Grasty carved his way into third on lap number seven. Around lap 10 the duo began to go at it and with 11 circuits complete, Grasty slipped to his inside to assume second. With lapped traffic in play Grasty closed in on Haulot and quickly made it a race for the top spot. On lap 14 Haulot and Grasty proceeded to split a lapped car in thrilling fashion, which saw Grasty lead the 15th circuit. Wood then charged to the inside of Haulot to take over second on lap 20, prior to a caution shortly after. On the restart Auburn's Andy Forsberg moved his way into third and it set up an exhilarating 15-lap shootout to the end. Grasty, Wood and Forsberg fought tooth and nail up front with fans on the edge of their seats. A multi-groove surface allowed for some exceptional racing and in the end, Grasty was able to withstand the challenges to accept the Darin Stahl checkered flag. Wood finished the race in a close second with Forsberg rounding out the podium. Haulot and El Cajon's Braden Chiaramonte completed the top five in the Shop Kyle Larson main event. Finishing sixth through 10th were Jake Morgan, Shane Hopkins, Kelly Miller, Max Mittry and Kinzer Cox. Hopkins must be commended on his fantastic drive after starting dead last following a trip to the work area during the warmup laps due to a flat tire. Steel Powell officially earned the Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Award going from 23rd to 15th in the feature. A total of 28 cars competed on night two of SCCT Western Sprint Tour Speedweek. Austin Wood earned the Sierra Foothills Wine Services Fast Time Award for the second straight night with a lap of 10.702. SCCT Western Sprint Tour Speedweek continues Monday night at The Douglas County Dirt Track in Roseburg, Oregon.

  Andy Forsberg becomes first 3-time winner of the Tyler Wolf Memorial to open Speedweek

  Chico, CA…Reigning SCCT Speedweek champion Andy Forsberg endured a wild 35-lap feature in front of a large and vocal crowd on Friday night, becoming the first three-time winner of the Tyler Wolf Memorial at Silver Dollar Speedway. The victory marked Forsberg's seventh career Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour triumph and came aboard his familiar Pacific Highway Rentals/ Oroville Tax No. 92 mount. It was also the Auburn veteran's first win at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico since 2021. "Racing on these types of tracks isn't exactly my cup of a tea, but I just focused on being smooth, hitting my marks and hoped the guys in front of me wore out their tires," Forsberg said afterwards. "I can't say enough for about my team for working their tails off and giving me a great car. Thank you to all the fans for packing this place tonight and we hope to see you back at the Gold Cup next month." Sacramento youngster Austin Wood was the story for much of the night after setting the Sierra Foothills Wine Services Fast Time, before claiming the Tiner-Hirst Ent. Heat Race and the High Sierra Industries Dash. Wood jumped out front at the waving of the green flag and distanced himself from the rest of the field. After about 15-laps however, track conditions began to change as rubber came down, and made tire wear a prevalent factor in the outcome. Drivers continued to race hard throughout the field however and kept fans on the edge of their seats. Modesto's Tony Gomes moved into the second spot and began to reel in the leader after several circuts. Following a caution with nine laps to go the ensuing restart brough drama as Gomes grabbed the lead by slicing the inside of Wood, who slowed that same lap as his right rear tire went down. Wood's bid at a clean sweep ended in heartbreak with him driving back to the pit area. With Gomes up front now it brought Auburn's Andy Forsberg into the second spot and Northwest drver Kinzer Cox in third. As more tire issues continued for several cars the final caution of the feature waved with six circuits remaining. During the last restart Forsberg stayed tucked to Gomes' tail tank and then shot to his inside, making it a side-by-side battle for the top spot. Coming to the line to click off lap 32 it was Forsberg now up front. Seconds after that Gomes slowed with a flat right rear tire, as did a few other drivers. With Forsberg up front he had Cox right there with him down to the wire. As the leaders rounded turn four the final time, another car lost the right rear tire just ahead of their path. Both the front runners did a great job to take evasive action, moving down and crossing the stripe with Forsberg claiming the win just ahead of Cox. Cox, hailing from Cottage Grove, Oregon was making just his fourth career Silver Dollar Speedway start and did an exceptional job to record a stellar runner up finish. He will be a certain favorite over the remainder of Speedweek. Sacramento's DJ Freitas also did an impressive job saving his tires and weaving through traffic to claim his first career Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour podium in third. Freitas won the B-main and carved his way from 20th to take home the Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Award. Yuba City's Steele Powell must also be commended for an excellent drive, as he moved forward late to tally his best ever finish with the Sprint Car Challenge Tour in fourth. Braden Chiaramonte rebounded beautifully after suffering a flat tire with six laps left. The El Cajon driver went to the work area and charged all the way back to round out the top five. Completing the top 10 at the Tyler Wolf Memorial were Jennifer Osborne, Aydan Saunders, Max Mittry, Levi Klatt and Adrianna Demartini. A total of 34 cars competed on night one of Speedweek.

  SCCT ready to tackle Western Sprint Tour Speedweek on July 18th-27th

  Chico, CA…For the second consecutive season the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour is primed for Western Sprint Tour Speedweek, which showcases eight nights of racing at seven different venues from California to Washington. Everything kicks off in a big way at Chico's Silver Dollar Speedway this Friday July 18th with the 12th annual "Tyler Wolf Memorial" race. It will be a definite highlight of Speedweek, as we honor the late racer. It also doubles as Fan Appreciation Night, with grandstand tickets costing just $5. Kids 12 and under will be free. When 20-year-old Tyler Wolf lost his life at Calistoga Speedway in 2012, it was one of the darkest days in recent memory for the California racing scene. The Redding native had captured the Silver Dollar Speedway track title one year prior and was well liked throughout the pit area. The event in his memory continues to be one of the special shows each season at Silver Dollar Speedway and is the only SCCT visit of 2025. One night later Speedweek rolls on with the $5,000-to-win/ $500-to-start "Gold Pan Rampage" at Placerville Speedway on Saturday July 19th. It marks the final Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour appearance of the season at the El Dorado County Fairgrounds quarter mile. Monday July 21st begins a trio of races in Oregon all starting at the Douglas County Dirt Track in Roseburg. Tuesday July 22nd then brings the Sprint Car Challenge Tour to Coos Bay Speedway, followed by Cottage Grove Speedway on Wednesday July 23rd. A 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 "Fred Brownfield 360 Nationals" presented by Bob's Burgers & Brew, highlighted by a $26,000-to-win/ $1,000-to-start main event on Saturday July 26th. With a unique format on tap at Skagit Speedway, both nights will feature show up points only in the season-long championship race. SCCT Western Sprint Tour Speedweek all comes to a climax on Sunday July 27th at Grays Harbor Raceway in Elma, Washington. The "Hall of Fame 360 Battle Royale" marks the first series appearance at the track. The overall SCCT Western Sprint Tour Speedweek champion will take home $4,000 as part of an $8,000 total point fund. The runner up nets $2,500 while third place will claim $1,500. Each Shop Kyle Larson main event during Speedweek will hand out a minimum of $3,000-to-win/ $400-to-start the 24-car field. After winning the most recent event, 18-year-old Chance Grasty sits atop the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour standings heading into Speedweek. Sacramento's Austin Wood, Montana driver Cole Schroeder, Yuba City's Seth Standley and Marysville's Dawson Hammes complete the top five. Additional competitors looking to be a common sight during Speedweek will include reigning Garth Moore Insurance Rookie of the Year Braden Chiaramonte from El Cajon, two-time Skagit 360 Nationals winner Seth Bergman of Snohomish, Washington, Marysville's Carson Hammes, Elk Grove's Bubba Decaires, Modesto's Tony Gomes, Arlington, Washington's Jesse Schlotfeldt, Redding's Max Mittry, Cotati's Jake Haulot, Brentwood's Adriana Demartini, Visalia's Jett Barnes, Santa Rosa's Tyler Cato and others.

  $80,000+ IN PRIZE MONEY ON THE LINE FOR NARC SPRINT CARS AT HOWARD KAEDING CLASSIC THIS WEEKEND

  (7/14/25 - Andrew Kunas) Watsonville, CA ... One of the most special events of the season for the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series is next when it visits Ocean Speedway in Watsonville, this Friday and Saturday (July 18-19), for the 15th Annual Howard Kaeding Classic. The event honors the patriarch of the famed Kaeding family that includes his Hall of Fame son Brent, and grandsons Bud and Tim. HK, as he was known to his friends, was a champion racer in his own right, most especially at the old San Jose Speedway where he won several championships and at one point famously won 17 consecutive races. The race saluting the "Campbell Comet" was already a staple in the California 410 sprint car schedule, but this year's event has taken on special meaning with Howard passing away in February at the age of 92. Before Howard's passing, it was already announced that this year's event would be a two-night show. Now in just the last couple of weeks it was announced that Saturday's purse will see an increase, with the main event paying $10,000 to win ($1,500 to start A), while Friday's show pays a neat $5,000 ($750 to start A.) This was made possible by many generous sponsorships from companies with ties to the Kaeding family and the racing community. WHO TO WATCH With the added special meaning to the event, not to mention the now five-figure payday on the final night, many of the top drivers on the West Coast will be competing hard for victories. Reigning "King of the West" Justin Sanders of Aromas won his second Howard Kaeding Classic last year, one of his seven victories on his way to the 2024 NARC title. Sanders has four NARC wins to his credit this season, including a win at Ocean Speedway in May, but is locked in a tight points race atop the standings with former series champion D.J. Netto of Hanford, who is just one point ahead of Sanders. Netto, meanwhile, has never won a Kaeding Classic and would love to add one to his resume. Of course, no racer out there would love to win this weekend more than brothers Tim and Bud Kaeding, who will be racing with heavy hearts at the race honoring their grandfather. Bud has twice won the HK, picking up wins in 2014 and 2019. Tim picked up his 75th career NARC victory on Saturday at Petaluma Speedway and like his father and grandfather is one of the most accomplished sprint car racers ever from California. He has never won a Howard Kaeding Classic and Tim no doubt wants to get that first one this Saturday. Fremont's Shane Golobic, the 2023 Howard Kaeding Classic winner, is expected to compete, along with 2021 winner Sean Becker or Oroville. Tyler Thompson of Harrisburg, Oregon continues his search for his first NARC win but still sits third in points and leads the NARC Rookie of the Year chase. Fresno's Caeden Steele, a first-time NARC winner in May, had an impressive run at last Saturday's Petaluma event and will look to build off of that this weekend. Other drivers expected to race this weekend include two-time series champ Dominic Scelzi of Fresno, Lemoore's Gauge Garcia, Billy Aton of Benicia, Fresno's Mariah Ede, Dominic Gorden of Clovis, and Tucson's Nick Parker. The Howard Kaeding Classic was first held in 2011 with Evan Suggs picking up the win. NARC great Jonathan Allard won the next two. Kyle Hirst leads all drivers with three wins in the prestigious event. Colby Copeland and current World of Outlaws standout Buddy Kofoid each have single HK victories as well. FAN INFO Ocean Speedway is on the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds, located at 2601 E Lake Ave. Friday's show will have sport mods and hobby stocks in action also. On Saturday, NARC will be joined by the BCRA/WMR midgets, hobby stocks and modifieds. Qualifying will get underway at 5:30 p.m. with opening ceremonies at approximately 6:00 p.m. The pit gate opens at 2:00 p.m. After the races on Friday there will be an "After Party" on the track grounds. There will also be the Howard Kaeding Luncheon on Saturday that will see proceeds benefiting the NARC Benevolent Fund. This is all part of the Howard Kaeding Classic weekend at Ocean Speedway. This weekend's races are of the "Cooler Weather Tour," a stretch of races for NARC all taking place at tracks along the California coast and all expecting to have more comfortable coastal temperatures while the California interior bakes in summer heat. July 26th will see NARC make its annual visit to Santa Maria Speedway, before the series returns to Ocean Speedway on August 2nd for the Johnny Key Classic.

  Jake Andreotti claims initial Placerville Speedway Winged Sprint Car triumph on Kids Night

  Placerville, CA…Jake Andreotti, Justyn Cox and Andy Forsberg electrified the Placerville Speedway crowd on Saturday during the annual John Padjen Kids Bike Night event. When all was said and done it was Andreotti standing tall in victory lane to earn his first career Winged 360 win at the track. Fellow victors on John Padjen Kids Bike Night presented by the Pizza Factory were Anthony Slaney with the Kings Meats Ltd. Late Models, Nick Baldwin with the Red Hawk Resort + Casino Pure Stocks and Shawn Whitney with the Nor-Cal Dwarf Car Association. The 25-lap Thompson's Dealerships Winged Sprint Car finale began with Andreotti climbing out front aboard his Buchanon Auto Electric/ Lucas Oil No. 7p mount. The track surface had a little character mixed in on this night and made for some fantastic racing all evening. Point leader Andy Forsberg hounded the leader as he looked to find a way by the Castro Valley wheelman. Clarksburg's Justyn Cox started from ninth and picked his way forward in impressive fashion, moving into third on lap nine. With the contest winding down it became an exhilarating three-car battle up front for the win. The three competitors skillfully navigated every part of the quarter mile during what was regarded as the race of the season on the red clay. Forsberg was able to slice his way to the lead on lap 19, only to have Andreotti come back the following circuit. As the three drivers completed lap 21, Cox slipped to the inside of Forsberg for second and then went to work on the leader. Cox gave him everything he could handle, but Andreotti hung tough to accept the Darin Stahl checkered flag. Cox, Forsberg, Placerville's Shane Hopkins and Tony Gomes rounded out the top five. Finishing sixth through 10th were Chance Grasty, Cole Schroeder, 16th starter and Pizza Factory Hard Charger Austin Wood, Jett Barnes and Kenny Wanderstadt. In the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stock finale, it was Placerville's own Tyler Lightfoot who jumped out front at the waving of the green flag. Six-time track champion Nick Baldwin showed his muscle early on though and rocketed to the point on lap four. Baldwin would ultimately lead the remaining distance for his 37th career win at the track. By doing so, he takes over sole possession of third all-time in division history. Woodland's Scott Grunert made his return to the track and had an excellent race with Lightfoot over the waning stages. Grunert crossed the stripe in second ahead of Lightfoot, Michael Murphy and Ryan Peter. Fourth of July winner Rod Oliver blasted to the lead at the start of the Kings Meats Ltd. Late Model main event. He soon had company in the form of reigning track champion Anthony Slaney, who made his return to the track after becoming a father recently. Slaney charged to the point on lap six and never looked back to dominate the race for his sixth career Placerville Speedway win. Oliver, Matt Micheli, Ray Trimble and Matt Davis followed hm across the line. The Nor-Cal Dwarf Car Association main event was all about Lotus driver Shawn Whitney, who claimed another victory at his home track. Around the midway point he had to withstand a challenge from legendary driver Mike "Spanky" Grenert who led lap eight. Whitney got back by the following circuit, however, and pulled away from the field to score the gold. Lincoln's Dylan Shrum had an exciting feature after spinning out while running third on lap eight. He would proceed to carve his way back forward and score a solid runner up finish. Brandon Aylesworth, Corey Eaton and Dan Geil completed the top five. Placerville Speedway returns to action this coming Saturday July 19th with round two of SCCT Western Sprint Tour Speedweek. Joining the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour at the "Gold Pan Rampage" are the Mountain Democrat Mini Trucks.

  John Padjen Kids Bike Night next up for Placerville Speedway Saturday

  Placerville, CA…The El Dorado County Fairgrounds based Placerville Speedway is excited to host John Padjen "Kids Bike Night" presented by the Pizza Factory this Saturday July 12th. All kids 11 and under receive free admission in the stands on Saturday. As is tradition, children in attendance are invited to race their bikes on the track following heat race competition. Those competing in the races must wear a helmet. MTFX Graphics will also be hosting hot wheels races for the kids from 4-6pm behind the turn four bleachers. If you're looking for a delicious pre-race meal, make sure to stop by the Pizza Factory of Placerville, Pleasant Valley, Pollock Pines, Cameron Park, Auburn, Colfax, Rocklin or Ione to support this Saturday's presenting sponsor. Outstanding and piping hot pizza, lasagna, freshly made salads and much more are offered at the Pizza Factory. "This is always a tremendous show for the families to come out and enjoy a night of racing at," commented track Promoter Scott Russell. "Kids Bike Night has been one of the long-standing events here and we're happy to allow those 11 and under into the races for free on Saturday. When it comes to the future of our sport the younger generation is extremely important, so we hope everyone can bring their kids and maybe even some of their friends this weekend." This Saturday is also our way to remember former track Promoter John Padjen, who passed away in December of 2021. It was Padjen's idea that brought about Kids Bike Night, which continues to be a mainstay at Placerville Speedway. "John always had Kids Bike Night at West Capital Raceway, so he decided to bring that over to Placerville and Chico when he started running both venues," said past Placerville Speedway Promoter Alan Padjen. "The bike nights have always been a hit with the families. It's great that Placerville Speedway continues that tradition and it's a perfect event to remember my dad at." In the early 1980's, John Padjen came aboard Placerville Speedway to help rescue the community icon that was beginning to struggle in the way of management efforts. Already a successful motorsports promoter in Sacramento, Dixon and Chico, Padjen moved in and helped mold the foothill race facility into the successful, competitive track it is today. Padjen established a consistent Saturday night program to improve safety and visibility for both drivers and fans. Tackling the high banked quarter mile this Saturday will be the Thompson's Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Cars, the Kings Meats Ltd. Late Models, the Red Hawk Resort + Casino Pure Stocks and the Nor-Cal Dwarf Car Association. Thanks to the El Dorado County Fair Association parking is free during the month of July, including this Saturday for John Padjen Kids Bike Night presented by Pizza Factory.

  NARC INVADES PETALUMA SPEEDWAY FOR $5,200 TO WIN DAVE LINDT MEMORIAL

  (7/7/25 - Andrew Kunas) Petaluma, CA ... After a well-earned break following a very busy month of June, the NARC 410 sprint car series kicks off another busy stretch of racing on Saturday night, when the series makes its annual visit to Petaluma Speedway for the 2nd Annual Dave Lindt Memorial. The event honors Lindt, who was Petaluma Speedway's winningest driver ever, scoring 48 feature victories and earning five track championships along the way as he dominated weekly action at the track in the late 1990's and early 2000's. Lindt was known for his blue No. 52 sprint car, matching his high school colors and his football jersey number. Saturday's NARC main event will pay $5,200 to win in his memory. Saturday's show marks the first of four consecutive weeks of racing for NARC, the stretch nicknamed by some as the "cooler weather tour" as it is all at tracks along the Pacific coast, which should feature more comfortable weather conditions for racers and fans while the California interior bakes in summer heat. Former NARC champion Sean Becker of Oroville won the inaugural Dave Lindt Memorial last July after a late race battle with young Oakley driver Dylan Bloomfield. It was the last time the "Shark" visited victory lane in NARC competition. POINTS BATTLE & WHO TO WATCH After an eventful trip last month to the Pacific Northwest, there is a tie at the top of the NARC point standings, with reigning "King of the West" Justin Sanders of Aromas and former series champion D.J. Netto of Hanford neck and neck at 1,890 points apiece. Both drivers have multiple NARC victories on the season, Sanders with four and Netto with two, and both had their share of bad luck this year, including Netto getting upside down on consecutive nights during the Fastest Five Days in Motorsports. After their respective roller coaster rides, they are both at the top as NARC begins its summer swing. Sanders has had momentum on his side of late, picking up two NARC wins last month including a $10,000 preliminary night win at the Super Dirt Cup at Skagit Speedway before taking fifth in the Saturday finale against a tough field of racers. Sanders finished second to Becker at last year's Dave Lindt Memorial. Things are tight in general toward the top of the point standings, with just 20 points separating the Top 5. Former NARC champion Bud Kaeding of Campbell, though winless, is quietly having a solid season and is only 11 points out of the lead. Just three points behind Kaeding is Harrisburg, Oregon's Tyler Thompson, who is leading the NARC Rookie of the Year chase and has shown some flashes as well, picking up multiple fast qualifier awards, twice earning the hard charger nod, and challenging for a win at Ocean Speedway in May. Becker is only 20 points behind the leaders and at times has shown himself as a threat to win this season, most notably at Antioch Speedway in May when he led laps in the main event before a crash knocked him out of contention. Having last won at last year's Dave Lindt Memorial, Becker looks to get back in the win column this Saturday with a second straight Lindt triumph. Dominic Gorden of Clovis got his second career NARC victory on May 31st at the Dave Bradway Jr Memorial at Placerville Speedway. Gorden currently sits sixth in the point standings and hopes to get a second 410 victory for the season Saturday in Petaluma. A full field of 410 sprint cars are expected to compete at the 16th event on the ultra-competitive 27-race NARC schedule. To date, 15 races have produced nine different winners! FAN INFO Petaluma Speedway is located on the Petaluma Fairgrounds at 100 Fairgrounds Drive. Front gates open at 4:00 p.m. with racing scheduled to start at 6:00 p.m. General admission for adults is $25, with juniors 12-16, seniors 65+ and military in for $22. Kids ages 6 to 11 are in for just $10. The Redwood Dwarf Cars, mini-stocks and hobby stocks are all scheduled to race on Saturday night with NARC. 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.

  Shane Hopkins, Nick Baldwin and Rod Oliver earn 4th of July wins in front of large crowd at Placerville Speedway

  Placerville, CA…Shane Hopkins has shown the impressive ability to pass cars over the last few seasons with more hard charger awards than anybody at Placerville Speedway. Starting on the front row last night, however, he battled Tony Gomes around the midway point of the feature, before taking the lead en route to his third career Winged 360 Sprint Car triumph at the track. Hopkins' win came aboard the familiar High Sierra Industries/ Anrak Corp. No. 21 mount. Sharing victory lane during the Independence Day showcase were Oakley's Nick Baldwin with the Red Hawk Resort + Casino Pure Stocks and Yuba City's Rod Oliver with the Kings Meats Ltd. Late Models. Despite having no fireworks due to the Esparto warehouse tragedy, the Placerville Speedway faithful filled the grandstands for what was an excellent night of racing and celebrating America. The 30-lap finale for the Thompson's Dealerships Winged Sprint Cars saw last week's winner Tony Gomes jump out front. The Modesto driver had won his heat race earlier out of starting position number four, which gave him the pole for the main event. With gorgeous temps during the evening for Independence Day, the racing remained hot and heavy with several intriguing battles taking place throughout the field. A lap 12 double file restart set up a big moment in the race, as Shane Hopkins stayed right with the leader. Hopkins blasted to the outside through one and two and grabbed the lead down the backstretch. Gomes wasn't done yet though and returned the favor on the next lap to move back out front. As he rounded turn two on lap 14 however, he got over the edge and dropped to third, with Hopkins and Austin Wood getting by. Hopkins drove a great race over the remaining distance and withstood a closing Gomes over the final couple circuits to accept the Ed Entz checkered flag. Gomes and Wood kept fans on the edge of their seats over the waning laps as they fought hard for the runner up. Behind Hopkins the top five read as Gomes, Wood, Lemoore's Gauge Garcia and Tucson, Arizona's Nick Parker. Rounding out the top 10 were Dustin Freitas, Dylan Bloomfield, 15th starting Chance Grasty, Isaiah Vasquez and 17th starting Braden Chiaramonte. With Andy Forsberg suffering a DNF we have a new point leader going into tonight, with young Austin Wood now up front. Forsberg is just four points back in second, while Gomes finds himself within six markers of the lead. Wood earned another ADCO Driveline Fast Time Award to begin the evening on Friday, pacing the 33-car field in time trials. The Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks once again provided thrills in their main event, especially over the initial 10 circuits. Wayne Trimble, Kevin Jinkerson, Nick Baldwin and Ryan Peter all ran tightly together up front. The quartet put on a tremendous show for the fans with some good, clean, hard racing. On lap nine Baldwin grabbed the lead and would never look back on way to his 36th career Placerville Speedway Pure Stock win. In doing so, he tied Dennis Ahart for third all-time at the track. Kevin Jinkerson, Ryan Peter, Tyler Lightfoot and Wayne Trimble finished second through fifth in the 25-lap contest. The Kings Meats Ltd. Late Model main event was all about Rod Oliver, who raced away to claim his third career Placerville Speedway victory. Chris McGinnis led the opening two laps, before Oliver got by to grab the point. After that Oliver was in cruise control up front and crossed the stripe for the win ahead of Matt Micheli, Tyler Lightfoot, Matt Davis and Mcginnis. Placerville Speedway finishes off Independence Day weekend on Saturday July 5th with the inaugural Triple Crown presented by All Coast Construction and Avanti Windows & Doors. On tap will be the Thompson's Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Cars, the Ultimate Sprint Car Series, the USAC Western States Midgets and Wingless BCRA Lightning Sprints.

  Esparto Facility explosion pauses Fireworks show at Placerville Speedway / RACES ARE STILL ON

  Placerville, CA…Russell Motorsports Inc. has made the announcement that due to yesterday's unfortunate fireworks facility explosion in Esparto, this Friday's fireworks display following the races has been canceled. The race program, however, will still be contested with the Thompson's Winged 360 Sprint Cars, Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks and Kings Meats Ltd. Late Models taking to the track. "The company that was supplying and housing our fireworks that were to be used on Friday night, was part of yesterday's unfortunate explosion and fire in Esparto," commented Placerville Speedway Promoter Scott Russell. This devastating incident resulted not only in the complete loss of our fireworks supplier's inventory, but more importantly, the loss of lives of individuals who have long been part of bringing celebration and joy to communities across California, including ours. Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with the families, friends, and team members affected by this heartbreaking event. We understand how much our community looks forward to the Independence Day fireworks at the speedway each year. It is a tradition we cherish, and one we hoped to continue in 2025. However, out of respect for those lost and due to the unforeseen loss of available inventory, we have no choice but to cancel this year's fireworks portion of the event. As noted, the July 4th race program will continue as scheduled. We thank our fans for their understanding and continued support, and we encourage everyone to keep the families impacted by the Esparto tragedy in their hearts during this holiday.

  Tony Gomes surges to 2nd Placerville Speedway win of the year on Kings Meats Night

  Placerville, CA…Tony Gomes utilized a perfect restart on lap nine to grab the lead and never look back on way to his second Placerville Speedway triumph of the season on Kings Meats Burger Night Saturday. It marked the second consecutive season that Gomes and C&M Motorsports snagged a win with the Thompson's Winged Sprint Cars during Kings Meats Night. It was the eighth career Placerville Speedway Winged 360 score for the Modesto driver, matching him with Tanner Carrick, Kalib Henry and Glen Boune for 21st all-time. Sharing victory lane on Saturday were Kevin Jinkerson with both the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks and Mountain Democrat Mini Trucks, along with Jake Morgan with the Hunt Magnetos Wingless Tour. At the waving of the green flag in the 25-lap Thompson's Winged Sprint Car finale it was Aromas' Justin Sanders who jumped out front. Auburn's Andy Forsberg quickly moved to second and stayed within striking distance as lapped traffic came into play. With the intensity picking up Forsberg looked to capitalize a couple of times until a wild moment occurred on lap nine. Racing in traffic Sanders and a lapped car made the slightest contact, which sent both around. Sanders was remarkably able to keep going but the yellow waved as the lapped car stalled. Running third at the time, Tanner Carrick had nowhere to go and contacted the car, resulting in too much damage to continue. On the double file restart Tony Gomes got a great launch from the inside of row two, shooting by Forsberg and then making a bold move to drive under Sanders for the lead. After that Gomes had his way with things up front, as timely yellows kept leaders out of traffic. He marched away to accept the Darin Stahl checkered flag over Sanders, Sacramento's Austin Wood, Forsberg and Bozeman, Montana's Cole Schroeder who claimed his first Placerville top five result. Rounding out the top 10 were Chance Grasty, Steven Kent, Hard Charger Shane Hopkins, Cody Gray and Justyn Cox. Wood began the evening by blistering the quarter mile in 10.550 seconds to bring home the ADCO Driveline and Custom Exhaust Fast Time Award. Diamond Springs Kevin Jinkerson doubled his pleasure on Kings Meats Night, racing to victory with both the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks and Mountain Democrat Mini Trucks. On the Pure Stock side of things Sacramento's Jason Palmer led the first couple circuits, before Jinkerson carved his way by to take the lead. After that Jinkerson was oh so smooth up front and drove away to grab his first victory of the season and number 13 in his Placerville Speedway Pure Stock career. Point leader Nick Baldwin, Rio Linda's Ryan Peter, Placerville's Tyler Lightfoot and Auburn's Colton Arbogast completed the top five. With the Mini Trucks it was Howard Miller who set the pace early on. Jinkerson kept him honest though and would charge to the lead on lap six. The remaining distance saw him once again remain calm, cool and collected to take the checkered flag and his second Kings Meats meat box of the night. Howard Miller, final starter Mike Miller, Luke Costa and Paizlee Miller followed him across the line. In the 25-lap Joe Hunt Magnetos Wingless Tour feature it was Jake Morgan racing to his 12th career Non-Winged Sprint Car main event win at Placerville. Marysville's Josh Young got a tremendous start to lead the opening lap after starting from the second row. Morgan quickly moved into second after five laps and then reeled in the leader. Both Young and Morgan showed they were the class of the field on this night, pulling away from the pack. The complexion of the race then changed on lap 13 when a spun car in turn one forced leaders to take evasive action. Morgan was able to continue, but Young sat parked off the corner, forcing him to the rear. With Morgan out front that was all she wrote, as he pulled away to complete a clean sweep of the night's program. Bob Newberry, Anthony Bruno, Kaden Ramos and Shannon Newton comprised the top five. The evening began with drivers and teams honoring long time member of the racing family, Jimmy Wall, who is currently battling an illness. Promoter Scott Russell and long-time friend Andy Forsberg handled the ceremony and did a fantastic job. Placerville Speedway returns to action with a double header on Independence Day weekend. Friday July 4th is the annual Freedom Fireworks event, while Saturday July 5th brings the all open wheel Triple Crown to the track.

  Andy Forsberg, Ray Trimble, Nick Baldwin and Dakota Albright win on Fan Appreciation Night in Placerville

  Placerville, CA…Auburn's Andy Forsberg battled his way to the lead early on and dominated the remainder for his 76th career Winged Sprint Car triumph at Placerville Speedway on Saturday. Sharing victory lane on Thompson's Fan Appreciation Night were Ray Trimble with the Kings Meats Ltd. Late Models, Nick Baldwin with the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks and Dakota Albright with the BCRA Wingless Lightning Sprints. Suisun City's Chance Grasty jumped out front at the waving the green flag in the Thompson's Winged Sprint Car finale. It didn't last long however, as current point leader Andy Forsberg carved his way by on lap three. Once out front Forsberg was never seriously challenged over the remaining distance en route to his 76th career Sprint Car win at the track. Racing behind though was a back-and-forth affair between several different drivers. Modesto's Tony Gomes and Grasty battled for second, which Gomes eventually secured on lap 22. Grasty came home third followed by Lincoln's Tanner Carrick and Placerville's Shane Hopkins. Rounding out the top 10 were Austin Wood, Justyn Cox, Jake Andreotti, Kenny Wanderstadt and Steven Kent. Auburn's Ray Trimble snagged his 23rd career Kings Meats Ltd. Late Model win at Placerville Speedway on Saturday. Trimble led every lap on way to the victory over Matt Micheli, Shawn Deforest, Paul Gugliomoni and Rod Oliver. Oakley's Nick Baldwin also led every step of the way with the Red Hawk Resort + Casino Pure Stocks on Fan Appreciation Night. The six-time track champion fended off all challengers to grab his 35th career win and move into sole possession of number four all time at the speedway. Kevin Jinkerson battled his way under Ryan Peter late in the going to run second, followed by Peter, Wayne Trimble and Tommy Sturgeon. With the traveling BCRA Wingless Lightning Sprints it was the Thompson's Dealerships sponsored entry of Dakota Albright standing in victory lane. Albright had to deal with a very fast Greg Dennett, who passed him for the lead on lap four. Albright returned the favor a few circuits later though and then held him off for the remaining distance. At the Darin Stahl checkered flag, it was Albright over Dennett, Matt Land, Jason Schostag and Bradley Schmidt.

  Thompson's Fan Appreciation Night features $5 tickets at Placerville Speedway

  Placerville, CA…Throughout the years Placerville Speedway has been known for having some of the most loyal fans in Northern California. As a special thank you to our dedicated patrons, grandstand tickets will be just $5 during the annual Thompson's Fan Appreciation Night this Saturday June 21st. Divisions ready to thrill the crowd on Fan Appreciation Night include the Thompson's Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Cars, the Kings Meats Ltd. Late Models, the Red Hawk Resort + Casino Pure Stocks and Wingless BCRA Lightning Sprints. Hirst Home Team presents Coors Light/ Coors Banquet Happy Hour and Live Music prior to the races until 6pm. Make sure to also arrive with your appetite to enjoy some of the highest rated racetrack cuisine in Nor-Cal at the Speedway Café. "Thompson's Fan Appreciation Night is always an event we look forward to each season," said track Promoter Scott Russell. "With grandstand tickets just $5 we encourage everyone to bring a friend and if they can, please introduce someone new to the races on Saturday as well. The Thompson's Family of Dealerships have been long-time partners with not only the track, but it even goes back to 2001 when I first started running Sprint Cars. We can't thank them enough for their continued support." The familiar red clay was silent from the roar of race cars around the oval last week due to the annual break for the El Dorado County Fair. This Saturday, however, launches five consecutive weeks of racing as things begin to heat up at Placerville Speedway. Battles in the Berco Redwood/ Hoosier Tire/ Coors Light championship chase stand close entering the busiest stretch of the campaign. Just 19-points separate Auburn's Andy Forsberg, Suisun City's Chance Grasty and Sacramento's Austin Wood at the top of the Thompson's Winged Sprint Car standings. Forsberg has two wins, while Grasty and Wood have shown solid consistency thus far, with both knocking on the door of victory lane. Tony Gomes of Modesto dominated the last point race and sits fourth in points followed by Placerville's own Shane Hopkins. Fan Appreciation Night marks round four of the Kings Meats Ltd. Late Model season. Yuba City's Rod Oliver captured the last event and holds a slim two-point advantage over Live Oak's Matt Micheli. Placerville's Tyler Lightfoot has one win on the campaign and is only four markers back in third. The Red Hawk Resort + Casino Pure Stocks have put on some thrilling races this season and more of the same is expected Saturday. Six-time track champion Nick Baldwin of Oakley won last time out and leads Diamond Springs' Kevin Jinkerson by 17 points. Three-time victor this season Ryan Peter of Rio Linda ranks P3 in the standings but is just 20 back of Baldwin. Tyler Lightfoot and Sacramento's Jason Palmer round out the top five in points. The BCRA Lightning Sprints will also shed the wings for the first time this season at Placerville Speedway, as they get tuned up for the November running of the Hangtown 100.
