  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.

  NARC SPRINT CARS HEAD TO BUSY DOUBLEHEADER WEEKEND AT WATSONVILLE AND TULARE

  The first doubleheader weekend of the season is next up for the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series, with races at Ocean Speedway and Thunderbowl Raceway on tap. On Friday, May 16th, the NARC teams will head to Ocean Speedway in Watsonville for the Salute to First Responders. Police officers, fire fighters and EMT's with proper identification are all getting in for $10 off that night. The event is the first of four NARC events scheduled to take place at the quarter-mile clay oval this season. The April event was canceled due to bad weather. Justin Sanders, on his way to the 2024 NARC championship, won the lone NARC event in Watsonville last season when he picked up the prestigious Howard Kaeding Classic. After the Chris & Brian Faria Memorial was rained out on April 26th and subsequently rescheduled for this fall (October 4th), the series will make the first of its two visits this season to Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, with this Saturday's (May 17th) event being the ever-popular Morrie Williams Memorial Twin 20's. The event honors one of California's legendary sprint car team owners. Morrie Williams achieved many victories in races and championships, including four NARC King of the West titles. His iconic white No. The "0" car has been driven by numerous highly skilled racers over the years. After the first 20-lap race, all lead lap cars will be inverted for the second race. Numerous prizes will be up for grabs, thanks to the members of the Williams Motorsports team. A cash bonus of $1,000 also awaits the driver who accumulates the most points over the two features. Overall, more than $33,000 in prize money and product awards are on the line. Sanders and Tim Kaeding won the Morrie Williams Memorial Twin 20 features at Kings Speedway last year, with Cole Macedo earning the overall title by accumulating the most points across both races. Shane Golobic and Cole Macedo won the NARC events at Thunderbowl Raceway in 2024. Hanford's D.J. Netto has won two out of three NARC races to start the season. The former series champion won the March 8th opener at the Stockton Dirt Track and then last Saturday took the eventful Contra Costa Clash at Antioch Speedway. Netto, winner of nine NARC 410 races in his career, has sprint car victories to his credit at both tracks NARC is visiting this weekend. WHO TO WATCH Tim Kaeding of San Jose finished fourth in last Saturday's feature at Antioch after moving up eight positions aboard the Williams Motorsports No. 0, and it wasn't the first time he passed a lot of cars this season as back on March 8th at Stockton Kaeding moved up 15 positions to earn the Williams Roofing Hard Charger nod. In the Morrie Williams Memorial, the "Zero Heroes" have seen much success at the event bearing the name of their late team owner as they have scored a win in one of the Twin 20 features each year and with different drivers piloting the car. In the second feature last year, Kaeding charged from the 12th starting position and took the lead on the 15th lap on his way to a victory. Fremont's Shane Golobic has seen success at both of this weekend's tracks with the Matt Wood Racing No. 17w team. Golobic was the winner of last May's NARC race at Thunderbowl Raceway, and in 2023 he was the winner of the Howard Kaeding Classic at Ocean Speedway. Those wins are among the 16 career NARC triumphs by Golobic. FAN INFO Ocean Speedway is located at the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds at 2601 E. Lake Ave. Friday's event will also have IMCA modifieds and the South Bay Dwarf Cars on the schedule. All police, fire fighters and EMT's with proper identification will get $10 off their admission. Front gates open at 4:30 p.m. with qualifying at 6:00 p.m. and racing at 7:00 p.m. Thunderbowl Raceway is located at the Tulare County Fairgrounds on K Street.

  FORSBERG FLASHES TO PLACERVILLE SPEEDWAY VICTORY

  Placerville, CA…Andy Forsberg and Chance Grasty entertained the Placerville Speedway faithful on Saturday night, which ultimately saw the 10-time track champion come out on top to earn another victory on the famed red clay. Along with Forsberg, also scoring wins on Anrak Night at the Races were Tyler Lightfoot with the Kings Meats Ltd. Late Models, Ryan Peter with the Red Hawk Resort + Casino Pure Stocks and Hunter Kinney with the BCRA Lightning Sprints. The 25-lap Thompson's Winged 360 Sprint Car feature began with young Austin Wood leading the opening lap, before Forsberg rocketed by to take over the top spot. Track conditions proved to be spot on for the main event, as cars raced high and low on the bullring. Wood attempted to keep pace with the leader but soon had to deal with ADCO Driveline Fast Qualifier Chance Grasty following a restart with 10 circuits complete. Grasty slipped to his inside and took over second on lap 11. At one point the top three began to bunch up ever so slightly, only to see a caution flag wave to create a single file restart. When getting back underway Grasty went to work on the leader and the duo proceeded to fight back and forth with the crowd coming to its feet. Grasty officially led lap 18, but Forsberg would slice back by leading the following circuit. The Auburn veteran hung tough and went on to take the Darin Stahl checkered flag for his 74th career Sprint Car triumph at Placerville. Grasty, Tony Gomes, Justyn Cox and 16th starting Colby Copeland completed the top five. Filling out the remainder of the top 10 were Shane Hopkins, Wood, Steven Kent, Austin Torgerson and Cole Schroeder. The Kings Meats Ltd. Late Models put on an intriguing, non-stop, 20 lap main event on Saturday evening. Placerville's Tyler Lightfoot moved out front early and held the field at bay for much of the contest. Reigning track champion Anthony Slaney was certainly the show in the feature as he blasted by cars on the high scary side. He took over third on lap seven and then second a few circuits later. Slaney quickly reeled in the leader and hounded his rear until hopping the cushion and then pulling off with four laps remaining. Lightfoot then had a large advantage and brought home his sixth career Placerville Speedway Late Model victory. Matt Davis, Rod Oliver, Matt Micheli and Shawn DeForest followed him across the line. The Red Hawk Resort + Casino Pure Stocks had another thrilling conclusion to their main event on Anrak Night. Colton Arbogast and Michael Murphy led the first couple laps until Rio Linda's Ryan Peter showed his muscle and grabbed the lead on lap three. Peter had captured the previous two events and was looking to make it three in a row at Placerville Speedway. Six-time track champion Nick Baldwin began making his way through the pack, taking over third just after the halfway point. With a few laps remaining Baldwin charged into second and began to come after the leader. Just like at the Tilford Tribute in April, it was Peter and Baldwin coming down to the wire. The pair battled for the win off the final corner, which saw Peter edge him by half a car length for the three-peat. Baldwin, Kevin Jinkerson, Michael Murphy and Tyler Lightfoot completed the top five. Citrus Heights driver Hunter Kinney survived numerous restarts to claim his second straight win at Placerville with the BCRA Lightning Sprints. Greg Dennett, Dakota Albright, Matt Land and Marshall Sexton were next in line. Placerville Speedway is dark the next two weeks before resuming things with a big double header on May 30th and 31st.

  ANTIOCH SPEEDWAY HOSTS THE NARC SPRINT CARS FOR THE CONTRA COSTA COUNTY CLASH

  (5/5/25 -Andrew Kunas) Antioch, CA ... After some unscheduled time off thanks to Mother Nature, the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series gets back to action this Saturday, May 10th, with the Contra Costa County Clash at Antioch Speedway. Saturday's event is the first of two NARC events scheduled at the ¼-mile clay oval this year, the other being on October 11th. Saturday's show is one of the rare opportunities fans in Antioch have to watch the 900-plus horsepower winged sprint cars in action. Former series champion D.J. Netto, aboard the Netto Ag No. 88N, goes into the event with a five-point advantage over Templeton's Kaleb Montgomery. Netto won the NARC season opener March 8th at Stockton Dirt Track and backed that up with a fourth place run at the Mini-Gold Cup on April 12th at Silver Dollar Speedway. The energetic young Montgomery, with a pair of top five finishes in different cars, is knocking on the door of his first 410 sprint car victory. Veteran racer Shane Golobic sits two points back of Montgomery in third place. Justin Sanders, winner of last month's Mini-Gold Cup, was the winner in last year's Contra Costa County Clash at Antioch Speedway, and it was the first of his series leading seven wins on his way to a NARC championship in 2024. WHO TO WATCH Shane Golobic, from Fremont, is one to be watched on Saturday. Golobic finished second to Sanders at Antioch last year. This season, Golobic has been competitive everywhere he has raced, having picked up wins in sprint cars in non-NARC competition and in a midget recently. Driving the Matt Wood Racing No. 17w, Golobic figures to be one of the favorites. Golobic has 16 NARC victories to his credit. Two-time NARC "King of the West" Dominic Scelzi of Fresno is another driver to watch on Saturday. Scelzi, a winner of 23 NARC main events in his career, had problems in last year's Contra Costa County Clash, but in 2023 he was victorious at Antioch. The charismatic fan favorite looks to add another Antioch triumph to his resume on Saturday aboard the Gary Scelzi Motorsports No. 41. Dylan Bloomfield of Oakley could be considered a dark horse on Saturday. The young driver of the Vertullo Racing No. 83v finished third in last year's race at Antioch, and a couple other times last season he was in contention for his first NARC victory. Saturday's race could be another opportunity for Bloomfield to finally break through. A full field of sprint car teams are expected to fill the pit area. Other drivers expected to compete include Roseville's Sean Becker and Ryan Bernal, Tanner Carrick of Lincoln, Clovis drivers Dominic Gorden and Mariah Ede, Bud Kaeding of Campbell, Tyler Thompson from Oregon, Lemoore's Caeden Steele, Gauge Garcia of Fresno, Benicia's Billy Aton, Windsors John Clark, and many more. FAN INFO Antioch Speedway is located at 1201 W 10th Street in town near Hwy 4. It will be an exciting open wheel night for fans as the Graunstadt Memorial for the BCRA and WMR Midgets are also on the card. General admission is $35 for adults, and $25 for seniors, military and kids. Front gates open at 4:00 p.m. with hot laps scheduled for 5:30 p.m. and racing at 6:00 p.m. ABOUT NARC The Northern Auto Racing Club is the premier 410-winged sprint car series in the western United States.

  Joel Myers Jr. makes the final lap count in Nor*Cal Posse Shootout thriller

  Placerville, CA…A green, white, checkered restart set up a classic finish at the Nor*Cal Posse Shootout on Saturday, where Joel Myers Jr. blasted around race long leader Ryan Bernal off the final corner to claim the $8,000 top prize. Myers Jr. finished runner up in the Placerville Speedway standings back in 2021 and had been oh-so-close to a victory at the track before. The Sebastopol driver made his initial win on the red clay pay off in dramatic fashion aboard the All About Fire Protection/ Dirt Dude's Excavating No. 46jr. "This is really a testament to my team who have worked their tails off," Myers Jr. said in victory lane. "Ivan Warden and my guys gave me a great car. I could get the middle going and pace off Ryan's right rear to stay close. I thought I may have something if I ripped the top and luckily it worked out for us." The initial 27-laps in the feature clicked off caution free and provided some intense racing up front. Hollister's Ryan Bernal jumped out to the lead and led a very fast Chance Grasty from Suisun City, who stayed glued to his tail tank. The duo kept fans on the edge of their seats and when lapped traffic came into play things got hectic. With Bernal and Grasty fighting for the top spot, Myers Jr. then inched in on them and made it a three-car battle for the lead. The long green flag run came to a halt however, when Grasty hopped over the cushion in three and four. As he came back down onto the track, he unfortunately met with Austin Wood at just the wrong moment, which sent him down into the K-rail for a caution. When going back green Bernal fended off Myers Jr. until a red flag appeared with just two circuits remaining. During the final dash to the finish, it was Bernal, Myers Jr. and Shane Golobic who pleased the fans with an exhilarating tussle to the end. Heading down the backstretch for the final time and entering turn three, Bernal went low, while Myers Jr. rocketed to the top. Bernal didn't get off turn four as smoothly as he wanted, while Myers hit it perfectly to shoot past and score the thrilling triumph. Bernal crossed the stripe in second to cap a strong weekend that saw him sweep both nights with USCS and earn a third-place result in the Winged Sprint Car opener. Golobic, Wood and Clarksburg's Justyn Cox completed the top five. Rounding out the top 10 were Dominic Gorden, Andy Forsberg, Tanner Carrick, Justin Sanders and Dominic Scelzi. A total 36 competitors were on hand to finish the Nor*Cal Posse Shootout/ Legends Weekend presented by Berco Redwood. Chance Grasty set Fast Time to begin the program with a lap of 10.750. The Ultimate Sprint Car Series, as noted, saw Ryan Bernal claim a clean sweep of the weekend after he tallied another win on Saturday. The feature was plagued by several hard crashes, but fortunately all drivers walked away unscathed. Early on it was Braden Chiaramonte and Jacob Tuttle racing up front for the lead. Chiaramonte eventually edged ahead and led the field until Tanner Carrick had a monster run off turn two with 12 laps complete. Just as Carrick was looking to shoot underneath, Chiaramonte had issues on the cushion that sent him sideways. The pair met up, resulting in Carrick suffering a wicked flip down the back stretch. Both drivers were done for the program, and it gave Bernal the top spot that he would never relinquish. Due to time, the main event was checkered flagged at lap 20 and Bernal brought home the win over Carson Short, Josh Young, Tuttle and Austin Wood.

  Justin Sanders and Ryan Bernal snag wins on a wild Nor*Cal Posse Shootout opener

  Placerville, CA…Justin Sanders started from the pole and led flag-to-flag for his 26th career Winged 360 Sprint Car triumph at Placerville Speedway during the Nor*Cal Posse Shootout opener. Sharing victory lane on Friday at the Nor*Cal Posse Shootout/ Legends Weekend presented by Berco Redwood was Hollister's Ryan Bernal, who earned a thrilling late race win with the Ultimate Sprint Car Series. With the victory on Friday evening, Sanders matched Sean Becker for fourth place on the all-time Winged 360 Sprint Car win list at the track. The driver of the Dale Miller Septic/ Thompson's Dealerships No. 4sa was poised as always in lapped traffic, while keeping a very fast Shane Golobic at bay throughout the feature. Sanders earned the pole of the Dash by way of winning his heat race out of fourth starting with a bold move on the initial start. He went on to win the six-lap contest, putting him on the pole in the feature. When the green flag waved in the 30-lap main event, he immediately jumped out front ahead of Golobic. The duo showed that they were the drivers to beat on this night and never got too far away from each other. Golobic kept Sanders within sight, but a couple of timely slow downs just as he was getting ready to pounce hampered his efforts. A trio of red flags along with several cautions plagued the flow of the race, but in between it, several movers and shakers were seen. As the race wound down in lapped traffic, Golobic caught Sanders, and it looked like we would be in for a classic battle towards the checkered. Just as that happened, however, a red flag period occurred with only four circuits remaining. The incident involved Clarksburg's Justyn Cox, who had put on an exceptional charge from 14th to fifth up until that point. Sanders then hit a perfect restart and led the final four laps to pick up the win over Golobic, Hollister's Ryan Bernal, Sacramento's Austin Wood and Auburn's Andy Forsberg. Completing the top 10 were Colby Copeland, Joel Myers Jr., Tyler Thompson, Chance Grasty and Hard Charger Shane Hopkins, who started 19th after fighting through issues in hot laps and qualifying. A strong field of 39 Winged Sprint Cars competed on opening night. Tony Gomes set the standard in qualifying with a lap of 10.726 around the quarter mile. The Ultimate Sprint Car Series made an epic Placerville Speedway debut on Friday night. Outstanding racing was seen right from the drop of the green flag and lasted all the way to an overtime- green, white, checkered conclusion. Winged Sprint Car regular Tanner Carrick hopped out to the early lead and set a torrid pace up front. The Lincoln driver was very impressive as he looked for his second career USCS victory. The action behind him was hot and heavy all throughout the field. Braden Chiaramonte took over second early on and methodically closed the gap between himself and the leader. With traffic coming into play, Chiaramonte closed quickly off turn two and snagged the top spot with 20 laps complete. After that he pulled away, eventually accepting the white flag. He looked to be headed for victory, only to have a stalled car bring out a yellow instead of the checkered. Always the Non-Winged ace, Ryan Bernal started from ninth and had battled back and forth with several drivers. He moved into third just past the halfway point, before utilizing the late caution to make his move. The overtime restart saw Bernal rocket by Carrick for second coming to the white flag and then shoot under Chiaramonte down the back stretch. The exhilarating finish saw Bernal come out on top over Chiaramonte, Carrick, Roseville's Josh Young and Illinois traveler Carson Short. Finishing sixth through 10th were Ryan Timmons, 16th starter Nathan Schank, 19th starting Jon DeWees, 23rd starter Dominic Scelzi and Austin Wood. A total of 23 cars competed on opening night with the Ultimate Sprint Car Series. Carson Short began the night by setting a brand new Non-Winged track record at Placerville Speedway with a lap of 11.616. The Nor*Cal Posse presented by Berco Redwood finishes up tonight with an $8,000 to win finale for the Winged Sprint Cars, along with the Ultimate Sprint Car Series.

  Sexton Gatlin Racing Returns to Placerville Speedway This Weekend

  Lakeside, CA, May 1, 2025 — This Friday and Saturday, May 2nd and 3rd, Sexton Gatlin Racing (SGR) will make its highly anticipated return to Placerville Speedway as drivers Brent Sexton and his son Grant compete in the Ultimate Sprint Car Series (USCS) at the iconic Northern California venue. This marks the Lakeside, California-based team's first appearance at Placerville since a dominant showing in 2022. SGR's last outing at the red clay oval was as part of the show at the three-night Hangtown 100 in November 2022, which was co-sanctioned by the California Lightning Sprint Car Series and Bay Cities Racing Association. The team swept all three main events that weekend: San Diego's AJ Bender took victories on the first two nights, with Grant Sexton finishing second and sixth. On the final night, it was 17-year-old Grant's turn to shine, claiming the win with Bender right behind in second. Brent, a three-time lightning sprint car series champion, also made all three main events in 2022, finishing fifth, 12th, and 15th. His oldest son, Dalton, qualified for all three mains as well, earning finishes of 10th, 12th, and 15th. This Friday, Brent returns to the seat for one night only before heading off for his annual vacation in Cabo San Lucas. He enters the weekend ranked fourth in USCS points, just four digits out of third. In four starts this season, Brent's best finish was a fifth-place showing at Ocean Speedway on March 28. Grant, now 20, will be racing both nights. Thus far, he has made two USCS starts in 2025. He earned an eighth-place finish at Ventura Raceway on March 8 and was poised for a top-five finish at Bakersfield on April 12 before contact with another car knocked him out of contention, resulting in a 17th-place finish. He currently sits 20th in the championship standings. Placerville Speedway Details: Opened in 1965, Placerville Speedway is located on the El Dorado County Fairgrounds (100 Placerville Drive, Placerville, CA).

  Sutter's Ridge Night presented by Williams Homes up next at Placerville Speedway Saturday

  Placerville, CA…The "Thunder in the Foothills" championship season presented by Berco Redwood resumes this Saturday April 26th with Sutter's Ridge Night presented by Williams Homes at Placerville Speedway. A four-division program will entertain fans with the Thompson's Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Cars, Red Hawk Resort + Casino Pure Stocks, Mountain Democrat Mini Trucks and the Nor-Cal Dwarf Cars tackling the quarter mile.

"This Saturday's event is the final tune up prior to next week's Nor*Cal Posse Shootout so hopefully we'll see a good field of Sprint Cars to go along with our Pure Stocks, Mini Trucks and Dwarf Cars." After a couple weeks off the Thompson's Winged Sprint Cars roar back into the El Dorado County Fairgrounds for their third event of 2025. As noted, the night of racing is the last chance for Sprint Car teams to fine tune things before the Nor*Cal Posse Shootout/ Legends Weekend presented by Berco Redwood.

  NARC SPRINT CARS HEAD TO TULARE FOR CHRIS & BRIAN FARIA MEMORIAL RACE

  (4/21/25 - Andrew Kunas) Tulare, CA ,,, A Thunderbowl Raceway cornerstone event is next on tap for the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series, which will race in the Chris & Brian Faria Memorial this Saturday, April 26th. Saturday's event is the first of two visits that NARC will make to the 1/3-mile, high-banked clay oval located at the Tulare County Fairgrounds this season. This marks the third stop on the 27-event NARC campaign. First contested in 2002, the event honors a pair of brothers from the Faria family, longtime participants in California racing. Chris Faria, who was an up-and-coming racer, passed away after a farming accident in 1993. His older brother Brian, who was active behind the scenes at Thunderbowl Raceway, tragically passed away in early 2006 in a traffic accident, and Brian's name was soon put alongside his brother's name for this race. The event, held at one of California's most challenging dirt tracks, has long been looked forward to by NARC competitors and fans, and the list of past winners of the race reads like a who's who of west coast sprint car racing. Jason Meyers, a future two-time World of Outlaws champion, won the inaugural event in 2002. National Sprint Car Hall of Famer Brent Kaeding won it twice in the latter years of his legendary career. A young kid named Kyle Larson, years before the NASCAR world got to know him, was the 2010 winner of the race. NARC champions such as D.J. Netto and Kyle Hirst are also past winners. Last year's Chris & Brian Faria Memorial was rained out on its original sprint date, but the series and Thunderbowl Raceway were able to reschedule the event to October 12th, and it was Cole Macedo picking up the victory that night. Netto, who lives just down the road from Thunderbowl Raceway in Hanford, currently leads the NARC point standings after two completed events aboard the Netto Ag No. 88N. With his win in the season opening event at Stockton Dirt Track, followed by his fourth place run at the Mini Gold Cup at Silver Dollar Speedway, Netto carries a five-point advantage over Templeton's Kaleb Montgomery. Montgomery, having driven two different cars in two races, turned in Top 5 finishes each time, including a third-place effort at the Mini Gold Cup. WHO TO WATCH Justin Sanders, after a tough month of March, bounced back in a big way at Silver Dollar Speedway, winning the Mini Gold Cup after a last lap battle with Tanner Holmes. With the $10,000 NARC victory at Chico, the reigning NARC "King of the West" clawed back to sixth in the standings, only 12 points out of the lead and feeling that momentum is back on the side of the Mittry Motorsports No. 2x. Fremont's Shane Golobic enters the night third in the NARC point standings aboard the Matt Wood Racing No. 17w. While Golobic did not fare well in the Faria Memorial race last October, he was victorious in the NARC race at the Tulare clay oval in May. Golobic has been competitive at Thunderbowl Raceway, logging many top five and top ten finishes over the years, including a seventh place run just last month with the High Limit Racing series during their spring California swing. Others expected to compete include Roseville's Sean Becker and Ryan Bernal, Lincoln's Tanner Carrick, San Jose's Tim Kaeding, Oakley's Dylan Bloomfield, Tyler Thompson from Oregon, Arizona's Ashton Torgerson, Chance Grasty from Suisun City, Campbell's Bud Kaeding, Benicia's Billy Aton, John Clark from Windsor, Landon Brooks from Rio Oso, and many others. Central California will be well represented in the pit area with competitors including two-time series champion Dominic Scelzi and Gauge Garcia from Fresno, 2024 Rookie of the Year Caeden Steele of Lemoore, and Dominic Gorden and Mariah Ede from Clovis. FAN INFO It will be all sprint cars on Saturday night at Thunderbowl Raceway, as winged 360 Kings of Thunder sprint cars and California Racesaver sprints will also be in action. The NARC portion of the program includes qualifying, three eight-lap heat races, a six-lap trophy dash, and a 30-lap feature event headliner. Tickets will be available at the front gate for fans. Grandstand tickets are $35, and $33 for seniors. Bleacher seats are $30 for adults, $28 for seniors and $15 for kids 12 and under. Pit passes are $45.

  SCCT heads for Merced Speedway this Saturday April 19

  Merced, CA…Over the last handful of years Merced Speedway has established itself as one of the more popular dirt tracks in California. This Saturday night, the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour will compete at the bullring for the second round of the season. The Merced Speedway happens to be one of the more centrally located tracks in California, which should make for a solid field from throughout the Northern and Central part of our state. The always action-packed quarter mile lies one hour and 45 minutes from Sacramento and just under an hour from Fresno. "We are excited to host the Sprint Car Challenge Tour at Merced Speedway this Saturday," commented track GM Doug Lockwood. "We don't have that many Sprint Car shows in Merced, but when we do, it's always a special time. It should be an outstanding field of competitors this weekend and it's your only chance to catch a Winged Sprint Car event here until November, so hopefully everyone can come out and fill these grandstands." The www.shopkylelarson.com A-main will hand out $3,000-to-win/ $400-to-start on Saturday. The track will also host an Easter Egg/ Candy Hunt during intermission on the front stretch to celebrate Easter Weekend. Teams are asked to please bring some candy for the kids during it. Opening night with the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour last month saw Shane Golobic race to his 17th career series win. This Saturday the Fremont veteran hopes to become the sixth different winner in as many SCCT races held at Merced Speedway. Fresno's Dominic Scelzi grabbed a Sprint Car Challenge Tour triumph at Merced in 2023 and recorded a runner-up finish during the SCCT opener in March. The two-time NARC champion is always a favorite in the Golden State and should be certain contender at the "Clash on the High Banks." Aromas driver Justin Sanders is fresh off a $10,000 score at the Mini Gold Cup and looks to back that up with a Merced Speedway victory on Saturday. Sanders was victorious during the SCCT stop at the track last season and brought home a top five at the opener in March. The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour made its Merced debut in 2019, an event claimed by Roseville's Jodie Robinson, who has shown immense speed so far this year driving for Weiher Racing once again. More drivers looking to take home the top prize at the Clash on the High Banks will include 2021 Merced SCCT winner Colby Copeland from Roseville, Sacramento's Austin Wood, Suisun City's Chance Grasty, Lincoln's Tanner Carrick, Clovis' Dominic Gorden, Templeton's Kaleb Montgomery, Hanford's DJ Netto, recent Ocean Speedway winner Seth Standley of Yuba City, Placerville's Shane Hopkins, Marysville brothers Carson and Dawson Hammes, Livermore's Travis Labat, Arizona driver Corbin Rueschenberg, Brentwood's Adriana Demartini, Fresno's Mariah Ede and others. Tickets and Details: Adult tickets for the Clash on the High Banks this Saturday April 19th cost $25, juniors will be $10, while kids 10 and under are free. The pit gate will open at 3pm, with the front gate opening at 5pm. Racing is slated to begin around 7pm. The muffler rule will be as follows: Flowmaster, SpinTech, Schoenfeld 14272735-78 or Extreme mufflers only. The Merced Speedway is located at 900 Martin Luther King Jr. Way, Merced, California 95431.

  Dominic Gorden, Shane Golobic, Hunter Kinney and Ryan Peter score Placerville wins

  Placerville, CA…Dominic Gorden got by Andy Forsberg on lap two and led the remaining distance to snag his second career Thompson's Winged Sprint Car triumph at Placerville Speedway on Saturday. Gorden's win came aboard the familiar Fortitude Driver Development/ Silva's Natural Beef No. 10 mount. He was joined in victory lane by Shane Golobic with the BCRA/WMR/USAC Midgets, Hunter Kinney with the BCRA Lightning Sprints and Ryan Peter with the Red Hawk Resort + Casino Pure Stocks. Opening night winner Andy Forsberg led the initial lap of the Thompson's Family of Dealerships Winged Sprint Car feature on Saturday. Dominic Gorden wasted little time blasting his way into the top spot however, and after that he kept the 20-car field at bay. Gorden, who earned his first career Placerville Speedway win last August during the Forni-Humphreys Classic, motored off to grab the checkered flag after 25-laps of racing. Forsberg brought home a runner-up finish while fending off youngster Austin Wood during the later stages of the contest. Wood crossed the stripe in third, followed by Max Mittry and Tony Gomes in the top five. The race for second through fifth provided some of the most entertainment during the main event. Rounding out the top 10 were Chance Grasty, Josh Young, Shane Hopkins, Joey Ancona and Tanner Carrick. A healthy 35 car field was in action for the "Prospectors Pursuit" on Saturday. Jodie Robinson began the evening by earning the ADCO Driveline & Custom Exhaust Fast Time Award with a blistering lap of 10.581. Shane Golobic prevailed in Saturday night's inaugural running of the new BCRA/WMR California Super Series, topping a 25-car turnout in the event co-sanctioned by the USAC Avanti Windows & Doors Western States Midgets. TJ Smith took the lead into turn one with Golobic sliding into second. 2024 BCRA Midget champion Caden Sarale of Stockton drove underneath Broedy Graham of Bakersfield for third on the second lap down the backstretch. Smith led Golobic into lapped traffic before a red flag for Graham flipping in turn one. 15-year-old Jett Yantis of Bakersfield challenged Sarale for third on the restart. Golobic drove to the inside of Smith to challenge for the lead on lap 11 but was unable to make the pass down the backstretch. Dale Johnston of Olivehurst flipped in turn one for the next stoppage on lap 13. Golobic charged to the outside of Smith on the restart. He led by a nose down the front stretch to lead lap 14, then completed the pass on lap 15 in turn 4. Golobic sailed to a three second advantage to win the inaugural race for the BCRA/WMR Super Series, co-sanctioned by USAC. Citrus Heights racer Hunter Kinney put on a clinic with the Bay Cities Racing Association Lightning Sprints on Saturday. Kinney was dominant aboard the Savage Racing No. 3f during the program and led every lap en route to the win. Defending series champion Greg Dennett tallied a runner up finish ahead of Jake Morgan, Dakota Albright and Matt Land. Just like Kinney, Rio Linda's Ryan Peter was ultra impressive with the Red Hawk Resort + Casino Pure Stocks at the "Prospectors Pursuit." Tommy Sturgeon led the opening circuit until Peter charged by for the top spot on lap two. He had his way with things up front, as six-time track champion Nick Baldwin moved his way forward. Baldwin got into second with 14 laps complete and looked to challenge the leader. Peter was calm, cool and collected up front though, and crossed the Ron Stahl checkered flag for his fourth career Pure Stock victory at Placerville Speedway. Baldwin, Jason Palmer, Kevin Jinkerson and Tyler Lightfoot completed the top five. Placerville Speedway continues its 60th anniversary season this coming Saturday April 12th with the "Tilford Tribute" race. On hand will be the Kings Meats Ltd. Late Models, the Red Hawk Resort + Casino Pure Stocks, the Mountain Democrat Mini Trucks and the West Coast Pro Stocks.

  Prospectors Pursuit brings Winged Sprint Cars, Midgets, Lightning Sprints and Pure Stocks to Placerville

  Placerville, CA…The Berco Redwood championship season continues this Saturday at Placerville Speedway with an exciting trio of Open Wheel divisions being joined by the Red Hawk Resort + Casino Pure Stocks. After hosting the Sprint Car Challenge Tour last weekend, the El Dorado County Fairgrounds bullring is set to resume the Berco Redwood/ Hoosier Tire/ Coors Light championship point season at the "Prospectors Pursuit." The Thompson's Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Cars are ready for their second point race of the season on Saturday. Auburn's Andy Forsberg, the 10-time track champ, picked up his 73rd Winged 360 victory at the track on opening night. It turned out to be a close battle to the finish between himself and 15-year-old Austin Wood of Sacramento. Both Forsberg and Wood ran in the top five with SCCT last week and figure to be among the front runners at the Prospectors Pursuit. Lincoln's Tanner Carrick, Suisun City's Chance Grasty and Redding's Max Mittry finished third through fifth respectively at the opener two weeks ago. The Red Hawk Resort + Casino Pure Stocks also contest their second point race of 2025 on Saturday. Oakley's Nick Baldwin showed that he is still the man to beat on opening night by snagging his 33rd career Placerville triumph. Diamond Springs' Kevin Jinkerson has been a mark of consistency for the last several years and ran second on opening night ahead of Tommy Sturgeon, Wayne Trimble and Tyler Lightfoot. Saturday's Prospector Pursuit marks the debut race for the new California Super Series featuring the Bay Cities Racing Association and Western Midget Racing. Adding to the excitement will be the USAC Western States Midgets, as all three of the Midget organizations in the Golden State take part in a "Nor-Cal Challenge." Rounding out the card will be the BCRA Lightning Sprints, who also open their 2025 campaign. Livermore's Greg Dennet captured three wins last season en route to the title. Tickets and Details: Grandstand seating at the Prospectors Pursuit will be general admission on Saturday April 5th, except for the reserved seats allocated to season ticket holders that are marked.

  Shane Golobic strikes gold at SCCT opener in Placerville

  Placerville, CA…Fremont's Shane Golobic took the lead on lap 15 and went on to score his 17th career Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour victory on opening night at Placerville Speedway. Golobic's triumph during the "Thrill on the Hill" topped a solid 41-car field and came aboard the familiar Matt Wood Racing/ NOS Energy Drink No. 17w mount. "It feels good to get another win in Placerville with SCCT," commented Golobic. "I wasn't sure how the track would be in the feature, but it turned out good and got a little tricky with the curb, which is what I like here. Dominic Scelzi made it close at the end and I could feel his pressure on the bottom. Luckily, I hit some good laps at the end, and we came out on top." Two-time and reigning SCCT champion Andy Forsberg started on the pole of the Shop Kyle Larson main event by way of capturing the High Sierra Industries Dash. The Auburn veteran climbed out to the early lead in the 35-lap contest and attempted to keep Golobic at bay once lapped traffic came into play. Racing through the traffic Golobic, Suisun City's Chance Grasty and Modesto's Tony Gomes all bunched up. A caution period brought the hot and hectic action to a stop, but the intensity continued once going back green. Golobic hounded Forsberg in exciting fashion and made a bold move up high to grab the lead as they crossed the line to finish lap 15. Once out front the three-time Trophy Cup champion had his way with things, as racing behind him continued to keep fans on the edge of their seats. Fresno's Dominic Scelzi started from row five and methodically worked his way forward while running the lower portion of the speedway. He moved into the top five with 10 circuits left and then claimed second with five to go. A final race shootout saw Scelzi try his best to do something with the leader, but Golobic was too smooth upstairs and crossed the checkered flag for the win. Scelzi came home in second to cap off an impressive run aboard the Scelzi Ent. No. 41 machine. After winning last week's Placerville point opener, Forsberg came back to round out the podium at the helm of the Pacific Highway Rentals No. 92. Sacramento's Austin Wood had another tremendous night finishing in fourth, while Aromas driver Justin Sanders completed the top five. Rounding out the top 10 in the feature were Grasty, 15th starter Tanner Carrick, 17th starting Sean Becker, Justyn Cox and Bubba Decaires. Becker's run from 17th to eighth netted him the Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Award. As noted, a strong field of 41 Winged Sprint Cars competed on opening night, which saw Tony Gomes earn the Sierra Foothills Wine Services Fast Time Award by clocking a 10.521 around the quarter mile. The companion Nor-Cal Dwarf Car Association main event provided several thrills of its own. In the end it was local product Shawn Whitney grabbing the checkered to earn yet another victory on the red clay. Mike Grenert, Dylan Shrum, Jace Badeker and Brenden Shrum rounded out the top five. The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour returns to action on Saturday April 19th at Merced Speedway. Placerville Speedway is back at it this coming Saturday April 5th with the "Prospectors Pursuit" featuring Winged Sprint Cars, Midgets, Lightning Sprints and Pure Stocks.

  Forsberg edges Wood for record tying Tribute to Al Hinds win

  Placerville, CA…Ten-time Placerville Speedway champion Andy Forsberg held off a fast-closing Austin Wood to score his fourth Tribute to Al Hinds triumph on Saturday night. With his win the Auburn veteran matched Justin Sanders for the most all-time Tribute to Al Hinds victories. It marked his 73rd career Winged 360 Sprint Car win on the red clay and came aboard the Pacific Highway Rentals No. 92 mount. "I felt like I was cruising along out there and all of a sudden here comes this youngster Austin Wood," Forsberg commented. "He's like 14 and I'm definitely older than that, so it shows the wide gap of generations we have out here. It's cool to win another Al Hinds race. Back in the day I would go up in the stands with Al when he was still around just to chat, and we really miss that guy." Forsberg earned the pole in the feature by way of "Striking Gold" in his heat race, winning it from starting position number four. He had his way with things for much of the contest as drivers raced for position behind him. With the main event winding down, Austin Wood and Tanner Carrick began exchanging the runner up spot back and forth. Carrick provided some of the most excitement in the feature, while going four wheels above the cushion in turn three. Wood was able to prevail in that dogfight and began to reel in Forsberg as the white flag waved. Rounding the final corners, Wood slipped to his inside, but Forsberg was able to nip him at the line for the win. Carrick, Chance Grasty and Max Mittry completed the top five. Rounding out the top 10 were Colby Copeland, Bubba Decaires, Steven Kent, Josh Young and Justyn Cox. A total of 30 Thompson's Winged Sprints competed on opening night. Tanner Carrick began the evening by setting the ADCO Driveline Fast Time with a lap of 10.581. Roseville's Josh Young dominated the 25-lap Joe Hunt Magnetos Wingless Tour main event on Saturday. It was sweet redemption for Young, who got upside down wildly in qualifying at the Hunt Tour opener in Stockton recently. Placerville's Shane Hopkins led the opening circuit, before the red flag waved as Jake Morgan got upside down battling for the leader entering turn three. After going back to green Young blasted into the lead and never looked back to snag the win. Bryant Bell, Shane Hopkins, Brent Steck and Braidon Moniz rounded out the top five. Finishing sixth through tenth were Joshua Wooten, Eathon Lanfri, Paul Vandenberg, Jeff Scotto and Heath Holdsclaw. Six-time and defending Red Hawk Resort + Casino Pure Stock champion Nick Baldwin added yet another Placerville Speedway victory to his resume on Saturday. Rio Linda's Ryan Peter led early, before Baldwin came charging for the lead on lap five. The Oakley driver led the remainder to score his 33rd career Placerville triumph over Kevin Jinkerson, Tommy Sturgeon, Wayne Trimble and Tyler Lightfoot. The Mountain Democrat Mini Trucks provided some late race drama with multi-time track titlist Mike Miller making a move with just a few laps left to tally another victory. Paizlee Miller led the opening lap, until Howard Miller drove past to lead much of the race. M. Miller then found another gear and came forward as the laps wound down. Howard and Mike ran side by side in thrilling fashion during the final laps, which saw Mike prevail by less than a truck length. Noah LaPoint, Brycen Bragg and Michael Barreno ran third through fifth. Placerville Speedway returns to action this coming Saturday March 29th with the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour and Nor-Cal Dwarf Cars.

  Tribute to Al Hinds 'Take 2' opens 60th anniversary season at Placerville Speedway

  Placerville, CA…Coming off a rainout last weekend Placerville Speedway is now ready to open its 60th anniversary season with the 22nd annual "Tribute to Al Hinds" tackling the red clay on Saturday. Divisions set to kick-off the Berco Redwood/ Hoosier Tires championship season will include the Thompson's Family of Dealerships Winged Sprint Cars, the Red Hawk Resort + Casino Pure Stocks, the Mountain Democrat Mini Trucks and the Joe Hunt Magnetos Wingless Tour. Please note the grandstands open at 4pm this season, one hour later than previous years. Live music and Coors Light/ Coors Banquet Happy Hour will continue to be held from 4-6pm.

Hinds was the second promoter of Placerville Speedway. He took operation of the track with business partner Richard Hirst from its founder, Bruno Romani, in 1968, three years after it first opened when the facility was built around an existing community football field. The operator of a local machine shop by trade, Hinds loved the community where he lived. In his final years of life, he enjoyed sitting with some of his best friends every night in the grandstands at Placerville Speedway and loved watching young talent make a name for themselves in the sport. The inaugural Tribute to Al Hinds was captured by Roger Crockett, while last season saw Shane Golobic snag his initial triumph in the event. Track champions last season with the Thompson's Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Cars, Red Hawk Resort + Casino Pure Stocks and Mountain Democrat Mini Trucks included Auburn's Andy Forsberg, Oakley's Nick Baldwin and Placerville's Mike Miller respectively. This Saturday's event marks round two for the traveling Joe Hunt Magnetos Wingless Tour. Elk Grove's Jake Morgan snagged the Hunt Tour opener at the Stockton Dirt Track recently over Bob Newberry. The series always puts on a can't miss show at the Placerville bullring. Tickets and Details: Grandstand seating at the Tribute to Al Hinds will be general admission on Saturday March 22nd, except for the reserved seats allocated to season ticket holders that are marked.
