  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. Front gates open at 4:00 p.m. Hot laps are scheduled for 5:00 p.m. with qualifying at 6:00 and racing beginning at 7:00 p.m. For first time visitors, Thunderbowl Raceway is located at the Tulare County Fairgrounds on K Street. ABOUT NARC The Northern Auto Racing Club is the premier 410-winged sprint car series in the western United States.

  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.

  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.

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."

  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. The Tribute to Al Hinds began in 2004 following the passing of early track promoter and mentor, Al Hinds, a longtime Placerville resident and true race fan that touched the lives of many. 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. Adult tickets cost $20, while seniors 62+, military and juniors 12-17 will be $18. Kids 6-11 cost $8 and those five and under are free. Tickets can be purchased at the gate or online via https://www.eventsprout.com/event/psr032225 The pit gate will open at noon, with the front gate opening at 4pm. Hirst Home Team Happy Hour is offered until 6pm in the grandstands featuring live music with discounted Coors Light and Coors Original at the beer booth.

  Tribute to Al Hinds launches 60th anniversary season at Placerville Speedway

  Placerville, CA…Placerville Speedway is prepared to open its 60th season of action on Saturday by honoring a man that had a key role in making it all possible, with the 22nd annual "Tribute to Al Hinds" tackling the red clay. Divisions set to christen 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, Ltd. Late Models and the BCRA Lightning Sprints. Please note the grandstands will 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. The Tribute to Al Hinds began in 2004 following the passing of early track promoter and mentor, Al Hinds, a longtime Placerville resident and true race fan that touched the lives of many. 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 Ltd. Late Models included Auburn's Andy Forsberg, Oakley's Nick Baldwin and Martinez' Anthony Slaney respectively. Tickets and Details: Grandstand seating at the Tribute to Al Hinds will be general admission on Saturday March 15th, except for the reserved seats allocated to season ticket holders that are marked. Adult tickets cost $18, while seniors 62+, military and juniors 12-17 will be $16. Kids 6-11 cost $8 and those five and under are free. Tickets can be purchased at the gate or online via https://www.eventsprout.com/event/psr031525 The pit gate will open at noon, with the front gate opening at 4pm. Happy Hour is offered until 6pm in the grandstands featuring live music with discounted Coors Light and Coors Original at the beer booth. The pit meeting will be held at 4:45pm with cars on track at 5:15. Hot laps, ADCO Driveline qualifying and racing will follow.
