  Cotton Classic on deck for Sprint Car Challenge Tour at Kings Speedway Friday

  Hanford, CA…As the season begins to wind down the Sprint Car Challenge Tour is poised to head for the Kings Speedway in Hanford this Friday October 4th. The 39th annual "Cotton Classic" presented by Penny Newman Grain is the third to last race of the campaign for the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour. This Friday also begins a busy and much-anticipated month of October for Sprint Car racing in the Golden State. The Cotton Classic has been one of the long-standing and prestigious showcases in the Central Valley over the years. Apart from 2014, it has been held at the Kings County Fairgrounds venue every season since the mid-1980's. This weekend's huge double header in Hanford also includes the "Morrie Williams Memorial" on Saturday night showcasing the NARC 410 Sprint Cars. Fresh off his initial Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour victory of the season, Auburn's Andy Forsberg goes into Hanford holding a large 110-point lead in the standings. The driver of the Pacific Highway Rentals No. 92 is looking to claim the Russell Motorsports Double Down Bonus after locking up the Placerville Speedway title last month. If he brings home the SCCT title, it will mark championship 28 for Mr. Excitement and he would walk away with $20,000 for winning both. El Cajon's Braden Chiaramonte will be gunning for a strong run at Kings Speedway on Friday aboard the Tiner-Hirst Ent. No. 94TH mount. The 17-year-old continues to rank second in the SCCT points and has been impressive throughout his Garth Moore Insurance Rookie campaign. Fellow youngster Dylan Bloomfield holds down third in the standings and has been knocking on the door of SCCT victory lane at times. The pilot of the Vertullo Racing No. 83v hopes to park it on Friday at the 39th annual Cotton Classic presented by Penny Newman Grain. Placerville's Shane Hopkins has put together the finest season of his Sprint Car career and is coming off a run from 19th to 5th at Petaluma, where he earned the Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Award. Hopkins has driven the High Sierra Industries No. 21 to six top five finishes in Sprint Car Challenge Tour competition. Rounding out the top 10 in points with three races remaining are Roseville's Colby Copeland, Livermore's Travis Labat, Hanford's Michael Faccinto, Yuba City's Seth Standley, Arizona racer Corbin Rueschenberg and Roseville's Sean Becker. Following the Cotton Classic in Hanford, SCCT will remain in the Central Valley for a date with Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare next week on Saturday October 12th.

  Andy Forsberg strikes for SCCT Adobe Cup glory at Petaluma Speedway

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

  SCCT season resumes with 13th annual Adobe Cup in Petaluma Saturday

  Petaluma, CA…For the third consecutive season the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour is primed to sanction the $5,000-to-win "Adobe Cup" at Petaluma Speedway this Saturday September 21st. The evening of family fun at the 13th annual Adobe Cup marks the final season appearance for SCCT at Sonoma County's longest running entertainment venue. Following this Saturday's outing the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour will have just three events remaining in 2024. Adding to the excitement at the event will be the annual Bob McCoy Super Stock Memorial. The familiar Petaluma 3/8-mile oval routinely produces thrilling wheel-to-wheel racing, as lapped traffic can create some of the most frenetic competition of any venue on tour. Please note the facility features an earlier start time, with the Pit Meeting at 4pm and cars on track at 4:30. "We look forward to having the Sprint Car Challenge Tour as part of the 13th annual Adobe Cup this weekend," said Petaluma Promoter Rick Faeth. "Petaluma Speedway doesn't hold as many Winged Sprint Car shows nowadays, but the fans have certainly flocked to the track when we have. The Bob McCoy Memorial has also become a big stock car race, so we think this will be a superb two division program for everyone to attend." This Saturday's Adobe Cup marks the first event for the Sprint Car Challenge Tour since finishing up Speedweek in July. Fresh off wrapping up the Placerville Speedway title last week, Andy Forsberg heads into Petaluma Speedway holding a 74-point lead in the SCCT standings. The Auburn driver is searching to bring home the Russell Motorsports Inc. Double Down Bonus if he can also secure the tour championship. Forsberg, who captured SCCT Speedweek, will be in search of his first Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour victory of the season to try and fend off young Braden Chiaramonte for the title. The El Cajon driver had spent time atop the standings, until encountering issues during SCCT Speedweek. Chiaramonte claimed a SCCT triumph at Antioch in June and will look to grab another at the Adobe Cup. Oakley's Dylan Bloomfield, Roseville's Colby Copeland and Placerville's Shane Hopkins round out the top five in points going into the Adobe Cup. Hopkins has been one of the more consistent drivers throughout California when it comes to Winged 360 racing this year. More drivers looking to take on the famed Petaluma gumbo will include Livermore's Travis Labat, Roseville's Sean Becker and Jodie Robinson, Cotati's Jake Haulot, Sebastopol's Bradley Terrell, Windsor's John Clarke, Chico's Brad Bumgarner, Dunnigan's Luke Hayes and others. Tickets and Details: Adult tickets at Petaluma Speedway this Saturday September 21st cost $25 while seniors, juniors and military with ID are $22. Kids 6-11 will be $10, with five and under being admitted free. Tickets can be purchased via https://www.myracepass.com/tracks/1869/tickets/1416915 or at the gate on Saturday. Seating is general admission. The pit gate will open at noon, with the front grandstand gate opening at 4pm. The pit meeting will be held at 4pm with cars on track at 4:30. Hot laps, Sierra Foothills Wine Services qualifying, and racing will follow. The event will follow the standard SCCT muffler rule, which is either the Large Flowmaster or Large Spintech Muffler as described in the rulebook.

  Tony Gomes races to Coors Light Big Trophy Night win/ Andy Forsberg claims 10th Placerville title

  Placerville, CA…Modesto's Tony Gomes tallied his second Thompson's Winged Sprint Car win of the season on Saturday at Placerville Speedway, while Auburn's Andy Forsberg secured his 10th career track championship. Fellow winners on Coors Light Big Trophy Championship Night included Ray Trimble with the Mountain Democrat Late Models, Nick Baldwin with the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks and Austin Struthers with the Mountain Democrat Mini Trucks. Martinez driver Anthony Slaney locked up the Late Model title, with Baldwin earning his sixth Pure Stock championship. Mike Miller also claimed his third Mini Truck title on Saturday. The 25-lap Sprint Car feature began with Jodie Robinson, Andy Forsberg and Tony Gomes battling up front. Multiple different leaders were seen in the main event, with Forsberg up front until Robinson drove by early on. Several cautions plagued the contest over the first five laps, but in between them the action continued to be hot and heavy. Restarts made things interesting, and Gomes soon found his groove, getting into second on lap nine. He then made the move by Robinson on lap 10 and looked to pull away from the pack. Placerville's Shane Hopkins was also on the charge from his 12th starting spot. Hopkins ran the bottom side to perfection and grabbed second on lap 16. Lapped traffic late in the going made things hectic for Gomes, which allowed Hopkins to close the gap. Gomes hit his marks however and crossed under the Ron Stahl checkered flag for victory over Hopkins, Robinson, Bubba Decaires and Jake Andreotti in the top-five. Forsberg crossed the stripe in sixth and it was good enough to wrap up championship 10 at Placerville. Decaires finished second, just seven markers back, while Gomes missed out on the title by only nine points. Ray Trimble started from the front row in the Mountain Democrat Late Model feature and led every step of the way en route to victory. Dan Brown Jr. came home in second, followed by Matt Micheli, Rod Oliver and Tyler Lightfoot. Anthony Slaney had battled his way towards the front at one point until getting crossed up while making a bid for the lead and ended up eighth. He finished up with five wins this season en route to the title. With the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks, it was Sacramento's Jason Poppert leading the way early on. Poppert has shown immense speed this season and looked to park it in victory lane on Big Trophy Night. Nick Baldwin hounded Poppert though and on lap 10 made a beautiful outside move to grab the point. Baldwin led the remainder for his seventh win of the year to lock up the title. Poppert, Ryan Peter, Tyler Lightfoot and Kevin Jinkerson rounded out the top-five. The final Mountain Democrat Mini Truck race of 2024 was all about Austin Struthers, who picked up his first win of the season. Paige Miller, Luke Costa, Paizlee Miller and Bobby Clark completed the top-five. Mike Miller battled towards the front until encountering issues that left him with a seventh-place result. It was still good enough to win his third track title.

  Austin Wood races to initial Sprint Car victory at Placerville Speedway

  Placerville, CA…Fourteen-year-old Micro graduate Austin Wood has been nothing short of impressive during his rookie campaign at Placerville Speedway. After showing consistency all season, the Sacramento driver was able to park it in victory lane for the first time in his young Sprint Car career on Saturday night. Sharing victory lane on Anrak Night at the Races were Cade Lewis with the USAC/BCRA Midgets, Jake Morgan with the BCRA Lightning Sprints and Nick Baldwin with the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks. The 25-lap Thompson's Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Car main event started off a little ragged, but once things got going, it was Austin Wood setting the pace over Ashton Torgerson. A multi-car incident on lap six then saw Torgerson get caught up in it, forcing him to the rear of the field. Numerous slowdowns were seen in the feature, but Wood hit his marks on each restart. Suisun City youngster Chance Grasty gave chase after the leader and looked very strong all night long. Grasty had to fend off several challenges from Lincoln's Tanner Carrick as the race wound down as well. With a couple circuits remaining Grasty closed fast on Wood and made it a battle for the lead. The final lap saw the duo race nose to tail down to the checkered flag, which saw Wood edge out Grasty to claim the big win. Carrick crossed the stripe in third, followed by point leader Andy Forsberg and 17th starter Tony Gomes, who was the Hard Charger after winning the B-main. Rounding out the top-10 were Bubba Decaires, Dustin Freitas, Camden Robustelli, Izaak Sharp and Jake Haulot. The USAC Western States/ BCRA Midget 30-lap main event began with TJ Smith jumping out to the early lead. Tanner Carrick was doing double duty in both the Midget and Sprint Car on Saturday, and quickly found the high side to his liking. Current USAC point leader Cade Lewis slow rolled the bottom to perfection however, as he sliced his way into the top-spot on lap eight. After that it was all Lewis up front who cruised to the Ron Stahl checkered flag ahead of Carrick, Smith, Brandon Wiley and Drake Edwards. Fair Oaks racer Jake Morgan made a start with the BCRA Lightning Sprints on Saturday and drove to victory during their annual Tracy Taylor Memorial. Hunter Kinney stalked him every step of the way but couldn't make the pass and settled for a runner up finish. Tyler Gerdes, Matt Land and Bradley Schmidt completed the top-five. The Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks continued their trend of providing exciting racing in the main event. Jason Poppert has shown speed at times this year and led the opening stages of the feature. Current runner up in the standings Kevin Jinkerson then carved his way by for the top-spot on lap seven. Poppert stayed close however, as the action was hot and heavy throughout the pack. The complexion of the race changed when contact ensued between Jinkerson and Poppert while battling for the point on lap 17. Jinkerson ultimately came to a stop, while Poppert was put to the rear in a rough driving call. Five-time track champ and point leader Nick Baldwin now found himself out front and he would lead the remainder for win number six on the season. Tyler Lightfoot, Wayne Trimble, Tommy Sturgeon and David Silva rounded out the top-five.

  Jock Goodyer surges to Nor*Cal Posse Shootout triumph

  Placerville, CA…After driving back from Washington on Friday in time for this weekends Nor*Cal Posse Shootout, Australian 360 Sprint Car champion Jock Goodyer put on a clinic Sunday night, scoring his initial Placerville Speedway victory. The Launceston, TAS, Australia wheelman piloted the Kevin Kozlowski owned Works Limited No. 57w, wrenched by Paul Silva, to an $8,000 score during the 7th running of the Nor*Cal Posse Shootout presented by Berco Redwood. Sharing victory lane on Sunday night was Roseville driver Brent Steck, who earned a $5,000 win in the High Sierra West Coast Wingless Shootout portion of the evening. The 35-lap Winged 360 Sprint Car feature started out with Fresno's Caeden Steele leading the opening circuit, until Goodyer made the move under him to grab the point. At that same time Steele's car broke loose and he looped it to a stop, bringing out a caution with one lap down. Once out front Goodyer had his way with things and withstood multiple restarts, keeping the rest of the field at bay. He went on to accept the Ron Stahl checkered flag for his first career victory in the United States. Placerville's own Shane Hopkins continued his fantastic season with another strong run after starting from position number 11. The driver of the High Sierra Industries No. 21 made several precision-based moves to charge forward and grab second from Monrovia, Indiana's Justin Peck with three laps remaining. Hopkins closed the gap slightly but couldn't do anything with Goodyer as the race wrapped up. Lincoln's Tanner Carrick put together a solid run and was able to nip Peck at the line to round out the podium. After competing with Kubota High Limit Racing on Saturday at Skagit Speedway, Peck made the 13-hour drive south to compete for owner Clayton Snow. He was rewarded with a fourth-place finish, while 14th starter Chance Grasty rounded out the podium. Completing the top 10 were Dylan Bloomfield, Cody Key, 18th starter Colby Copeland, Sean Becker and Tony Gomes. Copeland's run from 18th to eighth netted him the $425 Hard Charger Award in memory of Davy Thomas. A total of 31 Winged Sprint Cars returned to cap the Nor*Cal Posse Shootout presented by Berco Redwood. Caeden Steele began the evening by earning fast time with a lap of 10.714. The High Sierra West Coast Wingless Shootout main event saw a very popular winner in the form of Brent Steck, who battled to the lead on lap six and withstood a late challenge by Shawn Jones. Dylan Newberry jumped out front early and paced the opening laps until Steck was able to slice his way past. The bottom side was the preferred groove for the wingless warriors however, Shawn Jones gave it a try upstairs. Picking off cars one by one the San Jose driver carved his way into second with six laps remaining and then took his shot on a restart. Jones blasted to the high side to grab the top-spot and lead lap 22. Jones then caught the cushion just hard enough though to turn the car sideways and send him over the banking for a yellow. Steck then led the final few circuits to grab the triumph over Newberry, Saturday winner Shane Hopkins, Anthony Bruno and Heath Holdsclaw. Twenty-one Wingless Sprints returned on Sunday with Newberry setting fast time to begin the program. Placerville Speedway now gears up for the penultimate championship point race of the season this Saturday September 7th. Anrak Night at the Races will feature the Thompson's Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Cars, the USAC Western States Midgets, BCRA Lightning Sprints and the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks.

  Willie Croft strikes for victory on night one of the Nor*Cal Posse Shootout

  Placerville, CA…Making the final Placerville Speedway starts of his career this weekend, Colfax driver Willie Croft proceeded to make it count by racing to victory on opening night of the Nor*Cal Posse Shootout presented by Berco Redwood. Sharing victory lane on Saturday during the High Sierra West Coast Wingless Shootout portion of the night was Placerville's own Shane Hopkins. The 30-lap Winged 360 Sprint Car finale began with Roseville's Colby Copeland putting the Van Lare Steering Repair No. 5v out front. Dash winner Croft stalked his every move however, as close battles were seen all throughout the field. The complexion of the race then changed on lap 11 though, as the yellow flag waved for a car slowing down the back stretch. Unfortunately for Copeland, heartbreak city occurred when he got upside down in turn three along with Ryan Rocha while avoiding the slowing car. Both drivers were okay but done for the night. Croft now found himself out front with Modesto's Tony Gomes moving into the runner up spot. Several movers and shakers were seen in the main event, including Shane Hopkins, who charged from 16th to third by lap 12. Gomes kept leader Croft withing his sights and at one point, made the move to slide in front of him entering turn three. The veteran driver stayed poised though and sliced back to his inside, maintaining the point. A final caution then occurred with three circuits remaining. On the restart Croft blasted away from the pack to accept the Ron Stahl checkered flag aboard his Grinders Automotive/ Rudeen Racing No. 29. It marked his fifth career Winged 360 Sprint Car triumph at Placerville Speedway, ironically tying him with Gomes and fellow veteran Jimmy Trulli, who also wraps up his driving career this season. Gomes crossed the stripe in second, with Hopkins finishing off a stellar run from row eight to round out the podium. Hanford's Michael Faccinto arguably had the run of the night though. After winning the B-main, the driver of the F&F Racing x1 rocketed through the field in aggressive fashion to finish in fourth place after starting from 21st. Redding's Max Mittry also capped a solid night by rounding out the top-five. Completing the top-10 on opening night of the Nor*Cal Posse Shootout presented by Berco Redwood were Lincoln's Tanner Carrick, Australian Jock Goodyear, Suisun City's Chance Grasty, Dunnigan's Luke Hayes and El Cajon's Braden Chiaramonte. A total of 37 Winged Sprint Cars competed on Saturday. Yuba City's Seth Standley earned his first career Placerville fast time award to open the night with a lap of 10.650. The 25-lap main event for the High Sierra West Coast Wingless Shootout started out with Roseville's Josh Young climbing into the lead. Young had earlier set fast time and captured his heat as he worked on a clean sweep of the evening. Several stoppages were seen in the feature, which never allowed drivers to get into a constant flow. Shane Hopkins though had found something through the middle of the speedway and began to march his way forward. The 30-year-old took over second on lap eight and then came after the leader. After hounding Young for the top-spot Hopkins took command on lap 12 and never looked back. The driver of the Cliften & Warren Feed/ MP Operations No. 21 pulled away for his fourth career Wingless Sprint Car win at Placerville Speedway. Young, DJ Johnson, Brent Steck, Dylan Newberry, Eathon Lanfri, Peter Paulson, Tyler Cato, Shannon Newton and Josh Gillis rounded out the top-10.

Grass Valley native and current Placerville resident Brad Sweet brings the point lead into the West Coast Swing. The Placerville Speedway stop hands out $12,000-to-win and is the final Winged 410 Sprint Car event of the season at the quarter mile. Sweet has six wins on the season and sits atop the standings over Indianapolis, Indiana's "Sunshine" Tyler Courtney; Myerstown, Pennsylvania's Brent Marks; St Helena's Rico Abreu and Clovis phenom Corey Day, who is fresh off a third place run at the Knoxville Nationals. California favorites who have competed locally this year that will be sure to challenge the national contingent include Bradway Memorial winner and current NARC point leader Justin Sanders of Aromas, multi-time Placerville winner this year Shane Golobic of Fremont, 9-time track champion Andy Forsberg from Auburn, recent Forni-Humphreys Classic winner Dominic Gorden of Clovis, along with Fresno's Dominic Scelzi, Clarksburg's Justyn Cox, Lincoln's Tanner Carrick, Lemoore's Cole Macedo and others.

"Placerville Speedway is always action packed and I'm excited to compete aboard my NAPA Auto Parts No. 49 car in front of my hometown crowd.

  Forni-Humphreys Classic takes center stage at Placerville Speedway Saturday

  Placerville, CA…The biggest event of the Berco Redwood/ Hoosier Tires championship season invades Placerville Speedway this Saturday August 3rd, with the $8,585.85 to win "Forni-Humphreys Classic" set for action at the El Dorado County Fairgrounds. An exciting four division program will be offered to race fans showcasing the Thompson's Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Cars, who will battle for the $8,585.85 grand prize, along with the Mountain Democrat Ltd. Late Models, the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks and the Nor-Cal Dwarf Car Association. The Forni family has a great history in El Dorado County, with deep ties to the El Dorado County Fairgrounds and much of the land on which it sits. Much like his forefathers, Mark Forni had a great passion for the county fair and its attributes, especially the racetrack. From the time he was a young child and the days when Placerville Speedway was known as Hangtown Speedway, Mark was actively involved with the weekly auto races, always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need involved with the sport he loved. Later in life, Mark continued his contributions to local auto racing, sponsoring many race teams with his business, Forni's Trucking. He later became a member of the El Dorado County Fair Board and focused on the issues regarding the future of the fair and the speedway. Mark Forni believed in working relationships. He understood the importance of race promoters, sponsorships, and the one key element for every event to be successful, the spectator. In November of 2004, Mark was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma. During his final months, Mark had the opportunity to say goodbye to friends and family and spend some special moments with his wife and children, a bittersweet time for those who knew and loved him so much. In the summer of 2005, Mark passed away at the early age of 45. Saturday will also be our way of remembering our fellow fallen friend C.J. Humphreys, who we lost in February of 2023. Affectionately known as the "Happy Camper" C.J. ranks number five in all-time Winged 360 Sprint Car wins on the red clay, having earned 25 victories in his career. He also holds the honor of being the original North vs South Civil War Series champion during the 1991 season. Chris and his No. 85 Sprint Car were as synonymous as any in the Placerville Speedway pit area over the years. His competitive spirit and all-around good-natured attitude have been sorely missed around the track. Saturday's 19th annual Forni-Humphreys Classic is also the final tune-up prior to the Kubota High Limit Racing event on August 17th. Tickets and Details: Grandstand seating is general admission this Saturday August 3rd, except for the reserved seats marked for season ticket holders.

Happy Hour is offered when the gates open until 6pm in the grandstands featuring live music along with discounted Coors Light and Coors Original at the beer booth.

  Tanner Carrick, Anthony Slaney, Nick Baldwin and Mike Miller earn Carnett Clash wins

  Placerville, CA…An entertaining night of racing at the annual Carnett Clash was capped with Lincoln's Tanner Carrick scoring his first Placerville Speedway win of the season on Saturday. Sharing victory lane at the event were Anthony Slaney with the Mountain Democrat Ltd. Late Models, Nick Baldwin with the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks and Mike Miller with the Mountain Democrat Mini Trucks. The 25-lap Thompson's Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Car feature began with Tanner Carrick and youngster Austin Wood going at it for the lead. The pair battled back and forth before Carrick assumed the point that he would never relinquish. Although Carrick officially led for the duration, it did not come easy for the driver of the TC Guide Service No. 83T. Placerville's Shane Hopkins moved into second around lap 11 and began to hound the rear of Carrick, while having to contend with Auburn's Andy Forsberg at the same time. The trio raced close together for several laps in exciting fashion, but Carrick ran a near mistake free race up front. Carrick went on to cross the Ron Stahl checkered flag for his eighth career Placerville Speedway Winged 360 triumph, tying Kalib Henry and Glen Boune on the all-time win list. Hopkins came home in second and became the new point leader by two markers ahead of third place finisher Forsberg. Modesto's Tony Gomes and Elk Grove's Bubba Decaires rounded out the top-five. Completing the top-10 were Luke Hayes, Chance Grasty, Izaak Sharp, Austin Torgerson and Austin Wood. The $1,000 to win Mountain Democrat Ltd. Late Model feature saw Martinez driver Anthony Slaney continue his impressive campaign. Live Oak's Matt Micheli led the early laps as things clicked off fast and furious. Slaney looked ultra-fast though as he charged around the high side of the quarter mile bullring. The current Placerville Speedway point leader took over the lead on lap 10 and went on to hold command for the extent, crossing the stripe for his fourth triumph of the season. Rod Oliver gave it a strong run in second, followed by Micheli, Dan Brown Jr., and Ryan McDaniel. The Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks also showcased a tremendous 25-lap finale, which kept fans on the edge of their seats. Multiple drivers battled it out for the $750 grand prize as part of the Carnett Clash. Tommy Sturgeon led the first couple laps, before Placerville's Tyler Lightfoot charged to the point. Lightfoot has put together a solid campaign in the Pure Stock and cut smooth laps up front, while contending with five-time track champion Nick Baldwin. Lapped traffic made things interesting up front and at one point, Baldwin split the difference as he battled with Lightfoot for the top-spot. With 18 laps complete Baldwin snagged the lead and would go on to lead the final seven circuits for his 30th career Placerville Speedway triumph. Lightfoot came home in second, followed by Kevin Jinkerson, Sturgeon and Wayne Trimble in the top-five. Placerville's Mike Miller continued his mastery of the Mountain Democrat Mini Truck division on Saturday, leading all 20 laps for victory. Luke Costa had one of his best career runs in second, followed by Austin Struthers, Thomas Jensen and Paizlee Miller. Placerville Speedway returns to action this coming Saturday with the $8,500 to win Forni-Humphreys Classic.

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. Martinez driver Anthony Slaney brings the Mountain Democrat Late Model point lead into Saturday on the strength of three wins in five races.

  Shane Golobic wins Speedweek finale at Placerville/ Andy Forsberg brings home championship

  Placerville, CA…A dramatic battle for the SCCT Speedweek title came right down to the wire on Saturday, which saw Auburn's Andy Forsberg fend off Oakley's Dylan Bloomfield by four slim points to wrap up the championship. Fremont's Shane Golobic also held off a hard-charging Justin Sanders of Aromas to win a thrilling Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour main event at Placerville Speedway on Saturday night. Colfax driver Ben Wiesz brought home victory in the Nor-Cal Dwarf Car Association feature. The 35-lap SCCT Speedweek finale showcased an entertaining contest with action all over the Placerville Speedway bullring. Golobic jumped out front at the waving of the Ron Stahl green flag, as he looked to make it three wins in a row during SCCT Western Sprint Speedweek. The action behind him was as good as it gets however, with Andy Forsberg and Dylan Bloomfield locked into several battles while going after the overall championship. Plenty of side-by-side racing was seen and positions changed on the the regular during the main event. The Speedweek title also switched hands on several occasions, while the race for the top-spot heated up as well. Aromas driver Justin Sanders closed in on Golobic as lapped traffic came into play. The fight for the race win and the Speedweek victory kept fans on the edge of their seats in the waning laps. Sanders hounded Golobic and looked to find a way past but couldn't get an opening as Golobic grabbed his third Speedweek win in a row. It marked his 16th career SCCT triumph, which ranks number one all-time. Lincoln's Tanner Carrick had also closed in on the front duo over the closing laps and on the final corner, made the move to nip Sanders at the line for second. Sanders, Hanford's Michael Faccinto and High Sierra Industries Dash winner Austin Wood completed the top-five. Rounding out the top-10 were Chance Grasty, Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Sean Becker, Dylan Bloomfield, Andy Forsberg and Colby Copeland. As the race wound down, Bloomfield looked to be in position for the SCCT Speedweek title but caught the cushion a couple times and lost just enough spots to allow Forsberg the opportunity. When all was said and done, Forsberg brought home the $3,000 championship by just four points over Bloomfield, and 14-markers ahead of Shane Hopkins, who also gave it a valiant run all week long. Corbin Rueschenberg and Colby Copeland finished fourth and fifth respectively in the week-long race. Dunnigan's Luke Hayes began the evening by earning his first career Sierra Foothills Wine Services Fast Time Award, pacing the 28-car field with a lap of 11.029. The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour will now take an extended break, before resuming things on Saturday September 21st with the annual Adobe Cup at Petaluma Speedway. Placerville Speedway returns to action this coming Saturday July 27th with the annual Carnett Clash.

  Shane Golobic claims first career Tyler Wolf Memorial victory

  Chico, CA…Fremont's Shane Golobic has grabbed several special wins in his Sprint Car career and on Friday night the veteran added another, by scoring the $5,000 top prize at the Tyler Wolf Memorial in Chico. It was Golobic's second consecutive triumph during SCCT Western Speedweek and marked his 15th all-time victory with the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour. Special thanks to Demo Mitty of Mittry Construction, along with Gary Perkins and Keith Arellano for bumping up the winners share at the 11th running of the Tyler Wolf Memorial. The Silver Dollar Speedway showcased a terrific atmosphere during the penultimate round of Speedweek and the drivers certainly gave the fans on hand an intriguing feature. Paradise driver John Michael Bunch began the evening by setting a new SCCT track record, before winning the High Sierra Industries Dash. One of the biggest roars of the night came when Bunch decided to take the Tyler Wolf Challenge and forgo his pole position, in favor of heading back to start 19th and have a shot at making some extra cheddar. The 35-lap finale came to the line with Chico's Kenny Allen and Golobic sharing the front row. A big pileup occurred on the opening lap however, and Bunch was among the drivers that needed to head for the work area. Once things got going it was Allen who jumped into the lead impressively and fended off every challenge that Golobic threw his way. The former Silver Dollar Speedway Rookie of the Year hasn't raced much the last couple years and did a fantastic job out front leading some of the top names in California Sprint Car racing. Golobic was patient as always though and waited for the opportunity to pounce, which came on lap 16. With Allen getting a bit tight on the cushion Golobic dove below and grabbed the lead. After that he pulled away from the field but the action behind him was as hot as the weather outside. Dylan Bloomfield and Tanner Carrick were worth the price of admission on this night, battling back and forth for numerous laps. Bloomfield solidified the runner up spot on lap 29 and then began to reel in the leader. The 18-year-old from Oakley looked like a rocket ship as he came after Golobic and when the white flag waved, he was right there. Rounding the final set of corners it looked to be a classic finish, only to have the yellow lights flash on, bringing things to a halt. It set up a two-lap shootout that saw Golobic hit his marks to bring home the win ahead of Bloomfield, Carrick, Justin Sanders and Andy Forsberg. Finishing sixth through 10th were Chance Grasty, Shane Hopkins, Corbin Rueschenberg, Nick Parker and Allen. John Clarke earned the Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Award, while Bunch was able to finish 16th after taking the Tyler Wolf Challenge. Thanks to the graciousness of several people during the night, extra money was added to the hard charger and the 19th place finisher among others. A strong field of 42 cars competed with SCCT on Friday night. Bunch took home a total of $300 for setting the Sierra Foothills Wine Services Fast Time to begin the program. The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour finishes off Speedweek tonight at Placerville Speedway. Auburn's Andy Forsberg brings the point lead into the grand finale. He holds a seven-point advantage over a two way tie for second between Dylan Bloomfield and Shane Hopkins.

  Tony Gomes, Jacob Tuttle, Nick Baldwin and Mike Miller win on Kings Meats Night

  Placerville, CA…Modesto's Tony Gomes took the lead on lap two and held off a hard charging Andy Forsberg to claim his fifth career Placerville Speedway Winged Sprint Car victory on Saturday. Fellow winners on Kings Meats Burger Night included Jacob Tuttle with the Joe Hunt Magnetos Wingless Tour, Nick Baldwin with the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks and Mike Miller with the Mountain Democrat Mini Trucks. All four winners went home with a lucrative and loaded meat box thanks to presenting sponsor Kings Meats. At the waving of the green flag in the Thompson's Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Car finale it was a battle between Shane Hopkins and Tony Gomes up front. Hopkins led the initial lap, before Gomes took over as they completed lap two. The first 13 circuits clicked off caution free in fast and furious fashion, prior to a yellow for Chris Masters. On the restart nine-time track champion Andy Forsberg carved his way into the runner up spot and gave chase after the leader. On the initial green flag run Gomes worked lapped traffic to perfection and did so once again during the final half. A couple of close moments in traffic caused Gomes to have catlike reflexes, however. As the race wound down Forsberg cut into the lead and when the white flag waved, he was right there on the tail tank of the C&M Motorsports No. 7c. A hair raising moment then occurred for the leaders heading down the backstretch, as a lapped car shot across the groove directly in front of the top duo. Somehow, both Gomes and Forsberg were able to sneak by without worry, much to the amazement of the crowd on hand. Gomes crossed under the Ron Stahl checkered flag for his first win of the season over Forsberg, Hopkins, Chance Grasty and hard charger Jimmy Trulli. Rounding out the top-10 were Corbin Rueschenberg, Austin Wood, Bubba Decaires, Braden Chiaramonte and Stephen Ingraham. Andy Forsberg now finds himself up front in the standings by one slip point over Shane Hopkins and just five markers ahead of Bubba Decaires. The Joe Hunt Magnetos Wingless Sprint Cars made their initial appearance of the season on the red clay Saturday. In the end it was Oakley's Jacob Tuttle who brought home the victory after leading all 20-laps in the feature. The main event was plagued with several slow downs that didn't allow drivers to get into much of a constant flow. High Sierra Wingless winner last month Josh Young tried to keep pace with the leader and brought home a second-place finish, ahead of DJ Johnson, Shawn Arriaga and Evan Gularte in the top-five. Completing the top-10 were Trey Walters, Bob Newberry, Mark Hanson, Cody Meyer and Tyler Cato. Another healthy field of 29 Wingless Sprint Cars competed with the Hunt Tour on Saturday. The Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks put on one of the best races of the evening in their 20-lap finale. Several cars battled up front during the contest and kept fans on the edge of their seats for much of it. Tyler Lightfoot jumped out front and set the pace but had numerous drivers breathing down his neck. Five-time Placerville Speedway champion and current point leader Nick Baldwin then charged his way into the lead on lap 14 and never looked back. The Oakley driver crossed the stripe for his 29th career triumph at the track. Lightfoot scored another consistent finish in second, with Kevin Jinkerson, Tommy Sturgeon and Arnita Bradshaw completing the top-five. The 20-lap Mountain Democrat Mini Truck main event featured three different leaders, all with the last name Miller. The opening lap was led by Paige Miller, before Paizlee Miller was able to slip by for the top-spot on lap two. Paizlee looked to have the speed up front to bring home the win however, had an issue during a lap 13 restart, which saw Mike Miller shoot from third to first. At the checkered it was Mike Miller followed by Luke Costa, Paige Miller, Paizlee Miller and Tyler Goggin. Placerville Speedway returns to action this coming Saturday July 20th with the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour and Dwarf Cars. The evening of racing will finish off SCCT Western Sprint Speedweek, which begins Monday in Cottage Grove, Oregon.

  SCCT 360s primed to tackle Western Sprint Speedweek on July 15th-20th

  Cottage Grove, Oregon…For the first time in its history the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour readies for Western Sprint Speedweek this coming Monday through Saturday, showcasing six straight nights of racing at six different venues. Everything kicks off at Cottage Grove Speedway in Cottage Grove, Oregon this coming Monday July 15th. The popular quarter mile bullring launches the biggest week of racing yet for the SCCT 360s since debuting in 2017. Pit meeting on opening night will occur at 5pm, with cars on track at 5:45. Tuesday July 16th then brings the Sprint Car Challenge Tour to Coos Bay Speedway, followed by the Douglas County Dirt Track in Roseburg, Oregon on Wednesday July 17th. Speedweek continues south after that, heading back into California for a night of racing at Yreka Speedway on Thursday July 18th. A certain highlight of Speedweek takes place on Friday July 19th when SCCT invades Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico for the 11th annual Tyler Wolf Memorial. 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. SCCT Western Sprint Speedweek all comes to a climax at the El Dorado County Fairgrounds based Placerville Speedway on Saturday July 20th. The overall SCCT Speedweek champion will take home $3,000 as part of a $6,000 total point fund. The runner up nets $2,000, while third place will claim $1,000. With the $500 Shop Kyle Larson Bonus Award automatically added in during Speedweek, each main event will pay a minimum of $3,000-to-win. The 24-car feature also dishes out a minimum of $400-to-start every night. The most recent Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour event saw El Cajon youngster Braden Chiaramonte pick up a thrilling victory in Antioch on June 15th. By doing so, the 17-year-old sits atop the SCCT standings going into Speedweek. Hanford's Michael Faccinto, Auburn's Andy Forsberg, Aromas' Justin Sanders and Livermore's Travis Labat round out the top-five through the first six events of the season. Additional drivers looking to run the full SCCT Speedweek include Placerville's Shane Hopkins, Lincoln's Tanner Carrick, Oakley's Dylan Bloomfield, Oregon racer Tyler Thompson, Arizona driver Corbin Rueschenberg, Fresno's Mariah Ede, Roseville's Colby Copeland, Wilton's Ashlyn Rodriguez, Yuba City's Seth Standley, Windsor's John Clarke and others.

  Kings Meats Burger Night on Deck at Placerville Speedway Saturday

  Placerville, CA…Action returns to the El Dorado County Fairgrounds based quarter mile this Saturday, as Placerville Speedway showcases a loaded program on Burger Night presented by Kings Meats. This Saturday July 13th all Burgers will be ½ price at the Speedway Café! It also continues free parking in July thanks to the El Dorado County Fair Association. Russell Motorsports Inc. presents a four-division "Thunder in the Foothills" championship program that will include the Thompson's Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Cars, the Joe Hunt Magnetos Wingless Sprints, Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks and the Mountain Democrat Mini Trucks. An ultra close fight for the Thompson's Family of Dealerships Winged Sprint Car title is developing, with the top-three drivers separated by just 12-points. Elk Grove's Bubba Decaires leads the way, as he looks to join his father as a Placerville Speedway champion. His dad Greg Decaires IV captured the track title four times in his illustrious career, while "G5" sits 11-markers up on June 29th winner Shane Hopkins going into Kings Meats Burger Night. Nine-time Placerville champ Andy Forsberg is fresh off his third win of the season and heads into Saturday 12-digits back of Decaires. Modesto's Tony Gomes and rookie Austin Wood of Sacramento round out the top-five in the standings. The Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks also have a tremendous championship race taking place with Oakley's Nick Baldwin leading Diamond Springs' Kevin Jinkerson by five slim points. Both drivers have tallied three wins, along with top-five efforts each night. Jinkerson has finished second to Baldwin in the standings four years in a row and will be looking to change that as the season winds down. Placerville's Tyler Lightfoot, Orangevale's Tommy Sturgeon and Cameron Park's Jason Ramos complete the top-five in points. Multi-time Mountain Democrat Mini Truck champion Mike Miller of Placerville leads the way into Saturday. Miller has captured three of the four events held and goes into the night 24-marker up on Howard Miller of Minden, Nevada.

  Andy Forsberg, Michael Faccinto, Josef Ferolito and Nick Baldwin claim Placerville Speedway wins

  Placerville, CA…Auburn's Andy Forsberg snagged the lead on an early restart and dominated the remainder of the way to grab his 72nd career Placerville Speedway Winged Sprint Car triumph on Saturday night. Sharing victory lane on Red Hawk Casino Night were Michael Faccinto with the USAC/BCRA Midgets, Josef Ferolito with the BCRA Lightning Sprints and Nick Baldwin with the Pure Stocks. The 25-lap Thompson's Family of Dealerships Winged Sprint Car main event saw current point leader Bubba Decaires jump in front after battling Oregon driver Tyler Thompson on the opening circuit. The pilot of the Morrison Concrete No. 94 set the pace as racers battled for position behind him. Andy Forsberg climbed into second on lap seven however and took advantage of a restart to rocket past Decaires for the top spot. Once out front the nine-time track champion pulled away from the field with ease. Forsberg ran the cushion to perfection and went on to cross under the Ron Stahl checkered flag for his third win of the season at Placerville Speedway. Placerville's Shane Hopkins continued his stellar start to the campaign by finishing in the runner up spot, followed by Decaires, Sacramento's Austin Wood and Thompson. Rounding out the top-10 were Justin Peck, Michael Faccinto, Ashlyn Rodriguez, Izaak Sharp and Blaine Craft. The USAC Western States/ BCRA Midget feature came to the line with husband-and-wife duo of Michael and Danika Jo Faccinto sharing the front row. M. Faccinto moved out front at the waving of the green flag. Around lap five though all eyes were glued to current USAC point leader Cade Lewis, who ran the cushion like a veteran. Lewis charged by Faccinto to snag the lead on lap nine, with Arizona racer Drake Edwards following along for second a few circuits later. Edwards then attempted a super slider with four laps remaining but got sideways and resulted in Lewis climbing over him, ending in a nasty set of barrel rolls. Luckily, Lewis was okay but done for the night, as was Edwards. Michael Faccinto then inherited the lead and led the final four laps for the victory over Brandon Wiley, Dane Colver, Dalten Gabbard and Robby Flock. Modesto's Josef Ferolito brought home his second straight Placerville Speedway victory with the BCRA Wingless Lightning Sprints on Saturday. Dakota Albright ran second, followed by Matt Land, Hunter Kinney and Greg Dennett. The Red Hawk Casino Pure Stock feature saw Placerville's Tyler Lightfoot blast his way into the lead at the start. Lightfoot set the early pace but had five-time track champion Nick Baldwin coming like a house of fire. Baldwin made the move on lap seven and went to score his 28th career Placerville Speedway win. Lightfoot tallied a runner up finish at the checkered with Kevin Jinkerson, Tommy Sturgeon and Anthony Vigna completing the top-five. Placerville Speedway returns to action with Burger Night presented by Kings Meats on Saturday July 13th. All burgers will be half price during the evening.
