  JAMES McFADDEN WINS NARC TIMBER CUP THRILLER AT GRAYS HARBOR

  (6/15/25 - Andrew Kunas) Elma, WA ... It was not easy for James McFadden, but he somehow found victory lane again as he made a spectacular last lap pass around Trey Starks to snag the NARC Timber Cup victory at Grays Harbor Raceway in Sunday's Fastest Five Days in Motorsports 25-lap finale, giving him an astounding four wins in five nights. McFadden, from the pole position, took the lead on the initial start over fellow front row starter Jesse Schlotfeldt and led the first nine laps uncontested before the fifth starting Starks, a former Timber Cup winner, first challenged him for the lead. Lap 10 saw Starks throw a slider in Turns 3 and 4 and get in front of McFadden, only for McFadden to turn it back down a get a run off the hill to get back by to maintain the lead. Starks challenged again on the following lap but could not get by McFadden. Following a fuel stop with 11 laps completed, Starks saw an opening and pounced on the restart, making another move on the east end of the race track, throwing it in and squeezing between McFadden and the infield entering Turn 3, and this time made the move stick to lead Lap 12. Starks then pulled away for a time and led the next several laps as McFadden briefly had to fend off last year's Timber Cup winner Dominic Scelzi. While McFadden held off Scelzi, Starks then started to struggle getting a slower car in traffic, and in the final lap lost momentum exiting Turn 2. McFadden meanwhile got a big run around the top of the racetrack and got one last shot at Starks. With his own momentum, McFadden threw a big slide job going into Turn 3 and made it stick, getting in front of Starks. Starks tried to turn it back down the hill and get a run off of Turn 4 but couldn't get enough speed to get McFadden back at the checkered flag. "Trey obviously is one of the best around here. He proved that when High Limit came here last year. And this was our first time (as a team) on a real, real slick track, so to be close to him was read good. My guys really didn't know where to tell me to go on that red (during the fuel stop)," McFadden said. "I was hoping those lappers would kinda slow the pace down enough, and that's what happened." The thrilling victory capped off an incredible week for McFadden aboard the American Rock & Rent-sponsored Tarlton Motorsports No. 21 Kistler-powered Maxim. McFadden won the first two Fastest Five Days races at Southern Oregon Speedway and Douglas County Dirt Track, took a sixth-place finish at Cottage Grove Speedway on Friday, and then picked up Saturday's feature at Willamette Speedway before Sunday's thriller at Grays Harbor. The four wins resulted in McFadden being crowned the champion of the Fastest Five Days in Motorsports. "It's been a real fun week. I can't thank Tom and Tommy Tarlton and their whole family enough," McFadden continued. "It's been so much fun." While disappointed with losing the win at the end, Starks still finished second aboard the Starks Racing No. 55 Fisher-powered J&J in his first appearance with NARC this season. Scelzi finished third aboard the Red Rose Transportation-sponsored Gary Scelzi Motorsports No. 41 Kistler-powered Maxim, getting his fourth podium finish of the week. Coming from 10th, Scelzi earned the Williams Roofing Hard Charger nod, moving up seven positions. Tyler Thompson made a late pass to finish fourth aboard the HAM Construction-sponsored Main Motorsports No. 35km Kistler-powered Maxim, turning in one of his best finishes of the season. Jesse Schlotfeldt, two nights after scoring his first NARC win, finished fifth aboard the Grinder's Automotive & Marine-sponsored JRS Motorsports No. 21s Shark-powered Triple X. D.J. Netto, Tanner Holmes, Sean Becker, Justin Sanders, and Caeden Steele rounded out the Top 10. Heat races earlier in the evening were won by McFadden, Schlotfeldt and Sanders. McFadden won the Beacon Wealth Strategies - Raymond James Trophy Dash to secure the pole position for the feature. Trey Starks paced the 22-car field in Automotive Racing Products Qualifying with a time of 12.877 seconds around the 3/8-mile, high-banked clay oval.

  McFADDEN IS RED HOT; PICKS OFF ANOTHER NARC VICTORY AT WILLAMETTE

  (6/14/25 - Andrew Kunas) Lebanon, OR ... James McFadden continued his dominance of the Fastest Five Days in Motorsports on Saturday night when he captured his third NARC 410 sprint car main event in four days at Willamette Speedway. Starting alongside pole-sitter Robbie Price, the Australian star took the lead on the start and immediately rocketed off to large advantage, and in just four laps was in heavy traffic during a 25-lap feature that was caution free. At times, McFadden would easily slice and dice his way by slower cars while Dominic Scelzi, who had worked his way by Price for second, tried to work his way up. At times though, traffic got difficult to navigate for McFadden, and on Lap 16, Scelzi suddenly had a chance to pounce. McFadden slid up high coming through Turns 1 and 2 passing cars and losing speed, and Scelzi briefly scooted by on the bottom. McFadden turned his car back down the hill, almost contacting Scelzi but getting a run back inside him and retaking the lead down the back stretch. After the close call with Scelzi, McFadden found another gear it seemed like and drove away in the closing laps, taking the win aboard the American Rock & Rent-sponsored Tarlton Motorsports No. 21 Kistler-powered Maxim. Like he did Wednesday at Southern Oregon Speedway and Thursday at Douglas County Dirt Track, McFadden celebrated in front of the fans with his patented "Shoey," a drink of beer from a shoe atop his car. "Honestly, that was the hardest race I've ever raced through with lapped traffic. They had no idea where they were going, I had no idea where they were going, and that made me had no idea where I was going," McFadden jokingly said about battling the traffic in a race that lasted only six and a half minutes. "It was like swatting flies out there in Australia for a while. It's really hard to control a race like that. You have to push hard, but if you push too hard you can run in the back of guys and I almost did that a couple of times. Dominic showed a nose, so I had to step a gear up." McFadden also praised the track conditions after an extensive rework of the clay oval after heat races. "That track turned out really cool, turned out really fun. Thanks to all the fans for sticking around while they (worked) to get us a really good track." McFadden again praised his crew, including Tom and Tommy Tarlton. McFadden had never driven the Tarlton Motorsports car before Wednesday. Three wins and a sixth have their finishes in four races this week. Scelzi finished second aboard the Red Rose Transportation-sponsored Scelzi Enterprises No. 41 Kistler-powered Maxim. It was Scelzi's third podium finish of the week, and he has finished in the Top 5 in all four races so far in the Fastest Five Days in Motorsports. After losing the runner-up spot to Scelzi early in the race, Robbie Price ran third for the rest of the race and finished there aboard the Malahat Auto Recycling-sponsored Rob & Lee Leighton No. 21p Shark-powered Maxim, this coming a year after Price won his first NARC race at Willamette. Max Mittry had one of his best finishes of the season, taking forth aboard the Shasta Realty Group-sponsored Mittry Motorsports No. 2xm Shark-powered KPC. Bud Kaeding turned in a fifth-place finish aboard the Alviso Rock-sponsored BK Motorsports No. 29 Shaver-powered Maxim. Justin Sanders, who had podium finishes each of the first three nights in Oregon, finished sixth. Tyler Thompson, Tanner Holmes, Joel Meyers Jr and Caeden Steele rounded out the Top 10. Heat races earlier in the evening were won by Scelzi, Sanders and Thompson. Price won the Beacon Wealth Strategies - Raymond James Trophy Dash to secure the pole position for the main event. McFadden paced the 24-car field in Automotive Racing Products Qualifying with a time of 11.907 seconds around the 1/3-mile clay oval. Hoosier Racing Tires Feature (25 laps): 1. 21 James McFadden (2), 2. 41 Dominic Scelzi (3), 3. 21p Robbie Price (1), 4. 2xm Max Mittry (4), 5. 29 Bud Kaeding (7), 6. 2x Justin Sanders (5), 7. 35km Tyler Thompson (6), 8. 18t Tanner Holmes (9), 9.

  McFADDEN IS RED HOT; PICKS OFF ANOTHER NARC VICTORY AT WILLAMETTE

  NARC SPRINT CARS INVADE THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST FOR THE FASTEST FIVE DAYS IN MOTORSPORTS

  (June 6, 2025 - Andrew Kunas) Auburn, CA ... One of the best weeks of the year for West Coast sprint car fans is here, as the NARC 410 sprint car series invades the Pacific Northwest for the annual Fastest Five Days in Motorsports, part of the "Road to the Dirt Cup." Five consecutive nights of action at as many tracks across two states are on tap, gradually moving north up the I-5 corridor. For most of the tracks, it will represent their only 410 sprint car races of the season. All of this is ahead of the $100,026-to-win Jim Raper Memorial Super Dirt Cup at Skagit Speedway on June 19th, 20th and 21st. It all begins Wednesday, June 11th at Southern Oregon Speedway outside of Medford. The next night sees the series visit the Douglas County Dirt Track in Roseburg, followed by a visit to Cottage Grove Speedway, a short drive from Eugene. The final Oregon stop on Saturday, June 14th is Willamette Speedway in Lebanon, near Salem. The final day, Sunday the 15th, sees the NARC sprint cars cross the Columbia River into Washington and head to Elma for the annual Father's Day Timber Cup at Grays Harbor Raceway. Drivers from up and down the West Coast have committed to running all or at least part of the Fastest Five Days in Motorsports. And many fans will be traveling with them for the ultimate sprint car "road trip." Dominic Scelzi, the two-time NARC champion from Fresno and one of the most popular with Northwest race fans, is among those expecting to compete the entire week, and hoping for some good luck to come his way after some recent difficulties. Scelzi won last year's Timber Cup at Grays Harbor Raceway, one of his 23 career NARC triumphs, and hopes for more of that in this year's Fastest Five Days aboard the Gary Scelzi Motorsports No. 41. Reigning NARC champion Justin Sanders of Aromas has had the very meaning of an "up and down" season but has two NARC victories this season and is a still a threat to win on any given night. The 2024 "King of the West" is coming off a recent Top 5 finish at the Dave Bradway Jr Memorial and wants to stay on the "up" side of things aboard the Mittry Motorsports No. 2x during the Fastest Five Days. Dominic Gorden of Clovis is riding high with momentum himself aboard the Fortitude Driver Development No. 10, coming off a lucrative victory at the Dave Bradway Jr Memorial. The winner of two NARC events in his short sprint car career, the young driver is hoping that momentum from the Bradway continues, and he adds to his win total during the Fastest Five Days. One big name arriving in the U.S. this week is Australian superstar James McFadden, who will be piloting the Tarlton Motorsports No. 21 entry for the Fastest Five Days and the Dirt Cup at Skagit. McFadden, the winner of 12 World of Outlaws and three High Limit Racing events, was also the winner in January of the Grand Annual Sprintcar Classic, Australia's largest sprint car race. Having previously won a NARC event; McFadden is anticipated to immediately compete with the Tarlton team. This team has already experienced success this season with Tanner Holmes as the driver, including securing a NARC victory at Thunderbowl Raceway in May. Many more drivers from California will be making the trip to the Northwest, including former NARC Rookie of the Year Caeden Steele, who recently won his first NARC feature, and 2025 rookie candidate Mariah Ede, both from the Fresno area, along with former NARC champions DJ Netto of Hanford, Bud Kaeding of Campbell, and Sean Becker of Oroville. Benicia's Billy Aton, winner of one NARC feature in his career, is expected also along with a number of drivers who are strong candidates for their first NARC wins, including Lemoore's Gauge Garcia, Rio Oso's Landon Brooks and Tucson's Nick Parker. Angelique Bell from Sacramento, Redding's Max Mittry, John Clark of Windsor, and Laton's Geoffrey Strole are all also expected to join. NORTHWEST DRIVERS DEFENDING THEIR TURF Speaking of Tanner Holmes, the young driver from Jacksonville, Oregon has been looking forward to this stretch of races in his home state and region. After racing for the Tarlton team, Holmes will jump into his family's No. 18T for this week's races and looks to perform well in front of friends and family. Southern Oregon Speedway will always be a special place to Holmes as last year's Fastest Five Days opener saw Holmes win his first NARC race. Holmes has won sprint car features at all four of the Oregon tracks NARC is visiting, including already this season at Cottage Grove, and hopes that it translates to more NARC success. Tyler Thompson, piloting the Main Motorsports No. 35km, is also racing on home soil this week. The Harrisburg, Oregon driver is a former track champion at Cottage Grove Speedway. Chasing NARC Rookie of the Year honors and sitting third in point standings, Thompson is hoping his familiarity with the Oregon tracks can be a spark, as he is one of the drivers pursuing his first NARC feature victory. It would also surprise absolutely none of the Oregon sprint car fans if Tyler Thompson and Tanner Holmes wound up racing each other with a victory on the line at any of the four races in the Beaver State. Whether it's in their family cars or racing for others, Thompson and Holmes have always seemed to find themselves racing around each other, going back to their younger days racing limited sprint cars. It's continued in the 410 ranks as the young men have found themselves racing each other for position multiple times in NARC competition this year. Drivers from Washington state and British Columbia are expected to venture down for all or part of the Fastest Five Days in Motorsports. One will be Cobble Hill, B.C.'s Robbie Price, a former Dirt Cup winner who won his first NARC race at last year's Willamette Speedway event. Jesse Schlotfeldt of Arlington, Washington will be a driver from the Evergreen State to watch. Schlotfeldt is a 410 winner at Skagit this season and also has wins this spring at both Douglas County Dirt Track and Grays Harbor Raceway in non-NARC competition to his credit. Schlotfeldt had indicated his plan to run the entire week and hopes to be a first-time NARC winner sometime during the week. Levi Klatt from British Columbia, a former Skagit Speedway track champion, has said he will run at least the first three races in Oregon, and depending on how things go sticking around for the last two races are a possibility for him. Medford, Oregon's Camden Robustelli, a standout from dwarf cars who has been finding success in limited and 360 sprint cars, has gotten his feet wet in 410 sprint cars and plans to get seat time against the stars of NARC. Robustelli indicated his plans to run at least four Oregon races, but if things go well, he may continue north to Elma for the Timber Cup and to Skagit for Dirt Cup. Medford's Blaine Cory, who made his NARC debut at April's Mini-Gold Cup, is expected to get more seat time against the best of NARC and run the entire week. Puyallup, Washington's Trey Starks, twice a NARC winner in the past and a High Limit Racing winner last year, is anticipated to appear at a couple of races towards the end of the week. Starks is a former NARC winner at Grays Harbor Raceway and already has numerous Skagit Speedway wins this season. While regularly racing Skagit Speedway, Starks is usually a contender wherever he goes and same goes for when he shows up at a NARC race.

  NARC SPRINT CARS HEAD TO CHICO ON SATURDAY FOR THE DAVID TARTER MEMORIAL

  (6/2/25 - Andrew Kunas) Chico, CA ... A busy stretch for the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series continues this Saturday with the 12th running of the David Tarter Memorial at Silver Dollar Speedway. Saturday's show, NARC's second and final visit to the Chico ¼-mile this season, honors the memory of Tarter, who died at the age of 30 in 2012 when a freak accident in the pit area took his life. The first David Tarter Memorial was run in 2013, won by Oroville's Sean Becker, and the event has since become a staple at Silver Dollar Speedway, where Tarter was a regular participant and former track rookie of the year. Saturday's 35-lap main event will pay $5,035 to win. Reigning NARC champion Justin Sanders of Aromas won last year's David Tarter Memorial on his way to the title and is expected to be one of the favorites as he was also a winner of the thrilling Mini-Gold Cup in April aboard the Mittry Motorsports No. 2x. Dominic Gorden of Clovis is coming off a big win in last Saturday's Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial at Placerville Speedway. Gorden finished 16th in April's Mini-Gold Cup, but Gorden and the Fortitude Driver Development No. 10 team is hoping his second NARC victory serves as a springboard and creates momentum for the young driver going forward. Of the 11 prior times the David Tarter Memorial has been run, former NARC champion Kyle Hirst has the most victories in the event with five checkered flags. Sanders is the only other multi-time winner of the race. WHO TO WATCH Tanner Holmes and the Tarlton Motorsports No. 21T team have seen success together this season, including one NARC victory at the Morrie Williams Memorial, but Saturday's event will be their last together for a time as Holmes will shortly return to his family's no. 18T. At that point, Australian star James McFadden will jump into the Tarlton car for the next several weeks starting with next week's Fastest Five Days in Motorsports. Holmes nearly won the Mini-Gold Cup in a thrilling finish, narrowly losing out to Sanders. Returning to Chico this weekend, the Holmes and Tarlton team are hoping to improve by one spot to close out their first run together. Shane Golobic is another driver who has had success at Silver Dollar Speedway over the years. The Fremont driver has finished in the Top 10 in each regular NARC feature this season and that includes three podium finishes. Coming off a runner-up finish in the Dave Bradway Jr Memorial, Golobic is a driver due for another NARC victory. Other drivers expected to compete this weekend include former series champion DJ Netto from Hanford, Oregon's Tyler Thompson, Fresno drivers Dominic Scelzi and Mariah Ede, Templeton's Kaleb Montgomery, Oroville's Sean Becker, Campbell's Bud Kaeding, Lemoore's Gauge Garcia, Easton's Caeden Steele, Benicia's Billy Aton, Lincoln's Tanner Carrick and many more. FAN INFO Silver Dollar Speedway is located at the Silver Dollar Fair on 2343 Fair St in Chico. BCRA Lightning sprints will be racing also. Tickets are $30 for adults, while seniors 65+ and juniors 13-17 are in for $25. Kids 12 and under are in for free. Silver Dollar Speedway will also be racing sprint cars on Friday night, giving fans two nights of racing action this weekend.

  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.

  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.
