Willamette Speedway Dirt Track News
- A HUGE $62,000 WINNERS CHECK ON THE LINE AT THE JIM RAPER MEMORIAL SUPER DIRT CUP
Alger, Washington- The time is near as the 900+ horsepower pilots of the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series gear up to take on their biggest paying weekend of the 2024 season at Skagit Speedway for three nights of action at the Jim Raper Memorial Super Dirt Cup. It kicks off on Thursday, June 20th, and wraps up on Saturday, June 22nd, as the Skagit Valley will roar with nonstop thrills and heart-stopping clay-shredding action on the historic 3/10-mile clay oval. "Skagit seems to suit my style, and I like the racetrack, so I'm looking forward to getting back," commented the defending champion of the race Justin Sanders. "To win the Dirt Cup, it's all about putting yourself in the right position in the prelim night and qualifying good and passing a lot of cars, you to be 110% every time you hit the racetrack. We'll be looking to do that and make it two in a row." Car counts are expected to be in the 45-plus range as teams from all over the Western United States and Canada converge on the Alger 3/10-mile clay oval. Thursday and Friday are reserved for preliminary nights to help determine who gets locked into the big dance on Saturday. The Northwest Focus Midget Series will be the companion division for the entire weekend. On Wednesday morning (6/19), there will be a Super Dirt Cup Scramble Golf Tournament at Avalon Links Golf Club in Burlington, benefiting the NARC Benevolent Fund and Rayce Rudeen Foundation. Later that night, Railroad Pub and Pizza will host a pre-race party from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Saturday morning (6/22), there will be a Fan Fest at the track featuring cars, a live band, food, and more from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM. The Format The two preliminary nights will emphasize lineup inversions, and accumulated points will establish the final Saturday night lineups. Thursday will be a 30-lap feature, while Friday is a 35-lap contest. On Thursday and Friday, points will be immediately earned in qualifying. The Fast Qualifier will earn 200 points with a two-point drop for each subsequent position. The heat races will be lined up with an eight-car inversion. The heat races will award 100 points to the winner, with a three-point drop for each subsequent position. The Top 20 in points after qualifying and heat races will be locked into the prelim features. Those outside the Top 20 will be positioned in the C-main and B-main, with the C sending the Top 4 finishers to the B and the B sending its Top 4 finishers to the feature. The Thursday feature will invert the Top 16 in points while Friday will be the Top 18. The feature winner will earn 200 points with a two-point drop for each subsequent position. The first criteria tiebreaker is the best finish in the respective main event, the second is rank in qualifying, and the third is the time of the second qualifying lap. Other tiebreaker criteria may be implemented if needed. A perfect score on a preliminary night is 500 points! The Top 18 in overall accumulated points from Thursday and Friday will be locked into Saturday's feature. The Top four of those 18 are locked into the Pole Shuffle, while four more drivers will get in the race by winning a qualifying heat. The finish of the Pole Shuffle will set the first four rows of Saturday's feature. The B-main will line up straight up on points and transfer the Top 4 finishers to the feature. Two cars will be added to the finale via a fan's and promoter's choices, totaling 26 cars. Money, Money, And More Money On top of paying a whopping $62,000 to win, drivers will have plenty of other ways to earn stout paydays. The runner-up will collect $26,000, while the third and fourth get paid $18,000 and $11,000, respectively. Fifth place pays $6,000, and simply making Saturday's main event will be worth $3,000. Courtesy of generous supporters, each lap in Saturday's 40-lap main event will award an extra $1,000, paid out $500-$300-$200 to the top three cars on every lap. Winning a prelim night will be no small payday, as Thursday and Friday pay $5,000 to win. Who To Watch Not only does Sanders return as the reigning Dirt Cup champion, but the Aromas ace has also been one of the toughest to beat on the NARC 410 Sprint Series roster. Dialing in a new chassis with their engine package has paid big dividends, as he has been lights out fast at many shows this year. Zeb Wise is undoubtedly hoping to park the famed Rudeen Racing #26 in victory lane on the last night of action. The Angola, Indiana native threatened eventual winner Sanders during the grand finale. It would no doubt be a massive win for the young man's career. Trey Starks is undoubtedly one of the local favorites for Dirt Cup yet again. Hailing from Puyallup, Washington, the two-time defending 410 champion has managed to win three out of five features at Skagit and has yet to finish outside the Top 5 at the facility this year. Last year's polesitter, Dominic Scelzi, is hungry to add a 410 Dirt Cup to his resume. The Fresno racer and two-time NARC champion has a lot of laps at Skagit, including some this year when he made a rare cameo on June 8th during a local 410 show. Fresno's Corey Day will look to finish what he started last year, winning the Dirt Cup for the Jason Meyers Racing team. The 2023 NARC champion, who also races full-time with the High Limit Series, won both prelim nights and almost pulled off the rare feat of sweeping the entire three-weekend weekend. The last driver to win all three nights of the Dirt Cup was Brent Kaeding in 1996. Jason Solwold is another top choice. The Burlington, Washington veteran has a lot of experience at Skagit and will hope to finally get a 410 Dirt Cup trophy to rack for himself and Shaylen Raye Motorsports car owner Mike Anderson. Cole Macedo's 2024 season has been impressive. Not only did he win the first two rounds of the NARC 410 Sprint Series, but the Lemoore, California pilot has also spent a lot of time in the Midwest with the High Limit Series and the World of Outlaws. He claimed the Fastest Five Days in Motorsports title last week. Leduc, Alberta driver Skylar Gee will be back home at a place where he and his father, Tim, have spent a lot of time. Spending the last few years living in the Midwest, Gee was very impressive last season at Attica Raceway Park and Fremont Speedway in Northwest Ohio. Robbie Price is another notable to be on the lookout for. The Cobble Hill, British Columbia native, racing for Rob and Lee Leighton, has had some great runs at Skagit in 2024 and is second in the 410 points. He captured his first ever NARC-sanctioned feature at Willamette Speedway on Saturday. Tanner Holmes will be among the young drivers to watch for the weekend. Making the journey from Jacksonville, Oregon, Holmes was the runner-up in the Friday prelim and never finished outside of the top five finishes all three nights. Colby Thornhill is a name on the rise regarding 410 racing in the Pacific Northwest. The Enumclaw, Washington teenager scored an incredible win at Skagit this season and is third in the 410 points table. Other California NARC regulars expected to be on hand are Campbell's Bud Kaeding, Fremont driver Shane Golobic, Justyn Cox from Roseville, Lincoln's Tanner Carrick, Chase Johnson of Penngrove, Billy Aton representing Benicia, Oakley Teenager Dylan Bloomfield, and Tucson, Arizona transplant Nick Parker. A collection of NARC rookie drivers are also in the mix including Fresno's Caeden Steele, Lemoore's Gauge Garcia, and Dominic Gorden from Clovis. Other Pacific Northwest drivers to be on the lookout for will be Mill Creek's Cam Smith, Burlington natives Justin Youngquist and Greg Hamilton, Jesse Schlotfeldt of Arlington, and Whannock, British Columbia's Luke Didiuk. Harrisburg's Tyler Thompson and Kinzer Cox of Creswell will also represent Oregon. Australia will be represented in the field with Jessie Attard of Penrith, New South Wales.

- ROBBIE PRICE RIPS IT UP AT WILLAMETTE FOR FIRST CAREER NARC WIN
(6/15/24 - Ben Deatherage) Lebanon, Oregon ... British Columbia's Robbie Price dominated the 30-lap NARC 410 Sprint Car feature at Willamette Speedway to score the $5,000 payday and etch his name in tour history as the newest winner on the all-time win list. He is the fourth different winner in as many nights with the ultra-competitive Fastest Five Days in Motorsports. "Man, I wanted to win so bad!" an overjoyed Price said in victory lane. "It's been a tough week, but I just got a great group of guys, and I tortured that thing on the last lap." Price shot out to the lead once the race on the initial green and rapidly negotiated the one-third-mile clay oval. Driving the Rob and Lee Leighton-fielded Saratoga Motorsports Park #21P Maxim, the leader had to deal with traffic in only six laps. Each time the frontrunners entered traffic; Price made the right moves. He also nailed a pair of restarts around the midway point of the headliner. Justin Sanders shadowed the leader and attempted several charges to try and find a way around Price, but to no avail. Price secured the win by a 0.479 second margin. "I knew (Sanders) was going to be there, I could see his guy signaling him, and I tried not to overthink it and just ran my race. It got tight in lapped traffic, but I was going to do my thing and hope for the best, and if I saw him, I was going to search around a little bit. Thankfully, I didn't see him," continued Price. The Mittry Motorsports-owned Farmers Brewing Company #2X KPC piloted by Sanders was second. Australian Jessie Attard successfully and methodically picked off cars in his Supreme Poultry #53 XXX to record his first career NARC podium. He started tenth, which earned him the Williams Roofing Hardcharger award. NARC point leader Cole Macedo posted a fourth-place result for Tarlton Motorsports in the Tarlton & Son #21 Maxim. Tyler Thompson earned his second career NARC Top 5 finish by hitting the line fifth in the J&K Auto Repair #7 X-1. Justyn Cox, rookie Dominic Gorden, Chase Johnson, Bud Kaeding, and Dominic Scelzi rounded out the top ten. Dylan Bloomfield set fast time in ARP Qualifying but had his night end when he flipped on the first lap of the feature. He walked away under his own power. The Heat winners were Sanders, Thompson, and Price. John Clark, Kinzer Cox, were all involved in red-flag incidents but were unharmed.

- FASTEST FIVE DAYS IN MOTORSPORTS AWAITS NARC 410 SPRINT CARS IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST
(6/6/24 - Ben Deatherage) ... The wait is almost over as the 900+ horsepower open wheel racing machines of the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series journey north for the Fastest Five Days in Motorsports! During a quick 120-hour span, the series will feature five races at five different racetracks across Oregon and Washington in five nights. For many of the tracks, it is their only 410 cubic inch sprint car race of the year. The racing extravaganza will kick off on Wednesday, June 12th, at Southern Oregon Speedway before moving northward to the Douglas County Dirt Track in Roseburg on Thursday, the 13th. Friday, the 14th will see the newly added Cottage Grove Speedway as a part of the mix and will be the first 410 race at the historic ¼-mile clay oval since 2014. Willamette Speedway is back with their Saturday date on the 15th. All roads will come to a head at Elma, Washington's Grays Harbor Raceway, on Sunday, the 16th, for a Father's Day fireworks-spectacular special, the Timber Cup. "I think that the Oregon/Washington Speedweek is an awesome trip!" said current NARC standings leader Cole Macedo from Lemoore. "I know I had a lot of fun last year, and I'm super excited to run those tracks because they can get super slick and have some character." With six races down in the 65th anniversary season, there have been super exciting events coming down to the last few laps, and there's no doubt that this trend will continue. The Fastest Five Days in Motorsports started in 2019 as the Fastest Four Days in Motorsports in California. However, that all changed in 2022 when it was redirected to the Pacific Northwest. The 2023 edition was an uninterrupted string of events that led up to the Jim Raper Memorial Super Dirt Cup at Skagit Speedway. Support classes for the first four nights will be the Northwest Focus Midget Series. Saturday night, the Iron Head Sprint Series will join the card. Sunday's bout will feature IMCA Modifieds and PHRA Dwarf Cars. Each night will pay a stout $5000 to win and $600 to start the A-main. Another perk up for grabs is a $5000 point fund for the top eight teams in the Fastest Five Days in Motorsports points, courtesy of Roth Motorsports and Winters Performance. The overall champion will also receive a commemorative collectable trophy at the year-end championship awards banquet. Some extra money will be on the line Thursday night at the Douglas County Dirtrack. Shane DeWald Trucking is offering a $500 bonus for the fast timer, and Topp It Express will kick in another $500 in cash for the evening's hard charger. Championship Chase With five straight nights of action on tap, the King of the West championship title could very well be determined during the Fastest Five Days in Motorsports. Last year, eventual NARC champion Corey Day created a massive buffer over the rest of the competition that helped him lock up the title. Lemoore's Cole Macedo has stayed up in the first position in the championship standings for the entire 2024 campaign. Still, the Tarlton Motorsports #21 car enters the week with a slim two-point advantage. Even though last year was Macedo's first foray into several Pacific Northwest tracks, he managed to win the Willamette leg of the journey. He broke up Day's ability to sweep all four nights. So far, this team has had two NARC wins this season. "With the amount of racing that I've been running this year and seeing all these different tracks, I think I'll be in good shape," Macedo continued. "Drew Warner (crew chief) and the boys have been working hard, and I'm almost fully recovered from my rib injury early in the season, so our team is ready." As the 2024 season continues, Justin Sanders keeps getting faster and faster. The Mittry Motorsports #2X team has been excellent this year. They were outside the top five in points a few weeks ago. Now, they sit a close second after scoring a season-leading three victories. The Aromas pilot accomplished those three wins in the last four rounds, including the most recent event at Placerville. 2017 NARC champion Bud Kaeding goes into the FFDM with some of the most experience at many of the tracks including Southern Oregon, Cottage Grove, and Willamette Speedways. 2024 has treated the Campbell veteran well. The team has had a lot of consistent speed. They are fourth in the title fight and trail Macedo by thirty-one points. They managed to post a pair of top five runs, including a fourth at Antioch in May. Fifth in series points, Dylan Bloomfield, had an impressive run last year in his Northwest debut. The Oakley teenager, racing for the Vertullo Racing #83V, had some solid runs, including a fourth-place finish at Southern Oregon after setting a quick time. His best NARC run of the current season was a third at Antioch. Who To Watch In 2022, Dominic Scelzi emerged as the champion of what was then called the Faster Four Days in Motorsports. Coming off a third-place result at the Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial, the Fresno driver has only one NARC triumph at the five tracks on the five-night swing. That came at Southern Oregon Speedway two years ago. In 2021 and 2022, he won the FFDM and NARC series championships. Justyn Cox will be among the plethora of drivers to watch when he and the Bates-Hamilton Racing #42X entry migrate north. The Roseville racer has spent much of his career racing and winning in the Pacific Northwest. He will be looking to score his second career NARC win during this string of events. Chase Johnson competed in Oregon and Washington last year for Josh Ford Motorsports, but this year, he will be using his own equipment. Not long after the 2023 Northwest swing, the Penngrove pilot returned to his winning ways after an incredibly emotional victory at his home track Petaluma Speedway. He's already notched a pair of Top 5s in 2024 with NARC, including a runner-up result at Chico's Mini Gold Cup. Reigning NARC rookie Nick Parker is ready for another run in the Pacific Northwest. The Vail, Arizona native, now residing in Chico, spent a lot of time adapting to many new facilities. Still, Parker is a quick learner, and once he's run somewhere, it takes little time for him to be really fast there. Billy Aton is no stranger to Oregon and Washington over the years. Making the haul from Benecia, Aton has shown promise in the current campaign and was a few laps away from winning the Salute to LeRoy Van Conett last month in Stockton. In 2023, Jarrett Soares went to Oregon for the first time to run some local winged and non-winged shows. The Gilroy gasser will be looking to capitalize on that knowledge. Tanner Carrick has been a phenomenal addition to the NARC 410 Sprint Series, putting up several top five finishes. This swing will be an extensive learning experience as the venues will be places the Lincoln native has had little to no exposure. Jessie Attard is excited to be back stateside to take on the best drivers on the west coast. The Landilo, New South Welshman, will represent his home nation of Australia. Last year, he had an impressive tenth-place result at Southern Oregon. Other drivers scheduled to make the trip are Ashton Torgerson from Glendale, Arizona, Sacramento's Angelique Bell, and more! Rookie Race The NARC Rookie of the Year race is also a tight-knit battle between some promising young stars. Caeden Steele has been impressive during the current NARC campaign, posting a pair of podium finishes. The only track of the five which he has seen live is Grays Harbor Raceway, where he made one start last July. The Easton teenager enters the FFDM with a four-marker advantage over the current runner-up. From Lemoore, Gauge Garcia has gotten into a good groove in the last few events with the NARC 410 Sprint Series. Bouncing back from a hard crash at Antioch in May, the Keller Motorsport team had a phenomenal run at the Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial on June 1st, leading many laps and posting a second-place finish. Not to be forgotten is Dominic Gorden of Clovis. What's unique about this young man is that even though he's never raced at 410 at any of the upcoming tracks, he did a lot of racing at Elma, Cottage Grove, Roseburg, and Southern Oregon last July and August. There's no doubt some of the successes that he's had at those venues will translate over to the 410 as he enters the week third in the rookie race. Northwest Home Stand Jacksonville, Oregon's Tanner Holmes is excited to defend his home turf. After spending the late winter and early spring chasing the High Limit and World of Outlaws groups, the YouTube sensation returned west to compete with NARC during the last few weeks. Finishing second at Skagit Speedway on June 1st, Holmes managed to win at four tracks on the FFDM schedule in local competition and was third at last year's Timber Cup. Many regard Puyallup, Washington's Trey Starks as the Pacific Northwest man to beat. Second at last year's Timber Cup and the winner of the 2022 edition, Starks is phenomenal in the Northwest and is the two-time defending champion Skagit Speedway 410 champion. In fact, he's already hit pay dirt three times at the 3/10-mile clay oval that will host the Jim Raper Memorial Super Dirt Cup. Canadian Robbie Price is expected to make the entire swing racing for Rob and Lee Leighton. Currently second in Skagit Speedway points, the Cobble Hill, British Columbia driver spent all of 2023 competing full-time with the World of Outlaws racing for Sides Motorsports and has spent lots of time running at places such as Grays Harbor and Cottage Grove. Tyler Thompson is not to be discounted in his native Oregon. Thompson has traveled throughout Oregon, California, and Montana already this year and will look to defend his home track, Cottage Grove Speedway, where he's the three-time defending track champion. The Harrisburg racer has posted wins at Elma and Grove in local competitions while has come close to being triumphant at Rosburg and Willamette.

- PLACERVILLE SPEEDWAY AWAITS RETURN OF NARC SPRINT CARS FOR DAVE BRADWAY JR. MEMORIAL
(5/27/24 - Ben Deatherage) Placerville, CA ... The thunderous roar of the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series will once again fill the air at Placerville Speedway on Saturday, June 1st for the 33rd Annual Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial race. This marks the only appearance of the season of the NARC sprint cars at the high-banked quarter-mile oval as they battle it out for the $5,500 to win prize. With five races in the books already for the series' 65th anniversary season, there has been some incredible action, a tight points race, and an incredibly tough contingent of drivers populating the pit area. The Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial not only features a lucrative payday but also pays tribute to an incredible driver, Dave Bradway Jr. who tragically passed away in a racing accident in June of 1987 at Skagit Speedway. The event, initially held at Silver Dollar Speedway from its inception in 1991 until it was relocated to Placerville in 2021. Among the "locals" who experienced a great finish in the 2023 Bradway race was Hanford driver Michael Faccinto, who drives the Friends and Family #X1 sprint car. "Last year was their second 410 race ever, and to be able to put a good night together with NARC that night was pretty special," explained Faccinto, referring to his second-place finish with car owners Alan Bradway and Steve "Tooch" Tuccelli. "Tooch and Alan put a lot into the race and it's very important to them. Hopefully we can be one spot better this year." Several additional prizes are up for grabs, including $5,200 in additional lap money, and a $5500 payday to the winner of the 40-lap main event. Other awards include $1,000 to the leader of lap three of the main event, $1000 to the driver that pulls the number 3 pill during the dash redraw, $700 for the Carwash Mike Avila Quick Time, $550 for the Hardcharger award, $300 to win each heat race, $300 for the third quickest qualifier, and many more. The Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial weekend starts with the Sprint Car Challenge Tour 360 sprint cars on Friday night. The NorCal Dwarf Cars will be the companion division on both nights. Championship Chase Cole Macedo continues to reign atop the current NARC 410 Sprint Car Series point battle. He will enter the Bradway with a 14-point advantage. The Lemoore chauffeur won the season's first two rounds and has yet to have the Tarlton Motorsports #21 finish outside the top five in main event action. Macedo has one career NARC start at Placerville. Currently second in points, Justin Sanders of Aromas has Macedo in his sight. He will try to further slim down the points difference as the Mittry Motorsports #2X team has been in top form recently, including winning two of the last three features. In seven NARC starts at Placerville, Sanders managed to win twice, in 2018 and 2019. Also, in 2019, he was the victor of the Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial. Shane Golobic enters the weekend third in the standings and is the only driver with a single win with NARC in 2024 to his credit. The Fremont pilot is no stranger to success at Placerville as he has an incredible track record with NARC, including a victory in 2016 and 17 top tens in 18 starts at the track. The Matt Wood Racing #17W entry was third in last year's race. Roseville's Sean Becker is coming off a sensational runner-up result in the most recent NARC race and is currently fourth in the table of the championship standings. The 2005 NARC champion won the Bradway in 2006 and is seeking his first series win since 2021. Twice a winner when the tour came to town, achieved in 2004 and 2014, he also posted 15 top ten finishes in nineteen starts. 2017 NARC champion Bud Kaeding completes the top five in points, in fifth. The Campbell chauffeur has collected three finishes in the top five in the first five starts of the 2024 season. Winning twice in NARC competition in 2016 at Placerville, Kaeding has accrued 20 top ten finishes in 22 starts since. He was fifth at last year's Bradway Memorial. Who to Watch Colby Copeland enters the Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial as the defending winner. The Roseville racer captured an emotional victory for car owners Jim and Annette Van Lare after Jim's father had recently passed away. Copeland may not race a full schedule, but he is always a threat to win whenever he's in the starting lineup. Tanner Carrick had some impressive results at Placerville when NARC visited. Finishing fourth last year and the runner-up in 2022, the Lincoln driver has been so close to breaking through for his first career NARC win. Could this year be the year he finally wins at the Bradway? Andy Forsberg is one of the drivers with the most laps at the El Dorado County Fairgrounds facility, and he has nine track titles to his credit. Hailing from Auburn, Forsberg is coming off a solid fifth place running at Stockton and is looking for his first career Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial victory. Roseville's Justyn Cox will search for the big check on Saturday night. He's qualified for five career NARC features at Placerville, with a fourth-place result in 2016. Last year, the Bates-Hamilton Racing #42X entry, driven by Cox, was eighth at the Bradway Memorial. Other regulars of the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series that will be in action include Chase Johnson of Penngrove, Benicia's Billy Aton, Dylan Bloomfield from Oakley, Gilroy gasser Jarrett Soares, current rookie of the year point leader Caeden Steele of Easton, Clovis' Dominic Gorden, Gauge Garcia from Lemoore, Wilton's Ashlyn Rodriguez, and Chico drivers Nick Parker and Michael Ing. Other notable drivers to make the trip are 2021 and 2022 NARC champion Dominic Scelzi of Fresno, 2019 NARC crown winner D.J. Netto from Hanford, Templeton's Kaleb Montgomery, and Joey Ancona from Clayton, and many more!

- TULARE & STOCKTON DOUBLEHEADER WEEKEND ON TAP FOR NARC SPRINT CARS
(5/13/24 - Ben Deatherage) Sacramento, CA ... The wait for an entire weekend of NARC 410 Sprint Car Series racing is almost over, as the 900+ horsepower behemoths of the tour are in action not once but twice, this Saturday and Sunday! First, Thunderbowl Raceway will be the first stop on Saturday, May 18th, for KRC Safety Night. But wait, there is more! The Stockton Dirt Track will visit the reconfigured ¼-mile track for a Sunday Twilight Show spectacular for the rescheduled Salute to LeRoy Van Conett. Among them will be Easton, CA driver Caeden Steele, the current leader in the race for the NARC Rookie of the Year award. He sits ninth in the standings. "I'm excited to get back to 410 racing, especially Tulare," said Steele. "I have a lot of laps there, and that's one of my favorite tracks because it really fits my driving style. The season has been pretty great so far. We've been lucky enough to avoid some of the wrecks, so we'll see if we can continue that." The journey to the famed 1/3-mile clay oval in Tulare marks the fourth event of the 65th Anniversary season for the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series, followed by the Stockton Dirt Track show. The companion divisions for the Tulare are the Kings of Thunder 360 Sprints and West Coast Sport Compacts, while the Bay Cities Racing Association Midgets will be on the card on Sunday for Stockton. Sunday's race will honor the living legend LeRoy Van Conett, one of the all-time great drivers to come out of California. The "Dragon from Galt" scored eight NARC titles (1969, 1970, 1975, 1977, 1978, 1980, 1981, and 1984) and won the track title at Calistoga Speedway on seven occasions. He was the 1976 Gold Cup Race of Champions winner at the defunct West Capital Raceway. He was inducted into the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame in 1999. The Van Conett race was established in 2016, and Shane Golobic and D.J. Netto are tied for the most wins at this event, with two apiece. Championship Chase With three completed rounds in the 2024 schedule, the march for the King of the West championship is still in the early stages. Cole Macedo enters the weekend as the series point leader. He is a tough customer to beat on the track and has yet to finish outside the top five this season. The Lemoore racer, piloting the Tarlton Motorsports #21 entry, already has won two of three events in 2024 and is coming off of a fifth-place result at Antioch. Aromas driver Justin Sanders, the winner of last Saturday's show at Antioch, is only 11-points behind Macedo. Who to Watch Many Central Valley-based competitors will attend, several of which are competing for the Rookie Of The Year honors. Steele currently leads the chase as the BCCR Racing #121 entry has been incredible despite a limited number of 410 Sprint Car starts to his name. Gauge Garcia, from Lemoore, is looking to bounce back from a hard flip last weekend. The Keller Motorsports #2K team is also looking to try and build on their tenth-place finish in their most recent Stockton NARC outing. Dominic Gorden is looking to keep early-season gremlins behind him. The Clovis teenager had a season-best result last Saturday with his 12th-place effort. Mariah Ede made her NARC debut last weekend. She is one of the newest members of the massive pool of 410 talent from California and has an extremely bright future. The Fresno racer will be running both tracks for the first time in a 410 between the frame rails. Another local driver also making the journey is the aforementioned Netto, from Hanford, who is always a threat to win against the competition when he rolls into the pit area. The 2019 NARC champion has twice won with the series at Stockton, which happens to be the Van Conett Tribute and grabbed a victory at Tulare in 2015. Justin Sanders got a big win last weekend for the Mittry Motorsports #2X team at the Contra Costa County Clash. The Aromas racer didn't win; he dominated, leading all the laps of the feature, setting a quick time, and winning the dash. He will undoubtedly look to continue that positive momentum. Sanders was third in his last Tulare outing with NARC and has two Stockton wins. The previously referenced Golobic will looking to score his 16th career NARC victory. The Matt Wood Racing #17W entry has finished second in three shows so far. The Fremont racer will look to win his second career Tulare win with the series for the first time since 2018. His only two NARC wins at Stockton were during the Van Conett race. Other NARC 410 Series regulars in action will include 2017 champion Bud Kaeding of Campbell, Justyn Cox from Roseville, Oakley pilot Dylan Bloomfield, Billy Aton from Benicia, Penngrove's Chase Johnson, Chico pilots Nick Parker and Michael Ing, and Jarrett Soares of Gilroy. Other notable names expected will be two-time NARC champ Dominic Scelzi from Fresno, Lincoln's Tanner Carrick, and Ryan Bernal of Roseville.
