The 1/7th mile dirt track at the San Joaquin County Fairgrounds welcomed a worldwide field of drivers for the 2024 Hoosier Tire California Speedweek on July 5 and 6, with Stockton’s Caden Sarale scoring three checkered flags over the weekend to clinch the Non-Wing championship. Arizona’s Austin Torgerson won the Super 600 crown with Bakersfield’s Blayden Graham winning the Restricted title and Mackcen Roush of Riverdale prevailing as Jr. Sprints champion.
In track championships competition, the winged Super 600 action is a tight one. Madera’s Logan Trevino holds a narrow five-point cushion over Brentwood’s Jeffrey Pahule despite no victories this season. Fresno’s Raio and Mattix Salmon and Rocklin’s Tucker Lacaze round out the top-five. Pahule, Mattix Salmon, and Lacaze each have one feature win this year. A 30-lap feature is on tap.
2022 Non-Wing track champion Nikko Panella of Stockton leads the 2024 Non-Wing battle with one feature win, followed closely by Brentwood’s Jeffrey Pahule who is a three-time feature winner in 2024. Dalton Hill of Madera Ranchos, Mattix Salmon, and Colin Kirby of Pleasanthill are also in pursuit in the championship standings. The Non-Wing machines also race in a 30-lap affair.
Hayden Stepps of Oakdale is having the best season of her Micro Sprint career with three victories and possession of the Restricted points lead. Jackson Tardiff of Vacaville has one feature win this season to rank second in the standings. The balance of the top-five features Tracy’s Levi Osborne, 2023 Jr. Sprints champion Briggs Davis of Manteca, and Dean Skrifvars of Casto Valley. Restricted competes in a 25-lap feature on Saturday night.
Hayden’s younger brother Heston has a pair of victories to lead the Jr. Sprints standings by a tiny margin. Only three points separate Stepps and Haven Sherman of Citrus Heights. Easton Wright of Martinez, Zacharay Williams of Sacramento, and Lucas Fenn of Oakley make up the rest of the top-five. Clayton’s David Anderson is still within striking distance from sixth in the standings also. Delta Speedway’s youngest racers will compete in a 20-lap feature.
