WATSONVILLE, CALIF. (April 16, 2022) – 16-year-old Corey Day of Clovis enjoyed a Good Friday in Watsonville, taking his first career Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo victory at the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds dirt track. Day earned fast-time, then charged past former track champions Shane Golobic of Fremont and Aromas’ Justin Sanders for the breakthrough performance.

“There’s definitely some luck involved with Justin’s wing falling down and then Shane made that mistake in two and gave me the lead. Super pumped. Ran second here way too many times last year to not win one this year,” Day said. “It’s tough man (to win in 360 Sprint Cars). Last year was my first year but we came really close. These guys are no joke. I didn’t feel a difference running up front with the Outlaws as I did with these guys.”
Dirt.Travel qualifying went to Day with an 11.256 second lap but it was Sanders earning the pole position after winning the dash. Sanders and Dwarf Car dash winner Danny Wagner helped officials award two bikes and bags full of Easter candy to the kids in the crowd for Easter weekend. Sanders then slotted alongside Golobic for the 30-lap feature in a champion vs. champion front row for the feature.
Sanders was the early race leader while Day and former NARC 410 champion DJ Netto worked past Jason Bright of Antioch to take fourth and fifth respectively by lap four. The first look at traffic presented itself by just the seventh lap with a 22-car field competing. Action slowed with a caution on lap nine for Keith Day, Jr. spinning.
Lincoln’s Blake Carrick emerged in fifth on the following restart. The caution waved for 2021 Rookie of the Year Bryce Eames of Santa Maria slowing in turn two with a flat left front tire. Golobic seized the lead from Sanders on lap 13 on the restart, while Sanders began to fight a broken front wing mount. He had several wheel stands down the backstretch as he defended second from Day.
Day took over second on lap 20 then turned his attention to Golobic. Day showed his nose to “Sugar Shane” in turn three on lap 21 in traffic, but the caution fell for Bright stopping in turn four.
Golobic had used the bottom throughout the main event but went to the top on the restart, hitting the curb at the top of turn two while maintaining the lead. On the following lap, Golobic hit the curb much harder and kicked his No. 17w sideways. Day jumped underneath to take the lead on lap 24. Golobic tagged the curb again on lap 25 but kept second over Sanders. Keith Day spun in turn two for a caution on lap 26 and was hit by Brad Dillard.
Corey Day faced pressure from Golobic throughout the final four laps, with Golobic diving low in turn three on multiple occasions. Corey Day kept the lead and earned his first win over Golobic, Sanders, incoming points leader Tanner Carrick, and Redding’s Max Mittry. Keith Day won the Beer Optics Hard Luck Award.
Delta Dwarf regular Danny Wagner of Baypoint swept the South Bay Dwarf Cars opening Watsonville round on Friday night. Wagner started near the back of the first heat race and won, then dominated the dash. He led all 20-laps of the feature for the victory. The race was slowed several times for minor spins with the most serious incident requiring a red flag on lap three. Mike Aceves flipped but the San Jose driver was OK. Wagner led Joe Barket of Morro Bay, Mark Biscardi of San Jose, Dan Zuger of San Jose, and Barry Waddell of Redwood City at the finish.\
Hobby Stock points leader Joe Gallaher won his third main event of the year by leading wire-to-wire in the 20-lap contest. The lone caution came out on lap 11. Teddy Ragsdale of Merced and Watsonville’s Jerry Skelton hooked bumpers in turn two, sending Ragsdale spinning and nearly collecting last week’s winner Terry Campion of Santa Cruz.
Former IMCA Sport Modified champion Adriane Frost of Watsonville challenged Gallaher briefly in turn four on the restart, but Gallaher drove ahead for the win. Tim Ragsdale, Skelton, and Santa Cruz’ Brady Muller rounded out the top-five.
In what he described in victory lane as the last night for the popular purple “Circle 3” car, DJ Keldsen of Freedom won the 15-lap Four Banger feature. Keldsen took the lead from points leader Troy Moore of Santa Cruz on lap two and never looked back. Keldsen led Moore, Watsonville’s Richard Mitchell, Kenny Stragalinos of Boulder Creek, and TJ Santos of Gilroy at the finish.

Antioch,
CA...April 16...Zack Neeley scored the win in the 20 lap Wingless Spec
Sprint Main Event Saturday night at Antioch Speedway. This was only his
second ever start in the John Hendrickson owned car, and he had to
withstand some serious pressure from Jacob Williams in the waning laps.
The
race had multiple yellow flags before a lap was recorded, and two-time
champion Dan Gonderman took the early lead ahead of Josh Gillis and
Neeley. Neeley slipped into second on the fourth lap and made a Turn 2
pass on Gonderman for the lead a lap later. Jimmy Christian gained
second with a Turn 4 pass on the sixth lap and set his sights on Neeley.
Unfortunately, contact between Christian and Neeley on the front
straightaway on Lap 8 left Christian with damage as the yellow flag
waved. Neeley led Williams on the restart. A Lap 11 red flag waved after
a tangle between Gonderman and Ethon Landfri saw Landfri roll in Turn
4. Neeley continued to lead Williams and James East on the restart.
Williams begin pressuring Neeley for the lead, and the duo went side by
side on the 18th lap. Williams went low in Turn 4 as they worked the
19th lap. Williams appeared to make the winning pass, but a yellow flag
waved for a Clint Motta spin in Turn 2. Neeley led the final restart and
the remaining circuits to win ahead of Williams, East, Bernard and
Gonderman.
NorCal
Dwarf Car stat Michael "Spanky" Grenert won the 20 lap Delta Dwarf Car
Main Event. Grenert had to battle point leader Danny Wagner to get the
lead. David Rosa took the early lead, only to surrender it to a low pass
in Turn 3 by Dan Geil on the second lap. David Michael Rosa moved into
the second spot a lap later. Devan Kammermann settled into third and
made a low pass in Turn 4 on lap five for second. However, there was
contact on the backstretch between Kammermann and Geil on Lap 9,
allowing Grenert and Wagner to race by for the first two positions. An
outside pass on the frontstretch on Lap 12 put Wagner into the lead, and
David Michael Rosa lost a tire on the backstretch for a yellow flag
moments later. Grenert made a big move on the restart that ended with
him going low in Turn 4 to get the lead. It was close between the lead
duo for a few laps, but Grenert would prevail at the checkered flag.
Wagner settled for second ahead of Kammermann, Chance Russell and Geil.
Sage
Boardenave won the 20 lap WMR Midget Main Event. The race had a few
mishaps and was a battle of attrition. Local star Bryant Bell took the
early lead ahead of Boardenave and Brody Petrie. The red flag waved
after two laps when Logan Mitchell flipped in Turn 2. Bell continued to
lead Boardenave and Petrie on the restart, but another red flag fell
when Tyler Dolacki flipped in Turn 4 on Lap 4. Bell led Boardenave and
Petrie on the next restart. Multi-time champion David Prickett headed
for the pits, and Bell was slowed when he hit a rut going through Turns 3
and 4 on Lap 10. A lap later, Boardenave made a Turn 4 pass to get the
lead with Petrie following intp second. Bell ended up pitting, and
Boardenave got the win ahead of Petrie, Kyle Hawse, Bell and Prickett.
Tom
Brown won the 20 lap Mini Stock Main Event. The reigning Antioch and
Petaluma champion settled into an early second behind the Dana Gardner,
but a high pass in Turn 4 of the fifth lap gained Brown the lead. Brown
pulled away a little bit on Gardner, leaving Shan Titman and Dan Abitz
to battle for the third position. Abitz slowed on the backstretch on the
10th lap and would get lapped a couple of laps later. Brown was never
really challenged after getting the lead and he won ahead of Gardner,
Titman, Abitz and Laina Bales.
When
five Pacific Coast General Engineering Hobby Stock drivers came out to
do some practice laps, track officials elected to give them an
exhibition race. Jason Robles won that 10 lapper. Robles led from the
start ahead of Danny Aves and reigning champion Larry McKinzie Jr. Aves
and McKinzie had a side-by-side battle for several laps before McKinzie
gained second on Lap 6. Robles won ahead of McKinzie, Aves, Michael
Mates and Angela Brown.
Next
up on the CoCo Farms Calendar will be the Wingless Spec Sprints next
Saturday night. Joining them will be the IMCA Sport Modifieds, Pacific
Coast General Engineering Hobby Stocks and Delta Dwarf Cars. For further

Sport Modifieds, Spec Sprints, Highlight Saturday Show
At Antioch Speedway

Keller #38 is the 2017 IMCA Sport Modified champion and third on the
all-time win list for the division. Photo by Katrina Kniss
Antioch,
CA...After the successful Easter weekend event, racing returns to
Antioch Speedway this Saturday night. The IMCA Sport Modifieds are back
In action along with the Wingless Spec Sprints, Pacific Coast General
Engineering Hobby Stocks and Delta Dwarf Cars. It figures to be an
action-packed show from start to finish.
After
three events, two-time reigning IMCA Sport Modified champion Fred
Ryland is tied for the lead with rising young star Andrew Pearce. The
duo are just four points ahead of another young gun, Jacob Mallet Jr. 11
points back is Tyler Browne and 12 back is KC Keller. The championship
battle is just getting started. Some of these drivers headed to Merced
for the big money race two weeks ago. Ryland pocketed $2,000 for his
second place finish that night.
Keller
has proven to be a formidable competitor at Antioch since joining the
action in 2015. It took him a couple of seasons before winning the 2017
championship. He seems to always be in the mix for a win, and his
victory at the most recent race was his 13th at Antioch, keeping him
third on the division's all-time win list behind Ryland and Trevor
Clymens. After notching third place seasons in the championship battle
for the last two years, it could be that this will be his year to take
it up a notch and win it all again.
The
Wingless Spec Sprints got off to a bumpy start for their season opener
last week, which was won by newcomer Zack Neeley. Neeley was behind the
wheel of the John Hendrickson owned entry. Hendrickson himself has
competed at Antioch in Street Stocks, IMCA Modifieds and was one of the
first drivers to get on board with Spec Sprint racing. Neeley was only
making his second start in that car, and he had to hold off Jacob
Williams for the win.
Running
back in third was Tony Bernard. Bernard hails from Santa Rosa, but he
likes coming out and racing against the competitive field at Antioch
Speedway. Last season, Tony used consistency to finish third in the
standings and only missed second by six points. At his home track in
Petaluma, Tony proved to be quite a competitive Street Stock racer in
the late 1980s and early 1990s before moving up to the IMCA Modifieds.
He'd been away for a few years, but he's proven that he still knows the
fast way around the race track.
Early
season favorite Bob Newberry had people proclaiming him the driver to
beat in his quest for an unprecedented third division championship.
Unfortunately, he started off with some motor issues last week. Bob
decided to go out and take a green flag for the points. Somehow, he was
still making some passes, but he ended up heading for the pits after
being involved in a tangle with another driver.
Likewise,
two-time champion Dan Gonderman seemed to get battered a little bit,
but he still managed a fifth place feature finish. Division original
Rick Panfili wasn't as lucky as Gonderman. He suffered motor issues in
his heat race and loaded up early.
Some
people are proclaiming 2022 to be the year of the ladies in the Pacific
Coast General Engineering Hobby Stocks. Women at the front of the pack
are nothing new in this class as Denise McCown and her daughter Megan
Ponciano are both champions. Melissa Myers has also claimed the
championship glory. As for McCown and Ponciano, the third generation of
the family, Aiden Ponciano, is doing quite well. He could be a threat to
win this week.
With
three wins to her credit, Misty Welborn sits atop the standings by just
six points ahead of Michaela Taylor and 12 in front of the tied Taylor
DeCarlo and Jess Paladino. Reigning champion Larry McKinzie Jr didn't
finish the most recent race and fell back to fifth, 14 points out of
lead.
Taylor
has looked fast lately and ended up finishing a career best second at
the most recent show. Some people are predicting that she could get her
first win very soon. However, fellow female leadfoot Taylor DeCarlo is
turning some heads after another Top 5 finish last time out.
She
is the third generation of her family to go racing. Her father, Terry
DeCarlo Jr, races a Modified with his brother Nick DeCarlo and father
Terry DeCarlo Sr. There could come a time very soon when all three
generations of the family run a race together. Prior to getting into the
Hobby Stocks, Taylor got valuable seat time in Outlaw Karts and Micro
Sprints.
Danny
Wagner finally met his match in the Delta Dwarf Cars last week. NorCal
star Michael "Spanky" Grenert ended the two-race win streak for the
two-time champion. Wagner still holds a 16 point lead over Devan
Kammermann. 26 points back is Jack Haverty. He leads Chance Russell by
16 points in the battle for third, while David Rosa is 22 points behind
him. Wagner's team includes Kammermann, Haverty and sixth ranked Ellie
Russo, who got her first win last season.
Kammermann
has a knack for picking up podium finishes, and he has three of them
this year. He had a second place finish at the opener. In reality, most
of the drivers who take the green flag in this class have a legitimate
shot at winning, and Kammermann may be the closest to being the next
winner.
Wagner
brings an extensive amount of experience with him, but he's also
imparting his knowledge to a newer group of races. Those drivers are
getting better with each start.
The
racing action is sure to be entertaining from start to finish this
Saturday night. The grandstands will open at 4:00 pm with the first race
firing off at 6:00 pm.
The
CoCo Farms Antioch Speedway racing calendar has some great events lined
up from now through the end of November. For further information, go to

Wolford Scores Thrilling West Coast Sport Compact Win
At The KCRP Dirt Track
Bakersfield,
CA...April 9...David Wolford Jr won the 20 lap West Coast Sport Compact
Main Event Saturday night at the Kern County Raceway Park Dirt Track.
The WCSC competitors were running in support of the Dwarf Car Regionals
event, and the lead changed hands multiple times before Wolford moved
back ahead and held off past champion Dan Myrick for victory.
Shawn
DePriest took the early lead ahead of Wolford and Jeff Durant. Reigning
champion Greg Baronian moved into third on Lap 2, and an inside pass on
the backstretch on Lap 5 put Wolford into the lead. Myrick moved past
Nick Thompson for the fourth position. The battle heated up at the front
of the pack on Lap 10 with DePriest making an inside pass on the
backstretch to regain first. It became a close five-car battle at the
front at that point, and Myrick went low in Turn 4 on Lap 13 to take
third from Baronian. Myrick then went low in Turn 4 on Lap 16 to take
second from DePriest. Myrick made an inside pass exiting Turn 2 as they
worked the 17th lap. This put him in the lead, but Jamesie Baker spun in
front of him for a yellow flag. Wolford regained the lead at that point
and led Myrick and Baronian when the green flag flew. Myrick was
pressuring David Wolford Jr hard in the waning laps, but Wolford
prevailed for the well earned victory. Baronian settled for third,
followed by DePriest, Durant, Nick Thompson, Gene Glover, Kevin
Thompson, Eddie Humphrey III and Destiny Wolford.
In
TL Performance/Handle It Grips/S-15 Tees heat race action, it was Ryan
Doglione winning the first eight lap race ahead of David Wolford Jr.
Baronian prevailed in the second heat ahead of DePriest. Next up for the
group will be Tulare Thunderbowl on April 30th. For further

Everson,
Washington...April 15...Derek Holmwood won the 25 lap Shots 2 Go
Espresso 1200 Lightning Sprint Main Event Friday night at Deming
Speedway. Holmwood took the lead from Dakota Drake with less than 10
laps to go and brought it home to victory from there.
Drake
started on the pole and charged into the lead at the green flag,
followed by Seth Hespe and Jared Gunderson. Holmwood moved into third on
the third lap and overtook Hespe for second on Lap 8. Holmwood set his
sights on Drake and got by for first on Lap 18. Drake saw his race come
to a disappointing end for a Lap 20 yellow flag. Holmwood continued to
lead Brock Lemley and Hespe on the restart, and they finished in that
order. Gunderson settled for fourth, followed by Alex Lewis, Terry
Lewis, Tyson Cross, Tyson Lemley, Drake and Haley Bloodgood. Drake and
Gunderson won the eight lap heat races.
Jesse
Schlotfeldt won the 25 lap Speed Mart Super 600 Micro Sprint Main
Event. Parker Hadlock led the first five laps with Haley Constance
moving into second on Lap 3 ahead of Schlotfelt. Hadlock saw his race
come to an abrupt end on Lap 5 with Schlotfeldt leading a lap before
Colin Mackey briefly moved into first a lap later. On the eighth lap,
Schlotfeldt regained the lead with sixth row starter Levi Kuntz moving
into second ahead of Mackey. Schlotfeldt went on to lead the rest of the
way ahead of Kuntz, Mackey, Blaine Granberg, Dylan Resch, Tristin
Thomas, Rachel Westmoreland, Tyler Conley, Macy Logsdon and Spencer
Constance. Mackey, Resch and Spencer Constance were the eight lap heat
race winners.
Levi
Hillier picked up the win in the 25 lap mytrafficman.net 600 Restricted
Micro Sprint Main Event. Hillier started on the pole and proceeded to
lead all the way in victory. Ryan Bright was an early second ahead of
Peyton Drake. Unfortunately, Drake retired on Lap 6 with fourth row
starter Corbin Ramsey moving into third. David Greene was running fourth
and briefly took third from Ramsey on Lap 12. Ramsey moved back into
third on the 14th lap, but Greene made a big move into second on Lap 16.
Ramsey ended up third a lap later. Hillier went on to win ahead of
Greene, Ramsey, Carson Guffie, Mallory Fisher, Rilee Kentch, Jalen
Serrano, Clayton Jalakas, Bright and Dean Lehmann.
Avery
Askvig, Guffie and Ramsey won the eight lap heat races as 21 drivers
came to compete. The 10 lap B Main win went to Junior Sprint graduate
Clayton Jalakas. Jalakas led all the way to win. Cruz Kentch was second
for a lap before Serrano took over the position. Kentch held third until
retiring on Lap 5. Hunter Cook gained third at that point, but Karma
Fagerlie made a last lap move to finish third as Jalakas won ahead of
Serrano and Fagerlie.
Colton
Knapp won the 20 lap Clean Crawls Jr Sprint Main Event. Knapp led from
start to finish. McKenna Morgan ran second early on. Hudson Johnson took
third, only to surrender the position to Sawyer Baxter on the third
lap. Cooper Anderson got by for third on Lap 5 and slipped past Morgan
for second on the eighth lap. As Knapp sped to victory, Anderson had a
problem on the final circuit with Morgan finishing in the runnerup
position, followed by Baxter, Chase Whitney, Johnson, Kameren Horoshes,
