Farrington got a good run on the start and took the early lead. However, 2011 Track Champion Paulson stole the lead on lap two. As Paulson gained the lead, positions second through ninth were all battling for placements on lap four. On lap seven, Bocksberger lost a right rear tire driving into the front stretch wall and sent his machine into turn one wall. Tough break for Bocksberger as he was running in the sixth position.  His tire was bouncing all through the front straight away and the rest of the field did a great job in avoiding the bouncing tire. In the meantime, Thompson pulled off the track for a flat tire and a little bit of fender damage. Thompson made it safe on track under the red flag. Paulson and Perez were set to lead the restart and the two raced side by side until Perez powered out front for the lead heading into turn three. On lap eight, No.68 Dan Buzzurro also lost a right rear tire heading into turn four and slid up the track into turn four wall. Again the rest of the field preformed great cautious maneuvers as the tire bounced around in turn four. Perez and Paulson led the field to the restart once again and the two battled side by side rubbing for the next five laps. On lap 17, Erick Ray began to run down the leaders trying to close the gap between them. As the leaders approached lap traffic on lap 21, this helped Ray close in on the leaders.  On lap 26, Ray went to make an inside move on Paulson in turn two and the two collided sending Paulson spinning. Perez and Ray set the pace for the restart and Perez got the early lead over Ray. On lap 29, Ray dove to the inside of Perez in turn two and the two collided drifting through turn as Ray stole the lead.

Chunn and Milburn raced side by side into turn one and two until both McCord and Krizysik spun on the backstretch causing a complete restart as the field never completed the first lap. Both drivers drove off fine and got back into their original starting positions to do this one more time. This time Milburn took the early lead as Scribner, Krizysik and Scott made an incredible three wide pass for fifth as the three experienced drivers drove three wide around the entire track for three laps with Scribner taking fifth. Now driving three wide for that long of period on such a tight track is hard to do at All American Speedway but these experienced drivers showed the officials and fans of the track it could be done and be done clean. On lap five, No. 3 Bobby Butler and Krizysik collided on the front stretch which sent Butler climbing on Scott's hood sending Butler airborne in turn one. An immediate red flag was thrown and surprisingly Butler's car was able to keep on driving after that hard airborne landing up the banks in turn one. The restart was incomplete as the track turn three and four lights went out leaving darkness. AAS officials quickly investigated the problem and were able to get the lights back on in a timely manner and racing was under way. Milburn and Chunn restarted the field and Milburn again takes the early lead sending Chunn to battle with hard charging Scribner as the two raced side by side for second. On lap nine, Krizysik and Roman collided in turn two sending Krizysik spinning collecting the majority of the field behind him as no one had any room to make it around the No. 16 car. No. 71 socal driver Kyle McGrady suffered the worst of the wreck ending his night early as well as No. 21 Dennis Loe. Other drivers who suffered damages were No. 98 Glenn Cook and Mindy McCord. After AAS safety crew quickly cleared up the wreckage on track racing was under way. Milburn and Scribner were set to pace the field for the restart and Scribner took the early lead. Milburn was left to battle with Scott for second as the two would race side by side for a few laps swapping positions at the stripe. Another caution was thrown on lap 13, as Mindy McCord spun in turn three. Scribner and Scott restarted the field to the green flag and Scribner jumped out for the lead as Scott trailed behind him. In the meantime Milburn and Chunn were battling side by side for third. Beginning on lap 18, Scribner and Scott raced side by side for the lead swapping lead positions until Scott took control of the lead on lap 24 during a restart. As Scribner was hung on the outside on the restart, Milburn followed Scott through for second. For the next 44 laps Scott and Milburn battled hard for the top spot racing side by side as Scribner would quietly follow closely behind them. On lap 69, Milburn confirmed the lead as he powered ahead of Scott and the top three drivers were nose to tail to the end of the 75th lap. Travis Milburn went on to win his second Late Model victory at All American Speedway followed by Matt Scott, Chris Scribner, Ron Chunn and No.21x Bobby Runyan Jr the final five.

IGNITE BRAND ETHANOL RACING FUELS OFFER BENEFITS FOR MODIFIEDS

SACRAMENTO, CA - Star Racing Supply and Ignite Ethanol Racing Fuels collaborate to bring a new level of Ethanol fuel to the West Coast. Star Racing Supply is the new home for housing Ignite Ethanol Racing Fuels for Modified racers in northern California. The American company, Ignite Ethanol Racing Fuels, can provide the racer many benefits from faster lap times to conserving fuel on race day.

Ignite Racing Fuels are a family of ethanol blended racing fuels designed and blended specifically for racing.  Unlike many race fuel companies Ignite is 100% American and only makes fuels for competition.  Using the highest quality raw ethanol, Ignite produces consistently blended fuels metered by hand on every batch to insure that racers receive the same high quality blends every barrel, every time.  Ignite produces four specific unleaded and oxygenated formulas so that every customer has the right option and the correct fuel for their power plant and racing application.

Ignite Green is designed for racers who want the very best in performance and value. Specially formulated for mid to high compression engines, Ignite Green produces 108 octane for substantial cost savings compared to foreign based racing fuels. With the cooling effects of alcohol and the clean burning nature of a bio-fuel, Ignite Green is the natural choice for peak performance. Ignite Green is not E85 and like Ignite Red uses higher ethanol percentages to give racers the edge. 

Ignite Red is the ultimate in high performance ethanol fuels.  Designed for high performance big blocks and/or high boost turbo or supercharged applications, Ignite Red allows you to take an engine to the absolute limits. Scientifically designed to work in high pressure combustion chambers environments, Ignite Red produces 114 octane and like all Ignite fuels provides value with high performance.  With the extreme cooling effects of ethanol, Ignite Red allows turbocharged engines to even run with the waste gate closed, while producing more horsepower than petroleum based fuels.

"We tested the Ignite brand ethanol racing fuels on track & on the dyno, in our 410" Modified engines.  We found three major benefits. The first being a better power curve with a lot less bottom end torque and huge gains in top end power. The second benefit was the drivers said the power curve is much more drivable and suitable for short track oval racing than methanol and more powerful than racing gasolines.  Lap times proved to be quicker.  Lastly, and this is big, the fuel mileage gain is huge over methanol.  It takes a lot less fuel to run the same number of laps.  Modified racers can start with less fuel if needed, reduce unwanted rear weight percentage that makes these cars loose on entry and see less front-to-rear weight change over the course of a race.  I was expecting a small change, but it is a dramatic difference in every area.  The fuel costs more, but you use less.  I estimate we'll spend 10% more for fuel, but we already see huge performance gains that would cost a fortune," stated Ron Sutton. 

Star Racing Supply offers over 400 brands of racing parts & supplies. Star Racing Supply, the Modified headquarters for Northern California, is the official source for Goodyear tires as well as for Ignite Ethanol Racing Fuels with E108 & E114 in stock. Star Racing Supply offers a full line of Modified and Stock Car chassis and parts including Howe, Port City, Racecar Factory, Hyperco, Draco, Swift, Eibach, QA1, Fuel Safe and many more.

Pursley Wraps Up NASCAR K&N Pro Series West Championship

Holmes battles back for win at All American Speedway

ROSEVILLE, Calif. (Oct. 15, 2011) — Greg Pursley, in a dominating season, clinched the 2011 NASCAR K&N Pro Series West championship when the Toyota/NAPA Auto Parts 150 presented by Pick-N-Pull got underway on Saturday night at All American Speedway. And about 57 minutes later, Eric Holmes collected the race win.

Pursley of Newhall, Calif., simply needed to take the green flag to nail down his first series title with one race left on the schedule, but that proved to be a little dramatic. At the drop of the green, Pursley, who started the race in the seventh position, was in a tangle of cars coming off Turn 4. The incident left Pursley and Michael Self turned around and damage to other cars, including Jessica Brunelli.

“The green flag flew and we got dumped,” Pursley said. “We didn’t even get into fourth gear. So, we started dead-last and kind of was on a mission after that. We probably had to burn the car down going from last to the top five. We tried to run a little bit and save a little bit. These guys were running hard tonight. We had a good race tonight. We got up to second and battled Eric for the win. I couldn’t ask for anything more.”

That little scuffle aside, the 2011 season could not have gone better for Pursley. He picked up six wins in the season’s first eight events to open up a huge 298-point lead in the standings. Despite not having won since July 10 at Evergreen Speedway in Monroe, Wash., Pursley has continued to run well. Factoring in his runner-up finish in this race, Pursley has top-five finishes in each of his last four starts.

“The Gene Price Motorsports team did a great job and gave me a great car,” Pursley said. “That’s pretty much how it’s been all year. It’s been a dream season to me, winning six races and five poles and finally winning a championship here. I can’t thank them enough.”

For Holmes of Escalon, Calif., the Toyota/NAPA Auto Parts 150 presented by Pick-N-Pull victory was his second straight series win and fourth in eight starts at All American Speedway, his adopted home track.

His victory did not come easy, however. In qualifying earlier in the day, Holmes had the fastest time for much of the session until the final car went on the clock and 18-year-old Jacob Gomes nabbed the pole position.

Gomes gained the early lead and Holmes hounded the teen through the early stages of the event, until finally getting by on Lap 31. Another teenager, 2011 Sunoco Rookie of the Year Dylan Kwasniewski, had ideas of his own, however, and took command on Lap 68. A fierce battle continued among the leaders throughout the race.

Derek Thorn got past Kwasniewski on Lap 120, but a few laps later the two made contact coming through Turn 4. The incident left Thorn at the back of the pack and resulted in an aggressive driving penalty from NASCAR officials that put Kwasniewski at the back, also.

Fifteen-year-old Cameron Hayley inherited the lead, but had to contend with a pack of hungry challengers on the restart. Holmes took the lead on Lap 140 and then was able to hold off Pursley over the final 12 laps of competition.

“I always look forward to coming to All American Speedway,” said Holmes. “We’ve got a lot of support from NAPA and a lot of local fans. It’s one of my favorite races of the year. We usually win it or something happens.

“Tonight, we had a great car,” he said. “We had to give up the lead there for a little while. We lost the brakes – had a little brake issue. But we got it dialed in and saved the car for the end. 

The NAPA Toyota is in Victory lane two races in a row. I’ve got to thank everybody on the team. Ty Joiner coming back on board … I missed him. The two races we’ve been together, we’ve won two in a row. It’s great to have him back.”

Hayley closed out the race in the third position followed by Luis Martinez Jr. and Chad Boat in fourth and fifth, respectively. Rounding out the top 10 were Gomes, Ryan Philpott, Daryl Harr, Kwasniewski and Matt Scott – the local track champion who was making his series debut.

With his win, Holmes moved to second in the championship standings behind Pursley – 2,220 to 1,902. Moses Smith is third with 1,868, followed by Martinez with 1,854 and Kwasniewski with 1,792. Sixth through 10th are Brett Thompson at 1,763, Michael Self at 1,740, Daryl Harr at 1,591, Philpott at 1,545 and Carl Harr at 1,429.

The Toyota/NAPA Auto Parts 150 presented by Pick-N-Pull will air on SPEED on Thursday, Oct. 20 at 7 p.m. ET.

The next event on the 2011 schedule for the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West will be the season finale Casino Arizona 125 at Phoenix International Raceway on Saturday, Nov. 12.

SCOTT RUNNING DOUBLE DUTY THIS WEEKEND AT ROSEVILLE

PINE GROVE, CALIFORNIA (October 14, 2011) – 19 year-old Matt Scott is making his NASCAR K&N Pro Series, West debut on Saturday night at All American Speedway but will also defend his home track from a host of outsiders as he will race in Friday night’s Late Model contest as well.  The 2010 & 2011 track championship will be driving a pair of #35 RPM NorCal Chevrolets on the weekend with Saturday’s NASCAR K&N Pro Series effort also supported by Kamps Propane.

A strong performance in testing last Thursday has Scott optimistic about the debut.

“We’re real competitive now,” Scott said, “With a few laps on the tires we’re in the (13.9s) which is respectable for this track.  I’d like to get a top-five but a top-ten would be just as good for me.  We only got about 30 laps of testing because of sound restrictions.”

For Friday night’s Late Model race, more than 20 Late Models are expected to be racing in the 100 lap contest with a huge crowd of Matt Scott Racing supporters in the stands.  RPM NorCal is not only sponsoring Scott in the race but also sponsoring the event itself.

Saturday’s races will be held before a crowd of more than 7,500 plus live radio on NASCARHomeTracks.com and tape-delay coverage on SPEED.  Additional sponsors for Scott’s efforts on Saturday include Pardee Lake Recreation, CatchYourEye.com, TAS Construction, SP Graphics, and Blakesley Sports Media.

Roseville, CA - (September 17, 2011) - On Saturday the 2011 NASCAR Whelen All American Championship series came to a close crowning four division champions putting on an exciting show with lots of burnt rubber laid on the track from celebratory burnouts. Saturday, September 17^th marked the finale of the weekly NASCAR racing featuring the Late Models, Modifieds, Street Stocks and Bombers. A few division championships were already claimed while others were still up for grabs. The Speedway hosted a live band to entertain the fans in between division races.

First up on the agenda were the Street Stocks with an impressive 18 car field and champion runner up No. 23 Richard Poppert Jr. placed his Coors Light machine on top of the charts in qualifying with a fast time of 15.048 seconds. Followed by No. 21 Kevin Owens, No. 08 Mickey Owens, No. 98 Byron Gonzales and No. 52 Matt Camp the fast five. No. 22x Frank Aguirre took home the first heat race win and No. 16 Gary Campora grabbed the second heat race victory. No. 2 Mel Wilson, No. 6 Spencer Emerson, Gary Campora and Frank Aguirre all competed for a trophy in the four lap trophy dash and Gary Campora took home the victory. With an invert of seven, No. 03 Casey Cavender and Matt Camp were placed on the front row to lead the 18 car field to the green. Point’s Leader Mickey Owens, started third and immediately suffered motor problems forcing Mickey to lose ground on the field falling back as far back to the 16^th position. Coming into the race Mickey Owens was the driver seat for the championship, however if he finished last and Richard Poppert jr got the win, Poppert could take away the championship. For the majority of the race it was looking as if Mickey didn’t have a chance in saving his champion title. On lap three, Frank Aguirre was shoved into the grass in turn one but muscled it out saving his car from losing control in the slippery grass. By lap five, Casey Cavender was walking away from the field with a huge gap behind him. Gary Campora’s machine stalled in turn four bringing out the first yellow for the night on lap five. On the restart the first eight cars were all stacked side by side creating some great racing bumping and grinding for positions on putting on a great show for the fans. On lap 11, No. 17 Doug Swartz lost control of his vehicle causing him to spin in turn four bringing out a caution. On the restart, Cavender and Poppert led the field and were racing hard trading rubber. Richard Poppert Jr. gained the lead on lap 12 and by lap 14 Poppert had five car lengths on the car in second. On lap 23, Poppert had his race machine out front by a straightaway until two cars No.2 and No.6 collided in turn two sending both cars in the grass, thus closing the lead gap as the caution was thrown. On the restart, an eager Poppert locked his breaks as he drove deep into turn one and still came out front to continue to lead the race. By lap 28, first thru third were spread out but all the action was the battle for fourth with Byron Gonzales, Chris Lambert, Dave Silva and Casey Cavender in the mix. On lap 33, Mel Wilson spun into the infield and stalled the car, in the meantime no caution was thrown in which Poppert ran to a 1.349 second victory. Kevin Owens second, Matt Camp third, Byron Gonzales fourth and Dave Silva fifth. After the track cleared Mickey Owens performed a burnout smoke-fest all around the track in celebration of his second All American Speedway Street Stock division championship. 

Next up on the schedule was the Modified division fielding 15 cars and No.68 Cody Thompson captured fastest time in qualifying with a time of 14.214 seconds barely holding No. 21 Bobby Runyan in second by .001 seconds. No. 4 Steve Cote, No. 5 Jason Bamberg and No. 92 Scott Heminover the fast five. No. 96 Mikey Lehman took home the first heat race win and points leader No. 29 Dan Jinkerson captured the second heat race victory. Lehaman, Runyan, Cote and Jinkerson all competed in the four lap trophy dash and Jinkerson took home the win. In the main event an invert of seven was spun placing Scott Heminover and No. 50 Gary Glenn in front to lead the pack. The first lap the top six cars all battled side by side for positions. On lap two, Gary Glenn was able to break away from the pack and lead the field. Cote, Runyan, Bamberg and Thompson all battled for the third position. On lap three, Cody Thompson showed lots of sparks flying from his car and No. 22 Troy Nagosek pulled off on lap six. A stuck Nagosek  on the exit ramp to the pits brought out a caution as AAS safety crew quickly removed Nagosek from any harm. On lap nine, the top ten cars all freight trained bumper to bumper. No. 07 Justin Wolff, No. 48 Jim Badaker, No. 53 Chuck Smithhart and No. 05 Chase Grigsby all collided in turn four bringing out a red flag as the ambulance was called for Grigsby and gear oil had spilled all over the track. On lap 24, Cody Thompson made the pass for the lead on Gary Glenn. Thompson collected his second Modified victory and the championship was handed to Dan Jinkerson making this his second Championship with All American Speedway.

Up next was the NASCAR Late Models and No. 35 Matt Scott qualified fastest lap with a time of 13.087 seconds barely holding No. 5 Chris Scribner in second by .091 seconds. No. 11 Juan Pitta, No. 98 Glen Cook and No. 88 Dylan Hutchison the fast five. In the trophy dash Glen Cook captured his first ever trophy dash win at All American Speedway. In the main event the invert of seven placed No. 14 Travis Milburn and No. 16 Jamie Krizysik on the front row in charge of leading the field to the green flag. Travis Milburn took the early lead hoping to pull away from the field. Dylan Hutchison issued a bump and run on Milburn in turn four on lap 11 and completed the pass for the lead. Juan Pitta crowded Matt Scott on the outside to defend position in turn two on lap 11. Matt Scott sniffed out Milburn to make a pass and dove to the inside in turn three moving up to second.

Chris Scribner dove to the inside to pass Glen Cook in turn three on lap 40 to move up to fifth. On lap 45, Scott bumped Hutchison to move him out of the way for the lead. Matt Scott won the Late Model feature as well as the second consecutive Championship at All American Speedway.

On lap 14 Keith Hopkinson stole the lead from Perez. On lap 15, Team Kelly Racing made the pass on Hopkinson for the lead.

Roseville, CA - (September 8, 2011) - This Saturday, September 10 marks NASCAR Whelen All American Series Championship points race No.16 with only two races remaining for the 2011 season at All American Speedway. The Speedway will host a First Responders Night honoring the victims and heroes of the tragic attacks of 9/11 anniversary. All First Responders including firefighters, law enforcement, emergency medical personnel and their dispatchers will receive complimentary general admission to the stands with ID or in uniform.  First Responders Night will be presenting NASCAR Modifieds twin 50’s, Bombers and Street Stocks 35 laps as well as joining the championship series will be USAC Young Guns and Ford Focus Midgets. With Saturday temperatures expected in the mid 90’s, the points chase will be coming down to the wire with heated racing action as the season prepares to come to a close.

Five First Responder individuals will be participating in this weekend’s racing events by experiencing the thrill and excitement of racing. Fire Chief Wynn Latta, Assistant Fire Chief Jeff Carman, Police Chief Daniel Hahn, Police Captain Stefan Moore, and Sheriff Lt. John Savage will all be passengers in five different Bombers experiencing the feeling of being on the edge of racing. Fire fighting equipment will be presented on track during open ceremonies. There will be fire trucks, the ladder truck as well as the 9/11 monument display with a piece of the actual trade center with a beautiful metal art work display of the twin towers overlooking the beam. Be sure to cheer on the five first responder representatives throughout the race day.

In the Street Stock division, Mickey Owens continues to hold the points lead over the field with a 26 point advantage over second place Richard Poppert Jr. Sitting quietly in third is Byron Gonzales with just 55 points from second. Dave Silva sits in fourth as Mel Wilson barely holds onto fifth. With just two races left for the division, and if Mickey Owens continues to provide solid results, he will run with the 2011 championship.

The last Late Model race saw a turn in points as runner up Jason Romero suffered his first DNF which threw a thorn to his points. After this race Matt Scott has locked in the 2011 championship with only one race left for the season. Romero sits just 42 points from Scott which cannot be made up in one race. Juan Pitta sits third with both Chris Scribner fourth and Rookie Dylan Hutchison fifth knocking on Pitta’s door. As the division winds down to the finale, the third spot is still up for grabs.

The unstoppable Dan Jinkerson has had a good run for points this year however with a set of 50’s and one race left the Canadian driver Steve Cote is not too far from first sitting just 52 points away. Andy Field is the new holder of third as Scott Winters slowly falls back in points since the division has not seen the number 24 car at the track for the last five races. Jason Bamberg will most likely be handed the fourth spot as he is only one point behind Winters. 

Eight time Bomber feature winner, Chris Paulson locked in his 2011 championship after the wild night on August 6th when two drivers in second and third in points, Erick Ray and Matt Camp, were placed on probation, losing all competition points leading up to the event. This allowed Richard Perez to step into the second position however Joe Rhodes, in third, is only 24 points from second. Both Eric Bocksberger fourth and Cody Rickard fifth are also in the mix for second. Even though the championship is already crowned all the action is happening in second to fifth. With only two races remaining will Joe Rhodes be able to take second?

Within 18 points of third in points standings

Roseville, CA - (August 17, 2011) - All American Speedway’s highly anticipated Fan Appreciation Night takes place this Saturday, August 20th. The gates to the asphalt oval will be opened as fans take the track to mingle with the drivers, get autographs, and see race cars up close.  All the cars and drivers from all divisions bring their cars on track for the annual meet and greet. 

Other plans include two bounce houses, kids cub karts, lots of free giveaways such as tickets for the Speedway and other events, t-shirts, caps, food coupons and more. 

When the pros take over the track it will be for the NASCAR Whelen All American Series championship points race featuring NASCAR Late Models 100, Modifieds 40, Street Stocks and Bombers 35 laps. As the weather continues to stay hot with Saturday expecting temperatures in the low 90’s the points chase will also continue to get heated providing lots of racing action.  

In the Street Stock division, Mickey Owens continues to hold his points lead over the field, but finished second last weekend handing the win to Richard Poppert Jr. who is currently second in points. In third, Byron Gonzales is still working his magic on narrowing the gap for second. 

After a week off, NASCAR Late Models return. Matt Scott continues to lead the field with a 23 point advantage over Jason Romero sitting in second. Romero continues his winning streak as he tries to close the gap for first. Rookie driver Dylan Hutchison continues to show progression in his first year of stock car racing and has moved into the fourth position narrowing the gap for third with Juan Pitta. 

Dan Jinkerson has gained in his first place points lead as he captured his second Modified win this season. Currently in second, Steve Cote is working hard to get Jinkerson shaking in his boots for the 2011 championship. With three races and one twin 50s left for the 2011 season the battle for the top spot will only continue to get heated. 

Seven time Bomber feature winner, Chris Paulson has finalized his 2011 Championship since the two drivers in second and third in points, Erick Ray and Matt Camp, have been placed on probation, losing all competition points, which gives Richard Perez the second spot.  The gap between Perez and Paulson is so far that Paulson has set in stone the 2011 championship.

NASCAR Late Model driver Ron Chunn drives to a win for his Hero and his son, Cole

By: Kristin Scribner, RMG Race Media Group

Roseville, CA - (June 30, 2011) - 40 year old Ron Chunn, driver of the NASCAR Late Model No. 44 machine is not only a driver, he is also a husband, an employee and a father to three kids, one of which is battling cancer. Ron has been racing for over 10 years and has been dedicated to five full seasons. Ron started out in a street stock and recently in the last two years moved into the NASCAR Late Model division. Chunn was invited to drive for the No. 44 car presented by C & H Racing. Carter was looking for a driver to pilot the No. 44 CFI car and to maintain the race car, and Ron was the perfect fit.

Chunn has never won a race, championship or been fast qualifier at All American Speedway but is looking to change that in 2011. Chunn has captured numerous trophy dash and heat race wins but still hasn’t achieved his first win. “My one racing goal in 2011 is to overcome inconsistent finishes, I want to get my first win for my son,” says Ron on his 2011 racing goals. Chunn has a crew of eight members all of which help support Ron with his racing team. Carter and Heidy are the car owners, Ernie Placencia is the tire guru and mechanic, Roger Hollison is the rig driver, Chad Blevins is the car mechanic and Jay Williams is Ron’s spotter. Chunn stated, “My crew works hard to help me get the car prepared for each race.”  Ron likes racing because he likes the speed, adrenaline, and the fact that it is mechanical and always challenging. “I enjoy racing because people take it seriously and Late Models is a higher division which leads to more opportunities to move up. I like All American Speedway and the constant competition from my fellow competitors,” says Ron.

Ron has three kids with his wife Michelle, Mkenna 14, Raysen 12 and Colton “Cole my hero” 5. Ron’s kids either love or hate racing. When Ron has to work on the car three or four days a week the kids get upset that he’s gone all the time. The oldest son Raysen just started driving a quarter midget, so he thinks his dad being a race car driver is really cool. All of the kids were in attendance at the last Late Model race for the first time in two years which they really enjoyed being there. Since Cole was diagnosed with cancer the family hasn’t been to the track. Michelle feels the same as the kids do about racing. She was very involved for many years before Cole got sick. “I sent Ron to the track when Cole was first diagnosed. Ron would have given up racing at that point but I told him no, so I missed his first Late Model race,” says Michelle.

The youngest child Colton was continuously sick from Christmas 2008 until finally on May 4, 2009 when he was treated for a possible enlarged heart that created breathing problems.  Once he was admitted into the hospital a cancer specialist looked at his results and determined it was a cancerous issue. Cole was then transferred to a hospital that treated children with cancer, Sutter of Sacramento. By May 8, 2009 Cole was diagnosed with stage 3 lymphoblastic lymphoma and he began chemotherapy immediately. With Cole’s treatments Ron has been performing double duty by working, taking care of the family and racing. “Cole has been through a lot since he began his treatments from blood transfusions to hair loss and pain, but no matter how bad he got, Cole always smiled making him my hero,” say Ron on Cole’s treatments. Cole has officially finished his last chemo treatment on May 8, 2011 and the family hopes for no relapse. To learn more about Cole’s journey visit Cole’s website at www.caringbridge.org/visit/chunn.

Every weekend All American Speedway attracts the racers from near and far looking to feed their craving for motorsports. With that comes an inner working of family and support. Ron Chunn and C & H Racing is the culmination of families that hold the love for racing and their family. Look for the sky blue No. 44 Late Model as Chunn drives to a win for his Hero and his son, Colton Chunn.

Roseville, CA - (August 5, 2010) - The name Poppert is well known around All American Speedway. First, there was Bernard Poppert who didn’t race, but had three sons, Richard, Terry and Jim, who did and he supported their racing wholeheartedly.

Richard Poppert Sr., who is currently the pit steward and Director of Competition Frank Vincent’s right-hand man, is a former driver who first started racing Quarter Midgets in West Covina, Hardtops at West Capitol Speedway, and Sportsman and Late Models at AAS. His brother Terry raced also raced Quarter Midgets in West Covina, and Bombers and Street Stocks at AAS. Brother Jim competed in some Enduro races and pitted for his brothers.

Poppert Sr.’s son, Richard Jr., was born and raised in Carmichael. In fact, when his mom went into labor on the night he was born, she told Poppert Sr. to go ahead and race. She was sure he would have time to race and get to the hospital before she gave birth, since she was in labor for 20 hours with his older sister. Instead, she was only in labor for two hours and his father missed his birth.

As Richard Jr. grew up, he started hanging around his father’s pit at All American Speedway. He helped some, and said over the 10 years he did that, he learned a lot. He did a two-year stint in the army, came back home, and started working for Hewlett Packard.

Richard Jr. and his roommate built Richard Jr.’s first racecar. He said he learned from a grass roots perspective by rebuilding the car himself.

“No one gave me a car,” he said.

His dad helped some, but mostly he did it on his own, and sometimes that meant learning the hard way.

Richard Jr. started racing a Street Stock at AAS in 1999. He moved to the Modified division in 2005 and raced there through 2007. He liked racing Modifieds because they are faster than Street Stocks and Bombers. He said he had a blast racing them, and won a few Trophy Dashes along the way.

When the economy turned, he went back to racing Street Stocks. He borrowed another racer’s car in 2008 and raced it for six weeks. He built another Street Stock for 2009, but wrecked it in the first race and that ended his season. For the rest of 2009 he pitted for Modified driver Luke Kaper.

This year Richard Jr. built another Street Stock car and has raced it in the last five Street Stock races at AAS. So far, he has earned a win, two runner-up positions; a fourth and a sixth place finish.

“We are still trying to get the car dialed in,” Richard Jr. said.

He loves the competition and the camaraderie in the sport.

“It’s like a big family. Even with folks you have words with, most everyone has a desire to leave that in the past,” he said. “You’ll always have personality conflicts, but for most of us, we are just trying to have fun.”

Richard Jr.’s brother Jason races a Bomber car and won the AAS Bomber championship in 2009. This year Jason shares driving duties with Randy Owens in the No. 71 Street Stock.

Broken parts frustrate Richard Jr. the most.

“You can’t always control broken parts. You can plan and check all you want, but parts still break.”

He said five years ago when he broke a part he would call people and go crazy in the pits looking for parts. Now he doesn’t stress.

“There are two schools of thought,” he said. “You can either thrash around the pits looking for parts, or you can relax and wait, and get back out the next week.”

He prefers to do the latter.

When his grandfather Bernard was alive (he passed away in 2002), Richard Jr. said he loved having him in his pit at the track.

“He was always involved in my racing. We had a lot of fun, and he helped me a great deal,” he said.

Even though Bernard did not race, he supported his sons’ and his grandson’s racing. He built engines and did everything he could to support them. Grandmother Lucille, Bernard’s widow, hardly ever misses a race.

Richard Jr. says he loves having his dad at the track and wishes his dad could pit for him, but realizes his dad has a job to do during the races.

“My dad cares about the track so much,” Richard Jr. said.

Richard Jr. hopes to run for the Street Stock championship next year. He said he couldn’t race without sponsorship from DBI Beverage and Coors Light. He also said his wife is very understanding about his racing “hobby.” His Uncle Jim, Jim’s girlfriend Sissy, and her son Jesse and daughter Simone all help in the pits.

“Without them, I wouldn’t be racing,” he said.

All American Speedway Will Honor Race Moms

By Jeannie Broussal
Roseville, CA - (October 26, 2009) - The competition has always been tough at All American Speedway in Roseville. On any given Saturday night you'll find some of the best drivers on the West Coast competing on the .333 mile asphalt oval.

This was proven last week when five drivers who have previously raced regularly at AAS were chosen to compete for the four 2010 NASCAR Drive for Diversity Camping World rides after the D4D Testing and Evaluation Combine in Charlotte, North Carolina and Motor Mile Speedway in Virginia, October 16-20.

2008 NASCAR Whelen All-American Late Model champion at All American Speedway Paulie Harraka is at the top of the list.

Harraka has raced in the D4D program for the past three years for Bill McAnally Racing. In 2007 he won Rookie-of-the-Year honors and finished second in the Late Model division at AAS. in 2008 he upped his game by winning 11 races and was the 2008 NASCAR Whelen All American Series Late Model champion at AAS, the first NASCAR championship for a D4D driver.

Harraka went on to race in the NASCAR Camping World West Series for BMR this past year where he became the first ever D4D driver to win a Camping World Series race. His victory came August 15 at the NAPA/Toyota 150 at Colorado National Speedway. Then in stunning fashion, he won his second race on September 26 at All American Speedway.

"There was a talented group of drivers from All American Speedway at the Combine," Harraka said. "We raced door-to-door in Legends cars and it was a blast. We raced Late Models and CWS cars too. It was a hectic week."

Harraka said he has been very lucky to have raced for McAnally because he's always gotten good cars that he could win races in. He also said not everyone has been so lucky, and with the new D4D cars all coming out of the same shop next year, it may produce a more equal playing field.

Jessica Brunelli, who competed in the Modified Division at AAS this past year, also made the cut. Brunelli had 10 top-5 and 13 top-10 finishes this year. She also raced her first Late Model race in August at AAS. Brunelli is a well-rounded driver who finished sixth in points in USAC Ford Focus in 2008.

"The combine was not like I expected," said 16-year old Brunelli. "You hear about it, but you don't really know what its like till you get there. I was really glad to be able to drive all the different types of cars. There was definitely a large amount of talent at the Combine."

"I am very happy to have been selected. To see all the familiar faces that I've been driving against at AAS and who are some of the best NASCAR drivers was comforting."

Juan Pitta earned his second consecutive D4D spot this year, after having raced Late Models for BMR this year at AAS. Pitta had one win and 12 top-5 finishes this season.

"All the driver's invited to the combine this year were first class," Pitta said. "I hope to move forward with the D4D program and follow my dream to race at the top levels of NASCAR."

Also on the list is Mackena Bell, another returning D4D driver. Bell raced this past season at Toyota Speedway in Irwindale for Position One Motorsports. She finished eighth in the points standings with 1 top-5 and 10 top-10 finishes.  Bell raced the 2008 season in Late Models at AAS fielding her own car with Mackena Bell Motorsports.

"It was great going to the Combine this year and seeing all the drivers from AAS," Bell said. "We have all worked very hard to get to this point and we west coasters are making a statement."

Last, but not least is Katie Hagar. Hagar raced as a D4D driver in a Late Model for Golden State Racing this year at Madera Speedway and Stockton 99 Speedway. Hagar holds the track record for Late Models at Stockton 99. In 2008 she raced in the D4D program for BMR in the Late Model division at AAS.

"I am truly blessed to be apart of the Diversity program and Revolution Racing for next year," Hagar said. "It's extraordinary to have an opportunity like this."

"After moving 3,000 miles, I can honestly say that I have learned a lot about different aspects of racing while being in California, and I can take that with me wherever I go, in whatever I do."

30 drivers were selected to participate in the D4D Testing and Evaluation Combine presented by Sunoco. From there, 10 were chosen to compete for four NASCAR Camping World rides.

The D4D program gives minority and female drivers opportunities to advance their racing careers, has undergone some major changes for 2010. The drivers will all relocate to Charlotte, NC and participate in an academy-style living arrangements. The 909 Group, which took over operations for D4D in 2009, will own and operate all 10 teams under the Revolution Racing banner.

“We spent most of the season thinking about ways to expand opportunities available to the drivers and crew members involved in Drive for Diversity,” said Max Siegel, Chief Executive Officer of The 909 Group, which manages the Drive for Diversity program. 

“To better assess and develop talent, we are putting the drivers under one roof and in identical cars for 2010. This new standardized structure will also create more meaningful sponsorship opportunities that will in turn provide resources necessary to compete at the highest level with the goal of getting drivers to NASCAR’s premier series.”

A television series called "Changing Lanes", that chronicles the D4D drivers beginning with their time spent at the Combine will air in early 2010 on BET.

To have five out of ten drivers who made the D4D cut come from All American Speedway is a testament to the caliber of drivers and the racing the Speedway attracts.

Saturday started off in the right direction as each driver posted consistent lap times in practice. For qualifying, Jay Linstroth of Citrus Heights nearly missed pole position by .035 seconds. Sheldon Didinger of Boyertown, PA landed his best qualifying position in fourth after spending all week preparing a brand new Duck Commander machine. Jason Bamberg was fifth and Michael Mitchell settled as tenth fastest.

In the 40 lap main event the division drew a four car invert placing Didinger on pole to lead the field to the green flag. Didinger held the inside position battling side by side for the lead till he was passed on the outside. As soon as Sheldon got passed for the lead he found himself sandwiched in a three wide pass with his teammate Linstroth on the inside and a competitor on the outside. In result of the three wide pass, Didinger fell back to fifth as Bamberg followed Linstroth through for fourth. At the ten lap mark, Linstroth had ran down the top two drivers and was giving second place driver tap announcements. Linstroth was able to make the pass for second by lap 14. Lap 17 a caution was thrown which played in favor for both Linstroth and Bamberg. Linstroth powered to the front on the restart from the outside and Bamberg followed him through for second. As soon as the JBR drivers were one-two they worked together to extend the lead over the rest of the field. In the closing laps, Sheldon was battling hard for fourth and went to make his move on the inside of third and the two cars collided which spun Didinger. Tough run for Didinger as he had to restart at the rear of the pack with four laps remaining. On the last lap, Bamberg really wanted his shot at the win when he dove to the inside of Linstroth in turn three and the duo traded rubber which washed Jay up high in four and Bamberg snatched his first 2013 Modified victory. Linstroth finished second, Michael Mitchell stayed out of trouble and finished a solid ninth. Didinger ran out of laps to end the race in tenth.

"After the yellow with five to go, my tires cooled off and the handling came back. I had to try to give it a go, so I set up the pass coming out of turn two, then just hoped it would stick in three and four. I made a little more contact than I planned with Linstroth, but he was a good sport about it." Stated Jason Bamberg.

"Mission 4 Complete! Evenly prepared team JBR cars were able to make their way to the front. Stretching out a nice lead and were able to race among themselves for the finish. We could not have dreamed up that finish any better than that. Really proud of Team JBR's driver Jason Bamberg and Jay Linstroth and crew." Stated Linstroth's and Bamberg's Crew Chief Dan McCarthy

SCRIBNER MOTORSPORTS OPENS SEASON WITH A WIN

Loomis, CA - (April 16, 2013) - Last Saturday night was the season opener for All American Speedway and Chris Scribner was ready to grab a win. Last year, Scribner never got his Quick Quack Car Wash No. 5 Impala in victory lane at the speedway however he landed a few top qualifiers and numerous top five finishes to finish out the season in strong in second place points. Outside of All American Speedway, Scribner raced the Tri Holiday Classic Series at Stockton 99 Speedway and collected a win and the championship.

Heading into opening night, Scribner had his car dialed in and ready to go for the first race as he was fast right out of the box Saturday. Scribner posted fastest lap in qualifying around the quarter mile oval with a time of 14.144 seconds.

An invert was drawn for the 60 lap main event placing Chris in a hard position to work through the field. Scribner started on the outside and fell back to nine on the start. Scribner slowly worked his way through the field and found himself in third by lap 30. A caution flew which brought the field together again and Chris was able to challenge the leader. On the restart Scribner jumped into the second position and fell in line behind the leader. Chris began to pace the leader to study his lines so Chris would know when and where to make his move for the lead. Another caution was thrown which set Chris on the outside front row. Scribner battled side by side with the leader and stole the top spot after the first lap. As laps wound down Scribner received heavy pressure from the second place car receiving contact in every turn. Scribner couldn't be shook as he held strong to win the All American Speedway Opener victory.

Scribner Motorsports will be back in the saddle Saturday at All American Speedway for Fan Appreciation Night. Be sure to stop by and grab your autograph as well as take a photo with both Chris Scribner and Quackals the Duck.

SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA (October 11, 2012) – When the NASCAR K&N Pro Series, West returns to All American Speedway in Roseville on Saturday night, it will serve as a homecoming for Sacramento's 17 year-old series rookie Dylan Hutchison.  Hutchison earned his stripes on the one-third mile oval racing in Mini Cups, Baby Grands, and NASCAR Late Models, earning the 2011 NASCAR Late Model Rookie of the Year award at the venue.

Driving the #5 Bay Bio Diesel / Johnnie Walker Performance Chevrolet for Jack Sellers Racing, with veteran John Krebs on the wrenches, Hutchison also is returning to the track and event where he made his series debut last year.  Hutchison turned heads with a ninth place qualifying effort last October in theToyota / NAPA Auto Parts 150.

"Our whole team has high expectations for this race not only because it is our home track but also because this will be my first time returning to a track where I have previous K&N experience," Hutchison said.  "We made the right improvements during our test session and we should be really competitive this weekend."

Saturday's events will see Hutchison flying a fresh paint scheme and also carrying additional support from racing apparel company Nitro Fish.  Race fans can meet Hutchison at the Nitro Fish booth and check out their new stock car apparel line.  Hutchison will also have special guest Steve Price, founding drummer of famed touring rock act Pablo Cruise, in the pits to show support for the young racer.

The 2012 NASCAR K&N West campaign has been an up-and-down season but has been a great learning experience for the young driver.  A stretch of 11th, ninth, and eighth place finishes through May and June has been the season highlight thus far.  The ninth place finish at Brainerd International Raceway inMinnesota was even more impressive as it was Hutchison's second career road course start.

Hutchison's most competitive run of the 2012 season was his eighth place run at the Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in June, where he ran near the top-five for most of the race.  Hutchison is hopeful that short track success will translate to Roseville.

"We're really hoping for a top-five finish especially with how close we were at Vegas," Hutchison said.  "We hope a good finish at Roseville can give us good momentum going into next season as well!"

Following the 150 lap race at Roseville, the NASCAR K&N Pro Series, West will hit the road for the series finale on the one-mile Phoenix International Raceway during the NASCAR Sprint Cup weekend there in November. 

Race fans can follow Saturday's action live on NASCARHomeTracks.com Lap-by-Lap coverage or through Near Live coverage available onRacingWest.com and StevenBlakesley.com  The highly popular race is expected to sell out and ticket information is available through promoter Bill McAnally Racing.

PINE GROVE, CALIFORNIA (July 18, 2012) – 2011 Motorsports Press Association Driver of the Year Matt Scott is on the verge of a record-breaking NASCAR Late Model campaign as he leads the track points standings at both Stockton 99 Speedway and All American Speedway.  Scott took over the lead at Stockton 99 after winning his 24th career Late Model race on Saturday night in a thrilling night of twin 50 lap races.

Scott is a two-time defending All American Speedway Late Model champion driving a family-owned #35 Kamps Propane-sponsored Chevrolet.  The former Legends car standout driver has made a huge impression on the Northern California Late Model scene over the past few seasons, highlighted by his 2010 and 2011 championships at Roseville.

He came out of the gate swinging at Stockton by winning a hard fought race on April 21 against former track champion Jeff Belletto.  After that incredible side-by-side duel, Scott and Belletto have continued a back-and-forth season at the speedway highlighted by the events on Saturday night.

"This (battling) is going to be every weekend I can just tell...the racing out here is so intense," Scott said.  "We have a little bump and grinding going on but we're not wrecking too many cars.  Man this points race is getting closer and closer and it's just going to be right down the end."

Scott and Belletto split the twin 50s with Belletto getting the best of Scott in the first 50 lap contest after they raced side-by-side for numerous laps.  Scott answered back from a fifth place starting position in the second 50 lap race to get his fifth win of the 2012 season.  Scott took the lead from July 7thRoseville winner Mindy McCord just past the halfway point of the race to take the win.

"I can't thank my crew enough," Scott said.  "They do a great job.  I knew the outside was going to be my preferred line so I was happy she picked the bottom on the restart."

The 2012 season at Stockton 99 Speedway has been Scott's first full-season at the tough quarter-mile paved oval in Stockton, CA.  His only previous start at the track came in May 2010 where Scott left with a battered race car but with hopes of redemption.

At All American Speedway in Roseville, CA, Scott has picked up where he left off from the last two years, with two wins, two fast-times, and three runner-up finishes as well.  All told, Scott has picked up a remarkable 14 top-fives in 17 starts with a perfect 17 top-tens as well.

Scott's success in 2012 has also kept him in the hunt for the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Division III Asphalt championship as well.  Scott is currently second in the points at press time.

For the all success that Scott has experienced so far in his Late Model career, the young driver originally from Pine Grove, CA hopes to move into the NASCAR K&N Pro Series or SRL Southwest Tour by the end of the season.

"Every race we run is important because you never know who is watching," Scott said.  "My family has done so much for me to get me to this point but we need some help to keep my career moving forward.  I can't thank my sponsors enough including Kamps Propane for all they have done for me!"

Matt Scott Racing thanks Kamps Propane, Axcel Sports, CatchYourEye.com, Blakesley Sports Media, Halm Metal Fab, Hobbs Construction, Pardee Lake Recreation, Red Corral Auto, and T.A.S. Construction for their support and would welcome additional interested sponsors to contact Steven Blakesley of Blakesley Sports Media at (916) 509-7049.

RSWC ROOKIE KRZYSIK SCORES CAREER BEST NASCAR LATE MODEL FINISH

GRANDE PRAIRIE, ALBERTA (July 19, 2011) – 20 year-old Jamie Krzysik continued his rapid development during his rookie season in NASCAR Late Models, picking up a career-best second place finish on Saturday night at All American Speedway in Roseville, Calif.  The Ron Sutton’s Winner’s Circle development driver earned the finish in just his fourth career NASCAR start.

Krzysik, driving the #16 Isley Group Chevrolet for Bill McAnally Racing, qualified second fastest to open up the weekend.  Krzysik’s lap of 13.822 seconds was his fastest yet at the one-third mile speedway and just .044 seconds off of fast-time qualifier Matt Scott.

A five car invert placed Krzysik fourth on the grid for the 75 lap feature event.  The 2010 IMCA Modified Canada National champion navigated traffic well.  Krzysik lost a back-and-forth battle with Scott but passed Juan Pitta to move back into fourth.

Close and competitive racing saw Krzysik maneuver into second on lap 16 before running his fastest lap of the race on lap 21.  Krzysik settled in for the remainder of the race which went without a caution until late in the event.  The late restart saw the leader get a slight jump on Krzysik, effectively ending chances at a possible win.

Krzysik fended off the points leader to bring home the second place finish and his career-best mark in the highly competitive NASCAR Late Models.

“Jamie used great patient and skill to finish second on Saturday,” Driver Coach Ron Sutton said.  “Challenging for the win in his fourth start is a sign of his great talent and potential as a driver!”

By Kristin Scribner, RMG Race Media Group

Roseville, CA - (June 15, 2011) - ll American Speedway will be celebrating Father’s Day this Saturday night June 18^th by presenting each father in the stands and in the pits with a special sweet treat. All American Speedway will also be raffling off a Grill Box donated by Roseville Meat Company to one lucky dad. The mouth watering Grill Box will include 28-30 pounds of variety of Ribs, Tri Tip, Sausage, Steaks, Ground Chuck Patties, Chicken and Alpine Hot Dogs.

All American Speedway track fathers are different then the track moms by being physically involved and more hands on in the sport of racing. Fathers are not only a father but are Car Owners, Crew Chiefs, Mechanics, Spotters, Financial Support and of course a fan to their driver. Some fathers have an extensive racing background and their kids grew up around racing and today are racers at All American Speedway. Some fathers never had a history of racing and their kids stumbled upon the sport of racing and were hooked on the thrill of racing. Racing is a family affair and All American Speedway attracts lots of family oriented teams at the speedway.

Dave Gonzales father of Street Stock driver No. 98 Byron Gonzales carries multiple titles for the team. Dave’s titles are Car Owner, Crew Chief, Financial Support and a dad for Byron’s racing career. “It just started that way in 1998 when Byron started racing and it seems to work very well for our team,” says Dave on his multiple roles for the team. Mr. Gonzales never raced before except one race in which he didn’t transfer out of the B main. “I enjoy racing very much, maybe obsessed but I have enjoyed the thrill of success. I love the challenge in racing and like to do things on a different style than other racers by racing a different type of car a camaro,” says Dave on his love for the sport of racing. The best father’s day gift from Byron would be a main event win or he would be happy with another good finish. This year Byron has been close to winning his first 2011 victory and has proved solid top finishes leaving him third in points. “Byron is a very patient driver and he shows a lot of respect to other drivers in his division. We work very well together and we are a true team,” says Dave on working with his son.

A father who has been involved in the sport of racing at All American Speedway for a long time has stepped back this year to be with his son and take a break from racing to recover a non racing surgery is Harry Lambert. Harry’s son races the No. 50 Street Stock machine Chris Lambert. Harry’s role on his son’s race team is support, Mechanic and a father to Chris. “I help support the team in any way I can from working on my son’s car at home or at the race track. I also give my son all the moral support he needs,” says Harry on his role for his son’s team. “The best father’s day gift would be to spend the day with my son and to capture another win,” says Harry as the best father’s day gift to receive. Harry not only has been racing at All American Speedway for over a decade but has been the track Chaplin for the last five years. “What I like about racing is entertaining the great fans at All American Speedway along with the constant real rush of racing fender to fender and bumper to bumper with other drivers in the street stock division. That is something you cannot buy, you can only get it by driving the race car. I Love Racing!” says Harry on his love for the sport of racing.

A father who has been involved in the racing industry from forming a motorsports business to racing for over 30 years is now heavily involved in his son’s career in racing is Rick Scribner. Rick Scribner formed a well known plastic business in the racing industry supplying utility jugs, funnels, engine containers, transmission containers for the racers. Rick’s son races the No. 5 NASCAR Late Model machine Chris Scribner. “I bring a lot of knowledge to my son’s race team. I’ve raced dirt sprint cars to go karts to NASCAR Winston Cup Series,” says Rick on his experience in racing. Rick’s role for his son’s race team is a Mechanic, Spotter, Supporter, Assistant Crew Chief, Team Principle and being a dad to Chris. “The best father’s day gift from Chris would be our first Late Model win. We have worked very hard to get where we are today and Chris has proved solid finishes,” says Rick on the team’s hard work. “I love the mechanical challenges of all race cars as well as the lap by lap competition,” says Rick on his love for the sport of racing.

ALL AMERICAN SPEEDWAY FINISHES SEASON WITH A SMASH

ROSEVILLE, CA. (October 26, 2011) - The All American Speedway will hold their last race event of the 2011 season with a smashing good time. The annual Pumpkin Smash Enduro, October 29, features hundreds of pumpkins lining the NASCAR oval track, waiting for the fans to storm the track and smash them to smithereens.  The 200-lap Enduro race which ensues on the slippery slimy track is best described as a destruction derby on a race track.

While the Enduro is a fun way to end the season at the Speedway, the serious business of NASCAR points racing has come to an end for 2011. While the Speedway faced challenges with noise restriction enforcement and the economic woes that have befallen local race teams, all the NASCAR championship points races were held with a field of cars in all divisions. 

Points racing finished in September with Matt Scott taking the first place honors in the Late Models, Dan Jinkerson in Modifieds, Mickey Owens in Street Stocks, and Chris Paulson in the Bomber Division.  The Speedway also hosted races sanctioned by the SRL Series, WSRA, and USAC to give fans a change of pace.  The K&N NASCAR touring series took over the track October 15 with hosted by local promoter Bill McAnally Racing. The champions will be honored at the annual Speedway Banquet on November 19, 2011. 

Throughout the season the Speedway management has been addressing issues relating to reducing the noise experienced by neighbors.  Enforcement of the sound standards was more strictly monitored, special mufflers were required, new directionally-oriented speakers were installed in the grandstaands, and weekly races ended by 10:00 p.m.  Placer County Supervisor Jack Duran held a public meeting to address concerns by both the neighbors and the racing community, which was attended by about 200 people.  The second phase of a new independent sound study is currently in progress.

With the off-season here, race teams are regrouping to plan for 2012.  The Pumpkin Smash Enduro will feature exciting racing, Halloween fun for the kids with a costume contest, and a smashing finale to the 2011 race season at All American Speedway! Tickets can be purchased in the Placer County Fair office or at the gate October 29. For directions and complete list of race results visit AllAmericanSpeedway.com

YOUNG CAMERON HAYLEY IS SET TO PILOT THE NO. 24 CABINETS BY HAYLEY TOYOTA AT AAS

Antelope, CA - (October 6, 2011) - Cameron Hayley, driver of the No. 24 Cabinets by Hayley Toyota Camry for Bill McAnally Racing is looking forward to racing at BMR’s home track, All American Speedway in Roseville, California. Cameron, one of youngest drivers in the field at just 15 years old, will take the green in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West race, the Toyota/NAPA Auto Parts 150 presented by Pick-n-Pull on October 15th.

All American is BMR's home track. How exciting will it be to show your skills before a crowd that is so excited to see you race? 

“I am very excited to go to Roseville for that very reason,” said Hayley. “Being its BMR¹s home track, I am sure Bill and the whole team from BMR will be promoting the race as much as they can and the BMR teams will definitely get some very good exposure. I am very much excited for the race and hope to run well in front of BMR¹s home town crowd.”

You drove a Late Model at All American last season. What will it be like jumping into the heavier car for the West race? How different will it be for you?

“I actually don¹t feel like it will affect how I drive the West car at all. As you know we were down testing at Roseville back in August and to be honest I felt totally comfortable in the West car. I couldn¹t really remember the feeling of the late model and the West car just felt natural. I think going into the weekend we will have very little issue adjusting to the heavier car and should run fast.”

Hayley secured the 2011 championship and made history in the process with podium finish at the final race of the season in the Dakota Dunes Late Model Series championship race held at Auto Clearing Speedway. The Canadian phenom is the youngest to achieve that distinction in either the Pacific Northwest or Western Canada.

Hayley added to the Dakota Dunes title with the 2011 Rookie of the Year honor at Montana Raceway Park giving the teen prestigious awards on both sides of the international border. He made his NASCAR K&N Series debut at Montana Raceway Park in August where he finished in second.

Your team and you seem to be jelling pretty well. Tell us about your West team? How is the communication?

“Ever since the first test day, Rob Dixon and I have been getting along extremely well. There was just always that sense of a true team around him mixed with the light hearted spirit he brings to the team. Every crewmember brings positive energy to the track with them each and every time they are here and I have had a great time with all of them and am honored to have them crewing for me. Rob and the team from BMR have given me great cars and I will see what I can do with them at the final two races.”

What is it like to have two veterans as teammates?

“I think it is a huge benefit to have Eric Holmes and Moses Smith as team mates. They give me someone to talk to about things on and off the race track that I am unclear about. They are always open to questions and are willing to answer them. But we all know when we go out on the track, they still race me like any other driver and I wouldn’t want it any other way.”

The Toyota/NAPA AUTO PARTS “150” presented by Pick-n-Pull will be the featured race event at All American Speedway in Roseville, California on October 15th, 2011. The track in located just outside of Sacramento at the Placer County Fairgrounds in Roseville. The event has sold out when the NASCAR K&N Series West has made previous visits to Northern California.

TOP ROOKIE COTE FINISHES SECOND IN 2011 NASCAR MODIFIED CHAMPIONSHIP

RUNYAN ENDS NASCAR ROOKIE SEASON FOURTH IN CHAMPIONSHIP

Roseville, CA - (September 21, 2011) – Ron Sutton’s Winner’s Circle standout Bobby Runyan, Jr., 18, finished sixth in Saturday night’s feature for the NASCAR Modifieds at All American Speedway allowing him to finish fourth in the standings as the second highest rookie driver behind RSWC teammate Steve Cote.

A multi-time USAC Ford Focus Midget series winner in 2010 and SCCA Formula Ford champion in 2009, Runyan drove the #21 K&N Filters Modified to several strong finishes in 2011.  The rookie was able to put together a great rookie season with one main event , two trophy dash and several heat race wins. But it was his consistency over the summer that allowed him to work his way up to up fourth in the standings.

Runyan and Cote both were involved in the development of the newly designed RaceCar Factory Modified chassis while also trying to adapt to the open-wheel NASCAR Modified car.  Runyan scored his first NASCAR top-ten on July 2nd before clicking off an impressive six straight top-five finishes.

Runyan’s top-five bonanza in July saw him win his first feature on July 30 during a blockbuster night of racing with 26 NASCAR Modifieds in the pits.  Runyan picked up his second best finish of the season on September 10 when he came home third.

In 17 starts Runyan accumulated 12 top-ten finishes and took fourth in the points by nine points in a competitive battle between the fourth through sixth place cars all season.

On Saturday night, Runyan qualified second quick missing the pole by just .001 seconds.  Starting sixth in the 40 lap main event, Runyan worked his way up to third but was ultimately forced to settle for a sixth place finish after a wild restart.  The finish proved enough for Bobby to wrap up fourth in the championship standings however.

“Bobby had a great rookie season in the Modifieds,” Driver Coach Ron Sutton said.  “Winning a race in this division against the veteran drivers like Winters, Philpot, Jinkerson, Lindgren, and more is a huge accomplishment!”

The 2012 season plans for Bobby Runyan, Jr. are to be determined with more details to be announced at www.bobbyrunyan.com

Bobby Runyan, Jr. and Ron Sutton’s Winner’s Circle thank partners:  K&N Filters, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, Raging Bull Motorsports, Brown’s Shop Support, Scribner Plastics, Allstar Performance, Sunoco Race Fuels and Star Racing Supply.

Team Kelly Racing Living The Dream

Street Stock Driver Byron Gonzales owns three championships in three different divisions

Source RMG Race Media Group

Roseville, CA - (July 21, 2011) - 30-year-old Sacramento resident Byron Gonzales drives the No. 98 RV Doctor George Street Stock at the 1/3 mile asphalt oval All American Speedway, Roseville CA. Byron has been racing since he graduated from San Juan High School in 1998. He has no family history of racers but was just a huge fan of Saturday night racing at All American Speedway. Byron and his dad Dave would attend Saturday night races and bet quarters with each other on who was going to win. As the love for the sport grew the two of them started buying pit passes to lend a hand with some teams in the pits. As they learned how race cars work and the different types of divisions, Byron bought a race-ready Street Stock to introduce to the Speedway as a new driver. Since then Byron has captured three Championships at All American Speedway; 2001 Street Stock Champion, 2003 Pro Stock Champion and 2005 Inaugural West Car Late Model Champion. 

Within his three years of racing in the Street Stock division Byron has captured over a dozen main event wins and 15 fast qualifiers. Byron also won a few trophy dash wins and has come within two one-thousandths of the track record in 2001. Posting a fast time of 14.31 seconds when the track record was 14.29 seconds.  

In 2002 Byron sold his Street Stock and bought a Pro Stock to race for the 2002 season at All American Speedway. Within two years racing the Pro Stock division Byron captured the 2003 track championship. Byron posted four main event wins and nine fast qualifiers along with six trophy dash victories. In 2004 All American Speedway terminated the Pro Stock division half way through the season leaving Byron and his team to experience traveling to other tracks that had the Pro Stock division. 

“Everyone likes to win and I'm no exception. However, more than winning I love to race. Whether it be for the win or for 10th I love a good clean and competitive battle with someone about as fast as I am. I love any kind of head-to-head competition,” stated Byron.

In 2005 Byron sold his Pro Stock car since he wanted to support racing at All American Speedway and picked up a Late Model to compete for the inaugural West Car Late Model Championship. In the first year Byron captured the 2005 West Car Late Model Championship. In Byron’s second year in the Late Model division he finished sixth in the championship points. Within the two years in the Late Model division not only did Byron received the first championship but won two main event wins and three trophy dash victories. 

The team took a hiatus from racing in 2007 and 2008 due to budget and time, as the time went by without being in the driver seat Byron had the itch to get back into racing. In 2009 Byron brought out his stored Late Model and returned to All American Speedway to contest in the last six races. 

In 2010 the team bought back his old championship Street Stock and brought it out for the last four races of the 2010 season. Today the team is campaigning a full season in the All American Speedway Street Stock division looking for solid finishes and hopes to add another championship under his belt.  The team’s 2011 racing goals are to run for the 2011 championship but are not consumed by it. Their weekly goals are first to have fun and second improve. “If you're having fun and working to improve the wins and championships will come,” says Byron. The team made little to no changes in the off season leading up to the 2011 season however, during the season the team made some suspension modifications and straightened the frame which was bent in a large crash in 2003 by the previous owner. The team looks to overcome the tight operating budget. 

Byron’s team consists of his father Dave, wife Shannon, mom Mary, friends Richard Trundy and Ron Ricketts. Dave Gonzales plays a few different roles for the team; he is the car owner, crew chief, set up specialist, head mechanic and back up driver. Shannon Gonzales is Byron’s safety support, tire manager and general pit support. Mary Gonzales is the team’s video support and web master. Richard is the engine and general maintenance support and general pit support. Ron is an extra helping hand for the team. Very important is Byron’s racing mentor, Hurricane Howard. Hurricane Howard is one of the most significant drivers in Byron’s racing career. Hurricane Howard is always positive and respectful while perpetually pushing the limits of convention, his racecar and his abilities. Howard is a pillar of sportsmanship and competitiveness. He has taught Byron how to appreciate racing as a philosophy. “Each time before I get on the track, in the few moments I have alone, I take the advice of a great racing mentor, Hurricane Howard, and I envision myself on the track and imagine myself hitting my marks. It helps me get focused for the task at hand,” explains Byron.

“The street stock division has a lot of camaraderie and respect. There are a lot of great drivers who are here for the same reason we are, to race,” stated Byron on racing his Street Stock. “At the very least racing is fun. It is a game of strategy and performance. It’s a physical and mental workout. What I love most is the opportunity to challenge myself to better my last performance and all the time maintain certain values and standards.”
