Four Deserving Winners Celebrate Victory Lane at Marysville Raceway (Top DAWG Racing Photos)

MARYSVILLE, Calif. (8/15/26) …Marysville Raceway hosted an exciting night of racing Saturday, August 15, with 57 different drivers attending tonight’s event. Four deserving drivers found their way to Victory Lane during the evening’s feature events.

KC Carpenter made history by scoring his first career main event victory in the 20-lap Crate Sprint feature. Carpenter put together a strong run to capture the win and celebrate a milestone victory at the Action Track of the West. The main event started off with a bang. Two failed attempts with one of them involving Misty Castleberry getting upside down. Once the race found a rhythm, Carpenter was up front. The Ballantine brothers raced hard for the second spot. Late in the race, Jason passed Mike and earned second. Kevin Lovell and Jacob Johnson battled the entire race for the fourth spot. In the end, Lovell finished fourth and Johnson finished fifth. Carpenter swept the entire night with his heat race one win. Castleberry ruled the second heat race.

Cole Fear was dominant in the 20-lap IMCA Sport Mod main event, leading the way and securing a convincing victory. Fear led every lap. Mike Merritt had another strong night and finished second. As always, Dan Brown Jr. hung around the top five all night and finished third. Only one yellow slowed the race. The Sport Mod drivers put on the best overall show. Fear swept the night of racing by winning heat one. Jason Clayton Jr. dominated heat two.

In the 25-lap 360 Sprint main event, Sean Becker started sixth and patiently worked his way toward the front before taking the lead on lap 17. Becker went on to score the victory, marking his second win at Marysville Raceway in the past month. Nick Larsen did a great job all night. He led the first 17 laps, and once he got passed by Becker, he stayed solid and finished second. Brad Bumgarner ran third. It was nice to see all the top three back at Marysville. All three have been limited to racing with us this season.

Adrianna DeMartini was the highlight of the evening. She secured the fastest lap in qualifying at 12.406. She finished third in the first heat race. After 25 laps she crossed the finish line in fourth. William Fielding scored the fifth-place finish. Fielding and Carson Hall were victorious in heat race competition.

The Hobby Stock finale was a wild one, with Jace Badeker returning to Victory Lane in the 20-lap feature. The race was slowed by several incidents and debris on the racing surface and was ultimately shortened to 18 laps. First start was nullified by a jump start. At one point a driver would not leave the track after being black flagged for not having on safety driving gloves. Another driver was disqualified for rough driving. It was just one of those nights. Added to the strangeness, was when race leader Kyle Cheney’s wheel broke and he came to a stop. This gave the lead back to Badeker. Surviving the madness was Howard Law, who scored a second-place finish. Ryan Smith drove up from eighth to finish third. Jacob Johnson won the first heat race by a country mile. Cheney scored the win during heat two.

Marysville Raceway Cancels August 8 Event Due to Extreme Heat

MARYSVILLE, Calif. (August 5, 2026) …Marysville Raceway officials have announced the cancellation of this Saturday night's racing program, scheduled for August 8, due to the forecast of extreme high temperatures throughout the region.

After carefully monitoring the weather forecast and considering the safety and well-being of drivers, crews, officials, fans, and staff, track management made the decision to cancel the event.

"This was not an easy decision, but the safety of everyone involved must come first," said Dennis Gage of Marysville Raceway. "With temperatures expected to reach dangerous levels, we feel it is in everyone's best interest to cancel the event rather than put our competitors, fans, and staff at risk."

The August 8 race will not be rescheduled, and the next event on the Marysville Raceway calendar will take place on August 15th as originally planned.

First Time Winner Luke Sprenkel Steals the Show

MARYSVILLE, Calif. (Aug 1, 2026) …Luke Sprenkel led all 20-laps to win his first Crate Sprint feature of his young and promising career. Sprenkel has done well in his rookie season and surrounded himself with veteran racers who are now his crew members, Mike Benson and Jimmy Trulli. Sprenkel didn’t have it easy. He held off veteran’s Jacob Johnson and Misty Castleberry to earn his first win. Sprenkel also survived numerous late cautions. His restarts were calm and cool, as he didn’t succumb to the pressure of trying to win his first race.

Billy Wallace finished fourth. David Derr Jr. moved up many spots for a fifth-place finish. Sprenkel was awarded an extra $100 courtesy of Malone Concrete Construction for the win. Castleberry won the first eight-lap heat race. Jason Ballantine cruised to the win during heat race two.

It was great to see William Fielding back in victory lane. The local standout dominated the 25-lap 360 sprint car main event. Fielding got the jump at the start and led the entire distance. Hard charging Brad Bumganer went from fourth to second. Third spot went to Carson Hall. Johnny Reeves crashed hard on lap seven. It was good to see him climb out and walk away. Dryver Dothage salvaged a tough night filled with mechanical issues to finish fourth. Qualifying was fast and furious, and Brad Bumgarner turned the fastest lap at 12.865.

The Hobby Stock 20 lap main event was fantastic, as always. There were three different leaders. Jacob Bright led the field to the green flag. He held off Howard Law early on. Law briefly took the lead on lap 11, only to see Bright pass him back. As Bright continued to lead, Kyle Cheney passed Law for second. With five laps to go, Cheney found the right groove and passed Bright. Cheney went on to win the race. Bright was second. Law ended up third. Jason Clayton is always fast and finished fourth. Jace Badeker was in the mix and finished fifth. Clayton and Badeker were winners during the two individual heat races.

The IMCA Sport Modified division continues to produce action packed racing. Three different drivers led at least one lap during the fantastic main event. Shaun Merrit led the first four laps. Mike Merritt assumed the lead on lap five. Merritt was fast up front and in control until a slower car gave him trouble. Merritt was unable to quickly pass the slower car, and it allowed Jason Clayton Jr. to close. On lap 14, Clayton Jr. made the right move and took the lead. Clayton Jr. went on to lead the final five laps. Merritt held on for second. Cole Fear did a nice job to finish third. Dan Brown Jr. endured a hot night to finish fourth. Fifth went to Phil Marino. Brown Jr. was solid in the one earlier heat race for the IMCA Sport Mods.
