Stockton’s Caden Sarale has had a sensational start to the season by leading both the Non Wing and Super 600 standings. The 15 year-old Linden High School student is a two-time Delta Speedway champion. He has one win this year in the Non Wing division during June’s Summer Sizzler. His season has been the mark of consistency with ten top-five finishes in 12 races.

The Super 600 championship is a tight one with 30 points between Sarale and 2016 champion Brandon Carey of Ripon. Chad Laughton, 2018 champion Tj Smith of Fresno, and two-time Non Wing track champion Dan Mognaga of Valley Springs make up a powerful top-five in the championship. Drivers race for 30 laps and a guarunateed $500 to win on Saturday.

Sarale’s lead in the Super 600 division is just 31 markers over 2018 runner-up Raio Salmon. Stockton’s Nikko Panella has one feature win to rank third in the championship within striking distance. Corey Day also has a victory this year ahead of Mitchel Moles. Super 600 also races for $500 to win and 30 laps.

Restricted is a wide-open affair in 2019 with no returning champions in the field. Madera’s Logan Trevino has the top spot in the standings after two early season victories, while Elk Grove’s Devon Courtnier swept both Summer Sizzler features. Courtnier is now within just 13 points of Trevino. Two-time 2019 Dixon winner and Dixon points leader Jeffrey Pahule ranks third with Lemoore points leader Jade Avedisian fourth ahead of Tracy’s Brandon Rivera. $300 is the minimum first place payout in Restricted with their main events running 25 laps.

The #55 has been the lucky number for the young racers in the Jr. Sprints. Points leader Lucas Mauldin has two victories this year while Jett Barnes has four wins in his four appearances. Kyle Fernandez, Colton Key, TK O’Brien, and Brody Rubio are the rest of the top-five in the championship. Their 20 lap feature on Saturday pays $200 to the victor.

Pit gates open at 1 p.m. with the drivers meeting at 4:30 p.m. Saturday. Hot laps begin shortly after with qualifying and racing to follow. Pit passes are just $20 with no membership required.
