Sacramento’s Austin Wood led Restricted qualifying before heat races were won by Visalia’s Jett Barnes and Isabel Barnes. Isabel lined up on the pole for the 25-lap feature which paid $300-to-win. She never relinquished the top position on the way to the victory with Jett Barnes advancing from seventh position to finish second. Teagan Moles of Raisin City ran third followed by Andrew Smith of Castro Valley and Quinn Thurein of Tucson, Ariz.

In the Super 600 title fight, Caeden Steele’s win on Saturday night propels him to third in the championship. Medford, Oregon’s Austin Torgerson led the 25-car field in qualifying before heat races were split by Steele, Sarale, and Grass Valley’s Izaak Sharp. Friday winner of the 2021 Clay Cup Nationals Dominic Gorden of Clovis won the 12-lap B-Main. Steele started on the outside pole alongside Gauge Garcia of Lemoore. Garcia led the first 17-laps before Steele took over on lap 18. Madera’s Logan Trevino then passed Garcia for second on lap 21. Steele, Trevino, Garcia, seventh-starting Sarale, and Alex Panella of Stockton were the top-five finishers.

Sarale extended his Non-Wing points lead with the $500 triumph in that division. Oregon’s Ashton Torgerson topped a strong 30-car entry in qualifying. Three heat races were held with victories for Jeffrey Pahule of Brentwood, French Camp’s Sage Bordenave, and Pleasant Hill’s Colin Kirby. Cody Gray won the 12-lap B-Main.

Valley Springs’s Dan Mognaga had the pole position but Sarale quickly moved forward from fifth on the grid. Sarale grabbed the lead on lap seven. Torgerson took over second two laps later. Sarale paced Torgerson, Mognaga, Tracy’s Brandon Riveira, and Austin Torgerson as the top-five finishers.

Oakdale’s Hayden Stepps won the $200 Jr. Sprints feature in a 20-lap contest. Heat races went to Josiah Vega, points leader Brody Rubio, Jackson Tardiff, and Levi Osborne. Stepps started second but seized the lead from the start. Jace Thurein from Tucson, Ariz. finished second followed by Vega, Osborne, and Rubio. Stepps’ second win of the year moves her within 53-points of Rubio in the championship.
