LUCKY ROUND SEVEN ON TAP FOR THE DIRT RACERS OF DELTA SPEEDWAY

STOCKTON, CALIFORNIA (August 11, 2026) – Beautiful weather and dirt track slinging thrills are on offer during the lucky round seven of the 2026 Delta Speedway season this Saturday in Stockton. The San Joaquin County Fairgrounds dirt track has enjoyed an exciting season of racing for the Super 600, Non-Wing, A-Class, Restricted, and Jr. Sprints all summer long.

The drivers meeting is set for 4:30pm on Saturday with hot laps to follow. Spectator gates open at 5pm. General Admission tickets are just $10 for adults while juniors ages 6-12, seniors, and military are $5, and kids 5 & under are FREE! Pit passes are $25.

Fans who cannot attend the action in person can view flag-to-flag coverage on Fast Four Media, the speedway’s 2026 Pay-Per-View partner.

Stockton’s Nikko Panella remains at the top of the Super 600 action for Winged racers but with a scant 14-point lead. Former champion Logan Trevino of Madera has stayed within arm’s length throughout the season. Fresno’s Raio Salmon is only 16 markers out of the lead as well. Alex Panella and Andrew Smith round out the top-five heading into Saturday’s 30-lap affair.

Panella’s cushion is larger in Non-Wing with a 27-point lead over Manteca’s TK O’Brien. O’Brien has won just once at Delta Speedway this year but has six wins in Non-Wing down south as one of the strongest drivers in the class. Young Gun Brody Rudio ranks third followed by Stockton’s Ty Carlson and Manteca’s Briggs Davis. Non-Wing also competes for 30-laps.

Levi Osborne of Tracy has a narrow four-point lead over the busy driver TK O’Brien. O’Brien is still searching for a 2026 A-Class win at Delta Speedway. Colin Kirby of Pleasant Hill has six top-ten finishes for third in the championship. Wheatland’s Cole Frerichs has a win and four top-fives in 2026 to run fourth overall. Jason Maples runs fifth in the order ahead of a 25-lap feature.

Following her victory on July 25th, Maya Mauldin of Rancho Murieta leads the Restricted championship by eight points over Haven Sherman of Citrus Heights. Bryson Sozinho of Hanford has settled into third, 24-points away from the lead. Kevin Tikkanen of Kingsburg and David Anderson of Clayton round out the top-five.

Lucas Fenn and Santino Gonella are separated by just four points in the Jr. Sprints battle as well.
