RACING RETURNS TO DELTA SPEEDWAY FOR THE SUMMER SIZZLER THIS WEEKEND

STOCKTON, CALIFORNIA (June 15, 2020) – After a three-month hiatus, Delta Speedway presented by Financial Center Credit Union will finally kick off its 33rd season of Micro Sprint competition in Stockton, Calif. with the Summer Sizzler on Friday and Saturday night. Two complete points shows will open the 2020 championship racing season with Super 600, Non-Wing, Restricted, and Jr. Sprints competing. The grandstands will be closed for general admission for this event, with pit passes only being sold.

An anonymous donation helped boost the purse for this weekend’s return to racing. Super 600 and Non-Wing will race for $750 to win each night while Restricted is $450 nightly and Jr. Sprints $300 nightly, guaranteed.

All four divisions compete for $1000 to win track championships as well.

The full list of procedures and protocols is available on the speedway website at www.DeltaSpeedwayStockton.com The protocols include:

All individuals planning to attend the event must self-monitor for COVID-19 symptoms. All trucks, trailers, and personal vehicles should be actively disinfected prior to arrival. Cloth face coverings are recommended but not required. Attendees must arrive together with their cohorts. No late arrivals will be allowed. No more than ten people per race car will be allowed as well. Groups must not comingle with other participant cohorts. Electronic communication and printed handouts will be used.

Royce Farms BBQ will serve their renowned concessions in accordance with all CDC requirements. The races will be live steamed both nights by Kyler Shaw of Fast Four Media as well.

Stockton’s Caden Sarale enters 2020 with a giant target on his back after sweeping both the Super 600 and Non-Wing championships in 2019.
