Ten points races, the Hoosier Tire California Speedweek, and Turkey Bowl XXVI are on tap this season under the guidance of the Panella family.
Spectator gates open at 5pm on Saturday night. 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 each night.
Fans who cannot attend the action in person can view flag-to-flag coverage on Fast Four Media, the speedway’s 2025 Pay-Per-View partner. Pit gates open at 1pm with the driver’s meeting at 4:30pm on Saturday. Hot laps and qualifying will follow.
Logan Trevino of Madera, Jeffrey Pahule of Brentwood, Oakdale’s Hayden Stepps and her younger brother Heston won the 2024 track championships. Pahule led all drivers with seven victories in the Non-Wing category while Hayden scored six times during a prolific Restricted season.
Both the winged Super 600 and Non-Wing classes compete in 30-lap features throughout the 2025 season. Drivers routinely compete in both divisions and have thrived doing so, with Brandon Carey, Caden Sarale, Nikko Panella, and Austin Wood sweeping the track championships in a single season notably.
The makeup of Delta Speedway’s division line-up changes in 2025 with the addition of the stock A-Class. The winged machines utilize stock, injected engines but with the smaller A-Class wings which Restricted also utilizes. They will compete in 25-lap features this year and also join the excitement of the coveted Hoosier Tire California Speedweek as well.
Restricted returns as the starting point for drivers in their full-size Micro Sprint journeys. Restricted past champions and winners include some of the top champions in Micro Racing such as Sarale and Panella along with 2024 Super 600 champion Logan Trevino. Winged Sprint Car racers Justyn Cox, Travis Labat, Joey Ancona, and Caeden Steele started their careers as Delta Speedway champions. Restricted competes in a 25-lap feature on Saturday night.
Delta Speedway’s youngest drivers race in Jr. Sprints. The drivers compete in dual heat races in lieu of time trials along with a 20-lap feature.
