All told more than $21,000 is up for grabs after two nights of action on the 1/7th mile dirt track at the San Joaquin County Fairgrounds.

Pit gates open at noon with the driver’s meeting at 4:30pm nightly. Hot laps will follow. Spectator gates open at 5pm each night. General Admission tickets are just $10 daily for adults while juniors ages 6-12, seniors, and military are $5, and kids 5 & under are FREE! Car and driver entry is $140 for the weekend. Pit passes are $30 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.

Friday’s action features two heat races for each driver with a pill draw setting the lineups. Points will be awarded in both heat races with both finishing points and passing points awarded. Points will determine the lineup for the knockout races and features. All five divisions will run knockout races to set the grid for Saturday’s championship finale.

Saturday’s lower mains are lined up by points accumulated as well. Following Saturday’s features action, fans will be treated to a special 20-lap mechanics race.

Southern drivers swept the featured three classes in the 2024 Turkey Bowl, with Bakersfield’s Jett Yantis scoring in the 40-lap Super 600 feature, Visalia’s Jett Barnes taking the 40-lap Non-Wing victory, and Hanford’s Dalton Parreira winning the 35-lap A-Class feature.

Nikko Panella of Stockton just completed an arduous sweep of the Super 600 and Non-Wing track championships, adding to his legacy at the dirt track. Nikko and his brother Alex have a combined six Turkey Bowl triumphs on their resumes as well. Stockton’s Caden Sarale has also highlighted Turkey Bowl history with six wins of his own. Delta Speedway regulars look to wrestle the big victories away on home turf in 2025.

The Mauldin family has scored at least four times according to available records, including two triumphs for Scott Mauldin before his kids Maya and Lucas each won a Jr. Sprints Turkey Bowl in their careers.
