Both 600cc Outlaw divisions were won by drivers from the southern half of the valley on opening night, with Fresno’s Cody Christensen and Bakersfield’s Jett Yantis soaring to $500 victories in Super 600 and Non-Wing respectively. Christensen persevered over a late-race restart to top Kingsburg’s KJ Snow, Grass Valley’s Izaak Sharp, Sacramento’s Austin Wood, and Stockton’s Nikko Panella at the finish.

Yantis led 29 consecutive laps to win the Non-Wing feature, followed by Snow, Carsen Perkins of Red Bluff, Brentwood’s Jeffrey Pahule, and Fresno’s Mattix Salmon. Both divisions will stage 30-lap features on Saturday.

2022 Restricted champ Lucas Mauldin of Rancho Murieta led all 25-laps for the $300 opening night win. Manteca’s Brody Rubio finished second followed by fast-time qualifier Nathan Ward of Bakersfield, Josiah Vega of Antioch, and Tracy’s Kyle Fernandez.

2022 Jr. Sprints champ Briggs Davis of Manteca won his 20-lap division opener in 2023 as well. Haven Sheman, Heston Stepps, Maya Mauldin, and Kyle Klagenberg followed him across the finish line.

Drivers will be searching for coveted $1,000-to-win track championships throughout the season, hoping to add their names to the illustrious list of winners and champions.
