Four divisions will be on hand with the Winged 360 Sprint Cars making their return after nearly two months off, along with Pure Stocks, Mini Trucks and the Nor-Cal Dwarf Car Association. With no additional sponsorship money coming in as of press time, teams will be competing for a 50% purse during the night.

So far it has been a season of parity for the Thompson’s Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Cars, with six winners in the six events contested. The Pure Stocks and Mini Trucks have also seen a long layoff, while the Dwarf Cars have competed on two occasions at the high-banked red-clay bullring this year.

The grandstands continue to be closed for spectators and all pit area guidelines remain in place. For a refresher of the pit area guidelines visit https://www.placervillespeedway.com/covid-faqs
