• Marysville Raceway CA)Veteran Andy Forsberg had seen two potential wins at Marysville slip away this year, but Saturday night the Auburn CA driver made no mistakes and added to his career total. The 4th race in May made Marysville Raceway the busiest oval in California this year. Continued support from Speed Shift has made it possible for the quarter mile to run winged 360 sprints along with other divisions weekly. A 16 car field of 360s were led in qualifying by last year's track champion, Michael Ing, with a 13.317. A pair of heat races identified the eight drivers to participate in the redraw. The 25 lap main showed Billy Wallace and Jake Haulot on the front row. Wallace led the first 9 laps, ran into traffic, and Brad Bumgarner used a top side drive out of turn 4 to take over on lap ten. Yellows flew after lap 13 and 15 with Andy Forsberg making a pair of passes low into turn three to advance to 2nd between the slowdowns. On the restart Forsberg wasted no time in powering past Bumgarner and pulled away to score his 20th Marysville win and 183rd career victory. Following Forsberg and Bumgarner across the line were John Michael Bunch, Michael Ing and Jake Haulot....1 #92 Andy Forsberg 2 #88 Brad Bumgarner 3 #11VS John Michael Bunch 4 #21 Michael Ing 5 #7H Jake Haulot 6 #1M Billy Wallace 7 #49 Mike Monahan 8 #71L Korey Lovell 9 #01W Ben Worth 10 #81 Kevin Lovell 11 #71JR Alec Justeson 12 #00 Steel Powell 13 #21W Josh Wiesz 14 #16 Jimmy Steward 15 #15 Pat Harvey Jr. 16 #57A Lonny Alton 5/31

The two titans of Sprint Car racing waged a war of slide jobs and chance in their quest to claim the $10,000 top prize on the final night of the doubleheader event. Schatz had to throw everything his Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing #15 car could handle to deny Larson his second World of Outlaws win in a week. After 35 laps of fierce competition between Schatz and Larson and swapping the lead multiple times at the halfway point, Schatz learned there was only one final option to claim victory with a lap to go.World of Outlaws5/31

• World of Outlaws)Brad Sweet’s win Friday night at Federated Auto Parts Raceway at I-55 was a return to form for the reigning champion after a disappointing return at Knoxville, but it came with a challenge. A challenge from his own brother-in-law Kyle Larson. There was no family love in their battle. Both wanted the win just as bad as the other, racing clean but hard. However, the reigning champion made the right move at the right time to hold off Larson to win the first night of the Drydene Double Down Invitational against a star-studded field and in front of a limited crowd of fans in the stands — the first return of fans at a World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series race since February.World of Outlaws 5/22

• USAC Midgets).It's been quite awhile since Tyler Courtney and the USAC NOS Energy Drink Midget National Championship were last in competition - 76 nights to be exact. A little rust here and a few cobwebs to knock out there, the quarantine period during the COVID-19 pandemic around the world has knocked anybody and everybody off their normal routines. But what has become routine over the last several years is a Courtney feature victory and the defending champ once again nestled into that routine Friday night for his first series victory of the year in the inaugural Werco Manufacturing T-Town Midget Showdown presented by B & H Contractors at Port City Raceway in Tulsa, Okla.USAC 5/22

• IRA)The Bumper To Bumper IRA Outlaw Sprints hope to get back to some normalcy soon. We believe we can race in a safe manor during the Covid crisis. With Wisconsin starting to open up, following our May 29-30 trip to South Dakota, we will be looking to Wisconsin heavily. Our April 10th show which we lost at Lee Co Speedway in Iowa has now been lost twice, as uncertainty regarding the number of fans they may be allowed has caused the rescheduled date of June 5th to be cancelled too. We were supposed to be at Fairbury IL on June 6th, but IL may never open, so that day is done too. On a positive we are looking to fill either Fri June 5 or Fri June 12 In WI. Wilmot is on as scheduled for June 13. After that we’ll check in to see what the status of the WoO show is at Beaver Dam on 6/20, and go from there. We are very confident our WI schedule will keep us busy, and as the season goes forward our remaining WI IRA shows should go on as scheduled. And we’ll be looking at options to fill dates we were sitting down for, if those dates should change. Things may move around or rotate a little as needed due to Covid rescheduling, but we will do our best to keep everyone notified of any additional changes in a timely manner. Thank You5/21
