Buckle up, Stockton! The roar of engines, the crunch of metal, and the thrill of hometown heroes going head-to-head returns as Stockton 99 Speedway hosts one of its most electrifying nights of the season this Friday, July 19.
Get ready for a high-octane double feature as the Stockton Late Models take center stage in the fourth race of the season — followed by the wild, no-rules mayhem of boat trailer racing, where survival is the name of the game!
This all-out summer showdown also features:
🔥 CHAMPIONSHIP HEAT TURNING UP
After snagging a record-setting fourth Firecracker 90 victory, Escalon’s own Sammy Solari leads the Stockton Late Model points standings. But don't count out Stockton native JoJo Stearns, who’s just 11 points behind and hungry for a hometown win.
Ethan Rumsey has taken control of the Nor Cal Mini Stocks, pulling ahead of Stockton’s Natalite Harper and chasing a historic three-peat. And Valley Springs’ Donnie Darter may have battled car trouble to secure his fourth win, but Stockton’s Mason Beghtel is hot on his heels—only two points away from shaking up the leaderboard.
The Legends race is still buzzing after Henderson’s Tanner Reif edged out Tracy’s Brenden Ruzbarsky in a thrilling 50-lap national qualifier. Meanwhile, Easton’s Patrick Geiger continues his Fast Kar Mini Modifieds domination — unless another breakdown throws a wrench in his near-perfect season.
🚤 BOAT TRAILER RACING RETURNS
To cap off the night? Sheer, beautiful chaos. Watch as drivers smash through obstacles, dodge debris, and attempt to finish with their boats still attached in the most unpredictable race of the night. It’s demolition derby meets waterworld — and you won’t want to miss a second of it.
