ERICKSON EARNS THIRD MADERA WIN OF 2018 DURING SPENCER CLASSIC
MADERA, CALIFORNIA (July 1, 2018) – Running a tribute hood on his #42 Late Model, Matt Erickson won his third RPM Mortgage Pro Late Model Series race of 2018, Saturday, during the “Reverend Ron Spencer Red, White, and Blue Classic” at Madera Speedway. The 80 lap MAVTV-televised race was part of a large evening of patriotic racing in honor of the late track Champlain.
Erickson qualified fastest but had to start sixth after the redraw. That placed Military Tribute Night Winner Racin Vernon on the pole position as he aimed for another patriotic win. The caution flew immediately on the 80 lap feature on lap one, then again on lap eight.
Vernon’s run at the front ended after a lap 22 caution for Henk Gaalswyk spinning. Vernon lost a power steering cap and had a brief fire, but was able to rejoin the field. Erickson took over the lead with Jason Agguire up to second. Erickson’s lead was slowed by a lengthy red flag on lap 28 when Blaine Rocha and Kyle Gottula made contact for fourth. The ensuing melee gathered up Glen Cook and B Main transfer Garland Tyler as well.
Vernon then lost a water line on lap 28 for another cleanup period and another red flag. Jarrett Gilmer suffered what he later described as a possible season ending engine failure on lap 40 that ended up beckoning the race’s scheduled break as well.
Teams made repairs and adjustments and the top-three were interviewed for MAVTV before racing continued on the blistering night. A multi-car pileup occurred coming out of the break with rookie Christian Roche spinning. Gaalswyk and David Lewellen both made heavy contact with Roche to end their evenings.
After a lap 53 caution for Vernon spinning, the race went green to the finish with Erickson topping Agguire, incoming points leader Austin Herzog, Adam Lemke for a career best fourth, and Ryan Hart. The championship battle between Herzog and Erickson has closed considerably with the $5,000 to win feature on July 28th looming large. Four-time Modified Super Toyota champion Kevin Thompson won the $500 B Main event for the Pro Late Models as well.
2017 51FIFTY Jr. Late Model Series champion Jesse Love IV earned his third win of the season as well to extend his points lead. Love was one of many drivers who had a close relationship with Spencer. Love qualified second behind six-time series winner Austin Herzog. Herzog also grabbed the pole in the redraw. Second starting Tyler Reif of Las Vegas, NV took over the lead from the get go while Love marched forward from his fifth starting spot.
Herzog retired to the pits on lap 22 with mechanical woes allowing Love to assume second place. Love then took over the lead on lap 28. Dylan Zampa, a two-time winner this year, took over second on lap 42.
The race was a special 50 lap race with no scheduled breaks and Love went on for a strong 1.4 second victory over Zampa. Tanner Reif took third from his brother Tyler late in the going with Kayla Eshleman fifth after starting eighth.
Riley Massey of Bakersfield won her second Mini Cup vs. Bandoleros race, taking both the Bandolero main event and the overall win in the 20 lap race also televised for MAVTV. Bakersfield’s Kale McClenny returned to his winning ways by taking the Mini Cup portion of the event and finishing a scant .334 seconds behind Massey at the checkered flag The Mini Cup of Aaron Thomas, Zachary Ginn’s Bando, and Aiden Phillips’ Mini Cup rounded out the top-five.
Both the Modified Super Toyotas and Toyota Sedans staged extra-distance 48 lap features as part of the special festivities. Jason Lawton led on three different occasions to take the Toyota Sedan main event in a narrow win over Barrett Sugden. Greg Tyler, Jillaun Holden, and Thomas Magray made up the rest of the top-five.
Ryan Reynolds took the lead from his brother Shaun Reynolds and never looked back for the Modified Super Toyota victory. Dave Lander, Bert Stephens, and Zachary Cook finished out the top-five.
Racing continues at Madera Speedway on July 7th with the Gerhardt Classic 100 Lap Three wide start BCRA Midget Race, the Western Winged Super Sprint Series for $800 to start, USAC Western US Midgets, CSS/360 Super Modifieds, Vintage BCRA, and Legends of Kearney Bowl.

LIVESTREAM ACTION SEES SHEPHERD FIGHT BACK FOR THE WIN
Madera, CA. (6-16-18) – More than 5,000 people that were both at the speedway and viewing the Livestream enjoyed some great racing action with a fast paced, fan friendly show from the Madera Speedway during the club night on June 16th.
The Madera Late Models saw some heavy hitters tuning up for the big June 30th Reverend Ron Spencer Red, White and Blue Classic. Two time RPM Mortgage Pro Late Model Series Champion Buddy Shepherd set fast time and started on the pole but ran into trouble on lap one of the main event and found himself in ninth place on lap two of the 40 lap sprint race.
Jason Aguirre overhauled Matt Erickson for the win just one race ago on a club night and he looked to be in shape to take down Buddy Shepherd giving Aguirre two big trophies and the distinction of beating both RPM Pro Series Champions. But Shepherd fought hard to get back to the front battling with Tyler Herzog, a fast improving Henk Gaalswyk Jr, Austin Herzog and a tough Dillion Tucker to finally get to Aguirre with laps running out.
Shepherd was able to sneak past Aguirre on the high side of the track to take the victory followed by Aguirre for second, Dillion Tucker for third, Austin Herzog fourth, and Henk Gaalswyk jr rounding out the top five in the Late Model Series.
The Legends of the Pacific put on a barnburner of a main event with wheel to wheel action and big moves by the drivers throughout the race. When the smoke cleared it was Brandon Rodgers from Bakersfield that found victory lane. Robert Czub was second, Cody Winchel third, Chad Nascimento fourth, and fast Eddie Garone fifth.
The thrill seeking fans enjoyed the Southwest Truck race as there were a couple of big wrecks in that main event, but when the checkers flew it was Dustin Vandermooren that won followed by Jeremiah Wagner, Ronnie Davis, Ed Cutler, and Barry Kelperis for the top five.
The was four other main event in this fast paced show that finished at 9:30 pm, Jesse Hernandez won the Hobby Stock Main event, Shaun Reynolds fought hard and won the MST main event, Jilluan Holden dominated the Toyota Sedan main event, and Kabe McCleeny won the Jr Late Model tune-up race.
Next up for the Madera Speedway is the June 30th Reverend Ron Spencer Red, White and Blue Classic featuring a big fireworks show and a HUGE late model car count! Adult tickets are only $15, seniors and military are $13, youth ages 6-12 are $7, and kids five and under are free.

VERNON GRABS MILITARY TRIBUTE NIGHT HONORS AT MADERA
MADERA, CALIFORNIA (May 26, 2018) – Bakersfield’s Racin Vernon avenged his round three misfortune to take a dominating win in Saturday’s Military Tribute Night at Madera Speedway, leading all 80 laps for the $2,000 victory. Vernon has led a total of 138 laps over the last two races in the challenging RPM Mortgage Pro Late Model Series on MAVTV.
Vernon led 58 laps in the April’s round #3 before spinning from the lead. Blaine Rocha took advantage to take the victory and parlayed that into fast-time in this weekend’s round four. The 33 car turnout was narrowed to 22 starters after a 25 lap B Main. Rick Thompson won the $500 non-qualifiers portion of the B Main.
Rocha started from the pole on a straight-up start but immediately yielded the lead position to Vernon. Two-time series champion Buddy Shepherd immediately slowed from the second row with a broken third link and retired to the pits.
A pair of cautions slowed racing on laps eight and nine and brought on the new Texas style restarts with Vernon by himself while Rocha was outside of third running Austin Herzog on each attempt. 2016 champion Matt Erickson and Glen Cook staged a long and sustained side-by-side race for fourth behind them. The caution flew again on lap 14 when Garland Tyler stalled in turn two after possibly tagging the front stretch wall.
Logan Zampa jumped outside Cook to take fifth on the restart with Kyle Gottula following suit for sixth. Rocha started to peek inside Vernon for the lead before a caution on lap 22. Erickson got swallowed up by both Gottula and Zampa on the following green flag run. The race’s next caution did not fall until lap 48 when Vernon tangled with lapped car Nick Grossi. Grossi spun and in the ensuing melee Cook drove hard into the front end of Zampa while Erickson suffered heavy front end damage as well.
The caution ended up bringing the field to the lap 50 break two laps early, with only Grossi ruled as an involved car. Cook’s race was over, however, with heavy damage while Erickson pitted in the infield for repairs to surrender his track position and restart at the rear. Zampa and Vernon were able to continue on unscathed.
After adjustments and MAVTV interviews, racing resumed with Vernon, Rocha, and Herzog maintaining the top-three positions throughout cautions on lap 61 and 72. Zampa and Gottula moved past Herzog and staged a spirited race for third that ended with them tangling into turn one. Gottula spun forcing Ryan Philpott to come to a stop. Round #3 podium finisher Jack Wood slammed into the back of the parked Philpott to end both of their races. Gottula’s race was over as well with a broken rear panhard bar, while Zampa was penalized to the back of the pack.
A five lap shootout saw Vernon successfully hold off Rocha and Herzog for the win. B Main winner Ross Strmiska came from 17th to finish fourth ahead of 19th starting Dillon Tucker in fifth.
A straight up start in the 70 lap 51FIFTY Energy Drink Junior Late Model Series race proved to the benefit of 2017 champion Jesse Love as he took a convincing victory. Love led the entire 70 lap affair after a sizzling 15.117 second lap in qualifying for a new track record.
His drive towards his eighth win in just his 12th Jr. Late Model start began from the pole. Love led comfortably ahead of second in points Tanner Reif of Las Vegas and 2018 two-time winner Dylan Zampa. The 11 car field for drivers ages 10-16 raced under green for 37 consecutive laps. The caution finally came out when Reif spun into the turn four wall after apparent contact with lapped car Calvin Hegje.
The caution ended up being the impetus for the lap 40 break, two laps early like in the Pro Late Model division. Smooth sailing continued out of the break with Love continuing his impressive performance. Zampa drove up to his rear bumper a few times but never was close enough to capitalize. Love coasted to a 1.6 second victory over Zampa and 10 year-old Tyler Reif. Kayla Eshleman drove from seventh to finish fourth, while Austin Edwards nipped Kabe McClenny for fifth by a nose at the finish.
Mini Cups vs. Bandoleros had their largest car count of 2018 with 13 entries in the pits. The race is a two-races-in-one event with two separate trophies awarded. Two-time Bandolero winner Kercie Jung of Bakersfield led the opening lap before Seth Wise led the second lap. Jung then wrestled the lead back which she held until lap ten. Wise led lap 11 before Jung spun on lap 12 for the race’s first yellow flag.
The yellow flag tightened up the race for the Mini Cup victory as well, as three-time winner Kale McClenny had contact with Aaron Thomas that saw McClenny’s entire front bodywork come off. Thomas was charged to the rear of the field for his involvement in the incident.
Jung quickly drove back through the field up to second behind Wise, while third running Riley Massey spun in turn four. Massey, winner of the third race, turned her car back around and continued but lost a lap in the process. Seth Wise took the Bandolero checkered flag and the overall win over Kercie Jung and Hank Hall, while Jayce McArthey won the Mini Cup trophy narrowly over Thomas and McClenny.
Modified Super Toyotas had five different leaders and five lead changes in their eight car, 25 lap event. John McCollum, Jr. led lap one before spinning out from the lead on lap two. Dave Lander led laps two through four before Bert Stephens held court. Stephens led the race to lap 16 before getting tagged by Ryan Reynolds into turn one to send him spinning. Both restarted at the back. Patrick Geiger assumed the lead which he held for only one lap before it was Lander back out front. Geiger managed to close back down on Lander, taking the top position on lap 20 and leading to the finish. Reynolds and Stephens drove back to the front to finish second and third respectively.
A full inversion for the Toyota Sedans did not deter 2016 champion Jillaun Holden. Kurt Davison led lap one before rookie Greg Tyler took over. Meanwhile Holden and Tim Curtis were cutting through the pack one-by-one. Holden finally passed Tyler on the outside for the lead on lap 19 and took the 25 lap win while Curtis was second ahead of Tyler.

Madera Speedway Partners With McCallister Precision Marketing
One Top-Five Jr. Late Model driver to win free test with Lee Faulk Racing
MADERA, CALIFORNIA (May 25, 2018) - McCallister Precision Marketing is proud to announce a multi-year agreement with California’s Madera Speedway.
The agreement makes McCallister Precision Marketing the Official Motorsports Marketing Company of Madera Speedway as well as a premier sponsor of the third-mile semi-banked asphalt oval located in Madera, California.
Owned by Tonya McCallister, McCallister Precision Marketing assists racing teams and drivers by providing them with quality customer service and marketing opportunities that will not only allow them to compete in the fast growing sport of racing, but to stay a lap ahead of the competition.
As part of the partnership one of the top-five drivers in points from Madera’s MAVTV-televised 51FIFTY Energy Drink Jr. Late Model Series, which features racers between the ages of 10 to 16 racing full sized late models, will be randomly selected to receive a Premier Marketing Package from McCallister Precision Marketing.
The Premier Marketing Package will include consulting, promotion, 10 free press releases and a free test session with McCallister Precision Marketing client Lee Faulk Racing and Development on the East Coast.
Lee Faulk Racing and Development, started by veteran racer Lee Faulk, has fielded limited late models, late model stock cars and super late models for a vast array of drivers, Verizon IndyCar Series competitor Pietro Fittipaldi, current NHRA Pro Stock racer Tanner Gray and 2012 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Rookie of the Year Stephen Leicht.
“Partnering with Madera is very exciting,” said McCallister. “They have done a phenomenal job of offering a platform for younger racers to be able to race in a competitive series, yet still be in a heavier type of car. The transition for these young drivers will be much less of a learning curve when they make the next step. We are proud to be the marketing company that can assist them with their transition to the East Coast.
“Kenny Shepherd at Madera Speedway has done a great job with the 51FIFTY Energy Drink Jr. Late Model Series and they have a ton of talent racing in all of their series at Madera. We look forward to working with Kenny and everyone at Madera,” McCallister said.
Madera Speedway’s Kenny Shepherd said the partnership with McCallister Precision Marketing will benefit both the track and the competitors and he’s looking forward to the partnership.
"My goal has been to put the steps back on the ladder to the top of our sport and every move I've made has been to provide a platform where talent can shine beginning at the short tracks,” Shepherd said. “Connecting with McCallister Precision Marketing is the next step in providing the strongest foundation possible for rising talent racing in our program at Madera Speedway. One of our young drivers in the top five of the 51FIFTY Jr. Late Model Series will benefit greatly from our relationship with MPM. We are very excited we were able to make this happen for our drivers."
