“We’re really looking forward to Stockton on Saturday and hope all the fans are too,” said the Campbell, California veteran. “It’s always nice to have new tracks come into the mix and Tony Noceti has done a great job with the Stockton 99 Dirt Track. I’ve been to a lot of places and this track is definitely unique with the layout of the facility. Those grandstands are pretty awesome and it certainly looks like a fast & racy track. All in all if you’re a Sprint Car fan then Stockton is the place to be on Saturday and we invite everyone to come out and have some fun.” Brent Kaeding will also be a part of our pre-race meet & greet on Saturday just inside the front gate when it opens at 5pm. It will be your chance for autographs, photo opportunities and for any questions you may have about the cars and the sport in general. So if you have any old BK merchandise or paraphernalia bring it out and get there at 5pm to get it signed.
The event on August 3 will mark the 14th round of competition for the King of the West 410 Sprint Car Series and the first of two season appearances at the Stockton 99 Dirt Track. The other will occur on Saturday November 2 and will also serve as championship night, with some special items on tap that will be announced soon.
The front gate will open at 5pm on Saturday August 3 with qualifying around 6:30pm and racing anticipated to start at about 7pm. Adult tickets will cost $20, seniors & military will be $15, kids six to 12 will be $10 and children five and under free. Parking will also be at a reduced rate on August 3 with it being just $5 to park.
The Stockton 99 Dirt Track is located on the San Joaquin County Fairgrounds with the physical address being 1658 S Airport Way, Stockton, CA 95206
