King Of The West/NARC Sprint Cars Kick Off 2017 Season At March 4th Mini Gold Cup

CHICO, CA (2-26-17) -Â The King of the West Sprint Car Series - Presented by the Northern Auto Racing Club, will invade Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico on Saturday, March 4th for the season opening high-stakes $5,000 to win Mini-Gold Cup.

This is the first of only two visits by the KWS-NARC series to the high-banked quarter-mile oval in 2017. This event also marks the return of the Northern Auto Racing Club (NARC) sanctioning body to the Mini-Gold Cup for the first time since 2000. The organization was resurrected this past offseason to help grow and promote the popular 410 cubic inch motor class of sprint car racing in California. The Mini-Gold had been sanctioned by the World of Outlaws for the past eight years.

Among the drivers expected to compete include defending King of the West champion Kyle Hirst of Paradise, CA; Campbell's Bud Kaeding; Justyn Cox of Clarksburg; Hanford's DJ Netto; Sean Watts of Atwater; Penngrove's Chase Johnson; Grass Valley's Jason Statler and at least 20 others.

"We hope that Mother Nature cooperates with the racing community this weekend," said Jim Allen, KWS-NARC Business Manager. "This area has been pounded for weeks by wet weather and I'm sure open wheel fans would rather watch and hear the sounds of sprint cars than another broadcast on the Weather Channel."

The extra moisture should equate to an excellent racing surface, which allows teams to "hook up" their chassis to maximize the performance of their 850 horsepower-1400 pound sprint cars.

"One thing I can guarantee on Saturday is that everyone will be extremely fast," said perennial NARC & King of the West champion Brent Kaeding of Campbell, who will also be competing. "Everyone is looking to start the season strong and if you miss the set up even a slightly, you'll become lap traffic in just a handful of laps."

The Mini-Gold Cup marks the beginning of the ultra-competitive KWS-NARC schedule that features 18-events at 10 different dirt oval tracks around California.

Silver Dollar Speedway is located at the fairgrounds in Chico, approximately ï¿½ mile west of U.S. 99. For more information, call 530-891-6535.
