CHICO, Calif.July 28, 2025 – The 71st Mike Curb Gold Cup Race of Champions presented by NOS Energy Drink is set for Aug 20-23 at the famed Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, CA.

It is with great honor that SLC Promotions has renamed the Wednesday night winged 360 sprint car race at Silver Dollar Speedway to the John and Robbie Padjen Classic In Tribute to Gold Cup presented by Berco Redwood.

Starting with the John and Robbie Padjen Classic and moving forward with all winged 360 sprint car races, SLC Promotions and the Silver Dollar Speedway will be fully alligned with the SCCT rule book. “We felt moving forward with the popularity of 360 sprint car racing in California that we 100 percent align ourselves with the SCCT rule book for all upcoming races,” said SLC Promotions Colby Copeland.
