Stockton Dirt Track to host legends of Sprint Car racing autograph session on November 3rd

Stockton, CA – October 25, 2018…During the races on Saturday November 3rd the Stockton Dirt Track will be hosting a “Legends of Sprint Car racing” autograph session from 4pm-6 to help commemorate the 35th running of the Tribute to Gary Patterson.

Those that are set to take part include Johnny Anderson, Jimmy Sills, the Kaeding family, Wally Baker, the Tiner family, LeRoy Van Conett, Richard Forsberg, the Bradway family, Rick Hirst and Jimmy Gordon’s son Jim Gordon. The autograph session will take place in the grandstands and each signee will have custom autograph cards to hand out for the fans. The hope is to expand upon it in the years to come at the Tribute to GP.

“We look forward to having the legends of sprint car racing autograph session at the Tribute to Gary Patterson,” said Stockton Dirt Track Promoter Tony Noceti. “We’ve done a similar thing at 99 Speedway during our night of champions event and figured we could integrate that into championship weekend at the dirt track. We really want to think Roy Van Conett for all his help in assisting with getting these drivers rounded up for the session. It should be a great two nights of racing as we finish off the 2018 season.”

The 35th annual Tribute to Gary Patterson on November 3rd showcases championship night for both the Sprint Car Challenge Tour presented by Elk Grove Ford and Abreu Vineyards, and the King of the West-NARC Fujitsu Racing Series. The SCCT Winged 360’s will be vying for $5500-to-win/ $400-to-start the feature, while the KWS-NARC Winged 410’s will be racing for $4000-to-win/ $650-to-start. An $1100 bounty is up for grabs to any driver that can sweep both main events. The KWS-NARC Sunnyvalley Bacon Dash will also hand out a cool $1000 to the winner. read more
