NASCAR fans cap racing weekend at Petaluma Speedway
“We’ve always had a good relationship with Sonoma Raceway,” said Speedway promoter Rick Faeth.
With NASCAR’s Toyota/Save Mart 350 racing event ending in the afternoon, racing fans had the opportunity to head over to the Petaluma Speedway, located in the Petaluma Fairgrounds, for the second annual Dave Lindt Memorial NARC 410 sprint car series last Saturday night.
Speedway promoter Rick Faeth told the Argus-Courier that the July 12 event was a “tremendous success,” with 1,800 patrons in attendance, and that the Petaluma Speedway saw “many crossover fans” who came to Petaluma from the NASCAR event.
Even though Petaluma Speedway “is not a NASCAR-sanctioned track,” Faeth said, “we’ve always had a good relationship with Sonoma Raceway.”
The speedway will next host the Western States Dwarf Nationals series on Friday, July 18 and Saturday, July 19, with races starting at 6 p.m. Adult general admission tickets are $18, seniors are $16 and junior general admission tickets (ages 6-11) are $10. Children ages 5 and under are free of cost for admission.
