Hangtown 100 caps Placerville Speedway season Friday & Saturday

The USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midgets and BCRA Lightning Sprints are primed to take on Placerville Speedway this Friday and Saturday for the annual running of the Hangtown 100.

Two-night ticket packages and single night tickets are available by visiting https://www.eventsprout.com/event/psr111425 or by purchasing at the gate on race day.

The event puts a wrap on the 60^th anniversary season at the El Dorado County Fairgrounds based venue.

“The Hangtown 100 has become a marquee event to close out the season at Placerville Speedway,” commented track Promoter Scott Russell. “The USAC National Midgets have put on some breathtaking shows here the last several years and we expect more of the same this weekend. Hopefully the fans will come out and support two great nights of racing this Friday and Saturday.”

Prior to a rainout last year, Elk Grove’s Kyle Larson claimed his second Hangtown 100 title in 2023, while winning the feature each night. Larson, the now two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion, also scooped up the inaugural running of the event in 2019.

As previously stated, Larson won’t just be co-promoter of the Hangtown 100, he will also be competing in the race once again, searching for a third career win at the event.

The USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midgets are set for a busy California swing that gets underway at Placerville Speedway on Friday.

Bixby, Oklahoma’s Cannon McIntosh, who has been gathering Winged Sprint Car experience in California as of late, brings the USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midget point lead into the Golden State Swing. California native Justin Grant, Kevin Thomas Jr., Jacob Denney and Gavin Miller round out the top five in the championship standings.

A mix of California favorites, who have gone on to the national stage, looking to bring home the top prize will include:

-World of Outlaws runner up and 2022 Hangtown 100 winner Buddy Kofoid.

-Former Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial winner and now three-time Gold Cup victor Corey Day.

-2021 Hangtown 100 champion and USAC Triple Crown winner Logan Seavey.

-Lemoore’s Carson Macedo, who locked up third in WOO points with 12 triumphs this year.

Placerville Speedway hosted a pair of Avanti Windows & Doors USAC Western States Midget events this year, with wins going to Fremont’s Shane Golobic and Lincoln’s Tanner Carrick respectively. Stockton’s Caden Sarale earned the season championship.

As is tradition, Saturday night’s main event will feature a 100-lap conclusion for the USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midgets.

Wingless BCRA Lightning Sprints will complement the event each night. The division has provided entertaining racing during the Hangtown 100 over the last few years. Langley, BC driver Levi Klatt brought home the big win during the 2023 finale.  

Livermore’s Greg Dennett claimed the BCRA Lightning Sprint title with six victories this season.
