West Coast Stock Car/Motorsports Hall of Fame supports Calistoga Speedway reopening
Calistoga Speedway, one of the west’s most storied dirt tracks, returns to competition with the Louie Vermeil Classic on Aug. 30-31 and the West Coast Stock Car/Motorsports Hall of Fame is proud to be a part of the festivities.
The half-mile speedway, located at the Calistoga Fairgrounds, will host two nights of Northern Auto Racing Club (NARC) 410 wing sprint car and United States Auto Club (USAC)/California Racing Association (CRA) 410 non-wing sprint car events.
Calistoga Speedway last hosted the Vermeil Classic in 2019, prior to its relocation to Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico. The West Coast Stock Car/Motorsports Hall of Fame is an associate sponsor of this year’s event.
The West Coast Stock Car/Motorsports Hall of Fame also will sponsor this year’s Calistoga Hall of Fame dinner and awards, set for Aug. 29 at the Tubb Building at the fairgrounds. A maximum of six inductees will be announced later this summer.
Tickets for the Hall of Fame gala can be purchased at www.racecalistogaspeedway.com. Proceeds from a charity auction will be donated to Chase Johnson, a sprint car competitor injured in an accident at Chico’s Gold Cup race in 2024.
“As a longtime fan of Calistoga Speedway and learning of the opportunity to connect with the Louie Vermeil Classic, we jumped at the chance to become involved,” said Ken Clapp, Chairman and CEO of the West Coast Stock Car/Motorsports Hall of Fame. “Having a longtime relationship with Tommy Hunt, we at the West Coast Stock Car/Motorsports Hall of Fame are looking forward to participating during the Aug. 29-31 weekend.”
“The Hunt family is honored and proud to have the West Coast Stock Car/Motorsports Hall of Fame as a sponsor of this year’s racing activities,” said Tommy Hunt, the Calistoga Speedway promoter and member of the Calistoga Speedway Hall of Fame. “We’re well on our way to the necessary improvements. People will be surprised what they see when they get here.”
