MERCED, Calif. (Sept. 26-27) – Bobby Hogge IV repeated history in taking both legs of the fourth annual Delta-Valley Classic at Antioch Speedway and Merced Speedways, collecting $4,000 in winnings and a $500 bonus. Hogge had accomplished the same difficult Xtreme Motor Sports IMCA Modified feat four years earlier. Challenged by 16-year-old Ethan Dotson, the veteran Hogge searched for the right groove to maintain the lead Sunday at Merced. Paul Stone, who had run second the night before at Antioch, chased Dotson across the line. “Ethan is a true racer. He left me room to race him clean. He’s very impressive for his age,” Hogge said from victory lane. “As the track became slicker and slicker, I tried to stay in the same ruts lap after lap to maintain traction.” Earlier this summer, Dotson pulled off an upset, winning the Harris Clash at Hamilton County Speedway in Webster City, Iowa. He was the first Californian to win that race. Soft-spoken Dotson was modest after the Merced show. “I came close to passing him a few [Read More]

To win made it worthwhile,” said Karlnoski, who earned $500. “It was a good clean race and the car had the right balance. The old girl wants to pull the left front and it’s hooked up. Boy does it work when that left front is up, I’m telling you.” Gary Roberts, point leader Eddie Sites, Keith Lamphere and Harry Ely rounded out the top five.
