PRESS RELEASE-FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Raceway Banquet Scheduled
(Marysville, CA 10/6/24) The 2024 Marysville Raceway year ending dinner and awards banquet will be held November 9, 2024. The annual celebration of the race year will be held at the Feather Falls Casino in Oroville.
“We’re one of the few raceways who still have a full season of racing, and we are proud of the people who make this happen,” explained track manager Dennis Gage. “These folks commit to a full year of competition and put their heart and soul into this effort.” he concluded.
Marysville Raceway is located just off Simpson Lane next to the Marysville Flea Market in the Yuba River flood plain.
The ¼ mile clay oval has operated for more than 60 years at this location. Over time it has had numerous configurations and operators. Improvements over the last decade have made the facility rival any California oval track operation and draws a large contingent of racers and fans.
24 events were held in 2024. Winged 360 sprint cars led the lineup with the most events and local youngster Carson Hammes was crowned champion. This was his first track title. Raymond Lindeman also was a first-time winner after narrowly defeating Mark Garner by 6 points in the Sport Modified division. Another local youngster, Koe Crane, led the Crate sprint cars, but again by only 6 points over Matthew Kaiser. Kyle Cheney and Howard Law, who has dominated the Hobby stock competition, fought to the last race scoring a tie. Cheney’s 6 main event wins compared to Law at 3 earned Cheney the Championship.
The 2025 schedule is still being compiled but will mirror the 2024 season. The winged sprint cars will be the headline division, joined by Crate Sprints, Hobby stocks, and Sport modifieds. Hobby stocks have gained popularity in the area and had fifty different entries this year. Sprint cars exceeded that with sixty-seven entrants. The biggest difference is the Hobby stocks are locally based, while the sprint car teams come from as far away as Texas.
The Banquet will be held in a private banquet room on the mezzanine level at Feather Falls Casino. A no host bar will open at 6 PM and dinner is scheduled for 7:15. Lodging is available adjacent to the Casino at the lodge. Room reservation can be made by calling 530-533-3885.
