All American Speedway kicks off 72nd season

The 72nd season of NASCAR racing at All American Speedway kicks off Saturday, April 4, with a full slate of motorsports excitement plus the all-new NAPA Auto Parts Drag A Boat closing the show. NASCAR Late Models launch their race to the national, regional and state titles with twin 40-lap features. NASCAR Modified, Street Stock and Mini Stock classes will also compete on the one-third mile speedway @the Grounds in Roseville. Tickets are available when the gates open at 4 p.m. or at www.allamericanspeedway.com. All tickets are general admission with adults $20. Kids ages 6-12 are $15. Kids 5 and under are free. Heat races start the program at 5:15 p.m. The opening ceremony is at 6 p.m., followed by five main events. The Drag-A-Boat closes the show. Rules, payouts and more info for teams joining the exciting season opener are available online. Drag-A-Boat is a new twist on the popular Trailer Bash events. In 2026, the trailer has been removed all together. Competitors will drag their boats around All American Speedway. The driver to cross the finish line first after 15 laps of competition – with their boat intact – will claim $1,000. Defending Late Model champion Kenna Mitchell of Loomis has had a great start to her season across the Southwest, becoming the first female driver to win in the SPEARS CARS Tour West recently in Bakersfield. Mitchell returns to Roseville for Saturday's twin 40-lap features with seven starts already this year. One of her closest rivals in the Roseville battles will be competing with Auburn's Thomas Martin, looking for his first win at the speedway. Young guns will be plentiful in the series, including 2025 runner-up Joey Kennealy of Madera, Auburn's Colton Nelson and El Dorado Hills' Bella Thomsen. New faces expected include Madera Late Model champion Jason Aguirre of Atwater, Late Model rookie Donald Witkowski of Long Beach and Oakdale's Hayden Stepps. Rocklin's Tyler Wentworth enjoyed a strong 2025 NASCAR Modified season with four wins. Wentworth is trophy hunting again with drivers such as Carmichael's Bud Anderson, Sacramento's Marshel Meadows, former Street Stock champion Andrew Peeler and Rio Linda's Jose Hernandez in pursuit. A 30-lap feature is on tap. Dixon's Tim Walters is the defending NASCAR Street Stock champion with a fresh rules package being offered in 2026 to try to increase the competition level for the grassroots racers. Saturday's season opener is a 30-lap event. The F4 class has been rebranded as NASCAR Mini Stock to represent the wide range of competitors who are taking on the one-third mile speedway. Roseville veterans and valley contenders are expected in Saturday's 30-lap liftoff.
