By BY MIKE GRIFFITH Californian staff writer mgriffith@bakersfield.com For 15 laps it was a one-man show, then it turned wild in the 30-lap Late Model feature at Bakersfield Speedway. How wild? Well, Steve Drake thought he had lost a close race to Mike Johnson, who drove across the finish line with just two tires on the third-mile clay oval — his right-side tires were on top of the crash wall with sparks flying. “I saw a little flash of blue (the color of Johnson’s car) [...]
This Saturday night May 19th, the mini dwarf heat race starting times have been moved forward to help create more race time to complete the scheduled events. Heat races for mini dwarfs will start at 4:30pm sharp. With the enlarged car count planned for Saturday, this adjustment will help prevent the need to shorten any races.

BY STEPHEN LYNCH Special to The Californian Bakersfield Speedway’s slick racing surface was difficult for some drivers to maneuver around Saturday night. Lee Jensen wasn’t one of them Jensen grabbed an early lead and never looked back en route to winning the 25-lap Super Streets A-main. Jensen took over the point with a lap four pass of Lonnie Welch and was never seriously threatened for the top spot once he got it. Earlier in the evening Jensen won his heat race. “I love these tracks [...]
BY MIKE GRIFFITH Californian staff writer mgriffth@bakersfield.com As a full moon rose over turn three, it turned into one of those nights at Bakersfield Speedway. The kind where nothing much goes as planned, where the flagman gets tennis elbow from repeatedly waving the caution flag in one race, then waves nothing but the green, white and checkered in another. Where a race that had been oh-so-smooth turns into a crash fest. Such are full-moon short-track racing nights. Or so says racing supersitition. Saturday [...]
