We’re back behind the wheel of the Tarlton Motorsports #21 sprint car—this time at the iconic Placerville Speedway, one of California’s smallest and most demanding bullrings. Night one of the action-packed Sprint Car Challenge Tour weekend brought a stacked field of 45+ 360 sprint cars, big prize money on the line, and one wild ride through Hangtown. We walk you through what makes Placerville so unique—including the legendary Turn 3 & 4 hill, tight quarters, and a monster cushion that builds up throughout the night. From a tough qualifying run to a heat race incident that buried us in the B-main, we had to dig deep to salvage our night. With a pole start in the B, we transferred into the A and started near the tail of the field—22nd. What followed was a 35-lap grind through traffic, picking cars off one by one to finish 8th and claim the Hard Charger Award (and a bonus payday!). This video is packed with behind-the-scenes insight, in-car commentary, and raw thoughts on race craft, track conditions, and mindset when things don’t go to plan. It’s all part of the grind—and we’re not done yet. Thanks to Tarlton Motorsports, the SCCT crew, and everyone at Placerville for making this a memorable night. Plenty more racing ahead in 2025. Let’s keep chasing it. 👇 Drop a comment, like, and don’t forget to subscribe if you enjoy riding along with the journey.

What. A. Night. We’re back in Cottage Grove, Oregon for one of the most emotional and prestigious races on the calendar — the 2025 Marvin Smith Memorial Finale — and it didn’t disappoint. With $4,100 on the line and the weight of defending last year’s win, we came in ready to battle. From hot laps to heat races, strategy, surface changes, redraw luck (finally!), and fighting through a wild 41-lap feature — this night was packed with intensity and heart. We break down how we went from P2 early on to capturing the win and parking it in Victory Lane once again. 🏆 It wasn’t easy. The track changed, traffic got hairy, and restarts were critical — but with the whole team locked in, we made it happen. Huge thanks to Carly, Tayzen, Mom, Dad, and everyone grinding behind the scenes. This win means more than words can say. 👇 In this video: ✔️ Behind-the-scenes team strategy ✔️ Raw in-car & pit audio ✔️ Heat & feature race highlights ✔️ Post-race thoughts + celebration ✔️ Confetti, emotion, and everything in between Thanks to all the fans, competitors, and the Cottage Grove Speedway crew for making the Marvin what it is — one of the most special nights in motorsports. 🎥 Hit LIKE if you enjoyed the video 🛎 SUBSCRIBE to follow more race weekends 💬 Drop a comment — we read them all!
