Summer Nationals Heats Things up This Weekend; Tribute to Tyler Wolf
CHICO, Calif., May 31, 2022 — As things continue to warm up as we approach the beginning of summer in California, SLC Promotions is turning up the heat this weekend at Silver Dollar Speedway. The first Summer Nationals takes place this weekend, Friday night June 3rd, and Saturday night, June 4th.
Friday night features three divisions led by the winged 360 sprint cars, B mods, and the Shelby’s Pest Control Hobby Stocks. All three divisions are chasing season long championship points.
Saturday night we once again pay tribute to Tyler Wolf. For the first time, the Tyler Wolf Memorial will race under the banner of the Sprint Car Challenge Tour (SCCT). The BCRA Lightning Sprints will companion the SCCT on Saturday.
Pit gate for the competitors will open at 2 PM both days. On Friday night, the front grandstand gate will open at 5 PM. On Saturday night, the front gate will open at 4 PM and be accompanied by Happy Hour from 4 PM to 6 PM. Live music, corn hole, discount drinks will entice the early arrivers.
Driver’s meeting is scheduled for 5 PM sharp on Friday and 4:30 Pm sharp on Saturday. Big car counts are expected for each night.

Silver Dollar Speedway championship points for our three separate divisions are updated and located at our website www.silverdollarspeedway.com.
This weekend we will honor Tyler Wolf who at the tender age of 20, died because of a sprint car crash that took place at Calistoga Speedway in October of 2012. Since then, the Silver Dollar Speedway has honored this young man. Wolf won three sprint car main events in his career, all at Silver Dollar. His final regular-season win took place on Aug. 25, 2012, for which he was awarded the perennial 6-foot Pepsi trophy for that race.
Wolf was 19 and raced in a black No. 19 sprint car when he won the 2011 track title at Silver Dollar Speedway, becoming the youngest sprint car champion in the track’s history. Chuck Wolf said a new Tyler Wolf Memorial shirt is being made for Saturday. Extra financial incentives for the winged 360 sprint car drivers will be plentiful during the Wolf Memorial. Those details will be released once everything gets solidified from those generous sponsors.
