Next Up - All American Speedway

2010 K&N Pro Series West Drivers Line Up At The All American Speedway

The All American Speedway is located at the Placer County Fairgrounds in Roseville, California. The track is approximately sixteen miles northeast of Sacramento. It was built as a quarter-mile dirt oval and rodeo stadium in 1955. Originally it was called the Roseville Speedway.

In 1972 the track was paved and renamed the All American Speedway. Three years later, fans and drivers traveled from as far away as Oregon, Washington, and Nevada to be a part of the “Rose Classic,” one of the most prestigious races on the West Coast. The race featured some of the biggest names of the era. NASCAR stars Mike Skinner, Rick Carelli, Ernie Irvan, Joe Ruttman, and Mike Chase all competed in the early years of the Rose Classic.

Renovations completed in early 2007 earned the track sanctioning by NASCAR. This brought the K&N Pro Series West to the 0.333 mile oval. The opening event on March 29, 2008 featured the West Series and sold out two days in advance with a capacity of 3,500.

In 2011, the K&N Pro Series West will race at the All American Speedway twice (April 16 and October 15). Besides the “on-track” action, fans have grown accustomed to their free fan appreciation activity before the race. On the day before the October 2010 race, promoter Bill McAnally presented the “Pick N Pull Fan Fest.”

Race haulers and race cars were on display at the fairgrounds from 5:30 p.m. until 8:30. Drivers were available for photo opportunities and autographs. The Pick N Pull Fan Fest also offered free food and beverages from Straw Hat Pizza, the opportunity for race fans to experience the thrill of being on a virtual NASCAR pit crew, inflatable jumpers, live music and a free raffle for race prizes. There were activities for every member of the family.

You can hear the roar of the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West engines on track at the All American Speedway on Saturday, April 16 for the Toyota/NAPA AutoCare 150.

Season Opener a Good Start

The sun was up and the weather mild at the one-mile oval in Avondale, Arizona. The #16 Hasa Pool Products / White Flyer / NAPA Filters Toyota Camry arrived for the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West season opener at the Phoenix International Raceway eager to start their 2011 season. The two practice sessions proved productive and driver Moses Smith finished in the top ten in the final practice.

A solid qualifying run placed Moses on the outside of row eight for the 4:30 p.m. start of the 100 lap main event. By lap 24, Smith had moved up to seventh position. During the early part of the race, the glare from the sun was a real issue. Going into turn one Moses commented that he could not see.

“The middle laps of the race were tough. I literally could not see the entry to turn one, it was a leap of faith lap after lap. Then by the time I could see turn 1 again, I could not see the exit of turn 4…gotta love that phoenix sun.” Moses elaborated.

Two pits stops, scheduled about thirty laps apart, shuffled the #16 Hasa Pool Products / White Flyer / NAPA Filters Toyota Camry towards the rear of the pack twice. The 3 Amigos Organic Blanco 100 presented plenty of action. The race, which lasted one hour and thirty-five minutes, included eight caution flags for a total of forty-one laps. However, Moses managed to steer clear of the on track crashes to return to the front.

“We were making a charge to the front, but the car tightened up just a little at the end; we finished eight. . . . a good start to the season.”

Moses would like to thanks his 2011 sponsors Hasa Pool Products, White Flyer, NAPA Filters, and Blimpie for their support and encouragement. The #16 team, led by Crew Chief Mario Isola, is looking forward to the next NASCAR K&N Pro Series race on April 16 at the All American Speedway in Roseville, California.
