PLACERVILLE, Calif. — Placerville Speedway will begin their Hoosier Tires championship season on Saturday night. Last year saw Andy Forsberg earn an unprecedented ninth Thompson’s Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Car championship on the red clay. Hanford’s Michael Faccinto will be another favorite wheeling the F&F Racing X1 entry, which he drove to his first career winged sprint car victory last July. A host of other teams will be vying for victory on opening night this Saturday, as the track kicks off the first of 14 point races for the Winged Warriors. Last season saw Nick Baldwin put together another robust campaign with the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks. Wingless sprint cars will grace the red clay on six occasions this season, first of which is Saturday’s championship opener.
