CHICO, Calif., July 11, 2024…On Friday, July 19, we will honor, celebrate, and remember former sprint car champion Tyler Wolf at Silver Dollar Speedway. The Sprint Car Challenge Tour and the Hobby Stock division are scheduled to entertain our passionate fans of dirt track racing.
On October 28, 2012, Redding driver Tyler Wolf’s fast-rising sprint car career was halted when he lost his life after hitting the turn two wall at Calistoga Speedway. Wolf was the youngest 410 Sprint Car Track Champion at Silver Dollar having won the title in 2011 at just 19 years old. To honor him, the Silver Dollar Speedway started the Tyler Wolf Memorial in 2013.
Former winners of this event include 2013 Andy Forsberg, 2014 Rico Abreu, 2015 Jonathan Allard, 2016 Kyle Hirst, 2017 Kyle Hirst, 2018 Tanner Thorson, 2019 Sean Becker, 2021 Andy Forsberg, 2022 Tanner Carrick, 2023 Landon Brooks.
This year, the race will intertwine with the Sprint Car Challenge Tour (SCCT) Speedweek that starts in Oregon and concludes at Placerville Speedway on Saturday night July 20.
Chuck Wolf will offer a $200 bonus for fast time. Chuck is also bringing a new batch of Tyler Wolf memorial shirts to sell Friday night of the race.
