NASCAR Div. 1 late model competition in Roseville sees Granite Bay's Cole Moore leading Galt's Matt Wendt by 17 points. Moore has won four main events this year while Wendt has a single win. Reno's Randy Hedrick swept the most recent main event. Two-time Madera Pro Late Model champion Matt Erickson is the other race winner in 2020. Aidan Daniels and Angelina Dempsey round out the top-fifve in the standings.
2019 champion Andrew Peeler has won three consecutive super stock races to lead Roseville's Jill Schmidt by seven points. Roseville drivers Phil Wilkins and Andrew Kemp are next in the standings, ahead of Auburn's Blake Disomma in fifth. Tim Walters of Dixon used a runner-up fifnish on Sept. 12 to move to sixth in the points.
Roseville's Ray Molina has begun to put some distance between himself and Nevada's Rich Innis in his bid to defend his F4 championship. Jerry Nunes, Vic Theberge, and Rocklin's John Sproule make up the rest of the top-fifve in the four-cylinder division.
Perhaps the closest championship battle will be in the Jr. late models, where Aidan Daniels of Fort Bragg enjoys a scant four-point lead over 2019 Bandolero champion Kenna Mitchell of Loomis. Daniels has won three times while Mitchell has a single win in her rookie campaign.
