NorCal Legends And Upstate Modifieds Visit RAR This Weekend
Race three of the 2026 season at Redwood Acres Raceway is set for this Saturday. Zabel Trucking will present the evening’s event which will feature the first of two visits for both the NorCal Legend Series and the Upstate Modified Series. Local bombers, mini stocks and the Dirt 4 Bangers will also be racing.
Saturday’s NorCal Legend race at the Acres will be the seventh of the season for the touring series. Zach Sansom, Tanner Reif, Jeremy Doss and Trey Daniels have been the victors of the seasons’ six events thus far. Of those drivers, Daniels is the only one that is competing for the season-long championship and is the current point leader coming off back-to-back victories at Ukiah Speedway in Ukiah on May 16 and at All-American Speedway in Roseville on June 13.
Local fan favorite Brandon White will also be a heavy favorite when it comes to potential winners for Saturday’s feature. Although White is winless in the series in 2026, he was victorious in both NorCal events last season and he won the most pervious Legends feature at the Acres during Fair Night on June 20. Sebastopol’s Cody Winchel is the defending series champion and has been successful at the Acres in the past. Winchel will almost certainly be a factor on Saturday night along with other top stars Kai Lovell of Ukiah and Kylie Daniels of Fort Bragg.
It will be the second of four races for the Upstate Modified Series season on Saturday. Cloverdale’s Ryan Southard was the winner at Ukiah Speedway on May 16. Luke Hall placed second in that event and is the defending champion of the series. Hall will be the odds-on favorite for Saturday’s 45-lap main event.
Practice is scheduled Friday from 5:00 PM to dark. Grandstands open Saturday at 3:30 PM with qualifying starting at 4:00 PM and racing starting at 5:00 PM. Pre-sale tickets for Saturday are available at Don’s Rent-All in Eureka, JC Auto in Fortuna and McKinleyville Barbershop in McKinleyville.
