THE 13TH WOLF MEMORIAL FAN AND RACE TEAM INFORMATION
Contact: SLC Promotions, [email protected]
CHICO, Calif., July 12, 2026…This Friday, July 17, Silver Dollar Speedway will honor, celebrate, and remember former sprint car champion Tyler Wolf and his father, Chuck Wolf, during the 13th running of the Wolf Memorial. Fans will be treated to an exciting night of racing featuring the Sprint Car Challenge Tour (SCCT) and the Rental Guys Hobby Stock division.
On October 28, 2012, Redding driver Tyler Wolf's fast-rising sprint car career was tragically cut short following an accident at Calistoga Speedway. Wolf made history in 2011 by becoming the youngest 410 Sprint Car Track Champion at Silver Dollar Speedway, capturing the title at just 19 years old.
This past offseason, the racing community lost another champion with the passing of Chuck Wolf. Chuck played a vital role throughout Tyler's racing career and, following Tyler's passing, continued fielding a sprint car at Silver Dollar Speedway for many years. Last season, Chuck celebrated atop the podium alongside race winner Andy Forsberg. Little did anyone know that would be the final time Chuck would be at Chico. Together, Tyler and Chuck Wolf embodied what it meant to be champions both on and off the racetrack. Their legacy continues to inspire, and they are deeply missed by the entire racing community.
