Race fans are encouraged to get outdoors and enjoy a summer of motorsports kicking off this Saturday night at Madera Speedway with third round of the RACER Network-televised 51FIFTY Jr. Late Model Series and Mission Pro Late Model Series at the fastest one-third mile in the west. Both divisions will race in 70-lap features plus INEX Legends and INEX Bandoleros scheduled to race.

Main events begin at 6pm with the 51FIFTY Jr. Late Model race green flag slated for approx. 8pm. Adult tickets are just $20, seniors and military are $15, youth ages 6-12 are $10 and kids five and under are free. All tickets will be sold at the track ticket booth.

Through two races for the 51FIFTY Jr. Late Model Series, the drivers ages 10-16 years old have thrilled crowds with two exciting first-time winners. Georgia’s Lane Christensen dominated his series debut in the season opener for a coveted victory. The winner of the Madera Jr. Late Model Combine then led jumped ahead of the pack to lead most of the laps in the second race of the season. Washington’s Jaxon Burnett ultimately prevailed, taking the lead on a thrilling restart with just five laps remaining. Burnett then outfoxed Brexton Busch in a green-white-checkered finish for his breakthrough trip to victory lane.

Christensen’s performances have him leading the standings by nine points over Illinois rookie Keatin Lyons. Washington’s Hunter Gates ranks third followed by Busch and California’s Jarrett Dickson. Alaska’s Wyatt Flowers and Washington’s Mason Blodgett are also within 16 points of the lead in a razor tight battle for supremacy among the top-seven contenders.

The young drivers compete in a 70-lap feature under the lights on Saturday night, starting with a 40-lap opening segment followed by a break for adjustments and RACER Network interviews. A 30-lap race to the finish determines the winner.

An opening night win has been enough to preserve the points lead for Mike Hensley of Bass Lake in the Mission Pro Late Model Series. Hensley paired the win with a fifth place finish in May to build his championship leading resume. Hensley is tied with Jason Aguirre of Atwater in the standings, following Aguirre’s second place finish in round two. Round two winner Shaun Reynolds of Coarsegold is third in the standings, followed by veteran driver Rick Thompson of Fresno and Alaska’s Hunter Maier. 2024 Madera Late Model champion Trevor Schlundt of Clovis ranks sixth.

The Mission Pro Late Models will face a new challenge on Saturday night with a non-stop 70-lap feature around the speedway.

INEX Legends and INEX Bandoleros are also on tap.

Saturday pit gates open at 1:30pm with the drivers meeting at 3pm. Practice begins at 3:30pm. Qualifying hits the track at 5pm followed by heat races. Opening Ceremonies are at 6pm.
