FIVE TRACK CHAMPIONS CROWNED IN FINALE AT STOCKTON’S DELTA SPEEDWAY
STOCKTON, CALIFORNIA (October 5, 2026) – Champions were crowned for both the 2026 Delta Speedway and King of California seasons in a busy night in Stockton on Saturday night, with nearly 90 competitors in action on the 1/7th mile dirt track. Stockton’s Nikko Panella swept the Non-Wing and Super 600 features for the third consecutive night to wrap up a championship sweep in both classes. Photos by Bob Messer
TK O’Brien led Non-Wing qualifying while heat races were won by Jeffrey Pahule, Panella, and Cameron Paul. Fresno’s Colton Key dominated the 30-lap feature while Panella chipped away at the field from fifth on the grid. A caution with three laps to go set up a shootout between Panella and Key. Panella used the low side to sneak underneath Key on the backstretch on the final lap. Panella led just the final set of corners for victory followed by Key, Brody Rubio, Jarrett Heimlich, and O’Brien.
On the winged Super 600 side, Panella cruised from the outside front row to a comfortable victory in the 25-lap affair. Polesitter Logan Trevino finished second while fast-time qualifier Alex Panella finished third. Fresno’s Raio Salmon and Arizona’s Jaxon Porter rounded out the top-five. Nikko Panella also won the heat race.
Another strong A-Class field competed with 25 entries on hand. Cruz Farrell was the quickest in time trials while Danika Jo Faccinto, Alex Ranuio, and Dash Duinkerken won the heat races. Jackson Tardiff prevailed in the B-Main. Cody Key started on the pole position in the 25-lap feature and would not be denied, topping Lucas Mauldin of Rancho Murieta for the win. TK O’Brien finished third ahead of Duinkerken and Wade Boertje. O’Brien wrapped up the A-Class Delta Speedway championship with the third place finish.
Restricted attracted a similarly impressive crowd of 24 young racers in action. Jaxson Evett was the quickest in qualifying. Camryn Blackshere, Cash Brooks, and Haven Sherman led heat race action. Tatum Kriegel then scored in the B-Main.
The 25-lap feature saw Miles Boertje hound the back bumper of Cash Brooks throughout the first half of the feature. Boertje then pounced on the inside on the backstretch to nab the lead with 11 laps remaining. Boertje topped Tyce Domingos, Charlotte Martella, Brooks, and Maya Maudlin at the checkered flag. Mauldin claimed Delta Speedway’s Restricted track championship honors.
Lee Uzzell, the incoming King of California Jr. Sprints points leader, soared to victory in a 20-lap feature. Uzzell won both of the heat races before the main event as well. Uzzell started fourth but immediately charged into the lead by lap five. Jayden Carey of Ripon finished second ahead of Lucas Fenn and Logan Fenn, both of Oakley, with Dylan Smith in fifth. Lucas Fenn earned the 2026 Delta Speedway Jr. Sprints track championship.
Delta Speedway in Stockton has one exciting weekend of Micro Sprint racing remaining with Turkey Bowl XXVII on tap October 23-24. In addition to all five divisions of Micro Sprints competing, the Bay Cities Racing Association Midgets will be competing across the two days of action.
