Last year’s ‘Vermeil Classic’ we had Bryan Clauson taking 3rd in the and Kyle Larson winning!

This year we again have some of the top drivers with Robert Ballou in the #73 Sprint, Kevin Thomas Jr. in the #73x Sprint and Trey Marcham in the #73 Midget.

Trey Marcham from Oklahoma City will be leading the Midgets into Calistoga this Saturday. Trey currently out front in the Western Midget Dirt and overall Western Midget Series point’s races! Marcham has won twice, placed 2nd twice and taken 3rd in his last 6 midget races! Trey was runner up in Petaluma on August 9th. Marcham will be wheeling the JFM #73 Midget.

Kevin Thomas Jr. coming out of Indianapolis, Indiana, is coming off a 2nd place USAC CRA finish on August 16th driving for JFM for the first time this year at Perris Speedway. KT has been running both the AMSOIL National Sprints and the National Midget Dirt in 2014. Saturday Thomas was 6th in Kokomo and then Monday, final day of the Sprint Car Smackdown III, won his heat race and finished 8th. KT will pilot the King Racing Products / Berry Pack #73x Sprint.

Robert Ballou also hangs his hat in Indianapolis, Indiana. Ballou is currently 9th in the AMSOIL National Sprint Series, winning in Putnamville in July and just Monday was runner up in the 40 lap feature in Kokomo, Indiana at Smackdown 3! Driving for JFM in 2011, Robert won his first career Amsoil USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series right here on the opening night of the 4th Annual Louie Vermeil Classic! Ballou will drive the JFM #73 Sprint.

Faas and JFM are heading to Calistoga this weekend for the first Western Classic Racing Series race of 2014!

USAC Western Classic Racing Series
Calistoga Speedway | Calistoga, CA
April 5th and 6th

‘Cali Ace’, Nic Faas, Huntington Beach, CA, piloting the JFM King Racing Products / A & A Precision CNC Machine / Berry Pack #73’s has made the podium 3 times in three races!! If that’s not enough, Nic has placed in the top ten in the last 7 races he’s started, 2nd in the USAC CRA points race and 4th in the West Coast Sprint Car Series points race!

When we started the season we stated we were going to try and run all the WCSC, all the CRA, many of the Midget and Classic races. Well we said, “JFM is putting together a 2014 Schedule geared toward competing strongly in both the USAC CRA Sprint Car Series and the West Coast Sprint Car Series.” The JFM drivers this year are running in the top 5 in all the West coast sprint series’, Faas in two different classes!

Josh Ford Motorsports, with the talented Ryan Bernal out of Hollister, won the points race for the Western Classic Racing Series last year.

"2014 will begin a new chapter for USAC’s Northern California traditional sprint car division. The WCRS has adopted the same successful rules package currently in use by the USAC West Coast Sprint Cars."
L. Jennings - Hosehead Forums

This is the first time at Calistoga that points will only be earned under the USAC Western Classic banner at this ½ mile, celebrated “Home of the Louie Vermeil Classic” track.

$2000 will go to the winner on both Saturday and Sunday. Gates open at 3pm. Racing starts at 7pm Saturday and 6pm Sunday.
