Schedule Adjustments for JFM - Farewell to Kings Speedway

We will be in Ventura this Saturday July 19th for a USAC West Coast 360 race!

The CRA / Midget at Kings Speedway has been cancelled.

With Kings Speedway leaving the 17th of this month, three of the scheduled races on the JFM Schedule have been cancelled including the race this weekend in Hanford. However, JFM will be in Ventura with point’s leader Markus Niemelä for a combined VRA 360 Sprint Cars and the USAC West Coast 360 Series Sprint Cars event! More information on that race tomorrow!

Two of the scheduled races at Kings, the Cotton Classic and Dirt Nationals, have been moved to the Thunderbowl in Tulare. We have made the adjustments to the JFM Schedule for the 3 remaining races on our schedule and will put out updates to the schedule if we plan to hit another venue in lieu of those cancelled races.


Please see the Schedule for updated information. We apologize if this made for any inconvenience.

Thunderbowl Raceway, Tulare, CA
HONDA USAC WESTERN MIDGETS
USAC WEST COAST SPRINTS

Niemela will bring his 39 point lead in the West Coast Sprint Car Series to continue his pursuit of the title. Niemela and 2014 have worked together to put together some great races and results. Coming off a 3rd just 2 weeks back right here and placing in the top 4 the last 4 races running, Markus will be looking for the win and to widen the gap in the points race. Niemela will be in the Spike #73 Sprint.

Trey Marcham

Marcham out of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma leads the Western Midget Dirt Series, second in the Western Midgets and is coming off a WIN in his last race early this month on May 3rd at Bakersfield Speedway! 2014 obviously has been good for Trey as well. Marcham will be piloting a King Racing Products / Berry Pack / A & A Precision CNC Machine Midget TCR #73.

Thunderbowl Raceway
The ‘Lightning Fast’ 1/3 mile clay oval Thunderbowl Raceway is at the Tulare County Fairgrounds.

We’ll be updating throughout the race as always.

Josh Ford Motorsports in 2014 | SCHEDULE | DRIVERS | FOCUS


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.

We will have the skilled wheelman Nic Faas out of Huntington Beach, running the CRA and West Coast races while the talented Marcus Niemela from Rauma, Finland will be running the West Coast and some of the CRA as well. Both of these drivers are very well known and have been racing in some form or another from a very early age. These two drivers are veterans, we have high aspirations for them and are thrilled to have them in our racing family for the 2014 racing year!! @nic_faas | @markusniemela


Josh Ford Motorsports will be in several NON-USAC sanctioned events throughout the year as well as some National races, though we will be focused on the CRA and West Coast Series’. We have not finalized our 2014 Schedule just yet, though our intentions are to run every race in each of these series’ and race for points.
