USCS made two stops at Bakersfield Speedway in 2025 with Bakersfield’s Brody Fuson and Camarillo’s Ricky Lewis scoring the victories. The series averaged 26 entries across the two events.
May 30 features California 305 Sprint Cars, American Stocks and National Dwarf Cars.
Western Racing Association vintage racers have been added to the action for the September 12 event along with Hobby Stocks, American Stocks, and Mini Stocks.
Slight division changes have been made to other dates on the schedule as well to prevent conflicts with other dirt tracks in the region.
Tickets for the Winter Clash featuring the season opener for the IMCA championships along with the USAC Western States Midgets on February 20-21 will go on sale on February 1.
