Seven California Tracks Join Forces for New RaceSaver Tour in 2027 By Ben Deatherage VINTON, Iowa (Aug. 13, 2026) — RaceSaver IMCA Sprint Car racing in California will take a big step forward in 2027 with the formation of a new seven-track tour bringing together some of the state's best-known dirt tracks. The California IMCA RaceSaver Tour will feature a 14-race schedule spread across some of the best California facilities and most successfully promoted venues: Bakersfield Speedway at Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway, Kings Speedway in Hanford, Merced Speedway, Perris Auto Speedway, Santa Maria Speedway, Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, and Watsonville Speedway. "Anytime you can get seven tracks in a region to come together and work with each other, it's going to be a huge success," said IMCA Vice President Jim Stannard. "This has been something that we have wanted to see in California for a long time." In addition to the 14 tour events, the participating tracks will host additional RaceSaver IMCA Sprint Car competition throughout the 2027 season. Between tour stops and other sanctioned events, drivers will have the opportunity to compete in as many as 25 races at the seven facilities that count toward Speedway Motors IMCA Weekly Racing National and California State points. The cooperative effort will give competitors a unified touring schedule while providing professionally run events at each participating track. Drivers will also have the opportunity to pursue Speedway Motors IMCA Weekly Racing National and California State championships throughout the season. The complete 14-race schedule, along with additional information regarding the new tour, will be announced at a later date. IMCA
