Silver Dollar Speedway, a 1/4-mile high-banked clay oval in Chico, California, will be promoted by Cup champion Kyle Larson and three-time World of Outlaws champion Brad Sweet.
Both drivers’ childhood homes are less than two hours away from the track.
“I’m so excited to be a part of the future at Silver Dollar Speedway,” said Larson in a statement from the track. “I’ve spent many days at Silver Dollar as a fan and driver, and have been lucky enough to win some of their big races. It is a special place, and I’m eager to help grow it back into one of the nation’s top dirt tracks.”
“Our goal is to continue to provide entertaining, exciting auto racing and introduce new ideas to enhance the fan and driver experiences,” said Sweet in a statement from the track. “I’ve always loved Silver Dollar Speedway. Some of my fondest childhood memories are of the Gold Cup (Race of Champions). I’ve learned a lot about the racing business the last eight years on the Outlaw tour and I have promoted some races along the way.”
Sweet will be in charge of the track’s day-to-day operations. Colby Copeland, a racer, is a third member of the Sweet Larson Copeland Promotions team. He’ll serve as a point of contact for the promoters, drivers, and fans.
Since 1962, Silver Dollar Speedway has been in operation. The Gold Cup Race of Champions is held on the track.
