NARC 410 Sprint Car Series are preparing for their highest-paying race of the 2024 season and three night of racing at Skagit Speedway during the $62,000-to-win Jim Raper Memorial Super Dirt Cup.

The 2024 Super Dirt Cup kicks off on Thursday, June 20, and wraps up on Saturday, June 22, as the Skagit Valley will roar with non-stop thrills and heart-stopping action on the historic 3/10-mile clay oval.

Car counts are expected to be in the 45-plus range as teams from all over the Western United States and Canada converge on the Alger 3/10-mile clay oval. Thursday and Friday are reserved for preliminary nights to help determine who gets locked into the big dance on Saturday.

Not only does Justin Sanders return as the reigning Dirt Cup champion, but the Aromas ace has also been one of the toughest to beat on the NARC 410 Sprint Series roster. Dialing in a new chassis with their engine package has paid big dividends, as he has been lights out fast at many shows this year.

Zeb Wise is undoubtedly hoping to park the famed Rudeen Racing #26 in victory lane on the last night of action. The Angola, Indiana native threatened eventual winner Sanders during the grand finale. It would no doubt be a massive win for the young man’s career.

Trey Starks is undoubtedly one of the local favorites for Dirt Cup yet again. Hailing from Puyallup, Washington, the two-time defending 410 champion has managed to win three out of five features at Skagit and has yet to finish outside the Top 5 at the facility this year.

Last year’s polesitter, Dominic Scelzi, is hungry to add a 410 Dirt Cup to his resume. The Fresno racer and two-time NARC champion has a lot of laps at Skagit, including some this year when he made a rare cameo on June 8th during a local 410 show.

Fresno’s Corey Day will look to finish what he started last year, winning the Dirt Cup for the Jason Meyers Racing team. The 2023 NARC champion, who also races full-time with the High Limit Series, won both prelim nights and almost pulled off the rare feat of sweeping the entire three-weekend weekend. The last driver to win all three nights of the Dirt Cup was Brent Kaeding in 1996.

Jason Solwold is another top choice. The Burlington, Washington veteran has a lot of experience at Skagit and will hope to finally get a 410 Dirt Cup trophy to rack for himself and Shaylen Raye Motorsports car owner Mike Anderson.

Cole Macedo’s 2024 season has been impressive. Not only did he win the first two rounds of the NARC 410 Sprint Series, but the Lemoore, California pilot has also spent a lot of time in the Midwest with the High Limit Series and the World of Outlaws.  He claimed the Fastest Five Days in Motorsports title last week.

Leduc, Alberta driver Skylar Gee will be back home at a place where he and his father, Tim, have spent a lot of time. Spending the last few years living in the Midwest, Gee was very impressive last season at Attica Raceway Park and Fremont Speedway in Northwest Ohio.

Robbie Price is another notable to be on the lookout for. The Cobble Hill, British Columbia native, racing for Rob and Lee Leighton, has had some great runs at Skagit in 2024 and is second in the 410 points.  He captured his first ever NARC-sanctioned feature at Willamette Speedway on Saturday.

Tanner Holmes will be among the young drivers to watch for the weekend. Making the journey from Jacksonville, Oregon, Holmes was the runner-up in the Friday prelim and never finished outside of the top five finishes all three nights.

Colby Thornhill is a name on the rise regarding 410 racing in the Pacific Northwest. The Enumclaw, Washington teenager scored an incredible win at Skagit this season and is third in the 410 points table.

Other California NARC regulars expected to be on hand are Campbell’s Bud Kaeding, Fremont driver Shane Golobic, Justyn Cox from Roseville, Lincoln’s Tanner Carrick, Chase Johnson of Penngrove, Billy Aton representing Benicia, Oakley Teenager Dylan Bloomfield, and Tucson, Arizona transplant Nick Parker.  A collection of NARC rookie drivers are also in the mix including Fresno’s Caeden Steele, Lemoore’s Gauge Garcia, and Dominic Gorden from Clovis.

Other Pacific Northwest drivers to be on the lookout for will be Mill Creek’s Cam Smith, Burlington natives Justin Youngquist and Greg Hamilton, Jesse Schlotfeldt of Arlington, and Whannock, British Columbia’s Luke Didiuk. Harrisburg’s Tyler Thompson and Kinzer Cox of Creswell will also represent Oregon.

Australia will be represented in the field with Jessie Attard of Penrith, New South Wales.

All three nights of the Jim Raper Memorial Super Dirt Cup can be viewed live on FloRacing, along with the entire NARC 410 Sprint Car Series schedule.
