Tyler Wolf Memorial Sprint Car Races

The Annual Tyler Wolf Memorial Sprint Car Races are Saturday at 4pm at Silver Dollar Speedway, 2337 Fair Street.

On October 28, 2012, Redding, CA driver Tyler Wolf’s fast-rising sprint car career was suddenly halted when he lost his life after hitting the turn two wall more than 100 MPH at Calistoga Speedway. The sprint car world was shocked.  Wolf was the youngest 410 Sprint Car Track Champion at Silver Dollar having won the title in 2011 at just 19-years old.

To honor our champion, the Silver Dollar Speedway started the Tyler Wolf Memorial in 2013.  The race has been a marquee event for sprint car drivers.  Auburn’s Andy Forsberg won the first memorial event and said, “Tyler was a hard-working kid who just handled himself the right way at the track.  We knew he had a long successful career ahead of him.  It’s just a shame we all didn’t get to see how great he could have been.”

Former winners of this event: 2013 Andy Forsberg, 2014 Rico Abreu, 2015 Jonathan Allard, 2016 Kyle Hirst, 2017 Kyle Hirst, 2018 Tanner Thorson, 2019 Sean Becker.  2020 Pandemic (no race)
