Kids Night will be joined by Johnny Brazil and the Vintage Winged Modifieds, Presented by Ghirardelli and Stockton Food 4 Less

This Saturday, August 14th, NASCAR Whelen All American Racing Series returns on Kids Night with the Western Late Models, Grand American Modifieds, Vintage Winged Modifieds featuring Johnny Brazil, Bombers, Basically-4-Cylinders, Legends of the Pacific, Bandoleros, Mini Cups and Figure 8 Racing.  Plus Big Wheel races for the Kids.  All this action will be Presented by Ghirardelli and Stockton Food for Less.

Johnny Brazil is a name synonymous with short-track racing, and especially so when it comes to Stockton 99 Speedway.  Although he holds many records, the most impressive came on June 1st, 1985 when Brazil, in a Super Modified, fired off a blazing time of 11.899.  It goes without saying, that record still holds strong to this day.  In 1960, Brazil won his first Championship at the Speedway, and, it wasn’t until 1969 before his second would come, but he ran off three in a row from 69-71.  Over the years he compiled 93 Fast Times, 125 Heat Wins, 84 Dash Wins, 99 Main Wins, 314 Overall Wins and 699 Total Top Finishes.  Impressive would be a huge understatement and wouldn’t go over well with many in the racing community today.  Brazil has been such a large part of Stockton’s History, the Speedway has decided to give back to him in the form of honoring him this Saturday on Johnny Brazil Night at the Races.  Brazil will be present as will be the car he drove to so much glory.  At least twelve Vintage Winged Modifieds will be on hand to put on a show for the fans in the stands to relish and reminisce.  This group is led by Art Gustafson and all the cars are from stars past.  Revamped, and ready to rumble.
