🏁 ONE FINAL LAP — REMEMBERING ROGER MILLER 🏁

Last night at Petaluma Speedway, three cars took to the track for a special Memorial Lap honoring Roger Miller.

Leading the tribute was Roger’s own race car, driven by his daughter Ryann Miller, alongside Mitch Machado and Sid Hess.

Roger wore many hats over the years — racer, business owner, track official and push truck operator — but above all, he was one of the kindest and most gentle people you could ever hope to know. He was always willing to lend a hand and was truly part of what made the racetrack feel like family.

Seeing Roger’s car make its way around the Petaluma 3/8-mile one more time, with his daughter behind the wheel and two fellow racers alongside her, was a fitting tribute to a man who meant so much to so many.

One final race. One final lap.
And this time, the checkered flags are waiting for you in Heaven. 🏁🙏

Roger Miller — 2/6/60 – 8/17/26

Rest easy, Roger. You will never be forgotten.

🏁 MINI STOCKS — TOM BROWN CAPTURES ANOTHER PETALUMA SPEEDWAY CHAMPIONSHIP! 🏁

Championships aren't always won by the driver who collects the most checkered flags. Sometimes they're won through consistency, determination, and making every single point count.

For Tom Brown, every point mattered.

The multi-time Petaluma Speedway Track Champion entered the final points race of the season holding just a six-point advantage over Randy Miramontez, setting the stage for a championship showdown that would go all the way down to the final checkered flag.

Brown began the night with a second-place finish in his heat race, but with Miramontez right on his heels in the standings, there was little room for error.

In the Main Event, Miramontez did everything he could to take the championship, racing his way to the feature victory. Jason Higgins finished second, while Brown crossed the line in third.

When the final points were tallied, an entire season came down to the smallest margin possible...

🔥 ONE SINGLE POINT! 🔥

Tom Brown edged Randy Miramontez by just one point to capture the 2026 Petaluma Speedway Mini Stock Track Championship! 🏆

Brown's championship season was a model of consistency. Over 10 races, he recorded an incredible seven runner-up Main Event finishes along with two third-place finishes.

His heat-race record was equally impressive:

🔥 6 Heat Race Wins
🥈 3 Second-Place Finishes
🥉 1 Third-Place Finish

That's 10 heat races and 10 top-three finishes.

And now Brown adds another championship to an already impressive Petaluma Speedway resume:

🏆 2018 Track Champion
🏆 2021 Track Champion
🏆 2022 Track Champion
🏆 2023 Track Champion
🏆 2024 Track Champion
🏆 2026 Track Champion

That's six Petaluma Speedway Track Championships, including an incredible five championships in the last six seasons.

Miramontez may have won the final battle, but Brown's season-long consistency ultimately won the war.

After 10 races, seven runner-up Main Event finishes, six heat-race victories and a championship fight that couldn't have been much closer, Tom Brown once again sits atop the Mini Stock division.

ONE POINT was all that separated first from second.

🏁🏆 Congratulations to your 2026 Petaluma Speedway Mini Stock Track Champion — TOM BROWN! 🏆🏁

🔥🏁 SCARY MOMENT IN THE SUPER STOCK MAIN EVENT 🏁🔥

Things got way too hot for Randy Miramontez during the Super Stock Main Event at Petaluma Speedway.

Only a handful of laps into the feature, Randy’s motor expired in dramatic fashion, erupting into a huge fire and bringing a frightening early end to his night.

Thankfully, Randy was able to get out of the car quickly and is OK. 🙏

Adding even more significance to the moment, Randy was behind the wheel of a car owned by Petaluma Speedway legend and former Track Champion Larry Drews — a machine carrying plenty of history around the Petaluma 3/8-mile.

It was one of those moments that gets everyone’s attention in a hurry. Racing can change in an instant, and while the car and motor may have taken a beating, the most important part is that Randy walked away safely.

🔥 A scary and unforgettable moment in the Super Stocks at Petaluma Speedway. 🏁

🏁🔥 A DOMINANT NIGHT, A CHAMPIONSHIP BATTLE & A FIERY END FOR RANDY MIRAMONTEZ 🔥🏁

Pulling double duty Sunday night at Petaluma Speedway, Randy Miramontez put together another impressive performance in both the Mini Stocks and Super Stocks.

In the Mini Stocks, Randy entered the final night of competition locked in a tight championship battle with multi-time track champion Tom Brown, with just six points separating the two.

For the Mini Stocks Main Event, both Miramontez and Brown would line up at the tail end of the field. Once the green flag dropped, Randy wasted no time. In less than a handful of laps, he sliced and diced his way through the pack and took over the top spot. Once in the lead, he never looked back, racing his way to his 8th Feature victory of the season! 🏆

Jason Higgins would come home second, while Brown put together another impressive drive from the rear to finish third.

When the final points were tallied, Brown's third-place finish proved to be just enough. Tom Brown would edge out Randy Miramontez for the 2026 Mini Stocks Championship, bringing an incredibly close season-long battle down to the final checkered flag.

And what a season it was for Randy — 10 Mini Stocks races, 8 Feature wins and 6 Heat Race victories. An incredible 80% Feature-winning percentage on the season!

But Randy's night wasn't finished.

Pulling double duty in the Super Stocks, Miramontez started things off by picking up a Heat Race victory. Unfortunately, less than a handful of laps into the Super Stocks Main Event, Randy's motor expired in spectacular fashion, erupting into a huge fire and bringing his night to an abrupt end. 🔥

The most important news — Randy was able to get out of the car in time and was OK.

🏁 Eight Feature wins in 10 Mini Stocks races, six Heat Race wins, another Super Stocks Heat victory, and a championship fight that went right down to the wire — one incredible season for Randy Miramontez.

🏆🏁 JOEY LINGRON — 2026 REDWOOD DWARF CAR ASSOCIATION CHAMPION! 🏁🏆

Consistency wins championships, and Joey Lingron put together one heck of a consistent season at Petaluma Speedway in 2026.

Behind the wheel of his Legacy Chassis, Lingron entered the season finale with the points lead and finished the job, officially claiming the 2026 Redwood Dwarf Car Association Championship!

It marks the second championship of Lingron's career, adding the 2026 title alongside his 2024 championship.

And when you look at his season numbers, it's easy to see how he got there.

Through eight races at Petaluma Speedway, Lingron recorded one Feature victory, five runner-up finishes and one third-place finish — putting him on the podium in seven of eight Features!

His Heat Race record was even more impressive. In eight Heat Races, Joey collected four victories and four second-place finishes. That's an entire season without finishing outside the top two in a Heat Race.

The championship finale was a fitting ending to the season. Lingron battled near the front before ultimately finishing second behind Camron Diatte, giving Legacy Chassis a 1-2 finish on the night while Joey secured the biggest prize of them all — the championship.

8 Features. 7 podiums.
8 Heat Races. 8 top-two finishes.
2-time Champion.

From his 2024 title to another championship run in 2026, Joey Lingron has once again proven that championships aren't just about winning races — they're about being there week after week, race after race.

🍾 The ch*****ne was flowing, the celebration was on, and another championship was officially in the books!

🏆 CONGRATULATIONS TO JOEY LINGRON — YOUR 2026 REDWOOD DWARF CAR ASSOCIATION CHAMPION! 🏆

2024 CHAMPION • 2026 CHAMPION 🏁

🏁 CAMRON DIATTE DOES IT AGAIN — SIXTH FEATURE WIN OF 2026! 🏁

Camron Diatte added another victory to an already impressive 2026 season last night, charging from the outside of the third row to capture the Redwood Dwarf Car Association Feature win at Petaluma Speedway.

With 19 cars taking the green flag, Diatte had some work to do from his sixth starting position. It took him a few laps to work his way through the front runners, battling his way around Joey Lingron and David Hays before taking command of the race.

Once Diatte found his way to the front, there was no looking back.

🏁 CHECKERED FLAG — CAMRON DIATTE! 🏁

The victory marked Diatte's sixth Feature win of the 2026 season, an impressive number considering he's competed in only part of the season. His six victories have come at two different tracks — four at Petaluma Speedway and two at Watsonville Speedway.

And Diatte's night wasn't just about the Feature. Earlier in the program, he picked up a second-place finish in Heat Race #3 before putting together the winning drive when it mattered most.

Behind Diatte, newly crowned 2026 Petaluma Speedway Track Champion Joey Lingron brought it home in the runner-up position, while Darren Fridolfs completed the podium in third.

It was also another big night for Legacy Chassis, with Legacy cars occupying the top two finishing positions in the Feature with Diatte taking the win and Lingron finishing second.

🔥 Partial season. Six Feature wins. Two tracks. One impressive 2026 campaign for Camron Diatte.

🏆 CAMRON DIATTE — REDWOOD DWARF CAR ASSOCIATION FEATURE WINNER! 🏆
