Placerville, CA\u2026The biggest season thus far for the Sprint Car Challenge Tour gets underway this Saturday with a visit to the always action-packed Placerville Speedway for the \u201cSpring Fever Frenzy.\u201d<\/p>\n
 This weekend\u2019s event launches a 16-race campaign for the Sprint Car Challenge Tour presented by Elk Grove Ford and Abreu Vineyards. It also marks the first of two appearances at the popular El Dorado County Fairgrounds venue, which is located just a short drive from the capital city of Sacramento.<\/span><\/p>\n
 With the www.shopkylelarson.com<\/a> full-time Bonus automatically factored in, this Saturday\u2019s 35-lap feature will hand out $3,000-to-win and $400-to-start. A solid field of Winged 360 Sprint Cars are expected to converge upon the red clay and help the Sprint Car Challenge Tour open its fifth overall season of competition.<\/span><\/p>\n
 Last season SCCT was as competitive as it gets, with 10 different drivers finding victory lane in the 13 events held. Fremont\u2019s Shane Golobic led the way with a trio of triumphs, including the final race of the year in Stockton.<\/span><\/p>\n
 Foresthill\u2019s Ryan Robinson and Weiher Racing put together an extremely consistent season however, by earning top-10 finishes in all but one race. The combination also earned eight top-five\u2019s, including their first career SCCT victory on October 16th at Petaluma Speedway.<\/span><\/p>\n
 Robinson ended up bringing home the $10,000 championship over Roseville\u2019s Colby Copeland, Clarksburg\u2019s Justyn Cox, Roseville\u2019s Sean Becker and Auburn\u2019s Andy Forsberg. Last year\u2019s Spring Fever Frenzy at the Placerville bullring saw Lincoln\u2019s Tanner Carrick earn his first career SCCT victory.
