HANFORD, Calif. — The Sprint Car Challenge Tour is locked and loaded to take part in the annual Peter Murphy Classic this Saturday, May 13 at Kings Speedway – Powered by Keller Motors.
The Classic marks the first of two SCCT visits this season to the popular Hanford, California facility. The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour presented by Abreu Vineyards is excited to compete alongside the NARC 410s on Saturday at the King of the Dirt Tracks.
The SCCT event will be broadcast live on SPEED SPORT affiliate CaliDirt.tv.
The PMC is organized by retired racer Peter Murphy, who suffered injuries during a racing crash at Antioch Speedway on July 20, 2013. The accident ultimately forced him to step out of the seat, having suffered a traumatic brain injury, ligament damage in his neck, shoulder and knees, along with a compressed T-3 vertebra.
The following year he arranged the inaugural Peter Murphy Classic and received rave reviews for it. This season will be the ninth edition of the event and it’s shaping up to be one of the best yet. Unlike years past however, both nights will be held at Kings Speedway, with the NARC Series launching things Friday.
“I really want this weekend to be a memorable one for all the fans and teams once again,” said Murphy, who now fills the role of Promoter at Kings Speedway. “I still can’t thank everyone enough for all they did after my accident. This is a way for me to continue giving back and show how much I appreciate the sport we all love. We’re excited to have SCCT as part of the Peter Murphy Classic on Saturday with NARC.”
