ROSEVILLE, Calif. –The A-All Mini Storage Salute to America night at All American Speedway, powered by Roseville Toyota, delivered a pair of thrilling Late Model features for the nearly capacity crowd on Saturday night.
Kenna Mitchell and Dylan Zampa prevailed as two of the eight race winners during the busy evening at the one-third mile speedway.
The first 35-lap feature for the NASCAR Berco Redwood Late Models had on track fireworks nearly equal to the fireworks that flew above the speedway at the conclusion of the night.
Aidan Daniels led the opening three laps before 2019 track champion Jason Romero drove past him in turn one to lead lap four. Madera Speedway champion Jason Aguirre followed into the second position soon after. Undefeated points leader Zampa started fourth and worked past Aguirre for second by lap eight.
2021 series runner-up Thomas Martin spun for a caution flag on 13. Zampa used the outside to seize the lead from Romero on the restart, leading lap 16. Romero grabbed it back on lap 18 before Zampa won the battle at the point on lap 19.
Kylie Daniels and Lane Anderson each suffered spins for successive cautions. On the restart, Zampa picked the inside line and Romero went to work on the top. Zampa led lap 26 by just .002 seconds before Romero led laps 27 and 28 by a nose.
Romero cleared Zampa and got a car length of separation by lap 31. Zampa fought back, driving to Romero’s bumper as the white flag flew. Coming out of turn four for the finish, Zampa collided with Romero to send him spinning. Mitchell avoided the melee and was awarded her first career Pro Late Model victory. Bradley Erickson, Daniels, Aguirre, and Martin were scored as the top-five finishers.
Romero suffered significant front-end damage that prevented him from starting the second 35-lap feature. Kylie Daniels drove to the front of the pack with Aguirre in tow. Aguirre and Daniels tangled in turn three, sending Daniels into a spin which damaged her front end to eliminate her from the event on lap 17. Aguirre restarted at the rear as well.
Erickson inherited a lead which Zampa quickly took away on the outside on the restart. Zampa drove off for his eighth NASCAR Late Model win of the season followed by Mitchell, Erickson, Martin, and Daniels.
The Foothills Tow Modifieds enjoyed their closest battle of the season with Brandon White prevailing for the second time in 2022 in the 30-lap feature.
Josh Whitfield won his fifth Riebes Auto Parts Super Stocks feature of the season.
Vic Theberge won his second career F4 feature by taking the 25-lap affair.
Anderson and his team overcame a Friday practice crash to win the 30-lap Jr. Late Model feature.

For the second consecutive event, the car previously raced by the late Mike Doyle, Jr. won a Riebes Auto Parts Trailer Bash. Kenny Dretzka III won the $1,000 first place prize followed by Mick Clarke in the 15-lap event.
