Saturday is the largest event of the season at All American Speedway as drivers in the ARCA Menards Series West compete in the NAPA Auto Parts 150.<\/p>\n
NASCAR’s here, the fans are here, and so is a boost for local businesses. <\/p>\n
“This is our main event. This is our Super Bowl. This is our Daytona 500 here in Northern California,” said Tim Huddleston with All American Speedway.<\/p>\n
As the speedway celebrates its 70th anniversary, it’s also revving up for the return of its annual NASCAR race, a tradition that’s been going strong for nearly 15 years.<\/p>\n
“I can’t even count how many times I’ve been here. It’s a really exciting race, a lot of cars, loud engines,” said Roseville resident Emilio Gonzalez.<\/p>\n
Drivers met with fans prior to the big event. <\/p>\n
“I’m glad we’re making it a good year and we’re going to try to get a win here tonight at All American Speedway,” said Jake Bollman, a driver.<\/p>\n
This is one of NASCAR’s roughly 20 stops around the country. <\/p>\n
“We’re like a small town, you know? It’s pretty cool NASCAR is recognizing Roseville, to be here,” said Roseville resident Jose Hernandez.<\/p>\n
Huddleston said this event “brings tens of thousands of dollars” annually to the city’s economy. He said the event is a sellout, with people flying in from all over the country to see the roughly 60 teams race the track.<\/p>\n
“Roseville is a great community. I’ve been here for five years now and it’s been exploding the past five years, and I welcome people coming to visit and to move here,” said Roseville resident Matt Regan.<\/p>\n
