Kids Night returns to the Stockton 99 Speedway with help from Tractor Supply Co. on Saturday, Sept. 20 with free games and prizes amidst an evening of racing. The five-division program, headlined by the Stockton Late Models, will be the final regular season event before two championship nights close out the 2025 season in October.

Children ages three through 15 will receive one golden ticket at the entry gate, allowing them to enjoy a dunk tank, face painting, bounce houses, snacks and more. As for the racing program, the stars of the Stockton Late Models headline the night in their second to last event of 2025.

With convincing wins in the two previous Stockton Late Model races, Sammy Solari of Escalon has built an 18-point gap to Stockton’s JoJo Stearns. Solari is seeking his third 99 track championship and first with the L5 Farming team.
