CLS Member Communication December 2, 2024. What an incredible (and challenging) end to our 2024 season last week! Mother Nature threw some curveballs our way, but we powered through the muddy pits, and the Bakersfield crew provided a fantastic track for racing. A huge thank you to the entire staff at Bakersfield Speedway and to all the competitors who participated! A special shout-out to our Hard Charger and Heat Race winner sponsors, Iron Alliance Engineering Inc. and "The Italian Stallion" PJ Benedetti.
