2016 All HammerDown! Team –December 30, 2016  Rocklin, CA.HammerDownUSA.com, today, named the 2016 All-HammerDown! Team. Led by Racer’s Racing Series Champion, Daryn Pittman, the 40 driver “team” includes those who performed best at the highest paying and most prestigious American, grass roots, open-wheel events. Five drivers continued their streak of making the All-HammerDown! Team in each of the 14 years since the honor was created in 2003. The legendary five are: Dave Darland, Danny Lasoski, Daryn Pittman, Joey Saldana, and Donny Schatz.  One driver made the team in 2016 for the first time in his career; Jamie Veal of Australia. Among the 40 drivers to receive this badge of honor is the late, Bryan Clauson.

“Bryan was the epitome of a racer’s racer,” said Bobby Gerould, editor of HammerDownUSA.com. “Bryan really helped further the philosophy that the best drivers are not limited to one discipline within open-wheel racing. He succeeded wildly in non-wing but he wanted to challenge himself to become great with a wing too.”

The All-HammerDown! Team acknowledges the drivers that performed well at big-race national events where the car count was over 30. You have to finish in the top 15 in an A-Feature to secure points. This year there were 255 drivers that earned points but only the top 40 receive the All-HammerDown! status. (read it all)

"I think Cycleland is the only place you need to go to learn how to race." - Rico Abreu.

It is not as if Cycleland Speedway is, or ever was, a secret. The track, located south of Chico with an Oroville address, has been at its present location since ground was broken in 1960. The recent success of Cycleland graduates Kyle Larson, Brad Sweet, Rico Abreu, Tyler Reddick, Kyle Hirst, and Sean Becker - just to name a few, however, has helped to bring a fresh abundance of enthusiasm for the eighth-mile dirt track known as “THE perfect proving ground” (Larry Shelton’s term).
