Located just a half hour away from his Ione, Calif. home, Placerville is where he fell in love with racing and it’s the place where he decided he wanted to become a racecar driver. In 2021, Placerville became the home of his most lucrative victory during the Hangtown 100 Presented by Matt Wood Racing, a race in which he tracked down the lead just 14 laps from the finish to score a monumental 100-lap victory in front of a standing-room only crowd.

• Willie Croft)Despite his season coming to an end in a wild way on Saturday night in Stockton, CA, Willie Croft capped off a career best season with the KWS/NARC Series as he ended up second in the championship standings and was also named Billy Albini Crew Chief of the Year for his efforts. ‘Unfortunately, our year ended with a big wreck on Saturday night,” Willie Croft said. “Looking at the big picture however, it was an extremely fun season, and I was fortunate to have 10-12 different people step up and lend me a hand on my car at various tracks through the year and they really made it all possible. To end up 2nd in points is also really something that I am proud of.” Press Releases 11/8
