"SHUGAH'" SHANE SEXTON BACK ON TRACK TONIGHT AT PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY
(Warner Springs, CA, April 27, 2024) In a late development, Warner Springs, California sprint car driver "Shugah" Shane Sexton has announced that he will be among the entries when the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars visit Perris Auto Speedway tonight, April 27th. Spectator gates to see Sexton and the remainder of the USAC/CRA drivers in action will open at 5:00 p.m. and racing will start at 7:00. Sexton has appeared at the first two races of the year at Perris. However, engine issues knocked him out of both. He was hoping to have his gorgeous GAS Chassis house car back for tonight's race, but they are still waiting for the engine to be done. Thus, he contacted Kenny Perkins and will be in one of the Perkins Motorsports entries tonight. "I just responded to his Facebook story," Sexton said. "We worked out a couple of things. It kind of went from having to pay some money, to us going to make some repairs to another chassis he has, to make it all worth it. It is a Maxim Chassis with a 360 engine. My first car, the red car I debuted in my first ever sprint car start at Kern in 2021 was a Maxim." "The pistons should be here this week, so it should be ready a couple of weeks after that," the personable driver related about his own engine. "We are shooting for the Salute to Indy race at Perris in May." Sexton, who is anxious to get back on the battlefield tonight, is not worried about being rusty. "I think I have a total of 16 laps this year," the young racer lamented. "I am ready to jump back into it. I try not to think about it (not having many laps since last year). If you do think about it too much, that is when you start messing up. So as long as I do not think about it and get in it, I can do my thing and try to make some stuff happen." Also on the horizon for Sexton is a return to Brian Fonseca's lightning sprint cars for one of the upcoming national races. In 2022, Sexton dazzled when he wheeled one of Fonseca's Savage Racing entries to a win at one of the preliminaries for the Dirt Cup in Deming, Washington, a second place in the Friday night program at the Central Missouri Speedway and a third on night two of the Hangtown 100 at Placerville. "I am doing a national with Brian, but we do not know where yet," Sexton said while prepping for tonight's race. "It will be in Washington, Missouri, or MinKota. Who knows? I always have my bag packed for him, so I am excited." Spectator gates will open at 5:00 p.m. and the first race will take the green flag at 7:00 tonight at Perris. Adult tickets for the night of exciting dirt track racing action and clean family fun are $30.00. Seniors 65 and over get in for $25.00. For kids 6-12 it is only $5.00, and children 5 and under are admitted free. Advance tickets are available online at https://www.tix.com/ticket-sales/pas/7. They can also be ordered by phone at 1-800-595-4849. For fans who do not wish to purchase tickets in advance, we will have plenty available at the ticket window on Saturday. The fairgrounds charge $10.00 for parking. The GAS Chassis Company is sponsoring the Perris Auto Speedway Young Gun Sprint Car Series in 2024. It will reward the champion with a brand-new GAS Chassis at season's end.

Lucas Oil Speedway Preseason Spotlight: Late Model veteran Walkenhorst ready for 25th year in sport
WHEATLAND, MO. (March 19, 2024) - Joe Walkenhorst will mark a quarter-century driving a race car in 2024 when the Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Model season fires up at Lucas Oil Speedway. All but one of those years spent driving a Late Model. The feeling of wheeling the high-powered car around the dirt is an experience like no other, the 56-year-old resident of nearby Elkton said. "Late Models, just the feel of them, when they're really hooked up they feel like they're gonna throw you out the right side of the seat," Walkenhorst said of the appeal. "They are just so quick and fun." Walkenhorst will be looking to build off a strong 2023 season when action in the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series begins next month. He finished fourth in points a year ago with nine top-five finishes in 17 events, though most of his best runs came in the first half of the season. "Then I don't know what happened, but something went away on the car," Walkenhorst said. "I don't know if it was a shock or the rear-end. We ended up rebuilding the front end, the rear end, the middle, went through all the shocks. Finally, the last race of the year, we got it to come back. "All in all it was decent. Not what we were shooting for, but we got some pretty stiff competition there, too." Walkenhorst, a native of Lee's Summit, began racing in 1999 driving a Super Stock at Central Missouri Speedway in Warrensburg. He grew up going to the races to watch his dad, Ed Walkenhorst, drive a Late Model at I-70 Speedway in Odesssa. "I had to wait until I could afford to race," Walkenhorst said. "That's the biggest obstacle we had to overcome to go racing. But I started racing at Warrensburg in the Super Stock, which was basically a Late Model with a Stock stub, back in the day, and we had success from the git-go. We won four or five races the first year and the next year went to Super Late Models. That was quite a learning curve." Walkenhorst has raced nearly ever year since, though not always with a full schedule due to other commitments. He moved to Elkton, six miles south of Wheatland, a few years ago after his parents retired and bought a place there. "My dad decided that living in the city wasn't where he needed to be," Joe Walkenhorst said. "He found a farm in Elkton, just six miles south of the track. I bought three aces right next to them and built a house. I'm an only child and decided I needed to be close to them when they got to the age where they needed help." The only downside is a 230-mile round trip drive each workday to his job in Kansas City. That's why Walkenhorst said it's important to have good help in preparing his car, during the week and on race nights. Tony Allen, a former crewman for national-touring drivers Jason Papich and Earl Pearson Jr., has helped him the last couple of years. Garrett Eth has come on board to help daily maintenance and prep tires. Daughter Mariah Walkenhorst has been another mainstay in helping with crew duties. "Tony Allen has been with me last couple of years," Walkenhorst said. "He got tired of going on the road. We've been friends for a while and I told him, 'if you want come wrench for me on Saturday nights I'll buy you a pit pass and a hot dog and you can still get your racing fix and don't have to travel.' He's been great helping me set up the car and make the right adjustments. "Garrett Eth is a young kid wanting to learn and I'm getting him started on tires. It's a huge help for me. During the week I'm pretty much by myself and I'm on the road four hours a day. It helps to have a young buck to help out." Walkenhorst said his goals for this season are simple as he plans to race at Lucas Oil Speedway weekly. With the class under POWRi sanction, he also plans to hit some races at the track where he started, in Warrensburg. "I definitely want to get a win, if not multiple wins, and beat Justin," Walkenhorst said of Justin Wells, who dominated at the track last season. Joe drives a Black Diamond chassis that he bought from Wells a few years ago. "We're good friends and I take my whoppings accordingly," Walkenhorst said of Wells. "He's real good people." The Big Adventure Weekly Racing Series Weekly Opener is set for April 20th with all four divisions in action. The season-opening 3rd annual Easter Bowl Enduro 150 is set for April 6. Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Models plus POWRi Midwest Mods and POWRi Pure Stocks will be in action that night.
