Brody Roa Is Ready to Pass More Cars Saturday at The PAS

Cypress, CA - September 24, 2025 — When it comes to spotting a driver charge through the field at Perris Auto Speedway this Saturday night, when the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series visits, fans can easily find the bright green #91R of Brody Roa. In six starts on the Riverside County clay oval this season, Roa has advanced his position in five of them. The lone exception came on June 21st when a crash took him out of the main event while battling for the lead.

In the five races he has completed, the 34-year-old from Garden Grove, California, has an average starting spot of 11.4. He has only started 10th or better two times. His average finish is 6.6, and he has gained a total of 26 positions for an average of 5.2 spots gained per race.

While known as a top star, Roa has never been known for his qualifying. However, he has earned nine Woodland Auto Display Fast Time awards during his USAC/CRA career. His first fast time came at the Santa Maria Speedway on June 6, 2014, and his last was at the Mohave Valley Raceway on May 6, 2023. He has outqualified the field at Perris on four occasions. The last of those was on August 21st, 2021.

This year, he is competing with a Dash 12 engine, giving up some horsepower to his rivals. His average qualifying spot at Perris is 10.33, which means he is starting mid-pack in most of the 30-lap main events. However, the 2023 series champion makes up for it with racing savvy and his ability to slice through traffic.

"It is something that is a trend," Roa said. "When we do qualify bad, we do not let it mess up our night now. It is what it is. We just look at each other and say, 'let's go racing.' It is always something I have kind of dealt with. I am stuck in that qualifying problem until the end of time I think."

Starting in the middle of the field, Roa and his crew have decisions to make, including on whether to set the car up for early or late track conditions.

"I would kind of like to say both," Roa answered on how the team sets his car up for the main when he is coming from mid-pack. "I guess more for the beginning of the race. I like to make our car maneuverable. At the beginning, with traffic, you can probably not get up and bang the cushion too hard with cars in the way in front of you. I run everything, maybe a little freer to start. Just to be able to turn back across the track, to hit some slick, and to hit something off the bottom. Just to be able to move around the track. Once you get up to the guys toward the top five, then you adjust the thing to where you need to be."

"Perris this year has been different from visit to visit," he continued. I don't know if that is a factor of me running just once a month and not being super sharp on it right off the bat. That last race at Perris, with the Outlaws, kind of threw me for a loop for a little bit in the feature. I thought we would be able to get up and run around the curb. But the thing was so big, and it was slick, too. It took longer for the non-wing cars to get up there."

"Honestly, with this DRC that we got a couple of years ago, I just show up to the track the exact same way every time," Roa boasted. "That was what we did all through 2023 (when he won the championship). It did not really matter what track we went to or what the conditions were. We adjusted the tire pressure a little to start the night, but the basic car setup was the same everywhere."

The last time out at Perris two weeks ago, he qualified 14th, finished second in his eight-lap heat race, and started 14th in the A main. He steered forward six positions to finish eighth.
