- Pokorski nets podium showing in PDTR 360 Sprint Car appearance
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) June 3, 2025 - After competing in seven consecutive Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series events to start the 2025 season, the Alex Pokorski-Akright Auto Racing Team returned to its roots to compete with the Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track and MMW Industrial Supply Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Cars for the first time this season at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, May 31. The Alex Pokorski-Akright Auto Racing Team opened the program by qualifying ninth in the 28-car field with a lap of 12.957 around the venerable third-mile clay oval. The fifth-year Sprint Car competitor then placed second from the third starting spot in the eight-lap PDTR-MSA heat race two to advance to A-main competition. "It was a little bit of an odd feeling to drive into the corner for the first time during hot laps," Pokorski said. "The 360 drives different than the 410, but it quickly became comfortable again." Following the passing points dice roll invert, the West Bend, Wis. native rolled off on the outside of the third row in the 25-lap PDTR-MSA main event. Pokorski exhibited patience in the early going as he searched for a comfortable groove to run. Eventually, he hit his stride to work past Chris Larson, Brady Portschy and Clayton Rossmann to claim third in the running order on lap 14. As the leaders negotiated thick lapped traffic in the closing stages of the race, Pokorski began to reel in Karnitz, who was running second after starting third. While outside front-row starter Ben Schmidt cruised away from the field to build up a half-way cushion as the last wound down, Pokorski went on to claim a season-best third-place finish in his 2025 PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car debut. "We were fast in the feature," he said. "I wish we would have had a caution to get a chance to race against the top two." Pokorski is set to compete with the Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing-MMW Industrial Supply Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Cars again this Friday, June 6 at The Plymouth Dirt Track in support of the NOS Energy Drink World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series, which will make its first appearance at The Plymouth Dirt Track since 2005. Pit gates open at 2 p.m. Spectator gates open at 4 p.m. with hot laps/qualifying at 6:30 p.m. and racing at 7:30 p.m. For those unable to attend, the event will be broadcast live on dirtvision.com.

- Sexton Gatlin Racing Makes Indiana Debut This Week
Lakeside, CA - June 1, 2025 — For the first time in their careers, Brent Sexton and his son Grant will be racing in Indiana this week. The Lakeside, California-based Sexton Gatlin Racing (SGR) team is set to compete in six consecutive nights of sprint car action as part of Indiana Midget Week. The series kicks off at the cozy confines of Circle City Raceway in Indianapolis. Brent, 52, and Grant, 20, are well-known names in lightning sprint car circles. Brent is a three-time lightning sprint champion, earning California Lightning Sprint Car Series titles in 1999 and 2008, and capturing the POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series championship in 2022. The latter came a year after Grant claimed the same title in 2021. In 2023, the father-son duo began shifting their focus to the high-powered 410 sprint cars in the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series. That year, Grant, then 19, earned Rookie of the Year honors, while Brent finished third in the same category in 2024. Over the past two years, SGR has adopted a "pick and choose" approach to their race schedule, and 2025 has followed suit. Brent has competed in seven events so far—five with the Ultimate Sprint Car Series (USCS) and two with USAC/CRA. His best finish to date is a fifth-place showing at Ocean Speedway with USCS on March 28. Grant has made five starts this season—three in USCS and two in USAC/CRA. His top result came at Ventura Raceway on March 8, where he finished eighth in a USCS event. "A good buddy of mine, Mark Deskovick, moved out there (Indiana) from Ramona," Sexton answered when asked why they are headed to Indiana. "He always said we should come out to visit and see what it is all about. It has been a bucket list thing, and now we are in a position to do it." "I would love to make A mains more than anything," Sexton continued. "Being a first timer, just seeing the tracks we have always dreamed about is a big deal. I am looking forward to seeing all of them. We begin at Circle City and finish at Kokomo. I cannot wait." In preparation for Indiana Midget Week, the Sextons consulted with Anaheim native and Indiana transplant Jake Swanson. Swanson shared that post-race car prep typically happens late at night due to the intense Midwest humidity. Taking his advice, the SGR team plans to service their cars in hotel parking lots after races, ensuring they rest during the day and stay cool before hitting the track each evening. Fans unable to attend Indiana Midget Week in person can catch all the action live with a Flo Racing subscription. For more details, visit FloRacing.com.

- NARC NOTEBOOK - June 3, 2025
(June 3, 2025 - Jim Allen) Auburn, CA ... There is a lot going on with the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series on the West Coast. Here are some updates from the official NARC notebook: The Fastest Five Days in Motorsports is shaping up nicely with many teams committing to the ultimate "Road Trip." The list includes Caeden Steele (121), Mariah Ede (14), Dominic Gorden (10), Tyler Thompson (35KM), Aussie James McFadden (21T), Gauge Garcia (2K), Max Mittry (2XM), DJ Netto (88N) Bud Kaeding (29), John Clark (12J), Dominic Scelzi (41), Angelique Bell (551), Billy Aton (26), Landon Brooks (21), Tanner Carrick (83V), Sean Becker (7B), Justin Sanders (2X), Tanner Holmes (18T), Geoffrey Strole (09S), Jesse Schlotfeldt (21), Blaine Cory (5K), Chris Bollock (17C), and Nick Parker (15.) We've also heard, but have not been able to confirm, that we will see Colby Thornhill and Robbie Price for the duration. Price picked off his first NARC feature of his career at Willamette in last year's edition. That's what we know so far, and that can change in a heartbeat. Usually, we find out a team is showing up when they pull through the pit gate - despite whether they committed or preregistered in advance. Several others are looking for rides, and others are doing partials (Soares & Starks). We expect some locals in 360's as well! Speaking of the Fastest Five Days in Motorsports, which is less than two weeks away, you should be locking down your tickets. You can visit each of the five track websites individually or proceed directly to the NARC King of the West MYRACEPASS site to make your purchase. Based on phone calls and inquiries, there is going to be a huge convoy of fans and motorhomes making the entire journey, right up to the Super Dirt Cup. For those of you who can't make the trip, we know you have a good reason. You can still catch all the action on Floracing.com. By the way, though a sponsorship by way of Wholesale Outlet, a Sacramento area HVAC distributor, NARC has recruited the services of KC's Extreme Motorsports Safety for the Fastest Five Days in Motorsports. They will be working in conjunction with local track crews to keep our drivers safe. Can you believe it? $100,026 to win the Jim Raper Super Dirt Cup at Skagit Speedway. It became a NARC points race in 2021 when the event transitioned back into a 410 race. It was all part of the Skagit, SLC Promotions, and NARC business plan to rebuild 410 sprint car racing on the left coast. Skagit is bright, it's clean, the food is good, it's well-promoted and has a buzz around it that it's the place to be on Saturday nights! That is a winning combination that should be cloned everywhere! The track and the Super Dirt Cup are on a trajectory equivalent to an Elon Musk rocket. Along the lines of the Super Dirt Cup, make sure you sign up for the Charity Golf Tournament taking place on Wednesday, June 18th. That is the day BEFORE the three-day racing show kicks off. We've got the entire Avalon Golf Links reserved and your entry includes golf, cart, gift bag, lunch, and great prizes. Sign-up on the Skagit Speedway website - skagitspeedway.com. Any money raised at this event will benefit the Rayce Rudeen Foundation and the NARC Benevolent Fund. There are only a few open foursome's remaining, so don't delay. First come, first served. If you haven't read the NARC Pit Personalities article on Angelique Bell, you should. Bell goes in depth about her fiery accident and extended recovery at Southern Oregon Speedway. She didn't pull any punches. Our 18-year-old columnist Michael Gilmer Jr. did an outstanding job on this interview. You can find it on NARC410.com. Activities for the August Louie Vermeil Classic at Napa County Fairgrounds are progressing rapidly. The RV Park and great lawn reservations sold out quickly. Ticket sales for the two-day show at Calistoga Speedway are selling at a rapid clip. Every time I talk to promoter Tommy Hunt, he informs me of all of the work that is taking place on the fairgrounds in preparation for the Labor Day weekend shows. Just think about if you walked away from your home for six years and did nothing during that period. The list of repairs and maintenance upon your return would be overwhelming. Calistoga Speedway is that times 10! The good news is that Tommy is ahead of the curve. It's a great feeling to get a track back into the fold, especially this one with a ton of history. Now, we just need Kings Speedway back in the mix. A conversation with Colby Copeland turned out some interesting info. There are now only TWO companies providing racetrack insurance in the United States. Two! Something tells me that we are going to see things tighten up with stronger enforcement and requirements in 410 sprint car racing. My guess: No drivers under 16, maybe 18, It was nice to see Chase Johnson back at the track. It's already been nine months since his High Limit accident. Despite all he has been through, Chase spirits are high and positive and he continues to work hard every day with physical therapy. There is still a ton of effort required on his behalf in the future to get his life back to normal. Let's continue to be his support system during his recovery. #24STRONG And how about Tyler Walker? Who? Yes, that Tyler Walker who was one of the top sprint car drivers in the nation a decade ago. He has experienced extreme highs and lows, from Kings Royal royalty to homelessness on skid row in Los Angeles. In his case, rock bottom even had a basement. However, he is back, determined to get his life back in order and is looking forward to racing sprint cars again. He mounted up in the Torgerson #02 sprint car at Placerville during the Bradway Memorial (in a 360) and didn't show much rust. You will see him in a 410 soon, probably as soon as the David Tarter Memorial in Chico. Remarkable things are in his future if he can keep it together and we support him in that mission. One of the more underrated drivers on the NARC tour may be Oregon's Tyler Thompson. He's steady, clean, and consistently advancing to the front in the Harold Main #35KM. He has got two ARP Fast Time awards in six events, two top fives, and a total of five top tens. As a result, Tyler sits third in the NARC standings and is the leading candidate for rookie of the year. To date, six NARC events have produced five winners in six-main events (the Morrie Williams Memorial event had two). DJ Netto and Justin Sanders have stolen two headlines each, and Tanner Holmes, Caeden Steele and Dominic Gorden claimed the other three. It was Tanner's second NARC win. He joked that his first NARC victory was a 13-lapper and his second was a 20. Now he is looking to score a 30-lapper soon. Don't count him out at home track: Southern Oregon Speedway. It was also the second win for Gorden, who picked off a Skagit Dirt Cup NARC preliminary last year. For Steele, it was the first NARC victory for the 2024 rookie of the year. He was solid for all 20-laps at Tulare. Looking forward, NARC features nine shows at seven tracks during June, our busiest month of the season. It doesn't get much better than that! The Howard Kaeding Classic is shaping up to fall into the "best ever" category. The new "two-day" show takes place on July 18-19th at Ocean Speedway. Saturday's feature baseline is paying $6,900 to win and $1200 to start the A. And baseline means exactly that - the starting point. It's only going UP! If you would like to get involved as a sponsor, contact the one and only Bud Kaeding at Kaeding Performance. He is waiting for your call at 408-371-3031. Special thanks to Karen Bradway-Tuccelli and the entire Bradway Family for their tremendous efforts in promoting and raising money for May 31st Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial race. An extra $17,000 was added to the 34th annual event purse, which continues to be one of the most popular races on the NARC schedule. A full house showed up at Placerville for a great weekend that also included the Davy Thomas Memorial. NARC officials will be sporting some special uniform shirts during the Fastest Five Days in Motorsports. We are going to give race fans the opportunity to "buy the shirts off our backs" with all funds raised going to the NARC Benevolent Fund. The shirts, available in limited quantities and sizes are designed by Jim Gardner of Bullet Impressions, featuring the custom FFDM I-5 logo and can be yours for $100. We will even wash it before we UPS it to you. That's all for now! See ya!

- NARC SPRINT CARS HEAD TO CHICO ON SATURDAY FOR THE DAVID TARTER MEMORIAL
(6/2/25 - Andrew Kunas) Chico, CA ... A busy stretch for the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series continues this Saturday with the 12th running of the David Tarter Memorial at Silver Dollar Speedway. Saturday's show, NARC's second and final visit to the Chico ¼-mile this season, honors the memory of Tarter, who died at the age of 30 in 2012 when a freak accident in the pit area took his life. The first David Tarter Memorial was run in 2013, won by Oroville's Sean Becker, and the event has since become a staple at Silver Dollar Speedway, where Tarter was a regular participant and former track rookie of the year. Saturday's 35-lap main event will pay $5,035 to win. Reigning NARC champion Justin Sanders of Aromas won last year's David Tarter Memorial on his way to the title and is expected to be one of the favorites as he was also a winner of the thrilling Mini-Gold Cup in April aboard the Mittry Motorsports No. 2x. Dominic Gorden of Clovis is coming off a big win in last Saturday's Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial at Placerville Speedway. Gorden finished 16th in April's Mini-Gold Cup, but Gorden and the Fortitude Driver Development No. 10 team is hoping his second NARC victory serves as a springboard and creates momentum for the young driver going forward. Of the 11 prior times the David Tarter Memorial has been run, former NARC champion Kyle Hirst has the most victories in the event with five checkered flags. Sanders is the only other multi-time winner of the race. WHO TO WATCH Tanner Holmes and the Tarlton Motorsports No. 21T team have seen success together this season, including one NARC victory at the Morrie Williams Memorial, but Saturday's event will be their last together for a time as Holmes will shortly return to his family's no. 18T. At that point, Australian star James McFadden will jump into the Tarlton car for the next several weeks starting with next week's Fastest Five Days in Motorsports. Holmes nearly won the Mini-Gold Cup in a thrilling finish, narrowly losing out to Sanders. Returning to Chico this weekend, the Holmes and Tarlton team are hoping to improve by one spot to close out their first run together. Shane Golobic is another driver who has had success at Silver Dollar Speedway over the years. The Fremont driver has finished in the Top 10 in each regular NARC feature this season and that includes three podium finishes. Coming off a runner-up finish in the Dave Bradway Jr Memorial, Golobic is a driver due for another NARC victory. Other drivers expected to compete this weekend include former series champion DJ Netto from Hanford, Oregon's Tyler Thompson, Fresno drivers Dominic Scelzi and Mariah Ede, Templeton's Kaleb Montgomery, Oroville's Sean Becker, Campbell's Bud Kaeding, Lemoore's Gauge Garcia, Easton's Caeden Steele, Benicia's Billy Aton, Lincoln's Tanner Carrick and many more. FAN INFO Silver Dollar Speedway is located at the Silver Dollar Fair on 2343 Fair St in Chico. BCRA Lightning sprints will be racing also. Tickets are $30 for adults, while seniors 65+ and juniors 13-17 are in for $25. Kids 12 and under are in for free. Silver Dollar Speedway will also be racing sprint cars on Friday night, giving fans two nights of racing action this weekend.

- Poirier Wins First ESS Visit to Brighton
By Curtis Berleue (Brighton, ONT) | For the second time in as many nights, Jordan Poirier found himself on the podium with the Empire Super Sprints. This time, however, it was one spot better than Friday as he picked up the win at the Brighton Speedway in the tours first ever visit to the Canadian oval. Starting on the Pinnacle Pole was Skyler Evans, and Evans jumped out to an early lead on the field. That, however, was short lived as fourth starting Shawn Donath made quick work of the cars in front of him and jumped out to the lead on lap two. Behind Donath, 6th-starting Jordan Poirier was on a similar trajectory as he moved up to second in just three laps. As the laps clicked off, Poirier held pace and inched ever closer to Donath. On lap 16, Poirier was able to pounce on Donath and grab the lead. Just two laps later, Logan Crisafulli, who started in 7th. He ultimately wouldn't have anything for Poirier though, as the Quebec driver sailed to victory lane for his first win of 2025. "My car was really, really good everywhere," said Poirier in victory lane. "It was classic Brighton, they just put a little bit of water on (before the feature) and it made the track come back alive. The track was perfect tonight." Logan Crisafulli would hang on for second, his first podium of 2025. "It was fun, the track picked up speed quick," said Crisafulli. "It was really fun. I would definitely like to come back again." Rounding out the Ashley Lynn Winery Podium was Alex Therrien. "The top was very good at the beginning of the race," said Therrien. "At the end, the bottom was too though so I tried my best to pick the right line." 28 cars lined the pits for the Empire Super Sprints first visit to Brighton, dividing the field into three timed hot lap groups. Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards went to Davie Franek, Alex Therrien, and Shawn Donath. Elab Smokers Boutique heat races were won by Logan Crisafulli, Dale Curran, and Skyler Evans. The Lacaillade Masonry B-Main was won by Jordan Thomas. The next scheduled event for the Empire Super Sprints is this coming Saturday June 7th at the Freedom Motorsports Park in Delevan, NY.
