- HERZOG AIMING TO CONTINUE CLIMB TOWARDS THE TOP WITH LUCAS OIL MLRA
Wheatland, Missouri (March 15, 2024) - Jeff Herzog had high aspirations of following the full Lucas Oil MLRA tour one year ago. But as racing often goes, those plans were derailed in a single corner in early June, forced him to the sidelines for a trio of events. Now, with the season opener at the Tri-City Speedway just three weeks out, the driver from Festus, Missouri is locked and loaded and ready to give it another shot at a full tour run in 2024. Having already completed some pre-season testing, Herzog will get his MLRA season under way at a pair of familiar tracks, the Tri-City Speedway on April 5th - 6th, followed by the first of five weekend get-a-ways on the season to the Lucas Oil Speedway on April 12th - 13th. "It's a huge positive going somewhere that we've went almost every weekend the past several years," commented Herzog of Tri-City. "We have had some luck there and we've had some decent runs, but never got the win there yet, so it kind of eludes me." The driver of the Dan Althoff Trucking # 11 got his best career MLRA finish at the time at Tri-City during the MLRA season finale in 2021, a 6th place run after qualifying for the pole in the main event. "I have high hopes for this year. If everything starts out good, I'm gonna try for the championship, but it's a big hill to climb so we will just see what happens." Weekend number two also sets up nicely for Herzog, as he and the series return to the confines of the Lucas Oil Speedway, a track where he raced into the national spotlight during the 2023 "Show-Me 100", after setting overall quick time during the "Tribute to Don & Billie Gibson" qualifying night. He would go on to score the win in his respective heat race that night, but his results as a whole in 2023 at Lucas has him excited to get back to the "Diamond of Dirt Tracks." "What's weird about Wheatland is I went back there probably in 2015/16 or so, and the track was dry. No traction, no cushion to lean on, nothing. We went out there and slid off the racetrack going into the corner, and I backed it into the wall, and I was like man I hate this place. We never really went back until this past year, and now I love the place." After advancing twelve spots and finishing a very strong 16th in the Show-Me 100, the season took a nose-dive for Herzog just days later at Tri- City where he nosed into the turn three wall before rolling and destroying his Capital Chassis in a World of Outlaws event. However, thanks to a great relationship with Capital Race Cars, the 39-year-old was back up and running by mid-summer. "Capital jumped on top of it and got me a new one in pretty short order," he notes. "I just can't say enough about them guys with Charles (Swaney), Marshall (Green), and Shane (Clanton) and everybody there. They are great to work with, and you know everything just clicks being able to have that kind of a relationship with a chassis builder." He expects that relationship to continue to prove beneficial in 2024 with friend and fellow competitor Tony Jackson Jr. now piloting the Capital house car. "We're kinda teaming up with Tony on things and we are gonna try testing some things and try some new things coming up here shortly. After their Florida trip, I think we're seeing everybody (Capital) really jumping in now and wanting to push forward some more. I believe he's trying some new things to help make the Capital program better, which is good for everybody." Herzog is a three-time track champion at the Federated Auto Parts Raceway at I-55, claiming the top spot three out of four years from 2017 to 2020, making him no stranger to chasing championship hardware if he so chooses to in 2024. But as he explains, for the time being his days of running weekly for points are on the back burner with bigger aspirations. "Track championships are a little different than a series championship you know. People don't really tend to look at track championships anymore, it doesn't really pay the bills you know. It's just kind of another regular night payout basically to win a championship. It is a notch in your belt you can say, but I'm ready to go after bigger things these days, trying to keep putting our best foot forward and keep trying to get better and better." The Lucas Oil MLRA series champion is set to collect a $20,000 pay day at seasons end, something that would be huge for this single car, single engine, race team. "You gotta kinda take your licks on the chin and keep moving, but at the same time with these cars anymore man you've got to be on kill all night long. You've gotta take chances when they arise, but at the same time you can't go out and tear up your stuff either, so luck plays a huge role in everything." Despite missing three nights due to his misfortunes a year ago, Herzog was able to finish the year with three MLRA top tens and a 7th place finish in the overall standings, just 30 points out of the top five. He also matched his career best finish of 6th in the "Wiener Nationals" at the Moberly Motorsports Park, an event that ended up being the season finale for the MLRA. "Racing is a year-to-year deal, and you never know what's going to happen. You've got to start out every year with a positive attitude, and I'm kind of one of them guys where I feel you kinda make your own luck in a way," explained Herzog. "A lot of races are won at the shop, so we do our due diligence with trying to keep spare parts, make sure we nut and bolt check everything every week, and go through the car and try to do preventative maintenance more than anything, just to make sure that we don't have any parts failures or something stupid that puts us behind the eight ball." "At the end of the season we want to be able to say we were there and in contention you know. I have high hopes and expectations. If you go to the track thinking your gonna lose you might as well not even go, so I'm trying to stay positive and put the best foot forward."

- EDDIE TAFOYA JR. BACK IN ACTION AT PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY THIS SATURDAY NIGHT
(Chino, CA, March 14, 2024) When the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series returns to Perris Auto Speedway for round #2 of the 2024 season this Saturday night, March 16th, Eddie Tafoya Jr. hopes for a better result than he experienced at the season opener in February. Through no fault of his own, he was knocked out of the 30-lap main event and the tangle cost him a top finish. After a month and a half off following January's Chili Bowl Midget Nationals, Tafoya got into his gorgeous #51T for the first time this year on February 24th. He then had a week off before last Friday and Saturday's Imperial Valley Raceway 360/410 Sprint Cars show during the California Mid-Winter Fair. After this week at Perris, he will journey to Arizona's Cocopah Speedway for the third round of the USAC/CRA Series. He will wrap up the busy month when he drives one of the Tom & Christy Dunkel-owned Inland Rigging Specials in the first race of the new Ultimate Sprint Car Series at Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway on March 30th. It is the first full month of racing in what promises to be an extremely busy 2024. At last month's race at Perris, Tafoya, 26, was headed toward the front of the pack in the 30-lap main event when he was clobbered from behind by another car at nearly 100 mph. The bash sent him careening into the inside crash wall on the front straightaway. One look at the car and the crew knew he was done for the night as the front end was torn out. Last weekend at Imperial, Tafoya raced on Friday and Saturday. Rear-end problems forced him to miss qualifying on the opening night. With repairs made, he started at the back of the eight-lap heat race and advanced forward to finish fifth. In the 20-lap feature, he again started at the back and finished 13th. Twenty-four hours later, things started much better when the affable Chino Hills, California resident qualified sixth fastest of the 18 cars on hand with a lap of 12.784. A third-place finish in his eight-lap heat race earned him the sixth place starting spot, outside row three, in the 30-lap A main. The friendly racer stayed within the top eight for the first two-thirds of the event. However, a spin necessitated by someone else's mess late in the going forced him to restart at the back and he finished a frustrating 17th. Fans can see Tafoya and the remainder of the stars from the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Series this Saturday night at Perris Auto Speedway. Spectator gates will open at 5:00 p.m. and the first race will get the green flag at 7:00. Adult tickets for the night of exciting dirt track racing 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, there will be plenty available for everyone at the ticket window on Saturday.

- "SHUGAH'" SHANE SEXTON BACK AT PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY THIS SATURDAY NIGHT
(Warner Springs, CA, March 13, 2024) This Saturday night when the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series returns to its home track, Perris Auto Speedway, "Shugah" Shane Sexton will be back in the beautiful family-owned GAS Chassis #74. While he was there for the season opener three weeks ago, an engine problem cut his night short unceremoniously after qualifying. He and the team hope to get in more racing this time around with their #1 engine in the car. Brimming with confidence to start his third season racing with USAC/CRA, things looked bright when Sexton and the crew arrived at the Riverside County half-mile clay oval. However, his high hopes received a kick in the teeth before the racing started due to the unexpected engine gremlins. "In hot laps, the car ran good," the genial driver said. "Trent Williams and Mark Henry worked on it. We got it pretty good and we felt good on the first lap (in qualifying). Went into turn three on the second lap and it blew the head gasket." "We were told it may have been a head gasket and told it may not be," "Shugah" said. "So, we changed a whole bunch of stuff on the car motor-wise. As soon as I bumped off for the heat race, I knew right away (that it was a blown head gasket). So I just putted around till I could turn into the pits. That was the end of our night." As soon as the issues arose at the track, Sexton, his father Stan, and the crew were making plans to be ready for this Saturday's race. "We had the motor out the next morning," the young driver said. "As we were talking a few weeks ago, the actual primary motor was being put together. The one we had the issue with was our #2 engine. So we will be there with our primary and our fingers crossed on Saturday." Spectator gates to see "Shugah" and the other drivers in action on Saturday will open at 5:00 p.m. with racing at 7:00. Adult tickets for Saturday's race 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 free. Advance tickets are available 24 hours a day online at https://www.tix.com/ticket-sales/pas/7 or by calling 1-800-595-4849. For those who do not want to purchase advance tickets, there will be plenty of tickets for everyone at the ticket window on Saturday. The fairgrounds charge $10.00 for parking. Perris Auto Speedway is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds at 18700 Lake Perris Drive in the City of Perris. The track website is http://www.perrisautospeedway.com/ and the office phone number is (951) 940-0134. Sexton's father Stan and grandmother Nita Gatlin own GAS Chassis, which 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 the end of the season. For more information or to order a GAS Sprint Car Chassis, call Stan Sexton at (619) 252-7686 or visit the GAS Chassis Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556527387746.

- BRADEN CHIARAMONTE PICKS UP HIS FIRST WIN OF 2024 AT IMPERIAL VALLEY - HEADED TO PERRIS THIS SATURDAY
(El Cajon, CA, March 12, 2024) In only his third start of 2024, newly turned 17-year-old Braden Chiaramonte outdistanced the field in the Imperial Valley Raceway 360/410 Sprint Cars main event last Saturday night. The triumph was the first of his young career in a 410 sprint car. Riding the crest of his victory wave, the talented teen driver will be back at Perris Auto Speedway this Saturday, March 16th. Saturday's victory came on the second straight night of racing during the California Mid-Winter Fair. Eighteen cars showed up for the race at the track that is located just north of the USA/Mexico border. Chiaramonte, debuting a bright red #73B paint scheme on the weekend, was the fourth-fastest car in hot laps. He followed that up by qualifying second fastest with a time of 12.594 in the 18 car field. That placed him in the second heat where he finished fifth. By the time the cars came onto the track for the 30-lap Saturday main event, blustery winds and cool temperatures had taken over. Still, the track was very racy. Chiaramonte had some veteran heavy hitters from California, Arizona, and Ohio starting in front and behind him in the stacked finale. In his typical confident style that belies the fact that he is only 17, he showed all of the savvy of a longtime pro and steered his way to the front for the first 410 sprint car win of his career. Last week's victory came on the second weekend of racing during the annual fair. Before his Saturday win, he also competed Friday on the same track. Thirteen sprint cars were in the pits for the Friday show. As usual, Chiaramonte was fast from the first time he wheeled his #73B onto the racing surface. He was the fastest in hot laps with a time of 12.248. Moments later, he turned in the fastest qualifying time of the night at 12.335. Later in the evening, he came home eighth in his heat and fifth in the 20-lap main. Dating back to October of last year, Chiaramonte has competed in his 410 sprint car five times. Amazingly he has never finished worse than eighth. And, the night he finished eighth, he started 16th. The other finishes include a win, a fourth-place finish, and two fifth-place results. This Saturday night Chiaramonte will return to Perris Auto Speedway for round #2 of the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA 410 Sprint Car Series. At the season opener three weeks ago, he qualified 17th fastest on the famous half-mile clay oval with a lap of 17.343. A sixth-place finish in his heat forced him into the 12-lap B main where he came home second. That was followed by another impressive performance when he came from 16th to eighth in the main. In that finale, only one of the 22 other drivers bettered his sizzling lap of 17.072. Chiaramonte enters Saturday's Perris race eighth in the USAC/CRA championship point standings. In addition, he is second in the series Rookie of the Year chase. For fans who would like to see the rising young star take on the best non-wing drivers west of the Mississippi on Saturday, spectator gates will open at 5:00 p.m. with racing at 7:00. Adult tickets for the night of exciting dirt track racing 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.

For directions online, the address to enter is: 18700 Lake Perris Drive and the zip code is 92571. After this week's race at Perris, Chiaramonte and his team will head east to Arizona's Cocopah Speedway on March 23rd for the third USAC/CRA race of the 2024 campaign. Chiaramonte would like to thank all his sponsors who have made his racing efforts possible. RTL Traffic Control, AM Ortega, Hyper Racing, Chop Design, Adams Motors, Hacienda Casa Blanca Fine Mexican Dining, Evil Plus Injection, King Racing Products, Tyner, and Keizer Wheels.
