- Kalib Henry charges to 1st All Star win to open Fremont Speedway season
FREMONT, Ohio - If you were going to script the start of the 2025 racing season for the NAPA Auto Parts All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Valvoline and for Fremont Speedway presented by Gill Construction…you couldn't have written it better. Cars charging through the field, late race heroics…it was all there Saturday, April 26 on Gressman Powersports/Level Performance Night. The All Stars, which had taken a year off in 2024, are officially back. The oldest touring winged sprint car series didn't disappoint in their 137th career visit to the Track That Action Built to help kick off the 74th anniversary season at the track. Sacramento, California's Kalib Henry, the defending Fremont Speedway 410 track champion, charged from 13th to battle with Cap Henry late in the race to earn his first All Star win. It was his sixth career Fremont victory. "I figured there wasn't any way I was going to win starting that far back. Andy Potter had this thing absolutely phenomenal. Thanks to all our great sponsors for allowing us to follow the All Stars this year," said Henry beside his Triple J Towing, Birchard Financial, Harris Distributing, Valvoline, C&H Veteran Enterprises, Butler Built, K1 Racewear, Berryman Racing Shocks backed #101. Cody Bova led the opening five laps of the 35-lap feature before third starter Kasey Jedrzejek took over. Pole-sitter Cap Henry, who had fallen back to third, stormed into se3cond on a lap seven restart and immediately pressured Jedrzejek for the lead. Three race cautions in the opening 15 laps brought about an open red on when Leyton Wagner got upside down. On the restart Jedrzejek continued to lead Cap Henry, Bova, Chris Andrews and Kalib Henry. Kalib stormed into fourth on lap 16, took third on lap 17. Another driver on the move was Zane DeVault who moved into fourth from his 17th starting position on lap 18. Jedrzejek and Cap Henry continued to battle for the lead with Henry taking the top spot on lap 22. Four laps later in heavy lapped traffic Kalib Henry drove into the lead only to surrender it back to Cap with a bobble in turn two. Kalib regained the lead on lap 28 and pulled away for the win over Cap Henry, DeVault, Bova and 14th starter Greg Wilson. "Unfortunately I ran out of tear-offs twice…Kalib was just very good tonight. Hats off that that crew. Zack, Jeff, Gary, Chris and Chad have done a great job to put us in a position to win every night out so far. This is a great start to the season," said Cap Henry. For DeVault, the feature's "Hard Charger," some changes to the car made it much more drivable. "We kind of went back to what we did for the Outlaw show here last year. We went back to old notes and this car was ripping," said DeVault. Fostoria, Ohio's Kent Brewer jumped into the lead at the drop of the green in the Burmeister Trophy Dirt Trucks A-main and built up a nearly three second lead before a pair of late race cautions. Steve Miller, who had gone to the work early during a lengthy race stoppage before a lap could be completed, had charged up to second and began pressuring Brewer. Brewer hit his marks and drove to his ninth career Fremont win. After a post-race inspection Miller's truck was found to have an illegal carburetor. "Thank you to all my family and friends who help work and take care of this truck. Scott Gressman built me one heck of a motor. Thanks to Brian Ruhlman, my brothers and all the fans and participants," said Brewer beside his Injector Experts, Kent's Transmissions, B&S Farms backed #8KB. Fremont Speedway will be back in action Saturday, May 3 with the American Late Model Iron-Man Series, the 305 sprints and D2 Midgets in action.

- Morton captures Hermitage Lumber Late Model feature before rain cancels rest of Lucas Oil Speedway program
WHEATLAND, MO. (April 26, 2025) - Lucas Oil Speedway was only able to complete one of its five scheduled features on Saturday night before rain postponed the remainder of the Pitts Homes and Realty Weekly Racing Series program Presented by Encounter Ministries, Inc. J.C. Morton of Springfield rallied from sixth at the start to capture the 20-lap Hermitage Lumber Late Model feature in the Moon Brothers Racing Rocket chassis. The Hickamo Super Stocks were to be the featured division of the night, but were only able to complete four laps before action was halted. Jared Hays had the lead over fellow front-row starter Kenny Carroll when the rain began. The postponed features will be made up later in the season. Morton made a mid-race pass for the lead in the Late Model feature and went on to beat Robbe Ewing for the Hermitage Lumber Late Model feature victory. Justin Russell started on the pole and had opened a one-second lead when a caution flew on lap four. Ewing was able to wrest away the lead on the restart as the sixth-starting Morton cracked the top three by lap five. Ewing had a half-second lead over Morton with Russell fading to fifth when a lap-seven yellow flag again slowed the field. Morton moved to the top groove and sailed around Ewing for the lead on lap nine. It didn't take long for Morton to open a 2.2-second lead, but that was wiped out on lap 11 with the event's third caution. Ewing hung close to Morton for a couple of laps after the restart, but Morton was then able to drive away as action remained caution-free. He finished 1.5 seconds clear of Ewing at the finish. Russell rallied back into third with Jake Morris fourth and Hunter Bergen fifth. With rain in the forecast, the Easter Bowl Enduro 150 that was scheduled to run a 150-lap feature to conclude the action was canceled earlier on Saturday.

- Moran Narrowly Edges Thornton in Georgetown Thriller
GEORGETOWN, DE (April 25, 2026) - Devin Moran beat Ricky Thornton Jr. to the finish line by 0.077 seconds to win the Melvin L. Joseph Memorial on Friday night at Georgetown Speedway. The two drivers entered the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing's third-ever visit to the track tied atop the points, but after the thrilling $20,049 victory, Moran leads Thornton by 10 points heading to Hagerstown Speedway on Saturday night. Garrett Alberson registered another strong finish, coming from the 12th starting spot to secure a third-place finish in the Big River Steel Podium. Brandon Sheppard, who started 14th, finished fourth, while Hudson O'Neal recovered from a pit stop to finish fifth. Brandon Overton led the first 21 laps from his outside front row starting spot. Overton, who was seeking his first series win of the season, was in control of the first 21 laps of the race until a restart on lap 22 saw Daulton Wilson bolt to the lead. Wilson stayed in front until Moran, who had started sixth, swept by him to become the third different leader of the race on lap 18. Moran opened up a sizable lead over the field until a caution with 43 laps complete bunched the field up. Another caution with 46 laps complete would delay Moran's trip to victory lane as he was narrowly hanging onto the lead with Thornton applying heavy pressure. With three laps to go in the race, the two fought it out; Moran edged Thornton at the finish line as Thornton tried a cross-move on him that fell just short. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 20th time in his career, Moran registered his fifth series win of 2025. "That took a lot of hard work to win. I was super good early and bidding my time, and I knew I had hard tires. There was a big hole getting into one, and you couldn't hardly see it until you were right on it. After I got the lead, it was about five laps after I smoked it and demolished the whole right front. I don't know what's wrong with it. I was hanging on there at the end without a doubt." "I knew he (Thornton) was there. I was trying to enter wide and sweep down the hill. I knew with the front end messed up, it was just too tight to run up there on that cushion, so I just committed myself to the bottom. To be honest, I was just blocking at the end, so that way I could get to the finish line first. I knew it was close because I could see all of the fans standing on the frontstretch. It was a fun race for sure." Thornton, who had captured the previous two Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing events at Georgetown, was looking for a clean sweep of the night after setting a new track record in time trials and easily winning his heat race to earn the Victory Fuel pole. "I don't know. I tried to dive behind Overton at the start, but I got a bad restart and was buried back to about fifth or sixth. I messed up the next restart and nearly wrecked the field. After that, I started to throw it into the top of one and two. I thought in three and four you could move out, but it was so treacherous that you had to hit it right. I didn't want that last yellow to come out. I felt like he (Moran) was stuck behind those two lapped cars, and I was able to get all the way to him." Alberson, who ran well at Georgetown a year ago finished third this time around. "We just went back to our notes from a year ago here because we had a similar scenario. I think we went from 10th to third. I think we were on the podium with the same guys there, so I don't know what it is about this track. I always enjoy coming here, and it always races really well in the feature. I was a little too tight to get in there with them guys, unfortunately, because they were having a heck of a battle. I wish I could have gotten in there to battle with them."

- "Shugah" Shane Sexton Set to Return to Perris Auto Speedway for Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series Race
(Warner Spring, CA, April 24, 2025) For the third time in 2025, popular "Shugah" Shane Sexton will strap into one of the most eye-catching sprint cars in the country for this Saturday's Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series race at the iconic Perris Auto Speedway. After enduring a frustrating 2024 season plagued by mechanical failures, Sexton, who calls Warner Springs, California, home, has turned the tide in 2025. In his two USAC/CRA starts this year, he's finished both mains—a refreshing change for the young driver, who often found himself sidelined before the heat races last year. Sexton's last outing at Perris saw him qualify 21st on the half-mile clay oval on April 5. He showed his trademark resilience, charging from seventh to fifth in his 10-lap heat and improving from 20th to 18th in the main event. In his March 1 season debut, he made similar forward progress, climbing from 21st to 18th. Across both starts this season, Sexton has gained five spots in the main event competition—momentum he looks to continue this weekend. While fans may have noticed his limited appearances so far this year, there's a good reason. Sexton is an apprentice heavy equipment operator and is currently attending heavy equipment operator school in Whittier, CA. That limits his chances of getting to most tracks. Luckily, Perris Auto Speedway is only about an hour from Whittier, and the proximity allows the determined racer to continue competing at one of the region's premier tracks. Fans eager to watch "Shugah" battle it out with the West Coast's best can catch the action at Perris Auto Speedway, which is located at 18700 Lake Perris Drive, just off the 215 Freeway on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds. Spectator gates open at 5:00 p.m., with racing set to begin at 7:00. Early arrivals (between 5:00 and 6:00 p.m.) can enjoy half-off Budweiser beers and two-for-one Pepsi's. Ticket Prices: Adults (13+): $35.00 Seniors (65+): $30.00 Kids (6-12): $10.00 Children 5 & under: Free Parking: $20.00 (Fairground Fee) For more information, visit www.perrisautospeedway.com or call the track office at (951) 940-0134. Sexton and the #74 team would like to thank their 2025 season partners: Gas Chassis, Mike Pridgeon Race Engines, Savage Racing, and Elite Powder Coating. Businesses interested in joining this exciting and growing team for the 2025 season are encouraged to reach out to Shane Sexton at ShaneSexton7@gmail.com or call (619) 362-5921.

- EDDIE TAFOYA JR. TACKLES PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY ON SATURDAY
(Chino, CA, April 24, 2025) Southern California sprint car standout Eddie Tafoya Jr. is set to return to action this Saturday night, April 26th, when the Avanti Windows & Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series rolls into Perris Auto Speedway for the third time in 2025. The iconic clay oval, widely regarded as the premier sprint car venue on the West Coast, will welcome fans through its gates at 5:00 PM, with racing action set to begin at 7:00. The 27-year-old Chino Hills, California native, who captured the Perris Auto Speedway Young Guns Championship in 2018, has already made two appearances at the famed Riverside County half mile this year. His strongest performance at the track came on April 5, when he piloted the immaculate #51T to a solid eighth-place finish. Tafoya's best run of the 2025 campaign so far came on February 22 at Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway, where he battled to an impressive fifth. That was his best result to date in 2025. The 2019 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year has shown strong form through the early stages of the season, especially in qualifying. In all five of his 2025 USAC/CRA appearances, Tafoya has qualified inside the top 10, including three top five time trial performances. Most recently, during a two-night stint at the newly revamped Central Arizona Speedway, he clocked in second fastest on April 11th and fourth quickest on April 12th. At Perris Auto Speedway, Tafoya has also demonstrated his one-lap speed, turning in the sixth and seventh fastest qualifying times in his two starts there this season. He kicked off the year by qualifying 10th at the season opener at Mohave Valley Raceway, where he went on to score the fifth-place finish. Despite only contesting five of the first seven races of the year, Tafoya currently sits 15th in series points. A strong run this Saturday could see him climb even higher in the standings as he looks to build momentum through the heart of the season. To see Tafoya battle with the best traditional sprint car drivers west of the Mississippi at Perris on Saturday, spectator gates will open at 5:00 p.m. and racing will begin at 7:00. Tickets for those 13 and over are $35.00. Seniors 65 and over get in for $30.00. For kids 6-12, it is $10.00, and children 5 and under are free. The fairgrounds charge $20.00 for parking.
