- BRENT SEXTON WRAPPED UP HIS 2024 SEASON AT THE TURKEY NIGHT GRAND PRIX
(Lakeside, CA, December 4, 2023) A little over 10 months after it all began, Sexton Gatlin Racing's Brent Sexton wrapped up the 2024 campaign on Thanksgiving weekend in the 83rd running of the Turkey Night Grand Prix at the Ventura Raceway. The veteran racer competed in the Inland Rigging Ultimate Sprint Car Series portion of the program. The two-night show matched Lakeside, California-based Sexton against a stellar field of drivers from around the nation. Friday's preliminary night saw 50 cars show up at the tiny 1/5 of a mile track on the beach at the Ventura County Fairgrounds. Sexton, a 52-year-old Tennessee native, qualified fifth fastest in his group with a lap of 12.789. Powered by a former Rico Abreu Shaver 360 engine, the three-time lightning sprint car champion had a good starting position in his heat race on the inside of row three. Unfortunately, a tap with another car saw his right rear go flat. The deflation saw him finish 10th. That flat tire meant that Brent had to go to one of the B mains. The race was only 12 laps long and would go by in the blink of an eye on the little track. Starting ninth in the 10-car field, the wily veteran had to finish third to transfer to the A main. The laps wound down quickly and Sexton drove his way to sixth. However, time ran out before he could get past three more cars, and he was done for the night. The following evening, Brent had one shot at making the A-main. That came in one of the three B mains. It was a 12-lapper like Friday night, and he was starting ninth. However, this time he only had to get to fourth. Once again, he began passing cars and raced his way up to sixth. But like the night before, the laps ticked off quickly. Brent ended up two spots shy of the transfer. That ended his racing weekend and put wraps on his 2024 season. SGR is already making plans for the 2025 campaign, with the first race of the year coming in February. If you would like to join the team for a fun, exciting ride on the sprint car trail, call Brent Sexton or email him at the contact information at the top of this release. Sexton Gatlin Racing would like to thank the following companies for making the 2024 season possible. East County Electric Works, Keys Brothers, BR Motorsports, Maxima Oil, Automated Interiors, Valley Lubricant Services, Sexton Fire Protection, BK Wings, Troy Dirt.

- Lucas Oil Speedway Champions Spotlight: Jason Pursley savors first title
WHEATLAND, MO. (Dec. 4, 2024) - Jason Pursley was the epitome of determination and perseverance in chasing a goal that he eluded him for nearly a quarter-century-long racing career. But at long last, 2024 proved to be the magical season that the veteran Modified driver from Hermitage finally captured a Lucas Oil Speedway track championship after nine runner-up finishes. Pursley, 48, took home the Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modified track championship with consistency paving the way. The superintendent of the Skyline School District had five top-five finishes and three other top-10s on his way to a 78-point margin over Chad Lyle. After some time to reflect on the championship, Pursley said earlier this week that the warm feelings are carrying over into the wintertime. "It means a lot just for the simple fact to finally check it off the bucket list after all these years, after coming in second so many times," Pursley said. "It may not mean a lot to a lot of people, but I really wanted to check it off the list and finally win one there at Lucas. It takes a lot of dedication and perseverance type of deal to never give up. "It kind of gets the monkey off my back. I'm pretty happy about it." After so many second-place points finishes - some by narrow margins and others that were pretty lopsided - Pursley admitted that he wasn't sure that his time would ever come. But he never gave up, and that's half the battle. "I didn't know if it would ever happen," he said. "There were a few times I was a distant second, but there were a few times where I was pretty close. One time to Cutshaw (four-time champ Jeff Cutshaw) and another that was fairly close and it came down to the end. It just seems like somebody would get on a roll and they would have an awesome year, or we'd have trouble or whatever. "But this year it finally paid off. We had a decent year. We were very consistent with our speeds. Top two, three or four several times and I just finally came together for us and paid off." Pursley said he was as happy for long-time car owner Tom Campbell as for himself. The two have been partners in the sport for 14 years, an unusually long time between driver and owner. "I really wanted to get it for Tom. He spends a lot of money and a lot of time," Pursley said. "We've been together a long time as far as driver and owner - a lot longer than most. Racing has its highs, but it has its lows, and a lot of times drivers and owners don't make it as long as Tom and I have. "You get mad at each other and aggravated at each other. The owner blames the driver, the driver blames the car and then usually you go separate ways. We both get aggravated at times. We have moments. But we always look at the big picture and try to get better, is what we do. We have a good friendship outside of racing and I think that helps." The Lucas Oil Speedway championship "right up there" among Pursley's racing highlights. He lists two others - a 2005 season in which he won a combined 14 features at Springfield and Urbana to claim championships at both tracks and a USMTS race at Wheatland about a decade ago. He led 32 of 35 laps before finishing second to tour-regular Jason Krohn. Pursley already is looking forward to the 2025 season, where he will return to Lucas Oil Speedway as the reigning champ for the first time. Along with Campbell, he gave shout-outs to long-time sponsors Ozarks Community Health Care in Hermitage and Fugate Motors, along with son Dayton who moved into the USRA Modified division in 2024 and finished fourth in points. "Dayton helps me out, we help each other out," Jason Pursley said. "Racing with him this year was a lot of fun. Just getting the cars ready is so time consuming."

- Entry List Over 1,000 And Growing For The 40th Annual Smiley's Racing Products Tulsa Shootout
Bryan Hulbert - TULSA, Okla. (December 2, 2024) Rolling past the 1,000 mark for the 11th consecutive event, the 40th annual Smiley's Racing Products Tulsa Shootout powered by NOS Energy Drink is again on record watch ahead of the entry deadline. Made up of 614 drivers from 371 cities across 40 states and three countries (USA, NB, and NZ), the total number of entries received at the time of press is 1,428, which also marks the sixth time in as many events there have been more than 1,300 entries for the "Mecca of Micros". Surpassing the 300 mark, Joe's Racing Products Stock Non-Wing is leading at 339 entries. EVO Fuel Injection A-Class follows at 326, with Hyper Racing Non-Wing Outlaw at 304. WFO Winged Outlaw Micros sits at 199 entries, with K&B Racing Restricted A-Class at 162 and Flying A Motorsports Junior Sprints at 98. Cutting off at Midnight on December 13, 2024, anyone wanting to enter after that must do so during move-in on December 30, 2024. Entries can be submitted online 24/7 at https://www.myracepass.com/series/1531/registrations. The cost is $125 per entry. Entries can also be phoned into (918) 838-3777, or (918) 606-2592, Monday-Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. (CT). Among the 641 drivers on the list, the names Busch and Larson jump out as Brexton Busch and Owen Larson chase Golden Drillers in Restricted A-Class and Junior Sprints. Brexton's fourth time at the Tulsa Shootout, his 2024 showing netted a 12th place finish in the Junior Sprint A-Feature and a 10th place in a Restricted A-Class B-Feature. The 2025 event will be the debut event for Owen Larson. Joined by their fathers, 2x NASCAR Champion Kyle Busch made his Tulsa Shootout debut in 2021 with an eighth-to-first Heat Race run in Outlaw Non-Wing. In action last year, Kyle's Tulsa Shootout culminated with a fifth-place finish in a Winged Outlaw B-Feature. Making his USAC NOS Energy Drink Midget National Championship debut in Bakersfield, Cali., Busch recently announced he will attempt his first Chili Bowl Nationals powered by NOS Energy Drink in January. A former Tulsa Shootout champion, 2021 NASCAR and 2x Chili Bowl Champion Kyle Larson earned a Silver Driller during the Shootout's 25th anniversary event in 2010. Winning Open Winged Outlaw Karts, that would be the division's final A-Feature before the Shootout switched to a Micro oriented lineup the following year. The 2010 show included 26 divisions with 1,090 competitors, including, at the time, a record 584 Micros, approximately 300 Karts,100 Quads, and 15 ECOtec/Focus Midgets.

The full list of entries is listed at https://www.myracepass.com/events/523284/entries. A quick reminder to teams regarding car numbers. We do not allow reflective numbers. If your numbers are borderline or not readable, you will need to fix them. You will be given one warning during practice to fix your numbers. Numbers not fixed by race time will result in disqualification, and you will not be allowed to enter the racetrack. Non-Wing Classes must have a number on the nose of your car. The letter must be above the number and legible. Winged Classes must have numbers on both sideboards. All cars must have legible numbers on the tail tank. Car numbers are a max of three digits. That includes the use of a letter. For example, a car can be No. 100, or No. 10x. Not No. 100x. Remember, we have three people hand scoring because sometimes the transponder system does go down, they fall off the car, or just stop working. We need to be able to read all car numbers so you are not scored incorrectly and also to speed up time under caution. It also helps our infield crew to move cars around when a RACEceiver malfunctions. Contrast is important. Black on black with a hint of grey is not readable when a car is in motion, especially from a distance. Featured classes at the 40th running of the Smiley's Racing Products Tulsa Shootout include WFO Winged Outlaw Micros, Hyper Racing Non-Wing Outlaw, EVO Fuel Injection A-Class Winged, Joe's Racing Products Stock Non-Wing, K&B Racing Restricted A-Class, and Flying A Motorsports Junior Sprints. Information regarding specific daily running orders will be established after entries open. Online entry will be available as well as entry by phone at (918) 838-3777. Rules questions can be directed to Matt Ward, who is the director of competition for the Smiley's Racing Products Tulsa Shootout.

- Arenz finds success, endures setbacks in shortened 2024 IRA campaign
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) November 27, 2024 - On the heels of a stellar rookie season with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series, during which he scored his first career 410 Sprint Car A-main victory and recorded a third-place showing in the 2023 IRA point standings, the 2024 campaign featured a slew of impressive performances and some untimely mechanical maladies for Travis Arenz and his Travis Arenz Motorsports Team. The 2021 and 2022 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car champion opened the 2024 campaign by ripping off his first career 410 Sprint Car fast qualifier award, topping the 30-car Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association field with a fast lap of 13.650 seconds on the high-banked Beaver Dam Raceway third-mile clay oval on Saturday, April 20. The Sheboygan Falls driver went on to post a sixth-place A-main finish to kick off the 2024 IRA campaign. On Saturday, May 4, Arenz turned his first competitive laps at Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis., coming home eighth in an IRA A-main contested on a fast, heavy and challenging track surface. One week later, Arenz recorded a runner-up showing for the second consecutive season in IRA A-main action at Sycamore Speedway in Maple Park, Ill. on Saturday, May 11. Arenz found the going quite rough as he returned to his home track - The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. - for an IRA event on Saturday, May 18. In an A main contested on an extremely fast and treacherous track surface filled with six caution/red flag periods, Arenz recorded a 13th-place showing. The following night at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis. ended in heartbreak for the 17th-year competitor. Arenz was leading the main event and appeared to be headed to his second career IRA A-main victory when the third caution flag of the race brought the event to an early halt due to the track's 10 p.m. curfew. Since it did not reach the halfway mark, the race was not official. As a result, the A-main drivers split points and pay equally. Six days later, Arenz recorded a fifth-place showing in an IRA main event at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis. on Saturday, May 25. Following the Wilmot event, IRA officials engaged in the process of investigating the team's equipment as traction control allegations were waged in the aftermath of Arenz's top-five finish. On Sunday, June 9, Arenz returned to Angell Park Speedway where he earned a spot in the IRA A-main event with a sixth-place heat race performance. However, motor issues brought the team's evening to a premature end and left the team without a powerplant to continue the 2024 season. After the Angell Park event, Arenz revealed that the IRA's investigation of the team's equipment confirmed its legality. However, the team's motor woes kept Arenz on the sidelines for the next six weeks of the season. Arenz returned to action for a three-race IRA western swing with events at Norman County Speedway in Ada, Minn. and River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, N.D. which netted A-main results of 14th, eighth and 22nd respectively. Arenz returned home to mount a stirring run from the B main to place fourth after starting 20th in IRA action at The Plymouth Dirt Track on Saturday, July 27. A doubleheader weekend of action at Wilmot Raceway and Angell Park Speedway on Saturday, Aug. 17 and Sunday, Aug. 18 netted a pair of eighth-place A-main performances for the 2023 IRA Apple Cup Rookie Award winner. The annual Sheboygan County Fair event at The Plymouth Dirt Track on Saturday, Aug. 31 brought out the best in Arenz as he stormed from the 11th starting position to take the lead from California's Joel Myers Jr. on lap 21. Following a back-and-forth slide-job duel with Myers Jr. in the closing laps, Arenz settled for a hard-fought runner-up showing. The following night at The Hill Raceway in Sturgeon Bay, Wis. brought misfortune as Arenz's 25T machine flipped following an early race battle for position with Jake Blackhurst. Although Arenz returned to the race to place 16th, frame damage was discovered later, which prompted the team to prepare a backup car for the 24th annual Jerry Richert Memorial event at Cedar Lake Speedway on Saturday, Sept. 7. True to his hard charging, "Mr. Excitement" moniker, Arenz stormed from the 16th starting spot to place fourth in the main event. One week later, Arenz again mounted an inspired charge from the 12th starting spot to finish fourth in an IRA event at 141 Speedway in Francis Creek, Wis. on Saturday, Sept. 14. In a non-sanctioned 410 Sprint Car event held during the Wilmot Raceway Fall Classic on Saturday, Sept. 21, Arenz started on the pole of the main event before coming home second behind race winner Blake Nimee. Arenz closed out his 2024 campaign with a solid fourth-place showing in the 2024 IRA season-ending Wisconsin Sprint Car Championships at The Plymouth Dirt Track on Saturday, Sept. 28. In 19 410 Sprint Car events during the 2024 campaign, Arenz collected eight top-five A-main showings, 13 top-10 main event finishes and 14 top-15 A-main runs to go along with four heat race victories, 11 dash appearances, one dash victory and one fast qualifier award. Despite missing nine IRA events primarily due to motor issues, Arenz posted an 11th-place finish in the final 2024 IRA point standings. "The one word to describe the 2024 season would be 'frustrating,'" Arenz said. "A lot of things didn't go as planned. On a positive note, I learned a lot this season and I was able to get more comfortable. Missing a handful of weeks due to the engine failure we experienced is not something I wanted to happen. That's racing though. It was out of our control." At the close of the 2024 season, Arenz was non-committal about the extent of his racing endeavors in 2025 pointing to the need for additional crew help.

- JEFF AND SETH DYER FINISH THE 2024 SEASON THIS WEEK
(Yucca Valley, CA, November 26, 2024) With the holidays beckoning just around the corner, Jeff Dyer and his teenage son Seth are set to finish their 2024 racing seasons this Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. Wednesday's show will be the 8th annual Western States Lightning Sprint Car Championship for the California Lightning Sprint Cars at the Bakersfield Speedway. Both Jeff and Seth will be racing in that one. Friday and Saturday, Jeff will compete in the Inland Rigging Ultimate Sprint Car Series portion of the 83rd Turkey Night Grand Prix at the Ventura Raceway. Wednesday's race had originally been scheduled for Tuesday night. However, heavy rainstorms on Monday and Tuesday forced the event's postponement until Wednesday. It will be the final race in the 30th season for the California Lightning Sprint Cars. Jeff, a California Highway Patrol Officer, when he is not racing, sits comfortably in third heading into the finale. Seventeen-year-old Seth is seventh in the CLS championship standings, but he is only 10 points out of sixth. Jeff's best finish with the CLS on "The West's Fastest 1/3 Mile High Banked Clay Oval" in 2024 came on March 16th when he placed second. Seth's best showing at the "Okie Bowl" came when he finished fourth on May 18th. However, in June the teen led the first nine laps of the main event and seemed to have the field covered until he slowed with a broken engine. After Wednesday, the team will slap restrictors on the Cal Smith Racing/Dyer Motorsports yellow #39 410 sprint car and head to the prestigious Turkey Knight Grand Prix at Ventura. It will be Jeff's first appearance in one of the USA's most famous dirt track races. On Friday night, he will be one of 60 cars trying to race their way into Saturday's finale. Only the top 42 in points on Friday will race again on Saturday. The two nights of racing at the track, which is located at the beach on the Ventura County Fairgrounds, will be Jeff's first time in a full-size sprint car at Ventura in 2024. However, he has been a force on the tiny track this year in lightning sprints. In five starts, he has two runner-up results, two third-place finishes, and he came home ninth once. Adult general admission tickets at Bakersfield are $25.00. For kids 6-12, general admission tickets are $15.00. For children 5 and under, general admission tickets are free. For seniors 65+ and military (ID required), general admission tickets are $22.00. The track is located at 5001 N. Chester Ext., in Bakersfield (93308). The track website is http://www.bakersfieldspeedway.com/ and the office phone number is (661) 393-3373. At Ventura, spectator gates will open at 3:00 p.m., with cars on the track at 3:30 on both days. Advance tickets can be purchased at www.venturaraceway.com. Additional information is available at 805-648-7223. The famous track is located on the Ventura County Fairgrounds at 10 W. Harbor Boulevard in Ventura (93001). For fans who cannot make it to the track, all three nights will be streamed live on Flo Racing. Seth wrapped up the GAS Chassis Young Gun portion of his 2024 season at Perris Auto Speedway on November 9th. A clogged fuel line between the tank and the filter forced him to drop out of the race early. In 2024, the following marketing partners will help keep the Dyers on track. Dependable Machine Inc., Haircuts By Susie, Jobu Racing, LBA Investigations, Straight Time Stirrups, Justice Brothers, Fonseca Racing, Specialty Fasteners, and Blud Racing Lubricants. If you would like to be a part of Dyer Motorsports in 2024, call (760) 550-7237 or send an email to mailto:dyermotorsports4@gmail.com. Jeff is racing in memory of his grandparents, Glenn, and Beverly Sels, throughout the 2024 season.

The High Limit Series, which is operated by Kyle Larson and Brad Sweet, will make its fifth stop of the year at The PAS on March 22nd.

Among the other highlights during the year will be the May 24th Salute to Indy for the USAC/CRA Sprint Cars. That race first took place 77-years ago in 1948. One of the biggest nights of the 2025 campaign will take place on June 28th when Night of Destruction will be accompanied by the biggest and best fireworks sky concert in Riverside County.
