- EDDIE TAFOYA JR. HEADS TO FLORIDA FOR USAC NATIONAL SPRINT CAR SERIES OPENERS
(Chino, CA, February 5, 2025) Being out of the saddle for three months, Southern California racer Eddie Tafoya Jr. was getting anxious for some sprint car action. On Tuesday morning, he and his father, Eddie Tafoya Sr., began to scratch that itch when they pointed the Specialty Fasteners team hauler east and began a trek from one side of the country to the other to participate in USAC Winter Dirt Games XVI in Florida. Beginning on Monday night February 9th, Tafoya will be competing against the best traditional sprint car drivers in the country for six straight nights. Tafoya and his father were making the cross-country journey alone and planned on arriving in Florida on Friday afternoon. After watching Supercross in Tampa on Saturday, it would be seven straight nights of work, beginning with a Sunday night practice session at the Ocala Speedway. From there, the team will make the one-hour journey east to Barberville and the high-speed 56-year-old Volusia County Speedway half-mile. Tafoya will race there on Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 9th. After the Tuesday race at Volusia, Tafoya will head back to Ocala to begin four straight nights of competition on the 3/8 mile Ocala oval. After Saturday's race, the team will return to its Southern California base. Winter Dirt Games is nothing new for Chino Hills, California veteran driver Tafoya. Two years ago, the 2019 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year made his first trip to the land of alligators and swamps for his initial raid on Winter Dirt Games. He was knocked out of the first race with a fuel problem, and another night was lost to rain. Of the three nights he got in, he qualified for the A main two times. He ended up with a 13th at Volusia after starting 16th. Four nights later he finished 21st on the tricky Ocala track. While cruising through Las Cruces, New Mexico on Tuesday, Tafoya took the time to talk about the upcoming races. "I like Volusia a lot," the talented 27-year-old racer enthused. "It is big and fast. It is in my wheelhouse of tracks I like to go to. Ocala is fun, it is just a lot more challenging setup wise. You have to take good notes and make sure you are doing the right thing to find grip around that place. It is one of the few places you go to where you kind of have to set up your car for one half of the track and just deal with the other half because they are so different. It definitely makes you a better driver. You have to figure out how to manipulate your race car." " I am pretty stoked," Tafoya continued when asked about starting the season in the "Sunshine State." "We decided to do something different. We had a break last year and decided to stay home. We thought about it over this off season and kind of had an itch to go National racing again. We race so many nights in a row, it is kind of a good way to jump start the season and get into gear quick." Racing six nights a week in any class is a grind and requires a lot of extra attention. The week in Florida will be taxing on the driver and his team making sure everything is perfect when he hits the track. "Probably just making sure everything is good to go every night," Tafoya mentioned when asked what was the hardest part of racing six straight nights. "We have a pretty small crew. So, we have to take the whole first half of the day to do some maintenance and all of that fun stuff and make sure we are ready to go for the night. Hopefully, we do not tear too much stuff up, and we get some good seat time." Like he said, the crew is small. He and his father, Eddie Sr., a one-time draft pick of the Pittsburgh Pirates, are making the cross-country drive by themselves. Malyssa Young will join the team when she flies into Florida. The beautiful #51T Tafoya will be wheeling is the same car he raced in USAC/CRA in 2024. Over the winter, he framed it and completely rebuilt it to make sure everything is fresh, tight, and square to give himself a good start to the 2025 campaign. After Florida, Tafoya is not sure what his plans will be for the rest of the 10-month campaign. While he hopes to make all of the races at Perris, starting in Florida comes at a cost. The first Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA series opener at Perris is the same night as the Florida finale. Race #2 of the USAC/CRA season will take place at Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway just seven days later on February 22nd. Fans who cannot make it to Florida for the Winter Dirt Games can watch all of the action on Flo Racing at the following link: https://flosports.link/usac. They can also listen live on the USAC app or online at http://mixlr.com/usac-official/. Fans can follow Tafoya on Instagram eddietafoya51. Tafoya and the #51T team would like to thank Specialty Fasteners, BR Motorsports, King Racing Products, Gasper Transportation, CMI Precision Machining, Owen's Insurance Services, Keen Concrete, DRC Chassis, and Rider Racing Engines for supporting its 2025 racing endeavors.

- Davenport Outduels Overton at Ocala
OCALA, FL (February 6, 2025) - Jonathan Davenport secured his second consecutive Wieland Winter Nationals feature on Thursday night at Ocala Speedway, as the three-time Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series National Champion fended off Brandon Overton to capture the $10,000 victory. The final results will show that Davenport led all 40 laps, but Overton caught up to Davenport as they approached the white flag. However, he could never pass him to steal the win from his fellow Georgian, who triumphed by 0.538 seconds at the finish line. Kyle Bronson achieved his best series finish of the year, taking third, followed by Brandon Sheppard and Devin Moran, who rounded out the top five drivers. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 85th time in his career, Davenport also was victorious at Ocala for the fifth time in his career, the most all-time for any late model driver during Speedweeks at the egg-shaped track. "He (Overton) made me more worried than I should have been. I didn't know he was coming like that at the very end. It was kind of slimy around the bottom, so he just kept chasing it down and blowing it out. That was why I didn't think we could move, and since I was in the front, I couldn't tell what everyone else was doing. Once I got to the lapped cars, I didn't think I could pass any on the outside. I think they finally rolled in a little of that slime through one and two. It was a little better through the middle, but it was kind of bumpy. As long as your car wouldn't bounce too badly, I guess that was why he got that good run. Other than that, I was just blocking." Overton, in his return to the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series in 2025, was the third different driver to run second during the 40-lap race, joining Sheppard and Bronson in that category. "I I felt like I was doing everything I could. I almost made a move on him there, but I just got my right rear quarter-panel in the wall and couldn't get low enough to take the lead. It was an awesome race. If the fans didn't enjoy that, they might as well stop coming. The wins are on the way. I feel like I have the best crew in the business. I just want to win one; I mean, we're really close to winning one." Bronson, looking for his first series win since taking the Silver Dollar Nationals in 2021, regained the third position on lap 33 to round out the Big River Steel Podium. "It definitely feels good to get a good finish. I have been down on myself a little bit. We've got everything we need to win; we just need to put the right pieces in the right places and go after it." The winner's Double L Motorsports Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and sponsored by Nutrien Ag Solutions, Dyna-Gro Seed, ASC Warranty, Mark Martin Automotive, and Mega Plumbing of the Carolinas. Completing the top ten were Spencer Hughes, Ross Robinson, Tyler Bruening, Tanner English, and Dillon McCowan.

- Davenport Secures First Lucas Oil Victory of 2025
OCALA, FL (February 5, 2025) - Jonathan Davenport secured his first Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing victory of the season on Wednesday at the Wieland Winter Nationals held at Ocala Speedway. The Blairsville, Georgia native earned $7,000 for his 84th career series win. Last year's O'Reilly Auto Parts Rookie of the Year, Drake Troutman, who started in ninth place, traded positions with defending series champion Ricky Thornton Jr. for second place in the final two laps, securing the runner-up spot at the finish line. Thornton finished third, while Tim McCreadie and Brandon Overton rounded out the top five drivers. Davenport started from the pole position and took the lead as soon as the green flag dropped. In the first five laps, there were two caution flags while Overton maintained second place behind the three-time series champion. The final 24 laps ran without caution as Thornton, driving a brand-new car, moved into second place, passing Overton on lap 18. With heavy traffic in front of the leader, Thornton was able to close the gap between himself and Davenport with ten laps to go. Meanwhile, Troutman had reached third by using the top line around the track, moving the G.R. Smith entry to third on lap 21. As Davenport navigated through traffic, the battle for second place was heating up between Thornton and Troutman. The two swapped the second position a couple of times in the last two laps, with Troutman managing to edge out Thornton at the finish. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the first time this season, Davenport also became the first driver in six races this year to lead every lap in the main event, winning for the fourth time in his career at Ocala. "The pace is so slow in turn four, and you feel like you're crawling around the bottom. You feel like you're spinning your wheels going around the top. We really didn't know what to do. I saw Brandon (Overton) starting to run the top down here (in three and four) and start passing some cars. I got around a couple of lapped cars, and I kind of died a little bit because the outside of turn one is wider. I don't know we still have a little bit of work to do. Man, we have been really consistent. I am just proud of my guys they have done a good job for me." Troutman got his best finish of the season, taking the runner-up spot in a hard-fought battle with Thornton. "Man, I put my crew through the wringer last week at All-Tech. No, it's pretty awesome you know we've got a pretty good car. The track was awesome tonight, and it widened out there. I hope we put on a good show for the fans and hopefully get a little bit better for tomorrow night." Thornton, who took Tuesday night's race off to finish up his new Longhorn Chassis, rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third. "I need to get up on the wheel harder and longer I guess. I was just riding there behind (Brian) Shirley, and I messed up I think twice and let Troutman get by me and then I don't know. We all got through traffic pretty good you could kind of move high or low, there at the beginning really didn't know if I needed to be on the top of one and two or not. I tried it right away and lost a couple of spots. Overall, it was a great night, the first night on this thing. Hopefully, we can have a good run tomorrow and qualify well. Starting up front is kind of a premium here because everyone is really good, and the way the shape is here, you can really manipulate your car really well." The winner's Double L Motorsports Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and sponsored by Nutrien Ag Solutions, Dyna-Gro Seed, ASC Warranty, Mark Martin Automotive, and Mega Plumbing of the Carolinas. Completing the top ten were Daulton Wilson, Hudson O'Neal, Ross Robinson, Mark Whitener, and Max Blair.

- Moran takes Wieland Winter Nationals Opener at Ocala
OCALA, FL (February 4, 2025) - Devin Moran continued his winning ways with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing, capturing the 30-lap $7,000 Wieland Winter Nationals main event on Tuesday night at Ocala Speedway. Moran took the lead on lap 24 from Brandon Overton, who had led the first 23 laps, as the Dresden, Ohio driver secured his 17th career series victory. Overton, who fell back to third on a restart with five laps remaining, managed to get around Jonathan Davenport with two laps left. He then closed in on Moran at the end, finishing just .0264 seconds behind. Davenport secured the final spot on the Big River Steel Podium in third. The rest of the top five consisted of Carson Ferguson and Hudson O'Neal. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the second time in his career at Ocala and the second consecutive time this season, Moran recalls his early-week successes in previous years at Easy Bay. "Just like for the Winternationals at East Bay, I felt I was really good the first night, so bringing that over to Bubba's place is awesome, and taking his money is great too. As I mentioned earlier tonight, I thought the track would be pretty good, and it did seem good. Turns out, one and two finally started to come in once it slowed down. He (Overton) finally caught lapped traffic, which threw him off a bit. I've watched a lot of film and seen how to take different lines here to gain speed. I tried them all and finally found one that worked. It was really cool to get the first win of the week here. I wish it was a points night, but that's alright. We'll take the money and get ready for the rest of the week." Overton, who started on the Victory Fuel Pole, led unchallenged for the first 20 laps of the race until traffic started to play a part as a long stretch of green flag racing allowed Moran and Davenport to make it a three-way battle for the top spot. "I I was just trying to outsmart them on that restart. I figured he (Moran) would go to the bottom in turns one and two, but he went to the top on that restart, which really threw me off. I just wheelied and pushed and got back behind JD, and I was able to enter a little lower than everyone else in three. We had a good enough car to win. I just got too close to the lapped car and spun the tires leaving turn two. It was just one of those nights when running second felt better than being out front. So, we'll take it; we are making gains every day." Davenport created an exciting three-car battle before the caution flag waved with 25 laps completed. He briefly took second place when Overton slipped up the track on the restart, but Overton managed to pass him again on the final lap. "I I thought I had passed Overton before the caution, but they said I wasn't ahead of him that lap. We had a great race there. They got a bit held up in lapped traffic and I caught up to them. I found the top down on that end and we were just a little better. We tried something new tonight, but I don't think it worked as well. We know what we need to do to improve for tomorrow and the rest of the week. It's sunny in Florida, and it's 80 degrees; we're all having a good time down here."
