- Tony Stewart Named Grand Marshal Of The 40th Chili Bowl Nationals Powered by NOS Energy
TULSA, Okla. (January 5, 2025) When you envision the Mount Rushmore of racing, for many, the name Tony Stewart is on that list, and rightfully so. A USAC Triple-Crown titlist, Chili Bowl champion in 2002 and 2007, along with driving titles in NASCAR, IndyCar, NHRA, and SRX, to name a few, the list of accolades and accomplishments puts the man known as "Smoke" in a league of his own. Making his return to Tulsa in 2026, the Chili Bowl Nationals powered by NOS Energy Drink is honored to name the Columbus, Ind. native Grand Marshal of the 40th running of the World's Greatest Midget Race. "Not only is Tony a winner here, but he was also part of what really made the Chili Bowl take off in the early 2000s, and was the one who really started to rebuild the connection between dirt track and NASCAR fans. He's an ambassador to our sport at more levels than anyone; he's a great friend, and they don't make them like Tony anymore, so being able to honor him as our Grand Marshal means a lot to me, and this event," stated Chili Bowl co-founder, Emmett Hahn. "I remember, we made Tony an award in 2014 to recognize what he has done for Sprint Car racing, but this is our chance to let him know how much the Chili Bowl appreciates him." Along with the two Golden Drillers, Stewart has a dozen championship A-Feature starts in 14 appearances, three podiums, four top fives, and seven top tens. His last A-Feature appearance was in 2013. Stewart has also been part of the track preparation crew and spent several years working alongside Brad Chandler (aka Gravel), Steve Hahn, Matt Ward, and Martin Edwards. A driver and owner champion, Stewart owns titles in NASCAR, as well as 14 USAC owner titles, nine in the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series, and four in the All Star Circuit of Champions TQ Midgets Series, as well as wins in Sprint Car racing's most prestigious events, including the Knoxville Nationals, 12 times. The owner of the famed Eldora Speedway since 2004, Stewart's cars have won the King's Royal on six occasions. The 40th annual Chili Bowl Nationals powered by NOS Energy Drink takes place January 12-17, 2026, under the giant roof of the SageNet Center in Tulsa, Okla. Fans unable to attend the Chili Bowl Nationals can watch every lap live at http://www.floracing.com. Monday and Tuesday, reserved seats are available at (918) 838-3777, or at the event. Pit Passes are sold at the event and include general admission seating on the back straightaway. Pit Passes are $60 per weekday and $75 on Saturday. Those are sold at the event.

- Turkey Night Grand Prix Next for Brent and Grant Sexton
Lakeside, CA — November 5, 2025 — Southern California sprint car veterans Brent and Grant Sexton will return to action on Thanksgiving weekend for one of the sport's crown jewels—the Turkey Night Grand Prix at Jim Naylor's Ventura Raceway. The historic holiday classic will mark the father-and-son duo's first sprint car outing since tackling the Western World Championships at Central Arizona Raceway in late October. The debut trip to the Arizona oval for Sexton Gatlin Racing was anything but easy. Grant battled a stubborn fuel system that refused to cooperate, leaving patriarch Brent to carry the team's banner. A three-time California Lightning Sprint Car Series champion, Brent's night was cut short in his heat race by a faulty mag box on Friday, sidelining the bright #44 early. Returning Saturday, determined to turn things around, Brent's luck refused to change. A broken rear brake mount in his qualifier left him with only front brakes for the C-Main, but the veteran's steady hands kept him out of trouble long enough to transfer into the B-Main. Unfortunately, a sheared U-joint ended the night and the team's Arizona adventure prematurely. While the weekend proved frustrating for the Sextons, Sexton Gatlin Racing's rising rookie, Braydin Collie, gave the team something to smile about at the Ventura Raceway. The talented teen turned in the eighth-fastest qualifying time, won his heat race, and finished seventh in the 25-lap main event. Heading into the California Lightning Sprint Car Series finale at Bakersfield on November 25th, the El Cajon racer sits sixth in Motor City Buick/GMC championship points—just one point out of fifth—and second in Rookie of the Year standings. Though it is unlikely without a lot of good fortune, Collie remains mathematically alive in the Rookie of the Year chase. Before that finale in Bakersfield, he'll trade dirt for desert when he competes in Mexico's legendary Baja 1000 in a trophy truck next week. For more updates, follow Sexton Gatlin Racing on social media and stay tuned for results throughout the 2025 season. Sexton Gatlin Racing would like to thank the following companies for making the 2024 season possible. East County Electric Works, Keys Brothers, Geoff Dale, BR Motorsports, Maxima Oil, Automated Interiors, Valley Lubricant Services, Sexton Fire Protection, BK Wings, and Troy Dirt.

- Sprint Cars, Stock Cars, A Car Show, And Fan Appreciation Night At Perris Auto Speedway This Saturday
Perris, California — November 4, 2025 — Fans are in for a blockbuster evening this Saturday night, November 8th, when Heimark Distributors Anheuser Busch presents an unforgettable night of high-octane entertainment at Perris Auto Speedway. The program features the Avanti Windows USAC/CRA Sprint Cars, plus the PASSCAR Super Stocks, Street Stocks, and American Factory Stocks battling it out in the annual Jerry Dodd Champion's Night. Adding even more excitement, Oval Entertainment and Suns 7 Collective will host "Speed and Style," featuring the Cars N Coffee Riverside Car Show. And as if that weren't enough—it's Fan Appreciation Night, with adult admission just $25.00! Gates open at 5:00 p.m., and racing kicks off 30 minutes earlier than usual at 6:30 p.m. Saturday's show will mark the final 2025 appearance for both USAC/CRA and PASSCAR competitors. While Laveen, Arizona's RJ Johnson has clinched his second straight USAC/CRA championship, and Riverside's Shaun Estes has secured his first Street Stock crown since 2012, two titles are still on the line. David Stites enters the night with a slim 15-point lead over James Keller of Oak Hills in the Factory Stock Championship, while in the Super Stocks, 2023 champ Ricky Lee of Banning holds a razor-thin two-point edge over four-time PAS titleholder Chuck Becker of Yucaipa. "It is going to be a great night," promoter Don Kazarian said. "The USAC/CRA finale, with no two-time series champion RJ Johnson, will be complemented by USAC National drivers Mitchell Moles, who won last week, his teammate Hayden Reinbold, and Jake Swanson. It should be a great race once again. Last Saturday, the fight for the lead was fantastic between Moles and Austin Williams. Also, a full program with all three of our stock car classes and a showdown for the super stock title between Chuck Becker and Rickie Lee." "We are also looking forward to the 'Speed and Style' with the Cars N Coffee Riverside Car Show," Kazarian continued. "The response to the car show has been great, and we expect to see some beautiful cars on Saturday. The car show starts when the gates open, and it is included with the price of a race ticket."

- Chase Johnson Classic converges at Merced Speedway on November 22nd
Merced, CA…One of the more anticipated events each season in California is the November appearance by the USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midgets and Winged 360 Sprint Cars at Merced Speedway. This season the show has received an extra boost with the inaugural Chase Johnson Classic presented by American Rock and Rent taking to the Merced high banks on Saturday November 22nd. Both the USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midgets and Winged 360 Sprint Cars will hand out $5,000-to-win/ $500-to-start with additional prizes up for grabs during the night, which are noted at bottom of release. If anybody would like to contribute to the event, please contact chasejohnsonracing@yahoo.com "My goal for this race is to give back to the racing community and display my appreciation for all that they have done for me," Johnson stated. "I want to put on a fun event for the fans, teams and would like to thank everyone that has contributed to it thus far. We are still actively looking for additional sponsors and awards and would love to grow this race even more." The Chase Johnson Racing No. 24 team will have a show car on hand in the grandstands for kids/ adults to sit in and take photos. The CJR operation will be in the pit area with the race hauler. The 24-car in fact, will pace the field for both the Midget and Sprint Car features. Fans are encouraged to stop by after the races to hang out. An electric guitar performance will also kick things off in grand fashion for the National Anthem. All paid fans in the stands will receive a ticket to win a signed piece of memorabilia by all drivers racing during the night. The Chase Johnson Classic marks the final Winged 360 Sprint Car event of the season in the Golden State. Merced Speedway happens to be one of the more centrally located tracks in California, which should make for a solid field from throughout our state. The always action-packed quarter mile lies one hour and 45 minutes from Sacramento and just under an hour from Fresno. The muffler rule for Winged 360 Sprint Cars will be as follows: Flowmaster, SpinTech, Schoenfeld 14272735-78 or Extreme mufflers. Weight rule will be 1500 pounds with the driver fully suited in the car. Additional rules will fall in line with the Sprint Car Challenge Tour. An SCCT style format, minus the Dash, with a 24-car starting field will be utilized. Bixby, Oklahoma's Cannon McIntosh, who has been gaining Winged Sprint Car experience in California as of late, brings the USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midget point lead into the Golden State Swing. California native Justin Grant, Kevin Thomas Jr., Jacob Denney and Gavin Miller round out the top five in the standings. NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Larson of Elk Grove swept both the USAC National Midget and Winged 360 Sprint Car finale last November at Merced Speedway. Tickets for the Chase Johnson Classic presented by American Rock and Rent on Saturday November 22nd cost $30 for adults (ages 16 and up), while ages 5-15 cost $15. Those four and under are free.

- After Qualifying for Both Western World Championship Main Events, Eddie Tafoya Jr. Returns to Perris This Saturday
Chino Hills, CA — October 30, 2025 — Eddie Tafoya Jr. took on the best traditional sprint car drivers in the world last weekend when he battled the Amsoil USAC National Sprint Cars and the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars in the prestigious Western World Championships at Central Arizona Raceway. Tafoya was one of only three USAC/CRA drivers to qualify directly into both main events without needing to run a C main, B main, or take a provisional spot. A strong field of 46 cars turned out for two nights of intense 410 sprint car action. Tafoya, who raced at the same track south of Phoenix in Casa Grande earlier this year with USAC/CRA, timed in 25th fastest on night one. That put him in the loaded fifth and final heat race, where only the top four transferred directly to the main. The 2019 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year rose to the occasion, finishing fourth and locking himself straight into the 30-lap feature, avoiding the chaos of the lower mains. In the main event, the Chino Hills, California racer started 22nd and came home 23rd. On night two, Tafoya, 28, found himself in the second qualifier—an eight-lap, 13-car showdown where only the top five would advance directly to the A main. For the second straight night, he answered the challenge, finishing fourth and once again skipping the preliminary races. "It was definitely a weight off my shoulders, and it was a lot less work going straight into the mains from the heat races," the veteran racer said. "It was good to skip the B and the C at this race. We had a really good baseline setup. It's a great track that kind of suits my style. It's kind of wide open. You've just got to hit your marks and stay in the good dirt." The finale featured one of the toughest fields of 2025. Starting on the inside of row eight (15th), Tafoya advanced two positions to finish a solid 13th against the national stars. "Racing with them makes me a better driver," Tafoya added about competing against the national series racers. "Racing against those guys is the benchmark and the speed we try to be all the time. It just seems like whenever they come out here, we try to step it up—definitely find some speed and eliminate our mistakes. It helps me be a better driver." This Saturday, the second-generation driver looks to carry his Arizona momentum into Perris Auto Speedway. The event will mark his ninth appearance of the season at his home track, where he hopes to better his season-best fourth-place finish from September 9th. This Saturday, Perris Event Info: • Date: Saturday, November 1, 2025 • Location: Perris Auto Speedway, 18700 Lake Perris Drive, Perris, CA • Times: Spectator gates open at 5:00 p.m., racing at 6:30 p.m. • Tickets: Ages 13+ - $35.00 | Seniors (65+) - $30.00 | Kids 6-12 - $10.00 | Children 5 & under - Free • Parking: $20.00 (Fairgrounds parking is card only) • Tickets: Advance tickets at tix.com | Plenty of walk-up tickets available • Track Info: perrisautospeedway.com | 951-940-0134 Tafoya can be followed on Instagram at @eddietafoya51.
