- Sexton Gatlin Racing Hits the Road in Arizona and California This Week
Lakeside, CA — October 23, 2025 — It's a busy weekend ahead for the Lakeside, California-based Sexton Gatlin Racing team as they split up for action in two states. On Friday and Saturday, October 24th and 25th, veteran driver Brent Sexton and his 21-year-old son Grant will take on some of the nation's best in the prestigious Western World Championship at Central Arizona Speedway. At the same time, rising star Braydin Collie will represent the team Saturday night with the California Lightning Sprint Car Series at Ventura Raceway. Now eight months into a long and competitive 2025 campaign, Sexton Gatlin Racing's drivers have combined for 57 starts across 20 different racetracks in five states. The closest to home came at San Diego County's Barona Speedway, just minutes from their Lakeside shop. The farthest? Minnesota's Buffalo River Speedway, a whopping 2,000 miles from home base. For Brent, his best finish of the season came on September 20th when he grabbed a podium — third place — in the Ultimate Sprint Car Series main event at Ventura Raceway. Grant's standout run of the year, a fifth, came at Norman County Raceway in Ada, Minnesota, during the Minkota Lightning Nationals. Collie, the El Cajon teenager in his first full season, has also made his mark, earning a pair of third-place finishes — one at Bakersfield Speedway on June 7th and another at Minnesota's Buffalo River Speedway two months later. A three-time lightning sprint car series champion, Brent and his son Grant — the 2023 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year — opted for a "freelance" schedule in 2025, choosing to race where and when they want rather than chase points. This weekend marks their first-ever appearance at Central Arizona Speedway in Casa Grande, 50 miles south of Phoenix — and they couldn't have picked a tougher debut. The Western World attracts the top talent from both the USAC National and CRA Sprint Car Series, promising fierce competition from green to checkered. Meanwhile, Collie has turned heads in his rookie campaign with the California Lightning Sprint Car Series. Entering the weekend, he sits fifth in points, just 30 markers out of fourth, and second in the Rookie of the Year chase. With only two races left — Ventura this Saturday and the Bakersfield finale on November 25th — he's looking to finish his first full season on a high note. Fans wanting to catch Brent and Grant in Arizona can head to Central Arizona Speedway, where gates open at 3:00 p.m. and racing fires off at 6:00 p.m. both nights. Reserved seats are $50, and general admission is $40. Advance tickets are available at myracepass.com/events/549978. The track is located at 512 S. 11 Mile Corner Road, Casa Grande. For more information, visit the Central Arizona Raceway website or call (520) 754-0407. For those heading to Ventura Raceway to watch Collie, spectator gates open at 3:00 p.m., with racing beginning at 5:30 p.m. Adult tickets are $22, seniors (60+), military (with ID), and students (with ID) are $18, and kids 12 and under are free with a paid adult. Ventura Raceway is located at 10 W. Harbor Blvd., on the Ventura County Fairgrounds. Visit www.venturaraceway.com or call (805) 648-RACE for details. For fans unable to attend, both events will be streamed live on FloRacing. For more updates, follow Sexton Gatlin Racing on social media and stay tuned for results throughout the 2025 season.

- Joel Myers Jr. claims Trophy Cup title/ Tanner Holmes wins $10,000 main event
Tulare, CA…Joel Myers Jr. charged from 24th to eighth in the main event on Saturday night at Tulare Thunderbowl Raceway, securing the $30,000 Abreu Vineyards Trophy Cup benefiting the Rayce Rudeen Foundation championship for the first time in his career. While Myers captured the title Jacksonville, Oregon's Tanner Holmes picked up a thrilling late race win during the 50 lap Trophy Cup finale aboard the Tarlton & Son No. 21 mount. The event featured a dramatic and exciting conclusion on Saturday night with fantastic racing right from the drop of the green flag. Oregon driver Tyler Thompson made a memorable last corner move to take the final transfer spot into the feature. He then proceeded to jump into the lead at the start of the fully inverted A-main. Thompson held command until catching the wall in turn one and getting upside down, putting him out of the race. Washington youngster Levi Hillier then inherited the lead and did an impressive job keeping the talented field at bay for several laps. Tanner Holmes moved into the runner up spot on lap 19 and then gave chase after the leader. With fans on the edge of their seats Holmes blasted to the inside on lap 28 and made it side by side for the top spot. Hillier was caught in a tough spot and contacted the wall getting upside down to bring out a red flag. With Holmes now up front he soon had to deal with a fast-moving Spencer Bayston in the Works Limited W machine. The action was fast and furious around the Thunderbowl Raceway with a close race for the lead, along with the high point drivers moving their way forward from the rear. Bayston hounded Holmes for several laps and finally made the move by on lap 46 to grab the top spot. Holmes stayed close however and made a bold move to grab the lead back coming to the white flag. Bayston attempted to take it back on the final lap, but Holmes fended him to claim his first Trophy Cup main event win. Bayston came home second, followed by 12th starting Justyn Cox, who had a stellar run and was in contention for the Trophy Cup championship at times. Eleventh starting Kaleb Montgomery and 17th starter Dominic Scelzi rounded out the top five. 23rd starter Colby Copeland, Landon Brooks, 24th starter Joel Myers Jr., Austin Wood and 21st starter Ryan Bernal completed the top 10. When all was said and done Joel Myers Jr. wrapped up the Abreu Vineyards Trophy Cup 31 title by just three points over Colby Copeland. Myers piloted the Hayward Motorsports No. 19 to the championship with a strong drive in both his heat race and the main event on Saturday night. Copeland's run was also ultra impressive after visiting the work area early in the race. Scelzi, Cox and Montgomery comprised the remainder of the top five in points. The full points rundown can be viewed at https://www.tularetrophycup.com/standings/ On behalf of Thunderbowl Raceway and 26 Promotions we would like to thank everybody for their gracious support of the Trophy Cup and making it another special event. Stone Chevrolet Buick GMC Thunderbowl Raceway will wrap up the season on Friday November 21st with the USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midgets and USCS Non Winged Sprint Cars. … Results Trophy Cup Finale Thunderbowl Raceway 360 Sprint Cars 51 Entries A Feature 1 50 Laps | 01:02:07.920 1. 21-Tanner Holmes[4]; 2.

- After a Week in Yosemite, Brody Roa Heads Back to Battle at Perris Auto Speedway Saturday
Cypress, CA - October 12, 2025 — After a week of camping and recharging with his wife and daughters in the majestic Yosemite National Park, a rejuvenated Brody Roa is ready to get back behind the wheel when the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series returns to Perris Auto Speedway this Saturday, October 18th. For Roa, it's the first of three races in four weeks at the legendary Riverside County half-mile oval. Saturday's showdown comes just two weeks after another impressive performance from the veteran racer at Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway, where he earned his second In Memory of Jim and Chet Gardner Hard Charger award of the season. The Garden Grove, California star has a special connection with Mohave. It is the site of one of the most thrilling victories of his career, when he stormed from 11th to win a 30-lap USAC/CRA main event in dominating fashion on October 8, 2022. At the same track two weeks ago, Roa qualified 14th out of 28 cars with a lap of 14.549. He then piloted his immaculate #91R sprint car to a convincing victory in the first heat race of the night. It was his fifth USAC/CRA heat race win of 2025. True to form, Roa started deep in the feature but wasted no time charging through the pack. In the 30-lap main event, the 34-year-old methodically picked off eight competitors to claim a hard-earned sixth-place finish. So far this season in his own #91R machine, Roa has started nine main events, finishing in the top ten every time except for one. That came in June at Perris in a race that he had just taken the lead before being sidelined by misfortune. His 2025 stats include three top-five finishes and a season-best third at Perris three weeks ago. At Perris this year, Roa's average main event finish is a solid 7.28. Remove the race he was knocked out of, and that number improves to an impressive 5.66. That fine number offers proof that "The Pride of Garden Grove" is as fast and focused as ever heading into Saturday night's return to the "Southern California Home of USAC/CRA." Spectator gates at Perris open at 5:00 p.m. with racing at 7:00. Tickets for those 13 and over are $35.00. Kids 6-12 get in for $10.00, and children 5 and under are free. The fairgrounds charge $20.00 for parking (payment for parking is by card only). Perris Auto Speedway is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds at 18700 Lake Perris Drive in the city of Perris. For more information, please visit perrisautospeedway.com or call (951) 940-0134. Roa would like to thank his 2025 sponsors, "Biker" Bruce Fischer, Burris Racing, ALR Virtual Services, Caltrol, Molecule, and Wilwood Disc Brakes. If you would like to be a marketing partner with the team in 2025, contact Roa using the information at the top of this release.

- Eddie Tafoya Jr. Returns to Perris After Another Top-10 Finish
Chino Hills, CA — October 8, 2025 — After a brief break from competition, Eddie Tafoya Jr. will return to action when the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series resumes on Saturday, October 18th, at Perris Auto Speedway. The event will mark the 22nd start of the season for the Chino Hills, California, racer and his ninth appearance of the year at the track closest to his home. Tafoya, 28, heads into the night following another solid top-10 performance at the famed half mile on September 27th. On an evening when rain showers surrounded the facility and came within a mile of the oval, the driver of the eye-catching #51T qualified eighth quick with a lap of 17.066 seconds. The 2019 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year went on to finish fifth in his heat race. In the 30-lap main event, he started in the eighth position and maintained his consistent form to finish in the same spot against a tough field of competitors. In eight main event starts at Perris in 2025, the track's 2018 Young Guns Champion has finished inside the top 10 seven times. The only exception came in the season opener on March 1st, when loose belts forced him to slow mid-race and he placed 13th. His best Perris result this year is a fourth-place finish on September 13th in a race streamed live worldwide on Dirt Vision. His average main event finish in 2025 at the long-time Riverside County half mile stands at an impressive 8.125. Tafoya has qualified in seven of eight visits to The PAS this season. The lone miss occurred on August 16th, when a tumble during his first qualifying lap sidelined his effort.

- Last-Bend Heroics Net Brody Roa His Best Finish of 2025
Cypress, CA - October 2, 2025 — Brody Roa's strong season hit a new high last Saturday at Perris Auto Speedway, where a dramatic last-lap pass in turn three secured him a season-best third-place finish in the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series. Now, the "Pride of Garden Grove" is aiming two spots higher when USAC/CRA rolls into Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway this Saturday, October 4th. At Perris — the long-standing home of USAC/CRA since its debut in 2004 — Roa qualified ninth quick in the 16-car field. Lining up outside the front row in his heat, he left no doubt, charging to a dominant win. The 10-lap triumph was his fourth heat race victory of 2025, tying him for second-most on the season despite running a part-time schedule. In the 30-lap feature on the famous Riverside County half-mile, Roa lined up ninth and immediately began his march forward. Tom Malcolm was making similar progress, and the two wound up in a thrilling nose-to-tail battle inside the top five. With Malcolm holding third and Roa glued to his tail tank, the laps ticked away in a tense duel for the podium. Time was running out until Roa seized his chance — diving low into turn three on the final lap, sliding past Malcolm, and beating him back to the stripe for third. It was a fitting exclamation point on one of the most exciting drives of his 2025 campaign. "I am really confident racing with Tommy," Roa said of the battle for third. "We duked it out all year in 2023. It was mainly him and I racing for wins that year. I had a lot of fun racing with him on Saturday. It took me back to that year a bit. I don't think, even back in 2023, that we even touched a wheel. I know he is going to race me clean. So, I am going to race him clean and we race each other hard." The 34-year-old was very pleased with the result and with the performance of his Dash 12 engine. "I think we are getting closer," Roa responded about getting the Dash 12 all figured out. "Honestly, the hardest thing I have come to learn is the horsepower we have. I have had to race harder (this year) to try and win races than I had to over the past 10 years. That is fun for me. It is challenging. I have to really hustle this race car to have a good night. I look forward to showing up with it." Roa has raced 10 times in 2025. Seven of the 10 have been at Perris. He is looking forward to racing at Mohave this week. "Honestly, it is probably one of my favorite race tracks out here in the west," the Garden Grove, California driver enthused. "Of all the places we race with CRA, it is probably my favorite race track on the schedule. It suits my style a bit. It is slick, it doesn't have grip, it is dusty. If there is moisture on the racetrack, it is not gooey, sticky. A race track that gets really sticky when it has moisture in it is not my style. I like stuff that is more sandy, and you can slide around on it, and you have to be more precise with your lines. I have really liked Mohave Valley Raceway since the first time we showed up. It is fun to race on, and for the size and layout, it is pretty racy, too." "I think we will have a little bit more of an even playing field with this engine at Mohave," Roa continued. "The last time I was there, Jake Helsel, in Bobby Ream's car, led most of the race with a 360. I think that is what is the most exciting part of what we have now (The Dash 360). Mohave is a track where it does not take a thousand horsepower to win." To see Roa live at Mohave Valley Raceway, gates open at 5:00 p.m. with racing at 7:00. Adult admission is $25.00, kids 6-12 are $15.00, and children 5 and under are free. Tickets are cash only at the gate (no ATMs onsite). Concessions, souvenirs, and the beer garden accept cash and cards. For more details, visit mohavevalleyraceway.com or call (928) 346-6000. Perris Auto Speedway is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds at 18700 Lake Perris Drive in the city of Perris. For more information, please visit perrisautospeedway.com or call (951) 940-0134.

- HOWARD SHOOTS STRAIGHT AT GUNTOWN FOR THIRD STRAIGHT USAC WIN
USCS National point leader Dale Howard of Byhalia, MS closed in on the 2025 United Sprint Car Series Outlaw Thunder Tour Presented By Hoosier Racing Tire 2025 National Championship with his third straight series win on Friday night in the 25-lap Feature Race at Pine Ridge Speedway.
- After a 3rd Place at Ventura, Brent Sexton Heads to Mohave Valley Raceway
Lakeside, CA — October 1, 2025 — After a week of R&R at the river, Sexton Gatlin Racing is gearing up for Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway this Saturday night, October 4th, as the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series continues. The outing comes just two weeks after Brent Sexton scored a career-best full-size sprint car third-place finish in the Ultimate Sprint Car Series at Ventura Raceway. The night at Ventura began with qualifying, when 21-year-old SGR driver Grant Sexton clicked off a 12.748 lap, good for fourth in his group. With the track slowing down, only one car in the final two groups bested his mark, giving him the sixth-fastest time overall. Brent, qualifying in the final group, clocked a 13.180 lap—second in his group but only 11th overall. In preliminary action, Grant started and finished fourth in his heat, while Brent advanced from second to third in his. That set the stage for the 30-lap feature, with Grant rolling off seventh and Brent from ninth. The early laps saw little change, though Grant climbed to challenge for fifth just past halfway. Then came disaster: the two cars in front of him tangled, with one flipping and landing on Grant's machine. The damage ended his night early, leaving him with a frustrating 17th-place finish. Meanwhile, Brent narrowly avoided a first-turn incident on lap one and went to work. Restarting sixth after Grant's misfortune, he steadily picked off cars. By the white flag, he was up to third. A late yellow set up a green-white-checkered finish, and Brent dove low to briefly challenge for second. Twice he nosed ahead, but the runner-up of most of the race reclaimed the inside line on the final turn, forcing Brent to settle for a hard-fought third. The result was Brent's best full-size sprint car finish of 2025, topping his previous best of fifth at Ocean Speedway in March. This week's return to Mohave Valley brings back fond memories for the team. In what many consider Brent's finest lightning sprint victory, in October 2022, he rebounded from an off-track excursion to steal the lead on the final lap. Coming off turn four to a roaring crowd, he edged ahead at the line by a car length, with SGR teammates AJ Bender and Dalton Sexton close behind in second and third. Gates at Mohave Valley Raceway open at 5:00 p.m. with racing at 7:00. Adult admission is $25, kids 6-12 are $15, and children 5 and under are free. Tickets are cash only at the gate (no ATMs onsite). Concessions, souvenirs, and the beer garden accept cash and cards. For more details, visit mohavevalleyraceway.com or call (928) 346-6000.

- Eddie Tafoya Jr. Heads Back to Perris After Season-Best Run
Chino Hills, CA — September 25, 2025 — Fresh off his best outing of the season, Eddie Tafoya Jr. will be back in action this Saturday, September 27th, when Perris Auto Speedway hosts the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars. Two weeks ago, Tafoya charged from deep in the field to finish fourth and captured the "In Memory of Jim and Chet Gardner Hard Charger Award" for passing more cars than any other driver on the famous half-mile oval. The 27-year-old Chino Hills, California racer entered that race on the heels of another strong fourth-place finish when the Ultimate Sprint Car Series visited Petaluma Speedway in the Bay Area on September 1st. Tafoya, the 2018 Perris Auto Speedway Young Guns champion, opened his most recent PAS appearance by qualifying 13th in the 21-car field with a lap of 17.441 seconds. He then advanced to fourth in his heat race. In the 30-lap main event, the 2019 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year lined up on the inside of the seventh row in 13th. To make things more challenging, the World of Outlaws winged feature was moved ahead of the USAC/CRA finale at the last minute, creating a slicker surface and making passing more difficult for most of the non-wing competitors. However, that was not the case for Tafoya in his sharp-looking #51T. The second-generation driver sliced through the field, picking off 13 cars and taking the checkered flag in fourth. His charge forward may have been even greater if he had not run out of laps. Fans who want to see Tafoya in person on Saturday can find complete race details below. Event Info: Date: Saturday, September 27, 2025 Location: Perris Auto Speedway, 18700 Lake Perris Drive, Perris, CA Times: Spectator gates open at 5:00 p.m. with racing at 7:00.

- Brody Roa Is Ready to Pass More Cars Saturday at The PAS
Cypress, CA - September 24, 2025 — When it comes to spotting a driver charge through the field at Perris Auto Speedway this Saturday night, when the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series visits, fans can easily find the bright green #91R of Brody Roa. In six starts on the Riverside County clay oval this season, Roa has advanced his position in five of them. The lone exception came on June 21st when a crash took him out of the main event while battling for the lead. In the five races he has completed, the 34-year-old from Garden Grove, California, has an average starting spot of 11.4. He has only started 10th or better two times. His average finish is 6.6, and he has gained a total of 26 positions for an average of 5.2 spots gained per race. While known as a top star, Roa has never been known for his qualifying. However, he has earned nine Woodland Auto Display Fast Time awards during his USAC/CRA career. His first fast time came at the Santa Maria Speedway on June 6, 2014, and his last was at the Mohave Valley Raceway on May 6, 2023. He has outqualified the field at Perris on four occasions. The last of those was on August 21st, 2021. This year, he is competing with a Dash 12 engine, giving up some horsepower to his rivals. His average qualifying spot at Perris is 10.33, which means he is starting mid-pack in most of the 30-lap main events. However, the 2023 series champion makes up for it with racing savvy and his ability to slice through traffic. "It is something that is a trend," Roa said. "When we do qualify bad, we do not let it mess up our night now. It is what it is. We just look at each other and say, 'let's go racing.' It is always something I have kind of dealt with. I am stuck in that qualifying problem until the end of time I think." Starting in the middle of the field, Roa and his crew have decisions to make, including on whether to set the car up for early or late track conditions. "I would kind of like to say both," Roa answered on how the team sets his car up for the main when he is coming from mid-pack. "I guess more for the beginning of the race. I like to make our car maneuverable. At the beginning, with traffic, you can probably not get up and bang the cushion too hard with cars in the way in front of you. I run everything, maybe a little freer to start. Just to be able to turn back across the track, to hit some slick, and to hit something off the bottom. Just to be able to move around the track. Once you get up to the guys toward the top five, then you adjust the thing to where you need to be." "Perris this year has been different from visit to visit," he continued. I don't know if that is a factor of me running just once a month and not being super sharp on it right off the bat. That last race at Perris, with the Outlaws, kind of threw me for a loop for a little bit in the feature. I thought we would be able to get up and run around the curb. But the thing was so big, and it was slick, too. It took longer for the non-wing cars to get up there." "Honestly, with this DRC that we got a couple of years ago, I just show up to the track the exact same way every time," Roa boasted. "That was what we did all through 2023 (when he won the championship). It did not really matter what track we went to or what the conditions were. We adjusted the tire pressure a little to start the night, but the basic car setup was the same everywhere." The last time out at Perris two weeks ago, he qualified 14th, finished second in his eight-lap heat race, and started 14th in the A main. He steered forward six positions to finish eighth. Fans can see Roa and all of the other stars in action this Saturday at Perris Auto Speedway. Spectator gates open at 5:00 p.m., with racing at 7:00. Tickets for those 13 and over are $35.00. For kids 6-12, it is only $10.00, and children 5 and under are free. Fairgrounds parking, which is only payable with a card, is $20.00. Advance tickets are available at tix.com, and walk-up tickets will also be available at the track ticket window on Saturday. Perris Auto Speedway is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds at 18700 Lake Perris Drive in the city of Perris. For more information, please visit perrisautospeedway.com or call (951) 940-0134.

- Brody Roa Ready for Saturday's So Cal Showdown at Perris Auto Speedway
Cypress, CA - September 12, 2025 — Fresh off a season-best USAC/CRA fourth-place finish at Perris Auto Speedway on August 16, Southern California sprint car standout Brody Roa is set for battle in tomorrow night's So Cal Showdown. The popular Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars will share the stage with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Cars on the famous half-mile clay oval. Spectator gates open at 5:00 p.m., with racing at 7:00. The last time the Outlaws and USAC/CRA teams combined for a doubleheader at The PAS, Roa was actually on the other side of the fence—competing with the Outlaws in 2022. That season, he and his team put together a "fun-first" schedule, which included a handful of winged sprint car races. Roa's winged journey kicked off on February 26, 2022, with a King of Thunder event at Hanford, where he scored a solid ninth-place finish in the A-main. A month later, he faced the Outlaws for the first time at Bakersfield Speedway, finishing ninth in the B-main. The very next night, he rolled into Perris to take on the Outlaws again. After finishing ninth in his heat, Roa started seventh in the B-main, needing to crack the top six to transfer. With one of the largest crowds in track history cheering him on, he reeled in the final transfer spot, made the pass, and pulled away to secure his spot in the feature. "That was the year we kind of bounced around just having fun," Roa said of the 2022 campaign. "Experimenting with all the wing stuff and trying something new. I think there were like two cars that missed the main event. It was exciting, and I passed Noah Gas. We passed him for the last transfer. It was a tough race. It had him, Tanner Thorson, and I think Logan Schuchart was in the race. It was like a 7-car B main." Starting 24th in the main event, Roa passed several cars before disaster struck on lap 21 when a car got out of shape in front of him. With nowhere to go, Roa made contact, damaging the wings and flattening the left front tire. Per Outlaw rules, there is no extra time in the work area after lap 20, and with too much damage to repair in time, his night ended with a 24th-place finish. "Honestly, not much," Roa laughed when asked what his expectations were racing against the Outlaws. "We ran the two nights with Outlaws, and we ran a couple of nights at Hanford with NARC, I think. It was like let's show up and try something new with no expectations and have fun again. It was a little refresher from what we had always done, and it was a lot of fun trying something new and experimenting. It was doing some stuff that was outside of our comfort zone." That would turn out to be the Garden Grove, California driver's most recent winged race. A planned NARC start at Hanford in April of 2022 was canceled when dangerous winds forced the promoter to call off the show. Just like in 2022, Roa is racing mainly for fun this season, focusing on Perris but leaving the door open to future winged opportunities should the right ride come along. "At this point, I just like driving Sprint cars," Roa Stated. "You know non-wing stuff is my history and my passion. That wing stuff was super fun, and I would do it again. I don't think I was terrible in the wing car. I thought I was pretty comfortable. Just needed some experience." "I'm having fun taking this thing out to Perris every month," he assured. "Me, my dad, my uncle, family, and Joe (Joe Gibb). He's (Gibb) going to miss this weekend, and my dad is having a procedure tomorrow. He's not going to be able to help on Saturday, but he is going to be there to watch over things and see how it goes." "I've reached out to a half dozen people that I know who I would like to come out and help, and they're not available," Roa lamented. "So, if anybody wants the experience of working on a non-wing sprint car, we need a couple of hands on Saturday. We will be there either way. Tailor (his wife) and I have made plans, and we are going to take the car out. We are bringing our girls out (young daughters Addison and Rylee). It will be a family event." Fans can see Roa and all of the other stars in action this Saturday at Perris Auto Speedway. Spectator gates open at 5:00 p.m., with racing at 7:00. Advance tickets are available now at worldofoutlaws.com, and walk-up tickets will also be available at the track ticket window.

- Eddie Tafoya Jr. Ready for Perris' Biggest Sprint Car Night of 2025
Chino Hills, CA — September 7, 2025 — After a weekend off following three straight nights of racing in Northern California, Eddie Tafoya Jr. returns to action this Saturday, September 13th, when Perris Auto Speedway hosts its biggest sprint car program of the season. Tafoya will pilot his familiar #51T in the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series that sharing the spotlight with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Cars in a rare and exciting open-wheel doubleheader. The 27-year-old Chino Hills, California racer comes into the event with momentum, fresh off his best finish of 2025 — a fourth-place run in the Ultimate Sprint Car Series at Petaluma Speedway on Labor Day. In just his second career start with the USCS, and his first appearance at Petaluma since 2019, Tafoya charged forward from seventh on the grid to secure the top-five result on the tight 3/8-mile oval. Earlier that evening, Tafoya was third-fastest in his qualifying group, seventh overall of the 20 cars on hand and recorded a third-place finish in his 10-lap heat race. "The night went well," Tafoya said of Petaluma. "The track changes a lot. You kind of start tightening up the car and then go back to where you started for the main event. Just had to make sure the car was drivable after the two previous nights." The strong Petaluma outing came on the heels of Tafoya's participation in the historic reopening of Calistoga Speedway over Labor Day weekend. Racing returned to the iconic half-mile for the first time in six years in front of sellout crowds. On night one, Tafoya timed in eighth-fastest among 34 cars, finished fifth in his heat, and transferred through the B-main before ending the A-main in 16th. Night two saw him post the 18th-quickest qualifying lap, grab a second in his heat, and lock into the feature, where he placed 18th. "I was pretty excited to go back there," Tafoya said of his return to the big half mile. " I am always happy to go to big fast racetracks. Unfortunately, the results didn't necessarily pan out how we wanted but we still had fun up there. The first night I had a good starting spot in eighth. I just think I was way to tight. I was trying to compensate on how slick the dirt was getting but then it ended up getting rough so I was kind of caught in a sticky situation. I was just stuck." "The second night, it felt a lot better in the heat race and I almost won it," Tafoya continued. " In the main, we had a right rear shock let go. So I was all over the place and on the verge of being out of control, so I brought it in early." Tafoya, the 2019 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year, will now look to build on that experience as he tackles one of the biggest stages of the season at Perris Auto Speedway. "I really do not think about it once I am inside the racecar," Tafoya said when asked about racing in front of big crowds. "It is definitely cool to see afterwards when the people come down and appreciate the things we do. We are definitely small compared to a lot of other motorsports so its nice to have some recognition." Event Info: Date: Saturday, September 13, 2025 Location: Perris Auto Speedway, 18700 Lake Perris Drive, Perris, CA Tickets: Advance tickets available at worldofoutlaws.com. Plenty of walk-up tickets will also be available. Track Info: perrisautospeedway.com | 951-940-0134 Tafoya can be followed on Instagram at @eddietafoya51.

- Eddie Tafoya Jr. Heads North for Labor Day Weekend Tripleheader
Chino Hills, CA — August 28, 2025 — For the first time since 2021, Chino Hills, California, sprint car racer Eddie Tafoya Jr. is heading to Northern California for three big races over Labor Day weekend. The now-veteran driver will kick things off this Saturday and Sunday, August 30th and 31st, competing in the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series 14th Annual Louie Vermeil Classic at the legendary Calistoga Speedway. On Labor Day Monday, he'll make the short trip to Petaluma Speedway to battle with the Ultimate Sprint Car Series. The weekend at Calistoga is one of the most highly anticipated events on the West Coast in 2025. Shuttered since 2019, the picturesque half-mile clay oval seemed doomed until the city purchased the fairgrounds property, bringing racing back to the historic venue. For 28-year-old Tafoya, it will be just his second trip to Calistoga. The last time he raced there came on September 1, 2019 — the track's final event before the shutdown — during the season he earned USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year honors. That night he qualified 16th in a 24-car field, started 16th, and finished 15th in the main event. His most recent outing at Petaluma Speedway came in 2021, when he placed 11th in the USAC/CRA main event on the tight 3/8-mile clay oval after returning from a summer racing stint in Indiana. Tafoya heads north after an impressive performance two weeks ago at Perris Auto Speedway. A violent qualifying crash left his car badly damaged, but he and his crew went to work immediately, thrashing in the pits to get the #51T ready for his heat race. Forced to start at the rear of both his heat and the 30-lap main due to not recording a qualifying time, Tafoya charged forward spectacularly. After starting eighth in his eight-lap heat race, he advanced to fourth in the heat. In the main, he started 24th, steered his car impressively through the pack, and avoided the on-track chaos. All told, he passed 16 cars in the feature to finish 8th and capture the In Memory of Jim and Chet Gardner Hard Charger Award. Fans unable to make the trip to Northern California can catch both nights of the Louie Vermeil Classic live on Flo Racing, with coverage beginning at 5:00 p.m. PDT. Tafoya can be followed on Instagram at @eddietafoya51. The Tafoya Racing 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 their continued support of the 2025 season.

- After Two Months Off, Brody Roa Is Itching To Get Back In His Racecar Saturday At Perris
Cypress, CA - August 14, 2025 — Fifty-six days may not sound like a long time, but for 2023 USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series champion Brody Roa, it's felt like an eternity. That stretch without strapping into his sprint car ends this Saturday night when his bright green #91R rolls into the pit area at Perris Auto Speedway for battle in the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Series. Roa, who calls Garden Grove, California home, last competed at Perris on June 21. That night, the 15-year sprint car veteran was having his best outing of the season. He qualified fourth fastest of the 20-car field, advanced from fifth to fourth in his heat race, and earned the third starting spot for the main event on the famous half-mile clay oval. In the feature, the 34-year-old wasted no time charging to the front, stealing the lead coming off turn two on lap three. But moments later, a slide through turn four got a little too sideways, slowing his momentum. Another car had nowhere to go and made contact, ending Roa's night early. That charge to the lead — with the car handling better than it had all year — only made him hungrier to get back behind the wheel. "I am excited," Roa enthused on Thursday evening. "Not racing a ton this year and then taking two months off in the middle of the season. I have got the itch to go again. I have tinkered on the car a little bit over the last two months. I actually put it on the ground today and took some measurements. We are all ready to go. I think that kind of showed that by the end of the night, we were pretty good." The second-generation driver took the July race at Perris off as it was on the same day as his daughter Rylee's second birthday party. Even though he has not been in the car for nearly two months, Roa does not think there will be any issues getting back into the swing of things on Saturday. "Getting in the right mindset is not too difficult for me," he replied when asked if he is racer ready. "It takes a few laps, probably hot laps and qualifying to get things felt out again and get in a rhythm. As far as mindset goes, I have been doing it long enough that I can turn that mode on once we get to the racetrack." Roa is still looking for a ride or someone who has an engine to team up with for the upcoming USAC/CRA races at the grand reopening of the famous Calistoga Speedway on Labor Day weekend. "Nothing yet," Roa answered when asked if he had put anything together. "I have had a couple of conversations. Even if we found an engine and put it in our stuff, obviously, that is a lot of money for our team to go up and do it. I have got a little backing to do it. Just nothing with the right engine or right car to go and really make it worth it has come through yet. I am still open to something that might pop up. If it is the right opportunity, not just for me, but for the car owner or engine owner to do it, I will. As of right now, I am going to be watching on Flo." Fans eager to see Roa and the rest of the USAC/CRA stars in action can head to Perris Auto Speedway this Saturday. Spectator gates open at 5:00 p.m. with racing at 7:00. Tickets are $35.00 for ages 13 and up, $30.00 for seniors 65 and over, $10.00 for kids 6-12, and free for children 5 and under. The fairgrounds charge $20.00 for parking. Advance tickets are available at tix.com, and walk-up tickets will be sold on race night. For more information, visit www.perrisautospeedway.com or call (951) 940-0134. The track is located at 18700 Lake Perris Drive in the City of Perris. Interested in teaming up with Brody Roa for Calistoga?

- CHASE HOWARD GOES WIRE-TO-WIRE TO WIN NIGHT 2 OF THE USCS CLAYHILL CLASH
Chase Howard of Nesbit, MS took the lead from the Pole Position at the drop of the green flag and led all 30 laps of the Feature Race in Night 2 of the Clayhill Clash for the United Sprint Car Series Outlaw Thunder Tour Presented By Hoosier Racing Tire on Saturday night at Clayhill Motorsports Park.
- Brody Roa Looking Forward to Calistoga Doubleheader on Labor Day Weekend
Cypress, CA - August 7, 2025 — 2023 USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series champion Brody Roa is eager to be part of the long-awaited return of the Louie Vermeil Classic at the historic Calistoga Speedway on August 30th and 31st. The 14th running of the prestigious event will mark the grand re-opening of the iconic track, which has been dormant since 2019. Roa, one of the most respected and consistent drivers on the West Coast, is currently seeking someone with a 410 engine to install in his own chassis or is open to driving someone else's competitive ride for the weekend doubleheader. Opened in 1937, Calistoga Speedway is one of the most picturesque and fastest half-mile dirt ovals in the country. Like many drivers, Roa has been anxiously waiting for its return. His recent results at the track back up his enthusiasm: from 2017 to 2019, Roa started all six USAC/CRA main events held at Calistoga, recording five top-10 finishes, including two top-fives. "It's a pretty historic track," Roa said. "In the years I've been racing, it's definitely my favorite track in California. It's big, fast, and wide—it puts on great racing. It's the fastest track I've raced on in the state." So far in 2025, Roa, who lives in Garden Grove, California, has primarily focused on the USAC/CRA Series, collecting five top-10 finishes in seven starts using a Dash 12 engine. While that powerplant works well on smaller tracks, Roa is looking for more horsepower to tackle Calistoga's demanding high-speed layout. "I'm open to either option," Roa explained. "We could bring our car up with a stronger engine, or I'd be happy to jump into a competitive ride. Calistoga is back, and I don't want to miss it. If someone has a ride open—or a 410 they'd like to drop into my car and put their name on the hood—I'm ready." Beyond the racing, Roa and his wife, Tailor, have always enjoyed the trip to Calistoga, located in Northern California's scenic wine country. This year's event will be extra special, as it will mark the first visit for daughters Addison and Rylee. "Tailor and I always loved going up there—not just for the racing but for everything the area has to offer," Roa shared. "The last time we went was in 2019 before the girls were born. So, this will be a fun family adventure having them along with us." Interested in teaming up with Brody Roa for Calistoga? Contact him directly at 714-932-7994 or via email at brodyroa91@gmail.com. Roa would like to thank his 2025 sponsors, "Biker" Bruce Fischer, Burris Racing, ALR Virtual Services, Caltrol, Molecule, and Wilwood Disc Brakes.

- Eddie Tafoya Jr. Set to Return to Action at Perris, Calistoga, and Placerville
Chino Hills, CA — August 4, 2025 — After a brief summer break, Eddie Tafoya Jr. is ready to get back behind the wheel when the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series returns to Perris Auto Speedway on Saturday, August 16th. The race marks the beginning of a busy late-summer schedule for the driver of the Specialty Fasteners #51T. Following the Perris event, Tafoya and the team will head north for one of the most anticipated weekends in recent sprint car history — the grand re-opening of the legendary Calistoga Speedway on August 30th and 31st. The doubleheader promises to be a major highlight on the USAC/CRA calendar. Then, on September 1st, Tafoya will cap off the Labor Day holiday weekend by competing with the Ultimate Sprint Car Series at Placerville Speedway. Prior to the break, Tafoya raced at his home track, Perris Auto Speedway, on July 19th — just 10 days after celebrating his 28th birthday. Though the final result wasn't what he'd hoped for, the Southern California veteran showed speed and poise throughout the night. He qualified a strong seventh fastest out of 21 cars with a lap of 16.875. In his heat race, the 2018 PAS Young Gun Champion and 2019 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year started and finished fourth in a stacked field. That set him up in the seventh position for the 30-lap main event. In front of the second-largest crowd of the season, Tafoya jumped into a fierce battle for fifth place early in the main. Showing the speed to challenge for a top-four spot, his momentum was unfortunately stalled by lapped traffic. After clearing a slower car, Tafoya's night took an unfortunate turn when he came to a stop in turn one, ending his charge. Despite the setback, Tafoya's performance showed his car and confidence are in the right place heading into the late-season stretch. "I just have to eliminate the mistakes and figure how to get around traffic when it gets slick like that," Tafoya said. "I was dealing with traffic and switching lines every lap. The lapper would go to where I switched to. I was just kind of going back and forth. I finally got a good run down the front straight. I just held it on a little longer than I should have just to get around the lapper. Then I got in the slick and locked up the brakes and slid to a stop." Forced to restart at the back of the field with only limited laps remaining, the odds were stacked against him. But Tafoya wasn't done. He mounted a determined comeback, charging through the field and clawing his way back to a 10th-place finish at the checkered flag — a clear indicator of the team's pace and persistence. "I thought for a second there we were going to start on the front row again (after qualifying), but we missed it by .01," Tafoya commented about the night of racing. "That definitely could have changed the way that main event went for us." "I am happy with the speed, and I think I have been driving good," he continued. "I just have to focus and put it all together on the same night. I have been trying to put myself in a good position and we have been doing that lately. Part of it is mental and part is car set up and stuff like that. Knowing that you have enough to be up there, we have definitely been showing that lately." 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 their 2025 racing endeavors.
