  Joel Myers Jr. makes the final lap count in Nor*Cal Posse Shootout thriller

  Placerville, CA…A green, white, checkered restart set up a classic finish at the Nor*Cal Posse Shootout on Saturday, where Joel Myers Jr. blasted around race long leader Ryan Bernal off the final corner to claim the $8,000 top prize. Myers Jr. finished runner up in the Placerville Speedway standings back in 2021 and had been oh-so-close to a victory at the track before. The Sebastopol driver made his initial win on the red clay pay off in dramatic fashion aboard the All About Fire Protection/ Dirt Dude's Excavating No. 46jr. "This is really a testament to my team who have worked their tails off," Myers Jr. said in victory lane. "Ivan Warden and my guys gave me a great car. I could get the middle going and pace off Ryan's right rear to stay close. I thought I may have something if I ripped the top and luckily it worked out for us." The initial 27-laps in the feature clicked off caution free and provided some intense racing up front. Hollister's Ryan Bernal jumped out to the lead and led a very fast Chance Grasty from Suisun City, who stayed glued to his tail tank. The duo kept fans on the edge of their seats and when lapped traffic came into play things got hectic. With Bernal and Grasty fighting for the top spot, Myers Jr. then inched in on them and made it a three-car battle for the lead. The long green flag run came to a halt however, when Grasty hopped over the cushion in three and four. As he came back down onto the track, he unfortunately met with Austin Wood at just the wrong moment, which sent him down into the K-rail for a caution. When going back green Bernal fended off Myers Jr. until a red flag appeared with just two circuits remaining. During the final dash to the finish, it was Bernal, Myers Jr. and Shane Golobic who pleased the fans with an exhilarating tussle to the end. Heading down the backstretch for the final time and entering turn three, Bernal went low, while Myers Jr. rocketed to the top. Bernal didn't get off turn four as smoothly as he wanted, while Myers hit it perfectly to shoot past and score the thrilling triumph. Bernal crossed the stripe in second to cap a strong weekend that saw him sweep both nights with USCS and earn a third-place result in the Winged Sprint Car opener. Golobic, Wood and Clarksburg's Justyn Cox completed the top five. Rounding out the top 10 were Dominic Gorden, Andy Forsberg, Tanner Carrick, Justin Sanders and Dominic Scelzi. A total 36 competitors were on hand to finish the Nor*Cal Posse Shootout/ Legends Weekend presented by Berco Redwood. Chance Grasty set Fast Time to begin the program with a lap of 10.750. The Ultimate Sprint Car Series, as noted, saw Ryan Bernal claim a clean sweep of the weekend after he tallied another win on Saturday. The feature was plagued by several hard crashes, but fortunately all drivers walked away unscathed. Early on it was Braden Chiaramonte and Jacob Tuttle racing up front for the lead. Chiaramonte eventually edged ahead and led the field until Tanner Carrick had a monster run off turn two with 12 laps complete. Just as Carrick was looking to shoot underneath, Chiaramonte had issues on the cushion that sent him sideways. The pair met up, resulting in Carrick suffering a wicked flip down the back stretch. Both drivers were done for the program, and it gave Bernal the top spot that he would never relinquish. Due to time, the main event was checkered flagged at lap 20 and Bernal brought home the win over Carson Short, Josh Young, Tuttle and Austin Wood. Placerville Speedway returns to action with Anrak Night at the Races on Saturday May 10th.

  Justin Sanders and Ryan Bernal snag wins on a wild Nor*Cal Posse Shootout opener

  Placerville, CA…Justin Sanders started from the pole and led flag-to-flag for his 26th career Winged 360 Sprint Car triumph at Placerville Speedway during the Nor*Cal Posse Shootout opener. Sharing victory lane on Friday at the Nor*Cal Posse Shootout/ Legends Weekend presented by Berco Redwood was Hollister's Ryan Bernal, who earned a thrilling late race win with the Ultimate Sprint Car Series. With the victory on Friday evening, Sanders matched Sean Becker for fourth place on the all-time Winged 360 Sprint Car win list at the track. The driver of the Dale Miller Septic/ Thompson's Dealerships No. 4sa was poised as always in lapped traffic, while keeping a very fast Shane Golobic at bay throughout the feature. Sanders earned the pole of the Dash by way of winning his heat race out of fourth starting with a bold move on the initial start. He went on to win the six-lap contest, putting him on the pole in the feature. When the green flag waved in the 30-lap main event, he immediately jumped out front ahead of Golobic. The duo showed that they were the drivers to beat on this night and never got too far away from each other. Golobic kept Sanders within sight, but a couple of timely slow downs just as he was getting ready to pounce hampered his efforts. A trio of red flags along with several cautions plagued the flow of the race, but in between it, several movers and shakers were seen. As the race wound down in lapped traffic, Golobic caught Sanders, and it looked like we would be in for a classic battle towards the checkered. Just as that happened, however, a red flag period occurred with only four circuits remaining. The incident involved Clarksburg's Justyn Cox, who had put on an exceptional charge from 14th to fifth up until that point. Sanders then hit a perfect restart and led the final four laps to pick up the win over Golobic, Hollister's Ryan Bernal, Sacramento's Austin Wood and Auburn's Andy Forsberg. Completing the top 10 were Colby Copeland, Joel Myers Jr., Tyler Thompson, Chance Grasty and Hard Charger Shane Hopkins, who started 19th after fighting through issues in hot laps and qualifying. A strong field of 39 Winged Sprint Cars competed on opening night. Tony Gomes set the standard in qualifying with a lap of 10.726 around the quarter mile. The Ultimate Sprint Car Series made an epic Placerville Speedway debut on Friday night. Outstanding racing was seen right from the drop of the green flag and lasted all the way to an overtime- green, white, checkered conclusion. Winged Sprint Car regular Tanner Carrick hopped out to the early lead and set a torrid pace up front. The Lincoln driver was very impressive as he looked for his second career USCS victory. The action behind him was hot and heavy all throughout the field. Braden Chiaramonte took over second early on and methodically closed the gap between himself and the leader. With traffic coming into play, Chiaramonte closed quickly off turn two and snagged the top spot with 20 laps complete. After that he pulled away, eventually accepting the white flag. He looked to be headed for victory, only to have a stalled car bring out a yellow instead of the checkered. Always the Non-Winged ace, Ryan Bernal started from ninth and had battled back and forth with several drivers. He moved into third just past the halfway point, before utilizing the late caution to make his move. The overtime restart saw Bernal rocket by Carrick for second coming to the white flag and then shoot under Chiaramonte down the back stretch. The exhilarating finish saw Bernal come out on top over Chiaramonte, Carrick, Roseville's Josh Young and Illinois traveler Carson Short. Finishing sixth through 10th were Ryan Timmons, 16th starter Nathan Schank, 19th starting Jon DeWees, 23rd starter Dominic Scelzi and Austin Wood. A total of 23 cars competed on opening night with the Ultimate Sprint Car Series. Carson Short began the night by setting a brand new Non-Winged track record at Placerville Speedway with a lap of 11.616. The Nor*Cal Posse presented by Berco Redwood finishes up tonight with an $8,000 to win finale for the Winged Sprint Cars, along with the Ultimate Sprint Car Series.

  Sexton Gatlin Racing Returns to Placerville Speedway This Weekend

  Lakeside, CA, May 1, 2025 — This Friday and Saturday, May 2nd and 3rd, Sexton Gatlin Racing (SGR) will make its highly anticipated return to Placerville Speedway as drivers Brent Sexton and his son Grant compete in the Ultimate Sprint Car Series (USCS) at the iconic Northern California venue. This marks the Lakeside, California-based team's first appearance at Placerville since a dominant showing in 2022. SGR's last outing at the red clay oval was as part of the show at the three-night Hangtown 100 in November 2022, which was co-sanctioned by the California Lightning Sprint Car Series and Bay Cities Racing Association. The team swept all three main events that weekend: San Diego's AJ Bender took victories on the first two nights, with Grant Sexton finishing second and sixth. On the final night, it was 17-year-old Grant's turn to shine, claiming the win with Bender right behind in second. Brent, a three-time lightning sprint car series champion, also made all three main events in 2022, finishing fifth, 12th, and 15th. His oldest son, Dalton, qualified for all three mains as well, earning finishes of 10th, 12th, and 15th. This Friday, Brent returns to the seat for one night only before heading off for his annual vacation in Cabo San Lucas. He enters the weekend ranked fourth in USCS points, just four digits out of third. In four starts this season, Brent's best finish was a fifth-place showing at Ocean Speedway on March 28. Grant, now 20, will be racing both nights. Thus far, he has made two USCS starts in 2025. He earned an eighth-place finish at Ventura Raceway on March 8 and was poised for a top-five finish at Bakersfield on April 12 before contact with another car knocked him out of contention, resulting in a 17th-place finish. He currently sits 20th in the championship standings.

  AFTER BRENT SEXTON'S CAREER BEST 410 SPRINT CAR FINISH, SEXTON GATLIN RACING HEADS TO ARIZONA

  (Lakeside, CA, April 7, 2025) Veteran driver Brent Sexton made the long trek to Ocean Speedway a memorable one when he recorded the best finish in his 410 sprint car career by placing fifth in the Ultimate Sprint Car Series 30-lap main event in Watsonville, California. Twenty-four hours later, he finished 12th when the second-year series made its first appearance at the Merced Speedway. This Friday and Saturday, April 11th and 12th, the veteran driver and his youngest son, Grant, are heading to the Central Arizona Raceway for two nights of racing with the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars. Sexton first raced a full-sized sprint car with the USAC/CRA Series two years ago. However, there was a huge difference between that car and the one he is driving today. For those initial races in 2023 and all of 2024, he was powered by a 360 engine. At times, that was like taking a gun to a knife fight as he was competing against full fields of 410 sprint cars. While he held his own, there was only so much he could do, and at times, that was frustrating. Sexton, who is a three-time lightning sprint car champion, decided to up his game for 2025. He purchased a 410 engine to run with both USAC/CRA and the USCS. "Somebody compared it to some of the motorcross stuff we used to do saying it was like comparing a two-stroke to a four stroke," the veteran driver said in mid-March. "It is definitely an eye opener and I give respect to the guys who have been driving those (410s) for so long. I love it. It takes more throttle control. Not that I had much throttle control before. It is definitely a discipline thing for sure." For Sexton to record his best 410 finish at Ocean Speedway was kind of surprising. It was his fourth start with the more powerful engine. What was unexpected was the fact that he did it at a track he had never been on during his long racing career. The likeable racer started the weekend by qualifying third fastest in his group at 13.375. That time was also good enough for 10th best in the 19-car field. He started fourth, and led much of his heat race before ending up second. So far, so good, but the main event on the famous Santa Cruz County oval would end up being the icing on an extremely sweet cake. Starting seventh, he was immediately in the thick of the battle. Using the top and the bottom of the track, he actually moved all the way up to fourth at one point. Likewise, he also drifted back to eighth or ninth. Sexton kept his focus straight and by the time the race ended, he was fifth at the checkers. "It was so much fun," he said about the race. "I loved the track, and I love my 410. I am having the time of my life. To finish fifth the first time ever at the track, that is cool. I am happy." After Watsonville, it was on to Merced, a track Sexton is more familiar with from his lightning sprint car days. However, things did not go quite as well, and he finished 12th in the A main event. This Friday and Saturday, the Central Arizona Speedway will be a new track for SGR drivers Brent and Grant. Recently renovated, the speedy oval is now a showpiece track that will be hosting the USAC/CRA Sprint Cars for the first time. Located in Casa Grande on the Pinal County Fairgrounds at 512 S 11 Mile Corner Road, the track is about halfway between Phoenix and Tucson. Adult tickets for the shows are $25.00 each night. Active military and seniors get in for $20.00. For young adults ages 12-17, it is $15.00. Kids 11 and under are free. Gates will open at 5:00 p.m. each night with racing at 7:00.

  SEXTON GATLIN RACING HEADS NORTH FOR TWO RACES THIS WEEKEND

  (Lakeside, CA, March 24, 2025) Lakeside, California's Sexton Gatlin Racing will wrap up a busy month of March with a trek to Ocean Speedway in Watsonville on the 28th and the Merced Speedway on the 29th for races in the Ultimate Sprint Car Series. The trek north will take SGR 454 miles from its San Diego County base for the Friday portion of the weekend doubleheader. On Saturday, the team will head 100 miles south from Watsonville to Merced for Saturday's race on the Doug Lockwood-promoted track. SGR had last weekend off after competing in the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Series during the California Mid-Winter Fair at the Imperial Valley Fairgrounds on the 14th and 15th of the month. The two nights of racing at the track located just north of the USA-Mexico border brought a mixed bag of results for the longtime Southern California team. The Friday portion of the show at the track, which old-time fans still refer to as El Centro, started off well for the team when 20-year-old Grant clicked off the seventh fastest time in the 28-car field. Even though he was less than a half second slower, Brent timed in 19th best. Brent's night ended on the first lap of the third heat race when he was battling for the lead. Starting on the outside of the front row, contact with the car on the inside sent him into a series of nasty flips as he came off turn two. He climbed out of the car unscathed, but the tumble ended up finishing his car for the night. "I am not sure after watching the replay," Sexton answered when asked what triggered the flip. " After I watched the replay, someone may have caught the inside berm and caught my left rear, but I do not know. It is hard to say, really. We could have been ready, but with just two classes there, time was short. I just figured why push it with a two-day show. Let's focus on getting it fixed right and be ready for the next night. It really was not damaged too badly for as hard as I flipped. Front axle, bent the torque tube, and rear bumper." Grant ended up sixth in the heat. That sent him to the B main, where he needed to finish sixth or better to continue to the A. He did so comfortably by finishing third. That put the young driver in the 30-lap finale. However, car issues plagued him, and he finished 19th. With the flip in his past, the Saturday portion of the show saw Brent turn in his best USAC qualifying effort to date. His 13.389 was the 11th fastest lap of the 26 cars on hand. He followed that by competing in the toughest heat race of the weekend. The veteran racer fought hard and managed to hold the final transfer spot until the last lap when he slipped back to sixth. That outcome placed him on the front row of the B main, and getting more used to the 410 each night, he brought it home third to earn a ticket to his first USAC/CRA main event of the year. In the main, the wily veteran started 11th. After some see-sawing forward and backward in the race, he ended up 14th. While he wanted more, he was happy with the night, and he loves life as a 410 sprint car driver. "It was my best qualifying to date with USAC." Sexton proudly stated. "I am kind of setting some goals for this year, like qualifying better with USAC, because that is everything. Finish a little better than last year. Last year, I was usually 18th to 24th. This year, I want to get near the top 10. I would like to have finished closer to the top 10 at Imperial, but I will take the 14th place." "I do actually," Sexton continued when asked if he felt this year is like a rejuvenation of his career. "I am having a lot of fun. Especially with this 410. It is all a learning curve, jumping up to a 410. I am enjoying it." San Diego's AJ Bender, who has driven SGR cars and won in the past in lightning competition, jumped into Grant's car on Saturday to see what it was like to wheel a Triple X. However, the driver who finished fourth in USAC/CRA points in 2024, was feeling the car out for the first time, and he exited the A main early. "I am looking forward to this weekend," Sexton offered about racing at Ocean and Merced. "We have run Merced with the lightning sprint, but I have never been to Ocean before. We will have to figure out gearing and all of that stuff. Hopefully, we will come out of the box strong." To see SGR in action this weekend, the Ocean Speedway is located at 2601 E. Lake in Watsonville, California. For times and ticket information, call the track office at 831-688-7223. On Saturday at the Merced Speedway, gates will open at 5:00 p.m., and racing will begin at 7:00 p.m. Tickets for those 17 and older are $25.00. Juniors, aged 11-16, get in for $10.00. Tickets for kids 6-10 are $5.00. Children 5 and under are free. The track is located at 900 Martin Luther King Jr. Way in Merced. The track website is http://www.mercedspeedway.net/ and the office phone number is 209-600-8382. The final SGR racer on the weekend at Imperial was eager teen Braydin Collie of El Cajon, California. Racing on a track where he recorded a second-place finish in 2024, things did not go quite as well on the weekend with the SoCal Lightning Sprint Cars. On Friday, he looked impressive in winning his heat race, but he flipped on the back stretch during lap three of the main event and finished 11th. Twenty-four hours later, the talented teen placed 11th again when the center splines on the right rear stripped out. Big news from Sexton Gatling Racing is the fact that they are going to be a CSI certified shock dealer for the West Coast. The team bought Mel Murphy's shock dyno and crew member David Bezio flew out to Indy on Monday to study with CSI in Indiana. "We will be open right away (when Bezio gets back)," Sexton commented. "I have the dyno and we have been doing our own shocks. David is there taking the course so we can be a certified dealer. We are excited about that." 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, and Troy Dirt.

  AFTER GOOD RUNS AT VENTURA, SEXTON GATLIN RACING HEADS TO IMPERIAL FOR FRIDAY/SATURDAY DOUBLEHEADER

  (Lakeside, CA, March 12, 2025) After a successful run in the Ultimate Sprint Car Series last Saturday night at the Ventura Raceway, Sexton Gatlin Team drivers Grant Sexton and his father Brent will head to the Imperial Valley Raceway for a pair of Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car races this Friday and Saturday. A total of 26 cars showed up for the USCS portion of the program at the track that is located adjacent to the breaking waves of the Pacific Ocean. Brent turned in a lap of 13.313 on his first night running a 410 engine. That was good enough for the fourth-best time in his group of eight drivers. It was the 16th fastest of the 26 cars on hand. Grant broke a steering arm in his hot lap session and did not get a qualifying time. He began at the back of his heat, and proceeded to slap the back straight wall, ripping the Jacob's ladder out. That dropped the whole rear end out of the car and left the torque tube standing up like a tee-ball tee in turn two. Needless to say, he did not complete the heat. The team thrashed to replace the drive train and the rear end in Grant's car. Despite their best efforts, they could not get the car ready to run before the B main. It looked like the 20-year-old driver's night was over at that point. However, attrition for others netted him an invitation to start at the back of the A main. From there, the 2023 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year put on a show. Starting shotgun on the 24-car field, Grant excited the crowd with a brave ride through the pack. He steered the beautiful #22 all the way up to fifth before a brush with another driver on the final restart pushed him back to eighth. That is where the talented third generation driver finished in the 30-lapper. For Brent, it was a big night. Having competed in lightning sprint cars for decades and a 360 against the 410s in the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series the past two years, Saturday was his debut in a 410 and he looked good. After the aforementioned qualifying effort, he started fourth in his heat race on the tight 1/5 mile track. He worked his way up to third, which earned him the 12th starting spot in the 24-car main event field. "I started 12th and I went back five or six positions just because of me being a throttle jockey," he joked about his first time racing a 410. "Through attrition, I finished 13th." "Somebody compared it to some of the motorcross stuff we used to do saying it was like comparing a two-stroke to a four stroke," the three time lightning sprint champion said. "It is definitely an eye opener and I give respect to the guys who have been driving those (410s) for so long. I love it. It takes more throttle control. Not that I had much throttle control before. It is definitely a discipline thing for sure." Dating back to 2022, the Imperial Valley Raceway has supplied Sexton Gatlin Racing with a lot of successes. Racing with the POWRi Southwest Lightning Series at the Midwinter Fair in 2022, Brent and his oldest son Dalton won the two main events. At another POWRi show that October, Brent again collected the winner's trophy. Five months later Brent kicked off the 2023 POWRi campaign with fourth and second place finishes before visiting victory circle and placing third in the final two POWRi lightning races at the track. Grant notched a fifth place finish in an open 360/410 race that October. In 2024, the Sexton's again launched their racing campaign at Imperial with Brent taking second and fourth in the lightning sprint mains. Grant ended up 5th and 9th in the open comp. 360/410 class over the two nights. Last October when USAC/CRA visited the track that is just north of the USA/Mexico border, Grant was 11th and 21st, while Brent made one of the mains and placed 13th. In addition to Grant and Brent racing their 410s this weekend at Imperial, second-year lightning sprint driver Braydin Collie will compete in the SoCal Lightning Sprint Car Series portion of the program. Last season, rookie Collie made seven lightning sprint starts. His best finish was a second at Imperial on October 19th. Racing will start at 6:00 p.m. each night at Imperial. Admission to the fair is $12.00 for adults and $10.00 for seniors and children. Parking at the fair is $10.00. Admission to the races is $10.00 for ages 18 and over and free for everyone 17 and under. The Imperial Valley Raceway is located on the Imperial Valley Fairgrounds at 200 E. 2nd Street in Imperial, California (92251). For those who cannot make it to Imperial, both nights will be streamed live online with a subscription to Flo Racing. The Lakeside, California team will wrap up a busy month of March with a trek to Ocean Speedway in Watsonville on the 28th and the Merced Speedway on the 29th. 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, and Troy Dirt.

  Empire Super Sprints Set Sights on 2025 Season

  By Curtis Berleue (Oswego, NY) | As the weather in upstate New York begins to trend warmer, the anticipation grows for the 2025 race season. Entering their 42nd year of competition, the Empire Super Sprints are set to first hit the track on April 12 at the Outlaw Speedway to kick off their campaign that includes 32 events from April to October. While many of the dates and venues on the schedule are familiar for tour regulars, a notable addition in 2025 is a return to the Ohsweken Speedway on Friday May 30, followed by a visit to the Brighton Speedway on Saturday May 31. The popular CNY Speedweek also returns from July 2-6, with stops at Can-Am, Utica-Rome, Brewerton, Fulton and Weedsport - all paying $2,500 to the winner. Eight races on the schedule are set to pay at least $3,000 to win, with five events paying $4,000 to win. Outlaw Speedway will host four of them (April 18, July 25, September 19 and October 17) and Freedom Motorsports Park on June 7 will be the fifth. The Annual Kevin Ward Jr. Memorial Asphalt Spectacular on June 14, along with the annual Quebec trip to Autodromes Granby and Drummond on August 22 and 23 will all pay $3,000 to win. Fresh off his third championship, Jordan Poirier looks to return to the tour in '25 with his eyes set on defending his title. The Quebec driver is hoping to maintain his consistency while utilizing a new GSR chassis - a switch he made at the end of 2024 in preparation for the upcoming season. Many of the top drivers in ESS competition have already made laps on track in 2025, with Billy VanInwegen, Joe Kata, Dan Bennett, Scott Kreutter and Glenn Styres competing in the Chili Bowl. Jordan Thomas, Davie Franek, Brett Wright, Chase Moran and Glenn Styres have also been on track, competing in various Florida Speedweeks events. Both Franek and Styres already have wins under their belt, with Franek picking up a USCS win at Southern raceway in Milton, FL and Styres picking up a win in a UMP Modified at Volusia Speedway. Much of the continued success of the Empire Super Sprints can be attributed to a great group of marketing partners. In 2025, the tour is excited to welcome back Rifenburg Contracting, Cobra Coaches, Lacaillade Masonry, Pinnacle Investments, A-Verdi Storage containers, Ashley Lynn Winery, Hoosier Tire Canada, and E&V Energy. New additions to the list of marketing partners include Elab Smokers Boutique, sponsoring each heat race in 2025; Wilwood Disc Brakes, sponsoring the 13th place finisher each night; Slade Precision Shocks, and Keizer Aluminum Wheels.

  SEXTON GATLIN RACING COMES IN FULL FORCE SATURDAY AT VENTURA

  (Lakeside, CA, March 5, 2025) For the first time in 2025, Sexton Gatlin Racing will have both of its team cars in competition this Saturday night in the Ultimate Sprint Car Series at the Ventura Raceway. It will be the second race of the season for 20-year-old Grant Sexton and the first for his father Brent. Spectator gates at the track located adjacent to the beach on the Ventura County Fairgrounds will open at 3:00 p.m. Kris Kornder's green flag will start the first race at 5:30. Grant, the 2023 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year and the 2021 POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Champion, kicked off his 2025 campaign when the USAC/CRA Series visited Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway on February 15th. The talkative driver turned in the 13th fastest time - 14.398 - in the 31 car field. Sexton's fastest lap on the banked 1/3 of a mile clay oval that is located minutes from the Colorado River, placed him third, inside row two, for his 10-lap heat. The race transferred the top four to the A main. The young driver ended up fifth and had to go to the 12-lap B main. Grant was met by 13 other combatants in the 12-lap B main. Six of the drivers would advance to the A main and the other eight would load their cars onto the trailer for the ride home. Grant ran strong, finished fourth and snatched one of the coveted transfer spots into the A where he started 13th. Early on, the veteran racer was going good in the 30-lapper. However, he clipped an infield tractor tire. He continued racing but at the first yellow flag, he anxiously pulled into the work area to see if he had bent the steering arm. When the crew cleared Grant to go, he rushed back onto the track for the restart. He was moving forward again. However, his evening came to an abrupt end when he was collected by a spinning car. Unfortunately, the right front wheel was ripped off his pretty #22 and he was done for the night with a 20th place finish. Grant has reason to be optimistic heading into this week's USCS race. In 2024, he raced with the first year group six times. Four times he placed in the top 10. One of those races, June 1st at Ventura, he had a season best third place finish. Grant's father Brent, a three-time Lightning Sprint Car champion, will be making his 2025 debut on Saturday. He missed the race at Mohave and last week's race at Perris (Grant missed the Perris race as well while out of town for work) waiting for his Kistler 410 engine to be ready. Last season, Brent finished third in the USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year chase. The elder Sexton competed at Ventura three times with the USCS in 2024. His best result was a 10th on June 1st. Adult tickets for Saturday's race at Ventura are $25.00. Seniors 60, military with ID, and students with id get in for $22.00. Kids 12 and under are admitted free when they are accompanied by an adult. The track is located on the Ventura County Fairgrounds at 10 W. Harbor Boulevard (93001). The website is http://venturaraceway.com/, and the office phone number is (805) 648-RACE. After Saturday, it will be a short week for the Sexton Gatlin Racing Team. Both of the Lakeside, California based racers will head to the Imperial Valley Raceway for rounds #3 and #4 in the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Series during the California Mid-Winter Fair. In addition, they will be taking the SGR lightning sprint car for sophomore driver Braydin Collie to drive in the opening two rounds of the SoCal Lightning Sprint Car Series. 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, and Troy Dirt.
