- Eddie Tafoya Jr. Hopes His First Start of 2026 Is as Hot as the Arizona Temperature
Chino Hills, CA — February 26, 2026 — Chino Hills, California, sprint car veteran Eddie Tafoya Jr. will open his 2026 racing season Saturday night, February 28, when the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars visit Arizona's racy 1/3-mile, banked Mohave Valley Raceway. Spectator gates at the desert oval—where temperatures are expected to soar to 94 degrees in the afternoon—will open at 4:00 p.m., with the first green flag dropping at 6:00. The 28-year-old returns to a track where he has enjoyed consistent success since sprint cars made their return to the facility in 2022. In seven USAC/CRA starts at the speedway—located just five minutes from the Colorado River and 25 miles from Laughlin, Nevada—Tafoya has recorded five top-10 finishes, including two top-five results and a best finish of third. Simply put, it is one of his favorite places to race. "We are usually a real good car out of the box when we get there," Tafoya said before a race in 2025. "I think the only times I have not run good there is when I have had motor issues." Last season, after opening his year with six USAC National Sprint Car Series races in Florida, Tafoya made his first USAC/CRA start of the year at Mohave Valley. He qualified 10th in a stout 31-car field, but trouble struck during qualifying when the torque ball backed off. The issue forced the team to replace the entire torque tube and bell housing, sidelining Tafoya for his heat race as the crew thrashed to make repairs. Once back on track, Tafoya started on the outside of the front row in the 12-lap B Main, needing a top-six finish to advance to the 30-lap feature. He left no doubt, racing to a third-place finish to earn his transfer spot. In the main event, the 2018 Perris Auto Speedway Young Guns Champion and 2019 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year, delivered one of the standout performances of the night. Rolling off from 10th on the outside of row five, Tafoya methodically carved his way through the field to finish fifth. Only two drivers passed more cars during the exciting feature. Fans wishing to see Tafoya in action this Saturday can purchase tickets at the gate, cash only, with pricing as follows: General Admission (including seniors): $25.00 Children ages 6-12: $15.00 Children 5 and under: FREE!!!! For those unable to make the trip to The Grand Canyon State, Saturday night's race will be streamed live on Flo Racing. Tafoya can be followed on Instagram at @eddietafoya51. Team Tafoya Racing 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. If you would like to join forces with the team for another fun and exciting year of racing in 2026, please contact Tafoya at Eddie Tafoya Jr. at (909) 393-3999 or mailto:teamtafoya@aol.com Eddie Tafoya's 2025 Results 2/10/25 Volusia Speedway Park USAC National Sprint Cars 5th B Main 2/11/25 Volusia Speedway Park USAC National Sprint Cars 7th B Main 2/12/25 Ocala Speedway USAC National Sprint Cars 5th B Main 2/13/25 Ocala Speedway USAC National Sprint Cars 19th A Main 2/14/25 Ocala Speedway USAC National Sprint Cars 18th A Main 2/15/25 Ocala Speedway USAC National Sprint Cars 20th A Main 2/22/25 Mohave Valley Raceway USAC/CRA Sprint Cars 5th A Main 3/1/25 Perris Auto Speedway USAC/CRA Sprint Cars 13th A Main 4/5/25 Perris Auto Speedway USAC/CRA Sprint Cars 8th A Main 4/11/25 Central Arizona Speedway USAC/CRA Sprint Cars 13th A Main 4/12/25 Central Arizona Speedway USAC/CRA Sprint Cars 19th A Main 5/24/25 Perris Auto Speedway USAC/CRA Sprint Cars 9th A Main 6/7/25 Bakersfield Speedway USCS Sprint Cars 9th A Main 6/21/25 Perris Auto Speedway USAC/CRA Sprint Cars 5th A Main 7/19/25 Perris Auto Speedway USAC/CRA Sprint Cars 10th A Main 8/16/25 Perris Auto Speedway USAC/CRA Sprint Cars 8th A Main 8/30/23 Calistoga Speedway USAC/CRA Sprint Cars 16th A Main 8/31/25 Calistoga Speedway USAC/CRA Sprint Cars 20th A Main 9/1/25 Petaluma Speedway USCS Sprint Car 4th A Main 9/13/25 Perris Auto Speedway USAC/CRA Sprint Cars 4th A Main 9/27/25 Perris Auto Speedway USAC/CRA Sprint Cars 8th A Main 10/24/25 Central Arizona Speedway USAC National Sprint Cars 23rd A Main 10/25/25 Central Arizona Speedway USAC National Sprint Cars 13th A Main 11/1//25 Perris Auto Speedway USAC/CRA Sprint Cars 10th A Main 11/8/25 Perris Auto Speedway USAC/CRA Sprint Cars 19th A Main This release was produced by Scott Daloisio.

- Sexton Gatlin Racing Opens Busy 2026 Season Saturday at Mohave Valley
Lakeside, CA — February 26, 2026 — Lakeside, California's Sexton Gatlin Racing (SGR) will launch an extremely ambitious 2026 campaign this Saturday when Brent Sexton heads to Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway to compete in the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car race. One week later, the team will roll three cars into Imperial Valley Raceway for the co-sanctioned California Lightning Sprints/SoCal Lightning Sprints season opener. At age 53, Sexton will kick off the busiest season in the history of SGR. In addition to competition with USAC/CRA and the two lightning sprint car series, the team will also field entries in the Ultimate Sprint Car Series and Northern California's winged Sprint Car Challenge Tour. Saturday's Arizona opener will take place on the racy 1/3-mile, banked oval located just five minutes from the Colorado River and only 25 minutes away from Laughlin, Nevada. It is a track that holds special meaning for Sexton, as it was the site of one of the most exciting victories of his career. In late 2022, the veteran charged to the lead on the final lap of a 20-lap main event to score a thrilling one-car-length win over San Diego's AJ Bender, who was driving another SGR entry. Third place went to Sexton's oldest son, Dalton, giving the San Diego County-based team a clean sweep of the podium. "Mohave Valley is one of our favorite tracks," the native of Tennessee said. "Lightning sprint cars, 410 sprint cars, everything. I think they have done a phenomenal job since they bought the track in 2021. It fits our driving style. I qualify better there than I do anywhere else." "I will be in a 410 this week in a new DRC we got from Braden Chiaramonte. We destroyed the Triple X at Turkey Night (Turkey Night Grand Prix at the Ventura Raceway in November). So, everything is fresh." "From this week at Mohave, we go onto the lightning sprints at the Imperial Valley Raceway next week and then Las Vegas for the USCS race on March 13th and 14th." At Imperial Valley Raceway, SGR will enter three cars for four drivers. Brent, a three-time lightning sprint car champion, will lead the effort. El Cajon's Brayden Collie, who finished second in the 2025 California Lightning Sprint Car Rookie of the Year standings and fifth in the overall season points, will pilot another entry. Brent's two sons, Dalton, who is coming out of retirement, and Grant, will split driving duties in the team's third car, with Dalton racing on Friday and Grant taking over on Saturday. With a jam-packed schedule ahead, fans can expect to see Brent competing extensively in both 410 sprint cars and lightning sprints. Grant is also slated to race in both divisions, while additionally planning winged sprint car appearances with Northern California's Sprint Car Challenge Tour. Collie will once again represent Sexton Gatlin Racing in lightning events throughout the state. For more updates, follow Sexton Gatlin Racing on social media and stay tuned for results throughout the 2026 season. Sexton Gatlin Racing would like to thank the following companies for making the 2025 season possible. East County Electric Works, Antonelli's Deli, Keys Brothers, Geoff Dale, BR Motorsports, Maxima Oil, Automated Interiors, Valley Lubricant Services, Sexton Fire Protection, BK Wings, and Troy Dirt.
