  Braden Chiaramonte and Max Mittry finish off Nor*Cal Posse Shootout in victory lane

  Placerville, CA…El Cajon's Braden Chiaramonte started on the front row and dominated the Winged 360 Sprint Car portion of the Nor*Cal Posse Shootout/ Legends Weekend on Saturday, claiming the $8,000 top prize at Placerville Speedway. On the Ultimate Sprint Car Series side of things, it was Max Mittry going back-to-back for Chase Johnson Racing. In doing so, he brought home the $1,000 double duty bonus courtesy of Quick Change Liquid Energy Drink and Vertullo Racing 83V. The 30-lap Winged 360 Sprint Car finale at the Nor*Cal Posse Shootout presented by Berco Building Materials saw Braden Chiaramonte outduel pole sitter Justyn Cox on the start to grab the lead. The top side was certainly the place to be and Chiaramonte ran it to perfection each lap. Not even a late restart could stop the past SCCT Rookie of the Year, as he drove away to claim his first career Placerville Speedway Sprint Car triumph. The 19-year-old also set a new Non-Winged Sprint Car track record earlier in the program. That late restart did see Fremont's Shane Golobic sneak by Cox to grab the runner up spot. The three-time Trophy Cup champion had set the ADCO Driveline Fast Time earlier in the evening and then capped it with a solid second place effort in the feature. After finishing runner up on opening night Cox returned on Saturday and put together another strong night of competition while rounding out the podium. The 2023 SCCT titlist won his heat race, the dash and ran second for a majority of the main event. Friday winner Dylan Bloomfield came home fourth, followed by current Placerville Speedway point leader Andy Forsberg in fifth. The remainder of the top 10 was filled out by Tanner Carrick, 17th starting Tony Gomes, Nick Parker, Shane Hopkins and Max Mittry. The Ultimate Sprint Car Series main event showcased a thrilling first 12 laps, with multiple drivers battling it out at the front of the field. Things came to a halt though when contact between second running David Gasper and third place Cole Wakim caused a pileup in turns one and two. Max Mittry had started on the pole and led those initial 12 circuits. When going back green he had his way with things for much of the remaining distance. Lincoln's Tanner Carrick stayed close on one late restart, but there was nothing to stop the fast-moving Mittry. The SCCT Speedweek champion from last year pulled away and crossed under the Ed Entz checkered flag to sweep the weekend with USCS aboard the CJR No. 24 mount. Carrick crossed the stripe in second, followed by 17th starter Nate Schank, who had an exciting run through the field after winning the B-main. Reigning USCS champ Jacob Tuttle and Josh Young completed the top five. Filling out the top 10 were Bradley Terrell, Ryan Timmons, 18th starting Brent Steck, Jake Morgan and Bob Newberry. Another solid field of 28 cars was on hand with the USCS Non-Wingers. Braden Chiaramonte began the night by setting a new track record, clocking an 11.325 around the quarter mile. Placerville Speedway returns to action this coming Saturday May 9th during Mother's Day Madness presented by RJM Builders. All four of the track regulars will be in competition including the Thompson's Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Cars, Kings Meats Ltd. Late Models, Red Hawk Resort + Casino Pure Stocks and the Mountain Democrat Mini Trucks.

  Brent Sexton Gaining Steam, Set for Placerville Sprint Car Battle

  Lakeside, CA — April 29, 2026 — After turning in a strong performance last Friday night at Watsonville Speedway, veteran sprint car driver Brent Sexton is heading back north this weekend for the 8th Annual Nor Cal Posse Shootout with the Ultimate Sprint Car Series at Placerville Speedway. Watsonville is quickly becoming one of Sexton's favorite stops, and he added another solid run to his résumé there last weekend. Returning to the track where he scored a fifth-place finish in 2025, the night did not start the way he had hoped. In his first-ever race in a winged 360 sprint car, Sexton qualified 15th out of 18 cars with a time of 12.304. He then started and finished fifth in his preliminary heat race. When the green flag dropped for the main event, however, he showed his trademark determination. Starting on the inside of the eighth row, the three-time lightning sprint car champion charged forward in the #3G, advancing five positions to finish 10th. The result marked his seventh top-10 finish in nine main event starts in 2026. Twenty-four hours later, Sexton made the trip to Merced Speedway for his debut with the Sprint Car Challenge Tour. Unfortunately, rain arrived after qualifying, forcing the cancellation of the remainder of the program. Now, with a 540-mile journey from his Lakeside, California home, Sexton sets his sights on Placerville Speedway for his fourth Ultimate Sprint Car Series appearance of the season. His most impressive outing to date came at Thunderbowl Raceway on March 28th, when he charged from 14th to seventh in the main event. Three weeks later at the same track, a sticking throttle ended his night early, resulting in an 18th-place finish. Racing at Placerville this weekend is expected to draw a strong USCS field at one of Northern California's premier sprint car tracks. It will give Sexton another opportunity to build momentum as the season rolls on. Adult tickets at Placerville are $25 each night. Seniors (62+), military personnel, and juniors (ages 12-17) are $22. Kids ages 6-11 are $10, and children five and under are admitted free.

  Brent Sexton Set To Make 360 Wing Debut At Watsonville And Merced This Weekend

  Lakeside, CA — April 23, 2026 — Sexton Gatlin Racing will cap off a busy April when Brent Sexton heads north this Friday and Saturday for a pair of winged 360 sprint car races. The first stop is Friday night at Watsonville Speedway, followed by a Saturday showdown in the highly competitive Sprint Car Challenge Tour event at Merced Speedway. The two nights of racing will mark Brent's first appearance in a winged 360 car. Last Saturday, Brent and his youngest son, 21-year-old Grant, made the trek to the Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare for a date with the third-year Ultimate Sprint Car Series. It was Brent's fourth race with the series in 2026 and his second at the Thunderbowl this year. In his previous appearance at the popular Central Valley oval, he turned in an impressive performance. After finishing fifth in his heat race, he started 14th in the A Main and charged forward to a strong seventh-place finish. That effort was even more notable considering officials red-flagged the race early due to time constraints, while both the driver and car had more to give. Unfortunately, things did not go as well for the three-time lightning sprint car champion this time around. A broken shifter cable in qualifying immediately put him behind the eight-ball for the remainder of the night. Unable to start his heat race, he was forced to line up near the back of the field for the main event. Starting 17th, Sexton advanced one position before his night came to an early end. A sticking throttle created a dangerous situation, prompting him to pull into the infield rather than risk taking a chunk out of the crash wall. "The throttle was sticking and I was standing on the brakes trying to keep it under control," he said. "It didn't end well." Grant's night showed early promise. He qualified fourth fastest in Group #1 with a lap of 16.007, which ranked eighth overall among the 19 cars on hand. He then started fourth and finished second in his heat race. In the main event, he rolled off from seventh and battled inside the top 10 for much of the race until contact from another car on lap 17 forced him to retire early. He was credited with a 15th-place finish. This weekend's races will mark the 11th start in April for a Sexton Gatlin Racing driver and car combination. Earlier this month, Sexton Gatlin Racing was scheduled to compete at both Watsonville and Merced with the non-wing USCS. However, both events were canceled due to rain. One year ago, Brent made his Watsonville Speedway debut and immediately turned heads. He opened the weekend by qualifying third fastest in his USCS group with a lap of 13.375, which placed him 10th overall in the 19-car field. He then started fourth in his heat race, led much of the distance, and finished second. Starting seventh in the main event on the Santa Cruz County oval, Sexton quickly found himself in the thick of the action. Working both the high and low lines, he advanced as high as fourth before slipping back to eighth or ninth during the intense battle. Staying composed, he rallied to finish fifth at the checkered flag. "It was so much fun," he said at the time. "I loved the track. I am having the time of my life. To finish fifth the first time ever at the track, that is cool. I am happy." Spectator gates at Watsonville Speedway will open at 4:30 p.m. for Friday's race. The track is located at 2601 East Lake Avenue in Watsonville, California (95076). For more information, visit watsonvillespeedway.com. For Saturday's event, Merced Speedway is located at 900 Martin Luther King Jr. Way in Merced, California (95341). Additional information can be found at mercedspeedway.net.

  Empire Super Sprints Kick Off 2026 Friday at Outlaw

  By Curtis Berleue (Dundee, NY) | This Friday, the Empire Super Sprints are set to roar to life for the first time in 2026 at Outlaw Speedway in Dundee, NY. Each season the Cal Lane Memorial is scheduled as the season kick-off for the tour, although the last several years have fallen victim to mother nature who has a near-perfect record in the event for its originally scheduled date. The $4,220 to-win main event Friday will honor the late Cal Lane. Brother to six-time ESS Champion Mal Lane, Cal had his own successful career at the Outlaw Speedway dating back to the 1960's. Mal will be in attendance on Friday as well, serving as the Grand Marshall for the event. It is only fitting that the night paying tribute to Cal features both the track and organization that his family have such strong ties to. With a promising forecast thus far for this Friday, all eyes are focused on defending champion Jordan Poirier as he leads the charge. The now five-time champion has yet to score a win at Outlaw, but he looks to change that on Friday as it is the first step towards a sixth series triumph. The last time the Empire Super Sprints visited Outlaw was in the fall of last season, when Davie Franek visited victory lane. Franek's win in the Hoag Memorial was his third in his last five attempts at Outlaw, a track he has had much success at in the past. Franek is off to a hot start already in 2026, having won six of nine races and a championship during the USCS Winter Heat series that took place in Florida, Mississippi and Alabama through February and early March. Racing gets underway in Dundee at 7pm on Friday, with pit gates opening at 5pm and grandstands opening at 5:30pm. A pit pass for the night will be $48, while general grandstand admission is set at $25. For a complete schedule of events for the night, please visit both the Empire Super Sprints and Outlaw Speedway social media pages. For the latest news, information, and schedule updates regarding the Empire Super Sprints be sure to check the series website (www.EmpireSuperSprints.com) and follow along on Facebook (Empire Super Sprints), X (@ESSprints) and Instagram (@empiresupersprints). The Empire Super Sprints would like to thank the following series sponsors for their continued support: Rifenburg Contracting Corp, Hoosier Racing Tire, E&V Energy, A-Verdi Storage Containers, Elab Smokers Boutique, Pinnacle Investments, LLC, Wilwood Disc Brakes, FX Caprara, Ashley Lynn Winery, Slade Shock Technology, Keizer Aluminum Wheels, Bicknell Racing Products, Swagger Factory, PJC Sprayfoam, Donath Motor Worx, Transport Benoit Lafleur, All Star Performance, Stirling Lubricants, Trenca & Co. Realty, Speedway Press, Primal Tee, and Glenn Styres Racing. The ESS Road Ahead: Friday, April 24 - Outlaw Speedway - Dundee, NY ($4,220 to Win) Saturday, May 16 - Port Royal Speedway - Port Royal, PA ($4,000 to Win) Friday, May 22 - Brewerton Speedway - Brewerton, NY ($2,000 to Win Don Gillette Memorial)

  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.
