- EDDIE TAFOYA JR. SCORES ANOTHER TOP-10 FINISH AT BAKERSFIELD
Chino, CA - June 12, 2025 — Eddie Tafoya Jr. turned in another solid performance last Saturday night, recording a top-10 finish in his first Ultimate Sprint Car Series start of 2025 in the Salute to Bob Vermeer and Narcie Ferriera on the Bakersfield Speedway at Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway. The Chino Hills, California driver, who placed third in the USCS championship standings in 2024, steered his eye-catching #51T sprint car to a hard-earned ninth-place finish in the talent-packed 30-lap main event. It was the second straight ninth-place finish dating back to the Salute to Indy at Perris Auto Speedway on Memorial Day weekend. A strong field of 33 competitors signed in for the event on the recently revamped clay oval. In qualifying, Tafoya stopped the clock at 16.888 seconds, placing him third in his group and 12th overall on the night. Lining up on the inside of row two for his eight-lap heat race, the 27-year-old racer quickly moved into second place on lap one and held the position to the checkered flag, securing a direct transfer to the A-Main. Starting ninth in the 24-car feature, Tafoya charged as high as sixth during a chaotic early stretch as drivers fiercely battled for position. Throughout the race—interrupted by four caution periods—he stayed inside the top 10 and ultimately finished ninth. The performance marked his fourth top-10 result in the past seven races. Tafoya will take this weekend off but is set to return to action on Saturday, June 21st, when the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series visits his home track, Perris Auto Speedway 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.

- EDDIE TAFOYA JR. SET FOR FIRST START AT THE NEW BAKERSFIELD SPEEDWAY THIS SATURDAY
Chino, CA - June 3, 2025 — Eddie Tafoya Jr. will make his first appearance of the 2025 season at the newly relocated Bakersfield Speedway at Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway this Saturday night. The event, a marquee stop on the Ultimate Sprint Car Series calendar, will honor Bob Vermeer and Narcie Ferriera. While Saturday marks his debut at Bakersfield this season, it will also be his first race of 2025 with the USCS. The Chino Hills, California, racer is no stranger to the old Bakersfield Speedway location, but only began competing at the newer Kern facility last year. After a May rainout, he made three starts at the venue in 2024, including a pair of USAC/CRA events where he posted solid fourth and ninth-place finishes. In his only 2024 USCS start there, Tafoya came home eighth. In 2024, Tafoya turned in a strong showing with the USCS, finishing third in the final point standings with three top-10 results in eight starts. His highlight came on June 15th at Santa Maria Speedway, where he finished second in the main event. Big changes have greeted racers and fans in 2025 at the reimagined Bakersfield Speedway. The track surface has been reconfigured from turn two through turn three, while upgraded infrastructure includes a brand-new press box, expanded grandstands, modern restrooms, and state-of-the-art lighting. The track, located just off Interstate 5, offers an improved experience for both competitors and fans. Though this weekend is his first USCS outing of the year, Tafoya has already logged a dozen starts in 2025 across Florida, Arizona, and California with the USAC National and USAC/CRA series. His best finish so far was a fifth-place run at Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway on February 22 in a 30-lap USAC/CRA feature.

- Brody Roa Finishes Eighth in Salute to Indy at Perris
Cypress, CA - May 30, 2025 - Veteran sprint car driver Brody Roa piloted his bright green #91R to an eighth place finish last Saturday night in the USAC/CRA Salute to Indy at Perris Auto Speedway. The result marked his fourth top 10 finish in five starts this season, reinforcing a consistent and competitive start to his 2025 campaign. Roa was one of 22 USAC/CRA drivers who converged on the famed Southern California half-mile clay oval for one of the most prestigious and longest running sprint car races in the country. He qualified 12th quickest on a mild West Coast evening, setting the stage for a solid night of racing. Starting inside row two in the third heat race, the Garden Grove, CA native powered to a convincing win in the 10-lapper, drawing cheers from the fans. It was a strong early showing from Roa, who ranks fourth on the all-time USAC/CRA win list with 21 career victories. In a special nod to the following day's Indianapolis 500, the traditional four-wide salute was replaced by a unique three-wide parade lap before the 30-lap feature event. Roa rolled off from the outside of the sixth row and, in typical fashion, executed a smooth and calculated drive, steadily working his way forward to finish eighth. It was his third Perris start of the year, and notably, he has advanced in position during each main event appearance at the track in 2025. Roa, the 2023 USAC/CRA Series Champion and 2021 Salute to Indy winner, will now take a short break before returning to action when the USAC/CRA Series heads back to Perris Auto Speedway on June 21.

- EDDIE TAFOYA JR. FINISHES NINTH IN SALUTE TO INDY AT PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY
May 27, 2025 - Chino, CA — Eddie Tafoya Jr. secured a ninth-place finish in the 30-lap Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Salute to Indy on Saturday night at Perris Auto Speedway. The result marked Tafoya's second consecutive ninth-place showing in the historic race, first contested in 1948. The 27-year-old driver from Chino Hills, California, turned in a qualifying lap of 16.679, placing him 11th out of a 22-car field at the West Coast's premier half-mile clay oval. Lining up on the inside of row two in the Silberman Solar/Factory Wraps second heat race, Tafoya navigated one of the evening's wildest preliminaries to claim a decisive victory in the 10-lap event—his first USAC/CRA heat race win of the 2025 season. Starting 11th in the main event, Tafoya advanced a couple of positions forward to finish ninth. The result marks his third top-10 finish in six USAC/CRA appearances so far this year. It also nearly matched his career-best Salute to Indy finish of eighth. That result came in the 2022 Salute to Indy. Up next, Tafoya is scheduled to compete in the Ultimate Sprint Car Series at Bakersfield Speedway at Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway on June 7. Last season, the 2019 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year and 2018 Perris Auto Speedway Young Guns Champion was set to race at Kern four times, though the May 11 event was rained out. In the three remaining appearances, he recorded finishes of fourth, eighth, and ninth. Perhaps most impressively, nearly a year to the day of next week's race, he raced in Bloomington, Indiana, on a Friday, then flew back to Southern California to place fourth in the USAC/CRA main at Kern the very next night. Following Kern, Tafoya will return to Perris Auto Speedway—his home track—on June 21. 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.

- EDDIE TAFOYA JR. TAKES ON SALUTE TO INDY SATURDAY AT PERRIS
May 23, 2025, CHINO, CA — Second-generation sprint car driver Eddie Tafoya Jr. is set to return to action this Saturday night, May 24, as the Avanti Windows & Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series headlines the Annual Salute to Indy at Perris Auto Speedway. This prestigious race, one of the nation's longest-running sprint car events, will be celebrating its 77th anniversary, having first been contested in 1948. After rain forced the cancellation of the April 26th event at Perris, this weekend marks Tafoya's first competitive outing in six weeks. The Chino Hills, California native last raced in Arizona at the Central Arizona Speedway on April 10th and 11th. Despite a promising fifth-place run on the second night, fuel issues forced him out of contention late in the race. Saturday will be Tafoya's sixth start of the 2025 season in USAC/CRA. His strongest performance came on February 22nd with a fifth-place finish at Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway. In two starts at Perris this season, he finished eighth and 13th. Since the 2020 Perris season was canceled due to COVID-19, this will be the fourth running of the Salute to Indy. Driving the striking #51T sprint car, Tafoya has been a consistent contender in the event. In 2021, he was on pace for a career-best finish when he ran out of fuel while running second with just five laps remaining. He secured his best Salute to Indy finish in 2022 with an eighth-place result. Tafoya missed the 2023 edition while competing in the USAC National Sprint Car Series in the Midwest. Last year, he crossed the line in ninth. Fans will have the chance to watch Tafoya and the other top non-wing sprint car drivers west of the Mississippi this Saturday night at Perris. Spectator gates open at 5:00 p.m., with racing set to begin at 7:00 p.m. Ticket Information: Adults (13+): $35 Seniors (65+): $30 Children (6-12): $10 Kids 5 & under: Free Parking: $20 (charged by the fairgrounds) Advance tickets are available at tix.com.

- BRODY ROA SEEKS SECOND WIN IN SALUTE TO INDY THIS SATURDAY AT PERRIS
Cypress, CA - May 22, 2025 - Two years after capturing one of the biggest wins of his career in the prestigious Salute to Indy at Southern California's Perris Auto Speedway, Brody Roa returns this Saturday night, May 24, aiming to etch his name into the event's storied history once again. Roa's victory in the 2023 Salute to Indy came during a dominant season that saw the Garden Grove, California driver earn the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series championship. That year, Roa racked up nine feature wins on six different tracks — eight of those in USAC/CRA competition — including a blistering midseason run where he won six of eight races between April 22 and July 15. While the Salute to Indy win was a defining moment, Roa's career highlight at The PAS remains his 2017 triumph in the Friday night portion of the Oval Nationals, where he bested a star-studded field featuring both USAC National and USAC/CRA talent. In 2025, Roa has competed in four USAC/CRA events, finishing in the top six each time. In his two starts at Perris this season, he showcased his trademark resilience by charging forward from deep in the field to finish fifth and sixth. In early April, piloting Chris Bonneau's No. 15 car, Roa notched fourth-place, and sixth-place finishes at the Central Arizona Speedway. With 21 career USAC/CRA wins, Roa is the winningest active driver and sits fourth all-time in the series' history, which dates back to 2004. At Perris Auto Speedway specifically, Roa has seven career USAC/CRA victories, ranking ninth overall and second among active drivers. This Saturday's race marks Roa's return to competition following a well-earned break. Earlier this month, he enjoyed a quick getaway to Florida, followed by a relaxing family trip to the river with his wife, Tailor, and their two young daughters. Fans eager to watch Roa in action at the Salute to Indy can catch the excitement this Saturday night at Perris Auto Speedway. Spectator gates open at 5:00 p.m., with racing beginning at 7:00 p.m. Early arrivals can take advantage of half-off Budweiser beer and two-for-one Pepsis from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. Ticket Prices: · General Admission (ages 13+): $35.00 · Seniors (65+): $30.00 · Children (ages 6-10): $10.00 · Kids 5 and under: Free · Parking (Fairgrounds): $20.00 Advance tickets are available online at www.tix.com. Perris Auto Speedway is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds at 18700 Lake Perris Drive, Perris, CA. For more information, visit www.perrisautospeedway.com or call (951) 940-0134.

- EDDIE TAFOYA JR. TACKLES PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY ON SATURDAY
(Chino, CA, April 24, 2025) Southern California sprint car standout Eddie Tafoya Jr. is set to return to action this Saturday night, April 26th, when the Avanti Windows & Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series rolls into Perris Auto Speedway for the third time in 2025. The iconic clay oval, widely regarded as the premier sprint car venue on the West Coast, will welcome fans through its gates at 5:00 PM, with racing action set to begin at 7:00. The 27-year-old Chino Hills, California native, who captured the Perris Auto Speedway Young Guns Championship in 2018, has already made two appearances at the famed Riverside County half mile this year. His strongest performance at the track came on April 5, when he piloted the immaculate #51T to a solid eighth-place finish. Tafoya's best run of the 2025 campaign so far came on February 22 at Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway, where he battled to an impressive fifth. That was his best result to date in 2025. The 2019 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year has shown strong form through the early stages of the season, especially in qualifying. In all five of his 2025 USAC/CRA appearances, Tafoya has qualified inside the top 10, including three top five time trial performances. Most recently, during a two-night stint at the newly revamped Central Arizona Speedway, he clocked in second fastest on April 11th and fourth quickest on April 12th. At Perris Auto Speedway, Tafoya has also demonstrated his one-lap speed, turning in the sixth and seventh fastest qualifying times in his two starts there this season. He kicked off the year by qualifying 10th at the season opener at Mohave Valley Raceway, where he went on to score the fifth-place finish. Despite only contesting five of the first seven races of the year, Tafoya currently sits 15th in series points. A strong run this Saturday could see him climb even higher in the standings as he looks to build momentum through the heart of the season. To see Tafoya battle with the best traditional sprint car drivers west of the Mississippi at Perris on Saturday, spectator gates will open at 5:00 p.m. and racing will begin at 7:00. Tickets for those 13 and over are $35.00. Seniors 65 and over get in for $30.00. For kids 6-12, it is $10.00, and children 5 and under are free. The fairgrounds charge $20.00 for parking.

- EDDIE TAFOYA JR. FAST ON HIS RETURN TO CENTRAL ARIZONA SPEEDWAY
(Chino, CA, April 16, 2025) Even though it had been six years since his last and only appearance at the Central Arizona Speedway, Eddie Tafoya Jr. looked like a track regular when he competed on the clay oval with the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars last Friday and Saturday. Two top-four qualifying efforts highlighted the 27-year-old driver's weekend at the newly revamped 3/8 mile oval. Tafoya, who lives in Chino Hills, California, kicked off his two days of racing in the "Copper State" on Friday with the eighth fastest time of the 30 cars on hand in hot laps with a best lap of 16.956. When it came time to qualify, he turned it up a couple of notches and guided the gorgeous Specialty Fasteners #51T to its best qualifying effort of the year. His lap of 15.816 was the second-fastest time of the night. Tafoya started sixth in the 10-lap second heat and steered his way all the way up to second at the finish. That guaranteed him a starting spot in the A main event. Like he did in qualifying, he turned in the second fastest lap of the race. For the main, the veteran racer lined up on the inside of the third row for the 30-lapper. However, the setup on the car was too tight, and Tafoya slipped backwards and finished 13th. Twenty-four hours later, Tafoya started off well again. He recorded the third fastest time in hot laps in the 26-car field. He took to the track in qualifying and raced around the oval in 15.966 seconds. That was good enough for the fourth-best time in time trials. For the second straight night, Tafoya moved forward in his heat. After starting fifth, he passed one car and to place fourth in the 10-lapper. That move forward was important as it guaranteed Tafoya would start the main in third place. Saturday's main event saw Tafoya turn in what may have been his best performance of 2025. Through the early laps of the race, he ran fifth. On lap nine, he moved up one spot to fourth and he was locked into a fierce battle that was delivering a tremendously exciting race for his fans. A red flag flew on lap 23, bringing a temporary halt to the action. When the cars bumped back off for the restart, Tafoya was running in fifth and had his sights set on more. The car and the driver were both capable. However, when the green lights came back on, the #51T stumbled and slowed at the hit of the throttle. Tafoya steered the car to the bottom, and he pulled into the infield. He was out of fuel. What could have been a top five ended up instead being a 19th. However, it was a very impressive race for Tafoya, who was at the top of his game and battling very hard. The 2019 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year can take solace in the fact that only three drivers in the field turned a better lap than the 16.456 he recorded on the fourth circuit. Two of the three who turned in quicker laps finished first and second in the race. Despite the frustrating finishes, things were not all bad for Tafoya at Central Arizona. He was fast, and his car was, too. He can take that knowledge to his home track, Perris Auto Speedway, for another sprint car war on April 26th. 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 its 2025 racing endeavors.

- BRODY ROA BACK ON ONE OF HIS BEST TRACKS, CENTRAL ARIZONA SPEEDWAY, FRIDAY, AND SATURDAY
(Cypress, CA, April 10, 2025) When the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars visit the Central Arizona Speedway this Friday and Saturday, April 11th and 12th, Brody Roa, the 2023 series champion, will be one of the favorites to visit victory circle. Dating back to 2019, the Garden Grove, California-based racing star has started seven races on the Pinal County oval and has recorded one win, three runner-up results, a third, one fourth, and one fifth-place finish. Roa initially had no plans of racing this weekend. That is, he had no plans until Arizona-based car owner Chris Bonneau sent him a text offering to drive his car. Thinking back on the only time the two had teamed up in the past, it took Roa about half a second to say, "yes," to the offer. In March of last year, Bonneau and Roa teamed up for a race at Perris Auto Speedway. Roa started the 30-lap A main in 10th and by the end of the 24th lap, he had commandeered the lead and was pulling away from the pack. However, less than two laps later, he dramatically slowed and stopped with a flat tire. The car was rushed back to the work area for a tire change, and when the crew pulled the wheel disk off, a freak deal was discovered. The two plastic bleeder valve fittings in the right rear had snapped off. The crew changed the wheel and sent Roa back to the battlefield. Astonishingly, he quickly started passing cars and drove all the way back to fourth in just four laps. "That was probably one of the best cars on the night I have ever had," Roa enthusiastically remembered. "We qualified halfway decent and worked on the setup through the heat race. We changed the shock package on it for the feature, and it lit off. We started pretty deep. That thing was so comfortable, I was sliding two cars at a time. It was so good off the corner, down the straight, and getting in. I am so excited getting back into it this week." In 2019, Roa not only competed in USAC/CRA, but he also raced full-time in the USAC Southwest series. In fact, he won the Southwest title. In four trips to the Central Arizona Speedway that year, he recorded two second-place finishes, a third, and a fourth. In September of 2020, just prior to the birth of daughter Addison, Roa made his debut in the Jason May #8M and won the CAS main at Central Arizona. Since then, he has only raced at the track two times. Those appearances came at the ASCS/CAS shows to kick off the season on back-to-back nights in February of 2022. He notched a second and a fifth in that trip across the desert. Last week, Roa drove his own #91R at Perris. He qualified 10th in the 24-car field with a lap of 16.861. After a third-place finish in his 10-lap heat, "The Pride of Garden Grove" started 10th in the 30-lap main. Just like his first race of the year five weeks earlier at Perris, he moved forward. This time he ended up sixth. This Friday and Saturday at the Central Arizona Speedway, gates will open at 5:00 with racing at 7:00 each night. The track is located on the Pinal County Fairgrounds at 512 S 11 Mile Corner Road. 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. For more information visit the track website at https://www.centralazraceway.com/ or call the track office at 602-292-7607. For those who cannot make it to the track, both nights of action will be shown live on Flo Racing. 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.

- AFTER AN EIGHTH AT PERRIS, TAFOYA RETURNS TO CENTRAL ARIZONA SPEEDWAY FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2019
(Chino, CA, April 10, 2025) This Friday and Saturday, April 11th and 12th, Eddie Tafoya Jr. will compete with the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars on a track he has not raced on since 2019. The track is the Central Arizona Speedway, and the last time he was there, he was competing for Rookie of the Year with the now-defunct USAC Southwest Sprint Car Series. This week's races come hot on the heels of Tafoya's eighth-place finish last week in the USAC/CRA main event at Perris Auto Speedway. A lot has changed since Tafoya was last at the track, which is located about halfway between Phoenix and Tucson. Not only the racing surface, but the entire facility has had a major makeover since then. As was previously stated, he was running for the USAC Southwest Series Rookie of the Year award in 2019. He not only won that, but he also captured the USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year award the same season. Thus, he has good memories of the facility. "I ran there one time with the Southwest Series when I was trying to get the Rookie of the Year in 2019," Tafoya remembered. "I had to go to one of the races over there to stay in points. I won a heat race by about half a track. I am not sure exactly where I finished in the main, but I think I was close to the top five." Tafoya recently viewed some of the High Limit Sprint Car Series race at the track located on the Pinal County Fairgrounds. He planned on watching some more before heading to the "Copper State." "From what I remember it was big and fast," Tafoya enthused. "So, that sounds good to me. I am on a different chassis now. I should have a decent base. We just have to make decent calls throughout the night." Last Saturday night, Tafoya raced close to his Chino Hills, California, home at Perris Auto Speedway. It was with the same USAC/CRA Series that he is competing with this weekend. Twenty-four cars showed up for the night of racing and 27-year-old Tafoya qualified sixth fastest at 16.755. Being the sixth fastest qualifier and with the way the first two heats finished, meant that Tafoya was a lock to start on the pole for the main if he placed in the top five of his heat. Starting fifth in the 10-lapper, Tafoya quickly advanced to second, and it looked like he was going to secure the pole for the main. However, that was not to be. "I knew I had to get fifth or better to start pole (in the main)," Tafoya offered. "I got to second quickly, like within two laps. I was running there, and I had the valve stem shoot out of the left rear tire. That ran it out of air, and then it popped it off the bead." Unfortunately, the flat knocked Tafoya from second in the heat to last. And it knocked him off the pole for the main. Instead of starting at the head of the pack, he had to roll off inside row four. The stacked field did not disappoint the fans as the drivers put on the usual Perris Auto Speedway "war." Tafoya looked good in the beautiful #51T and battled throughout the race, finishing eighth. "I think car-wise and driver-wise, that is the closest I have been in a while," Tafoya said of the race. "It was definitely a positive. The setup felt good. I was pretty happy with how it went. I was just a little bit off. A lot of guys were going fast, so it was a lot different starting seventh than it would have been starting on the pole." Central Arizona Speedway is located in Casa Grande on the Pinal County Fairgrounds at 512 S 11 Mile Corner Road. Adult tickets for the shows are $25.00 each night.

- 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.
