  BRENT SEXTON WRAPPED UP HIS 2024 SEASON AT THE TURKEY NIGHT GRAND PRIX

  (Lakeside, CA, December 4, 2023) A little over 10 months after it all began, Sexton Gatlin Racing's Brent Sexton wrapped up the 2024 campaign on Thanksgiving weekend in the 83rd running of the Turkey Night Grand Prix at the Ventura Raceway. The veteran racer competed in the Inland Rigging Ultimate Sprint Car Series portion of the program. The two-night show matched Lakeside, California-based Sexton against a stellar field of drivers from around the nation. Friday's preliminary night saw 50 cars show up at the tiny 1/5 of a mile track on the beach at the Ventura County Fairgrounds. Sexton, a 52-year-old Tennessee native, qualified fifth fastest in his group with a lap of 12.789. Powered by a former Rico Abreu Shaver 360 engine, the three-time lightning sprint car champion had a good starting position in his heat race on the inside of row three. Unfortunately, a tap with another car saw his right rear go flat. The deflation saw him finish 10th. That flat tire meant that Brent had to go to one of the B mains. The race was only 12 laps long and would go by in the blink of an eye on the little track. Starting ninth in the 10-car field, the wily veteran had to finish third to transfer to the A main. The laps wound down quickly and Sexton drove his way to sixth. However, time ran out before he could get past three more cars, and he was done for the night. The following evening, Brent had one shot at making the A-main. That came in one of the three B mains. It was a 12-lapper like Friday night, and he was starting ninth. However, this time he only had to get to fourth. Once again, he began passing cars and raced his way up to sixth. But like the night before, the laps ticked off quickly. Brent ended up two spots shy of the transfer. That ended his racing weekend and put wraps on his 2024 season. SGR is already making plans for the 2025 campaign, with the first race of the year coming in February. If you would like to join the team for a fun, exciting ride on the sprint car trail, call Brent Sexton or email him at the contact information at the top of this release. 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, Troy Dirt.

  EDDIE TAFOYA JR GETS A LITTLE TIME OFF BEFORE RETURNING TO THE SPRINT CAR WARS IN FEBRUARY

  (Chino, CA, November 19, 2024) Veteran sprint car racer Eddie Tafoya Jr of Chino Hills, California, is looking forward to getting some time off before he returns to the sprint car warfare in February. Plans right now call for him to make his 2025 debut in the family-owned #51T when the USAC National Sprint Car Series heads to Florida for its season openers. It will be the start of his sixth season racing 410 sprint cars. While not chasing any championships in 2024, Tafoya, who was the 2019 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year, finished third in the championship standings of the first-year Ultimate Sprint Car Series. The talented racer also finished 11th in points in the USAC/CRA series. All told he started 27 sprint car main events during the season. He finished in the top ten 13 times with a season-best second-place finish in the USCS race at Santa Maria on June 15th. His best finish in the USAC/CRA Series came the week before when he placed fourth at Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway in Bakersfield. Last Friday, on a day off from work and with no races on his schedule until 2025, the 27-year-old answered some questions about the 2024 season and what is on the horizon for next year. S.D.: First, the obvious question: how happy were you with the way 2024 went? Tafoya: I feel good. Always as a racer, I guess you always want more and want to do better. Definitely a solid year. About halfway through, we started picking and choosing what we wanted to do just to mellow out. We have been wide open for five years. We just wanted to give ourselves some time and make sure we were doing everything right and give ourselves the best shot going into the new year and see what we can do. S.D.: After a tough start to the season at Perris when you got clobbered from behind, I think you rolled it into the trailer every night. Tafoya: This year, I was really, really good on equipment. I really did not hurt much except maybe a bent axle or something minor like that. S.D.: That has to feel good knowing you do not have to repair and replace a bunch of torn-up stuff. Tafoya: Money wise it is always good. It is also good for your momentum. If you are tearing stuff up, you can kind of lose your way and get down. It can take too many races to get back to where you want to be. I like to keep pushing forward and not have too many setbacks. This year, we were really good about that stuff. S.D.: Were you guys getting burned out? Tafoya: It is not really the racing. It is all the stuff you have to do with a family team. Me and my dad are the only ones who do anything on our vehicles. We do have another guy, Curt, who helps me out a bunch. Other than that, when we break stuff or wreck stuff, it is just me and my dad in the shop late nights fixing stuff. It definitely takes a toll on you. Last year we were on the road traveling for eight weeks. It is just a big task to do when you both have full-time jobs. Between the both of us, we just kind of decided not to overwork ourselves this year. S.D. What does the equipment situation look like for 2025? Tafoya: We built a whole new car last year. Now I have three really, really good cars. So, we will just tear them down and rebuild them just to make sure we do not have any parts failures and stuff. As far as the package goes and our stuff, we are definitely happy with it. We are just going to make it nice and brand new again for next year. S.D. Will you run the same type of schedule in 2025 as you did this year, or will you try chasing points? Tafoya: I definitely want to do good in points, and a lot of cards have to fall in place. The last two years, we've had some freak stuff kind of go on that put us out of the points. Instead of banging our heads against the wall and scratch and claw for every point, we just kind of go to have fun and do the best we can do. That is usually when I am driving my best. S.D.: So, you have some time to get away from the race cars right now. What are you going to do? Tafoya: Yeah, for a little while. Off-season is not a full-time break for three months for sure. We will definitely go through our entire program and rebuild a lot of stuff and make sure we are all squared away and our ready to put our best foot forward in February. S.D.: A couple of weeks ago, you told me you wanted to open the season in February in Florida with the USAC National Sprint Cars. Is it the same plan now? Tafoya: The talk right now is to start in Florida in February, but that is about as far as it has gotten. We have our eyes set on that. See where it goes from there and just try to be in contention. Fans can follow Tafoya on Instagram @eddietafoya51. Tafoya and the #51T team would like to thank Specialty Fasteners, Inland Rigging, 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 racing program.

  LOGAN WILLIAMS HAS HIS BEST SEASON TO DATE

  (Ontario, CA, November 18, 2024) Logan Williams, the youngest of the three Williams brothers racing in the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series, recorded his best season to date in 2024. Driving the recognizable Flowdynamics #5W, he steered his way to a sixth-place finish in the championship standings. The finish and accomplishments achieved by the 28-year-old during the year have him ready to return when the series commences on the other side of the new year. Williams, who lives in Yorba Linda, California, had perfect attendance in the 20th season of the series that is headquartered in Southern California. In the 22 races that comprised the schedule, he started the A main 21 times. In those, the friendly driver finished in the top five six times and the top ten 15 times. Of the top five, his best outing was a second at Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway on the second Saturday in June. He also placed third and fourth two times each and had a fifth-place result. "I would not say satisfied," Williams responded when asked about his 2024 campaign. "We obviously wanted to win, but it was definitely our best season by far." "Probably almost winning at Perris," the 28-year-old quickly answered about his highlight of the year. "We led 21 laps or whatever. And Santa Maria when we had a good chance to win when Chiaramonte won. Also, when I finished second at Kern. Those three right there stand out for me." While the 2014 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year has been a formidable competitor throughout his career, his performances in 2024 were noticeably improved over his previous campaigns. In fact, he was a contender every time he came to the track during the year. "Just figuring stuff out with the cars, and me being able to do better towards the end of the races," the confident driver said when asked what propelled him to such a good season. "Me, my dad, Randy, and Clayton worked on the car. Mike English (a past top competitor in the series) set up my car at the last race." Amongst the series regulars that Williams squared off against at every race were his two older brothers, Cody and Austin. That provided an interesting angle coming into the last race of the year. Cody, the eldest of the siblings, was sixth in the championship standings and Logan was seventh. However, the gap between the two was only 10 points coming into the finale at Perris Auto Speedway on November 9th. Before the main event, Cody added a few more digits when he was the second-fastest qualifier on the night. At that point, it looked like Logan would be forced to settle for seventh in the points race. Magnifying his advantage, Cody was starting fifth in the main while Logan began the final battle of the year in ninth. But, Cody left the fray on lap 22 and placed 18th. With Logan rolling forward from ninth to sixth, he earned enough points to take the sixth spot in the standings back from his brother and thus, earned bragging rights over the winter. "You try to race everybody as hard as you can," he replied when asked about racing against his brothers. "You try to be a little more careful around them, I guess. We all want to do good and want each other to do good as well." Now with some time off, Williams is going to kick back a bit before sliding back into the cockpit early in 2025. "Not much, to be honest," Williams laughed when asked about his winter plans. "Just work on the car a little bit and enjoy my time off until we start racing again. We plan on running the full season next year. We may have some trouble getting some funding to make it the whole year, but as of right now, we plan on making all of them." Williams and his teammate Matt McCarthy would like to thank the following sponsors for making the 2024 season possible. Flowdynamics Inc., PurgePlugs.com, Cal Therm Mechanical Insulators, JFK Design Build, So Cal Racing Fuel, and Full Throttle Lift.

  THREE RACES REMAIN ON LOGAN WILLIAMS 2024 USAC/CRA SPRINT CAR SERIES SCHEDULE

  (Ontario, CA, October 31, 2024) Rising California sprint car star Logan Williams begins the final two weekends of his 2024 season this Friday and Saturday, November 1st and 2nd, in the 57th Annual Avanti Windows and Doors Western World Championships at Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway. The 28-year-old will bring the final curtain down on his season at Perris Auto Speedway on November 9th. For Williams, who comes into the race sixth in the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA championship standings, 2024 is the third straight year that he has competed in the famous Western World Championships. His best outing in the race came in last year's preliminary night when he finished eighth. Williams, who resides in Yorba Linda, California, spent time away from racing last week. Two weeks ago, he ran back-to-back nights when USAC/CRA made its first-ever visit to the quarter-mile Imperial Valley Raceway. Opening night, he qualified eighth fastest and placed third in his heat. Starting on the outside of the front row in the main. Williams, 28, raced within the top five until getting caught up in someone else's mess later in the race. Unfortunately, that scrape resulted in him getting saddled with an 18th-place finish. Twenty-four hours later, Williams rebounded nicely from the first night. He qualified in the 15th spot. He steered the pretty #5W under the checkered flag in second place in his 10-lap heat race. Unfortunately, he had to start 15th in the main event. However, he put on a crowd pleasing show once the race began. After starting 13th, he passed six cars and finished the 30 lapper in seventh. Only two other drivers passed more cars than Williams in the exciting race. This week will be the third appearance for National Sprint Car Hall of Famer Rip Williams' youngest son at Mohave this year. Thus far, he has finished in the ninth and 12th places at "Arizona's Baddest Bullring" in 2024. The ninth was his best finish at the track since USAC/CRA started heading there in 2022. Fans who cannot make it to Mohave Valley to see Williams and all the other stars in person can watch both nights live on Flo Racing. Gates at the Mohave Valley Raceway will open at 5:00 p.m. each day, with racing at 7:00. An adult two-day ticket is $45.00. Single-day tickets are $25.00 for adults and $15.00 for children.

  EDDIE TAFOYA JR HEADS TO MOHAVE VALLEY FOR THE 57TH WESTERN WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

  (Chino, CA, October 30, 2024) With a dazzling new wrap on his hauler, Eddie Tafoya Jr. is ready for the biggest race of his 2024 season this Friday and Saturday, November 1st and 2nd, at the Mohave Valley Raceway. The event is the historic 57th annual Avanti Windows and Doors Western World Championships for the USAC/CRA Sprint Cars. Each night, the program will feature full shows with qualifying, heat races, and main events. The two nights of racing this weekend will take place at one of Tafoya's favorite tracks. The racy 1/3 mile banked oval, which is just minutes from the Colorado River and less than a half hour from downtown Laughlin, Nevada, is known for some of the best wheel-to-wheel action in the country. Every time he is there, Tafoya is in the thick of the wild battles, and he can usually be found rim-riding at the top. "I don't know if it is the track shape, or maybe the banking, I am just really confident getting the car in there," Tafoya said before his last trip to Mohave in October. "Ever since I was there the first time, I have had a good base setup. I just jell well (there). So, it is really exciting to go back there. I think that is the only track I have been good at every single time. I need to figure out what I am doing there and carry it on to the other places." This weekend will be Tafoya's third time at the track this year. He placed in the top 10 in his first two appearances. On April 6th, the 27-year-old veteran racer was the second-fastest qualifier on the night. He started sixth in his heat race and moved forward to finish fourth. That night, he began the main event on the inside of row three in fifth and placed six. Last month, when Tafoya returned to battle on the edge-of-your-seat track, he turned in the eighth-fastest qualifying time and dazzled the crowd with a brave ride around the top to win the second 10-lap heat race. He began the 30-lap feature in the eighth spot and finished seventh. The first time he ever saw the "Copper State" track on April 22nd, 2022, he finished third in the USAC/CRA main event. "Driving-wise, it is one of my favorite racetracks," Tafoya said. "You can be really aggressive for most of the night until it slicks off. Even when it was slick last year, I think I was the only one running the top until I got to the front and showed those guys that. It is fun, and it is a racy little place. Hopefully, some moisture stays in the dirt for us." Gates at Mohave Valley Raceway will open at 5:00 p.m. each day, with racing at 7:00. An adult two-day ticket is $45.00.

  TWO USAC/CRA RACES ON TAP FOR LOGAN WILLIAMS THIS WEEKEND AT IMPERIAL

  (Ontario, CA, October 17, 2024) After a short five-day turnaround, Logan Williams will be back in the Flowdynamics #5W this Friday and Saturday when the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series heads to the Imperial Valley Raceway for the 3rd Southern Fall Classic. Spectator gates will open at 5:00 PM both nights, with racing at 7:00. General admission grandstand tickets are free. Last Saturday, Williams and his crew made the journey to the Mohave Valley Raceway in western Arizona. The 28-year-old opened the night by being the 14th fastest car in qualifying with a time of 15.477. He then started on the outside of the second 10-lap heat race on the balmy desert night. When the checkered flag ended the race on the lightning-quick, banked 1/3 mile oval, Williams sailed past the start-finish line in third. For the 18th main event in the series 20th season, Williams, who lives in Yorba Linda, California, began in the 14th spot. Like always, he moved forward in the main event and advanced two spots to finish 12th. The result ended a three-race streak of top-10 finishes, and it was only the fourth time this season that he has finished worse than 10th. Going into this weekend's races, Williams is sixth in the series championship standings. He is a mere four points out of fifth and only 38 markers out of fourth. Williams will compete on the same fairgrounds the original CRA first raced on in 1956 and his National Sprint Car Hall of Fame father, Rip Williams, debuted on 47 or 48 years ago. At that time, the action was contested on a large half-mile oval. Saturday's race will be conducted in front of the same grandstands and on the same front straightaway as when his father raced there. However, the track being used this weekend will be a quarter-mile oval. Once again, general admission seating is free on both nights. Spectator gates will open at 5:00 p.m., and the first race will take the green flag at 7:00. Imperial Valley Raceway is located on the Imperial Fairgrounds at 200 East 2nd Street in Imperial, California. After this weekend's races, Williams will get a week off before heading to the 57th Annual Avanti Windows and Doors Western World Championship at Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway on November 1st and 2nd. A week later, he will be at the year's final USAC/CRA race at Perris Auto Speedway on November 9th.

  SEXTON GATLIN RACING GOING TO IMPERIAL VALLEY RACEWAY THREE STRONG THIS WEEKEND

  (Lakeside, CA, October 15, 2024) Sexton Gatlin Racing returns to action in a big way this Friday and Saturday at the Imperial Valley Raceway. Father and son drivers Brent and Grant Sexton will be contesting both nights in the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series 3rd Annual Heritage Fall Classic. The newest member of SGR, Braydin Collie, will also be on hand for the SoCal Lightning Sprint Cars portion of the two-night affair. Brent, 52, comes into this weekend's races off his second-best USAC/CRA finish of the 2024 campaign. That was an 11th at Perris Auto Speedway on September 21st. That finish was only superseded by a ninth at Perris on July 13th. Coming into this week's races, Brent is 13th in series points and is third in the Rookie of the Year award chase. Grant, who turned 20 three months ago, has been in the wrong place at the wrong time several nights in the USAC/CRA Series this season. Getting dragged into the mistakes of others has proved to be costly during the current campaign. While he has been fast every night, the 2023 Rookie of the Year has one top 10 finish in USAC/CRA this season. That came at Perris when he placed sixth in the 30-lapper on June 6th. The young driver enters the weekend 15th in points. Last March, Brent and Grant both competed at Imperial during the California Mid-Winter Fair. Brent raced the opening weekend in the inaugural races of the SoCal Lightning Sprint Car Series. The three-time lightning champion had a successful weekend, placing second and fourth. A week later, he jumped up to the open competition full-size sprint cars and placed 12th and 16th. Grant had a better result than Brent on that weekend when he came home ninth and fifth. Last season, Brent raced lightning sprints four times at Imperial. He never finished worse than fourth, including a win in the POWRi Southwest Series a year ago this weekend. San Diego's AJ Bender also triumphed for Lakeside, California-based SGR at Imperial in 2023. In addition to those wins, El Cajon's Braden Chiaramonte had a victory for the team early in the year. That gave SGR wins in three of the five lightning mains at the fairgrounds oval in 2023. In 2022, Brent recorded two wins at the track, and his oldest son, Dalton, also notched one victory. For Collie, this week's races will mark his first appearance on the Imperial Valley oval. It will be a unique one as well. On Friday night, he and the other SCLS drivers will be racing without wings. Friday will only be his second time racing sans wings. The last time was at Barona three weeks ago. In that race, he started eighth and finished sixth. On Saturday, the drivers will all compete with their cage and nose wings affixed to the cars. The weekend will mark Collie's fifth and sixth races in a lightning sprint car and only his second and third races away from Barona. Thus far in his budding lightning career, Collie has finished sixth or better in three of his four races. The highlight thus far was a fifth place at Barona on August 3rd. Despite only contesting three SCLS races, Collie has climbed up to 14th in points. General admission tickets for this weekend's races are free. Gates will open at 5:00 p.m. with racing at 7:00. Imperial Valley Raceway is located on the Imperial Fairgrounds at 200 East 2nd Street in Imperial, California. 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, Troy Dirt.

  EDDIE TAFOYA JR FINISHES EIGHTH AT KERN AND HEADS TO MOHAVE VALLEY RACEWAY THIS SATURDAY

  (Chino, CA, October 10, 2024) After placing eighth in the final regular season main event for the Ultimate Sprint Car Series presented by Inland Rigging last weekend at Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway, Eddie Tafoya Jr. heads east to Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway for this Saturday's Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series race. Saturday's race will be a tune-up for November's 57th Annual Western World Championship at Mohave Valley. Tafoya, 27, came into the final USCS points race of the season third in the series championship standings. The veteran racer was one of 18 cars that turned up for the race at the track in Bakersfield, California. The Chino Hills, California resident qualified fastest of his group of six cars with a lap of 15.558. That was also the fourth-fastest time overall. In his heat race, the 2018 Perris Auto Speedway Young Guns champion began in fifth and moved forward to finish third. That placed him on the inside of row two for the final 30-lap regular season main event. Going into turn one on the initial start, the pole sitter had issues and ended up stopped by the wall. It was hard to tell if Tafoya clipped the stopped car or not. In fact, Tafoya himself was not sure if contact was made. On the restart, Tafoya was coming from the pole. However, as soon as the green lights came back on, it became clearly evident that he did make contact with the stopped car on the initial go. He slid back into the pack and eventually finished eighth. Despite the finish, he maintained third place in the overall standings in the USCS first season. "I think he (the polesitter) had too much throttle on the start and slid it right through the slick in the middle," Tafoya said of the main event start. "Backed himself into the wall and kind of bounced back. I didn't know if I for sure clipped him but I thought I might have. Based on the way the rest of the race went, it kind of showed that (he clipped the stopped car). My rear end was out of square and the bird cages were all off. I was kind of a sitting duck wherever I went that race." Saturday's USAC/CRA race will be Tafoya's fifth on the longtime Mohave Valley track that is located five minutes from the Colorado River and 20 minutes from downtown Laughlin, Nevada. His initial outing at the 1/3 mile banked oval ended with his best finish there thus far when he placed third on April 23, 2023. Six months later, he visited again and steered his beautiful #51T to an eighth place result. In 2023, Tafoya paid two visits to Mohave Valley. While his end results did not show it, he was a contender each time. At the start of April, in front of one of the largest crowds in track history, the well-spoken racer qualified third fastest of the 30 cars on hand. He then came from sixth to finish third in his heat. The 2019 USAC/CRA Rookie of the year was running in the top five in the main event when he slid to a stop in turn one. Being the cause of the red flag, he had to restart at the back of the 22 car field. From that point on, he put on a show, passing more cars than any other driver to finish 12th. Six months later, Tafoya was a contender again working his way into second place. However, his engine began laying down, and he wisely pulled off the track to prevent damage. Sadly, that left him with a 12th-place finish. "I don't know if it is the track shape, or maybe the banking, I am just really confident getting the car in there," Tafoya said on Thursday afternoon while on his way to the race shop to work on the car. "Ever since I was there the first time, I have had a good base setup. I just jell well (there). So, it is really exciting to go back there. I think that is the only track I have been good at every single time. I need to figure out what I am doing there and carry it on to the other places." "Driving-wise, yeah, it is one of my favorite racetracks," Tafoya continued. "You can be really aggressive for most of the night until it slicks off. Even when it was slick last year, I think I was the only one running the top until I got to the front and showed those guys that. It is fun, and it is a racy little place. Hopefully, some moisture stays in the dirt for us." To see Tafoya in action on Saturday, the Mohave Valley Raceway is located at 2750 E. Laguna Rd. in Mohave Valley, Arizona (86440). Gates at the popular track will open at 5:00 p.m. The night's first green flag will wave at 7:00. Adult tickets are $25.00. Kids 6-12 get in for $15.00, and children five and under are free. It is cash only for tickets (no ATMs on site). Concessions, souvenirs, and the beer garden take cash or cards. For more information, the track website is https://www.mohavevalleyraceway.com/ and the office phone is (928) 346-6000. For fans who cannot attend the race in person, it will be shown live on pay-per-view at the following link: https://drc.tv/. After this weekend's race, Tafoya will wrap up the USAC/CRA season at the 57th Annual Avanti Windows and Doors Western World Championship at Mohave Valley on November 1st and 2nd. One week later on November 9th, he will be in action for the season finale at Perris Auto Speedway. Friendly Tafoya is always happy to meet the fans in the pits after every race. He will sign autographs, pose for photos, and sell his beautiful 2024 team shirts. For fans who cannot attend the races, the team shirts are available at www.specialty-fasteners.com. Fans can follow Tafoya on Instagram @eddietafoya51. Tafoya and the #51T team would like to thank Specialty Fasteners, Inland Rigging, 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 racing program.

  (Ontario, CA, October 9, 2024) Talented Flowdynamics racer Logan Williams will hit the home stretch of his 2024 season when the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series visits Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway this Saturday night. After this week's show, the 28-year-old racer will only have five races remaining before bringing down the curtain on his 2024 racing campaign. 451244812_7834458623257138_2040436876729346144_n.jpg #5W Logan Williams in action at Perris Auto Speedway. Doug Allen photo. This year has been a breakout season for the Yorba Linda, California driver. After the first race of the season, he was seventh in the series championship standings. That was the only time the pleasant driver has been outside of the top six all season long. He has been in the top five in the standings for the last four months dating back to June 8th. His highest ranking of the year came in week 11 when he was third. Williams comes into this Saturday's race at "Arizona's Baddest Bullring" fifth in the title chase. In his last appearance at the track that is located 20 minutes from downtown Laughlin, Nevada, he turned in the seventh fastest qualifying time of the 28 cars on hand. He closed that night by finishing ninth in the 30-lap main. Prior to this season, Williams had appeared three times on the 1/3 of a mile banked oval located approximately five minutes from the Colorado River. His first appearance came on April 23rd, 2022. In that one, he got caught up in somebody else's mess early in the main and was saddled with a 22nd-place finish. Six months later, he recorded his best Mojave finish when he came home eighth. In 2023, he only journeyed to the track one time and placed 11th. Williams' last time on track came two weeks ago when the USAC/CRA series visited Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway in Bakersfield, California. That night, he started ninth and finished 10th in the 30-lap main, giving him 13 top 10 finishes in 16 starts this season. To see the popular Williams in action on Saturday, the Mohave Valley Raceway is located at 2750 E. Laguna Rd. in Mohave Valley, Arizona (86440).

  EDDIE TAFOYA JR ENTERS FINAL USCS REGULAR SEASON RACE THIRD IN POINTS

  (Chino, CA, October 3, 2024) When the Ultimate Sprint Car Series presented by Inland Rigging wraps up its inaugural regular season this Saturday night, October 5th, at Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway, Eddie Tafoya Jr. will come into the fray third in the championship standings. The 27-year-old has made two appearances at the track recording a fourth on June 8th and a ninth on August 31st. Both of those races came while competing with the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars. Tafoya's last appearance in the USCS Series came on September 14th when he placed seventh in the main event at the Ventura Raceway. That was the second-best result for the Chino Hills, California driver in the USCS this year. It was only superseded by his second-place run with the first-year racing organization at the grand reopening of the Santa Maria Speedway on June 15th. Tafoya's last track appearance came two weeks ago when he placed sixth in the USAC/CRA main event at Perris Auto Speedway. That ran his streak of top-10 finishes in the series to nine straight races. The streak has now stretched over six months. After this week's regular season-ender for the USCS, he will have one race left in the series this season. That will be the sprint car portion of the annual Turkey Night Grand Prix at the Ventura Raceway on Thanksgiving weekend. Sandwiched in between now and then, Tafoya can run six races in the USAC/CRA Series. The 2019 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year has already submitted his entry for the prestigious 57th Annual Avanti Windows and Doors Western World Championship at Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway on November 1st and 2nd. For fans wanting to travel to this week's USCS race at Kern, adult tickets are $25.00. For kids 6-12, it is only $10.00. Children 5 and under are free.

  LOGAN WILLIAMS TIED FOR FOURTH HEADING INTO SATURDAY'S KERN USAC/CRA RACE

  (Ontario, CA, September 26, 2024) Flowdynamics racer Logan Williams will be back in action this Saturday when the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars visit the Kevin Harvick Kern Raceway for the "Bakersfield Bash." The Yorba Linda, California-based driver enters the race tied for fourth in the series point standings with seven races to go in the season. Saturday will mark the season's third stop for the talented 28-year-old at Kern. The first two trips to the track located in Bakersfield have provided the friendly driver with a mixed bag of results. On June 8th, he placed second on the 1/3 mile oval. That was his best finish of the season. Four weeks ago, in his last appearance at the track located in the shadow of the paved half-mile oval, mechanical ills knocked him out of the race, and he came home 18th. That was only the third time he finished out of the top 10 in 2024. Last Saturday night, on the same track he won the 2023 Young Guns Championship, Perris Auto Speedway, Williams, kicked off the night by qualifying 10th fastest in the good-looking #5W. A famous West Coast Williams sprint car racing family member, he began and finished his 10-lap heat race in fourth. In a wild 30-lap main that saw numerous yellow and red flags due to crashes, Williams began the race in 10th. He was one of the few racers in the event who managed to stay out of trouble. Staying out of the chaos, he appeared to have a chance to finish in the top five for the seventh time this season. However, he rolled to a stop in turn two late in the race during a yellow flag period. The car had run out of fuel. After restarting in the rear, Williams drove back to the 10th spot before the checkered flag waved. "We ran out of fuel," Williams said after the race. "Something was wrong with the fuel system. We went through 34 gallons when usually we go through 25." Williams emerged from the race tied for fourth in the USAC/CRA championship standings. He is 46 points behind the third-place driver, who happens to be his brother Austin. After this week's Kern race, Williams and the rest of the USAC/CRA stars and cars have the October 5th weekend off. However, his schedule gets busy after that. On October 12th, he will be competing at Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway. The following week on the 18th & 19th, he will be racing at the Imperial Valley Raceway near the southeast corner of California. Williams will return to Mohave Valley on November 1st and 2nd for the 57th Western World Championship presented by Avanti Windows and Doors. One week later, on November 9th, he will finish the 2024 campaign at Perris Auto Speedway. Spectator gates for this Saturday's race will open at 5:00 p.m., with racing at 7:00. Adult tickets are $25.00. Kids 6-12 get in for $10.00, and children 5 and under are free. The track is located at 15300 Raceway Boulevard in Bakersfield. Advance tickets are available through the track website at www.kernraceway.com. The office phone number is 616-835-1264. Whenever you get the chance to meet Williams in person, be sure to see him in the pits. He will gladly sign autographs, and have his fine-looking team shirts available. If you or your company would like to be a part of one of the West Coast's most prominent sprint car teams in the 2024 season, please contact John McCarthy at 909 930-5522 or john@flodyinc.com.

  ALERT DRIVING SAW TAFOYA EXTEND USAC/CRA TOP 10 FINISH STREAK TO NINE AT PERRIS

  (Chino, CA, September 25, 2024) Eddie Tafoya Jr. survived most of the chaos in last Saturday's Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car race and came home sixth at Perris Auto Speedway. The finish was his ninth straight top-10 result in the series. The last time Tafoya, 27, did not place in the top 10 was in a USAC/CRA race over six months ago. That came when he finished 12th in a rain-shortened event at Arizona's Cocopah Speedway on March 23rd. His best outing in the nine-race streak came on June 8th when he placed fourth at Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway. Last week on the famous Perris half-mile oval, Tafoya was strong through the preliminary part of the night. The Chino Hills, California-based racer qualified in the upper half of the field with the ninth-fastest time of 17.012. In his eight-lap heat race, he started and finished fourth. If he looked strong in the prelims, he was more powerful in the 30-lap main. Tafoya performed well on a night where self-preservation meant as much as anything else in the feature. In a race that looked a lot like the track's popular Night of Destruction with several cars destroyed, he mostly steered through the chaos. After starting ninth, his only encounter came on a restart when several cars in front of him got into a tangle "Yeah, I saw a couple people get sideways in front of me and everyone started checking up, and I checked up," Tafoya said. "I got hit from behind. I did like a full 360 pirouette in the air. I thought I was going over. Luckily it landed back on all four, and everything was still bolted together. I got lucky there." Tafoya had to take the eye-catching #51T to the back for the restart. From there, he moved forward. Deftly avoiding some more questionable maneuvers, he drove all the way back through the pack to finish sixth. It was his best Perris finish thus far in 2024. One of the keys to finishing in the top 10 for Tafoya is staying out of trouble. He certainly knows that you cannot do well if you do not finish the race. He has done well with that throughout his career. "I am pretty aware of what is going on around me and looking ahead," the 2019 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year said when asked about his string of top 10s. "I don't know if it comes from dirt bikes or all the other racing I have done. Seems like a lot of these guys are just racing the guys right in front of them when there is a whole other race going on. It definitely helps me out being able to avoid stuff." Tafoya is pleased with his runs in the top, but like most racers, he wants more. "It is nice being in the top 10," Tafoya said. "I would just like to qualify a little better and be up in the mix. It seems like I can qualify really close to the top everywhere but Perris. I definitely need to figure something out there. I felt good Saturday (in qualifying). I got a little loose on my fast lap, the second lap. There was a hole down the straightaway that I got into, and it got me a little light. That is probably the best I felt in a long time. It just sucks that I could not put it together." In addition to his nine top 10s in USAC/CRA competition, Tafoya has a pair of top 10s in the Ultimate Sprint Car Series presented by Inland Rigging. The first was his best overall finish of the year when he placed second at Santa Maria on June 15th. The other came two weeks ago when he drove to a seventh at the Ventura Raceway. Next up for Tafoya will be a USCS race at Kern on October 5th. Friendly Tafoya is always happy to meet the fans in the pits after every race. He will sign autographs, pose for photos, and sell his beautiful 2024 team shirts. For fans who cannot attend the races, the team shirts are available at www.specialty-fasteners.com. Fans can follow Tafoya on Instagram @eddietafoya51. Tafoya and the #51T team would like to thank Specialty Fasteners, Inland Rigging, 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 racing program.

  BRENT SEXTON PLACES 11TH IN USAC/CRA MAIN AT PERRIS ON HIS MOM'S BIRTHDAY

  (Lakeside, CA, September 24, 2024) A festive mood greeted visitors to the Sexton Gatlin Racing pit area when the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars visited Perris Auto Speedway last Saturday night. The crew and drivers were celebrating the birthday of Brent Sexton's mom and co-team owner, Nita Gatlin. On the night, Brent steered his eye-catching #44 to an 11th-place finish in the 30-lap main event. On the pleasant last day of summer, when the daytime temperature failed to reach 100 degrees at the track for the first time at a PAS sprint car race since April, Brent was accompanied by his talented 20-year-old son, Grant. Besides them, 20 of the other fastest traditional sprint cars on the West Coast were on hand for an evening of 410 sprint car series racing. Grant got the ball rolling for SGR when he timed in 14th fastest of the cars on hand with a lap of 17.343. Brent, 52, was not far behind when he stopped the track clocks at 17.590. That was just under a quarter second slower than his son. That is very good considering he was using a 360 engine and he was pitted against a powerful field of 410s. It was the 18th best time of the night. For Grant, the 2021 POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car champion, his lap placed him on the outside of row one in the second 10-lap heat race. Ultimately, the talkative racer ended up in the same second-place position as he started. Brent also started on the front of his heat, and after scrapping up front early on, he rolled past the checkers in sixth. When the 22-car field pulled onto the track for the 30-lap finale, Grant was on the outside of the seventh row, and Brent was outside row nine. Unfortunately, Grant's time in the race did not last long. A wild lap-two crash involving several cars in front of him gathered him in. His car and four others suffered major damage and were knocked out of the race. Sadly, that meant he ended up 21st. Brent managed to steer his way through the crash and several others in the remainder of the race. With the numerous tangles throughout the night, that was a feat in itself. By the end of the 30th lap, he improved his position by six spots to finish 11th. That was his second-best result in the USAC/CRA Series this season. It was also his fourth best of the year overall in a full-sized sprint car, as he has ninth-place finishes in both USAC and the USCS. He also has a 10th in USCS competition. Brent left Perris 13th in points, with Grant 14th. In addition, Brent is third in the Rookie of the Year chase and is just 35 points out of second. This Saturday night, September 28th, rookie Braydin Collie will be making his fourth start in the SGR #44 in the SoCal Lightning Sprint Car Series. The teen has finished in the top 10 in his first three starts placing fifth and ninth at Barona and sixth at Santa Maria. The last time the USCS ran wingless was at Barona on May 25th, and the car Collie was driving won the main event with Brent at the wheel. To see Collie in action at Barona, gates will open at noon, with racing at 6:00. Adult tickets are $20.00. For kids 7 to 17, admission is $10.00. Seniors, Military, and EMTs also get in for $10.00. Children 6 and under are free. Family packs of two adults and two kids are $50.00. Parking is free. The Barona Speedway is located at 1754 Wildcat Canyon Road in Lakeside, California.
