  BRODY ROA AND TOMMY DUNKEL'S TURKEY NIGHT GRAND PRIX DID NOT GO AS PLANNED

  (Cypress, CA, December 1, 2023) To say that the Inland Rigging Sprint Car team had a dream season in 2023 is an understatement. Brody Roa won the USAC/CRA championship and Tommy and Christy Dunkel captured the car owner title. Dunkel scored his first-ever sprint car win in a VRA race at Ventura in April. Roa won eight USAC/CRA races and scored another victory in a Southern California Open Comp race at Imperial. Between the two, heading into the Turkey Night Grand Prix, they had 37 starts and rolled the cars back into the trailer all but one time. It was indeed a dream season. A Kenny Lonngren photo of Brody Roa and the Inland Rigging Racing Team Logo are attached to this release. If everything up to Ventura was a dream, the 82nd running of the Turkey Night Grand Prix ended up being a frustrating nightmare for the team. Last week, Tommy Dunkel sat down and reflected on the nightmarish end to the year. S.D.: The Inland Rigging team came into Turkey Night with high hopes with newly crowned USAC/CRA Champion Brody Roa, and yourself who won at Ventura this season. In addition, you had Eddie Tafoya flying the Inland colors at Ventura where he was fast qualifier in a USAC/CRA race in 2022. You guys were certainly prepared for a big weekend. Dunkel: We came in swinging for the fences. We thought we had a super good shot between me, Brody, and Eddie Tafoya. We have all had some pretty good success there. We came in there with our heads held high for sure. S.D.: How did your own night start? Dunkel: My hot laps were okay. Typical Ventura, super greasy and they threw the green way too soon. I was still okay with it being there were 53 cars or whatever it was (plus 48 midgets). My heat race was good. I started second and fell back one spot but I was on them. I was on first and second showing them a wheel. I was very happy (after) as it was still super one lane on the bottom. I did not want to chance junking my stuff having to physically move people out of the way. When it goes one lane that is what it comes down too. You have to start moving people. We came out of it with a third and it was a fairly stacked heat race. S.D.: What happened next? Dunkel: That was heat three. I got back to the pits and got out of my car and got back up there to watch Brody in heat five. That is when disaster struck. S.D.: At that point, things began to unravel fast with Brody's crash. What caused it? Dunkel: The initial start, he had a great start. I think he started 5th and he was up to second. Some people spun behind him on the opening lap. So, of course, they had to rerack them with everybody back to their original spot (for the restart). He was coming into three and I think he expected the car in front of him to stick to the bottom. I wouldn't say the guy slid up by any means, but he certainly did not hug the bottom like you would if you were running the bottom. Brody just clipped the right rear and that is what sent him for a big ride. S.D.: It was a scary crash and it was obvious from the time he stopped flipping that he had sustained an injury and he was initially unconscious. What were his injuries? Dunkel: When he got to the hospital he was very dazed. He was kind of coming and going as far as (knowing) where he was at. He got his bell rung. After some scans, he had a brain bleed. So they monitored him over night. By the morning they had the brain bleed stopped. By mid-morning they were in a position to release him from the hospital. He was very sore and obviously very shaken up but he is home and is well. S.D.: Brody left for the hospital in an ambulance. You still had a race and possibly two to go. However, you decided to sit out the rest of the night. Dunkel: Until we knew Brody was stable and okay, I made the decision to stay out of the car. I kind of felt like my head was not right with my driver being injured. If it was the average deal where he was sitting in the motorhome sore, absolutely I would have gotten back in the car. But we were kind of in the dark about how bad his head injury was. So, I decided to sit out. S.D.: Brody was out at the hospital and you pulled out. You still had Eddie Tafoya Jr. flying the Inland Rigging flag. Unfortunately, somebody else's faux pas knocked him out of his heat. Dunkel: It was super cool to help Eddie. I put a power plant in his car. It was unfortunate that he got upside down on Friday night because of another driver's mistake. The other (who caused the crash) driver came over to my pit and said, 'man did you see that? That was a brand new left rear tire.' I was obviously already shook up from the night. I have Brody in the hospital, me not running the rest of the night, and Tafoya upside down because of this driver. And there he is complaining to me about a tire. I don't want to say I let him have it, but he knows I was not happy." S.D.: You pulled out of the Friday night portion of the show. Why did you decide to continue on Saturday rather than throwing in the towel and coming home? Dunkel: So, we got the green light that Brody was okay and everything was going to be all right. Brody said, 'Hey, I am good. You guys go out and hammer down and represent the team.' We as a team decided to race. I knew I was behind the eight ball because I did not run my qualifier (Friday night) but I figured I was okay. I had passed a lot of cars there before. I knew that is what I had to do again. S.D.: You had to be relieved that Brody was going to be okay and you decided to race. Everything was fine. That is, it was momentarily fine. What happened next.? Dunkel: We just finished up having breakfast. I told my son Aiden I would be out there in a second. Let's get the car unloaded and get ready. I was still in the motor home finishing up my coffee and I just heard a crashing sound and blood-curdling screaming. Everyone had come running. What it was, was the tension cables on the hauler door had snapped and the door fell and crushed my son. S.D.: That had to be extremely frightening when you realized what had just happened. Dunkel: There was one guy from Jimmy May's camp who was out prepping their car. He saw the whole thing and came running to his aid. He could not get the door up by himself. Malyssa Perkins was close by and she helped. Enough guys got over there so we could get the doors up and at least get him out from underneath it. He was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance. After some scans and things, it was determined that he had a broken back and a broken sacrum. He spent Saturday to Wednesday afternoon at the Ventura County Hospital. S.D.: How is your son doing? Dunkel: He is doing much, much better. He is home. They want to see how well he does at home managing his pain. If it gets to be too much, then we will have to take him back. He is standing and he is kind of shuffling his feet to move ever so slowly. It is very positive progress but he has a long road ahead of him. S.D.: Needless to say with those two guys injured, you decided to pull out of Saturday's race. That should have put an end to all of the bad fortune, but that was not the case. What happened next? Dunkel: Saturday night we had one of our guys from Inland Rigging come up to drive our dually and small trailer home because that is what Aiden drives. He came up. His girlfriend was nice enough to give him a ride. We gave them our bicycles (e-bikes) to ride back to the hotel (very close to the track). They were locked in the truck in a locked camper shell and some thieves broke in and cut the locks and stole our not so cheap e-bikes! It just added insult to injury without a doubt. S.D.: I take it that is going to be the worst racing weekend you are ever going to have, correct? Dunkel: Yeah, that is done. That is the worst, it is out of the way and we are moving forward. S.D.: Upcoming is a busy week for you and the team. You are headed back to Indiana for among other things, the USAC banquet where Brody and you will receive your just rewards for winning the USAC/CRA title. Dunkel: You know what? It has given us something positive to look forward to. To celebrate the championship with the Roa group. It is a nice feather in our cap as a new team together. What the Roa's have spent so long doing and perfecting. They earned it. I just feel privileged to have the opportunity with those guys and go get a championship as a car owner. Brody and I have been pretty close for seven or eight years now. We are really looking forward to going there, letting loose a little bit, and getting to celebrate. S.D.: What is the itinerary for your time in the "Hoosier State?" Dunkel: We are flying out Wednesday night. DRC Chassis, which is the car we run, is having an open house on Thursday. We are going to attend that. With his chassis,' I want to say we are at 11 wins combined between Brody and I this year. Joe (Joe Devin who owns DRC) is pretty excited to have us there and we are excited to go. Friday is the banquet, and on Saturday we are going to attend P.R.I. S.D.: Are you already preparing for next year? Dunkel: We kind of have some big things in the works. We are planning to do as much CRA as possible. Malyssa Perkins and I are working together to put a new series together for 360 cars. It is going to be called the IRSCS (Inland Rigging Sprint Car Series). We are going to run at a handful of tracks. It is going to be open to 360s and 410s. 410s will just have to run a restrictor. Brody and I are going to focus on that series being that we are heavily involved with it. I am still going to run for CRA Rookie of the Year, but it just kind of depends on how the first half of the season goes. Our plan is to hit as many races as we can in the first half of the season and just kind of see how we are both doing. Brody has a new kid (his second daughter who was born earlier this year) and with running so hard as long as he has, he came and did what he had to do. That was winning the championship (USAC/CRA). I know he is ready to go back to just fun racing and run a light schedule. I am going to put Eddie (Tafoya) in a car for our series (in 2024) and he will run his own car in USAC/CRA. I know he wants to win a championship there. Dunkel and Roa want to thank the following sponsors for making the 2023 season possible. Inland Rigging, Dunkel Farms, United Asset Sales, Osborne Speed & Machine, "Biker" Bruce Fischer, ALR Virtual Services, Burris Racing, Caltrol, Jambo Barbeque Pits, Competition Suspension, K-1 Race Gear, Molecule, Rod End Supply, Driven Racing Oil, Baldwin Filters, and NGK Spark Plugs.

  GRANT SEXTON MAKES HIS FIRST TURKEY NIGHT GRAND PRIX SPRINT CAR MAIN EVENT

  (Lakeside, CA, November 28, 2023) For the first time in his young career, 19-year-old Grant Sexton qualified for the main event in the sprint car portion of the prestigious Turkey Night Grand Prix at the Ventura Raceway last Saturday night. The race closed the season for the young driver who captured the 2023 USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series Rookie of the Year award. Attached to this release is a Steve Lafond photo of Grant Sexton at the Turkey Night Grand Prix and the Sexton Gatlin Racing Team logo. Last week's race marked Sexton's second-ever attempt at Turkey Night. He made his debut in the long-running event in 2022. On that occasion, the then 18-year-old was fighting for one of the transfer spots in the B main when he became entangled in a couple of other driver's mess. That catastrophe knocked him out of the race. It was a bitter ending for the highly competitive teen. Last week, Sexton, who calls Lakeside, California home, was one of 52 entries in the sprint car division at the 82nd running of the historic motorsports event. Bent on making the main this year, he kicked off the two-night racing program in style when he scored a convincing run-away win in the first heat race of the weekend. At the checkers, he was nearly a full straightaway ahead of his closest challenger. After his heat race triumph, Sexton had a good chance of locking in one of the 10 spots for Saturday's A main event in his qualifier. Starting on the outside of row two in the 12-lap, 11-car race, he was forced wide in turn one on the opening lap. Subsequently, he slipped as far back as eighth. Never to be deterred, he got his elbows up and clawed his way forward all the way to fifth before the checkered flag halted the proceedings. Unfortunately, that was not enough to get him into the dash and he would have to run a B main on Saturday night. Sexton, who was the 2021 POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series champion, started on the pole in one of the 12-lap, 17-car B mains on Saturday. With a complete sellout crowd looking on, he steered his pretty #22 car into the lead at the drop of the green flag. The precocious racer led the first seven laps before relinquishing the top spot. From that point on, he stayed in second place and earned his ticket to his first Turkey Night Grand Prix main event. Starting 14th in the 30-lap finale, Sexton wisely bided his time early on. The youthful driver went outside and quickly became one of the best shows in the race. He picked off car after car and had worked his way up to fifth on the track with narrow straightaways. However, going into turn one late in the affair, he thought the bottom was taking rubber and he dove low in his immaculate #22. Unfortunately, it was still slick and he dropped back three positions. One lap later he stayed low and slipped backwards a few more spots. He was unable to regain those positions in the limited time remaining and took his final checkered flag of the 2023 season in 13th place. Grant will be back for his second full season in USAC/CRA while his father Brent will be trying to succeed him as Rookie of the Year. In addition, Brent will be doing some selected races in a lightning sprint.

  GRANT SEXTON FINISHES SEASON AT TURKEY NIGHT GRAND PRIX - BRENT SEXTON INJURED AT PLACERVILLE

  (Lakeside, CA, November 23, 2023) USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series Rookie of the Year Grant Sexton will close his 2023 season this Friday and Saturday in the 82nd running of the Turkey Night Grand Prix at the Ventura Raceway. Unfortunately, the 19-year-old's father Brent saw his season come to a premature end when he was injured in a nasty flip at the Placerville Speedway last Friday night. Attached to this release is a Doug Allen photo of Grant Sextonand the Sexton Gatlin Racing team logo. Grant, who lives in Lakeside, California, will be making his second appearance in the popular Thanksgiving weekend event. His first effort in the holiday special came last season. In that endeavor, he finished third in his heat race and fifth in his qualifier on the first night. At the Saturday finale, the well-spoken teen, who finished eighth in USAC/CRA points this year, had to race in one of the 12-lap B mains. The 2021 POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series champion started fifth in the race and moved forward. However, it was a night where survival of the fittest was a big part of the show. Throughout the race, he maintained one of the transfer spots and seemed assured of qualifying for the finale. With a couple of laps left, two cars tangled directly in front of him in turn three. The young driver had nowhere to go and got snared into the incident ending his night. Brent's season came to a scary end in his heat race on the first night of the Hangtown 100 at Placerville last Friday. The track had been pounded by rain and it was a "Cowboy Up" surface that would bite numerous drivers throughout the night. Unfortunately, one of those drivers was Brent. He started on the pole in the second heat on the Lightning Sprint Car portion of the doubleheader show. The 50-year-old was the first to turn one, but when he got there, his car bicycled and then went into a series of violent flips. Much to the relief of the crowd on the cold night, he climbed out of the car under his own power. While he seemed uninjured, something was not right. Forty-eight hours after the crash he decided to visit the E.R. near his home. As it turned out, he broke two ribs and injured his shoulder and legs. Fortunately, the Placerville crash came three nights after Sexton, the 2022 POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series champion, sewed up second overall in the SWLS standings with a fourth-place finish at the Bakersfield Speedway. That finish also sewed up fourth for him in the six-race Best of the West Series that matched the SWLS vs the California Lightning Sprint Cars. Earlier in the night before his fourth-place finish in the main, Sexton was the ninth-fastest qualifier in the 16-car field with a time of 13.206. He also won the second heat race. To see rising star Grant Sexton in action at the Turkey Night Grand Prix at Ventura, spectator gates will open at 3:00 p.m. each night with racing at 5:00. Advance tickets are available and advised at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/82nd-annual-turkey-night-grand-prix-tickets-629591554287?aff=oddtdtcreator. The track is located on the Ventura County Fairgrounds at 10 W. Harbor Boulevard (93001). The website is http://venturaraceway.com/ and the office phone number is (805) 648-RACE. For fans who cannot make it, both nights will be streamed live on Flo Racing. For more information or to order please visit https://www.floracing.com/.

  INLAND RIGGING DRIVERS ROA AND DUNKEL FINISH 2023 SEASON AT THE TURKEY NIGHT GRAND PRIX AT VENTURA

  (Cypress, CA, November 23, 2023) Inland Rigging drivers Brody Roa and Tommy Dunkel will wrap up their 2023 seasons this Saturday night at the historic 82nd running of the Turkey Night Grand Prix at Jim Naylor's Ventura Raceway. The two drivers will run their preliminary events on Friday night in the USAC West Coast Series. They will come back on Saturday evening for their main events. Joining the sprint cars on the two-night racing program will be the USAC National Midgets. Doug Allen Photos of Tommy Dunkel (#17A) and Brody Roa (#17R) are attached to this email. Last year before a near-capacity crowd at the Turkey Night Grand Prix, Dunkel and Roa were both in competition. However, they were not teammates on the night. Dunkel was driving his own car and Roa was driving for Central California car owner Jayson May. A year ago this weekend, Dunkel impressed the fans with an exciting display passing more experienced drivers. Starting 11th in the B main, he had to get to sixth. He did just that and earned his ticket into the finale of the sprint car portion of the TNGP. Starting on the back row in 23rd for the A main, Dunkel had to test his reflexes on several occasions in the main event in a race that sometimes looked like a free-for-all. Within the first three laps, he had moved up six spots to 17th. On the 19th lap, he was up to 15th and still moving forward. His drive included deftly avoiding a flipping car as he advanced through the field. With nine laps to go he raced into 14th. He stayed there until the last circuit when he took one more car and finished 13th. All told he passed a total of 15 cars on the night. Only two other drivers passed more. This season, Dunkel competed at Ventura more than any other racetrack. Coming into this weekend, the friendly driver has been at the racing facility six times. He finished in the top 10 four of the six. Highlighting his journeys to the track located adjacent to the beach on the Ventura County Fairgrounds was a main event victory on April 8th. He also notched second-place finishes on July 8th and September 2nd. For 2023 USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series champion Roa, it will be his first appearance at Ventura since the 81st edition of the prestigious race one year ago. On the opening night, the Garden Grove, California racer placed second in his heat and won his qualifier. He was running fourth in the dash and looked like a shoo-in for a top-four start before getting caught up in someone else's mess. Fortunately, his car was able to restart and he came from the back to finish sixth. Starting on the outside of row three in the Saturday night Finale, Roa quickly moved into fifth and was challenging for the fourth place position. However, his car was noticeably slowing. Even though his steed continued to decelerate, Roa was still in seventh late in the going. Unfortunately, an overzealous driver clobbered him from behind and knocked him out of the race with two laps remaining. Officially, he finished 17th. Earlier in 2022, Roa contested a USAC/CRA race at Ventura. On a one-lane, at the bottom track, Roa finished with a frustrating runner-up finish. While he was clearly faster than the leader, he did not want to risk getting freight-trained if he tried to drive around the outside Unlike some drivers, he raced clean and did not knock the leader out of the way. Instead, he clung to the leader's push bar and crossed the line in second. Spectator gates will open at 3:00 p.m. each night with racing at 5:00. Advance tickets are available and advised at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/82nd-annual-turkey-night-grand-prix-tickets-629591554287?aff=oddtdtcreator. The track is located on the Ventura County Fairgrounds at 10 W. Harbor Boulevard (93001). The website is http://venturaraceway.com/ and the office phone number is (805) 648-RACE. For fans who cannot make it, both nights will be streamed live on Flo Racing. For more information or to order please visit https://www.floracing.com/.

  BRADEN CHIARAMONTE CLOSES 2023 OUTDOOR SEASON THIS WEEK AT MERCED AND THE TURKEY NIGHT GRAND PRIX

  (El Cajon, CA, November 20, 2023) Rising open-wheel star Brayden Chiaramonte will close the outdoor portion of his 2023 racing schedule this week with races at the Merced Speedway Tuesday and Wednesday, November 21st and 22nd, and Saturday at the Ventura Raceway in the 82nd running of the Turkey Night Grand Prix. All three shows will see the talented driver competing in Matt Streeter's fast #14 USAC Midget. The teenage driver enters the final week of USAC competition after competing in the USAC National Midget Series races last Tuesday at the Bakersfield Speedway and Friday in the Hangtown 100 at the Placerville Speedway. Bakersfield Speedway, November 14th Thirty-six UASC National Midgets showed up at the Bakersfield for the first of six races in California. Making his first appearance in a midget in 10 months dating back to the Chili Bowl Midget Nationals in Oklahoma, Chiaramonte came out flying in qualifying. The 16-year-old from El Cajon, California turned in a lap of 12.900. That was good for the 11th fastest time in the 36-car star-laden field. Chiaramonte found himself outside row two in the third heat race. Running in the top four most of the way, he was clearly one of the fastest cars in the group. However, a late-race stop sent him to the back of the pack for a restart. He fought his way past one car when the race went back to green but time ran out and he finished eighth. That meant he had to contest the 12-lap B main. In a hard-fought, 16-car, star-filled B, Chiaramonte ended up seventh, missing a transfer to the A main by one position. PLACERVILLE SPEEDWAY, NOVEMBER 17th Chiaramonte and his team journeyed 300 miles north from Bakersfield to Placerville for Friday's opening night of the Hangtown 100. Before they got there, the track had been pounded by rain. The track staff did a stellar job getting the track good enough to race on. Qualifying was split up by heat race groups and Chiaramonte was third fastest in his group of nine cars with a lap of 12.407. That was good for the 17th-best time of the 36 cars on hand. While the track crew got the clay surface raceable, the rain made for technical, "cowboy up" conditions. With drizzle hitting the track for his heat, Chiaramonte started sixth. Unfortunately, a car spun to a stop in turn four in front of him on lap one. With nowhere to go, he nearly got past the stopped car, but nicked it with his right rear. The yellow for the spinner necessitated a complete restart. Battling for the fourth and final transfer spot, track conditions saw him bicycle in turn three with two laps to go. He quickly recovered but slipped back to sixth. That is where he finished and it forced him to contest the B main. Starting on the pole in the B, Chiaramonte tamed the track and led the first two circuits before slipping back to second on lap three. Going into turn one on the fourth go around, the new leader got upside down bringing out a red flag. Simultaneously, the heavens opened up again and saturated the track. By the time the rain stopped and the track crew had worked the surface back in, the action had been delayed for 45 minutes. When racing resumed, Chiaramonte started first and kept the black #14 in front over the final nine laps for the victory and his ticket into the main event. He started 20th in the 30-lap main event that went green to checkers without a caution or a red flag. The final rain made the track hard to pass on and the young driver ended up 22nd in the main event. Chiaramonte will conclude the outdoor portion of his season this Friday and Saturday in the 82nd Running of the Turkey Night Grand Prix at Jim Naylor's Ventura Raceway. Friday will be practice for the USAC National Midgets with their racing on Saturday. Advance tickets are available and advised at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/82nd-annual-turkey-night-grand-prix-tickets-629591554287?aff=oddtdtcreator. Gates will open at 3:00 p.m. each day.

  BRODY ROA CLOSED HIS 2023 USAC/CRA CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON WITH A SECOND-PLACE FINISH AT PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY

  (Cypress, CA, November 18, 2023) Brody Roa finished off his spectacular 2023 USAC/CRA Championship season with a second-place finish in the series finale at Perris Auto Speedway. The result gave him 14 top-five finishes in the 18 races on the schedule. Included among those top five were eight wins. The victories brought his lifetime total to 21 and propelled him to fourth all-time in the 24-season history of USAC/CRA. Roa, 32, entered the 2023 finale with the championship already wrapped up, but it did not hold back his effort. Competing against a stout 29-car field, he pushed the pristine white Inland Rigging #17R to the seventh-fastest qualifying time with a lap of 16.632. That placed him in the fifth starting spot in the third 10-lap heat race. The Garden Grove, California driver steered his way to an impressive second-place finish in the heat. Roa started on the pole for the final 30-lapper of the year at the legendary 27-year-old half-mile clay oval. From there he led the first 17 laps in the Tommy and Christy Dunkel-owned car before slipping back to second. He stayed there through the final USAC/CRA checkered flag of the 2023 season. Roa's eight wins in 18 USAC/CRA races and 14 top-five finishes are extremely impressive. Just as remarkable is the fact that he finished on the lead lap in 16 of the 18 races. In one of the races he did not, he was on his way to a certain victory when he was knocked out by a lapped car. "I never thought about it," Roa responded when he was asked about finishing on the lead lap all but two times. "Just getting lapped is something I am not really proud of. I guess thinking about it, that is pretty cool. I have never thought about it before." Throughout the season, Roa and the entire team were cool, calm, and relaxed. The season was stress free and that contributed a lot to the success. There was little worry throughout the year. "Not, not really," he answered if there was any time he was worried about the way things had gone. "The points deal, I was comfortable with it all year. The way we were running and the decisions (on the car) we were making were really good. There was no point in the year when we were really struggling that I thought we were not good enough to stay out there (in the point lead). I never got worried about it until the end when I was worried about finishing it. Honestly, I paid more attention to the heat race points than the year-end points." Another deal for Roa this year was the fact that for the first time, he was driving for someone else. Inland Rigging's Tom and Christy Dunkel provided him with everything he needed to win a championship. In addition to cars, they also added support away from the track and a great friendship. "It was smooth," he said about driving for the Dunkel's. "The 410 stuff really kind of operated the same. Tommy and I worked together really good on what we needed throughout the year. Having the 410 car at my house was nice. I could do what it needed maintenance-wise and make sure it was good to go. Tom was always there for support with what we needed. It was a really smooth transition. It almost seemed the same. Just with a different car and a different look." "Tom, Christy, and Inland Rigging have supported me for a few years now. It was not like somebody brand new came in and we had to learn to work together and learn to communicate. I think that really helped with the immediate success. We already had a relationship coming into the deal. This year it was just at a much higher level." With the busy season almost done, Roa will have some extra time on his hands. "I don't know," the friendly driver laughed when asked what he was going to do with the time off after Saturday's Turkey Night Grand Prix. "Christmas is a pretty serious thing around this household. We will do that. The week before Turkey Night we are going to go out to the river and do Thanksgiving out there. We will pretty much go straight from there to Ventura on Friday. Through the off season we will just spend some time with the family and find some cool stuff to do. Hang around home and make some plans for next year, too." One of the cool things he will do is go to the USAC Champions banquet in Indiana. It will be his second time there. The first came after he won the USAC West Coast Series Championship in 2016. Then there is this little indoor race in Tulsa in January. He has raced in the Chili Bowl before, but as of right now, he does not have a ride. "No plans for the Chili Bowl right now," Roa said. "I would love to. If anything I would love to go to the Chili Bowl. No plans to drive right now." "Yeah, oh yeah," he responded when asked if he would drive if someone called and offered him a Chili Bowl ride. "Definitely." Roa was not the only one flying the Inland Rigging banner at the Perris finale. Tommy Dunkel made his 410 debut in the USAC/CRA Series. While he has raced in the series with a 360 engine before, it was his first time racing a 410 and he gave a good account of himself. In his first voyage in a 410 sprint car, which is about as equal as riding a Brahma Bull in the PBR, he qualified 23rd of the 29 cars on hand. He placed seventh in his heat and eighth in the B main. That B main finish only left him two spots shy of making the 30-lap finale. In addition to Roa and Dunkel, the team brought a third car for Eddie Tafoya Jr. to race in The PAS Senior Sprint Cars. Racing for the first time in over half a decade, the past Pittsburgh Pirates draft choice won the Senior main event. The team wants to thank the following sponsors for making the 2023 season possible.

  AFTER ANOTHER IMPRESSIVE RUN IN A 410 SPRINT CAR, BRADEN CHIARAMONTE TAKES ON USAC MIDGET WESTERN SWING

  (El Cajon, CA, November 13, 2023) After another stunning performance where he finished fifth in his second 410 sprint car start, teenage sensation Braden Chiaramonte is teaming up with noted West Coast car owner Matt Streeter for the USAC National Midgets Western Swing beginning Tuesday at the famous Bakersfield Speedway. The duo will follow Tuesday's event with races Thursday and Friday at the Placerville Speedway, next Tuesday and Wednesday, November 21st and 22nd, at the Merced Speedway and Saturday, November 25th at the 82nd running of the Turkey Night Grand Prix at the Ventura Raceway. Chiaramonte, who lives in El Cajon, California, first teamed up with Streeter at the Bakersfield Speedway on April 16th, 2022. To the fans in the stands at the start of that night, the teen was just another name on the roster. That all changed in his first-ever USAC Midget heat race. After qualifying ninth, he started fourth in the hotly contested prelim. Using the outside line like a seasoned pro, he passed two cars in turn two on the first lap to move up to second. By the end of the first circuit, he had procured the lead and proceeded to move away from the pack. He led the race until lap seven when the defending series champion chased him down and got by. Chiaramonte finished second in that heat. By the time the main came around that night, the track was shot after being pounded by five other divisions. Chiaramonte, who was 15 at the time, started the main in ninth. By lap eight, he steered Streeter's #14 car up to fourth. A trip up to the wide line a few laps later saw him slip back and he ran from sixth to 10th the remainder of the way before crossing under the checkers 10th. Chiaramonte made two more appearances in Streeter cars last year placing seventh at Ventura on May 21st and 10th at Merced on June 18th. After the show at Bakersfield, Chiaramonte and Streeter will head north for two nights of racing this Friday and Saturday in the Hangtown 100 at the Placerville Speedway. After that, the team will be back in action next Tuesday and Wednesday, November 21st and 22nd, at the Merced Speedway. The season will wrap up with the 82nd running of the Turkey Night Grand Prix at Jim Naylor's Ventura Raceway on November 25th. Young Chiaramonte comes into the California swing after another impressive showing in a 410 sprint car at the Western World Championships at Arizona's Cocopah Speedway. It was not only Chiaramonte's second and third appearances in a 410 but it was the first time he had ever raced at Cocopah. Three weeks earlier he shocked the 410 world by qualifying third fastest and finishing fourth at Mohave. The trip to Cocopah proved to be even more impressive as it was against a larger and tougher field that included several National drivers. Opening night of the Western World Championships saw Chiaramonte qualify 16th of the 33 cars on hand with a lap of 17.151. By the time he came onto the track for his 10-lap heat, the track was pretty much gone and had turned into a tire-eating monster. The teen initially steered the immaculate #73B into second and ended up placing fourth. That earned him a direct ticket into the A main event. When Chiaramonte returned to the pits after the heat, there was oil everywhere on the car. As the crew poured over the engine to find out where the oil was coming from, they found that a bolt for the valve cover had stripped out. Unfortunately, the team did not have a helicoil to make the repairs and they were done for the night. Saturday, with repairs made and with vastly improved track conditions, Chiaramonte cut .407 off of his qualifying time and ended up seventh fastest of the 28 sprint cars on hand. He again earned a direct ticket to the main event by placing fourth in his heat. For the main, Chiaramonte started seventh. Early on, the youthful driver slipped back a few spots before he began steering his white and bright orange sprint car forward. Around the halfway point he was seventh. Soon thereafter he moved up to fifth and stayed there for the duration giving him two top five finishes in the first two 410 sprint car starts in his career. Spectator gates at Bakersfield will open at 4:00 p.m. with racing at 6:00. Adult tickets are $20.00. Seniors 65 and over and military with proper ID get in for $18.00. Kids 6-12 are $10.00 and children 5 and under are free. Parking is free. The track is located at 5001 North Chester Ext. Ave., Bakersfield (93308). The track website is http://www.bakersfieldspeedway.com/ and the office phone number is (661) 393-3373. Gates will open each day at 3:00 p.m. with racing at 6:00 at Placerville.

The track is located at 100 Placerville Drive, Placerville, California. The office phone number is (530) 344-7592. Chiaramonte would like to thank all his sponsors who have made his racing efforts possible. RTL Traffic Control, AM Ortega, Hyper Racing, Chop Design, Adams Motors, Hacienda Casa Blanca Fine Mexican Dining, Evil Plus Injection, King Racing Products, Tiner-Hirst Enterprises, and Keizer Wheels.

  SHANE SEXTON FINISHES THE USAC/CRA PORTION OF HIS 2023 SCHEDULE THIS SATURDAY AT PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY

  (Warner Springs, CA, November 9, 2023) "Shugah" Shane Sexton will close the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series portion of his 2023 racing schedule this Saturday, November 11th. It will be his third race of the year at the famous Riverside County half-mile clay oval. Sexton comes into the final 410 West Coast race of 2023 after a disappointing weekend at last week's Western World Championships at the Cocopah Speedway. On a less-than-driver-friendly track surface on Friday night, the friendly driver qualified 31st at 18.436. Issues forced him out before the green flag in his heat race and sent him to the 12-lap B. He started the B in 14th and moved up a pair of spots to place 12th. Unfortunately, that was the end of his night. Sexton and the GAS Chassis #74 returned to Cocopah, which is located minutes from the USA/Mexico border, 24 hours later. The tough track conditions that prevailed throughout Friday were considerably better on night two. Sexton took advantage and clipped more than a half second off his previous night's qualifying effort with a 17.758. That was 27th fastest. A sixth place result in his heat once again sent the talkative racer to the B main where he started 11th. He moved forward and finished ninth. Once again, that brought a premature end to his night Soon afterward, the team found an issue that had plagued the car all weekend. "Honestly, we figured it out after some investigation," Sexton said. "We found out our shocks were valved incorrectly. I was doing wing adjustments with the shocks on a non-wing car. So, I was loosening myself up when I went to tighten myself up with the knobs. The car just could not find grip at all." "Fortunately we dropped them (the shocks) off with Deejay Dumas in San Diego. He rebuilt them for me. We are going to pick them up, slap them on the car tonight, and go kick some butt at Perris Auto Speedway tomorrow." Perris is where Sexton has done most of his full-size sprint car racing after beginning his career in mini dwarfs and lightning sprints. He enjoys competing there. "I like it just because we go there so often," he said. "I definitely feel the most comfortable there because I have so many notes there. It just kind of feels like home when we get to race there. It is USAC/CRA's home track." After Saturday, Sexton has one race left on his 2023 schedule. The 82nd running of the Turkey Night Grand Prix at the Ventura Raceway. It will be his first appearance on one of the USA's most picturesque racetracks and to say the least, he is excited. "It is pretty crazy to think about," Sexton enthused. "My goal there is to make the main, keep my nose clean and try to march forward. We are borrowing a motor from either Everhart (Tony Everhart) or my motor guy Mike Pridgeon. We are kind of up in the air about it right now and we are bouncing phone calls around to see what we are going to do." "I have done relatively well at Ventura and I have flipped there as well," he laughed. "It has all been in a lightning sprint. I have never raced a sprint car (360 or 410) there." All active military members with proper ID will get into Saturday night's race at Perris for just $5.00. In addition, they will receive one free pass for an accompanying guest. Adult tickets for Saturday's race are $30.00. Seniors 65 and over get in for $25.00. For kids 6-12 it is only $5.00 and children 5 and under are free. The fairgrounds charge $10.00 for parking. Perris Auto Speedway is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds at 18700 Lake Perris Drive in the City of Perris. The track website is http://www.perrisautospeedway.com/ and the office phone number is (951) 940-0134. Sexton and the #74 team wish to extend their thanks to the following 2023 racing season partners. Gas Chassis, Key Brothers Racing, Elite Powder Coating, Bill's Jerky, Hot Dog Kustoms, Savage Racing, AG Sandcars, and Ron's Tire and Brake.

  GRANT AND BRENT SEXTON RETURN TO ACTION IN PERRIS SEASON FINALE THIS SATURDAY

  (Lakeside, CA, November 8, 2023) After a weekend off from its late-season grueling schedule, Sexton Gatlin Racing drivers Brent and Grant Sexton return to the dirt track wars at Perris Auto Speedway this Saturday. Grant will be finishing up his award-winning rookie season in the USAC/CRA Series and Brent will be trying to snare points in his pursuit of a second straight POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car championship. Spectator gates at the premiere dirt track in the west will open at 5:00 p.m. with racing at 7:00. Grant, who at 19 is the youngest driver on the Sexton Gatlin roster, will put the bow on his USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year award season on Saturday. Last week at Cocopah, the teen raced in both the USAC/CRA portion of the show on Friday and Saturday and the ASCS 360 part of the affair on Friday. In Friday's USAC/CRA side of the Western World Championships, Sexton finished sixth in his heat and earned a transfer spot into the A main by placing seventh in the B. The 2021 POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car champion then started 20th in the 30-lap A main. Unfortunately, the abrasive, tire-eating surface was taking its toll. One of the victims was Sexton who dropped out halfway through and finished 22nd. Preceding the USAC/CRA main event, Grant also drove in the ASCS 360 portion of the doubleheader program. The teen did a great job on that side of the show. He started third in his heat race and when the pole sitter took the number two starter wide coming to the green flag, Sexton alertly dove to the inside and flew by both. From then on he was never headed and led every lap for the victory. In the 25-lap ASCS main event, the teenage racer started fourth and ended up in seventh. A few minutes later he ran the USAC/CRA main. At that point, seeing track conditions and the way they were devouring tires, the SGR team made the decision to park the 360 for the second night and save it for the Turkey Night Grand Prix on Thanksgiving weekend at the Ventura Raceway. On the second night in the USAC/CRA show, Sexton finished fifth in his heat and third in the B main. That sent him to the A-main. With better track conditions, he began the 30-lapper in 21st and advanced six spots to place 15th. Heading into this week's USAC/CRA finale at Perris, Sexton has the Rookie of the Year award locked up. He is also locked into the eighth-place spot in the championship standings. While Grant's award and positions are locked in with USAC/CRA, things are different for his father Brent. The defending SWLS champion goes into Saturday's competition 49 points out of first. In addition to Saturday, the SWLS has a race left on Tuesday, November 14th at the Bakersfield Speedway. If Brent can garner enough points between the two races and take the title, it will give him four lightning sprint championships. This year and last season with the SWLS. The first two were in the California Lightning Sprint Car Series in 1999 and 2008. All active military members with proper ID will get into Saturday night's race at Perris for just $5.00. In addition, they will receive one free pass for an accompanying guest. Adult tickets for Saturday's race are $30.00. Seniors 65 and over get in for $25.00. For kids 6-12 it is only $5.00 and children 5 and under are free. The fairgrounds charge $10.00 for parking.

  BRODY ROA HEADS TO PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY ON SATURDAY AS THE 2023 USAC/CRA CHAMPION

  (Cypress, CA, November 8, 2023) When Brody Roa arrives at Perris Auto Speedway with his Inland Rigging #17R sprint car this Saturday night, it will be the third time he has been there as a USAC champion. However, it will be the first time he gets to Southern California's premiere racetrack as the USAC/CRA champ. The Garden Grove, California racer sewed up the title in last week's Western World Championship at the Cocopah Speedway. Roa has had a dominating season in the West Coast series. He won the first two races at Cocopah in January and has led the championship point standings the entire season. Along the way, he won eight of the first 16 series races. The USAC/CRA season culminates at Perris on Saturday. It will be the 17th race on the 2023 schedule and Roa is seeking another victory to send his batting average above .500 in the series. "We ran good all year long," the 2024 USAC/CRA Series champion said. "In all honesty, I felt at the last few races we were not on the same level. Especially at Cocopah. We kind of did what we needed to do to keep the championship from coming down to Perris. We did not want to get to the last race worrying about points and worrying about what we had to do." "We are going to try to end the year the way we started it. We are going to show up like we did all year, with the best car we can, prep it as best we can, and make the best decisions we can. Now that we have the war won, we want to end up on top at the last race." Things had been going smoothly all season for Roa in the USAC/CRA Series. In addition to his eight wins (he scored a ninth win at an open comp race at Imperial Valley three weeks ago), he had three second-place finishes and a fifth in the first 14 races of the year. He only placed out of the top five twice. One of those was a sixth at Mohave Valley four weeks ago. The only USAC/CRA race he did not finish on the lead lap this year came at the Salute to Indy at Perris in May when he got clobbered by a lapped car late in the race while he leading. Things looked good for Roa heading into the two nights of action last week at Cocopah. After all, he posted a pair of wins there to kick off the year in January. However, things just did not go as well as planned. The weekend started good when he recorded the third fastest qualifying time and then placed third in his heat on Friday. It was going well in the main before disaster struck when his right rear tire went down eight laps from the finish. "We were up to fifth and I was still driving extremely conservative," the wily veteran said. "I was ticked off when I popped that tire. I knew from the drop of the green that I had to save that thing (right rear tire) to the end. I got to fifth, and it popped with eight to go. I was a little upset. I was wondering how the other drivers are saving tires. I am driving it in as straight as possible with no wheel spin and just trying to get around the track." "The tire actually delaminated. It actually started shaking eight or 10 laps before it blew. I just thought it was the rubber chattering the tire like it does. But when we got back into the pits and looked at it, there were three blocks on the inside and three blocks on the outside. The center was just torn off. That was a bummer because we were having kind of a decent run on a not-so-great track." Twenty-four hours later the team was hoping for better results but it was just one of those weekends. "Second night was a little challenging," Roa lamented. "We pulled a really late pill and did not qualify that good. I guess I was a little too aggressive with the line I was trying to qualify on. That kind of set us back and we started really deep. I picked off six cars right off the bat and got to 12th but by the time I got there, I could not even see the next car." "It was pretty treacherous on the top where I was running. I think about half the cars were on the top and half were on the bottom. I like running on the top rather than putting around on the bottom. With the big curb and as close to the wall as it was, I probably babied it around the cushion more than I should have." Roa's first two USAC sprint car championships came in 2016 and 2019. In 2016 he won the USAC West Coast Sprint Car title. Three years later in 2019, he earned the crown in the now-defunct USAC Southwest Series. This year's CRA title exceeds both of those in his eyes. "I think obviously at the top," Roa confirmed when asked if this year was the biggest of the three championships. "We have tried for this one for a long time and it is cool to finely get it done. I do not think it has set in yet. It is definitely cool and exciting to get it after trying for so long." Roa was to be joined at Cocopah by his teammate and car owner Tommy Dunkel who was going to wheel his #17A sprint car in the ASCS 360 portion of the show. However, an axle problem on his trailer forced Dunkel to abort his trip to the Southwestern Arizona track. This Saturday, Dunkel will be racing with Roa in the USAC/CRA show at Perris. It will be his first time racing a powerful 410 sprint car. "I am stoked for Tommy to make his 410 debut," Roa affirmed. "He gave us so much to get this championship this year. I am glad we could get it done a race early so we can get him in the second car on Saturday. It is super cool for him to give a 410 a shot. I think he is in for quite a surprise. They are totally different animals. He will be good and hopefully have a good time doing it." After Saturday's race, the Inland Rigging drivers will be off before participating in the 82nd Annual Turkey Night Grand Prix at the Ventura Raceway on Thanksgiving weekend. All active military members with proper ID will get into Saturday night's race at Perris for just $5.00. In addition, they will receive one free pass for an accompanying guest. Adult tickets for Saturday's race are $30.00. Seniors 65 and over get in for $25.00. For kids 6-12 it is only $5.00 and children 5 and under are free. The fairgrounds charge $10.00 for parking.

  SETH AND JEFF DYER WILL BOTH BE IN ACTION AT PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY THIS SATURDAY

  (Yucca Valley, CA, November 7, 2023) Two weeks after Cinderella's carriage turned into a pumpkin for Dyer Motorsports at the Ventura Raceway, team drivers Jeff and Seth Dyer will both be in action when Perris Auto Speedway closes its 27th season of racing this Saturday night, November 11th. Spectator gates will open at 5:00 p.m. and racing will begin at 7:00. The team will be taking both of its lightning sprint cars to Saturday's race along with its #39 full-size sprint car. Each of the team drivers will be competing in the POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car portion of the program. Twenty-four hours before Saturday's race, Jeff, a California Highway Patrol Officer, will be testing the #39 410 sprint car at The PAS. It will be his first time back in the substantially heavier racing machine since July 15th. He has been out of the car due to suffering a torn Achilles tendon in August. If the test goes well, he will race the car in the USAC/CRA portion of the program. If there is discomfort, the team will throw restrictors in the engine and Seth will make his second appearance in the PAS Young Gun Series. Dyer Motorsports started October off with a bang when Jeff destroyed the lightning sprint car competition to win his first race back after surgery at the Mohave Valley Raceway on October 14th. One week later at the Imperial Valley Raceway, Jeff finished third in the SWLS Friday night main event. Twenty-four hours later he finished sixth but for the second time in a week, a DMS car won the main event when Seth drove a perfect race. He led every lap and scored a runaway win for the first victory in his career. After two successful weeks, things took a turn in the wrong direction at the California Lightning Sprint Car Series race at Ventura on October 28th. The night started off bright enough when Jeff turned in his series-leading fifth fast qualifying time of the season. He backed that up with a third-place finish in his heat. An engine issue forced Seth to miss qualifying. The same concern compelled the team to make the decision to have him start the main event and immediately pull out so he could collect start points and not damage the powerplant. That would almost guarantee him finishing last in the main, right? Wrong! One driver did finish behind him. Unfortunately, that was his dad. The original start of the main event was called back as one of the front-row starters took off too early. Before the restart, Jeff coasted to a stop on the front straightaway. His front sprocket had come off and he was done for the night. Moments later after the race restarted, Seth did as planned, and coasted into the pits as the next car out. There is a lot at stake in Saturday's race as Jeff comes into the night with a 49-point lead in the SWLS championship standings. Seth is two spots back in third. In their other 2023 appearance with the POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprints at The PAS this year on May 27th, Jeff won the main event and Seth ended up third. In honor of Veteran's Day, all active military members who show a valid ID at the ticket window on Saturday will get a ticket for $5.00 and a pass for one accompanying guest at the time of purchase. Adult tickets for Saturday's race are $30.00. Seniors 65 and over get in for $25.00. For kids 6-12 it is only $5.00 and children 5 and under are free. The fairgrounds charge $10.00 for parking. Perris Auto Speedway is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds at 18700 Lake Perris Drive in the City of Perris. The track website is http://www.perrisautospeedway.com/ and the office phone number is (951) 940-0134. After Saturday's race at Perris, the Dyers will get right back in action when the SWLS and CLS clash in a co-sanctioned race at the Bakersfield Speedway next Tuesday night. Are you looking into getting into lightning sprint car racing? If you answered yes, contact Jeff Dyer. He has two top-of-the-line lightning cars for sale. He can be contacted using the phone number or email address at the top of this release. As pictured, the Dyer Motorsports team shirts are now available. You can pick one up in the pits after the races or you can order via email at mailto:dyermotorsports4@gmail.com Jeff is racing in memory of his grandparents, Glenn, and Beverly Sels, throughout the 2023 season. Jeff would like to thank the following for making the 2023 racing campaign possible in the #4 and 4Jr Lightning Sprint Cars. Dependable Machine Inc., Haircuts By Susie, Jobu Racing, LBA Investigations, and Dyer Motorsports. For the USAC/CRA #39 sprint car, Straight Time Stirrups, Dependable Machines Inc., Hair Cuts By Susie, Jobu Racing, Justice Brothers, Fonseca Racing, and Specialty Fasteners helped put him on the track.

  ALL ROADS LEAD TO BAKERSFIELD: USAC MIDGET WEST COAST SWING BEGINS NOV. 14

  All roads lead to California’s Bakersfield Speedway! For one, it’s the start of the USAC NOS Energy Drink Midget National Championship’s annual voyage to the west coast on Tuesday night, November 14, the first of six races in a 12-day span in the Golden State to close out the 2023 season.

  INLAND RIGGING DRIVERS ROA AND DUNKEL OFFER DOUBLE TROUBLE FOR WESTERN WORLD COMPETITORS

  (Cypress, CA, November 2, 2023) Much to the chagrin of the competition, the Inland Rigging Racing Team is sending three cars to this weekend's Western World Championships at Arizona's Cocopah Speedway. Two 410 sprint cars will be at the disposal of USAC/CRA point leader Brody Roa. In addition to the 410s, the team is bringing a 360 for Roa's teammate Tommy Dunkel to contest the ASCS portion of the show. Both of the drivers will be competing each night on the lightning-quick Arizona oval. Roa, who is in the midst of a dream season where he has won more than 50% (winning 8 of the first 15 races) of the USAC/CRA races, comes into the weekend with a commanding 127-point lead with only three races remaining in the 2023 campaign. After this weekend's programs, the series will wrap up next Saturday, November 11th, at Perris Auto Speedway. A good performance at Cocopah will literally wrap up Roa's second 410 sprint car championship. In 2019 he finished on top of the heap in the now defunct USAC Southwest Series standings. That was an 18-race series that saw all but five of the races staged in the "Grand Canyon State." For the second year in a row, Cocopah Speedway was the launch pad for the USAC/CRA Sprint Car season. On the last weekend in January, the stars of the series descended on the Southwest Arizona track. In his first two appearances driving for Tommy and Christy Dunkel's Inland Rigging team, Garden Grove, California star Roa won both main events. That catapulted him into a lead that he has not relinquished for the past nine months. Before the main event at this year's Cocopah season opener, Roa qualified third fastest and placed fourth in his heat before capturing the main event. Twenty-four hours later, he was the eighth fastest qualifier and won his heat race before dramatically taking the lead on the next to last lap for his second win of the weekend. Roa made five starts at Cocopah in 2022. The first three came in January when he placed fourth, fifth, and sixth in three nights of racing. On his second trip to the track near Yuma for the 2022 Western World, things did not go as well as planned for the "Pride of Garden Grove" when he placed 15th in each main event. For Dunkel, who has excelled in his first full sprint car season, it will be his first time racing at Cocopah and his initial outing with the American Sprint Car Series. The friendly driver has contested a majority of his races this season in a 360. His three best outings came at the Ventura Raceway where he won the main event on April 8th. He then posted second-place finishes on the same beachside oval on July 8th and August 2nd. When the series heads back to Cocopah in 2024, Dunkel will be in a 410 and running for the USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year award. Thus far in 2023, the Menifee, California businessman has started three USAC/CRA races. He finished 14th and 11th in the first two. His best finish was an eighth at Perris Auto Speedway on July 15th. He can start one more main event in the series this season and still be eligible for next year's Rookie of the Year award. That will probably happen next week at the series finale at Perris Auto Speedway. If you would like to see the Inland Rigging drivers and their immaculate sprint cars in action at this Friday and Saturday's Western World Championships in person, gates at the Cocopah Speedway will open at 4:00 p.m. with racing at 6:00. Reserved seats are $35.00 and general admission is $25.00. Students 13-17 are $15.00. Kids 12 and under get in for free. The track is located at 3450 W County 15th Streets in Somerton, Arizona (85360). The track website is racecocopahspeedway.com and the office phone number is (602) 292-7607. For those who cannot make it to the Arizona speed plant, the race will be shown live on Speed Sport TV. Ordering or more information is available at https://speedsport.tv/videos/30446. After next week's race at Perris, the Inland Rigging drivers will conclude their 2023 season in the sprint car portion of the 82nd Annual Turkey Night Grand Prix at Jim Naylor's Ventura Raceway on November 24th and 25th. The team wants to thank the following sponsors for making the 2023 season possible.

  BRADEN CHIARAMONTE IS HEADED TO COCOPAH FOR THE WESTERN WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS

  (El Cajon, CA, November 1, 2023) Arizona sprint car fans are in for a treat this Friday and Saturday with the announcement that talented teenager Braden Chiaramonte is headed to the USAC/CRA Western World Championships at the Cocopah Speedway. The two-night affair will be the 16-year-old's first appearance at the track that is located about 12 miles north of the USA/Mexico border and only his second time driving a 410 sprint car. Three weeks ago, Chiaramonte shocked racing fans with a dazzling performance at the USAC/CRA race at Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway. It was his first night competing in a 410 sprint car. 410 sprint cars are considered to be the toughest cars to drive in all of sprint car racing. Taking to them like a duck takes to water, Chiaramonte was the fastest car in hot laps at Mohave. He really made the fans sit up and take notice when he posted the third-fastest qualifying time of the 26 cars on hand at the 1/3 mile banked clay oval. When it was time for the heat races, Chiaramonte battled hard but ended up finishing sixth. That meant he had to contest the B main. Without a provisional at his disposal, he had to finish in the top 12 to get into the A main event or he was done for the night. He easily did that when he placed fourth. In what turned out to be a great gift for the fans, the youngster had to start ninth in the 30-lapper. From there he thrilled the big crowd with an impressive run towards the front. Running on the edge at the top, he passed some of the West Coast's top stars and the roar from the crowd when he momentarily went by the leader drowned out the noise of the engines. Unfortunately, seconds after he took the lead, a yellow flag came out and the field reverted back to the last completed lap and Chiaramonte had to go back to second. A slip-up on the last lap saw him finish fourth but his charge to the front is what will be remembered by the appreciative crowd. This weekend's races will be Chiaramonte's fifth and sixth in Arizona in 2023. He made three visits to the Adobe Mountain Speedway in his 600cc outlaw micro in April. He won two of the three and finished sixth in the other. In July, he visited the Deuce of Clubs Thunder Raceway for the first time to contest a 360 wingless sprint car race. The high altitude track proved to be a challenge for the crew getting the engine tuned correctly. Starting fifth in the main, the talented driver set his sights on the front of the pack. He drove by the fourth-place car and was in the process of moving up to third when he slapped the wall with his right rear. The slam bent the Jacob's ladder and flattened the right rear tire. Despite those handicaps, he stayed on the track and was fifth when the damage finally forced him out six laps later. In addition to his sojourns to Arizona this year, he performed at a pair of races at Adobe Mountain in 2022. Included was a second-place finish at the Billy Shuman Tribute on November 11th. Chiaramonte, who lives in El Cajon, California, will be making his 34th and 35th starts of the season at this weekend's races in the "Grand Canyon State." His prior 33 appearances this year have come on 17 different tracks in six different states and in seven different types of race cars. The personable young driver's latest showing came two weeks ago at the prestigious 5th Annual Keith Kunz Giveback Classic at Oklahoma's Port City Raceway. 105 cars jammed the pit area of the popular track for the influential race. On his qualifying night, Chiaramonte finished sixth in the A main. At the finale 48 hours later, he was challenging for second in the B main when he was pinched into an infield tire and had to restart at the back. With limited laps remaining, he dazzled the fans by charging all the way back to ninth and only missing the final transfer to the A main by a half car length at the checkered flag. After this week's races at Cocopah, Chiaramonte is expected to be at Perris Auto Speedway for the USAC/CRA season finale on November 11th. Beginning on November 14th, he will race the final seven USAC National Midget races of the year in one of Matt Streeter's powerful cars. He will conclude his 2023 campaign in the 38th Annual Tulsa Shootout at the famous SageNet Center from December 26th through the 31st. For fans who want to see this Friday and Saturday's Western World Championships in person, gates at the Cocopah Speedway will open at 4:00 p.m. with racing at 6:00. Reserved seats are $35.00 and general admission is $25.00. Students 13-17 are $15.00. Kids 12 and under get in for free. The track is located at 3450 W County 15th Streets in Somerton, Arizona (85360). The track website is racecocopahspeedway.com and the office phone number is (602) 292-7607. For those who cannot make it to the Arizona speed plant, the race will be shown live on Speed Sport TV. Ordering or more information is available at https://speedsport.tv/videos/30446. Chiaramonte would like to thank all his sponsors who have made his racing efforts possible. RTL Traffic Control, AM Ortega, Hyper Racing, Chop Design, Adams Motors, Hacienda Casa Blanca Fine Mexican Dining, Evil Plus Injection, King Racing Products, Tiner-Hirst Enterprises, and Keizer Wheels.

  USAC/CRA LEADING ROOKIE HEADING TO ARIZONA FOR THIS WEEK'S WESTERN WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS

  (Lakeside, CA, October 31, 2023) After a weekend away from the track, Sexton Gatlin Racing's season will hit the top of the homestretch this Friday and Saturday when Grant Sexton contests the Western World Championship at the Cocopah Speedway. The 19-year-old goes into the weekend with a commanding lead in the USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year chase with just three races to go in 2023. Sexton opened the 2023 campaign at Cocopah on the last weekend in January. It ended up being an inauspicious start to the year. At the Friday opener, a car flipped down the front straightaway and nearly landed on top of Sexton's beautiful #22. With that disaster averted, he came out for the main event. However, when he hit the throttle, the engine did not respond the way he liked, he wisely pulled off the track before the race started. The next evening, things actually got worse. The team scrambled to get his backup 360 ready for the night of action. Even though he was down on horsepower to the 410s in the field, Sexton was ready to rumble. Unfortunately, disaster struck in his heat race. The car directly in front of him spun leaving him nowhere to go. The teen clobbered the spinning car. The thunderous blow broke Sexton's front axle and ripped out the rear end of his backup car. That signaled the end of a very frustrating weekend. The Lakeside, California based driver comes into this weekend after competing all season in USAC/CRA, the toughest traditional sprint car series west of the Mississippi. Since those two races in January, Sexton has been a totally different driver and has amassed four top-10 finishes including a season-best fifth at Bakersfield on June 24th. Those results have seen him rise to eighth in the season long championship standings. Coming into the weekend he has a massive 341-point lead in the Rookie of the Year chase. Sexton's last race was two weeks ago when he contested the final Southern California Open Competition Sprint Car race of the year at the Imperial Valley Raceway. On that night, he was the fifth-fastest qualifier and placed fourth in his heat. In the 20-lap main event, he started seventh and finished fifth. The prior night was just practice and a six-lap dash for the six fastest drivers. Sexton qualified for that brief race and ended up fourth at the checkered. For fans who want to see this Friday and Saturday's Western World Championships in person, gates at the Cocopah Speedway will open at 4:00 p.m. with racing at 6:00. Reserved seats are $35.00 and general admission is $25.00. Students 13-17 are $15.00. Kids 12 and under get in for free. The track is located at 3450 W County 15th Streets in Somerton, Arizona (85360). The track website is racecocopahspeedway.com and the office phone number is (602) 292-7607.

  BRENT SEXTON FINISHES THIRD AND GRANT SEXTON PLACES FIFTH AT THE IMPERIAL VALLEY RACEWAY

  (Lakeside, CA, October 27, 2023) Twenty-four hours after Brent Sexton won the POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car main event at the Imperial Valley Raceway, the defending series champion raced to a third-place finish on the same fairgrounds-based oval. In addition to Brent, his youngest son Grant placed fifth in the Southern California Open Competition Sprint Car main event. Brent, a 50-year-old Tennessee native, parlayed his weekend finishes into a bonafide chance of winning his fourth overall lightning sprint car title. His first two championships came in the California Lightning Sprint Car Series in 1999 and 2008. Last year he won his third title when he replaced 2021 SWLS title holder Grant. If he succeeds in taking the honor this season, it will give Lakeside, California-based Sexton Gatlin Racing the championships in the first three years of the POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series. Saturday at Imperial, the wily veteran driver started the main on the inside of row two in third. On a track that was one lane on the bottom by main event time, he was initially in fourth place. On the sixth lap, he moved up to third and stayed there for the duration. In eight SWLS starts this year, Brent has only finished out of the top four once. That was a sixth place at Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway on October 14th. In the other seven starts, he has two wins, three second-place finishes, a third, and a fourth. Nineteen-year-old Grant, who is going to be crowned USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year at the club's annual banquet after the new year, finished in the top five all night long in the So Cal Open Comp Sprints. To start the last night of racing at Imperial in 2023, he was the fifth-fastest qualifier. Not long thereafter, he started third and finished fourth in his heat. In the 20-lap main where passing was at a premium, he started in seventh and moved up two spots to finish fifth. This week, Grant heads to Friday and Saturday's Western World Championships at Arizona's Cocopah Speedway. Brent gets next week off but will continue his pursuit of the SWLS champion's crown at Perris Auto Speedway on November 11th. Going into that race, he is only 49 points out of first.

  TANGLE WITH INFIELD TIRE KNOCKS BRADEN CHIARAMONTE OUT OF KEITH KUNZ GIVEBACK CLASSIC IN OKLAHOMA

  (El Cajon, CA, October 26, 2023) An unfortunate tangle with an infield tire at Oklahoma's Port City Raceway kept Braden Chiaramonte out of the 5th Annual Keith Kunz Giveback Classic finale. The 16-year-old driver came from the back of the pack to finish ninth in one of the Saturday night B mains. That was one spot shy of qualifying for the 67-lap final. Coming off a very impressive fourth-place finish the first time piloting a 410 sprint car at Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway the week before, Chiaramonte was one of 105 600cc Outlaw Micro Sprints at the annual race in the "Sooner State." The personable driver competed against 49 other cars in the Thursday, October 19th preliminary. Coming out very late in the qualifying order, Chiaramonte stopped the clocks in 9.981. That was sixth fastest on the night and it was only a blink of an eye slower than the fast time of 9.825. After qualifying, Chiaramonte, who lives in El Cajon, California, finished fourth in his eight-lap heat race. That put him on the inside of the second row in his 10-lap qualifier. Battling on both the high and low sides of the racy track in the qualifier, he finished in fourth and earned a ticket into the night's 30-lap A Main event. Chiaramonte lined up in the 12th starting spot in the first-night main. The top three finishers would be guaranteed a spot in Saturday's finale. Through the first 20 laps of the main, the handsome driver and his #73B car were amidst a hornet's nest of cars fighting for position in the middle of the pack. When the race was two-thirds over, Chiaramonte had only advanced forward two positions to 10th. However, late in the race he began to move forward in a hurry. He quickly raced into the sixth-place spot. The determined teen was working on the fifth-place driver when the checkered flag ended the race with him three spots shy of the transfer. However, the finish guaranteed him a good starting spot in one of Saturday's B mains. The Saturday B main was 15 laps. Sixteen cars started the race and the top eight finishers went into the main event. Chiaramonte started on the inside of the third row in fifth. So, his chances of qualifying looked good. Before the end of the first lap in the B, Chiaramonte was up to third. He had been running the high line but when the second-place car drifted wide in turn four on lap two and pushed the third-place car wide as well, Chiaramonte wisely dove to the bottom coming off turn four and headed towards second-place. However, when the same car dove from the top to the bottom in turn one, it pinched Chiaramonte down and into an infield tire. Chiaramonte slid to a stop necessitating a yellow flag. Deemed the cause of the yellow he had to restart at the back. A red flag with nine laps to go still saw Chiaramonte in 16th but the show was about to begin. After racing resumed, he began to charge forward. A red flag with six laps remaining saw him up to 13th. He was 10th with three to go. Fearlessly pounding the cushion, Chiaramonte was clearly one of - if not the - fastest drivers on the track at that time. He attempted to pass the eighth-place car at the finish line but ended up a half car length short. In all probability, without the tangle with the infield tire and the restart at the back due to it, Chiaramonte would have easily qualified for the main event. "Not the weekend we wanted," Chiaramonte told his fans on Facebook. "Started out qualifying sixth after going out third from last. Finished fourth in the heat race and finished third in the qualifier. Started 12th in the main and finished sixth. Then started fourth in the B main on Saturday. Was running third and got chopped down, had no room, and hit the infield tire. Went back to last and came back up to 10th and had a big run on the guy in ninth. Thought he was going to go to the top but he went to the bottom which caused me to hit him and take him out. Overall it was a tough weekend but ready for the next one." Chiaramonte would like to thank all his sponsors who have made his racing efforts possible. RTL Traffic Control, AM Ortega, Hyper Racing, Chop Design, Adams Motors, Hacienda Casa Blanca Fine Mexican Dining, Evil Plus Injection, King Racing Products, Tiner-Hirst Enterprises, and Keizer Wheels.

  MARK HENRY RECORDS HIS BEST 410 SPRINT CAR MAIN EVENT FINISH AT THE IMPERIAL VALLEY RACEWAY

  (Rosamond, CA, October 26, 2023) Budding sprint car driver Mark Henry scored his best 410 finish yet when he steered his #39R GAS Chassis to an 11th-place finish last Saturday in the Southern California Open Competition Sprint Car main event at the Imperial Valley Raceway. The result came in only his fourth 410 race and it came on the same track that he drove a lightning sprint to a second-place finish one year ago. Friday was practice night. It included a $1,000.00 to-win Fast Car Dash that was dangled in front of the drivers. Being only his fourth time in a 410, Henry caught the eyes of many when he recorded the eighth fastest time of the 13 cars on hand. He only missed qualifying for the dash by two positions. A night after the confidence-building practice, Henry and the other 15 entries got around to the business portion of the weekend. The Saturday program included qualifying, heat races, and a 20-lap main event for all the drivers on hand. Henry, a Rosamond, California-based racer, timed in with the 13th fastest lap in qualifying. That placed him in the first 8-lap heat race where he started in the eighth position on the brilliantly lit oval. A turn-three tangle in the brief race sent him to the back of the pack for the restart. He advanced up to sixth by the time the checkered flag came down. Contesting only his fourth night in a powerful 410, Henry began the main in 11th. Being that it was only a 20-lapper on a small track meant things had to get done in a hurry. The past NHRA Junior Drag Racer did a majority of his prior racing driving in straight lines. However, he is adapting well to oval racing. That was evident in the main event. Just past the halfway point, he had motored his way up to fifth. His run was impressive but a tangle with a stopped car altered the progress. Unfortunately, that sent him to the back for the restart. After the restart, Henry got tangled with one of racing's most controversial topics. Infield tractor tires! As always happens, the tire won the battle and Henry was done for the night. He ended up finishing in the same 11th spot that he started. That was four positions better than his previous best 15th place finish on the Bakersfield Speedway in June. The personable driver gets two weeks off before returning to action for the 2023 USAC/CRA finale at Perris Auto Speedway on November 11th. With only that series race remaining on his schedule, it assures him the opportunity to chase the Rookie of the Year award in 2024. Henry is a breath of fresh air in sprint car racing. His knowledge and enthusiasm bode well for his progress in the sport. His only sponsor at this time is GAS Chassis.

  BRODY ROA DRIVES NEW CAR TO IMPERIAL VALLEY VICTORY FOR HIS NINTH WIN OF 2023

  (Cypress, CA, October 26, 2023) In the continuing saga of what has been the best season in his career, Brody Roa drove a brand new Shaver-powered DRC to a convincing win last Saturday night in the 20-lap Southern California Open Competition Non-Wing Sprint Car main event at the Imperial Valley Raceway. Unfortunately, his Inland Rigging teammate Tommy Dunkel got tangled up with a car doing a 360 in his heat. The result was a flip that brought a premature end to Dunkel's night. The two-night affair at Imperial kicked off on Friday night, October 20th with practice and a special $1,000.00 Dash For Cash. The dash matched the fastest six cars from practice who drew for their starting positions. Roa had the quickest time on Friday. Things looked promising until he pulled a six for the invert in the brief six-car dash. That meant he would start last in the field. The USAC/CRA point leader passed three cars and was running down the first and second-place drivers before the laps ran out and he ended up placing third. The meat of the program was on Saturday night which saw qualifying, heats, and a $4,000.00 to win 20-lap main event. Sixteen cars showed for the final night and Roa, who lives in Garden Grove, California, qualified second quickest. Dunkel, who is completing his first full season of sprint car racing, ended up being the seventh fastest qualifier of the night. After his impressive qualifying time, Dunkel was the first of the Inland Rigging drivers to take to the track for heat race action. The Murrieta, California-based racer started in the fourth position. Things looked good until a car spun in turn three. Dunkel was passing a car that made a sudden movement to avoid the spinner. Being directly behind the car he was trying to pass, Dunkel did not see the spinner, which by that time had stopped. He had no time to react and slammed into the stopped car and flipped. The crash caused heavy damage and ended Dunkel's night. "I felt really good in the car on Saturday and had a lot of speed," the friendly Dunkel said. "I started outside row two in my heat race and unfortunately all weekend, it (the track) was locked down on the bottom. Little or no top, it was just around the tractor tires. Going down the back straight on lap one, we (all the guys who started on the outside) just went straight to the back. I passed a few cars but then missed my mark and damn near slid off the track. Everybody got back by me. Unfortunately, a guy ahead of me spun out. Instead of locking it down and playing it safe for everybody, he tried to keep the car lit and did some brodies down the track. The car ahead of me, who I was trying to pass, missed him. I just had nowhere to go. I ended up hitting him like a freight train and it ended up sending me for a flip. The flip was not too bad but the hit was massive. It destroyed everything from the motor plate back." While Dunkel had no luck, everything went Roa's way on the night. He started on the pole for his heat race and got the lead going into the first corner. That was all she wrote for the competition. On a weekend when it was hard to pass, he just motored away. Roa started in the third spot in the 20-lap finale. Taking the track conditions into consideration, he drove a perfect race for his ninth triumph of the year. "The inside was a big plus for the track conditions," Roa said. "Got up to second in one and two on the start. Had a restart a few laps later and took the lead. Got in front and managed the tires as it was laying rubber down. I just made sure I did not slip up off the bottom. "It is pretty incredible to have nine wins in 19 starts," Roa stated on his first year driving for Tommy and Christy Dunkel. "One DNF, nine wins, and a bunch of second-place finishes. It has been pretty incredible." In addition to Dunkel and Roa, there was a third Inland Rigging car in the pit area on Saturday. Subbing for his son Blake who was nursing an injury, two-time Perris Auto Speedway Modified champion Randy Thornell was contesting the IMCA Modified portion of the program. The longtime veteran ended up with a fourth-place finish in his heat and fifth in the main. The Inland Rigging team will be taking this weekend off at the track, but they will be hard at it preparing for next week's Western World Championship at Arizona's Cocopah Speedway. The following week they will be at Perris Auto Speedway for the final USAC/CRA race of the 2023 campaign.

  FLOWDYNAMICS DRIVERS McCARTHY AND WILLIAMS PLACED 9TH AND 11TH AT MOHAVE VALLEY

  (Ontario, CA, October 21, 2023) Flowdynamics USAC/CRA Sprint Car drivers Matt McCarthy and Logan Williams made their way to Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway and placed 9th and 11th respectively in the 30-lap main event. It was their first and only trip to the track that is located just across the Colorado River in Arizona in 2023. Twenty-five other racers made up the remainder of the stacked 410 sprint car field. Riverside, California resident McCarthy timed in 17th fastest in qualifying with a lap of 14.813. Williams, who calls Yorba Linda, California home, had the 18th best time at 14.829. With 27 cars on hand, only the top four finishers in each heat race would transfer straight to the main event. McCarthy, who was coming off an impressive sixth-place finish at Perris Auto Speedway on September 23rd, was the first up of the teammates in heat race action. He earned his ticket into the main event with a strong second-place run in the second 10-lap heat. Moments later in heat three, Williams duplicated McCarthy's performance when he ran second to go straight into the A main without having to run the 12-lap B. When the main event cars rolled onto the track for the 30-lap finale, the Flowdynamics teammates, who are both past series Rookies of the Year, started the 30-lapper side-by-side in row nine. McCarthy was on the inside of the row in his #28m and Williams, in his familiar #5w was starting on the outside. For the second race in a row, McCarthy made a major move forward and Williams did the same. In the previous race at Perris Auto Speedway on September 23rd, McCarthy advanced his position five spots going from 11th on the start all the way up to sixth. This time he beat that effort picking up nine spots to finish eighth. Williams was not far behind, picking up seven positions for an 11th-place finish. Williams maintained his 11th-place position in the championship point standings. McCarthy jumped up two spots to 14th. Both Flowdynamics drivers will be at Perris for the last race of the track's 27th season on November 11th. They may also compete in next week's Western World Championships at the Cocopah Speedway on November 3rd and 4th. Whenever you get the chance to meet the Flowdynamics drivers in person, be sure to visit them in the pits. They will be glad to sign autographs for you and each will have their 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 for the upcoming season, please contact John McCarthy at 909 930-5522 or mailto:john@flodyinc.com.

  STILL A LOT OF RACES REMAINING FOR "SHUGAH" SHANE SEXTON IN 2023

  (Warner Springs, CA, October 20, 2023) While many open-wheel drivers have put or are about to put their helmets and firesuits away for the year, starting this weekend at the Imperial Valley Raceway, Shane Sexton still has a lot on his plate before he begins his Christmas shopping. In fact, the season will not end for the effervescent driver until the Saturday after Thanksgiving. All told over the final six weeks of his season, the driver affectionately known as "Shugah'" has eight races left in three different types of cars. This Friday and Saturday, October 20th and 21st at Imperial Valley, he will be driving the family-owned, 410 cubic inch GAS Chassis #74 sprint car. On the 28th of this month, he will join forces with Mike Schweitzer to drive his potent #41B California Lightning Sprint Car at Jim Naylor's Ventura Raceway. Sexton will kick off November when he gets back in the family 410 for his final 2023 trip to Arizona for the USAC/CRA Western World championships at Cocopah Speedway. It will be his first trip to the track near Yuma since January of 2022. One week after the Cocopah race, Sexton will head to Perris Auto Speedway on November 11th for the USAC/CRA finale. It will be his fourth race of 2023 at the famous track located 75 miles east of Los Angeles. Three days after the Perris closer, Sexton will be back in Schweitzer's lightning sprint at "The West's Fastest 1/3 Mile High Banked Clay Oval," the Bakersfield Speedway, on Tuesday, November 14th. The busy young driver will wrap up his 2023 racing campaign when he puts a 360 engine in his sprint car for the historical 80th running of the Turkey Night Grand Prix at Jim Naylor's Ventura Raceway on Thanksgiving Weekend. Last week Sexton and crew made the 261-mile trek from his Warner Springs, California home to Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway for the last USAC/CRA race at the track in 2023. After qualifying at 15.256, which was 22nd in the 27-car field, Sexton wheeled his gorgeous racecar onto the track for his 10-lap heat. A ninth-place result sent him to the B main event. The B main was Sexton's last chance to get into the 30-lap finale. The 12-lap, 15-car race would see the top 10 finishers transfer to the A. Sexton battled hard and raced into one of the transfer spots but in the end, he fell one position short and was done for the evening. Sexton's season schedule was shortened due to the injury he suffered in a wild crash at Perris Auto Speedway on April 15th. Last week's Mohave date was only his third USAC/CRA appearance of 2023. Thus, he is currently ranked 44th in points heading into the final three races of the campaign. The Imperial Valley Raceway is located on the Imperial Valley fairgrounds at 200 East 2nd Street in Imperial, California. The ticket prices for this weekend's races are a throwback to the 1970s. Adult tickets are $5.00 on Friday and $10.00 on Saturday. Everyone 16 and under will get in free each night. Sexton and the #74 team wish to extend their thanks to the following 2022 racing season partners. Gas Chassis, Key Brothers Racing, Elite Powder Coating, Bill's Jerky, Hot Dog Kustoms, Savage Racing, AG Sandcars, and Ron's Tire and Brake.

  MARK HENRY RETURNS TO THE IMPERIAL VALLEY RACEWAY WHERE HE RECORDED HIS BEST OPEN-WHEEL FINISH

  (Rosamond, CA, October 20, 2023) First-year 410 sprint car driver Mark Henry of Rosamond, California will return to the site of his best open-wheel finish this Friday and Saturday, October 20th and 21st, at the Imperial Valley Raceway. A year ago tomorrow night, young Henry placed second in the POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series main event on the same track. Since that second-place finish last year, Henry's open-wheel racing plans took a significant turn. Instead of racing a lightning sprint car, he realized a dream and moved to 410 sprint car racing. There were no 305, or 360 races in between his jump into "Big Boy Sprint Cars." After three races in the USAC/CRA Series, the confident driver will get two nights of action this week on the Imperial oval which is located near the USA/Mexico border. While he is competing in a drastically different car than he was in when he notched the second-place finish, it is on the same, well-manicured fairgrounds oval. Last Saturday night, Henry journeyed to Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway. Once again, he displayed good control of the car on the banked 1/3 mile track located minutes from the Colorado River. After qualifying with a lap of 15.914, Henry ended up ninth in his heat race. He ran a competitive B main and only missed the transfer to the 30-lap A main by two spots. This Friday and Saturday at Imperial, Henry will get in some more laps to help hone his skills and get himself prepared for a full season in 2024. Friday's show will include a fast car dash that will reward the winner with a $1,000.00 payday. On Saturday, it will be a full program with heat races, a B main if necessary, and a $4,000.00 to-win main event. By not making the A main at Mohave, Henry can still start two more main events in the USAC/CRA Series this year and be eligible for next season's Rookie of the Year award. Club rules dictate that a driver can start no more than four main events and still be qualified for the prize. The series has three races remaining this year (this week's races are not USAC/CRA races and thus do not count). The first two of the remaining three come up November 3rd and 4th at Arizona's Cocopah Speedway. The last will be at Perris Auto Speedway on November 11th. Despite only contesting three races this year in USAC/CRA, Henry is ranked 43rd of the 57 drivers who have scored points. Thus far he has averaged 24 points per night. Multiply that average by 15 races if he made every race so far this season and he would have 360 points and be 12th in the standings. The Imperial Valley Raceway is located on the Imperial Valley fairgrounds at 200 East 2nd Street in Imperial, California. The ticket prices for this weekend's races are a throwback to the 1970s. Adult tickets are $5.00 on Friday and $10.00 on Saturday. Everyone 16 and under will get in free each night. Henry is a breath of fresh air in sprint car racing. His knowledge and enthusiasm bode well for his progress in the sport. His only sponsor at this time is GAS Chassis. If you would like to be a marketing partner with this new, fan-friendly driver, feel free to call him at (661) 886-9027 or send him an email at mailto:Mark.Henry6698@gmail.com.

  INLAND RIGGING DRIVERS BRODY ROA AND TOM DUNKEL RACE SO CAL NON-WING SHOW AT IMPERIAL THIS WEEKEND

  (Cypress, CA, October 20, 2023) For the first time in over three months, sprint car competitors in California will face double trouble tonight and Saturday when both Inland Rigging drivers, Brody Roa and Tommy Dunkel, will be in action at the Imperial Valley Raceway. Friday's program will include a $1000.00 to win fast car dash. On Saturday, the drivers will be vying for the $4000.00 first-place prize in the main event. Saturday will be the first time the Inland Rigging duo has competed together since July 15th at Perris Auto Speedway. On that night, their gleaming white cars placed first and eighth in the 30-lap main event. Roa scored that win which was his third in a row. For Dunkel, who plans on contesting for the 2024 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year award, the eighth-place finish was his best in the series to date. This weekend's races will be the first at Imperial for the Inland Rigging boys since an appearance on March 11th. Issues that night knocked both of them out of the race early with Dunkel placing 16th and teammate Roa one position behind. Roa was in action last Saturday night when the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series made its final 2023 appearance at the Mohave Valley Raceway. The season-long leader in the series championship standings entered the fray with a 142-point lead over his closest pursuer. He pushed his #17R to the second-fastest time in qualifying with a lap of 14.480. Known as the "Pride of Garden Grove," Roa started sixth and finished fifth in a hard fought heat race. That meant he had to go to the 15-car, 12-lap B main event and finish in the top 10 to transfer to the A. That proved to be no problem for the friendly driver as he posted the victory. That meant he would start eighth in the 30-lapper. Had he not finished in the top 10 in the B, he could have used a provisional and would have started 23rd. Roa got off to a good start in the main and moved up a couple of spots on lap two. However, in a main that was plagued by chaos, he had to go wide in turn four and got up over the top of the track. Fortunately, that track has a wide run-off area on the top. Roa was able to recover without slamming into a wall but he did lose three spots due to the off-road sojourn over the top. Simultaneously, a couple of other cars tangled bringing out a yellow flag. Once the race went green again, Roa got his elbows up. While attempting to move into fifth, contact with the driver he was trying to pass saw them both slide to a stop in turn three. The track crew quickly got Roa's #17R to the work area where crew chief Zac Bozanich and the boys quickly changed a flat left rear tire and sent him back into the battle. As per the rules, the veteran driver had to restart at the back of the pack. The good part of that story is the race still had 20 laps to go. The bad part of the story was chaos was prevalent in the early portion of the race. Roa was going to have to be on his A-game to avoid several of the combatants if he wanted to move forward. A red flew soon after the race restarted due to more bedlam. That gave Roa and the other drivers a chance to catch their breath and allowed the crews to make adjustments to the cars. As would be predictable, Bozanich and the team worked some magic for Roa who was restarting ninth. The race finally put some consecutive laps together after the restart and wily veteran Roa cleverly drove his way forward. In fact, he was all the way back to fourth, but late in the race on the slick track, he slipped off the top in turn three and lost three spots. Roa got back and moved up to sixth and that is where he was at when the race ended. Amazingly, the finish was only the second time in 15 USAC/CRA series races this season that Roa finished out of the top five and only the third time he has finished out of the top two. Between last Saturday's race and tonight's opener at Imperial, the team put the finishing touches on a brand new, gorgeous #17R that Roa is debuting this weekend. In addition to racing at Imperial Valley, Inland Rigging is presenting the first 100 children through the gates with a free Halloween trick-or-treat bag on Saturday. The Imperial Valley Raceway is located on the Imperial Valley fairgrounds at 200 East 2nd Street in Imperial, California. The ticket prices for this weekend's races are a throwback to the 1970s. Adult tickets are $5.00 on Friday and $10.00 on Saturday. Everyone 16 and under will get in free each night. Fans can pick up a 2023 Inland Rigging Racing Team shirt from the crew after the races or online brodyroa.com.

  BRADEN CHIARAMONTE MADE AN INCREDIBLE 410 SPRINT CAR DEBUT LAST WEEK - THIS WEEK IT IS OKLAHOMA FOR KEITH KUNZ GIVEBACK CLASSIC

  (El Cajon, CA, October 18, 2023) When it comes to dirt track racing, 410 non-wing sprint cars strike fear into the hearts of many. They are extremely ferocious and very hard to learn how to drive. Apparently, nobody advised 16-year-old rising star Braden Chiaramonte of those facts. Last Saturday night at Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway, the young driver made his 410 debut, looked like a veteran, and quickly became the crowd favorite. The trip marked Chiaramonte's third time at the Arizona track. Two and a half years ago, the then 13-year-old placed fourth and fifth in a pair of POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series races there. Earlier this year, he appeared at the track in a non-wing 360 sprint car for a USAC/CRA 410 race but engine problems knocked him out before the main event. Competing in one of the toughest non-wing series in the nation, USAC/CRA, no one could have predicted what the affable driver achieved on his first night in a 410. Being the fastest of the 27 cars on hand in hot laps drew some attention. Of course, it was not a big deal because it was only hot laps. However, minutes later in qualifying, he hit the attention button of those on hand with a sledgehammer. He turned in a lap of 14.497. That was the third fastest time of the night! Suddenly he had everyone's full attention. Being the third fastest qualifier meant that Chiaramonte would start sixth in his heat race. He had to finish fourth or better to go straight to the main event. He missed that position by two spots, finishing sixth. Without having a provisional at his disposal, the teen had to go to the 15-car B main where he would have to finish 10th or better to get into the A main event. He easily accomplished that by placing fourth and booking his ticket into the A main. Unfortunately, missing the transfer in his heat meant that Chiaramonte would have to start the 30-lap A main in ninth. Of course, that made things much more exciting for the fans as he had some fast, wily veterans starting in front of him. What happened in the main was not only shocking, but it was magical. Starting ninth, he raced his way all the way up to fifth by the end of the second circuit. A yellow about 1/3 of the way through the race, saw him in sixth. At one point, Chiaramonte slipped as far back as ninth. However, in the second half of the race, he went to the outside and put on a show. Running seventh, he rim rode around two cars coming off turn four and was suddenly up to fifth. Two laps later he blew by two more cars and was up to third, but with time running out, he was a long way behind the second-place car. Dramatically, he chopped down the second-place car's advantage and flew past him as well. It was clear to everyone in the crowd that at that point, he was the fastest driver on the track. The question was, could he chase down and pass the leader? The driver of the car in front won a Midwest championship this year and more main events than any other non-wing 410 driver in the nation. By the end of lap 19 with the large crowd cheering him on, Chiaramonte had chopped the leader's advantage down. They were side by side coming off turn four. As they sped by the starters stand, Chiaramonte inched ahead going into the corner. The leader changed lines and slid up to the top where Chiaramonte was running. With a big drive off turn two, Chiaramonte used his patented cut-back move from micros and was pulling alongside the leader. Simultaneously the yellow flag came out relegating the teen back to second. Once again, Chiaramonte was the pursuer. The leader wisely stayed on the top and kept his young foe at bay. Chiaramonte remained second until he got over the cushion coming off turn four with six laps to go. He quickly recovered but was back to third. A slip on the back chute on the last lap momentarily slowed his progress. He got right back on the throttle, but the loss of momentum saw him edged for third place in a photo finish. Less than 48 hours after his thrilling exploits in the "Grand Canyon State," Chiaramonte and his team were on the road to Tulsa, Oklahoma's Port City Raceway and the 5th Annual Keith Kunz Giveback Classic. The race takes place this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, October 19th, 20th and 21st. The preliminaries will be on Thursday and Friday. The finale will take place on Saturday. Chiaramonte, who will be driving the family-owned #73B in the Non Wing Outlaw class, will contest his preliminary on Thursday. Last year, 117 cars showed up at Tulsa. Chiaramonte, who was 15 at the time, placed eighth in the Friday A main and 15th in the Saturday final. All three nights of this year's Keith Kunz Giveback Classic will be available on Flo Racing.

  THREE SEXTON GATLIN RACING DRIVERS COMPETING AT THE MOHAVE VALLEY RACEWAY ON SATURDAY

  (Lakeside, CA, October 11, 2023) Sexton Gatlin Racing is bringing three cars for this Saturday's open-wheel racing program at Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway. Nineteen-year-old Grant Sexton, who has a big lead in the 2023 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year chase, will be there in his immaculate #22 410 sprint car. His 20-year-old brother Dalton and his father Brent will be competing in the POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint/California Lightning Sprint Cars Best of the West Series. Personable Grant comes back to the track where he notched his second-best 2023 finish in the USAC/CRA Series when he placed sixth in the main event in early May. His only better finish came on June 24th at the Bakersfield Speedway when he drove past the checkered flag in fifth. His other appearance at Mohave this year yielded a 13th-place result on April 1st. In addition to leading the Rookie of the Year chase, Grant is eighth in USAC/CRA points. The youngster has been in the top 10 most of the year. In addition, the Lakeside, California SGR driver is no stranger to the victory circle at Mohave Valley. The 2021 POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series champion won a thrilling lightning main there last October. Brent and Dalton will both be competing in the CLS/SWLS portion of the show. For Dalton, it will only be his third race of the 2023 campaign. On the other hand, Brent is trying to win the SWLS title for the second consecutive season. He enters Saturday's race third in the series standings with five races to go. He trails the leader by 192 points. When it comes to SWLS races at Mohave, SGR has dominated the action. Dating back to the first race at the track in 2021, SGR has won four of the five mains including the last four in a row. Brent has three of those wins and Grant has the other. At the last SWLS race at the track in April, Brent beat five-time CLS champion Bobby Michnowicz of Oak Hills and California Highway Patrol officer Jeff Dyer of Yucca Valley to the checkers. All three will be on hand to battle again on Saturday. Fans can find the Mohave Valley Raceway at 2750 E. Laguna in Mohave Valley, Arizona. The track is just minutes away from the Colorado River and only 20 minutes from Laughlin, Nevada. Gates will open at 5:00 p.m. with racing at 7:00. Adult tickets are $25.00. For seniors 60 and over and active military with proper ID, it is $20.00. Kids 6-12 get in for $5.00. Children five and under are free and parking is free as well.

  SHANE SEXTON MAKES FIRST MOHAVE VALLEY APPEARANCE OF 2023 THIS SATURDAY

  (Warner Springs, CA, October 11, 2023) After a couple of weeks off, "Shugah" Shane Sexton will be back on the racetrack this Saturday night, October 14th, when the Amsoil USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series makes its final appearance of 2023 at Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway. It will be Sexton's first appearance at the track located minutes from the Colorado River since October 8th, 2022. Sexton, who lives in Warner Springs, California, missed the first USAC/CRA race at Mohave Valley this year as his car was not ready. That was on April 1st. Between then and the next race there on May 14th, the friendly young racer suffered a broken back in a crash at Perris on April 15th. Thus, he and his car were not ready for the second race at MVR on May 14th. In two appearances at the Grand Canyon State racetrack in 2022, Sexton received the "Hard Charger Award" for passing the most cars in the main event each time. His best finish of the two came on March 26th when he placed 12th. At the other 2022 USAC/CRA race at the track on October 8th, he came home in 17th. Not only at Mohave Valley but on most tracks he races on, he is in the hunt for the "Hard Charger." "It is due to a lack in qualifying," the personable driver said after doing the brakes on his dad's truck on Tuesday night. "It is a good thing we move forward (in the mains) because we cannot qualify good to save our lives. We have a different game plan going into this weekend. So, hopefully, we start farther up and get the same amount of passes and put that thing in the top 10 or the top five. We definitely have the car to do it." In two starts with the USAC/CRA Series this season, Sexton has qualified 18th and 20th. So the obvious question is why can he not do better in qualifying? "I get in my own head," he stated when asked what the qualifying problem is. "I have talked to Shane Carson and Jimmy Oskie (both National Sprint Car Hall of Famers) and they both told me identical things. They said to imagine it is the 30th lap of the main event. I am just so focused on being fast that I am actually slower. I mess myself up." Like most of the USAC/CRA drivers who have competed at Mohave Valley the last two years, Sexton loves the place. It is fast and it is racy. It also has other amenities that he likes. "I like it a lot," Sexton said. "The best part to me is in the pits. They have the concrete slabs in the pits. You park on them and it is a cleaner working environment when you get on the ground to work on the car. It is a lot cleaner than laying in the dirt like everywhere else." "I was talking to a buddy of mine who races dwarf cars and he told me they redid it," Sexton mentioned on the track being recut before the start of this season. "He said it races faster in turns three and four which had been kind of treacherous up there in the main events. It is going to make for better racing." After Saturday's race, Sexton will be right back at it in a two-day open competition sprint car show at the Imperial Valley Raceway on October 20th and 21st. On the 28th, he will be wheeling Mike Schweitzer's #41B in the California Lightning Sprints/POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint race at Ventura. He will begin the month of November in the 410 at the USAC/CRA Western World Championships at Cocopah Speedway on the 3rd and 4th. A week later he will be at the final USAC/CRA race of the season that will take place at Perris. On Tuesday, November 14th, Sexton will be back in Schweizer's car at the Bakersfield Speedway. He will conclude his season on Thanksgiving weekend with the USAC Western States Sprint Cars in the Annual Turkey Night Grand Prix at the Ventura Raceway. To see "Shugah" Shane Sexton in action on Saturday, fans can find the Mohave Valley Raceway at 2750 E. Laguna in Mohave Valley, Arizona. It is just minutes away from the Colorado River and only 20 minutes from Laughlin, Nevada. Gates will open at 5:00 p.m. with racing at 7:00. Adult tickets are $25.00. For seniors 60 and over and active military with proper ID, it is $20.00. Kids 6-12 get in for $5.00. Children five and under are free and parking is free as well.

  TOMMY DUNKEL TO CONTEST THE GEORGE "ZIGGY" SNIDER CLASSIC SATURDAY AT KERN COUNTY RACEWAY PARK

  (Cypress, CA, October 6, 2023) This Saturday night, October 7th, Inland Rigging's Tommy Dunkel will head to the George "Ziggy" Snider Classic at the beautiful Dirt Track at the Kern County Raceway Park for the USAC West Coast Sprint Cars final points race of 2023. It will be Dunkel's fourth race with the series this year and his first at KCRP. While contesting less than half of the series races (three so far) this season, Dunkel goes into Saturday 18th in points. While points have not been on his radar this year, a good run at KCRP could mathematically propel him all the way up to 13th. All three of Dunkel's 2023 USAC West Coast races in the series were at Jim Naylor's Ventura Raceway. His best finish of the three came three weeks ago when he steered the Inland Rigging #17A to an eighth-place finish. His other two races produced an 11th in May and a 19th when he was involved in a crash on June 17th. From the Chili Bowl to USAC/CRA, USAC West Coast, VRA, and open comp races at the Imperial Valley Raceway, Saturday's event will be Dunkel's 13th start of his first full-season racing open wheel cars. Highlighting the year thus far is a win and a pair second place finishes at Ventura. All told he has six top-10 finishes in 2023. Spectator gates for Saturday's race at Kern County Raceway Park will open at 4:00 p.m. and opening ceremonies will begin at 6:20. Adult tickets are $25.00. Juniors 6-12 get in for $10.00. Children 5 and under are free. The track is located at 13500 Raceway Boulevard, Interstate 5, and S Enos Lane in Bakersfield. The website is https://www.kernraceway.com/ and the office phone is (661) 835-1264. Saturday will be the prelude for a busy month for the Inland Racing Team. On April 14th Brody Roa, the USAC/CRA Sprint Car series point leader, returns to action in his #17R at Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway. On the 20th and the 21st, both Roa and Dunkel will be slinging clay at the non-wing open competition sprint car race at the Imperial Valley Raceway. Fans can pick up a 2023 Inland Rigging Racing Team shirt from the crew after the races or online brodyroa.com. As always, Brody Roa would be more than happy to jump in a race car on his weekends off from the #17R. His entire schedule is printed below.

  AFTER FIVE MONTHS AWAY, SHANE SEXTON RETURNED TO USAC/CRA COMPETITION AT PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY

  (Warner Springs, CA, October 1, 2023) After five long months sitting on the sidelines, "Shugah" Shane Sexton returned to action in the USAC/CRA Glenn Howard Classic at Perris Auto Speedway. The young driver started 19th in the 30-lap main and brought the immaculate #74 GAS Chassis sprint car home in 12th. A multitude of reasons had seen the Warner Springs, California driver on the sidelines and away from the USAC/CRA Series since April. First off was the violent crash on April 15th at Perris when he set the 2023 track aeronautics record for a sprint car. The crash left him with a broken back. In addition, even though his car held up well in the accident, his father, Stan Sexton, decided to build him a new chassis. The driver was healed up and the new car was ready to go for the August 22nd race at Perris. However, that race was canceled due to the remnants of Hurricane Hillary. Thus the Glenn Howard Classic was his first race back in a 410 sprint car. While he did not race his 410 for 5 months, he did get two rides in Mike Schweitzer's Lightning Sprint Car. Upon his return to 410 racing, the qualifying session was tight for the fastest 20 cars. Sexton recorded the 20th fastest lap of 17.791. That meant he was only .960 slower than the fastest driver who stopped the clocks at 16.831. After qualifying, he started and finished seventh in the second 10-lap heat race of the night. That set him into the 19th starting spot in the main. From the drop of the green flag, he looked smooth and fast. When the James Cox checkered flag brought an end to the proceedings, "Shugah" Shane had passed seven cars and finished 12th. "It took just about through the heat races to get really comfortable with myself," Sexton said of his first 410 race back in the saddle. "In the main event, we just rode around the first 10 laps as normal and let everybody sort themselves out. After that, we decided to pass some cars. I think we moved up seven spots or something like that." Being the first time in the brand new GAS Chassis (the GAS Chassis Company is owned by his dad, Stan Sexton, and his grandmother Nita Gatlin), the young driver figured they would have to make a lot of changes once they got on the track. As things turned out, the car performed flawlessly and the crew did not have to do much to it. "It handled super good right off the blocks," Sexton enthused. "It was fast and a lot better than I expected. I thought we were going to have a little bit more kinks to work out of the chassis but it did everything as it should. All we had to do was the minor, normal stuff. Tire pressure and spacing the rears." "I feel this one is a little bit better because my dad had some more notes on the chassis and we could fine-tune some things," Sexton answered when asked to compare this car to his first GAS car. "Now that he has built a couple, we were able to change some things to my liking. Everybody likes different stuff. Once we were able to figure that out, it handled better than I imagined. I am excited to finish the season out in it." After his performance at the Glenn Howard Classic, Sexton is looking forward to the remainder of the season. It includes four more USAC/CRA races, a two-night open comp show at Imperial Valley, and two lightning sprint car races back in Schweitzer's #41B. Up next is Mohave Valley on October 14th. You can see his schedule for the remainder of the season at the end of this release. "I went to Mohave Valley two times last year and got the "Hard Charger" both times," The friendly driver related. "I love that place. I think it is the atmosphere. The pits are nice and everybody around there is super nice. It makes for good racing around there." Sexton and the #74 team wish to extend their thanks to the following 2022 racing season partners.

  SEXTON GATLIN RACING GOES FROM DISASTER TO BOTH DRIVERS IN USAC/CRA MAIN AT PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY

  (Lakeside, CA, September 29, 2023) Sexton Gatlin Racing came back from a disastrous start to finish the night with 13th and 17th place finishes in the USAC/CRA Glenn Howard Classic at Perris Auto Speedway. Up next will be a trip to Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway on October 14th. Drivers Grant Sexton, the USAC/CRA Series leading rookie, and his father Brent represented SGR at the series home track. The father and son combo took laps in qualifying with Grant timing in 10th fastest of the 24 cars on hand with a lap of 17.019. Brent, in only his third series start, was 21st at 18.198. The first event after qualifying was the Senior Sprint Car heat race. In addition to USAC/CRA, Brent decided to race with the Seniors for the second time ever. Unfortunately, he tangled with another car heading into turn one on the first lap. The result was a spectacular two-car flip mere seconds after the green flag. Fortunately, Brent and the other driver were uninjured, but their cars were heavily damaged. The initial word from the pits was SGR did not have enough parts to repair Brent's car. As he was running the same car in both portions of the show, it also meant he was done in USAC/CRA as well. With Brent seemingly done, Grant was going to fly the SGR flag by himself the rest of the way at the Howard Classic. The teen's effort began in the first 10-lap USAC/CRA heat race of the night. However, things did not go well. While he ended up with a better fate than his father in the Senior's, he left the race after only nine laps and finished in the ninth spot. Grant's issue in the heat created a conundrum for the crew. While it was initially announced that Brent was done for the night, the team was busy trying to get the car repaired for the main event. It was a race against time to get the mangled car repaired but everyone pitched in and was on it. When the cars rolled onto the track for main event introductions, one of them was Brent's repaired #44i. Grant began the 30-lapper in 10th and Brent began in the 20th spot. Grant ended up completing all 30 laps and placed 13th. Brent advanced forward three spots and finished 17th despite leaving the action with three laps remaining. Grant came out of the night eighth in the championship standings with four races to go. His next action will be on October 13th at Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway. The 360 engine previously owned by Rico Abreu that Brent used on Saturday will be set aside until Grant uses it in November's Turkey Night Grand Prix at the Ventura Raceway. Brent, the defending POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series champion, will hop back in his lightning sprint for that show. Joining the lightning action will be his oldest son Dalton. A past regular in the lightning sprint car wars, the soon-to-be 21-year-old will be making his fourth start of the 2023 racing campaign.

  BRODY ROA TAKES SECOND IN GLENN HOWARD CLASSIC - MOHAVE VALLEY UP NEXT ON OCTOBER 14th

  (Cypress, CA, September 29, 2023) For fans attending races in the USAC/CRA series in 2023, there has only been one place to see driver Brody Roa. That is, at or near the head of the pack. The Garden Grove, California-based star was there once again when he placed second in the Glenn Howard Classic before an enthusiastic crowd at Perris Auto Speedway. 380284833_6596280897074923_8171914769262978975_n.jpg Brody Roa qualifying at Perris Auto Speedway on September 23rd. Doug Allen photo. Roa, driving the Tom and Christy Dunkel-owned Inland Rigging #17R, was one of 24 series cars to show up for the next to last sprint car race at the famous track in 2023. Amidst the best season of his career, the veteran driver entered the night with a bulging 151-point advantage in the championship standings. By the time the program ended, he drove home with a still comfortable 142-point lead with only four races remaining on the schedule. When time trials were over, the scoresheet showed Roa as the fifth fastest qualifier with a time of 16.872. Much to the chagrin of the competition, that meant that if the "Pride of Garden Grove" placed in the first four positions in his heat race, he would more than likely be on the front row for the main event. With the way his season has gone so far, that seemed like a "slam dunk." However, things do not always go as planned or expected. Roa confidently entered the 10-lap heat race in the fifth position on the inside of row three. He quickly raced into the top four and his starting position on the front row seemed assured. But the odds suddenly tilted against him when he bicycled his pristine white car in turn two. It looked like the car was going to go over, but Roa saved it from flipping. Unfortunately, a yellow flag due to the aeronautics meant that he would have to restart at the back. When the heat race resumed, Roa immediately went on the attack and began passing cars. He needed to get by four of them. He got past three and was closing on the fourth one but ran out of time when the checkered flag came down. That meant instead of starting on the front row of the main, he had to begin on the outside of the fourth row in eighth. Roa put the moves on when the main began and advanced forward. He fought and clawed his way all the way up to second and that is where he finished. One can only speculate on what may have been if the bicycle had not happened in the heat race. Roa is having one of the best-ever seasons in the 24-year history of USAC/CRA. In the 14 races in the series this year, the likable driver has finished first or second 12 times with eight wins and four second-place efforts. Combining those with a fifth-place finish at Perris in April, he has only placed out of the top five once. Roa's next appearance with USAC/CRA will come on October 14th when the series goes to Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway for the third and final time of the year. The Inland Rigging drivers and cars have this weekend off. Next week Tommy Dunkel and his #17A will return to action for the final USAC West Coast Series points race of 2023 at the Kern County Raceway Park in Bakersfield. Details to follow in next week's release. Fans can pick up a 2023 Inland Rigging Racing Team shirt from the crew after the races or online brodyroa.com. 346796104_1206749826660886_1723353253831807847_n.jpg As always, Brody Roa would be more than happy to jump in a race car on his weekends off from the #17R.

  SETH DYER MAKES YOUNG GUN SPRINT CAR DEBUT SATURDAY AT PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY

  (Yucca Valley, CA, September 22, 2023) Second-year Southern California Lightning Sprint Car driver Seth Dyer will take another step up the racing ladder when he competes for the first time in the Perris Auto Speedway Young Gun Sprint Car Series this Saturday night. Dyer will be in the familiar yellow #39 normally driven by his father Jeff in the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series. The original plan was to put a car together for the 16-year-old to race at the last event of the season in November at Perris. Last month that plan changed when Jeff suffered a torn Achilles tendon. The injury has ruled him out for the remainder of the 2023 season. At the urging of Cal Smith, Jeff's partner on the #39, Seth will get his first opportunity to race a full-size sprint car this Saturday. "Actually it was more Cal's idea," Jeff Dyer said over the phone while visiting Knott's Scary Farm on Thursday night. "I tossed it around after I got hurt. I asked Cal what he thought about putting Seth in the car. He said he would think about it and I said I would think about it, too. He called last week and asked me if we were going to do it. I said, 'why the hell not, lets do it." One of the stumbling blocks in doing it was finding a set of restrictors for the car. The engine in the #39 is a 410. The Young Guns have to use 360s or 410s with restrictors. Initially, Dyer had a hard time finding them. But he tracked a set down owned by fellow USAC/CRA driver Brent Owens. Thus, young Seth, who lives in Yucca Valley, California, will be in action on Saturday night. "I told him there is no pressure," the elder Dyer continued. "I told him to just go out and log some laps and have some fun." Seth, who is fourth in points and leading the Rookie of the Year chase in the POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series and who is seventh in California Lightning Series points, is ready to go. "I am pumped dude," the teen stated when asked how excited he was to drive a full-size sprint car. "It is the most exciting thing I have ever done. It was a pretty big surprise but we have had it in mind for a while. We are actually doing it now. There will be some nerves. It is a lot bigger (than a lightning sprint) so there are going to be some things to learn. It is going to be about getting used to the horsepower and the big size of the car." Saturday's race and the November 11th season closer will be a tune-up for the younger Dyer as current plans have him contesting the Young Gun Series in 2024 while still getting in some races in his lightning sprint car. If you wish to see the teen take his first laps in a full-size sprint car, spectator gates will open at 5:00 p.m. and the first race will begin at 7:00. Adult tickets to watch the debut are $30.00. For seniors 65 and over it is $25.00. Kids 6 to 12 get in for just five dollars and children five and under are admitted free. The fairgrounds charge $10.00 for parking. Advance tickets are available up until 7:00 p.m. on Saturday online at tix.com or by calling (800) 595-4849. For fans who do not wish to buy advanced tickets, there will be plenty available for everyone at the ticket window on Saturday night. Perris Auto Speedway is conveniently located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds at 18700 Lake Perris Drive in Perris, California. The track website is http://www.perrisautospeedway.com/ and the office phone number is (951) 940-0134. As pictured, the new Dyer Motorsports team shirts are now available. You can pick one up in the pits after the races or you can order via email at mailto:dyermotorsports4@gmail.com Jeff is racing in memory of his grandparents, Glenn, and Beverly Sels, throughout the 2023 season. Jeff would like to thank the following for making the 2023 racing campaign possible in the #4 and 4Jr Lightning Sprint Cars. Dependable Machine Inc., Haircuts By Susie, Jobu Racing, LBA Investigations, and Dyer Motorsports. For the USAC/CRA #39 sprint car, Straight Time Stirrups, Dependable Machines Inc., Hair Cuts By Susie, Jobu Racing, Justice Brothers, and Specialty Fasteners helped put him on the track.

  BRODY ROA SEEKS FOURTH STRAIGHT USAC/CRA WIN SATURDAY AT PERRIS - TOMMY DUNKEL FINISHES 8TH AT VENTURA

  (Cypress, CA, September 22, 2023) Garden Grove, California's Brody Roa will be shooting for his ninth win in 14 starts and his fourth in a row when the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series visits Perris Auto Speedway for Saturday's annual Glenn Howard Classic. The race comes one week after Roa's car owner and teammate Tommy Dunkel finished eighth in last Saturday's USAC West Coast Sprint Car Series race at Jim Naylor's Ventura Raceway. Roa's dream season carries on two weeks after his impressive runs in the USAC National Sprint Car Series in Texas and Arkansas. At the Thursday night show at Devil's Bowl Speedway in Mesquite, Texas, he started 14th in the main event and finished sixth. Two nights later at the Texarkana 67 Speedway in Arkansas, he was the sixth-fastest qualifier in the 31-car field and placed 14th in the main event. Roa, who became a dad for the second time when daughter Rylee was born two months ago, carries a bulging 840 point lead in the championship standings going into tomorrow night's race on the Riverside County half-mile clay oval. The winner of eight of the season's first 13 races in the Inland Rigging #17R, Roa started his 2023 domination of the series when he swept both ends of the season-opening weekend at the Cocopah Speedway at the end of January. Since then he has only gone two races without a win twice this season. Of the four other drivers who have won USAC/CRA races this year, only one has been victorious more than one time. Saturday's race will be the sixth of the year for USAC/CRA at The PAS. In the previous four, Roa has two wins, a second place, a fifth, and a 15th. The 15th came at the Salute to Indy in May. Roa was leading that one late in the going when he was clobbered by another driver and knocked out of the race. Murrieta, California's Dunkel returned to action at last week's USAC West Coast Series race at Ventura. Twenty-one cars showed up for the event and Dunkel, in his super clean #17A, qualified 11th fastest with a time of 12.631. Soon after, the friendly driver placed fourth in his 10 lap heat. In the main event, he started outside the sixth row in 12th in the 20-car field. As usual, he moved forward and finished eighth. Despite the fact that he has only started three of the West Coast races this season, Dunkel is up to 18th in the championship point standings. It was Dunkel's third USAC West Coast race of the 2023 season and his best finish. All told between the USAC West Coast Series and the Ventura Racing Association in 2023, he has made five starts at Ventura. He has four top 10s and three top two finishes including a win in the April 8th VRA race. Dunkel initially planned on contesting Saturday's USAC/CRA event at Perris. However, he plans on competing for the USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year award in 2024. Drivers are eligible if they have qualified for four or fewer main events in the series. Presently Dunkel has been in three. So, he is sitting this weekend's race out but will return to USAC/CRA action at the Western World Championships at Arizona's Cocopah Speedway on the first weekend in November. His next start in the USAC/West Coast Series will be at Bakersfield's Kern County Raceway Park on October 7th. Fans who wish to see Roa in action this Saturday night in the Glen Howard Classic can find Perris Auto Speedway on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds at 18700 Lake Perris Drive in Perris. Spectator gates will open at 5:00 PM, and the first race will begin at seven. Adult tickets are $30.00. For seniors 65 and over it is $25.00. Kids 6 to 12 get in for just $5.00 and children five and under are admitted free. The fairgrounds charge $10.00 for parking. Advance tickets are available up until 7:00 PM Saturday night. Interested fans can purchase those advance tickets online at tix.com or by calling 1-800-595-4849. For those who do not wish to buy advance tickets, there will be plenty available for everyone at the ticket window on Saturday.

  SHANE SEXTON DEBUTS A STUNNING NEW CAR AT PERRIS ON SATURDAY - NEW SPONSORS, TOO

  (Warner Springs, CA, September 22, 2023) When Perris Auto Speedway fans show up for this Saturday's Glenn Howard Classic featuring the Amsoil USAC/CRA Sprint Cars, driver "Shugah" Shane Sexton will feed them a piece of eye candy. Known for flashy cars, he will be debuting a brand new GAS Chassis with one of the flashiest-looking graphics packages to ever grace the famous Riverside County half-mile. Sensational colors, purple chrome chassis, and chrome decals will certainly make the car stand out. The flashy car will help draw attention to new sponsors Bill's Jerky and Hot Dog Kustoms. Saturday's race will be Sexton's first at Perris since his frightening flip down the back straightaway on April 15. In that crash, at times he was higher than the track billboards. Amazingly, the GAS Chassis held up very well and it protected the driver. However, the energy from the crash broke his back. When he gets to The PAS on Saturday, he will have a new CASM seat mount that protects drivers in crashes (check out the team's August press release for details). Sexton was going to debut the gorgeous car last month, but the incoming Hurricane Hillary forced the track to cancel the race. Since then, the happy-go-lucky racer has made one race driving Mike Schweitzer's #41B in the California Lightning Sprint Car Series at the Bakersfield Speedway. After winning his heat race there, the car blew the fuse to the starter relay knocking him out of the main event with one lap to go. "Shugah" is pleased to welcome his new marketing partners and wants everyone to know about them. Bill's Jerky proprietor, Bill Silbermann, is a lifelong racer and his company produces the nation's tastiest brisket jerky. To learn more about his delicious product or to make a purchase, please visit the company website at https://www.billsjerky.net/. In addition, Hot Dog Kustoms out of Temecula has joined forces with the team. Pete "Hot Dog" Finlan has been in the painting industry since 1981. He was the head painter of West Coast Choppers during the "Monster Garage" era. You can check out his great work and contact him at http://hotdogkustoms.squarespace.com/. Be sure to let both of them know you heard about them through Shane Sexton's racing efforts. After Saturday, Sexton plans to stay busy through the end of the 2023 season making the final four USAC/CRA races of the year starting on October 14th at Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway. He will return to Arizona on November 3 and 4th for the annual Western World Championships at the Cocopah Speedway. One week later he will be at the season closer for the series at Perris Auto Speedway. In addition, he will be looking to get in some laps in the late-season lightning sprint car races. For fans who want to see Sexton race the gorgeous new car on Saturday, spectator gates will open at 5:00 p.m. with racing at 7:00. Adult tickets are $30.00. For fans 65 years of age and older, it is $25.00. For kids six to 12 it is just $5.00 and children five and under are admitted free. The fairgrounds charge $10.00 for parking. Advance tickets are available until 7:00 PM on Saturday night. They can be purchased online at tix.com or by calling 1-800-595-4849. For fans who do not with to buy advance tickets, there will be plenty for everyone at the ticket window on Saturday. Perris Auto Speedway is conveniently located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds (home of the Southern California Fair), one-hour east of Los Angeles and one-hour North of San Diego. To get to the track, take the 215 freeway, exit on the Ramona Expressway, and go three miles east to the fairgrounds. For directions online, the address to enter is: 18700 Lake Perris Drive and the zip code is 92571. Sexton and the #74 team wish to extend their thanks to the following 2022 racing season partners.

  FLOWDYNAMICS RACING TEAM FINALLY BACK ON THE TRACK THIS SATURDAY AT PERRIS

  (Ontario, CA, September 21, 2023) After what seems like an eternity, the Flowdynamics racing team will be back in action when the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series returns to Perris Auto Speedway for the annual Glenn Howard Classic this Saturday night, September 23rd. It will not only be the first race back for the team but also for the 24-year-old racing series since July 15th. The unplanned two-month break in the action has Flowdynamics drivers Matt McCarthy and Logan Williams itching to get back on the track that is located closest to the team's Ontario, California headquarters. The last race at Perris took place on July 15th. In that race, Williams came home fifth for his third top-five finish of the season. McCarthy finished 12th. The series had two races scheduled between the July 15th date and this Saturday night. One was August 19th at Perris. However, that race had to be canceled due to the remnants of Hurricane Hillary. One week before that and three weeks after, USAC/CRA had races scheduled for the Santa Maria Raceway. However, the track has been closed all year. Try as they might, raceway officials were unable to get the track open and those races had to be canceled as well. Thus, the big unplanned summer vacation. Coming into this week's competition, Riverside, California's McCarthy has contested four series races this year. All four have been at Perris and he has two top 10 finishes among them. His best outing came on May 27th when he placed eighth in the Salute to Indy. A month earlier, he finished ninth in the 30-lap main. Williams, who is in his third season competing for Flowdynamics, has started six races in 2023. He has four top-10 finishes and has placed in the top five three times. The Yorba Linda, California driver's best outing in 2023 was a fourth on June 10th. At the last race at Perris on July 15th, he drove his #5W past the checkers in fifth place. Despite confining most of their racing to Perris, Williams is ranked 11th in USAC/CRA Series points and McCarthy is 20th. Things at Perris will get underway when the spectator gates open at 5:00 p.m. The first race will take the green flag at 7:00. Adult tickets are $30.00. Seniors 65 and over get in for $25.00. For kids six to 12 it is just $5.00 and children five and under are admitted free. The fairgrounds charge $10.00 for parking. Advanced tickets are available until 7:00 PM on Saturday night online at tix.com or by calling 1-800-595-4849. For fans who do not wish to buy tickets in advance, there will be plenty available at the ticket window on Saturday night. Perris Auto Speedway is conveniently located at 18700 Lake Perris Drive on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds. Take the 215 freeway, exit at the Ramona Expressway, and go three miles east to the fairgrounds. Whenever you get the chance to meet the Flowdynamics drivers in person, be sure to visit them in the pits. They will be glad to sign autographs for you and each will have their 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 for the upcoming season, please contact John McCarthy at 909 930-5522 or mailto:john@flodyinc.com. McCarthy and Williams would like to thank the following sponsors for making the 2023 season possible. Flowdynamics Inc., PurgePlugs.com, Cal Therm Mechanical Insulators, JFK Design Build, So Cal Racing Fuel, and Full Throttle Lift.

  BRENT AND GRANT SEXTON COMPETE IN THE GLENN HOWARD CLASSIC ON SATURDAY AT PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY

  (Lakeside, CA, September 19, 2023) Sexton Gatlin Racing drivers Brent and Grant Sexton will be back on the track for the first time in over a month when they contest the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series Glenn Howard Classic this Saturday, September 23rd at Perris Auto Speedway. It will be their first race since the finale of the POWRi MinKota Summer Nationals at Minnesota's Buffalo River Speedway on August 14th. As he has done most of the year, 19-year-old Grant enters the race leading the USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year standings. The teen has steadily climbed the points ladder all year long and comes into Saturday's race in seventh. The young driver has placed in the top ten four times in 2023. His best outing was a fifth-place result at the Bakersfield Speedway on June 24th. At Perris, a ninth-place finish at the prestigious Salute to Indy on May 27th, has been his best result at the famous Riverside County half-mile clay oval this year. Besides that, the track has been tough on the effervescent teen with a 12th, 15th, 16th, and 19th. He hopes to improve on all of his Perris finishes on Saturday. Brent, who has been racing at Perris for over 20 years in lightning sprint cars, made his USAC/CRA debut on June 10th. The now 50-year-old shocked everyone by finishing seventh after starting near the back of the pack. His other start in the series came on July 15th at Perris. On that night he started 22nd in the main and moved forward to finish 18th. In addition to his outings in the USAC/CRA Series, Brent, the defending POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series champion, has a win and a second-place finish in the two POWRi races at the track known as The PAS this year. This week, Tennessee native Brent will be debuting a new XXX Chassis. In addition, he will be using an ex-Rico Abreau 360 engine that the team just purchased. The same engine is destined to see some action in the USAC West Coast Series with Grant pushing the pedals. With plans on mostly sticking with USAC/CRA Sprint Cars in 2024, Sexton Gatlin Racing has two, top-of-the-line lightning sprint cars for sale. For prices or information, contact Brent Sexton via the phone number or email at the top of this release. Spectator gates at Perris will open at 5:00 p.m. with racing at 7:00 on Saturday. Adult tickets are $30.00. Seniors 65 and over get in for $25.00. For kids 6-12 it is just $5.00 and children 5 and under are free. The fairgrounds charges $10.00 for parking.

  TOMMY DUNKEL TURNS IN ANOTHER IMPRESSIVE PERFORMANCE AT THE VENTURA RACEWAY

  (Cypress, CA, September 8, 2023) For a lot of people, Disneyland is their happy destination place. However, there are some who would gladly offer that the Ventura Raceway is their go-to joint. It is safe to say that Inland Rigging sprint car driver Tommy Dunkel is one of the latter. Last Saturday night at Jim Naylor's racing emporium located mere feet from the crashing waves of the Pacific Ocean, Dunkel raced to another second-place finish in the VRA Sprint Car Series main event. Dunkel's prowess at Ventura, in what to date is his most ambitious season racing sprint cars, has been impressive, to say the least. In five starts on the famous 1/5 mile oval in 2023, he has one win, two second-place finishes, an 11th (that was a top-five until he got clobbered late in the race), and a 19th. The two second-place finishes have come back to back. Despite not being a regular in the series, Dunkel began last Saturday night eighth in Ventura Racing Association Sprint Car points. Likewise, he started the 30-lap main event in the eighth spot. When the green flag and lights opened the 30-lapper, Dunkel moved forward and was in sixth when a yellow flag slowed the action on lap three. By the 1/3 mark, he had slipped back to seventh, but from that point on, he pushed the immaculate, white #17A forward. Dunkel shot into third place at the halfway point. Four laps later, he raced into second. The friendly driver was stalking the leader but with about nine laps to go, an inadvertent white flag was thrown. The next lap past the line, Dunkel lifted thinking it was going to be the checkers. He jumped back on the throttle when he saw that the green lights were still on but by that point the damage was done. The leader had increased his advantage and Dunkel was forced to settle for second. While frustrated by the faux pas, he was still happy with placing second. Currently in Arkansas with his Inland Rigging teammate Brody Roa, Dunkel and the team will head back home to Southern California after Saturday's race. As soon as they get back, they will put the finishing touches on Dunkel's car for next Saturday's USAC West Coast Sprint Car Series race at Ventura. One week after that, on September 23rd, Dunkel will compete closer to home when the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series converges at Perris Auto Speedway. In addition to Dunkel, series point leader Roa will be in action that night as well. Fans can pick up a 2023 Inland Rigging Racing Team shirt from the crew after the races or online brodyroa.com. As always, Brody Roa would be more than happy to jump in a race car on his weekends off from the #17R. His entire schedule is printed below. If anybody wishes to contact him about open dates, they can do so at 714-932-7994 or mailto:brodyroa91@gmail.com The team wants to thank the following sponsors for making the 2023 season possible.
