  AFTER A 5TH-PLACE PLACE FINISH AT PERRIS, ROA HEADS TO HANFORD WITH AN EXPANDED POINT LEAD

  (Cypress, CA, April 20, 2023) Brody Roa steered the Inland Rigging #17R sprint car to a hard-fought fifth-place finish in last Saturday's USAC/CRA main event at Perris Auto Speedway. The finish allowed the Garden Grove, California veteran to expand his lead to 52 points heading into this Saturday's "Spanky Mathews Memorial" at Peter Murphy's Kings Speedway in Hanford, California. 336023080_661915405694220_9217967785054651004_n.jpg Brody Roa getting his bike on at Perris in March. Anthony Hernandez photo. Roa came into Saturday with two wins and two runnerup finishes in the first four races of 2023. The week prior, teammate Tommy Dunkel dominated at Ventura leading the entire distance of his heat race and the main event. Needless to say, the Inland Rigging team came into the night as the hottest sprint car team on the west coast. Roa started out hot like he has been all year long. In qualifying, he was the third fastest in the 20-car field with a lap of 16.614. Being third quickest met that the veteran driver would have to start in the sixth position, in the third 10-lap heat race. From there he rolled forward and came home with a second-place finish. Roa began the 30-lap main event on the inside of the third row in fifth. Over the first half of the race, he was one of the combatants in a great seesaw battle from third back to seventh. After the first red flag of the race with 13-laps to go, Roa found speed on the top of the racetrack and shot all the way up to third. At that point, he looked to perhaps be the fastest car on the track with plenty of time left. However, another red flag halted his progress. On that red, the crew chief in one of the cars running up front advised his driver of the progress Roa had been making on that line. When racing began again, that driver wisely moved up into the lane Roa had been running and slowed his progress and insuring himself of the win. A few laps later, the Steve Russell checkered flag ended the race and Roa placed fifth. While it was his worst USAC/CRA finish of the year, he has yet to finish out of the top five in the series in 2023. "Average," Roa said when asked to assess his performance. "It was one of those nights where I think the track kind of played out to nobody doing anything spectacular. I think we had a chance there in the middle of the race before that last red. I Heard Matt Mitchell (the winner of the race) during his post-race interview say that Tommy (Mitchell's crew chief Tommy Horne) told him I was running the top. I knew that second red was kind of going to ruin our chances. We made a good run around the top right before that. I knew Matt would move up and take the lane away." "We had a chance without that red," Roa continued. "Between the reds I kind of tuned on the shocks a little bit. I really committed to it (the top). After that first red everybody really committed to the bottom and did not float up in the middle like they were and they left the lane open." The next three weeks are quick turnovers for the Inland Rigging team. This week Roa and the 17R head to King's Speedway. A week from Saturday, April 29th, they head north again to The Dirt Track at Kern County Raceway Park. After that it will be time to head east for a May 6th date at Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway where Roa has a win and a second-place finish in two appearances. Mohave Valley will also see the return of Roa's teammate Tommy Dunkel. "I would race every day if I could," Roa laughed when asked if he liked racing four weeks in a row. "It is what we love to do. I am happy to get back to Hanford. We have not been there in two years. I think the program we have now is going to be really good around that place. We have always run pretty good there. We have won in a 360 there but have not run a 410 there a lot. Hopefully, we can knock off a win there, too." Two years ago at Hanford, Roa had a third-place finish in the USAC/West Coast 360 sprint cars and a second in the King of Thunder Bandits. He also placed 22nd in one of the few winged races he has contested in his career.

  TOMMY DUNKEL GETS FIRST SPRINT CAR WIN - BRODY ROA LEADS USAC/CRA INTO PERRIS SATURDAY

  (Cypress, CA, April 13, 2023) The dream season for the Inland Rigging Racing team continued last Saturday night when Tommy Dunkel notched the first win of his career at the Ventura Raceway. The team will be back in action this Saturday when point leader Brody Roa leads the USAC/CRA series into Perris Auto Speedway. dunkel.jpg Winner Tommy Dunkel and his daughter Ava in victory circle at Ventura. Inland Rigging photo. For many sprint car drivers, the first win of their career can be something they stumbled into. That was not the case last week for Dunkel. The Murrieta, California-based driver not only led every single lap in his heat race, but he did so in the 30-lap main event as well on the track that is located a few hundred feet from the breaking waves of the Pacific Ocean. To put a bigger emphasis on how the victory could have been unlikely at the start of the night, the normal Inland Rigging crew that works the USAC/CRA races was absent. Dunkel began his domination of the show in his 10-lap heat race when he started on the outside of the front row. He got a great jump at the drop of the green flag and was never headed. The win set him up for a pole position start for the 30-lap, 14-car main event. Of Dunkel's 13 competitors in the race, seven had triumphed on the "Best Little Dirt Track in America" in the past. So, to say Dunkel was the favorite, would not have been accurate. However, once the green flag was waved to start the race, he hit all his marks like a seasoned pro. He was challenged by the second-place driver for the first third of the race. The foe put good pressure on him and would show him a wheel, but Dunkel never wavered. He survived those challenges and restarts due to yellow and red flags before impressively driving to victory circle where he collected the winner's trophy and first-place check after the race. "We got a good jump when we came around to the cone," the happy winner recollected Thursday on the phone. "It was nice that Jim Naylor (the promoter) allowed us to go 30-laps. I was kind of praying it would be 15 (when he jumped into the lead). The track was good. It started to go slick towards the end of the feature, but for the first half of the race, it was hooked up. There were two grooves and when I got into lapped traffic, I was able to rip the top to go around guys. It was pretty racy." "They all had Easter plans and they were out of town," Dunkel said about the crew not being there. "But everybody was extremely available all night long on the phone. Brody kept giving me great pointers and great setup advice. I was also on the phone with Joe Devin, the owner of DRC. Between what Brody was bouncing off of me, and what Joe was bouncing off of me, we were able to come up with a really dialed-in setup. It worked out really well having everybody in our corner even if it was just on the phone. I also had my son Aidan there. He has been really stepping up to help and it is really great having him there. Malyssa Perkins came out to the track to give me a hand as well. She is really good and knows her stuff. Big thanks to them for being there." While it was Dunkel's first-ever win, it should be no surprise that he won at Ventura. In his first sprint car race after several years off, he finished third at the track last year. He then closed the season in the sprint car portion of the Turkey Night Grand Prix. After fighting hard in the B main and earning one of the coveted starting spots in the A, he started 22nd and passed nine cars to finish 13th. "It is on the top of the list, at least for now," Dunkel replied when asked if Ventura was his favorite track. "I have had a lot of fun driving at other places. My heart is always in Perris. It's the home track I grew up watching the sprint cars at. But right now, yeah, absolutely Ventura is it. I have had most of my laps in a sprint car there and I cut my teeth in a sprint car at Ventura. To be able to get my first win and for it to be there is really special." Dunkel's next race will be the USAC/CRA show at Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway on May 6th. While the humble winner was happy to talk about his victory, he wanted to shift the focus to teammate Roa and this week's race at Perris. In the first four rounds of the year in the 24-year-old series, Roa, in the #17R owned by Dunkel, has two wins and two second-place finishes. Thus, he will bring a 33-point lead into Saturday's race. "First and foremost it is Brody's experience that has him in first place," Dunkel happily explained. "Then you add in Brett (Brody's dad) and Zac's (longtime Roa crew chief Zac Bozanich) experience, that is huge. Then you throw into the mix the fresh equipment. It is fresh equipment every race. We are going to try whatever it takes to win. I think it affects the mindset. I think it is a moral boost, too. With the results we have been having this year, it has definitely made me very happy. I have high expectations and this is a very serious deal. Brody and the whole crew are delivering. They are exceeding my expectations for sure as a car owner." Fans can see Roa in the Inland Rigging # 17R in person on Saturday at Perris. The track is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds at 18700 Lake Perris Drive in Perris (92571). Adult tickets are $30.00. For fans aged 65 and over, it is $25.00. For kids 6 through 12 it is just $5.00, and children 5 and under are admitted free. The fairgrounds charges $10 for parking.

  BRODY ROA CONTINUES TO ROLL WITH A SECOND-PLACE USAC/CRA FINISH AT THE MOHAVE VALLEY RACEWAY

  (Cypress, CA, April 6, 2023) USAC/CRA point leader Brody Roa continued his impressive season in the Inland Rigging #17R when he raced to a second-place finish last Saturday at the Mohave Valley Raceway. The finish allowed the Garden Grove, California driver to extend his lead to 34 points after the first four races of the year. 337419773_889477388982387_8264439381609066114_n.jpg Brody Roa has two wins and two second-places finishes in the Inland Rigging #17R in USAC/CRA racing in 2023. Doug Allen photo. An impressive field of 30 cars showed up to entertain the packed grandstands at the track that is located just minutes from the Colorado River. After a delay due to repairs on the corner signal lights, the cars went qualifying. Roa, who came into the night with two wins and a second-place finish in the first three races of the year, turned in the second-fastest time of the night with a lap of 13.966. Teammate Tommy Dunkel of Murrieta posted a 15.513 on his first-ever visit to the track. Roa, the 2016 USAC West Coast, and 2019 USAC Southwest Sprint Car champion, started sixth in the second heat race. By the end of the first lap, the veteran driver had steered his way up to second and he shot into the lead in turn one on lap two. However, in a traffic jam coming in turn four on the second go around, he got clobbered from behind and slid back to third. Not one to rest on his laurels, Roa ran the top in one and two and the bottom in three and four. By the end of the third lap, he was back up to second and he flew back into the lead on lap six. He led the remainder of the way in the 10-lapper and scored the victory by eight car lengths. One race later it was Dunkel's shot in the heat races. Starting in the seventh spot, he initially moved up to sixth in his first-ever race at the track. After a good battle for the position, he slipped back and finished in seventh. Dunkel was right back on the track for the 12-lap B main. Starting in 11th, he got caught in someone else's mess in turn two on the opening lap and came to a stop. He restarted at the back and worked his way up to ninth, but a spin sent him to the back again. With just three laps remaining, he quickly worked his way back to ninth. However, he ran out of time as he had to get back to sixth to garner one of the transfer spots to the A main. The show wrapped up with the 30-lap main event that had Roa starting in sixth. The first five laps featured a tumultuous amount of yellow flags. Roa stayed clear of the high-powered chaos and moved up to fourth. The "Pride of Garden Grove" was docked in that spot until the end of the 19th circuit when he advanced to third. At that point, he was still not done. He chased down and passed the second-place car with two laps to go. However, by that time the leader was long gone and the only hopes Roa had were for an intervening yellow flag. Neither of those scenarios played out and he had to be satisfied with a hard-fought-for and well-deserved second-place finish. "Thank you all for staying around and watching that," Roa told the crowd when interviewed by Ronnie Everhart after the race. "I was hoping for a caution there at the end because I think we were pretty good. At least make him (winner Chase Johnson) work for it instead of him out there cruising by himself. All jokes aside, congratulations to those guys." "It was a tough track to pass on," Roa continued. It was, don't miss the bottom but don't hit the water. Another second, on the year, we will take it. Thanks to all my guys. My dad, my wife, my daughter, Zac (crew chief Zac Bozanich), Tom & Christy (car owners Tom and Christy Dunkel), and their whole group." Roa is taking the Easter weekend off, but teammate Dunkel will be racing his powerful Shaver 360 in Saturday's VRA Sprint Car race at Jim Naylor's Ventura Raceway. It will be his first race at the track since last November's Turkey Night Grand Prix. On that night Dunkel transferred from the B to the A main where he started 22nd. He moved forward throughout the 30-lap race and came home with an impressive 13th-place finish. One month earlier on the popular 1/5 mile oval, he finished third in the VRA main event. If you want to see Dunkel live on one of the country's most popular racetracks this Saturday, spectator gates will open at 3:00 p.m. and the first race will be at 5:30. Adult tickets are $18.00. For seniors 60 and over, and military & students with id, it is $15.00. Kids 12 and under are free when they are accompanied by an adult. 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. As always, 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.

  TOMMY DUNKEL JOINS USAC/CRA POINT LEADER BRODY ROA SATURDAY AT MOHAVE VALLEY RACEWAY

  (Cypress, CA, March 28, 2023) There will be a bunch of firsts happening for the Inland Rigging Racing Team when it rolls into Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway this Saturday, April 1st. For Brody Roa, it will be the initial time he has been first in USAC/CRA points when competing at the track and the first time he has driven a DRC chassis there. For teammate Tommy Dunkel it will not only be his initial time on the banked 1/3 mile oval but also his first-ever USAC/CRA start. Anthony Hernandez 3-18 PAS #2.jpg Brody Roa while leading the March 18 USAC/CRA main at Perris Auto Speedway. Anthony Hernandez photo. Garden Grove, California's Roa is off to a flying start in the USAC/CRA Series in 2023. In late January he drove to victory in both season-opening races at Arizona's Cocopah Speedway. A few weeks later, the 2016 USAC West Coast and 2019 USAC Southwest Sprint Car champion placed second when Perris Auto Speedway opened the doors for its 27th season. The veteran racer's early season prowess sees him carrying a 22-point lead into the Mohave race. He also has an amazing 1.33 main event finishing average through the first three races. This weekend's race will only mark Roa's second time racing at Mohave. Last October he dazzled the Arizona crowd by winning the main after starting the 30-lapper deep in the field in 11th. It was his third USAC/CRA win of 2023. "I thought it was a lot of fun," Roa said of his first visit to the track. "One and two, there is one fast lane around it. Three and four developed nice where it is right on the lip on the top. The bottom is really difficult to hit. I felt like I had to drive it really hard to make speed down there. It was pretty cool the way the track developed and I had fun. It was kind of technical and fitted my style." With last week's rainouts at Kings Speedway in Hanford and the Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, Roa has not competed in two weeks. He is starting with the car the way he has all year long. So far with two wins, a second and the point lead after three races, things have worked out well. "I am showing up exactly the same way I started at Perris," Roa said. "That is what our game plan has been with it (the new DRC) from Cocopah, to Perris in the races we ran with it. Both those tracks I feel are significantly different and both drove really well. My plan this year is to not over think car set up. I am really good at sitting there and thinking about what I can change to fix things that are not broken. I am trying to show up the same and let the car drive the same every week. It obviously goes pretty fast so I am not trying to over think it." Dunkel was in the top 10 at the Imperial Valley Raceway's So Cal Non-Wing Open Comp. show last month when a steering issue parked him in the waning laps. He is anxiously waiting for his first shot at "Arizona's Baddest Bullring." Judd Neves March Imperial.jpg Tom Dunkel at Imperial in early March. Judd Neves photo. "I have never laid eyes on it," Dunkel said of the Arizona track. "It looks fast and it looks racy. Going into this deal with Brody Roa, saying I am going in blind would be a false statement. With all of their knowledge and experience and Brody winning the last time there in October, that gives me some confidence going in. With those guys I know I am going in with top-notch equipment, top-notch setup, and crew guys. Everything else is there, the final piece of the puzzle is just getting me up to speed." "Oh, big time, yeah," Dunkel laughed when queried about being nervous racing in the USAC/CRA Series. "Going to run against all of the names you grew up watching and rooting for all these years. You see how fast these guys really are. The nerves are high. But at the green flag, the jitters pretty much go away for me, thankfully. I am nervous leading up and nervous in staging. As soon as the car fires off I am pretty good and when the green drops, there is no time to think about anything but going forward." Roa will be in his DRC with a Shaver 410, at Mohave. Dunkel will be in another DRC with a Shaver 360. "We kind of made that decision at the last minute," Dunkel related. "Honestly, with my caliber of driving and my experience, a 360 is plenty for me right now. 360s have done pretty well there in the past. I think I am going to be okay running it. It is a big power 360, it is no slouch. I think if I start running some CRA stuff at Perris later in the year, we are definitely going to throw the 410 in it. Until we get to that point, we will keep on running the 360." To see the point leader and his new teammate in action on Saturday, the Mohave Valley Raceway is located at 2750 E. Laguna Rd. in Mohave Valley, Arizona (86440). Gates at the popular track which is located just minutes away from the Colorado River and less than a half hour from downtown Laughlin, will open at 5:00 p.m. The first green flag of the night will wave 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 just $5.00 and children five and under are free.

  BRODY ROA TAKES SECOND AT SOKOLA SHOOTOUT AND INCREASES HIS USAC/CRA POINT LEAD

  (Cypress, CA, March 22, 2023) Veteran Southern California sprint car racer Brody Roa steered the Inland Rigging #17R to a second-place finish in last Saturday night's 20th annual "Sokola Shootout" at Perris Auto Speedway. The result allowed him to increase his lead to 22 points in the series standings and gives him two wins and a second-place finish in the first three races of the 2023 season. 336023080_661915405694220_9217967785054651004_n.jpg Up on two wheels, this was the pass that put Brody Roa temporarily in the lead on Saturday. Anthony Hernandez photo. Twenty-five top-notch cars showed up for the race on the West Coast's premiere dirt track. Driving a DRC Chassis for the third time, Roa qualified fourth fastest with a lap of 16.449. That put the Garden Grove, California racer in a good position for the remainder of the night as all he had to do was place in the top four of his heat race to be assured of starting in the first three rows of the main event. The skilled driver did just that when he started fifth and placed third in the first 10-lapper of the night. That finish by Roa secured a spot on the inside of the second row for the 30-lapper. Roa quickly advanced his way to second and began to chase leader Justin Grant, the 2022 USAC National Sprint Car champion, who started on the outside of the front row. After chasing the pace setter for 16 laps, Roa flew into the lead on the 17th circuit. The 2019 USAC Southwest Sprint Car Series champion maintained the top spot until lap 21 when he lost the lead on a restart. He continued to chase Grant till the end but had to settle for a second-place finish. "I knew we had a chance," Roa responded when asked if he thought he could beat Grant after starting behind him. "Obviously I knew he wasn't going to be easy to beat. This new car (DRC) has brought a lot of confidence back into us. It does not take a whole lot of changes to make it fast throughout the night. Just little bits and it keeps the car on the ground making grip, but still turning. That is a pretty odd feeling for me but it is a really comfortable car. We probably could have gotten a little more aggressive with it, but it is still a bit of a learning curve. It was the first time at Perris with it. We did not want to get ourselves too far out of the box. If we were a little bit better, we probably could have had a slider fest as we did three or four years ago" Roa's second-place finish marked the first time he had not won in the three USAC/CRA races this year. After the race, his finishing average for the year is an outstanding 1.33. "It was a pretty smooth night," Roa said. "We had one little leak in the heat race. We got that cleaned up. Other than that, no issues, concerns, or worries." While Roa has two USAC/CRA wins in 2023, there is a bigger winner. That is the rain. Three weeks ago, the two-night show at the Central Arizona Speedway was canceled due to wet conditions. This week's races at Kings Speedway and the Tulare Thunderbowl also fell victim to the weather. That leaves this season's score at Mother Nature 4, USAC/CRA 3. "I am a little bummed that we are rained out again," Roa mused. "I was especially looking forward to going to Hanford. We haven't been there in like four years when the non-wing cars (USAC/CRA) have been there. 2018 maybe. It has been a long time. I have always liked Hanford. It is a fun, fast racetrack." "I might go down and keep cleaning out the old shop. Moving and storing stuff into my garage. It is not an easy task with all the stuff we have collected over the last 12 years. There is a lot of work to be done and there is a ton of stuff still down there. A lot of stuff we held onto just in case we needed it and a lot of it is for sale. My dad has been taking and posting a lot of pictures during his lunch break or after work. The old shop is around the corner from his office." Weather permitting, and so far the forecast looks good, the Inland Rigging Racing Team will return to action at Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway on April 1st. It will be the first of three races for USAC/CRA at the track that is located just 20 minutes away from Laughlin, Nevada. On October 8th of last year, Roa made his lone appearance at the track and turned it into a memorable night. Starting 11th in the 30-lap main, he sliced and diced his way through the field until taking the lead and subsequently winning the race by over a half straightaway. Despite not running the full series schedule last year, it was his third victory. In addition to Roa being in action at Mohave Valley, teammate Tom Dunkel will make his first-ever start in USAC/CRA. It will not be the Murrieta, California racer's first USAC start as he placed 13th in the USAC West Coast Sprint Car Series at last November's Turkey Night Grand Prix in Ventura. Two weeks ago he was running ninth with three laps to go in the So Cal Non-Wing Open Comp. show at the Imperial Valley Raceway. Unfortunately, his steering gear let go knocking him out of the race with a 16th-place finish. As always, 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.

  BRODY ROA READIES FOR SATURDAY'S SOKOLA SHOOTOUT AT PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY

  (Cypress, CA, March 16, 2023) One week after racing with teammate Tommy Dunkel at the Imperial Valley Raceway, Brody Roa is preparing for one of the longest-running sprint car races in Southern California, the 20th annual "Sokola Shootout" at Perris Auto Speedway. The race is this Saturday night, March 18th, and Roa comes into it as the point leader in the 2023 USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series championship standings. In his first two times driving an Inland Rigging-owned car, Roa scored the wins in the first two races of the 2023 USAC/CRA schedule at Brad Whitfield's Cocopah Speedway in January. He carries a 14-point lead in the championship standings heading into Saturday's race on the famous Riverside County half-mile clay oval that is located 77 miles east of Los Angeles. In addition to winning both of the Cocopah mains, he also captured one of his two heat races on the weekend in his new DRC chassis. At last year's "Sokola Shootout" Roa scored a dominating win in his 10-lap heat race. For the 30-lap main event, he started seventh and finished sixth. Last week's races at Imperial, which were run during the California Mid-Winter Fair, drew a strong field of cars and fine crowds. The successful event was a rebirth of what used to be an annual tradition that carried on for decades when the original CRA raced during the fair. For Roa, it was his first race at The PAS. Dunkel, who lives in Murrieta, appeared on the fairgrounds track and finished seventh there last October. The race was an open comp show. Meaning there were both 360s and 410s competing together. Dunkel was in his brand new DRC and Roa was driving a Maxim. Both were powered by Shaver 360s. "It was the first time out in the new DRC chassis," Dunkel said of his car at Imperial. "Between the new chassis and Brett & Brody Roa helping with setup and driving advice, it helped tremendously. We were able to post some decent times and hold our own out there. I ended up getting into it with a slower car (during Friday practice) and ended up getting upside down. The car did not get hurt too bad. Just some radius rods, a nerf bar, wheel, and tire. I got banged up a little bit and had some sore ribs." The big night at Imperial was Saturday. In front of an enthusiastic crowd, the sprint cars were competing for the winner's $5000.00 paycheck. The first order of business on the night was heat races. The top five finishers from each heat moved straight into the main event. As luck would have it, Dunkel and Roa were matched up in the same heat. Dunkel managed to hold off the sixth-place driver to earn the final transfer spot into the A main. The driver he held off was Roa. While Dunkel was locked into the A main, Roa had to go to the B to earn his ticket for a shot at the winner's loot. He performed flawlessly in the B and won the race. For the main, Roa had to start 16th, on the outside of row #8. That was directly behind new teammate Dunkel who was coming from 14th. Despite the fact that he was competing against some stout 410s, Roa was on a mission. The 2019 USAC Southwest Sprint Car Series champion was weaving his way through the field. With 10 laps remaining, the Garden Grove, California veteran was all the way up to fifth and was pressing the drivers in third and fourth. However, disaster struck when one of the cars ahead of Roa and a lapper got together. Roa could not avoid the tangle and ended up done for the night with a junked racecar. He ended up 17th. After Roa's incident, Dunkel was left to fly the Inland Rigging flag by himself. He had advanced all the way to ninth when trouble set in and he ended up 16th. "I was in the ninth spot with three to go and I had a steering gear failure," Dunkel lamented. "Both of our nights ended kind of poorly. For myself, I was really happy with the weekend. We tore some stuff up but in the end, I am really happy with the DRC. I had a blast out there racing with those guys. They are going to have another show there in October and we'll come back. We will come out swinging and hopefully, we will have some better results to show." Roa returns to action at Perris Auto Speedway on Saturday and will be at Kings Speedway in Hanford next Friday. He will then journey to Arizona's Mohave Valley on April 1st. That night it will be a two-car effort for Inland Rigging as Dunkel will make his USAC/CRA debut. Spectator gates at Perris Auto Speedway will open at 5 PM on Saturday and the first race will be at 7:00. The track is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds at 18700 Lake Perris Drive in the city of Perris (92571). Advance tickets are available 24 hours a day at https://www.tix.com/ticket-sales/pas/7.

  MATT McCARTHY AND LOGAN WILLIAMS MAKE THEIR SEASON DEBUTS SATURDAY AT PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY

  (Ontario, CA, March 16, 2023) The familiar faces of Matt McCarthy and Logan Williams will make their 2023 season debut this Saturday, March 18th, at Perris Auto Speedway in the 20th annual "Sokola Shootout" for the USAC/CRA Sprint Cars. Spectator gates will open at 5:00 p.m. with racing at 7:00. PAS 3-26-22=28m 5w=1085-3.jpg Matt McCarthy #28 and Logan Williams #5 will make their 2023 debuts Saturday at Perris. Doug Allen Photo. Competing at the track that is located closest to the team's Ontario, California race shop, McCarthy and Williams have hundreds of laps on the famous Riverside, County half-mile clay oval. Last season McCarthy, who lives in nearby Riverside, California, started five main events at Perris. He had two top-10 finishes including a season-best 7th on March 26th. Yorba Linda, California's Williams started four main events on the track that is located at the base of the Lake Perris Dam. He had two top-10 finishes with a season-best fifth-place result on June 26th. Away from Perris, Williams's best finish of the season in the series was a fourth and he accomplished that twice. The first took place at the Bakersfield Speedway on May 14th. The second occurred at the grand re-opening of the Santa Maria Raceway on August 6th. For McCarthy, the seventh-place finish at The PAS in March was also his best result of the year in the series. After the season openers at Cocopah, the series was supposed to be in action two weeks ago at the Central Arizona Speedway. However, that race was wiped out by heavy rain. Thus, McCarthy and Williams will have only missed two races and will be able to climb in the series point standings. Last year Williams ended up ninth in the championship standings and McCarthy was one spot behind him in 10th. The son of National Sprint Car Hall of Famer Rip Williams, 2023 marks the 10th anniversary of Williams' championship in the inaugural Perris Auto Speedway Young Gun Sprint Car Series. One year later he was named USAC/CRA "Rookie of the Year." Three years after that, McCarthy was the club's "Rookie of the Year" in 2017." Each driver will be using a DRC chassis with FK Shocks in 2023. McCarthy will be using a Kistler engine and Williams will be running a Shaver power plant. Despite the fact that the Perris track was pounded by heavy rains overnight on Tuesday, racing will still take place this Saturday. When officials first looked at the drenched facility on Wednesday morning, they questioned if they could get the track in shape and be ready to go. However, on Thursday morning promoter Don Kazarian announced that the facility will be ready for action. For those who wish to see McCarthy and Williams in action this week, advance tickets are available at the following link https://www.tix.com/ticket-sales/pas/7or by calling 1-800-595-4849. If you do not wish to buy tickets in advance, there will be plenty available for everyone at the ticket window on race night.

  DYER MOTORSPORTS PLANS ON BEING EXTRA BUSY THROUGHOUT 2023

  (Yucca Valley, CA, March 10, 2023) Holding down a full-time job as a California Highway Patrol officer and maintaining a racecar occupies a lot of Jeff Dyer's time. So, what is he doing for 2023? He will continue to patrol the highways and protect citizens from speeders and drunk drivers, but instead of one race car, he will be maintaining three this season. For Dyer, who lives in Yucca Valley, California, extra racecars have been a way of life the last few years. After launching his career with the California Lightning Sprint Car Series over a decade ago, Dyer also started competing in 410 sprint cars on a part-time basis. He added to that load when his son Seth started competing in speedway sprints. Last year the now 16-year-old moved up full-time to join his dad in lightning sprints. Dyer got a break from the extra work on racecars in a sort of bad way last year. He lost two engines in the 410 early in the season and parked that car for the remainder of the campaign. That left him with just the lightning sprints to take care of over the second half of 2022. That has changed again and being a glutton for punishment, he has another engine for the 410 so it is back to three cars. To add to the chaos, father and son will be competing in three different racing series and may on some occasions be racing at two different tracks on the same night. This weekend Jeff was racing the 410 in the Southern California Non Wing Open Comp races at the Imperial Valley Raceway, and the first two rounds of the "CLS/SWLS Best of the West" lightning sprint six race series. Seth, who was joining Jeff in the lightning sprints this week, will focus on the Rookie of the Year award in the POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Series where Jeff will join him when the opportunity arises. They will also compete in as many California Lightning Sprint Car Series races as the schedule allows. "I am not quite sure how I am going to handle it yet," Dyer laughed last Tuesday when asked about maintaining three cars. "The main focus is going to be on Seth this year. I am going to try to step back a little bit. My plan is to race the "King of the West Series" that the Southwest and CLS have going on. I am probably going to run a couple of lightning sprint races at Perris, and maybe some sporadic races at Ventura and Bakersfield. We will run the 410 sprint car mostly at Perris and will travel a little bit with it." "I am hoping that he qualifies a little bit better," Dyer said when discussing what he hoped for Seth. "I also want him to have more consistent finishes and kind of run more upfront. He definitely has the equipment to do it and I think the talent. He just has to be more confident in himself to get it done." Dyer was off to a good start in the 410 in 2022 before he lost the two engines. The season started off rough in 2023 when he damaged one in practice, but he recently purchased an engine from fellow USAC/CRA competitor Cody Williams. That means he will eventually have three engines at his disposal. "We got our engine back from the engine builder and we went out to Perris to shake the car down along with my lightning sprint," Dyer lamented. "The sprint car engine went three laps and then we had a motor problem. It broke a valve; We were kind of screwed but then we had a sponsor step up and we bought an engine from Cody Williams. So, it kind of all worked out. The engine is an All Pro 410." "We had a really good car there last year and we have always been pretty fast there," Dyer said about the Imperial Valley track. "Last year we won with the wing on pretty convincingly. We have a fresh engine in the lightning sprint and it is probably the best engine we have had." "After Saturday, we will be off until April 1st when we take all three cars to Mohave," he continued. "It is the third race for that six-race series they (CLS and SWLS), have going on. It will also be my debut in the USAC/CRA Series for this year. I will not be at Perris on March 18th as it is my 40th birthday and my wife is taking me to the Atlanta NASCAR race." Jeff will race in memory of his grandparents, Glenn and Beverly Sels, throughout the 2023 season.

  INLAND RIGGING DRIVERS TOMMY DUNKEL AND BRODY ROA WILL RACE AT IMPERIAL VALLEY RACEWAY THIS WEEK

  (Cypress, CA, March 9, 2023) Tommy Dunkel and Brody Roa will make their first joint team appearance this Friday and Saturday, March 10th and 11th, in the Southern California Open Class Non-Wing Sprint Cars at the Imperial Valley Raceway. The race will be the second event for each of the drivers in 2022. Dunkel previously competed in January's Chili Bowl Midget Nationals in Tulsa, Oklahoma and Roa swept the weekend winning both USAC/CRA main events at the Cocopah Speedway at the end of the same month. thumbnail (1).jpg The Inland Rigging cars are ready for action at Imperial. Dunkel photo. Neither of the two team drivers is experienced at the Imperial track which is located less than 30 minutes north of the USA/Mexico border. Dunkel has appeared there one time and placed seventh last October. For Roa, the current point leader in the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series, it will be his first race at the longtime racing facility. While it will be his initial outing at the track, the Garden Grove, California-based driver enters the event as one of the pre-race favorites. While it will only be his second appearance at Imperial, Dunkel realizes the value of having Roa, and his longtime crew as part of the Inland Rigging team. "It was pretty racy," Dunkel said when talking about the track that is located on the Imperial Valley Fairgrounds. "It kind of had some dark spots and no walls. So, it is one of those scary tracks but you go back for more. I am hoping they fix the dark spots. Other than that, we really enjoyed it. We went third quick the last time and locked ourselves in the dash. It is going to be huge really with my limited experience. Really nice equipment has been getting me by, but now we have a lot of experience on the team, too. I think it is going to be a game changer for my driving and a huge help for us." "That was actually one of the huge deciding factors in teaming up with Brody," Dunkel continued when talking about the new setup. "Not only are we coming to the table with what it takes to go racing financially, but they have the rest of the package. Just looking at their experience, it was really a no-brainer to hook up with them. The experience that Brett has (Brody's father Brett) and Zac (past USAC/CRA Crew Chief of the Year Zac Bozanich) and Brody as a driver as well." This week's event comes after two straight cancelations for the Inland Rigging team. Two weeks ago both of the drivers were scheduled to compete in the USAC/CRA West Coast Series event at the Dirt Track at the Kern County Raceway. However, Mother Nature had other ideas and rained the event out. Last weekend Roa was slated to drive in the two-night USAC/CRA program at the Central Arizona Raceway. Mother Nature remained staunch again and rained out that event, too. Fortunately, the heavy rains that are slated for California this Friday and Saturday are far north of Imperial. For Roa, the weekend is kind of an unknown as he has never raced at Imperial and does not really think he can compare it to a track he has been to before. "You know, I was talking to Justin Grau and he kind of came up with the same thing," Roa said via phone on Thursday. "Kind of from the videos I have seen, I can't compare it to anything. Maybe Ventura because of how small it is. I don't know." "You don't," Roa continued with a laugh when asked how he sets the car up for a situation like that. "The car is ready. I went out to Tom and Christy's (Tom Dunkel and his wife, Christy) Saturday. Let the girls play some and worked on the cars. Basically got them ready other than set up and gear. So I have to put a gear in it when I get there and block it. I will do the set up when I see the track. I could do it now, but would probably change my mind when I see it. So, might as well do it then." Dunkel will be driving one of the team's new DRCs while Roa will be in a Maxim. Both will be powered by 360s in the open class show. Roa is not too worried about running the smaller engine. "I saw the entry list and was really surprised and excited for them (the promoters) to get those good cars there," Roa said. "I may not be so much (excited) with a 360 now but I don't know. I think with a 360 we can get it done. We have beat 410s with a 360 before. Tom and Christy, they have nice stuff. It is a little tiny track and if it slicks off, I am not worried about the 360 versus 410 thing there." Roa, Dunkel, and the other Open comp sprint car drivers on hand will practice and have a 25-lap main event on Friday night. On Saturday they will contest heat races, a B main if necessary, and the $5,000.00 to win 30-lap main event. This weekend's racing, which will be held in conjunction with the California Mid-Winter Fair, will begin at 6:00 p.m. each night. Fair gates will open at 5:00 p.m. on Friday and noon on Saturday. Kids 18 and under get into the races for free with their ticket to the fair. Admission for those 19 and over will require an extra ticket. The fairgrounds is located at 200 East 2nd Street in Imperial, California. Roa will be very busy with USAC/CRA races after this weekend's Imperial show. On Saturday, March 18th, he will be at Perris Auto Speedway for the Sokola Shootout. He will head to Central California for a race at Peter Murphy's King's Speedway in Hanford on the 24th and the famous Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare on the 25th. The 2019 USAC/Southwest champion will then take on "Arizona's Baddest Bullring," the Mohave Valley Raceway, on April 1st. Due to a heavy workload, Dunkel is not sure of the exact date of his next race after this weekend. As always, 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.

  NARC 2023 SEASON PREVIEW

  (3/5/23 - Alex Nieten) Sacramento, CA… Less than two weeks remain before the NARC 410 Sprint Cars commence their 2023 campaign, and the 63rd season for the historic series promises to be another full of memorable moments. The 2022 season brought us stories such as a back-to-back champion in the form of Dominic Scelzi, the prodigy that is Corey Day continuing to forge his path, the richest payday in NARC history claimed by Tyler Courtney, and many more. And the stars are aligning for 2023 to deliver even more important pages of the west coast racing history books. The schedule will take the tour to 24 races at 15 tracks in three states beginning with Silver Dollar Speedway's Mini Gold Cup on March 18th and concluding with Stockton Dirt Track's Tribute to GP on November 5th. Highlights of the calendar include the $10,000 to win Anthony Simone Classic (April 8th), the $8,300 to win Dennis Roth Classic (April 14-15th), the first trip to Antioch Speedway (April 29th) since 2017, $11,000 to win Peter Murphy Classic (May 12th-13th), Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial (June 3rd) another Pacific Northwest trip culminating in the $62,000 to win Dirt Cup (June 22nd-24th), $6,900 to win Howard Kaeding Classic (July 15th), and more. As the schedule unfolds so will a variety of storylines to watch throughout 2023. Can Scelzi Three-Peat? A three-peat has been accomplished by only two drivers in NARC's more than six decades of competition, and Dominic Scelzi will have the opportunity to become just the third as 2023 gets underway. Bill Sullivan was the first to claim three consecutive championships when he did so from 1964 to 1966. Unsurprisingly, the lone other occupant of this exclusive list is the series' winningest all-time driver, Brent Kaeding. BK strung together a whopping nine straight titles beginning in 1993 and concluding in 2001. Scelzi has been astonishingly consistent during his two championship campaigns. In his 42 series starts over the past two seasons, the Fresno native has posted 10 wins, bagged 26 podiums, and logged a 5.2 average finish. The 25-year-old is the only driver since the turn of the century to earn at least 13 podiums in two straight NARC seasons. One roster adjustment to the Scelzi Motorsports crew that aligns with "The Dominator's" elevated performance is the addition of Jimmy Carr. The legendary crew chief came aboard in 2020, and he's helped make the No. 41 one of the fastest machines on the west coast. Carr will be back in 2023 as he looks to help Scelzi make history. Bud's Back for More Last year Bud Kaeding finished on the NARC points podium for the seventh time in the last eight seasons, and he's planning to return with hopes of another consistent season. The pilot of the iconic BK Racing No. 69 is pursuing his second championship after claiming the 2017 title driving for Morrie Williams. The 2022 campaign proved to be a solid one for the Campbell native as he collected 14 top-10s on his way to a third-place effort in the standings. However, Kaeding will look to finish a little closer to the front in 2023 as his top-five tally was a little less than normal with three. Cox Returns For the first time since his Rookie of the Year campaign in 2016, Justyn Cox will be chasing a NARC title. During that season seven years ago, Cox collected 13 top-10s in 19 races on his way to a third-place effort in the points. That year he was driving for his family team, and in 2023 he'll be behind the wheel of the Bates-Hamilton Racing No. 42X. Cox is familiar with the BHR crew. The Clarksburg native filled in for an injured Tim Kaeding back in 2018 to help them secure the Sprint Car Challenge Tour owner's title, and the pairing nearly won Trophy Cup that year. They reunited in the second half of 2022 following the team parting ways with Kaeding. After some impressive results including Cox's personal best finish with NARC of second at Keller Auto Speedway, they decided to team up for this year with their sights on a NARC championship. Sophomore Year Ahead for Mittry After a successful debut season with NARC that resulted in claiming the 2022 Rookie of the Year honors, Max Mittry is returning for his sophomore campaign. Last year Mittry planned to run only select NARC events, but some early impressive results motivated him to take on the full campaign. The Redding native ended up earning a solid seven top-10s with a best effort of sixth in May at the Peter Murphy Classic finale. He also claimed quick time honors in just his second series appearance in April at Silver Dollar Speedway. The 17-year-old will be back aboard the Mittry Racing No. 2XM owned by his father, Demo Mittry. Bloomfield's Big Year At just 16 years of age, Dylan Bloomfield is planning on running a hefty slate of more than 70 races this year, and the centerpiece will be his first full NARC campaign. The teenager will be aboard the familiar Dave and Debbie Vertullo-owned No. 83V. Bloomfield took over driving duties of the Vertullo Motorsports machine late last year, and after some encouraging results Bloomfield was tabbed the team's full-time driver for 2023. The young talent out of Discovery Bay made nine NARC feature appearances last year with the final six of those being aboard the Vertullo car. Bloomfield picked up a pair of top-10s in 2022 including a ninth-place effort in just his third career series start at Stockton in August. His best series finish is currently an eighth at Keller Auto Speedway, which he earned last October. The Vertullo ride is known for helping cultivate some of sprint car racing's best talent, and Bloomfield hopes to be the next on the list of drivers who've made a mark behind the wheel. Third Time's a Charm for Aton? After his strong 2021 Rookie of the Year campaign, Billy Aton went into 2022 with high hopes, but he unfortunately ran into somewhat of a sophomore slump. Wild Bill's numbers dipped a little last season, but 2023 signals a fresh start and a chance to return to 2021 form when he impressed at a variety of tracks during his first full NARC campaign. The Benicia native will return to the seat of his family-owned No. 26 for his junior year on the tour. Plenty More On top of the drivers who've already committed, there are plenty of other talented California gassers who may partake in the entire 24-race campaign or a majority of it. Justin Sanders has won seven NARC features in the last two years, and he plans to tackle as many races as he can in 2023. The Aromas racer will again be teammates with Max Mittry as he pilots a Mittry Racing 2X machine. Perhaps the nation's most promising young talent, Corey Day, intends to compete in a majority of the NARC schedule aboard the Jason Meyers Racing No. 14. In just 27 career series starts, the Clovis phenom has already visited victory lane on six occasions. The team is geared up to run the duration of the schedule. One of the most consistent NARC forces throughout the years, Shane Golobic, promises to be a contender at every race he signs in for. The Fremont native owns podiums in roughly one-third of his career NARC feature starts and also boasts 14 victories. A car to watch will be the famed Tarlton Motorsports No. 21. They plan to run as much of the NARC campaign as possible with a variety of drivers. The only person currently confirmed for some seat-time in the all-black machine is Cole Macedo as he'll make a return to his roots with plenty of starts with Tarlton on his 2023 calendar. Following his personal-best second-place effort in the 2022 NARC standings, Willie Croft is scaling back slightly in 2023, but he still has plenty of NARC action on his schedule. The Colfax driver is currently sitting one win away from double-digit series victories. Three-time series champion, Jonathan Allard, intends to run a handful of NARC shows in 2023. Last year he reunited with the Williams Motorsports crew, and they combination plan to attend select events again this year. Many more regular faces in the NARC pit area over the years are sure to make many appearances including D.J. Netto, Colby Copeland, Joel Myers Jr., Chase Johnson, Mitchell Faccinto, Andy Forsberg, Tanner and Blake Carrick, and more. Expect to see Pacific Northwest locals take on California's best when the series heads north like Trey Starks, Tanner Holmes, Tyler Thompson, Logan Forler and others. Let's Go Racing The schedule is set. The drivers are ready after the off-season. The only thing left to do is throw the green flag on the 2023 NARC 410 Sprint Car campaign and see what happens as the pursuit for the next NARC champion unfolds.

  GRANT SEXTON DEBUTING A BRAND NEW SHAVER ENGINE THIS WEEK AT THE CENTRAL ARIZONA RACEWAY

  (Lakeside, CA, March 1, 2023) When rookie of the year contender Grant Sexton takes to the 3/8 of a mile Central Arizona Raceway for rounds three and four of the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series this Friday and Saturday, March 3rd and 4th, he will have more than 9,000 reasons to go fast. Those reasons will come from within a brand spanking new 900+ horsepower Shaver Racing engine. thumbnail.jpg Grant Sexton's Triple X Chassis #22 is now powered by a Shaver Racing Engine. SGR photo. At the season-opening race at the Cocopah Speedway on January 27th, Sexton was poised and ready for the 30-lap main event. However, when his car bumped off for the main, he realized that it was not firing on all cylinders. He gave the car a little more throttle and the problem just got worse. So, he pulled off the track. "As soon as the car fired off it wasn't firing on all cylinders or something," he stated at the time. "It just wasn't right. I knew it from the get-go. Once I got on the gas it got way worse so I pulled it in (before the race started). The motor ended up getting blown up." Tired of fooling around, Sexton Gatlin Racing decided it was time for a change. After all, the team had already put the 18-year-old in a brand-new Triple X chassis for Cocopah. It was time to match that chassis with a state-of-the-art brand new engine. They went to the top engine builder in dirt track racing, Shaver Racing Engines in Torrance, California, and bought a new bullet. The new engine will match up well with the new chassis and should give the Lakeside, California-based teen a shot of confidence when racing in the most competitive 410 sprint car series west of the Mississippi. The talent is there, and it is now matched with top-flight equipment. The package should give Sexton a better opportunity to show fans what he can do, just like he did in his short time in lightning sprints. Two years ago Sexton dominated the POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series winning more mains than any other driver and the series championship. The year before that when he was just 15, he dazzled the lightning sprint car world by winning the opening night main event against the top drivers in the USA and Canada in the POWRi Lightning National Championship in Missouri. Twenty-four hours later at the finale of the event, he led the race before finishing second. Sexton Gatlin Racing is going to have a busy opening month of the season. After this week in Arizona, Grant will be racing the 410 at the open competition event at the Imperial Valley Raceway on the 10th and 11th. At the same show, POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series champion Brent Sexton, Grant's father, will open defense of his title. He will be joined by his oldest son Dalton, San Diego's A.J. Bender, and possibly another young star. Grant will be in action on March 18th at Perris Auto Speedway's Sokola Shootout and will follow the USAC/CRA Series tour to Central California for races at Peter Murphy's Keller Auto Speedway on March 24th and Tulare's Thunderbowl Raceway on the 25th. Fans can see the Rookie of the Year contender in person at the Central Arizona Raceway this Friday and Saturday when gates open at 4:00 p.m. Racing will commence at 6:00. The track is located on the Pinal County Fairgrounds at 512 S Eleven Mile Corner Rd, Casa Grande, AZ (85194). The office phone is (602) 292-7607. For those who cannot make it to the track, both nights will be streamed live via pay-per-view on Speed Sport TV at the following link https://speedsport.tv/. SGR has been busy all winter getting ready for another successful year in 2023.

  BRODY ROA ROLLS INTO CENTRAL ARIZONA RACEWAY THIS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY

  (Cypress, CA, February 28, 2023) Inland Rigging team driver Brody Roa heads to the Central Arizona Raceway this Friday and Saturday, March 3rd and 4th, as the point leader in the 24th season of USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series racing. The veteran driver positioned himself at the top of the point heap after sweeping the season-opening main events at the Cocopah Speedway at the end of January. 328248567_556254649770164_2165585440967618448_n.jpg Brody Roa on his way to victory at Cocopah in January. AJ Johnson photo. Roa, who hails from Garden Grove, California, is no stranger to the track that is located an hour south of Phoenix. He has competed there multiple times over the years in 360 and 410 sprint cars. His last 410 appearances came in 2019 when he won the series championship in the now-defunct USAC Southwest Sprint Car Series. In three races that year, he had one second, a third, and a single fourth-place finish on the track. In 360 action, Roa posted a win in Jayson May's #8M in the inaugural CAS Sprint Car race at the track on September 6, 2020. "Brad Whitfield has taken it over," Roa said of the new Central Arizona Raceway promoter. "He puts a lot of work into Cocopah and I know he will put a lot of work into Casa Grande. I hope he doesn't touch it too much because I think it gets really racy when it slicks off. Especially three and four where it really starts crowning over the top. It does not have a peak. You have to have a lot of patience on the top to not get over it. That is what I have always kind of liked about that place, three and four. "One and two is really narrow and has a ton of banking," Roa continued. "You just kind of bury it in there. It has so much banking that it kind of sucks the car down onto the track. Kind of like when we were running the wing car. I think three and four is kind of the driver's end of the place. I hope he does not change much on that end of the racetrack. It is so round and has so much banking, I am not sure if there is anywhere out here (California) that compares to it." Roa carries a 14-point lead into this weekend's races and he is very pleased after his first two races in a DRC Chassis. Before January, he had never driven a DRC. The car and driver performed harmoniously with each other at Cocopah. In addition to capturing the first place prize money for both main events there, he won each of his heat races. In qualifying, he was third fastest on night one and eighth quickest on the second evening. "Nope," Roa laughed when asked if he made any changes to the DRC Chassis in preparations for the Casa Grande track. "We took it apart and changed engines. We had to put the second engine in for this race. That is the only thing we have changed. We had some issues and we were really lucky to finish the way we did at Cocopah with the first engine. Pretty big bummer for Tom and Christy (team owners Tom and Christy Dunkel) but at least we picked up the win." This weekend begins a very busy racing stretch for Roa. All told, he will be racing eight times in 29 days. After this week's competition at Central Arizona, he will head to the Imperial Valley Raceway where he will be joined by teammate Tom Dunkel in a two-night open competition show on March 10th and 11th. One week later, he will head to Perris Auto Speedway for the annual Sokola Shootout. The following week he will journey to Central California for a pair of races on the 24th and 25th. The event on the 24th will be at Peter Murphy's Keller Auto Speedway in Hanford. The following night the team will make the short journey to the legendary Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare. The veteran racer will close five straight weekends of racing when he heads to Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway on April 1st for round six of the USAC/CRA Series. "I like it for periods of time," Roa responded when asked about a busy racing docket. "The schedule though kind of gets too busy. I like to be home with Addison (his two-year-old daughter) and Tailor (his wife) and now we have a second one coming. Bringing the race team back home and putting it in my garage is going to be a lot of fun and good for the family." After the January races at Cocopah, Roa, Tailor, and Addison flew to Florida for a vacation at Walt Disney World. It was there in front of the Magic Kingdom that Addison announced she is going to be a big sister in July. "The due date is July 27th on grandma's birthday," the beaming dad said. "My wife's family are huge Disney fans. So we went and thought that would be a cool place to announce it. We did it with a little pair of pink checkered shoes for a little racing touch. We are very excited." For fans who would like to see Roa in person at the Central Arizona Raceway this Friday and Saturday, gates will open at 4:00 p.m. and racing will get underway at 6:00. The track is located on the Pinal County Fairgrounds at 512 S Eleven Mile Corner Rd, Casa Grande, AZ (85194). The office phone is (602) 292-7607. For those who cannot make it to the track, both nights will be streamed live via pay-per-view on Speed Sport TV at the following link https://speedsport.tv/.
