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

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

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

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