  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/.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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. 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.

  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. 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.

  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.

  (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.

  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. Fans can pick up a 2023 Inland Rigging Racing Team shirt from the crew after the races or online brodyroa.com.

  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.

  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.

  BRODY ROA HEADS TO TEXAS AND ARKANSAS FOR THIS WEEK'S USAC NATIONAL SPRINT CAR SERIES RACES

  (Cypress, CA, September 3, 2023) Ten weeks out of the cockpit in the middle of summer is a lot of time off for any race driver including current USAC/CRA point leader Brody Roa. That was how long it was going to be if Roa waited around for the next series race at Perris Auto Speedway on September 23rd. So, the veteran driver and Inland Rigging team owners Tom and Christy Dunkel have decided to scratch his competitive itch by heading to the USAC National Series races at the Devil's Bowl Speedway in Mesquite, Texas this Thursday, September 7th, and the Texarkana 67 Speedway in Texarkana, Arkansas on Friday, and Saturday September 8th and 9th. 361626712_6357550740947941_4537972806602874589_n.jpg Brody Roa and the Inland Rigging #17R are headed to Texas and Arkansas. Doug Allen photo. The last time Roa was on the track was at a USAC/CRA race at Perris on July 15th. On that night he won his third series main event in a row. That gave him eight wins in the first 13 USAC/CRA races of the year. In addition, in those 13 races, he has three second-place results and has only finished out of the top five one time. He has parlayed those finishes into a 151-point lead in the championship standings with only five races remaining this year. The layoff slowing Roa's current hot streak was not scheduled to be this long. In fact, there were four races on the original schedule between August 12th through September 9th. However, all of them were canceled. The Santa Maria Raceway has been shuttered all season long, and USAC/CRA races on the 59-year-old 1/3 mile on August 12th and September 9th were voided. A track for an August 26th TBA was never found. Lastly, the remnants of Hurricane Hillary forced the cancellation of the August 19th race at Perris. While the break in the schedule would not normally be well received, especially for a driver on a hot streak, it could not have come at a better time for Roa. Six weeks ago he and his wife Tailor welcomed their second daughter, Rylee Ann, into the world. The proud dad was more than occupied with helping with the new arrival and her two-year-old big sister, Addison Leanne. "It (the break in the schedule) really came at the right time," Roa confirmed. "The little one is six weeks old now and we have not had a race since she has been here. I got to spend a lot of time here (home) with everybody." While Roa is excited to take on a couple of new tracks, he is somewhat sad to see the Santa Maria shows disappear. Over the past three or four seasons he has been the driver to beat at the Santa Barbara County oval. "I have been really bummed about Santa Maria canceling all of these races," Roa lamented. "When I first started running sprint cars, I hated the place. It was always so rough it really did not fit my style. The last six or seven years it has really come around. It has been really good to us. We kind of got word that Santa Maria was not looking good (for September 9th). Tom (car owner Tom Dunkel) wanted to go racing and he said, 'I will tow your trailer out to Texas, let's do it.'" Devils Bowl is a famous racetrack that Roa has never raced on but is familiar with it from watching streamed races online. However, he had never even heard of Texarkana 67 before last week. "I have watched races from there (Devil's Bowl) for a while," Roa said. "The midget team I drove for (at the Chili Bowl), Kevin Ramey, I think he is the winningest driver there. It is a cool joint to go to with the history of it and how long it has been around. Just from watching it on video, it kind of looks like the size of Calistoga. Characteristically, it always looks smooth and slick and it does not have a wall, so I don't know if there is anything right now that I can compare it to. After Devils Bowl, we are headed to Texarkana 67 Speedway. That place I really do not have any knowledge on. I don't even know how big it is. I looked it up on Google Earth and it looks like there is a pile of dirt on turn three. I don't even know how long it has been there as this is the first time I have heard of it." "No, no," Roa laughed when asked if he would check out the tracks on a simulator. "The only one I had, I did not really use it as a practice tool. I am not really a simulator guy." In addition to all of his regular sponsors, Roa has one of his Chili Bowl Nationals sponsors on board for the three races. "Ever since the first time I ran the Chili Bowl with Kevin Ramey and Taylor Courtney, Jambo Barbeques was a big part of that deal," the 2019 USAC Southwest Series champion stated. They have all become similar to a Texas family to us. When we decided to go on this trip I called them and talked a bit. To be honest, I had not talked to them in a while. I said we are looking for a little bit of help getting there as traveling there is not cheap. They said they would help. We appreciate it as everything we get goes a long way." In addition, Roa has a t-shirt sale going on to help with expenses for the trip. 346796104_1206749826660886_1723353253831807847_n.jpg "We are doing 17% (the same number that is on both Inland Rigging sprint cars) off our t-shirts on brodyroa.com," Roa said. "All of those sales will help us get halfway across the country to the race. We are running that sale through Saturday (September 9th) at Texarkana." "I really want to thank Jambo Barbeque Pits for jumping on board for this event and all the rest of our sponsors as well," Roa intoned. "They all make it possible for trips like this to get us through the rest of the season as well. We appreciate everyone of them and everything they do for us. Without their support, we would not be racing." For fans who cannot make it to Texas or Arkansas, all three nights will be shown live from the start of hot laps through the end of the main events on Flo Racing.

Fans can pick up a 2023 Inland Rigging Racing Team shirt from the crew after the races or online brodyroa.com.

  TOMMY DUNKEL RETURNS TO SPRINT CAR ACTION THIS SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE VENTURA RACEWAY

  (Cypress, CA, August 31, 2023) After a prolonged time off due to a quirky schedule, a closed track, and because of inclement weather, Tommy Dunkel will be back in the cockpit of his immaculate Inland Rigging #17A this Saturday night in the VRA race at the Ventura Raceway. It will be his first time racing since he recorded an impressive eighth-place finish in the July 15th USAC/CRA race at Perris Auto Speedway. Dunkel's absence from racing over the last nine weeks was none of his own doing. USAC/CRA had two races slated since his last appearance with the series. He could have made the main event in one of them and still be eligible for the series 2024 Rookie of the Year award. However, the August 9th race at the Santa Maria Raceway was canceled as the track has been shuttered all season long. One week later, he planned on racing at Perris Auto Speedway, but the incoming remnants of Hurricane Hillary put the kibosh on those hopes and the race was canceled. In addition, the Ventura Raceway has been on a two-month hiatus due to the fairgrounds hosting the X Games and August's Ventura County Fair. Saturday's excursion to Ventura will see Dunkel competing on the track for the fifth time in 2023. On April 8th he raised some eyebrows in the sprint car world when he led every lap he was on the track by leading both his heat and the VRA main event green to checkers. Five weeks later in the USAC West Coast Series, he was a shoo-in for a top-five finish when he was clobbered by another car and had to restart at the back. From there, with just a few laps remaining, he raced his way forward to finish 11th. On June 17th, a tangle in the USAC West Coast Series event knocked him out of the race and burdened him with a 19th-place finish. At his last outing at the famous venue where the waves of the Pacific Ocean break a stone's throw away from the track, he came home second in the VRA main. "I think it is just seat time," Dunkel responded on why he has looked so good at Ventura. "Seat time and trusting my equipment. We have some really nice stuff underneath us right now. And the guys, Zac (Bozanich), Brody (Roa), Brett (Roa), and Joe (Joe Gibb). Those guys are really working hard to get me comfortable. With their years of experience, they can make any driver comfortable. Those are the real key factors." The top-of-the-line equipment Dunkel and teammate Brody Roa are running is Shaver Engines, DRC Chassis', and CSI Shocks. Dunkel refers to the equipment and the guidance of USAC/CRA point leader Roa and his crew as "The Magic Sauce." He figures he has only started about 30 sprint car races in his career. Thus, the help from the team and the equipment is a big boost to his racing endeavors. "I have been out of the racecar way longer than I want to be," Dunkel laughed about his nine weeks off. "We are going to do a little karting towards the end of the week just to knock the rust off. My last race was the July 15th deal at Perris. It is long overdue and we are ready to get after it. We have been doing our standard maintenance. We have been able to take the cars down just a little further than we normally do since we have been off such a long time. It has almost been like a mini off-season." If you want to see Dunkel in person on Saturday, make a trip of it and enjoy a day at the beach before walking a couple hundred feet to the track. Gates will open at 3:00 p.m. with racing at 5:30. Adults tickets are $18.00. Seniors 60 and over, military with ID, and students with ID get in for $15.00. Kids 12 and under are admitted 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. Fans can pick up a 2023 Inland Rigging Racing Team shirt from the crew after the races or online at the Roa/Dunkel Inland Rigging team merchandise site. You can see the shirt design in the photo below. The shirts will be available in the pits or online at the following link https://bit.ly/3IDLNEZ.
