- Eddie Tafoya Jr. Matches Season-Best with 5th-Place Finish at Perris Auto Speedway
Chino, CA - June 26, 2025 — Eddie Tafoya Jr. matched his best finish of the 2025 Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series season last Saturday night by placing fifth at Perris Auto Speedway. The strong showing marked his third consecutive top 10 finish in the prestigious 21-year-old open-wheel series. Piloting the immaculate Specialty Fasteners #51T, Tafoya set the tone early by qualifying sixth fastest against a stacked field. He backed up that performance with a fourth-place result in the third eight-lap heat race on the breezy evening. Thanks to his stellar qualifying run, the Chino Hills, California native earned the pole position for the 30-lap main event. The 2018 PAS Young Guns Champion and 2019 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year wasted no time asserting himself, charging into the lead as starter Steve Russell waved the green flag. Tafoya, who turns 28 on July 9th, set a blistering pace and led the opening seven laps before slipping to second. As the race settled into the gritty, elbows-up action that Perris is known for, he remained in the top five and became embroiled in a fierce battle for position. His determination paid off, as he held strong to secure fifth at the checkered flag, matching his February 22nd result at Mohave Valley Raceway. While Tafoya is not chasing points in 2025, his consistency continues to impress. Saturday's finish vaulted him to 12th in the championship standings—remarkable considering he has entered only seven of the first ten events on the calendar. Fans can follow Tafoya on Instagram eddietafoya51. Tafoya and the #51T team would like to thank Specialty Fasteners, BR Motorsports, King Racing Products, Gasper Transportation, CMI Precision Machining, Owen's Insurance Services, Keen Concrete, DRC Chassis, and Rider Racing Engines for supporting their 2025 racing endeavors.

- Good Night with a Rough Ending for Brody Roa
Cypress, CA - June 26, 2025 — It's not often that a race car driver crashes out of a race but still considers the night a success. That was the case for Brody Roa last Saturday night when the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars visited Perris Auto Speedway. Despite an unfortunate finish, the positives of the evening far outweighed the negatives, and the 2023 series champion is already looking forward to his next appearance at the historic Southern California oval on July 19. The race marked Roa's fourth appearance at Perris in 2025. With the same chassis he used to claim the 2023 series title and a Dash 12 engine purchased last year by his uncle, the team had been searching for the right combination through the first three races at The PAS this season. While his overall performances weren't terrible—finishing fifth, sixth, and eighth—the results weren't up to his usual standards. So, what do you do when you're searching for past successes? You return to the setup that got you there in the past. Roa and his team, led by his father Brett and crewman Joe Gibb, made some adjustments, and the improvement was evident from the start. In qualifying, Roa placed fourth with a lap time of 16.727, showing that he was on the right track. "The car was definitely better on Saturday," Roa said. "To be honest, we just went back to basics. I think the first couple of races I was so in my head, maybe about not having the horsepower we used to have. On Saturday, I said, 'This is not working. Let's just go back to basics.' And it worked. It was comfortable, carried speed, and I felt good in the car. That is what we have been striving for." "To start the year, I was trying to free the car up enough to let the engine get up and run," the second-generation driver continued. "We did not have a good balance on the car setup. We went back to stock and put a good balance on the car to what I was feeling from a few years ago. Everything started clicking again." Starting fifth in the opening eight-lap heat race, Roa, behind the wheel of his bright green #91R, made quick progress, moving up to finish fourth. This performance secured him a starting position in the first three rows of the main event, giving him an opportunity to challenge for the win. With high hopes after a strong qualifying and heat race, Roa lined up on the outside of row two for the 30-lap main. From the drop of the green flag, he wasted no time, moving into second place. By lap three, he was in the lead, charging off turn two with confidence. However, things turned sour in a hurry. "I can make excuses all day about how I got in there, but the end of the story is I got her too sideways, locked the engine up, and it didn't turn back over again," Roa commented about his early exit. "I collected Matt Mitchell in that mistake. That is not what we were looking to do. When we fired off, I ran a lap on the bottom behind Eddie (early race leader Eddie Tafoya Jr.). I hate running the bottom. I went to the top and started cleaning it off. Matt got by me for a couple of laps. I got the top comfortable and rolling and got back by him. I got outside of Eddie for the lead in one and two, and he went to the top in three and four. I went to cut back across three in four, hit some moisture in four, and got in the rough stuff, and it jumped sideways and stopped." Despite the early ending, Roa and his team are focused on refining their setup even more and building on the momentum from the positive strides made on Saturday. While the crash was disappointing, the performance up until that point showed that Roa and the team are on the verge of breaking through. "That is the speed we are used to, to be honest," he said. "Not that we were bad the first few races, but you cannot start 12th, 13th, or 14th. We put the car back to what I am used to. To put me starting sixth, seventh, eighth or ninth, you can win from there. But when you start 12th, by the time you get past some of the midpack guys, the leader is gone. Saturday was a definite step forward." Stay tuned as Brody Roa looks to continue his quest to reclaim the top spot at Perris Auto Speedway on July 19.

- RICKY LEWIS WINS WILD USAC/CRA SPRINT CAR WAR AT PERRIS
After seven feature lap lead changes and possibly seven more unofficial swaps for the top spot, Ricky Lewis of Oxnard, California emerged victorious at Perris Auto Speedway.
- Eddie Tafoya Jr. Returns to His Home Track, Perris Auto Speedway, This Saturday
Chino, CA - June 19, 2025 — Popular sprint car racer Eddie Tafoya Jr. will return to action this Saturday night, June 21st, when the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series visits Perris Auto Speedway. The historic half-mile clay oval in Riverside County is considered the home track for both the 21-year-old series and the Chino Hills, California native. Saturday's event was originally scheduled to be Tafoya's sixth series appearance of the year at Perris. However, two events earlier in the season were canceled due to rain. That means this weekend marks just the fourth 2025 outing at the track, located less than 30 minutes from Tafoya's home. Tafoya, who drives the eye-catching #51T sprint car, recorded his best Perris finish of the year on April 5th when he placed eighth. He backed that up with a solid ninth-place run in the prestigious Salute to Indy on May 24th. His top finish overall in the USAC/CRA Series so far this year came at Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway, where he finished fifth. Saturday's race will be Tafoya's 14th start of the 2025 season, spanning the USAC/CRA Series, the USAC National Sprint Car Series, and the Ultimate Sprint Car Series. His most recent appearance came two weeks ago when the Ultimate Series competed at Bakersfield Speedway. Tafoya recorded another top 10 finish when he placed ninth that night. Though Tafoya is not chasing points full-time in 2025, he has entered six of the first nine USAC/CRA races. Despite missing three events, he still sits 15th in the championship standings — a testament to his consistency and competitive performances. To see Tafoya in person on Saturday, spectator gates open at 5:00 p.m., and the first green flag will wave at 7:00. For more information, visit www.perrisautospeedway.com Ticket Information 13 and over: $35 Kids (6-12): $10 Children 5 and under: FREE Fairgrounds Parking: $20 Perris Auto Speedway is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds at 18700 Lake Perris Drive in the City of Perris. Fans can follow Tafoya on Instagram eddietafoya51. Tafoya and the #51T team would like to thank Specialty Fasteners, BR Motorsports, King Racing Products, Gasper Transportation, CMI Precision Machining, Owen's Insurance Services, Keen Concrete, DRC Chassis, and Rider Racing Engines for supporting their 2025 racing endeavors.

- Brody Roa Returns to Perris Auto Speedway This Saturday
Cypress, CA - June 19, 2025 — After a brief break from competition, veteran Southern California sprint car star Brody Roa is set to return to action this Saturday, June 21, when the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series makes its latest stop at its home track, Perris Auto Speedway. It will mark Roa's first race since competing with the Ultimate Sprint Car Series at Bakersfield Speedway on June 7. Roa, the 2023 USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series Champion, made headlines last year with back-to-back USCS wins on the old Bakersfield Speedway. But the June 7 event brought a new twist—while the track was still called Bakersfield Speedway, it had undergone major changes. Over the winter, the original facility was relocated to Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway complex, on the opposite side of town. The shift didn't just involve a change in venue. The track surface was reconfigured between turns two and three over the winter, presenting drivers with an unfamiliar challenge. Except for a couple of rainouts, Roa was racing a complete show there for the first time since October 15, 2022. Thus, it was essentially a new track for him. Despite the learning curve, the Garden Grove, California native showed his typical consistency. He qualified fifth in his group and finished second in his heat race. Driving his striking #91R, Roa started 10th in the main event and maneuvered through tricky conditions to secure a solid seventh-place finish. That run gave him five top-10 finishes in six starts so far in 2025. Roa's most recent outing at Perris came during the prestigious Salute to Indy on Memorial Day weekend, where he finished eighth. He previously captured the event title in 2021. With a more relaxed schedule in 2025, Roa is savoring the opportunity to race at select events like Saturday's showdown at Perris, where he remains a fan favorite and perennial threat to win. Spectator gates at Perris open at 5:00 p.m., and the first green flag will wave at 7:00. For more information, visit www.perrisautospeedway.com Ticket Information 13 and over: $35 Kids (6-12): $10 Children 5 and under: FREE Fairgrounds Parking: $20 Advance tickets for Saturday's race and all PAS events are available at tix.com.

- Sprint Cars Headline Saturday's Racing Program at Perris Auto Speedway
PERRIS, CA (June 19, 2025) — The Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars return to Perris Auto Speedway this Saturday night for what was originally scheduled to be their sixth appearance of the 2025 season. However, due to weather cancellations on February 13 and April 26, this weekend's event will mark only the fourth race for the popular series at the famous Southern California half-mile clay oval. So far in 2025, Oxnard's Ricky Lewis has dominated the USAC/CRA action at Perris, winning two of the first three main events — including the prestigious Salute to Indy over Memorial Day weekend. The only other winner this year at the track is 20-year-old David Gasper of Goleta, who captured the season opener on February 13. Lewis, who has been commuting from Indiana to compete in the series this summer, enters Saturday night with a slim 18-point lead over defending series champion R.J. Johnson of Laveen, Arizona. Gasper currently sits third in the standings, with A.J. Bender of San Diego and Austin Williams of Corona — a new father — rounding out the top five. All five are expected to be in action on Saturday. Across the full nine-race USAC/CRA season to date, only Lewis and Gasper have multiple wins. Lewis tops the chart with five victories, while Gasper has two. Jake Swanson of Anaheim and Templeton's Kaleb Montgomery have one win each. Joining the Sprint Cars in Saturday's exciting triple-header program are the PASSCAR Super Stocks and Street Stocks. In the Super Stock division, a fierce battle is brewing between Chuck Becker of Yucaipa and Tyson Talkington, a second-generation racer from Riverside. The two are tied atop the standings. Talkington, 38, won the championship in 2022, while Becker tied for the title last year with Buena Park's Billy Griffin. Griffin, who missed the first race of the season, will return this Saturday in his familiar white and orange #2A. In the Street Stock division, Shawn Estes of Riverside leads the championship chase after winning the first two races of the year. Estes is seeking his first Perris Auto Speedway title since 2012. Trailing him by just six points is George Leventis of Rancho Palos Verdes. Evan Sennett (Riverside), Chad Mahony (Yorba Linda), and Tim "Shaggy" Shadduck (Hemet) round out the top five. Spectator gates open at 5:00 p.m., and the first green flag will wave at 7:00. Come out for an exciting night of dirt track racing and clean family fun!

- PASSCAR Super and Street Stocks Join Sprint Cars Saturday at Perris
PERRIS, CA (June 17, 2025) — PASSCAR Stock Car Racing returns to Perris Auto Speedway this Saturday night, June 21st, when the popular Super Stocks and Street Stocks join the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars for a tripleheader show on the famous half-mile clay oval. It will mark the second appearance of the season for the Super Stocks and the third for the Street Stocks. So far this year, Mother Nature has been the biggest winner in the Super Stock class. Inclement weather has wiped out two events, making Saturday's race just the second for the division in 2025. The only appearance of the supers thus far this year came 2 ½ months ago on April 5th, when Riverside's Tyson Talkington edged out Yucaipa's Chuck Becker in a competitive 20-lap main event. Thanks to Becker's stronger performance in the preliminary heat races that night, the two drivers enter Saturday's showdown tied atop the championship point standings. Despite his impressive showing in April, Talkington—a 38-year-old father of two and the 2022 Super Stock champion at The PAS, probably will not be a factor for the title this year. He currently oversees the kids racing classes at Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway, which sometimes has conflicts with the PAS schedule. That commitment will keep him from running a full season at Perris. "We are going to bring the Super Stock out and I am going to be doing double duty in a Street Stock on Saturday as well," Talkington said while prepping his cars on Tuesday. "I run the kids' program at Mohave, and when they race, I have to be there. Even if it is a night when I am not racing but the kids are racing, like say with the sprint cars, I have to be there." His connection to the kids' classes began when The PAS hosted the So Cal Oval Karters Club on Saturday afternoons. His daughter Sadielee turned in her first laps on the infield track in a mini dwarf car at age five. In 2022, the same year Tyson won the Super Stock title, Sadielee captured the Mohave Mini Dwarf Sportsman championship. Now nine years old, she is competing in the Mini Dwarf Masters division and currently sits second in the standings at Mohave. That gives her bragging rights over her father, who is sixth in the IMCA Modified class at the same track. A former motocross and speedway motorcycle racer, Talkington has turned into a top-notch, adaptable auto racer, driving and winning in both IMCA Modifieds and Super Stocks. Proof of that point was his winning the track championships in both classes at Mohave Valley last year. After the kids, Modifieds are now his main racing focus. "I noticed that in the modifieds, you can go to a lot more tracks to race at," he said via phone. "We got hold of one and have just been having fun with it. I love trying out different racetracks, seeing new things, and meeting different people." The racing tradition continues with the youngest member of the family, 4-year-old Brooks, who is eager to follow in his sister's tire tracks. Brooks has been practicing in a go-kart on a small dirt oval behind their home in a go-kart that belonged to a family friend. Talkington acquired one of the arrive-and-drive go-karts from California Speedway when it closed. Now he cuts laps with Brooks on the backyard oval. He thinks Brooks will debut competitively at Mohave Valley when the 2025 season resumes in September. "I just enjoy racing," Talkington answered when asked what his racing future holds. "My daughter enjoys doing it, and it is something we can do together. So, as long as we are having fun, we are going to keep doing it. I really hope that someday she steps up and we can race in the same class. She asked me the other day what would be next when her time comes and she ages out (of the mini dwarfs). I guess we will get to that point when it comes and just go from there." Currently, Talkington's shop houses five race cars: two Super Stocks, one IMCA Modified, and two IMCA Stock Cars. This Saturday at Perris, the team will field a Super Stock and Stock Car for Talkington and also bring out the second Super Stock for longtime PAS competitor and Talkington's father-in-law, "Hot Rod" John Caley. In the PASSCAR Street Stocks, Shawn Estes of Riverside has been the class of the field through the first two races, winning both main events. The veteran driver has a six-point lead over Rancho Palos Verdes racer George Leventis after two races. Third spot, only five points out of second, is Ohio native and current Riverside resident Evan Sennett. Spectator gates will open at 5:00 p.m. with racing getting underway at 7:00 p.m. For more information, visit www.perrisautospeedway.com Spectator gates will open at 5:00 p.m. and the Steve Russell Green flag will start the first race of the night at 7:00.

- EDDIE TAFOYA JR. SCORES ANOTHER TOP-10 FINISH AT BAKERSFIELD
Chino, CA - June 12, 2025 — Eddie Tafoya Jr. turned in another solid performance last Saturday night, recording a top-10 finish in his first Ultimate Sprint Car Series start of 2025 in the Salute to Bob Vermeer and Narcie Ferriera on the Bakersfield Speedway at Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway. The Chino Hills, California driver, who placed third in the USCS championship standings in 2024, steered his eye-catching #51T sprint car to a hard-earned ninth-place finish in the talent-packed 30-lap main event. It was the second straight ninth-place finish dating back to the Salute to Indy at Perris Auto Speedway on Memorial Day weekend. A strong field of 33 competitors signed in for the event on the recently revamped clay oval. In qualifying, Tafoya stopped the clock at 16.888 seconds, placing him third in his group and 12th overall on the night. Lining up on the inside of row two for his eight-lap heat race, the 27-year-old racer quickly moved into second place on lap one and held the position to the checkered flag, securing a direct transfer to the A-Main. Starting ninth in the 24-car feature, Tafoya charged as high as sixth during a chaotic early stretch as drivers fiercely battled for position. Throughout the race—interrupted by four caution periods—he stayed inside the top 10 and ultimately finished ninth. The performance marked his fourth top-10 result in the past seven races. Tafoya will take this weekend off but is set to return to action on Saturday, June 21st, when the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series visits his home track, Perris Auto Speedway Fans can follow Tafoya on Instagram eddietafoya51. Tafoya and the #51T team would like to thank Specialty Fasteners, BR Motorsports, King Racing Products, Gasper Transportation, CMI Precision Machining, Owen's Insurance Services, Keen Concrete, DRC Chassis, and Rider Racing Engines for supporting their 2025 racing endeavors.

- Popular LKQ Pick Your Part Night of Destruction Returns to Perris Saturday
PERRIS, CA (June 10, 2025) — The "Craziest Show on Dirt" roars back into action this Saturday night, June 14th, as the wildly popular Night of Destruction, presented by LKQ Pick Your Part, returns to Perris Auto Speedway. Gates open at 5:00 p.m., and the smashing, crashing mayhem begins at 7:00. Fans are encouraged to arrive early for the on-track autograph and candy giveaway session with all the drivers from 5:15 to 6:00 p.m.. Adding to the excitement, the track's "Happy Hour" will run from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m., featuring half-price Budweiser Beer and two-for-one Pepsis. Figure 8 Title Battle Heats Up A can't-miss matchup awaits in the Figure 8 division, where longtime rivals Earl Cox Jr. of Norco and Jesse Gordon of Beaumont will clash once again. Over the nine years The PAS has tracked Figure 8 points, Cox has claimed four championships, while Gordon has earned three. The only other champions in that time are Klint Keenan (2016) and Roger Storey (2022). Cox, the inaugural champ in 2015, has also won titles in 2021, 2023, and 2024. Gordon, beloved by fans for piloting the Bat Mobile, reigned from 2017 to 2019. Heading into Saturday's race, Gordon leads the standings by three points, having won the first two races of the season. Cox responded with a win on May 4. Veteran Douglas Schattilly of Whittier sits third in the standings. Demo Cross: A Family Feud In the Demo Cross division, it's a household rivalry between Erin and Brett Wayland of Corona. Erin made a splash by winning her debut race in the season opener, followed by two runner-up finishes, giving her a stellar 1.66 average finish. Brett claimed victory in the third race of the year, while two-time defending champion Trebor Stephens won in April. Heading into Saturday, Erin holds a nine-point lead over Brett, with Stephens third in the standings. Other Divisions: Tight Battles and Familiar Names The unpredictable, metal-twisting madness of Trailer Figure 8 racing is headlined by the Hoffarths from Hemet. Kyle Hoffarth holds a slim nine-point lead over Nicholas Hoffarth heading into this Saturday's chaos-filled showdown. Two-time defending class champion Michael Schattilly of Whittier and veteran contender Rob Multhaupt of Orange are locked in a tie for third, both hungry to shake up the standings. In Mini Stocks, Darrin Green and Steven Green Sr., last year's champion, are locked in a tie for the points lead, with Chad Peterson of Rancho Cucamonga just six points back. The Overall Iron Man championship (combined performance across all divisions) is currently led by Multhaupt, who boasts a commanding 48-point advantage over Kyle Hoffarth and Douglas Schattilly, who are tied for second. In the always-entertaining Double Deckers, the Bug Ya' Later team of Lonnie and Cale Skillman leads the Ghost Busters duo of John Flowers and Kevin Sauceda by 12 points.

- "Shugah" Shane Sexton Makes First Lightning Sprint Start of 2025 at Barona this Saturday
Warner Springs, CA — Warner Springs racer "Shugah" Shane Sexton will return to his racing roots this Saturday night, June 7th, when he straps back into a SoCal Lightning Sprint Car for the first time in 2025 at Barona Speedway. Sexton, who honed his skills racing mini dwarfs and Pintos on the San Diego County clay oval, will be making his season debut in a division he's long been competitive in. "Barona is where it all started for me," Sexton said. "Every time I go back, it feels like home. I'm really looking forward to getting back in a lightning sprint and seeing what we can do." Saturday's event marks Sexton's return to the quarter-mile oval where he competed five times in Lightning Sprints in 2024. Despite racing in less than half the SoCal Lightning Sprint Car Series (SCLS) schedule, he finished an impressive ninth in the championship standings. In those five starts, he never finished outside the top 10 and secured four top five results, including a pair of runner-up finishes to close out the season. "We had a strong finish to last year," Sexton said. "The car was really good, and I felt more comfortable every time out. Hopefully, we can pick up where we left off." A proven talent in Lightning Sprints, Sexton's standout year came in 2022. He captured preliminary wins at two of the division's marquee events—the Clay Cup in Deming, Washington, and the Cal Cup at Lemoore Raceway in Central California. That same season, he also placed second in a feature at Central Missouri Speedway. "Those wins in 2022 were a huge confidence boost," he reflected. "Lightning sprints are super competitive, and when you win at races like the Clay Cup or Cal Cup, it really means something." Saturday will be Sexton's fourth overall race of the 2025 season. His previous three outings have come in the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series at Perris Auto Speedway. Each time, the 20-something wheelman has improved on his starting position in the 30-lap mains. Most recently, he charged from 21st to 15th in the prestigious Salute to Indy on May 24th—his best finish so far this year in 410 sprint car competition. "Running with USAC/CRA is helping me grow as a driver," Sexton stated. "It's tough competition every night, and that kind of seat time helps me no matter what kind of car I'm in." Event Information: Location: Barona Speedway 5.8 miles north of Barona Casino on Wildcat Canyon Road, between mile markers 11.0 and 11.5 Gates Open: 2:00 p.m. Racing Begins: 6:00 p.m. Adult Admission: $20.00 Kids (7-17): $10.00 Seniors, Military, EMTs: $10.00 Kids 6 & Under: FREE Family Pack (2 Adults, 2 Kids): $50.00 Parking: FREE Up next for Sexton after this weekend, there will be a return to USAC/CRA competition at Perris Auto Speedway on June 21st.

Chino, CA - June 3, 2025 — Eddie Tafoya Jr. will make his first appearance of the 2025 season at the newly relocated Bakersfield Speedway at Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway this Saturday night. The event, a marquee stop on the Ultimate Sprint Car Series calendar, will honor Bob Vermeer and Narcie Ferriera. While Saturday marks his debut at Bakersfield this season, it will also be his first race of 2025 with the USCS. The Chino Hills, California, racer is no stranger to the old Bakersfield Speedway location, but only began competing at the newer Kern facility last year. After a May rainout, he made three starts at the venue in 2024, including a pair of USAC/CRA events where he posted solid fourth and ninth-place finishes.

In 2024, Tafoya turned in a strong showing with the USCS, finishing third in the final point standings with three top-10 results in eight starts. His highlight came on June 15th at Santa Maria Speedway, where he finished second in the main event. Big changes have greeted racers and fans in 2025 at the reimagined Bakersfield Speedway. The track surface has been reconfigured from turn two through turn three, while upgraded infrastructure includes a brand-new press box, expanded grandstands, modern restrooms, and state-of-the-art lighting. The track, located just off Interstate 5, offers an improved experience for both competitors and fans. Though this weekend is his first USCS outing of the year, Tafoya has already logged a dozen starts in 2025 across Florida, Arizona, and California with the USAC National and USAC/CRA series. His best finish so far was a fifth-place run at Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway on February 22 in a 30-lap USAC/CRA feature.

- Brody Roa Finishes Eighth in Salute to Indy at Perris
Cypress, CA - May 30, 2025 - Veteran sprint car driver Brody Roa piloted his bright green #91R to an eighth place finish last Saturday night in the USAC/CRA Salute to Indy at Perris Auto Speedway. The result marked his fourth top 10 finish in five starts this season, reinforcing a consistent and competitive start to his 2025 campaign. Roa was one of 22 USAC/CRA drivers who converged on the famed Southern California half-mile clay oval for one of the most prestigious and longest running sprint car races in the country. He qualified 12th quickest on a mild West Coast evening, setting the stage for a solid night of racing. Starting inside row two in the third heat race, the Garden Grove, CA native powered to a convincing win in the 10-lapper, drawing cheers from the fans. It was a strong early showing from Roa, who ranks fourth on the all-time USAC/CRA win list with 21 career victories. In a special nod to the following day's Indianapolis 500, the traditional four-wide salute was replaced by a unique three-wide parade lap before the 30-lap feature event. Roa rolled off from the outside of the sixth row and, in typical fashion, executed a smooth and calculated drive, steadily working his way forward to finish eighth. It was his third Perris start of the year, and notably, he has advanced in position during each main event appearance at the track in 2025. Roa, the 2023 USAC/CRA Series Champion and 2021 Salute to Indy winner, will now take a short break before returning to action when the USAC/CRA Series heads back to Perris Auto Speedway on June 21. For more information on Brody Roa, follow Brody Roa Racing - BR Performance on Facebook or visit www.brodyroa.com Roa would like to thank his 2025 sponsors, "Biker" Bruce Fischer, Burris Racing, ALR Virtual Services, Caltrol, Molecule, and Wilwood Disc Brakes.

- USAC/CRA SPRINT CARS ADDED TO WORLD OF OUTLAWS SHOW; SCHEDULE UPDATES
PERRIS, CA (May 30, 2025) - Perris Auto Speedway promoter Don Kazarian has announced a major update to the 2025 schedule. The Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars have been added to the September 13th World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Cars event. In addition, the fan-favorite LKQ Pick Your Part Night of Destruction has been given an end-of-the-season show on November 15th. At the same time, Kazarian sadly confirmed the immediate discontinuation of The PAS Senior and Young Gun Sprint Car Series due to declining participation. Originally scheduled to appear on September 6th, the USAC/CRA Sprint Cars have been rescheduled to join the World of Outlaws event the following week. The September 6th date is now a TBA, with updates expected soon. "We are pleased to add the USAC/CRA Sprint Cars to the World of Outlaws show," said Kazarian. "It will supply fans with two of the best forms of dirt track racing—the fastest dirt track sprint cars in the world and the thrilling, back-it-in style of the USAC/CRA Series." The September 13th show will mark the 23rd World of Outlaws appearance at Perris, dating back to Mark Kinser's win on November 1, 1996. The series last visited the Riverside County half mile on March 26, 2022, with David Gravel taking the victory. In the first 22 appearances at The PAS: Mark Kinser leads with seven wins (the first seven WoO races at the track) Daryn Pittman follows with three victories David Gravel, Danny Lasoski, and Joey Saldana each have two Aaron Reutzel, Paul McMahan, Kerry Madsen, Jason Myers, Craig Dollansky, and Johnny Herrera have each won once Notably, World of Outlaws legends Steve Kinser, Donny Schatz, and Sammy Swindell never reached Victory Lane at Perris. Tickets for the exciting Outlaws-USAC/CRA doubleheader are available now at https://bit.ly/42Dssil. Kazarian also announced the addition of the November 15th Night of Destruction, a staple event that has grown in popularity each season. "It will be a fitting way to end our 29th season," he said. "Night of Destruction shows have become wildly popular across the country, and Perris is no exception. It's our most popular event and appeals especially to families with young children —the future of our crowds." In more somber news, Kazarian confirmed that The PAS Senior and Young Gun Sprint Car Series will be discontinued for the remainder of 2025. "I have decided to cancel the remaining PAS Senior and Young Gun Sprint Cars for 2025 because of the lack of participation," said Kazarian. Introduced in 2013, the classes have seen steadily decreasing car counts. This season, the Senior Sprints fielded five cars on opening night and only four on each of the following two events. The Young Guns started the year with one entry on opening night. At the second race, only two Young Guns entered, and none showed up last Saturday. Tickets for all June events are available online at www.tix.com and at the gate on race nights. With plenty of seating, fans are encouraged to bring the whole family for an unforgettable night of high-speed thrills and hometown racing heroes. Tickets for the September 13th return of the World of Outlaw NOS Energy Drink Sprint Cars and the USAC/CRA Sprint Cars at The PAS are available at https://bit.ly/42Dssil.

- EDDIE TAFOYA JR. FINISHES NINTH IN SALUTE TO INDY AT PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY
May 27, 2025 - Chino, CA — Eddie Tafoya Jr. secured a ninth-place finish in the 30-lap Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Salute to Indy on Saturday night at Perris Auto Speedway. The result marked Tafoya's second consecutive ninth-place showing in the historic race, first contested in 1948. The 27-year-old driver from Chino Hills, California, turned in a qualifying lap of 16.679, placing him 11th out of a 22-car field at the West Coast's premier half-mile clay oval. Lining up on the inside of row two in the Silberman Solar/Factory Wraps second heat race, Tafoya navigated one of the evening's wildest preliminaries to claim a decisive victory in the 10-lap event—his first USAC/CRA heat race win of the 2025 season. Starting 11th in the main event, Tafoya advanced a couple of positions forward to finish ninth. The result marks his third top-10 finish in six USAC/CRA appearances so far this year. It also nearly matched his career-best Salute to Indy finish of eighth. That result came in the 2022 Salute to Indy. Up next, Tafoya is scheduled to compete in the Ultimate Sprint Car Series at Bakersfield Speedway at Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway on June 7. Last season, the 2019 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year and 2018 Perris Auto Speedway Young Guns Champion was set to race at Kern four times, though the May 11 event was rained out. In the three remaining appearances, he recorded finishes of fourth, eighth, and ninth. Perhaps most impressively, nearly a year to the day of next week's race, he raced in Bloomington, Indiana, on a Friday, then flew back to Southern California to place fourth in the USAC/CRA main at Kern the very next night. Following Kern, Tafoya will return to Perris Auto Speedway—his home track—on June 21. Fans can follow Tafoya on Instagram eddietafoya51. Tafoya and the #51T team would like to thank Specialty Fasteners, BR Motorsports, King Racing Products, Gasper Transportation, CMI Precision Machining, Owen's Insurance Services, Keen Concrete, DRC Chassis, and Rider Racing Engines for supporting their 2025 racing endeavors.

- "Shugah" Shane Sexton Set to Return to Perris Auto Speedway for Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Salute To Indy
Warner Springs, CA — Sprint car fans, get ready: "Shugah" Shane Sexton is back in action this Saturday, May 24, at the historic Perris Auto Speedway for the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series Salute to Indy. This event, steeped in tradition, marks the latest chapter of a race that was first held 77 years ago. Sexton, who hails from Warner Springs, California, was scheduled to make his third start of the season at Perris on April 26. However, Mother Nature intervened and the event was rained out—another challenge in a sport where the weather often plays a major role. Now, with clear skies ahead and momentum on his side, Sexton is ready to return to the track in one of the most distinctive sprint cars in the series. The beautiful GAS Chassis #74. After a difficult 2024 campaign marred by mechanical setbacks, 2025 has signaled a new beginning for the young driver. He's finished both of his USAC/CRA starts this season, a notable improvement after frequently being sidelined before even making the heat races last year. At his most recent outing at Perris on April 5, Sexton qualified 21st, battled through the field to finish fifth in his heat race, and gained two positions in the main event to finish 18th. His season debut on March 1 also showed promise, with a three-position gain in the feature. In total, he's moved up five spots across his main event runs this year—proof of his persistence and potential. While his 2025 racing schedule will be somewhat limited due to his commitments as an apprentice heavy equipment operator attending school in Whittier, CA, Sexton remains determined to stay in the game. Fortunately, Perris Auto Speedway is just about an hour from Whittier. That can still make it a mad dash to get to the track after the last bell. However, this holiday weekend, there is no school. That offers him a rare opportunity to fully focus on racing without a rush from class to the track. Fans can catch Sexton and the other USAC/CRA drivers at Perris Auto Speedway, located at 18700 Lake Perris Drive on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds, just off the 215 Freeway. Event Details: Gates Open: 5:00 p.m. Racing Begins: 7:00 p.m. Early Bird Specials (5:00-6:00 p.m.): Half-off Budweiser beers and two-for-one Pepsis Ticket Prices: 13+: $35.00 Seniors (65+): $30.00 Kids (6-12): $10.00 Children (5 & under): Free Parking: $20.00 (Fairgrounds Fee) For additional event information, visit www.perrisautospeedway.com or contact the track office at (951) 940-0134. Sexton and the #74 team would like to thank their 2025 season partners: Gas Chassis, Mike Pridgeon Race Engines, Savage Racing, and Elite Powder Coating. Businesses interested in joining this exciting and growing team for the 2025 season are encouraged to reach out to Shane Sexton at ShaneSexton7@gmail.com or call (619) 362-5921.

- EDDIE TAFOYA JR. TAKES ON SALUTE TO INDY SATURDAY AT PERRIS
May 23, 2025, CHINO, CA — Second-generation sprint car driver Eddie Tafoya Jr. is set to return to action this Saturday night, May 24, as the Avanti Windows & Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series headlines the Annual Salute to Indy at Perris Auto Speedway. This prestigious race, one of the nation's longest-running sprint car events, will be celebrating its 77th anniversary, having first been contested in 1948. After rain forced the cancellation of the April 26th event at Perris, this weekend marks Tafoya's first competitive outing in six weeks. The Chino Hills, California native last raced in Arizona at the Central Arizona Speedway on April 10th and 11th. Despite a promising fifth-place run on the second night, fuel issues forced him out of contention late in the race. Saturday will be Tafoya's sixth start of the 2025 season in USAC/CRA. His strongest performance came on February 22nd with a fifth-place finish at Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway. In two starts at Perris this season, he finished eighth and 13th. Since the 2020 Perris season was canceled due to COVID-19, this will be the fourth running of the Salute to Indy. Driving the striking #51T sprint car, Tafoya has been a consistent contender in the event. In 2021, he was on pace for a career-best finish when he ran out of fuel while running second with just five laps remaining. He secured his best Salute to Indy finish in 2022 with an eighth-place result. Tafoya missed the 2023 edition while competing in the USAC National Sprint Car Series in the Midwest. Last year, he crossed the line in ninth. Fans will have the chance to watch Tafoya and the other top non-wing sprint car drivers west of the Mississippi this Saturday night at Perris. Spectator gates open at 5:00 p.m., with racing set to begin at 7:00 p.m. Ticket Information: Adults (13+): $35 Seniors (65+): $30 Children (6-12): $10 Kids 5 & under: Free Parking: $20 (charged by the fairgrounds) Advance tickets are available at tix.com. Tickets will also be available at the gate on race day.

- BRODY ROA SEEKS SECOND WIN IN SALUTE TO INDY THIS SATURDAY AT PERRIS
Cypress, CA - May 22, 2025 - Two years after capturing one of the biggest wins of his career in the prestigious Salute to Indy at Southern California's Perris Auto Speedway, Brody Roa returns this Saturday night, May 24, aiming to etch his name into the event's storied history once again. Roa's victory in the 2023 Salute to Indy came during a dominant season that saw the Garden Grove, California driver earn the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series championship. That year, Roa racked up nine feature wins on six different tracks — eight of those in USAC/CRA competition — including a blistering midseason run where he won six of eight races between April 22 and July 15. While the Salute to Indy win was a defining moment, Roa's career highlight at The PAS remains his 2017 triumph in the Friday night portion of the Oval Nationals, where he bested a star-studded field featuring both USAC National and USAC/CRA talent. In 2025, Roa has competed in four USAC/CRA events, finishing in the top six each time. In his two starts at Perris this season, he showcased his trademark resilience by charging forward from deep in the field to finish fifth and sixth. In early April, piloting Chris Bonneau's No. 15 car, Roa notched fourth-place, and sixth-place finishes at the Central Arizona Speedway. With 21 career USAC/CRA wins, Roa is the winningest active driver and sits fourth all-time in the series' history, which dates back to 2004. At Perris Auto Speedway specifically, Roa has seven career USAC/CRA victories, ranking ninth overall and second among active drivers. This Saturday's race marks Roa's return to competition following a well-earned break. Earlier this month, he enjoyed a quick getaway to Florida, followed by a relaxing family trip to the river with his wife, Tailor, and their two young daughters. Fans eager to watch Roa in action at the Salute to Indy can catch the excitement this Saturday night at Perris Auto Speedway. Spectator gates open at 5:00 p.m., with racing beginning at 7:00 p.m. Early arrivals can take advantage of half-off Budweiser beer and two-for-one Pepsis from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. Ticket Prices: · General Admission (ages 13+): $35.00 · Seniors (65+): $30.00 · Children (ages 6-10): $10.00 · Kids 5 and under: Free · Parking (Fairgrounds): $20.00 Advance tickets are available online at www.tix.com. Perris Auto Speedway is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds at 18700 Lake Perris Drive, Perris, CA. For more information, visit www.perrisautospeedway.com or call (951) 940-0134. Roa would like to thank his 2025 sponsors, "Biker" Bruce Fischer, Burris Racing, ALR Virtual Services, Caltrol, Molecule, and Wilwood Disc Brakes. If you would like to be a marketing partner with the team in 2025, contact Roa using the information at the top of this release.

- "Guess Who's Back?" — Matt Mitchell Returns for Salute to Indy at Perris Auto Speedway This Saturday
May 20, 2025, Perris, CA - This week, Southern California sprint car fans have been quoting the famous Eminem lyric: "Guess who's back, back again… Mitchell's back, tell a friend." That's right — Matt Mitchell is making his highly anticipated 2025 season debut at the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Salute to Indy this Saturday night at Perris Auto Speedway. Spectator gates open at 5:00 p.m., with racing action roaring to life at 7:00 p.m. Fans arriving early can enjoy Happy Hour from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m., featuring half-price Budweiser beer and two-for-one Pepsis. The Salute to Indy is one of the most storied and prestigious events in sprint car racing history, dating all the way back to 1948. Over the decades, it has become a cornerstone of the original CRA Series, SCRA, and now the USAC/CRA. Mitchell, a Costa Mesa, California resident, is no stranger to this iconic race. He began his career as a child in quarter midgets at the now-defunct track near Second Street and East End in Pomona. Later progressing through micros and midgets before finding his home in sprint cars. The 2014 USAC Western 360 Sprint Car Champion has tallied 10 career USAC/CRA wins, nine of which came at Perris — including three victories in the Salute to Indy (2011, 2013, and 2024). Mitchell joins an elite list of multiple-time Salute to Indy winners. Dean Thompson leads the all-time list with six wins, followed by Bubby Jones with five, and Billy Wilkerson and Damion Gardner with four each. However, historians often note that in certain years — particularly from 1978 to 1983 at Ascot — multiple Salutes were held in a single season. Two times in 1978, 1981 and 1983 and three times in 1980. Thompson claimed all six of his "Salute" wins during that period, and Jones captured three of his five. The only other drivers to win in those 11 races were Tony "The Tiger" Simon and Rip Williams. "That is why I figured to pick this race (because it is the Salute to Indy)," Mitchell laughed when asked why he is coming back now. "I don't know why, but every year around this time, race things begin to click. To put my name on the Salute to Indy list one more time would be icing on the cake. I cannot wait to unload it there on Saturday. Who knows what I am going to be able to do? I have not raced in something like six months. We will see what we can get done." While he has not raced in quite some time, his car is ready to go and unlike recent years, it is home at his own shop where he is doing most of the work on it. "It was ready when we put it away (last year)," Mitchell confirmed. "Ever since I started racing again in 2019, the cars have been kept with someone else. Now they are back in my shop. It is fun having everything back in my shop. I wish I was racing a little bit more, but it is just where I am at right now in life." While Mitchell's 2025 campaign is starting late, his absence from the track in recent years comes with good reason. The devoted father and his wife, Lauren, have been focused on raising their three young sons — Caysen, Baker, and Lane — and supporting their budding athletic pursuits. Racing may be in Mitchell's blood, but family comes first. "I have just been with my kids," he said. "Baseball fields. They all play baseball, basketball, and football. It just depends on what season it is. They are always so busy with sports. There is always somewhere to go. They love it and they are good at it, too. That's what they want to do. We are just in the thick of it right now with the boys. That is why I have not been racing." "Hey, I wanted to race when I was their age, so that is what we did," Mitchell reflected on his childhood. "I played a little bit of sports, but my dad and I raced." When he was asked if he thought his boys would follow in his racing footsteps, Mitchell pondered the question for a second and said, "My boys love watching me race, but do they want to race? Probably not." While Mitchell is coming back this weekend, his racing appearances will probably be limited in 2025. He hopes to race at the Louie Vermeil Classic at the highly anticipated reopening of the Calistoga Speedway on Labor Day weekend. He also plans on being on the track at some of the later-season Perris events. Whether or not more wins are in his future, Mitchell's return is sure to energize the Perris crowd and bring an added level of excitement to this historic race.

PASSCAR STREET STOCKS: A Tight Points Battle Saturday marks just the second outing of the season for the PASSCAR Street Stocks after weather delays earlier in the year. Shawn Estes of Riverside claimed victory in the March 1st season opener, with fellow Riverside driver Chad Mahony finishing second. George Leventis of Rancho Palos Verdes crossed the line in third and enters this weekend just two points behind Estes in the standings, thanks to a better heat race performance than Mahony, who currently sits third overall. Veteran Tim "Shaggy" Shadduck of Hemet and Riverside's Evan Sennett, a native of Ohio, round out the current top five in points. AMERICAN FACTORY STOCKS: Stites on a Streak The Factory Stocks are the only PASSCAR division to have run twice this season. David Stites of Canyon Lake has dominated both events, taking the main event win each time and holding a four-point lead over James Keller of Jurupa Valley. Keller, with second- and third-place finishes, is closely followed by Andrew Schmitz of Ramona, who mirrors Keller's results and sits third in points. Cameron Broe (Ramona) and Lanny Savage (Colton) complete the top five in the championship standings. PAS SENIOR & YOUNG GUN SPRINTS: Leaders Emerge In the Senior Sprints, Kevin Poynter (Mission Viejo) and Greg Badgwell (Yorba Linda) are deadlocked at the top of the points leaderboard. The Young Guns division has seen Jake McKee (Redlands) and Andrew Heard (Victorville) grab wins this year. However, McKee will sit out this round after suffering a fractured vertebrae in a flip during the April 5th main.

- "Shugah" Shane Sexton Set to Return to Perris Auto Speedway for Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series Race
(Warner Spring, CA, April 24, 2025) For the third time in 2025, popular "Shugah" Shane Sexton will strap into one of the most eye-catching sprint cars in the country for this Saturday's Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series race at the iconic Perris Auto Speedway. After enduring a frustrating 2024 season plagued by mechanical failures, Sexton, who calls Warner Springs, California, home, has turned the tide in 2025. In his two USAC/CRA starts this year, he's finished both mains—a refreshing change for the young driver, who often found himself sidelined before the heat races last year. Sexton's last outing at Perris saw him qualify 21st on the half-mile clay oval on April 5. He showed his trademark resilience, charging from seventh to fifth in his 10-lap heat and improving from 20th to 18th in the main event. In his March 1 season debut, he made similar forward progress, climbing from 21st to 18th. Across both starts this season, Sexton has gained five spots in the main event competition—momentum he looks to continue this weekend. While fans may have noticed his limited appearances so far this year, there's a good reason. Sexton is an apprentice heavy equipment operator and is currently attending heavy equipment operator school in Whittier, CA. That limits his chances of getting to most tracks. Luckily, Perris Auto Speedway is only about an hour from Whittier, and the proximity allows the determined racer to continue competing at one of the region's premier tracks. Fans eager to watch "Shugah" battle it out with the West Coast's best can catch the action at Perris Auto Speedway, which is located at 18700 Lake Perris Drive, just off the 215 Freeway on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds. Spectator gates open at 5:00 p.m., with racing set to begin at 7:00. Early arrivals (between 5:00 and 6:00 p.m.) can enjoy half-off Budweiser beers and two-for-one Pepsi's. Ticket Prices: Adults (13+): $35.00 Seniors (65+): $30.00 Kids (6-12): $10.00 Children 5 & under: Free Parking: $20.00 (Fairground Fee) For more information, visit www.perrisautospeedway.com or call the track office at (951) 940-0134. Sexton and the #74 team would like to thank their 2025 season partners: Gas Chassis, Mike Pridgeon Race Engines, Savage Racing, and Elite Powder Coating. Businesses interested in joining this exciting and growing team for the 2025 season are encouraged to reach out to Shane Sexton at ShaneSexton7@gmail.com or call (619) 362-5921.

- EDDIE TAFOYA JR. TACKLES PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY ON SATURDAY
(Chino, CA, April 24, 2025) Southern California sprint car standout Eddie Tafoya Jr. is set to return to action this Saturday night, April 26th, when the Avanti Windows & Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series rolls into Perris Auto Speedway for the third time in 2025. The iconic clay oval, widely regarded as the premier sprint car venue on the West Coast, will welcome fans through its gates at 5:00 PM, with racing action set to begin at 7:00. The 27-year-old Chino Hills, California native, who captured the Perris Auto Speedway Young Guns Championship in 2018, has already made two appearances at the famed Riverside County half mile this year. His strongest performance at the track came on April 5, when he piloted the immaculate #51T to a solid eighth-place finish. Tafoya's best run of the 2025 campaign so far came on February 22 at Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway, where he battled to an impressive fifth. That was his best result to date in 2025. The 2019 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year has shown strong form through the early stages of the season, especially in qualifying. In all five of his 2025 USAC/CRA appearances, Tafoya has qualified inside the top 10, including three top five time trial performances. Most recently, during a two-night stint at the newly revamped Central Arizona Speedway, he clocked in second fastest on April 11th and fourth quickest on April 12th. At Perris Auto Speedway, Tafoya has also demonstrated his one-lap speed, turning in the sixth and seventh fastest qualifying times in his two starts there this season. He kicked off the year by qualifying 10th at the season opener at Mohave Valley Raceway, where he went on to score the fifth-place finish. Despite only contesting five of the first seven races of the year, Tafoya currently sits 15th in series points. A strong run this Saturday could see him climb even higher in the standings as he looks to build momentum through the heart of the season. To see Tafoya battle with the best traditional sprint car drivers west of the Mississippi at Perris on Saturday, spectator gates will open at 5:00 p.m. and racing will begin at 7:00. Tickets for those 13 and over are $35.00. Seniors 65 and over get in for $30.00. For kids 6-12, it is $10.00, and children 5 and under are free. The fairgrounds charge $20.00 for parking. Advance tickets are on sale now 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. The beautiful Perris Auto Speedway is located at the base of the Lake Perris Dam on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds. The address is 18700 Lake Perris Drive in the city of Perris. The track website is perrisautospeedway.com, and the office phone number is 951-940-0134. Fans can follow Tafoya on Instagram eddietafoya51. Tafoya and the #51T team would like to thank Specialty Fasteners, BR Motorsports, King Racing Products, Gasper Transportation, CMI Precision Machining, Owen's Insurance Services, Keen Concrete, DRC Chassis, and Rider Racing Engines for supporting its 2025 racing endeavors.

- PASCAR SUPER STOCK DRIVER BILLY SIMKINS HAS A NEW AI CREW CHIEF
(Perris, CA, April 22, 2025) When Bakersfield, California driver Billy Simkins heads to Perris Auto Speedway for this Saturday's PASSCAR Super Stock race, his new crew chief, Chet, will be going with him. Well, he will kind of be going with him. Chet is an AI-generated crew chief, and in their first race together at Perris on April 5th, Chet's calls saw Billy go from his 13th-place starting spot to finish third. For Simkins, racing has been a part of his life since he was a small child. His grandfather, Spud, raced and promoted the Bakersfield Speedway. His father, Dan, had a legendary California stock car racing career that included 10 Santa Maria Speedway championships. Joining Billy on the track these days is his daughter Sunnie, who won the 2024 Bakersfield Speedway American Stock Championship. And now, Chet is joining the team to help Billy with the car. Chet was set to help Billy at the season opener earlier this year at The PAS, but the race was rained out. Even AI could not prevent that. Thus, the first race Billy used Chet was on April 5th. Racing against a stellar field that night, the veteran driver used Chet's advice to go from 13th to third at the checkers. He passed four more cars than any other driver in the race. "I started getting into AI because it is just kind of interesting how it works and how it communicates with you," Simkins told Dave Stall on Sunday's Racer Radio Show. "It has really advanced over the last year. I thought it would be interesting if I let AI crew chief the car. That means letting it set the car up and what it thought. Then we could kind of set the car up together." "It was really interesting how it worked out," Simkins continued. "The key component with AI is telling it how you want it to communicate with you. If you tell it you want it to talk to you like Harry from Days of Thunder, that is how it is going to talk to you. If you want it to talk to you like a motivational coach, that is how it is going to talk to you. It is going to talk to you any way you tell it to. That is a huge component." According to Simkins, the key to making it work is communication. Supplying it with as much information as possible expands its horizons. It can go back and give you all the data you need, as it stores everything. "The more it talks to you, the more it gets to know you," Simkins said. "It actually saves your information. As you progress, it gets to know how you talk and even how you drive. The more input you give it, the better communication it gives you." Stall asked Simkins what Chet knows about a track like Perris Auto Speedway. The longtime radio show host asked, "Do you have to give track measurements, the degree of banking? Does AI already know about Perris Auto Speedway?" "I said (to it), 'I am Billy, I have been racing for this long, the way I drive is like this and I am going to let you crew chief the car,'" Simkins responded. "What it basically does is it goes through and scrapes the entire Internet for like the last 20 years. That's forum boards, chassis manufacturers, everything. It is gathering the best information and communicating it to you in a nanosecond." "Let's talk about the setup you have got," AI told Simkins. "So I gave it the springs and the shocks I was running. It told me it liked everything on my car but did not like my right front spring. It said it is too stiff. I told it I tried to run softer springs but it bottoms out on the track. I just don't like the way that feels. It said we cannot have that spring. It said for us to come up with a solution we can both agree on so we both get what we want. "I said to it, 'What if I run a right front wheel with a deeper dish so I am pushing the right front tire out and I will kind of fine tune it with a spacer.' It told me, 'I like that, and you can keep your spring, that will soften up the right front.' We came up with that solution together and it was actually really good." For Simkins, it is like having a real crew chief with you. It has discussions, and you can bounce ideas back and forth. It relies on past and present information and takes everything into consideration. "It tells you to go try this thing out in hot laps and don't do any other changes until we talk and we see where we are at," Simkins said. "It gives you what it thinks is the best option for you. Sometimes it will talk you out of doing things. If it sees something that it does not like, say your spring package, it is going to let you know. It is that smart. " In addition to the Super Stock he runs at Perris, Simkins has a brand new IMCA Stock Car he runs on the Bakersfield Speedway at Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway. He got a surprising response when he told AI he was going to Perris to run the Super Stock. It told him that he did not have to say if it was his super stock or his stock car. AI knows when he goes to Perris, he is going to run his super stock, and when he goes to the Bakersfield Speedway, it is going to be in his stock car. To show how much it acts like having a living, breathing crew chief, Simkins informed it that he was going to be on a radio show to talk about his new AI crew chief. The AI response was shocking. "No way, that is bad ass, I would love to hear how that went," AI enthusiastically responded when told it was going to be the subject. "You literally went out there blending old school dirt track racing with AI crew chief strategy like it is 2035 already. Are they skeptical? Are they curious? I can only imagine that the host is saying, 'wait, you have a robot set your bar angles and your weight placement and you went out there and got back-to-back podium finishes with it." Perhaps the best news about it is the fact that, unlike most racecar technology, it is free to use online. Simkins and Chet would like to thank sponsors Motor City Throwdown, BTUFF, Grapevine MSP, Skinny's Automotive, and Smith & Son Tire for helping get the cars on the track at Perris and Bakersfield. In addition to Billy Simkins in the PASSCAR Super Stocks, the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars, PASSCAR Street Stocks, and The PAS Young Gun and Senior Sprints will also be in action. Spectator gates will open at 5:00 p.m. and racing will begin at 7:00. Tickets for those 13 and over are $35.00. Seniors 65 and over get in for $30.00. For kids 6-12 it is $10.00 and children 5 and under are free. The fairgrounds charge $20.00 for parking. For fans who wish, advance tickets for all of the USAC/CRA & PASSCAR, and Night of Destruction shows are available at https://www.tix.com/ticket-sales/pas/7 or by calling 800-595-4849. For fans who do not wish to purchase advance tickets, there will be plenty available for everyone at the ticket window each night. Tickets for the September 13th return of the World of Outlaw NOS Energy Drink Sprint Cars at The PAS are available at https://bit.ly/42Dssil.

- USAC CRA Sprints Return to Action April 26 at The PAS!
The cars and stars of the Avanti Windows & Doors USAC CRA Sprint Cars will head to Perris Auto Speedway this Saturday, April 26th. Promoted by Don Kazarian and presented by Heimark Distributors / ...
- EDDIE TAFOYA JR. FAST ON HIS RETURN TO CENTRAL ARIZONA SPEEDWAY
(Chino, CA, April 16, 2025) Even though it had been six years since his last and only appearance at the Central Arizona Speedway, Eddie Tafoya Jr. looked like a track regular when he competed on the clay oval with the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars last Friday and Saturday. Two top-four qualifying efforts highlighted the 27-year-old driver's weekend at the newly revamped 3/8 mile oval. Tafoya, who lives in Chino Hills, California, kicked off his two days of racing in the "Copper State" on Friday with the eighth fastest time of the 30 cars on hand in hot laps with a best lap of 16.956. When it came time to qualify, he turned it up a couple of notches and guided the gorgeous Specialty Fasteners #51T to its best qualifying effort of the year. His lap of 15.816 was the second-fastest time of the night. Tafoya started sixth in the 10-lap second heat and steered his way all the way up to second at the finish. That guaranteed him a starting spot in the A main event. Like he did in qualifying, he turned in the second fastest lap of the race. For the main, the veteran racer lined up on the inside of the third row for the 30-lapper. However, the setup on the car was too tight, and Tafoya slipped backwards and finished 13th. Twenty-four hours later, Tafoya started off well again. He recorded the third fastest time in hot laps in the 26-car field. He took to the track in qualifying and raced around the oval in 15.966 seconds. That was good enough for the fourth-best time in time trials. For the second straight night, Tafoya moved forward in his heat. After starting fifth, he passed one car and to place fourth in the 10-lapper. That move forward was important as it guaranteed Tafoya would start the main in third place. Saturday's main event saw Tafoya turn in what may have been his best performance of 2025. Through the early laps of the race, he ran fifth. On lap nine, he moved up one spot to fourth and he was locked into a fierce battle that was delivering a tremendously exciting race for his fans. A red flag flew on lap 23, bringing a temporary halt to the action. When the cars bumped back off for the restart, Tafoya was running in fifth and had his sights set on more. The car and the driver were both capable. However, when the green lights came back on, the #51T stumbled and slowed at the hit of the throttle. Tafoya steered the car to the bottom, and he pulled into the infield. He was out of fuel. What could have been a top five ended up instead being a 19th. However, it was a very impressive race for Tafoya, who was at the top of his game and battling very hard. The 2019 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year can take solace in the fact that only three drivers in the field turned a better lap than the 16.456 he recorded on the fourth circuit. Two of the three who turned in quicker laps finished first and second in the race. Despite the frustrating finishes, things were not all bad for Tafoya at Central Arizona. He was fast, and his car was, too. He can take that knowledge to his home track, Perris Auto Speedway, for another sprint car war on April 26th. Fans can follow Tafoya on Instagram eddietafoya51. Tafoya and the #51T team would like to thank Specialty Fasteners, BR Motorsports, King Racing Products, Gasper Transportation, CMI Precision Machining, Owen's Insurance Services, Keen Concrete, DRC Chassis, and Rider Racing Engines for supporting its 2025 racing endeavors.

- BRODY ROA BACK ON ONE OF HIS BEST TRACKS, CENTRAL ARIZONA SPEEDWAY, FRIDAY, AND SATURDAY
(Cypress, CA, April 10, 2025) When the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars visit the Central Arizona Speedway this Friday and Saturday, April 11th and 12th, Brody Roa, the 2023 series champion, will be one of the favorites to visit victory circle. Dating back to 2019, the Garden Grove, California-based racing star has started seven races on the Pinal County oval and has recorded one win, three runner-up results, a third, one fourth, and one fifth-place finish. Roa initially had no plans of racing this weekend. That is, he had no plans until Arizona-based car owner Chris Bonneau sent him a text offering to drive his car. Thinking back on the only time the two had teamed up in the past, it took Roa about half a second to say, "yes," to the offer. In March of last year, Bonneau and Roa teamed up for a race at Perris Auto Speedway. Roa started the 30-lap A main in 10th and by the end of the 24th lap, he had commandeered the lead and was pulling away from the pack. However, less than two laps later, he dramatically slowed and stopped with a flat tire. The car was rushed back to the work area for a tire change, and when the crew pulled the wheel disk off, a freak deal was discovered. The two plastic bleeder valve fittings in the right rear had snapped off. The crew changed the wheel and sent Roa back to the battlefield. Astonishingly, he quickly started passing cars and drove all the way back to fourth in just four laps. "That was probably one of the best cars on the night I have ever had," Roa enthusiastically remembered. "We qualified halfway decent and worked on the setup through the heat race. We changed the shock package on it for the feature, and it lit off. We started pretty deep. That thing was so comfortable, I was sliding two cars at a time. It was so good off the corner, down the straight, and getting in. I am so excited getting back into it this week." In 2019, Roa not only competed in USAC/CRA, but he also raced full-time in the USAC Southwest series. In fact, he won the Southwest title. In four trips to the Central Arizona Speedway that year, he recorded two second-place finishes, a third, and a fourth. In September of 2020, just prior to the birth of daughter Addison, Roa made his debut in the Jason May #8M and won the CAS main at Central Arizona. Since then, he has only raced at the track two times. Those appearances came at the ASCS/CAS shows to kick off the season on back-to-back nights in February of 2022. He notched a second and a fifth in that trip across the desert. Last week, Roa drove his own #91R at Perris. He qualified 10th in the 24-car field with a lap of 16.861. After a third-place finish in his 10-lap heat, "The Pride of Garden Grove" started 10th in the 30-lap main. Just like his first race of the year five weeks earlier at Perris, he moved forward. This time he ended up sixth. This Friday and Saturday at the Central Arizona Speedway, gates will open at 5:00 with racing at 7:00 each night. The track is located on the Pinal County Fairgrounds at 512 S 11 Mile Corner Road. Adult tickets for the shows are $25.00 each night. Active military and seniors get in for $20.00. For young adults ages 12-17, it is $15.00. Kids 11 and under are free. For more information visit the track website at https://www.centralazraceway.com/ or call the track office at 602-292-7607. For those who cannot make it to the track, both nights of action will be shown live on Flo Racing. Roa would like to thank his 2025 sponsors, "Biker" Bruce Fischer, Burris Racing, ALR Virtual Services, Caltrol, Molecule, and Wilwood Disc Brakes. If you would like to be a marketing partner with the team in 2025, contact Roa using the information at the top of this release.

- AFTER AN EIGHTH AT PERRIS, TAFOYA RETURNS TO CENTRAL ARIZONA SPEEDWAY FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2019
(Chino, CA, April 10, 2025) This Friday and Saturday, April 11th and 12th, Eddie Tafoya Jr. will compete with the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars on a track he has not raced on since 2019. The track is the Central Arizona Speedway, and the last time he was there, he was competing for Rookie of the Year with the now-defunct USAC Southwest Sprint Car Series. This week's races come hot on the heels of Tafoya's eighth-place finish last week in the USAC/CRA main event at Perris Auto Speedway. A lot has changed since Tafoya was last at the track, which is located about halfway between Phoenix and Tucson. Not only the racing surface, but the entire facility has had a major makeover since then. As was previously stated, he was running for the USAC Southwest Series Rookie of the Year award in 2019. He not only won that, but he also captured the USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year award the same season. Thus, he has good memories of the facility. "I ran there one time with the Southwest Series when I was trying to get the Rookie of the Year in 2019," Tafoya remembered. "I had to go to one of the races over there to stay in points. I won a heat race by about half a track. I am not sure exactly where I finished in the main, but I think I was close to the top five." Tafoya recently viewed some of the High Limit Sprint Car Series race at the track located on the Pinal County Fairgrounds. He planned on watching some more before heading to the "Copper State." "From what I remember it was big and fast," Tafoya enthused. "So, that sounds good to me. I am on a different chassis now. I should have a decent base. We just have to make decent calls throughout the night." Last Saturday night, Tafoya raced close to his Chino Hills, California, home at Perris Auto Speedway. It was with the same USAC/CRA Series that he is competing with this weekend. Twenty-four cars showed up for the night of racing and 27-year-old Tafoya qualified sixth fastest at 16.755. Being the sixth fastest qualifier and with the way the first two heats finished, meant that Tafoya was a lock to start on the pole for the main if he placed in the top five of his heat. Starting fifth in the 10-lapper, Tafoya quickly advanced to second, and it looked like he was going to secure the pole for the main. However, that was not to be. "I knew I had to get fifth or better to start pole (in the main)," Tafoya offered. "I got to second quickly, like within two laps. I was running there, and I had the valve stem shoot out of the left rear tire. That ran it out of air, and then it popped it off the bead." Unfortunately, the flat knocked Tafoya from second in the heat to last. And it knocked him off the pole for the main. Instead of starting at the head of the pack, he had to roll off inside row four. The stacked field did not disappoint the fans as the drivers put on the usual Perris Auto Speedway "war." Tafoya looked good in the beautiful #51T and battled throughout the race, finishing eighth. "I think car-wise and driver-wise, that is the closest I have been in a while," Tafoya said of the race. "It was definitely a positive. The setup felt good. I was pretty happy with how it went. I was just a little bit off. A lot of guys were going fast, so it was a lot different starting seventh than it would have been starting on the pole." Central Arizona Speedway is located in Casa Grande on the Pinal County Fairgrounds at 512 S 11 Mile Corner Road. Adult tickets for the shows are $25.00 each night. Active military and seniors get in for $20.00. For young adults ages 12-17, it is $15.00. Kids 11 and under are free. Gates will open at 5:00 p.m. each night with racing at 7:00.

- NARC SPRINT CAR TEAMS HEAD TO CHICO IN PURSUIT OF $10,000 MINI GOLD CUP WINNER CHECK
(4/7/25 - Andrew Kunas) Chico, CA ... The first big money race of the season has arrived for the NARC 410 sprint cars, with the prestigious Mini Gold Cup happening this Saturday, April 12th at Silver Dollar Speedway. Saturday's winner will score NARC's first five-figure payday of 2025, taking home $10,000 for their efforts. First run in 1987, the Mini Gold Cup was a longtime staple on the Northern California sprint car schedule, bringing fans and competitors to the challenging ¼-mile clay oval in Chico. Several editions over the years saw the event on the World of Outlaws schedule, but it has otherwise been a NARC event. After a hiatus of a few years that started with the COVID-19 plagued 2020 season, the SLC Promotions team brought the beloved event back a couple of years ago. Regardless of sanction, the Mini Gold Cup has long been a premier season event sprint car fans on the West Coast. Cole Macedo won last year's Mini Gold Cup after leader Ryan Robinson crashed on the final lap. It was Macedo's second Mini Gold Cup win, that one coming aboard the Tarlton Motorsports No. 21. With Macedo now on the World of Outlaws tour, the Tarlton team has been going with Jacksonville, Oregon standout Tanner Holmes. The pairing has already found success, winning an earlier race at Silver Dollar Speedway and then turning into multiple Top 5 finishes with High Limit Racing during their March swing through California. That has many fans pointing at Holmes as one of the favorites on Saturday. Hanford's D.J. Netto, with his win in last month's NARC season opener at the Stockton Dirt Track, has the points lead aboard the Netto Ag No. 88n going into the weekend with a four-point advantage over Fremont's Shane Golobic. Netto, a former NARC champion, will be one to watch, as he won twice in other 410 sprint car competition at Silver Dollar Speedway last year, including the Friday night Mini Gold Cup Tune-Up. Golobic also already is a winner in Chico this season in non-NARC competition, winning the night before Holmes did. Golobic and the Matt Wood Racing No. 17w are also hoping that translates to NARC success at the Mini Gold Cup on Saturday. In the Mini Gold Cup record books, National Sprint Car Hall of Famer Brent Kaeding leads everyone with four total Mini Gold Cup triumphs, taking checkered flags in 1991, 1993, 1996 and 2001. A pair of World of Outlaws champions, Jason Meyers, and Donny Schatz each have three wins in the prestigious race. WHO TO WATCH One other driver who will be watched is reigning NARC champion Justin Sanders of Aromas. The 2024 "King of the West" won the David Tarter Memorial last June when the NARC 410 sprint cars last tackled Silver Dollar Speedway, one of his seven NARC wins en route to the series championship. Sanders and the Mittry Motorsports No. 2x are looking at the Mini Gold Cup as the perfect opportunity to bounce back after a disappointing month of March. Never one to be counted out at Silver Dollar Speedway, San Jose's Tim Kaeding is always one to keep an eye on aboard the Williams Motorsports No. 0. A two-time "King of the West" and one of NARC's all-time winningest drivers with 74 victories, Kaeding has won several big races in Chico over the years, and that includes two Mini Gold Cups, those wins coming in 2005 and 2007. Templeton driver Kaleb Montgomery gave a strong performance at the Salute to Leroy Van Conett at Stockton on March 8th, driving from 15th to finish 4th in the NARC season opener. He later turned more heads by making the dash and finishing fifth in a High Limit Racing main event at Perris Auto Speedway. After this prior weekend's cancelations, fans remain eager to see what the young driver has ahead of him as he pursues his first NARC victory aboard the Montgomery Racing No. 3. A full field of sprint car teams are expected to fill the pit area. Other drivers expected to compete on Friday night include Roseville's Sean Becker, Oakley's Dylan Bloomfield, Tanner Carrick of Lincoln, Clovis drivers Dominic Gorden and Mariah Ede, Bud Kaeding of Campbell, Arizona driver Ashton Torgerson, Landon Brooks from Rio Oso, Tyler Thompson from Oregon, Lemoore's Caeden Steele, Gauge Garcia of Fresno, Benicia's Billy Aton and many more. FAN INFO Front gates open at 4:00 pm, with hot laps at 5:30 pm and qualifying to follow at 6:00 pm. Racing is scheduled to start at 6:45 pm. BCRA lightning sprints are also scheduled to compete. As a bonus for fans, Silver Dollar Speedway is also racing on Friday night, April 11th, with 410 sprint cars in action as a tune-up for Saturday's $10,000 to win Mini Gold Cup. Fans who cannot make it in person can watch live on www.floracing.com. FloRacing livestreams all NARC shows.
