  Chapeta, Elliott, Baugh, Young, Brown Score Championship Night Wins At Antioch Speedway

  Antioch, CA...September 24...Scott Chapeta won the 25 lap Wingless Spec Sprint Main Event Saturday night at Antioch Speedway. This was Championship Night for the division, and Shannon Newton wrapped up the division championship with a second place finish. He joins five others as a two-time champion in this class. Chapeta is a past championship runner-up at Petaluma Speedway, and he was making his first start of the season. He took the early lead, only to surrender the point to Jimmy Christian a lap later. Shannon Newton went motoring by for first on Lap 3 and held the position until Christian executed a high maneuver in Turn 2 to regain command. Jacob Williams slipped past Newton for second with a Turn 4 pass two laps later and set his sights on Christian. However, contact resulted in Christian spinning for a Lap 17 yellow flag with Williams being put to the rear for his part in the incident. This put Chapeta in the lead over Shannon Newton, and they ran that way until the final lap. As Chapeta sped to his first career win, Christian made an inside pass at the line to take second from Newton with Williams and East completing the Top 5. Two-time Merced Speedway Sportsman champion Rick Elliott won a thrilling battle for the 15 lap Butch Althar Memorial Hardtop victory. The race paid tribute to the past Antioch and Vallejo Speedway announcer. Roger MacShain led the field to the green flag and held the point until an outside pass on the backstretch on the fourth circuit put Joel Hannagan into the lead. Elliott went outside MacShain on the fifth lap to gain second, and Brad Coelho piloted the Tommy Thomson owned car into second on Lap 9. Coelho made a move around Hannagan in Turn 4 on Lap 10 for the lead, but he spun in Turn 4 moments later for a yellow flag. Hannagan led the field to the green flag, only to surrender the point to Elliott with a Turn 4 pass on Lap 12. Moments later, the two drivers spun in the fourth turn with Coelho being clipped in the incident. Coelho was out, and MacShain led the restart ahead of Elliott. Elliott made a high pass in Turn 1 on Lap 13 for the lead and sped to the victory. Hannagan made an inside pass in Turn 2 on the last lap to finish second, followed by Mike Gillard, MacShain and Ken Clifford. Jared Baugh collected his second 20 lap Pacific Coast General Engineering Hobby Stock feature win. The third-ranked driver managed to work his way into second behind Grayson Baca on Lap 4. The two leaders pulled away with Baugh using a low pass in Turn 4 on Lap 18 to take the lead. Baugh led the final circus for the win with Baca settling for second ahead of Kevin Brown, Adam Kujala and Jewell Crandall. Josh Young won the 20 left WMR Midget Main Event. Terry Nichols set the early pace ahead of Bryant Bell, but Bell went low and Turn 1 on Lap 3 to take over. Logan Mitchell maneuvered into second on Lap 7. Bell spun from the lead on the Lap 11 for the only yellow flag of the race. Mitchell led Young and Nichols on the restart. They ran that way until Young made thrilling pass in Turn 4 on Lap 17 to gain command. Young brought it home to victory ahead of Mitchell, Nichols, Adam Teves and Bell. Tom Brown wrapped up his second Antioch championship with his fourth Print Club Mini Stock Main Event win of the season. Three-time Merced Speedway champion Chris Corder had the pole and raced into the early lead with Brown shadowing him in second. Corder started developing a tire rub on his right rear and ultimately got a flat tire on Lap 10 as Brown took over. Brown easily led the remaining 10 circuits for the win with Patrick Kelley a solid second ahead of Ricky Berry, Corder and Cody Bolles. This weekend is the special Bill Bowers Memorial West Coast Nationals event for IMCA Modifieds, IMCA Sport Modifieds and IMCA Stock Cars. They practice and have a pit party on Thursday, a full slate of racing on Friday with increased purse money and an even bigger purse on Saturday, including $3,000 to win for the IMCA Modifieds and $1,500 for the victory in the IMCA Sport Modifieds.

  SEXTON GATLIN RACING GETS EIGHTH WIN IN NINE 2022 POWRi SOUTHWEST LIGHTNING SPRINT RACES

  (Lakeside, CA, September 24, 2022) For the eighth time in nine 2022 Lucas Oil POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series races, Sexton Gatlin Racing captured the victory when the series visited Perris Auto Speedway for the very first time. However, it was the initial time that the winning driver was not named Sexton. The win went to El Cajon California's Braden Chiaramonte who was subbing for Grant Sexton. Ironically Chiaramonte is the only driver to take a non-SGR car to a win in an SWLS main event this season. That happened when he took the victory in his own car at Imperial Valley on April 23rd. PAS 9_17_22=3 20=LiteSpt=3425-3 #E07E.jpg SWLS winner Braden Chiaramonte and Kevin Bates at Perris Auto Speedway. Doug Allen Photo. SGR appeared at the world-famous Riverside County track with four cars for the mid-September show. Three of the cars were for the POWRi portion of the program. Family patriarch Brent Sexton and his oldest son Dalton manned two of them. Fifteen-year-old Chiaramonte was in the other as he was occupying the car normally driven by Brent's youngest son, Grant. Grant was there racing his full-size sprint car in the USAC/CRA portion of the program. That opened up the seat in his powerful lightning sprint and the hiring of Chiaramonte for the race. Things started out rough for SGR when Grant got over the cushion in turn one in hot laps and flipped violently into the catch fence. Fortunately, the 18-year-old climbed out of the race car without injuries. However, the same cannot be said for the car. It was heavily damaged in the flip, and the chassis will have to be replaced. As this piece went to press, work has begun to get on the track with another Ellis Chassis at the Mohave Valley Raceway on October 8th. On the Lightning side of the program, Chiaramonte and Dalton were in the first heat. Off the pole, Chiaramonte simply ran away from the field and won by nearly half the track. Dalton started seventh and finished fifth. A few moments later the second heat rolled onto the track. Brent started in sixth but had moved up to third before the field screamed into turn one on the first circuit. By the end of that lap, he was up to second. Five laps later he was still there when the checkered ended the race. For the 20-lap main event, the SGR trio comprised 50% of the top six starting spots. Chiaramonte was on the pole again. Brent was directly behind him on the inside of row two. Dalton was outside the third row in sixth. After the heat race, everyone expected another walk away from Chiaramonte. They were all surprised that when the green flag flew, his car did not get a good start and he was relegated to third by the time the field reached turn one. He nearly slipped back to 4th as Brent tried to drive around him as they came off turn two the first time. Chiaramonte fought off his car owner for the night and set sail for second place. While Chiaramonte and Brent got off to good starts, the same could not be said for Dalton. It became apparent at the hit of the throttle pedal to start the race that his car was having issues. By lap five, he was being lapped and it turned out that he had fouled a plug and was running on three cylinders. He ended up pulling his car off the track with a disappointing 18th-place finish. Chiaramonte moved up to the second-place spot on lap two. Soon thereafter he had closed in on the leader. The talented teen stocked the front-runner through the first dozen laps of the exciting main event. On lap 13 he made his move on the back straight away and commandeered the lead. From that point on he simply drove away from the field just like he did in the heat race. Lots of lapped traffic did not hinder his crowd-pleasing drive. When the race ended, he was a full straightaway ahead of the second-place car. Brent stayed in 4th for the duration. That was the first time since April 30th that he was not on the podium at an SWLS race. "I have got to thank Grant and Brent (Sexton) for letting me run their car," the happy winner told the crowd after the race. "It was all about being smooth. When we got past Dyer (Jeff Dyer who led the first 12 laps) I knew we were going to be good. I knew Seth (crew chief Seth Kramer) had this thing dialed. I want to thank all of them (SGR) for letting me run their car and my mom and dad and everybody else." Brent's good finish combined with Dalton's misfortune allowed him to extend his lead to 88-points in the SWLS championship standings. That is his biggest advantage of the year as he seeks his third ever lightning sprint car championship (he was California Lightning Sprint Car Series champion in 1999 and 2008). Another impressive performance when SGR returns to action at the Barona Speedway for the last time on October 1st would see Brent getting one hand on the championship trophy with three races to go. Sexton/Gatlin Racing would like to thank the following companies for making the 2022 season possible. Sexton Fire Protection, BK Wings, Johnny Motorhead, Troy Dirt, Victory Graphix, Swift Powdercoat, Maxima Oil, Automated Interior, and an extra special thanks to Scotty and Jimmy Keys.

  SEXTON GATLIN RACING RETURNS TO ACTION THIS SATURDAY NIGHT WITH A FOUR-CAR EFFORT AT PERRIS

  (Lakeside, CA, September 14, 2022) For the first time in a month, Sexton Gatlin Racing will return to action this Saturday night, September 17th, at the Perris Auto Speedway. The team will bring four cars to the track with three of them competing in the Lucas Oil POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series and the other will be on the track with the USAC/CRA Sprint Cars. Spectator gates will open at 5:00 PM and the first race will be at 7:00. As this piece went to press, Brent Sexton and his oldest son Dalton will be in two of the team's lightning sprints. The driver of the third car has yet to be named. Brent's youngest son Grant will be racing in his full-size sprint car on the USAC/CRA side of the program. Going into the weekend, Brent Sexton leads the SWLS championship point standings. His closest pursuer is Dalton who is 36-points behind. The teen has plenty of time to catch the patriarch of the family as there will still be four points-paying races to go after Saturday night. While Brent leads Dalton in the championship point standings, Dalton's three wins are tops in the circuit. Brent has two wins. Throw in Grant's two wins and SGR drivers have won seven of the first eight races of the season. In the USAC/CRA Series, Grant will be contesting his third race. On Memorial Day weekend he debuted with the group at Perris. However, that debut was short-lived as the famous half-mile ovals cushion grabbed his number three car and catapulted it into the turn one wall on the second lap of his heat race. The only thing hurting Grant was his pride. However, the car was too damaged to complete the night. The 18-year-old's second attempt at the series went much better at the grand reopening of the Santa Maria Raceway on August 6th. Racing a 360 Sprint car in the field of mostly 410 cubic inch engines, Grant impressed early on when he qualified 15th fastest in the 31-car field. He placed sixth in his heat race. That put him into the B main event. Even though he got bounced around a couple of times by other cars in the 12-lap race, he did not give up and maintained the final transfer spot until the rough track conditions made him spin in turn 1 on the final lap. Adult tickets to see Saturday's show are $30.00. Seniors 65 and over get in for $25.00. For kids 6 to 12, it is just $5.00. Children 5 and under are admitted free. There will be plenty of tickets available for everyone at the ticket window on Saturday, this event will not sell out. For those who wish to purchase advance tickets, they are available 24 hours a day online at https://www.tix.com/ticket-sales/pas/7/event/1256365 or by calling 1-800-595-4849.

The track website is http://www.perrisautospeedway.com/ and the office phone number is (951) 940-0134. The fairgrounds charges $10 for parking. For fans who come east on the 91 Freeway to get to The PAS, the eastbound lanes will be shut down all weekend in Corona. Fans can take the 91 east to either the 605 or the 57 north to the 60 Freeway east.

  SEXTON GATLIN RACING WINS TWO RACES IN MINNKOTA SUMMER SHOOTOUT

  (Lakeside, CA, August 22, 2022) For the second year in a row, Sexton Gatlin Racing journeyed to the Midwest to contest the four-race MinnKota Summer Shootout. In 2021, SGR won one of the four races. This year they doubled the win total with Brent Sexton winning at North Dakota's River Cities Raceway and his son Grant taking home the win at Buffalo River Speedway in Glyndon, Minnesota. Combining Grant's wins and his dad's victory this year, SGR has three wins in the first eight MinnKota Summer Shootout races. That works out to an amazing 37.5 winning percentage in the series. Look for the team to return for the third running in 2023 to try and get their win percentage over 50%. 299375795_548258610430435_5114666039960509377_n.jpg Brent Sexton after his win at his win at River City Raceway in North Dakota. That winning percentage could have been a lot higher. In fact, SGR came close to picking up another win in the series this year. Besides Brent and Grant's wins, Grant was on the way to winning two others when he got mixed up with lapped traffic and lost the lead. 299896657_549696653619964_452510887650375681_n.jpg Grant Sexton after his win at Minnesota's Green Bush Race Park. The series matched the family team against cars from six different states and two Canadian provinces. For the opener on Thursday, August 11th, at the Norman County Raceway, Dalton, Grant's oldest son, recorded the team's best finish when he came home eighth after starting fourth. Brent moved up from his 20th starting place to finish 13th in the main event. One night later at the River Cities Raceway in North Dakota, it was the patriarch of the family, Brent, picking up his first series win. It was also his third win in his last four starts. Grant ended up ninth in the main and Dalton placed 11th. The El Cajon, California racing trio and its entourage crossed the border back into Minnesota for the final two races in the series beginning at Greenbush Race Park. Grant nabbed the best finish for the squad there with a sixth. Brent, in what turned out to be his last hurrah in the mini-series, started and finished in 11th. Dalton started 14th and finished 13th. At the series finale at the Buffalo River Speedway, Grant put on a show in the main event. He started on the pole, led every lap, and scored a convincing win. Dalton placed 15th and Brent did not start the race. When all was said and done after four nights, Grant was sixth in the point standings, Dalton placed 10th and Brent was 13th. Currently up next on the SGR schedule is the first-ever POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series race at Perris Auto Speedway on September 17th.

  BRENT SEXTON SCORES CLS WIN AT SANTA MARIA AND HEADS TO THE MIDWEST

  (Lakeside, CA, August 11, 2022) Brent Sexton, the current point leader in the POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series, made a cameo appearance in the California Lightning Sprint Car Series and won the main event at the Santa Maria Raceway last Saturday. This week, the racing veteran and his two teenage sons, Dalton, and Grant, will be racing four nights in the Minn-Kota Summer Lightning Sprint Shootout in Minnesota and South Dakota. 296485685_5845779145442913_8190778121937983028_n.jpg Brent Sexton, on the left, and his son Grant after Brent's CLS win at Santa Maria. FLO Racing Photo. Last week's race at Santa Maria was the first at the track since it had been shuttered in July of 2021. In addition to the CLS, the USAC/CRA Sprint Cars were also part of the grand reopening. The plan going in had Brent and Grant racing in the CLS portion of the program. Grant also participated in his second ever USAC/CRA race. On the CLS side of the show, Grant and Brent qualified seventh and eighth respectively in the 16-car field. Brent finished second in his heat race and then fourth in the dash. That placed him on the outside of the second row for the 25-lap main event. When the green flag dropped on the CLS main, Brent was third. The veteran driver stayed there until making a pass for second in turn two on the 13th lap. The track was extremely rough and dusty in turns one and two and when a car spun in turn two on the 16th circuit, the leader had nowhere to go and plowed into the stopped racer. That elevated Brent to the lead. The race commenced again with nine-laps left. Brent led every inch of the remaining distance and scored the win by nearly a half-track. "Me and my boys are running the Minkota Nationals next week," Sexton told the sold-out crowd after the race. "So, I wanted to come out here and shake the car down. It worked out perfect. Hopefully, it will be a shot in the arm for us back in the Midwest. It is great to see Santa Maria back open again. This place is awesome. Hopefully, we can keep doing it." Dalton subbed for Grant in the CLS main but pulled off seconds after the start. The win was Brent's second in a row and third of the 2022 campaign. He has not finished out of the top three in his last five races and the last time he finished worse than fourth was nearly five months ago when he placed eighth at the Bakersfield Speedway on March 25th. Grant's second foray into the USAC/CRA Series saw him debut a flashy new graphics package on his #18. The teen qualified 15th fastest in the 31-car field. He missed the transfer in his heat race by two spots and was forced to contest the B main. That race would be 12-laps and the top six finishers would transfer to the A Main. Grant got a good start in the B main and was attempting to make an outside pass for third in turn four on the first lap when he touched wheels with another car. Grant bicycled and his car was catapulted towards the outside wall. He gathered it back in but dropped back to the sixth and final transfer spot. A few laps later he went to the outside and attempted to pass the fifth place car on the back chute when the car slid up the racetrack and got into Grant who thumped the wall with his right rear wheel. However, the kid did not give up. He did not lose any spots and stayed in the final transfer position until turn one on the final lap. Track conditions in turns one and two had deteriorated badly and one of the ruts in the track caused Grant to spin and come to a stop. That also meant he missed the main event. The 2nd Annual Minn-Kota Lightning Sprint Shootout will commence on Thursday night at Ada Minnesota's Norman County Speedway. One night later, the action switches to the River Cities Raceway in Grand Forks, North Dakota. On Saturday, it will be back to Minnesota for round #3 at Greenbush Race Park in Greenbush. The series will stay in the "Land of 10,000 Lakes" for the finale at Buffalo River Speedway in Glyndon on Sunday night.

  BRENT AND GRANT SEXTON HEAD TO THE REOPENING OF SANTA MARIA RACEWAY

  (Lakeside, CA, August 1, 2022) Sexton Gatlin Racing drivers Brent and Grant Sexton are headed to the reopening of the Santa Maria Raceway this Saturday night, August 6th. Both will be racing in the California Lightning Sprint Car Series portion of the show. In addition, Grant will be making his second ever appearance in the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series. Saturday marks the return of racing at the San Luis Obispo County track for the first time in over a year. At the last CLS race on the oval on July 24th, 2021, Grant placed fourth in the 25-lap main event and Brent was one spot behind him in fifth For both team drivers, it will be their second appearance with the CLS this year. On March 25th at the Bakersfield Speedway, they competed in the club's season opener. In that one, Grant, the 2021 POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series champion, stole the show. He executed a brave outside ride that saw him steal the win a foot away from the finish line. In addition to the live, packed house that witnessed the teenager's exciting victory, thousands of fans around the globe caught the action on the World of Outlaws Dirtvision network. Brent, the current leader in SWLS points, finished six positions behind his youngest offspring in that race. In addition to competing with the CLS on Saturday, Grant will be making his third ever appearance in a full-size Sprint car and his second in the prestigious USAC/CRA Series. The 17-year-old made his debut in a full-size sprinter at the Ventura Raceway on April 16th and in storybook fashion, he won the main event. His first ever appearance in the USAC/CRA Series came at Perris Auto Speedway on Memorial Day weekend. That race was not quite as kind to the young driver as his experience at Ventura was. After qualifying 21st fastest of the 24 cars on hand, he caught a piece of the famous PAS cushion going into turn one on the second lap of his heat race. The cushion gobbled up his number three car and violently slammed it into the crash wall. Fortunately, he was uninjured but the same could not be said for the car. It suffered extensive damage and was done for the night. For fans who would like to see the SGR team in action on Saturday, adult tickets start at $17.00. For military, seniors (65+), and students with id, tickets start at $15.00. For kids 6-12, tickets start at $6.00. Children 5 and under are free. Gates will open at 4:00 p.m. with racing at 6:00. The track is located at 1900 Hutton Road in Nipomo (93444). Win, lose or draw, SGR will have little time to rest on its laurels or lick its wounds after Santa Maria. On Monday, August 8, the team will head out on a journey to the upper Midwest to compete in the Minnkota Summer Shootout for the second year in a row. The four-night mini-series will take place on tracks in Minnesota and South Dakota from August 11th through the 14th. Sexton/Gatlin Racing would like to thank the following companies for making the 2022 season possible. Sexton Fire Protection, BK Wings, Johnny Motorhead, Troy Dirt, Victory Graphix, Swift Powdercoat, Maxima Oil, Automated Interior, and an extra special thanks to Scotty and Jimmy Keys.

  Antioch Speedway Prepares For Five Division Show As Community Mourns The Passing Of A Legend

  Antioch, CA...Antioch Speedway will follow up the successful Hetrick Memorial and Dwarf Car Nationals events with a five division program this Saturday night. The IMCA Modifieds and IMCA Sport Modifieds have been added to the lineup with the Dwarf Cars being pulled so the drivers can recover from the Nationals. Also competing will be the Pacific Coast General Engineering Hobby Stocks, Wingless Spec Sprints and Mini Stocks. However, some sad news has rocked the racing community. Just as the Hall of Fame committee had met to vote on this year's inductees, news circulated around Antioch of the passing of longtime Promoter John Michael Soares. John and his family have been involved in the motorsports industry for decades, and he was raised around race cars and race tracks. His legendary father, John Pershing Soares, was one of Bob Barkhimer's go to men when it came to promoting race tracks in the 1950s and 1960s. Since he was a kid, John learned to handle different duties at the track and learned about working on race cars. Before he was even 16 years old, he was driving race cars. When Antioch Speedway opened for weekly competition in 1961, John was one of the competitors. He bears the distinction of being the only driver to win at least one Main Event at the track in the 1960s, '70s, '80s, '90s, 00s and 10s. As a Sportsman competitor, John notched 20 victories at Antioch Speedway, third all-time behind fellow Hall of Famers Gary Pacheco and Dennis Furia. He won the 1969 State Sportsman championship as well as the Petaluma crown. Though he ranked well through years at Antioch, he didn't pursue points, instead opting to run money races and move up to the Winston West Series. John developed the Lobak Performance Muffler, which became the standard at several race tracks. He built winning race cars in the Sportsman and Late Model divisions in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. He was still building race cars at the time of his passing. He was a Top 10 ranked Winston West driver and a winner on that competitive circuit. He even competed for a while on the Winston Cup circuit. In the 1990s, John began working as the team manager/car builder for the Team USA versus Team Australia Sedan series, which took place in Australia during our off season. After winning the bid to get the contract for promoter of Antioch Speedway in 1998, John was at the helm of the track for 22 seasons. Combined with his father's 20 years, that means a Soares has promoted the track for 42 years. In 2018 he was inducted into the Antioch Speedway Hall of Fame, and it was just decided on Monday that his wife Donna would be inducted this year. John was proceeded in death by his wife Donna in 2018. The Donna Soares Memorial race was held that year and was run in conjunction with the Hall of Fame, which was established in the same season. The track will make announcements in the days ahead regarding John and any events scheduled in his honor. His guidance kept the track going, even when times weren't the best, and he will be missed by the racing community. Despite the bad news, John himself would want the show to go on, and Saturday's event should be a good one. Nick DeCarlo and Kellen Chadwick have been waging a fierce battle for the IMCA Modified championship. The two past Antioch title winners have won multiple Main Events this year, and DeCarlo leads Chadwick by just one point going into the night. At the Hetrick race, Chadwick drove the Gary Hylton car to a third place finish. Bobby Motts Jr is 13 points back in third. Five-time champion Troy Foulger competed at the Hetrick event and settled for second behind all-time Antioch Speedway winner Bobby Hogge IV. However, Foulger has had a couple of big moments in recent weeks, winning the $7,300 R Charles Snyder Salute in Medford, Oregon and the most recent $2,500 Top Dog Nationals race in Petaluma. The IMCA Sport Modifieds will be back in action. Four-time Main Event winner and two-time reigning champion Fred Ryland maintains a four point advantage over recent Northwest Speedweek Series champion Andrew Pearce. That battle has been intense, but rising young star Jacob Mallet Jr has sort of slipped in under the radar. Mallet is only 22 points out of the lead in third. He currently leads the IMCA State of California point battle and ranks second at Watsonville. He has four wins at Watsonville, and he picked up the victory at Merced last weekend. Mallet is still searching for his first Antioch win of the season. After winning three Pacific Coast General Engineering Hobby Stock Main Events earlier this season, Misty Welborn has been shut out of the winner's column. However, she continues to stretch her point advantage and used a third place finish in the most recent race to take a 36 point lead over rival Michaela Taylor. Not to be forgotten in the mix is Jared Baugh. Baugh picked up his first ever victory last Friday, and that enabled him to move into third in the standings by 12 tallies ahead of Taylor DeCarlo. The Hobby Stocks have been the biggest supported division at the speedway this year. 2019 Wingless Spec Sprint champion Shannon Newton may not have been thinking about points entering the season, but he finds himself just 13 points behind James East coming into this race. Only eight points out of first is one time feature winner Zack Neeley. Newton was an unlikely winner last time out after aparent winter Nick Larsen was docked two positions on a rough driving call. Shannon's daughter MacKenzie Newton finished a career high second on that occasion. We haven't seen much of the Mini Stock division lately, but reigning champion Tom Brown has two wins and holds a 28 point lead over Dana Gardner. 32 points out of lead is rookie Shan Titman. Brown used his sixth victory at Petaluma Speedway last week to maintain his advantage in that title chase. The reigning Petaluma champion has a third championship at that track in his sights, and he would be the only driver to have managed that feat if he is able to accomplish it. While it may be a somber occasion this weekend, the five division lineup should offer some great racing for the fans. The gates will open at 4:00 with the first race starting at 6:00. Ticket prices are $20 for Adults, $15 for Military, Seniors (60 and over) and Children (under 11) with Children 5 and under free For further information, go to www.antiochspeedway.com.

  BRENT SEXTON GETS HIS SECOND WIN OF THE YEAR AND EXTENDS POINT LEAD

  (Lakeside, CA, July 15, 2022) They say you cannot teach an old dog new tricks. However, old dogs seldom forget the tricks they learned when they were pups. In the case of Sexton Gatlin Racing driver Brent Sexton, the latter is the truth. On July 9th at the Barona Speedway, the longtime veteran led every lap of the Lucas Oil POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car wingless main event for his second win of 2022. 274862669_10222041692533169_3380498486108649264_n.jpg Point leader Brent Sexton won his second SWLS main event of the season at Barona. Missy Benker photo. The victory for the patriarch of the racing family was another jewel in his already gem-studded crown. In eight SWLS starts this year, Brent has only finished worse than fourth one time. In his last four starts, he has finished third, second, second, and the win which came last week. It was also his fourth wingless start of the 2022 campaign and he has won two of them. The other came at the Imperial Valley Raceway on March 6th. As per usual, Brent was joined by his teenage sons, Dalton 19, and Grant 17, at their home track. For the 20-lap main, Brent, driving his familiar #44 was on the outside of the second row. Dalton was on the inside of row three with Grant alongside. To say the elder statesman of the racing family dominated the event would be an understatement. When the car starting in front of him got loose coming towards the green flag to start the race, Brent immediately dove to the inside. By the time he made it to turn number one, the car that was on the pole drifted wide in the corner. That left the bottom of the racetrack wide open and the wily veteran driver took full advantage and blasted into the lead. From that point on the Tennessee-born racer led every single inch of the way. The first yellow flag of the night waved on lap five, when Dalton, who was battling another car for third, slid to a stop in turn number one. That relegated him to the back for the restart and meant that he and his father were bookending the field. Within a couple of laps of the restart, Brent was pulling away again. The race proceeded smoothly for six laps before another yellow flag slowed the action and brought the field to Brent's rear end. Brent pulled away again when racing resumed and established another good-sized lead. A couple of laps after the action had commenced again, Grant advanced to the second place spot. However, the defending series champion had nothing for his father on that night. When the checkered flag waved over the field, it was Brent for the impressive win. Grant finished second and Dalton, after his early spin, came all the way back to sixth. The victory allowed Brent to double his lead in the championship standings to 36-points over Dalton. Grant moved up to fifth with five races to go in the 2022 SWLS season. Before the main event, Grant won the first heat race of the night. Seconds later, Dalton beat Brent to the checkers in heat race #2. Sexton Gatlin Racing returns to action with its second 2022 appearance in the California Lightning Sprint Car Series at the re-opening of the Santa Maria Raceway on August 6th. All three team drivers will be in action on the CLS portion of the program. The first time the team raced with the CLS this year, Grant won a thrilling main event at the Bakersfield Speedway on March 25th. Brent finished eighth in that race and Dalton, who dropped out early, placed 17th. In addition to racing his lightning sprint at Santa Maria, Grant will be doing double duty and will make his second start in the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series. After the race at Santa Maria, the team will high tail it to Minnesota and North Dakota for the August 11th through the 14th "MinKota Shootout." Sexton/Gatlin Racing would like to thank the following companies for making the 2022 season possible. Sexton Fire Protection, BK Wings, Johnny Motorhead, Troy Dirt, Victory Graphix, Swift Powdercoat, Maxima Oil, and an extra special thanks to Scotty and Jimmy Keys.

  SEXTON GATLIN RACING RETURNS TO BARONA 2 WEEKS AFTER PODIUM SWEEP

  (Lakeside, CA, July 7, 2022) Two weeks after it swept the podium in the Lucas Oil POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series, Sexton Gatlin Racing will try to do it again at its home track the Barona Speedway, this Saturday night, July 9th. The deck will be stacked a little differently for their effort as unlike the June 25th race, SGR in all the other teams will be taking their wings off to run topless. 275237876_10222039603120935_5143312803005418821_n.jpg SWLS point leader Brent Sexton. Missy Benker photo. Not only will SGR be trying to sweep the podium again, but it will also be trying to keep its perfect 2022 record at Barona intact. At the first four SWLS races on the San Diego quarter-mile oval this year, SGR drivers have won every night. Nineteen-year-old Dalton Sexton has two of those wins, and his younger brother Grant, 17, has the other two victories. Two weeks ago it was Dalton in first-place, his dad Brent in second, and Grant in third for the SGR podium sweep. Not to be outdone by his offspring, Brent comes into Saturday night as the series point leader. He has an 18-point advantage over Dalton in the championship standings. The patriarch of the family has finished second in the last two races and has not finished worse than fourth at Barona this year. The elder statesman of the family finished seventh in the season opener at Imperial on March 5th but has not finished out of the top four since. Included is a win at Imperial at the second race of the season on March 6th. Brett's steady top-four placings see him with an amazing 3.28 main event finishing average. That is not only the best of the three SGR racers, but it is also the best in the entire SWLS series. Dalton's main event finishing average is 3.85 and Grant's average is 4.80. With only four SWLS races left after Saturday's show in Barona, chances are good that the series championship could stay in the Sexton household. Last year Grant captured the title. As it stands now, Brent and Dalton have excellent shots at being this year's champion. The SGR schedule has had a couple of recent tweaks. The team will not be journeying to Washington for next week's Clay Cup as originally planned. However, it has added a date on August 6th at the Santa Maria Raceway. As it stands now, all three SGR drivers will be racing on the California Lightning Sprint car portion of the program. In addition, Grant will be making his second appearance in the USAC/CRA 410 Sprint Car Series. For SGR fans, gates will open at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday with racing at 6:00. Adult tickets are $20.00. Kids 7-17 are $10.00. Children 6 and under are free. Family packs of two adults and two kids are available for $50.00. Seniors, military, and EMTs get in for $10.00. The track is located at 1754 Wildcat Road in Lakeside (92040). The track website is https://baronaspeedway.com/ and the office phone number is (619) 994-6560.
