  SEXTON GATLIN RACING BRINGING FOUR CARS TO PERRIS FOR SALUTE TO INDY

  (Lakeside, CA, May 26, 2023) One week after making the 600-mile round trek to contest the Brian and Chris Faria Memorial at the Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, California, Sexton Gatlin Racing will be making the relatively short 132-mile round trip to Perris Auto Speedway for Saturday's annual Salute to Indy. Unlike the journey to Tulare when they took one car, SGR will be fielding four cars at the famous Riverside County half-mile clay oval. Sporting some brand new graphics on his #22 sprint car, Grant Sexton, the leading rookie in the USAC/CRA Series, was the only SGR driver racing at Tulare. The teen was the ninth fastest qualifier in the 16-car field when he toured the lightning-quick track in a time of 16.301. That put him outside of row one for his 10-lap heat. One thing the Thunderbowl is famous for is "banging the boards." For many newcomers on such a quick track, there is no way they are going to go up and run by the wall. However, that is the fastest way around the Central Valley speed plant. Sexton showed no fear. He was third at the end of lap one and momentarily slipped back to fourth coming off turn two. However, he kept it wide, picked up a great drive coming off turn four, and raced into third. On lap five contact with another car's right rear going into turn three sent his car careening into the wall. His rear slammed in first, breaking the rear end before he tipped over. Fortunately, the teenage star was not injured, but he was done for the heat race. The crew got on it immediately, but with two classes and only 29 cars on the premises, time was limited to get the new rear end in the #22 and get it ready for the main. They did get it done, but after only a few laps the driveshaft came out. That ended the 18-year-olds first night at the Thunderbowl with a 14th-place finish. While the night in Tulare did not go like the young driver would have liked, he still comes into this Saturday's race at Perris leading the Rookie of the Year standings by a comfortable margin. Also, he is still ninth in the overall series standings and is only five points out of eighth. Saturday will be Sexton's third race of the season on the West Coast's premiere dirt oval. Thus far he has 19th and 12th place finishes on it. In addition to Grant racing on Saturday, his father Brent, the 2022 POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series champion, will also be in action. In fact, he will be doing double duty. He will be driving the same #44 SWLS car that he drove to the win in the main event on the famous half-mile last month. In addition, he will be making his full-size sprint car debut in The PAS Senior Sprints. SGR will be taking another lightning sprint car to the track on Saturday for another driver who has yet to be announced. Spectator gates at Perris will open at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday and the first race will be at 7:00. Adult tickets are $30.00. Seniors 65 and over get in for $25.00. For kids 6 to 12 it is just $5.00 and children five and under are admitted free. The fairgrounds charge $10.00 for parking. The famous half-mile clay oval is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds at 18700 Lake Perris Drive in the City of Perris (92571).

  BRODY ROA TAKES SECOND AT FARIA MEMORIAL - THIS WEEK HE TACKLES THE SALUTE TO INDY

  (Cypress, CA, May 24, 2023) Brody Roa turned in another strong performance last Saturday night at the 30th Annual Chris & Brian Faria Memorial at the Thunder Bowl Raceway. The Garden Grove, California driver started third in the 30-lap main and came home in second. He now has top-five finishes, including five wins, in all nine USAC/CRA races in 2023. This Saturday night he will be back at Perris Auto Speedway to contest one of the longest-running sprint car races in the USA, the Annual Salute to Indy. PAS 4_15_23=17=0084-3 (c)#B2F5.jpg Brody Roa finished second at the Thunderbowl last Saturday. Doug Allen Photo. Roa's trek to last Saturday's race should have been the second of the year for him at the Central California 1/3 mile banked oval. However, a March 25th race at the track was canceled due to rain. Thus, the race was his first on the lightning-fast oval since 2021. A pleasant day greeted the USAC/CRA competitors at the famous Thunderbowl that was staging its last race until October. Sixteen USAC/CRA cars showed up for the event. Roa was the fourth fastest among them when he put the white Inland Rigging #17R through its paces in qualifying and turned in a lap of 15.851. That time placed him in the fifth starting spot for his 10-lap heat race. At the end of the first circuit, he had diced his way to third and was second one lap later. By the time he arrived in the runner-up position, the leader had established a good size advantage. Roa methodically closed in and before the end of lap five, he had secured the top spot. From that point on he simply waltzed away from the field and won the heat by over a half straightaway. Looking for his fourth win in a row in the USAC/CRA Series and his first ever at the Thunderbowl, Roa started the 30-lap main event on the inside of the second row. On a track that was not easy to pass on, he peeked at the inside when the field roared into turn one on the opening go-around. Coming off turn three the first time, he swung wide and drove around the second-place car. Roa tried to relieve the leader of the top spot every time there was a yellow flag. However, on this night the leader was equal to those threats and was the fastest car on the track forcing "The Pride of Garden Grove" to take second place for the fourth time this year. "He was really good there in the feature," a gracious Roa said of first-time winner Tommy Malcolm. "I knew the restarts were my only shot. Even then I figured he could get back by us. That was huge for those guys and it was a long time coming. They are going to win some more this year." "I have struggled here (the Thunderbowl) and it is one of the places mentally I cannot figure out," he continued. I will take second. We are happy with that. If we click off finishes like that, there is nothing to hang our head about. Thanks to all of you who came out." Despite seeing his three-race win streak come to an end, Roa increased his point lead. He added 17 more points to his advantage and will head into this Saturday's race at Perris Auto Speedway with a 137-point cushion over the second-place driver. Saturday's race at Perris is the annual Salute to Indy. The prestigious race dates back to 1948, and the winner's list is festooned with some of the greatest names in sprint car racing. Two years ago in 2021, Roa added his name to that illustrious roll. Last year he made the Salute to Indy podium by finishing third. He enters this Saturday as one of the pre-race favorites. Spectator gates at Perris will open at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday and the first race will be at 7:00. Adult tickets are $30.00. Seniors 65 and over get in for $25.00. For kids 6 to 12 it is just $5.00 and children five and under are admitted free. The fairgrounds charge $10.00 for parking.

  TOMMY MALCOLM RETURNS TO PERRIS FOR THE SALUTE TO INDY AFTER HIS FIRST SPRINT CAR WIN LAST SATURDAY AT TULARE

  (Perris, CA, May 22, 2022) After several years of trying and numerous heartbreaking near misses, Tommy "Thunder" Malcolm scored the first sprint car win of his career last Saturday night at the Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, California. This Saturday, the now 30-year-old returns to where it all started for him, Perris Auto Speedway, when Heimark Distributors Anheuser Busch presents the Amsoil USAC/CRA Sprint Cars in the prestigious "Salute to Indy." 348485036_219133337552386_9187311878713605917_n.jpg Tommy "Thunder" Malcolm, winner of his first sprint car main last Saturday, will be at Perris this Saturday. Lance Jennings photo. It was approximately 15 years ago that Malcolm began racing a PASSCAR Street Stock on the Riverside County half-mile clay oval. There he raced alongside his stepdad Dino Napier and his brother Johnny. It was also where he picked up the nickname "Thunder." His brother was dubbed "Lightning" so it was only appropriate that he was tagged with the "Thunder" moniker. At the time, Malcolm's age, diminutive size, and natural talent endured him to the fans. He followed his dad and brother into late model racing and quickly made a name for himself and was a threat wherever he raced. However, when the late model scene began to dry up in California, Malcolm had to find a new racing path and that path led him to sprint cars. He immediately proved to be as smooth in a sprint car as he was in a late model. With laps and experience came speed. Suddenly he became a contender and his first win was just around the corner. Then around another corner and another. Many times he was close to a win, only to have fate rob him of the victory. Perhaps the biggest disappointment for the fan-friendly racer came last year at the Bakersfield Speedway. Late in the main event he was leading and clearly had the fastest car. The victory was within his grasp but he suffered a flat tire during a yellow flag period. He pulled to the work area, his crew changed the tire and he had to restart at the back of the pack. He is such a popular driver that many of his fellow competitors lamented his misfortune with the flat tire. The same racers also lauded his victory on Saturday. The Bakersfield disappointment and the others accumulated along the way were all forgotten last Saturday night when Malcolm, who lives in Yucaipa, California, and who was making his 109th USAC/CRA start, began the race on the outside of the front row and led every inch of the way for his first sprint car victory. Appropriately, "Thunder's" first sprint car triumph came at the track named the Thunderbowl. "The track was hard to pass on last night and the advantage I had was being out front," Malcolm told host Dave Stall on Sunday's "Racer Radio Show." "I led all 30-laps. There had to have been six or seven cautions maybe. I was nervous on the restarts because I knew Brody (series point leader Brody Roa) was behind me. So every restart I did something a little bit different. I tried the top, I tried the bottom, I tried everything. We have been really close a bunch of times and finally to get that first win has been pretty nice." "The car is ready to go this weekend at Perris Auto Speedway. Believe it or not, we actually last night (Saturday at Tulare) tried a new set up for the first time ever. It worked great. We do a certain set up at every track we go to. It is just the fine changes after that. We are after that certain balance and I think it (the set up they used at Tulare) is going to work well for Perris. So, I am really excited." Malcolm's Win at Tulare makes him one of the favorites for Saturday's 70th running of the "Salute to Indy." The race started in 1948 when Dempsey Wilson won the first edition. Since that time some of the greatest drivers in sprint car racing history have won the event. The list includes National Sprint Car Hall of Famers Billy Wilkerson, Bob Hogle, Jimmy, Oskie, Colby Scroggin, Dean Thompson, Hal Minyard, Bubby Jones, Art Bisch, Brad Noffsinger, Rip Williams, Ron Shuman, Cory Kruseman, Richard "The Gasman" Griffin, and Lealand McSpadden. When Ascot closed at the end of the 1990 season, the "Salute to Indy" went into hibernation until Perris opened in 1996. Since then it has been held every year except for 2008 when it was rained out and 2020 when it was canceled due to Covid. Last year, Norco's Cody Williams became the third member of his family to win "The Salute to Indy." In 1983, his father Rip won his first of over 100 sprint car mains when he topped the "Salute to Indy" at Ascot. Cody's brother Austin leads the family with two wins in 2016 and 2018. Besides the Williams brothers, other past winners who will be competing on Saturday night are Matt Mitchell (2011 & 2013 winner) of Costa Mesa and Garden Grove's Brody Roa, who won the race in 2021. In addition to the Amsoil USAC/CRA Sprint Cars, the POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprints, PAS Senior and Young Gun Sprints and the PASSCAR Street Stocks will also be in action. Spectator gates will open at 5:00 p.m. with racing starting at 7:00. Adult tickets for Saturday's race are $30.00. Seniors 65 and over get in for $25.00. Kids 6-12 get in for $5.00 and children 5 and under are free. The fairgrounds charge $10.00 for parking.

  BRODY ROA LEADS USAC/CRA INTO TULARE - TOMMY DUNKEL'S VENTURA RESULTS

  (Cypress, CA, May 19, 2023) Red hot driver Brody Roa will lead the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series onto one of the West Coast's most popular racetracks, the stone Chevrolet, Buick, GMC Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, California for the "Chris and Brian Faria Memorial," on Saturday night. The race will be the first for the Garden Grove, California veteran at the Thunderbowl since 2021. Saturday's race will be the 9th of the year for USAC/CRA. To say Roa is the driver to beat is an understatement. After opening the year with a pair of back-to-back wins at Arizona's Cocopah Speedway, he then recorded a pair of seconds and a fifth before embarking on a three-race win streak, which he brings to the Central California track on Saturday. The popular Inland Rigging Motorsports driver's current run is comprised of victories at Kings Speedway in Hanford on April 22nd, the Dirt Track at Kern County Raceway Park on April 29th, and Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway on May 6th. Roa's five wins, combined with not finishing out of the top five thus far this year, sees him bring a commanding 120-point lead in the standings into Saturday's race. After this weekend's event, Roa and the series will have back-to-back shows at Perris Auto Speedway on May 27th and June 10th. Last Saturday, Roa's teammate and car owner Tommy Dunkel hit the beach at the Ventura Raceway for his first USAC West Coast Sprint Car Series race of the year. A month earlier at a VRA Sprint Car race on the same 1/5 mile oval, Dunkel swept the show leading every single lap of his heat race and the main event. It was his first-ever sprint car feature win. Last Saturday he began the evening qualifying 13th in the 18-car field with a lap of 13.173. Driving his #17, he then fended off multiple challengers and led every inch of the way for the victory in his 10-lap heat race. It was his first-ever USAC win. Combined with his performance in the VRA race earlier in the year when he led both his heat and main event green to checkered, Dunkel had amazingly led 50 straight laps on the beach-side oval. "I started on the outside of the front row in the heat race," Dunkel said. "There were a few heavy hitters in the race for sure. I got a good jump on the initial start. I think we got two laps in and then a yellow came out. I got another good jump, but for about half the race, I had some good pressure. I did not walk away with it by any means. It was a super tight battle." For the main event, Dunkel started in the seventh spot. He moved forward and ran a lot of the race in sixth before trying the outside and it bit him. He slipped back to ninth before he could get back to the bottom. He was stuck there until a caution flag flew with five laps to go. "With five laps to go, there was a caution," Dunkel lamented. "On the restart, I just straight got ran over. Just got clobbered going into three and four. He put the right rear all the way in the car and knocked the GoPro off the seat. It bent the rear down tube. I was able to restart at the tail. At the time there were still 17 cars in the race. I drove it back to 11th." Dunkel's next on-track foray will be at Ventura for the "Wags Dash" on June 17th. This Saturday at the Thunderbowl, gates will open at 4:00 with qualifying at 6:00 and racing at 7:00. Adult tickets are $30.00 (grandstands) and $25.00 (bleachers). For seniors, tickets are priced at $28.00 and $23.00. Kids 6-12 are $15.00 and $13.00 and children 5 and under are free. The Thunderbowl is located on the corner of Bardsley and K Streets at 620 South K Street Tulare (93274). The website is http://www.thunderbowlraceway.com/ and the office phone is (559) 688-0909. Roa will be back on track when the USAC/CRA Series visits the famous Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare for the "Chris and Brian Faria Memorial" on May 20th. The veteran racer will arrive there with a 120-point lead in the championship standings.

  GRANT SEXTON GETS HIS FIRST SHOT AT THE FAMOUS THUNDERBOWL RACEWAY THIS SATURDAY

  (Lakeside, CA, May 19, 2023) Rising USAC/CRA teenage star Grant Sexton will continue to live his sprint car racing dream this Saturday night, May 20th, when he makes his first-ever appearance at the Stone Chevrolet, GMC, Buick Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, California. It is a track the young driver has always wanted to race on. Known as one of the quickest and toughest tracks in the "Golden State," the Thunderbowl is not for the faint of heart. Promoted by NHRA Top Fuel driver Steve Faria, young Sexton was first supposed to race there on March 25th, but that show was canceled due to rain. Perhaps that was a blessing in disguise for the young racer as he is a totally different driver than he was at the end of March. Through the first five USAC/CRA races of 2023, the affable teen made the A main three times. His best finish of the three was a 12th at Perris on April 15th. His other two results up to that time were a 16th and a 19th. Since the April 15th race, Sexton has contested three more USAC/CRA races and has placed sixth, seventh, and 12th. The sixth-place finish, which came at Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway two weeks ago, was the best of his brief 410 career. That finish may have been superseded by his April 22nd seventh-place ending at Kings Speedway in Hanford. In that 30-lapper, Sexton seemed destined to record his first-ever top-five as he had driven his way up to fourth with just two laps to go. However, a wild battle for position saw him slip back to seventh at the checkered flag. Sexton's ever-growing skills in a 410 sprint car have seen him rise in the series point standings. For the first time since he started racing in the series, the 18-year-old Lakeside, California resident will come into Saturday's battle on the tough bullring ranked in the top 10 in the USAC/CRA standings. He will start the night in ninth with 282 points. He also has a commanding 142-point advantage in the Rookie of the Year chase. Not all this week's news emanating from the Sexton Gatlin Racing camp has to do with the teenage star. His father Brent, a three-time lightning sprint car champion and the current leader in the POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Series, is poised and ready to make his first-ever start in a full-size sprint car. The newly turned 51-year-old will make his debut in the Perris Auto Speedway Senior Sprints at the annual "Salute to Indy" on May 27th. thumbnail (2).jpg The finishing touches are being applied for Brent Sexton to make his PAS Senior Sprint debut at Perris on May 27. Spectator gates will open at 4:00 at the famous Thunderbowl with qualifying at 6:00 and racing at 7:00. In addition to the USAC/CRA 410 Sprint Cars, the Kings of Thunder Winged 360s will also be in action. Adult tickets are $30.00 (grandstands) and $25.00 (bleachers). For seniors, tickets are priced at $28.00 and $23.00. Kids 6-12 are $15.00 and $13.00 and children 5 and under are free. The Thunderbowl is located on the corner of Bardsley and K Streets at 620 South K Street Tulare (93274). The website is http://www.thunderbowlraceway.com/ and the office phone is (559) 688-0909.

  EDDIE TAFOYA JR. QUALIFIES FOR BOTH MAINS IN ELDORA SPEEDWAY DEBUT

  (Chino, CA, May 12, 2023) Ohio's Eldora Speedway is one of the most famous and fastest dirt tracks in the world. Over the decades, its famous high banks and high speeds have put fear in the hearts of many racecar drivers. One driver who was not intimidated by the track's reputation was Chino Hills, California racer Eddie Tafoya, Jr. The rising star took on the track for the first time in the USAC National Sprint Car Series "Let's Race Two" on May 5th and 6th. Each night he qualified for the main event. Thirty-five cars signed in for the opening night of the two-night affair. Tafoya, 25, managed to draw a number in qualifying that put him in the second to the last pair on the track. Thinking the outside was gone by that time, he steered the #51T onto the steeply banked surface for his two laps on the clock. The dark-haired racer kept the car on the low line and sped around the bottom. For as late as he went out, he ended up doing well with a lap of 18.269. That was good enough for the 25th best time. For his heat race, Tafoya was on the inside of row four in the seventh position for the start. He ended up finishing eighth. That meant he had to go to the B main event for another shot at qualifying for the 30-lap A. The 12-lap B main was transferring six cars to the A. So, that meant Tafoya only had to pass one car for his ticket to the big dance. However, that could sound like a tall order considering he had never been there and the track's reputation for separating the men from the boys. Somebody apparently forgot to remind Tafoya of that. The rising star looked like Mike Tyson charging out of his corner at the opening bell of a championship fight when the green flag flew. On the second lap, needing only to pass one car to make it into the main event, he passed four! That put him in third place, and he remained there to earn a ticket into the main event on his first-ever appearance at Eldora. For his initial 30-lapper in Ohio, Tafoya was starting on the inside of the 11th row in the 21st position. When the 24 cars charged into turn one, he was originally in 22nd. Like usual, he began to pick off cars on lap two when he moved up to 21st. On the 3rd go around, he passed a couple of more cars and was quickly up to 19th. At the end of the fifth lap, he had taken over 18th. He stayed there for eight laps before dropping back to 19th and remaining there for the duration of the race. Night number two at Eldora saw Tafoya switch strategies and move up to the top in qualifying. The fastest of his two laps was 16.908. That was over a second faster than his Friday effort and was good for 26th quickest in the 35-car field. For his night #2 eight lap heat race, Tafoya began and finished seventh. That meant another trip to the B main. This time he was starting eighth and only had to pass two cars to get into the A. Showing a flare for the dramatics, Tafoya was eighth for the first seven laps. A lap eight yellow saw him pick up one spot to seventh. From the time the green lights flashed back on until lap 11, he remained one position out of the transfer. But with dramatics akin to an NHL hockey overtime, Tafoya swept wide off turn two. Keeping his foot planted on the wide line, he snagged the final transfer spot coming off turn four just before the white flag and qualified for his second Eldora Speedway main in 24 hours. The 30-lap Saturday A main event at Eldora was the last of Tafoya's first ever weekend at the track in the "Buckeye State." For the second night in a row, He was starting in the 21st spot. Initially, the 2019, USAC/CRA and USAC Southwest Series Rookie of the Year, ran in 24th. After briefly sliding into 22nd, he dropped back to 23rd on the eighth go around. He stayed eighth until a late race red flag halted the action with about 10 laps to go. Soon after the race restarted, Tafoya flew into 21st and then drove into the 20th position with nine laps remaining and stayed there through the finish. Tafoya had a very good introduction to the famed track that is known for not taking any prisoners. He made the main event each night and rolled the car back into the trailer with no damage. "Any track you go to running 120 miles per hour right on the wall is going to be scary," Tafoya said. "As you can see, people like Justin (Grant) are just banging it off the fence to win races there so you definitely have to put it aside if you want to do good. Set up-wise it was a little bit different. It was more aggressive than I thought it was going to be, just the tightness of the car wise." "I always hope to do well," Tafoya responded when queried on how he thought he would do going into the weekend. "I have good equipment and have definitely been getting experience under my belt the last couple of years. I feel like it is kind of to the point where it is my job to show up and do that good for my parents, myself, and everyone else who helps me out. I was happy with it." "We definitely had to work for both of those (mains)," Tafoya resumed. "Being so late in qualifying, we were the second to last pair both nights. One day (Friday) I tried the bottom because I thought the top was gone. The next night I ran the top. Kind of put us right around the same spot starting pretty deep in the heats. That track has so much momentum. When everyone is that fast it is kind of hard to make up ground and make passes. Luckily in both B mains, I was able to move around, find some speed and find some grip." After just a handful of races, Tafoya is 22nd in USAC National Sprint Car points and is only 10 markers out of 19th. Up next on his schedule is a trip to the "Sprint Car Capital of the World," Iowa's Knoxville Raceway, for the June 3rd and 4th USAC National Series races. However, he is currently back in So Cal for the next couple of weeks. If anyone is looking for a competitive driver for the USAC/CRA race on Saturday, May 20th at Tulare's Thunderbowl Raceway or the Salute to Indy at Perris Auto Speedway on May 27th, Tafoya is available. He can be reached at (909) 393-3999. The Specialty Fasteners #51T team is always exploring corporate partnership opportunities.

  BRODY ROA TAKES THIRD STRAIGHT USAC/CRA WIN AT THE MOHAVE VALLEY RACEWAY

  (Cypress, CA, May 9, 2023) Brody Roa's successful 2023 season continued to roll like a fine-tuned machine when he captured his third straight USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series main event last Saturday night at the Mohave Valley Raceway. In addition to Roa, car owner, and teammate Tommy Dunkel competed in his first USAC/CRA main event and placed 11th. 345465502_584784287081013_8619234823621874247_n.jpg Brody Roa and his Inland Rigging #17R. Lance Jennings photo, Roa, who lives in Garden Grove, California, had a little bit of an easier time than his previous two wins. Those victories came at Kings Speedway, and Kern County Raceway Park on April 22nd and 29th, Both of those were hard-fought battles. Last Saturday on the 1/3 mile banked Arizona oval, the veteran driver grabbed the lead on lap four and drove away for a convincing win. The Inland Rigging duo hit the track in qualifying and Roa recorded the fastest time of the night with a lap of 14.275. Dunkel, who lives in Menifee, California, and who was competing in his second-ever USAC/CRA race, was 14th fastest when he stopped the clocks at 16.865. After earning his first Woodland Auto Display Fast Time Award of 2023, Roa nearly swept the show. Sandwiched in between qualifying and the main event, he appeared in the first 10-lap heat race of the night. Starting sixth, he quickly raced up to second. After a lap six yellow, he briefly led the race two times. At the finish, he came charging on the inside and nearly stole the top spot only to lose by less than a half car length. Moments after Roa's heat race, Dunkel rolled onto the track in his white 360-powered #17 for his second-ever USAC/CRA heat. The Menifee, California resident ended up in a battle for fifth and momentarily put his car into that position. In the end, he placed in the same position he started in. With a large crowd in attendance on the very pleasant Arizona spring evening, Roa started the 30-lap main event in sixth position and Dunkel began the race in 13th. Roa poked his nose into third at the end of the first circuit and took full control of the spot on lap two. On the next go-around, he commandeered second, and going into turn one on the fourth lap, he shot into the lead. From that point on, "The Pride of Garden Grove" controlled the remainder of the race. Roa stretched his lead to a ½ straightaway on lap nine. Two laps later, he was into the lapped traffic. Looking perfect through the lappers, he had a full straightaway lead on the 20th circuit and lapped the sixth-place car on lap 22. The only thing that stopped him from lapping cars in the top five was a yellow flag on the 24th go-around. His massive lead was gone for the restart, but once the green flag waved again, he simply walked away from the field to win his fifth main of the year by a half straightaway. Starting 13th, Dunkel had a lot of pack racing going on in front of him. As per usual, he steered clear of the chaos and moved forward from his initial starting spot. At the end of the 30th lap, he crossed the line 11th in the 16-car field. While he is running a limited USAC/CRA schedule and is not shooting for it, Dunkel is ranked fourth in the Rookie of the Year point standings. "When we pulled in after wheel packing, I kind of watched how they were prepping the track and I had an idea it was going to go slick," the happy winner told the appreciative crowd when asked if it was the track he expected. "It was slick, racy, dusty, that is how sprint car tracks should be." "I was probably getting a little timid there at the end. I was kind of keeping an eye on the top. It was not cleaning dust off so I know there was no one there trying it. At least (not) enough to make it work. So, I was like, don't miss the exit off four and get down to one so they cannot slide you down there and we will be good. This car is just incredible. So stoked on how our year has gone so far. It just seems like we make the right calls all night. This DRC chassis makes it easy. We don't even change anything all night. Just show up with the baseline and run it. Maybe put a little bit here and a little bit there and call it a day. It gets around the track so good." "A huge thank you to everyone that supports me," a grateful Roa said when interviewed. "My dad, he doesn't miss any of these. If it weren't for him, I don't know if I could do it alone tonight. He's been with me since day one obviously. I can count on one hand how many (races) he has missed. I am so thankful for my family and my sponsors and everyone that is a part of this deal. Thank you to all you fans that came out. It's an awesome crowd here so I hope we can come back a whole bunch next year." Roa gets this week off, but Dunkel will be back in action in the USAC West Coast Series at the Ventura Raceway this Saturday. It will be his first time back at the beachside 1/5 mile oval since April 8th when he led every single lap in both his 10-lap heat race and the 30-lap VRA main event. For fans who want to see if Dunkel can double down at Ventura on Saturday, spectator gates will open at 3:00 p.m. and the first race will be at 5:30. Adult tickets are $22.00. Seniors 60 and over, military and students with ID get in for $18.00. Children 12 and under are free when they are accompanied by a paid adult. The track is located on the Ventura County Fairgrounds at 10 W. Harbor Boulevard (93001). The website is http://venturaraceway.com/ and the office phone number is (805) 648-RACE. Roa will be back on the track when the USAC/CRA Series visits the famous Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare for the "Chris and Brian Faria Memorial" on May 20th. The veteran racer will arrive there with a 120-point lead in the championship standings. As always, Roa would be more than happy to jump in a race car on his weekends off from the #17R. His entire schedule is printed below. If anybody wishes to contact him about open dates, they can do so at 714-932-7994 or mailto:brodyroa91@gmail.com who is responsible for this team.

  GRANT SEXTON PLACES 12TH AT KERN COUNTY - HEADS TO ARIZONA THIS SATURDAY

  (Lakeside, CA, May 2, 2023) Grant Sexton made his first 410 sprint car appearance at the Dirt Track at the Kern County Raceway Park when the USAC/CRA Series visited last Saturday night. The teenage racer started 15th and finished 12th in the 30-lap main. In doing so, he extended his lead in the Rookie of the Year standings going into this week's race at the Mohave Valley Raceway. The 2021 POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series champion turned in a lap of 15.413 in qualifying. That was the 15th fastest time of the session. For his nine-car heat race, the 18-year-old Lakeside, California resident began in the eighth spot. When the 10-lapper ended, he rolled under the checkered flag in seventh. For the second week in a row, Sexton impressed in the 30-lap main event. Coming from his 15th-place starting spot, he worked the bottom like a seasoned pro. With 10 laps to go, he had passed eight cars and was up to seventh place, the same position he finished a week earlier at Kings Speedway. Unfortunately, a hole in turn one caught him late in the race and he dropped back to 12th. While he finished five spots better at Kings, this race may have been more impressive as he passed seven cars before the turn one cavity took its toll. Sexton remained 11th in the USAC/CRA Series standings. Going into this weekend's race at Mohave, he is only 5 points out of the 10th position and just 16 out of ninth. In addition, he has a comfortable 114-point lead in the Rookie of the Year chase. For fans who would like to see the fast-rising teen in action on Saturday, Mohave Valley Raceway is located just minutes from the Colorado River and only 20 minutes from Laughlin, Nevada. The address is 2750 E. Laguna Road, Mohave Valley, AZ (86440). The office phone number is 928-336-4000 and the website is mohavevalleyraceway. Adult tickets are $25.00. For seniors 60 and over and military (with id), it is $20.00. Kids 6-12 are just $5.00 and children 5 and under are free. Tickets are cash only (no ATM on site). Concessions, the souvenir stand, and the beer garden are cash or card. Gates will open at 5:30 p.m. and racing will begin at 7:30. After this Saturday, Sexton Gatlin Racing will get a week off before family patriarch Brent Sexton and oldest son Dalton take on the POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprints at the Barona Speedway on May 13th. Brent, the defending SWLS champion, enters that race as the point leader. The following week Grant will return to action at "California's Baddest Bullring," the Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, on May 20th. One week later, the entire team will be at Perris Auto Speedway on May 27th for the annual Salute to Indy. On that night, Grant will battle in USAC/CRA while Brent and Dalton will be taking on the other SWLS stars on the famous half-mile clay oval.

  BRODY ROA TAKES SECOND USAC/CRA WIN IN A ROW AT KERN COUNTY

  (Cypress, CA, May 1, 2023) For the second week in a row, Garden Grove, California's Brody Roa took a hard-fought win in the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series. The victory, which came at the Kern County Raceway Park In Bakersfield, California, gave Roa four wins in the first 7 series races of 2023. 337526840_1368763633945363_8312799839077374331_n.jpg Brody Roa has won four of the first seven USAC/CRA races this year. Doug Allen photo. The week before at his first race at Kings Speedway in Hanford since 2021, Roa took a hard-fought win in the 30-lap main event. Saturday's race was tougher and he had to come from behind to do it! Before he got to the main event, Roa had a good start in the city known as "California's Country Music Capital." He was the third-fastest qualifier in the 17-car field and won his 10-lap heat race after starting in sixth position. Like his heat race, Roa started sixth in the Inland Rigging #17R in the main event. Staying on the outside line, he advanced two positions up to fourth by the end of the second lap. He dropped to the bottom on lap four and slid into third. He went straight back to the top of the racetrack and five laps later, he charged into second place. At that point, all that was between Roa and the leader was a lot of real estate. Like a half straightaway worth! The "Pride of Garden Grove" began chipping away at the leader's advantage and by the time the 14th lap rolled around, he was only inches behind. However, as the leader and Roa approached the first bend another car slid to a stop in the middle of the corner. Both tried to take evasive action. Roa was able to steer to the inside and get past the stopped car. However, the same could not be said for the leader who tried to go around the outside and made contact. That meant Roa would be the leader when the race restarted. Roa quickly pulled away on the restart and built up a near two-second advantage by the end of lap 19. It seemed like the race was his, but another car spun coming off turn two. That brought out another yellow flag and the complexion of the race was about to change. When the green light flashed on again, Roa got a good restart and went back to the top. Unfortunately, that restart was not good enough. The second-place car manned the bottom and took the lead from Roa before they completed lap 19. If that was not enough, the third-place car also used the bottom to pass him coming off turn two. Suddenly with 10 laps to go, Roa had been relegated back to third, but he was not done yet. Not wanting to go to the bottom, Roa stayed true to the outside line and began to build up momentum. By the time the 23rd go-round had concluded, he had raced back to second. The 2019 USAC Southwest Sprint Car Series champion stalked the leader and he caught him on lap 25. He continued to run the top until coming off turn four at the end of the 25th circuit when he crossed back underneath his foe and reclaimed the lead. Seconds later, a bobble coming off turn two saw him momentarily fall from the top spot but he drove the bottom hard and found himself back out front in turn three. Roa built up a small lead and it appeared that the drama in this one was over. That was not the case. He started the final lap with a three-car advantage. He stayed wide but caught a small rut coming off turn four the final time. It momentarily upset the car. However, Roa gathered it in, stayed on the throttle, and ended up taking the win in a photo finish. His margin of victory was .026!!! "We are stoked," Roa said after climbing out of his car. "After the heat race, I didn't know if we really had it. As soon as we fired off (for the main) we were really good. Tommy (third-place finisher Tommy Malcolm) and Mitch (second-place finisher Mitchell Moles) got me on that restart. I kinda' had to regroup and grab some knobs and dial this thing back in a little bit. I don't know if it was that or me just getting my elbows back up." "Yeah, it was definitely wide," Roa responded when asked about the track prep. "I am not a fan of the bottom right now anyways and I really don't like rough. Neither line was good but I definitely wasn't going to go to the bottom. Tommy and Mitchell both got me on the bottom and I said I just cannot go down there and run, that is not for me. So let's try to keep working the top. I finally got it rolling again and was able to get them. The track definitely widened out. I am glad it was not follow the leader around the bottom. It was two lanes of racing and elbows up hang on for sure." Roa's performance at KCRP saw him leave the track with a bulging 110-point lead in the championship point standings. He is off to one of the best starts in the history of the USAC/CRA Series. In seven races, he has four wins, two second-place finishes, and a fifth. His main event finishing percentage is an amazing 1.85!!! This Saturday, May 6th, Roa heads to the 1/3 mile banked Mohave Valley Raceway in Arizona. He has two previous appearances at the track. The first came last October when he started 11th in the 30-lap main. On that night, the savvy racer drove through the field and scored a convincing win before a packed house. He made his second appearance there five weeks ago. On that occasion, he was the second-fastest qualifier, started sixth, and won his heat race. He started sixth in the 30-lap main event and came home second. It was one of only three times this season that the talented driver did not take home the USAC/CRA winner's trophy. Roa will have a teammate at Mohave Valley this Saturday. Inland Rigging team owner Tommy Dunkel will be back in the saddle for the race in the "Copper State." At the April 1st race, the Menifee, California driver placed ninth in the B main. One week later he led every inch of the way for his first-ever sprint car main event win in the VRA Series at the Ventura Raceway. It will be Dunkel's fourth sprint car start of the season. For fans who would like to see the Inland Rigging Team drivers in action on Saturday, Mohave Valley Raceway is located just minutes from the Colorado River and only 20 minutes from Laughlin, Nevada.

  BRODY ROA TAKES HIS THIRD USAC/CRA WIN OF 2023 AT KINGS SPEEDWAY IN HANFORD

  (Cypress, CA, April 25, 2023) Brody Roa turned in another stellar performance in the Inland Rigging #17R and won his third USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series main event in the Spanky Matthews Memorial last Saturday at the Kings Speedway in Hanford. Leading the last 25-laps, the hard fought victory allowed him to extend his advantage in the championship standings to 79-points heading into this Saturday's race at the Kern County Raceway Park in Bakersfield. PAS 3_18_23=17r=8975-3#5BC8.jpg Brody Roa in the Inland Rigging #17R. Doug Allen photo. Last Saturday's race was slated to be the second of the year on the 4/10 mile banked clay oval at the Kings County Fairgrounds. However, the first race there on March 24th was canceled due to rain. When Roa and the team arrived for last Saturday's race, the crew was a little slimmer than normal as some members had commitments that kept them from attending the event. Only Roa, his father Brett, and team owner Tommy Dunkel were wrenching on the car. After winning the first two races of the year at Cocopah Speedway near Yuma, Arizona on the last weekend in January, Roa had gone three races without finishing first. However, in the three series races between his Yuma and Hanford victories, he had second-place finishes at Perris and Mohave as well as a fifth at Perris one week before his latest triumph. Saturday started off with Roa steering the #17R to the third-fastest time in qualifying with a lap of 16.255. That proved to be the only time the Garden Grove, Californian finished anywhere but first on the night. For his 10-lap heat race, he started fifth but quickly weaved his way to the lead. Coming off turn four on the first lap, he steered the Inland Rigging Special into second and then commandeered the lead in turn one on the second lap. Once out front, he led the remainder of the way and scored the win by about four-car lengths. For the main, "The Pride of Garden Grove" began the race on the inside of row five. However, he was not there for long. With a spectacular start, he momentarily poked his nose into second in turn two on the very first circuit. He did drop back to third but make no mistake about it, the competition knew the heat was going to be on. A picture-perfect slider in turn two on the third lap shot Roa into second place. He then chased down the leader and in another sweet move, took over the top spot in turn four on lap five. By the end of the 10th circuit, Roa had established a half-straightaway lead and it looked like it was going to be a walk in the park. As things turned out after a lap 11 yellow, the veteran driver had to fight hard to maintain the top spot and score the win. Roa continued to set the pace when the green flag came out but he was under big-time fire. In fact, the second-place car poked his nose ahead of the point leader in turn four on lap 13. Roa managed to fight off that advance. Several times in the remaining laps the second-place car made concerted advances and a couple of times pulled alongside the leader. Each time Roa repelled the attempts. After fending off one last try to relieve him of the lead coming off four on the final lap, Roa won the main by three-car lengths. "When he (second place finisher Austin Williams) was trying to slide me, I knew he was probably running the top down here (turns one and two) and getting a run," the happy Roa said after the race. "I didn't want to change it up and be open for a slider down there. I was really kind of running defensive as soon as he showed me a nose. I knew we were faster than what we were. I just didn't want to open it up for him to get in there. Congratulations to those guys. I think they may have been a little bit better (than himself) than us. I don't know." "Kind of taking a year off (from USAC/CRA) last year and this year coming back and running for the championship again, we are off to a killer start with this new team," Roa continued. "Inland Rigging, Dunkel Farms, and the Dunkel family came on board this year to make this happen. In January I was not sure I was going to race past Cocopah. Thanks to them and all of my other supporters including my wife and family, and daughter." Roa gets right back at it this Saturday when the series makes its only 2023 stop at the Kern County Raceway Park in Bakersfield. His last series appearance at the track in March 2021 was a two-night affair. He led 44 of the 60 main event laps that weekend. On the first night, he had the yellow flag-plagued main event in the bag when he ran out of fuel with five laps remaining. After getting fuel he restarted at the back and drove all the way up to seventh at the finish. The following night he led the 1st 22 laps before getting tangled up with lap traffic and eventually placing second. Kern County Raceway Park, the site of this Saturday's race, is located at 13500 Raceway Boulevard, Interstate 5, and Enos Lane in Bakersfield. Spectator gates will open at 5:00 p.m. with cars on the track for wheel packing at 5:45 and racing at 7:00. Adult tickets are $25.00. For juniors 6-10 it is $10.00 and children 5 and under are free. There is free overnight camping at the facility. The track website is https://www.kernraceway.com/ and the office phone is 661-835-1264.

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

  (Cypress, CA, April 20, 2023) Brody Roa steered the Inland Rigging #17R sprint car to a hard-fought fifth-place finish in last Saturday's USAC/CRA main event at Perris Auto Speedway. The finish allowed the Garden Grove, California veteran to expand his lead to 52 points heading into this Saturday's "Spanky Mathews Memorial" at Peter Murphy's Kings Speedway in Hanford, California. 336023080_661915405694220_9217967785054651004_n.jpg Brody Roa getting his bike on at Perris in March. Anthony Hernandez photo. Roa came into Saturday with two wins and two runnerup finishes in the first four races of 2023. The week prior, teammate Tommy Dunkel dominated at Ventura leading the entire distance of his heat race and the main event. Needless to say, the Inland Rigging team came into the night as the hottest sprint car team on the west coast. Roa started out hot like he has been all year long. In qualifying, he was the third fastest in the 20-car field with a lap of 16.614. Being third quickest met that the veteran driver would have to start in the sixth position, in the third 10-lap heat race. From there he rolled forward and came home with a second-place finish. Roa began the 30-lap main event on the inside of the third row in fifth. Over the first half of the race, he was one of the combatants in a great seesaw battle from third back to seventh. After the first red flag of the race with 13-laps to go, Roa found speed on the top of the racetrack and shot all the way up to third. At that point, he looked to perhaps be the fastest car on the track with plenty of time left. However, another red flag halted his progress. On that red, the crew chief in one of the cars running up front advised his driver of the progress Roa had been making on that line. When racing began again, that driver wisely moved up into the lane Roa had been running and slowed his progress and insuring himself of the win. A few laps later, the Steve Russell checkered flag ended the race and Roa placed fifth. While it was his worst USAC/CRA finish of the year, he has yet to finish out of the top five in the series in 2023. "Average," Roa said when asked to assess his performance. "It was one of those nights where I think the track kind of played out to nobody doing anything spectacular. I think we had a chance there in the middle of the race before that last red. I Heard Matt Mitchell (the winner of the race) during his post-race interview say that Tommy (Mitchell's crew chief Tommy Horne) told him I was running the top. I knew that second red was kind of going to ruin our chances. We made a good run around the top right before that. I knew Matt would move up and take the lane away." "We had a chance without that red," Roa continued. "Between the reds I kind of tuned on the shocks a little bit. I really committed to it (the top). After that first red everybody really committed to the bottom and did not float up in the middle like they were and they left the lane open." The next three weeks are quick turnovers for the Inland Rigging team. This week Roa and the 17R head to King's Speedway. A week from Saturday, April 29th, they head north again to The Dirt Track at Kern County Raceway Park. After that it will be time to head east for a May 6th date at Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway where Roa has a win and a second-place finish in two appearances. Mohave Valley will also see the return of Roa's teammate Tommy Dunkel. "I would race every day if I could," Roa laughed when asked if he liked racing four weeks in a row. "It is what we love to do. I am happy to get back to Hanford. We have not been there in two years. I think the program we have now is going to be really good around that place. We have always run pretty good there. We have won in a 360 there but have not run a 410 there a lot. Hopefully, we can knock off a win there, too." Two years ago at Hanford, Roa had a third-place finish in the USAC/West Coast 360 sprint cars and a second in the King of Thunder Bandits. He also placed 22nd in one of the few winged races he has contested in his career. Fans who wish to journey to Kings Speedway to see Roa in action on Saturday can find the track at 801 S 10th Ave., in Hanford. Adult tickets are $20.00. Seniors 62+, Military with id and kids 7-17 are $15.00. Advance tickets are available at https://www.myracepass.com/tracks/1797/tickets/1325100.

  JUSTYN COX SCORES FIRST EVER NARC WIN: CONQUERS THE LUCRATIVE DENNIS ROTH CLASSIC AT THE THUNDERBOWL

  (4/15/23 - Ben Deatherage) Tulare, California ... Front row starter Justyn Cox put together a near flawless performance and pocketed $18,383.00 for winning the final night of the Dennis Roth Classic with the NARC 410 Sprint Series. Racing the Bates-Hamilton Racing/Benefit RFP/Lippert Construction #42X Kistler/Maxim, Cox lead wire-to-wire in the 30-lap NAPA Auto Parts feature at Thunderbowl Raceway to score his first career series victory. Cox took command of the race from the initial green flag running high up on the cushion, inches from the wall. On the eighth-circuit he was presented with his first dose of lapped traffic, something he had to deal with on throughout the headliner. However, he managed to stay calm, cool, and collected as he zigged and zagged through slower cars, while banging the outer wall as he let it all hang out. Four total stoppages occurred, but Cox mastered all the restarts to hold off his competition. Corey Day, running for car owner Jason Meyers and piloting the Meyers Constructors/Four C's Construction/Autry Plumbing #14 Kistler/KPC, challenged Justyn numerous times but couldn't make it stick. Day had two opportunities with just five laps remaining to overtake Cox, but Cox answered the call. "I'm in disbelief!" stated the very excited and emotional winner. "I forgot to believe in myself last year, and I can't believe I'm up here! I've worked my entire life to do something cool, and we did it tonight. To win at Tulare is awesome, and anyone who knows me knows this track scares me, so to do that is simply amazing." Corey Day finished in a respectable runner-up and pocketed $9,000 for his efforts. He was chased to the checkered by tenth starter Justin Sander, racing for Demo Mittry in his Farmer's Brewing/North County Plastering/MittryConstruction.com #2X Speedway/Maxim. The rest of the top five consisted of the Works Limited #57W Speedway/EMI of Shane Golobic and Chase Johnson in the Toyota of Marin, Walnut Creek, and Sunnyvale/Price Family Dealerships #24 Kistler/Maxim. Rounding out the top ten was Chase Johnson, Washington driver Trey Starks, Bud Kaeding, Corey Eliason, Tim Kaeding, and defending series champ Dominic Scelzi. The Shane DeWald Trucking/NexGen Diesel Exhaust Fluid/RTR Diesel Performance #18T Rider/Maxim of Tanner Holmes earned the Williams Roofing Hard Charger Award after starting 20th and finishing 11th.

  COREY DAY WINS DENNIS ROTH CLASSIC PRELUDE WITH LATE RACE PASS AT TULARE

  (4/14/23 - Ben Deatherage) Tulare, CA ... Eleventh starting Corey Day continued his tight grip of dominance in NARC 410 Sprint Series action as he won the Prelude To The Dennis Roth Classic at Thunderbowl Raceway. His winning ride in the 30-lap NAPA Auto Parts feature was the Jason Meyers-owned Meyers Constructors/Four C's Construction #14 Kistler-powered KPC. It is Day's eighth career victory with the tour for the Clovis kid and the first time he has bested the field at the Tulare County Fairgrounds 1/3-mile clay oval. The feature was a caution-plagued affair in the opening laps, including a lap one red flag incident. Shane Golobic, driving the Works Limited #57 Speedway/EMI, had the initial lead but got collected in the aforementioned stoppage. That gave the top position to Washington-hired gun Trey Starks, driving for Scelzi Motorsports. Starks, in the Scelzi Motorsports/Whipple Superchargers/Red Line Oil #4R Kistler/Maxim, had to deal with several restarts but managed to keep all challengers in check. However, Day built a boatload of positive momentum late in the race to maneuver via the bottom to his way to P1. Corey successfully obtained the top spot on lap twenty-seven to be the new trailblazer and held on the balance of the distance. "I didn't think my first Tulare win would have come like that!" said Corey Day, "People usually think I like only running top don't know I like running the bottom just as much. That was a good race for us. I have to take my hat off to Shane (Bowers) because we struggled early in the night, and he always makes the right decisions at critical times to get us where we need to be." Trey Starks managed to end the evening runner-up the while his teammate Dominic Scelzi, driving his Scelzi Motorsports/Whipple Superchargers/Red Line Oil #41 Kistler/Maxim, posted a third-place result. Cory Eliason, racing for Dennis and Theresa Roth for the first time since 2018, put the Roth Enterprises/HR Livestock Transportation/Roth Motorsports #83 Speedway/Maxim in fourth. Lastly, driving for car owner Demo Mittry, Justin Sanders completed the top five, in fifth, after having to come from the back in the Farmer's Brewing/North County Plastering/MittryConstruction.com #2X Shark Racing Engines/Maxim. Tim Kaeding, driving the Williams Motorsports/Dalton's Landscaping/Kiwi Transportation #0 Maxwell/Maxim, earned the Williams Roofing Hard Charger Award with a plus-thirteen run in the main event. The balance of the top ten was Ryan Bernal, Chase Johnson, Dylan Bloomfield, and Bud Kaeding.

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

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

  DENNIS ROTH CLASSIC DOUBLE HEADER AT TULARE NEXT ON TAP FOR NARC; $18,383 TO WIN ON SATURDAY NIGHT

  (April 10, 2023 - Ben Deatherage), Tulare, CA ... Thunderbowl Raceway will feature two nights of incredible action this weekend as NAPA Auto Parts presents the NARC 410 Sprint Series for the Dennis Roth Classic. The Tulare 1/3-mile action track will host the tour on Friday, April 14th, and Saturday, the 15th, for the series' first doubleheader of the 2023 season. Saturday night will have a fantastic payout of $18,383.00 to the winner. Rico Abreu won the race last year in an electrifying battle in the main event. "This race is a true honor to Dennis and Teresa Roth." said Roth Motorsports Team Manager Todd Ventura. "Fellow competitors and Dennis' peers were the ones that wanted to have this event. When you have people with that amount of respect for you like Brent Kaeding, Jim Allen, and Ashley Smith who talked about it and made it come together, we are honored to be a part of it." Dennis Roth and his wife, Teresa, are longtime Sprint Car supporters nationwide. Their race team, Roth Motorsports, boasts over 100 World Of Outlaw feature victories and multiple titles in California. "It's a big deal for us because Dennis has been a great supporter of this race track," commented Steve Faria, promoter of Thunderbowl Raceway. "He's a special friend and we're trying to make something special out of it." Thunderbowl Raceway, since 2001, has had twenty-six different winners in the last fifty-six shows that the NARC 410 Sprint Series has put on. The house of Kaeding has reigned supreme as they are level at the top with seven wins each for Brent and Tim. Amazingly sixteen drivers have accomplished just a single triumph over the years. "It's an honor to be able to put on this race for Dennis Roth," stated NARC 410 Series General Manager Jim Allen, "he's done so much for motorsports, and this is a real-world and real-life tribute that we are proud to honor those contributions." Who to Watch Corey Day is coming off an incredible win at Kings Speedway last weekend at the Anthony Simone Classic. It was his seventh career NARC 410 Sprint Series triumph in twenty-eight starts. The Clovis teenager was third at last year's Roth Classic, and this is the only time he has been on the podium at the Thunderbowl with the tour. Aromas driver Justin Sanders was the runner-up to Day last Saturday in Hanford. Over the years at Thunderbowl, Justin has netted just one top five, a fourth at last year's Roth, and two tens in five career NARC 410 Sprint Series starts at the track. Tim Kaeding is again teaming up with the famed Williams Motorsports #0 team. As mentioned above, the San Jose driver was sixth at the Simone last weekend and is tied with Brent Kaeding, for the most wins at Tulare. TK was seventh in the 2022 edition of the Roth Classic and, on top of his seven wins, has ten podiums, fourteen Top 5s, and twenty-one Top 10s in thirty-one starts. Kraig Kinser of Bloomington, Indiana, will make a guest appearance with the NARC 410 Sprint Series. He has four career starts with the series, all in 2015, co-sanctioned with the World Of Outlaws, and just one top ten result. That was a tenth-place result at Tulare on March 14th. Bud Kaeding is a driver to be on the lookout for, as the Campbell chauffeur knows how to pilot his way around the 1/3-mile clay oval. Bud has three career NARC 410 Sprint Series victories at the facility, most recently in 2018, in thirty-eight starts since 2001. Kaeding is also second on the all-time modern era list in the podium (14), Top 5 (20), and Top 10 (30) categories, with an average finish of 7.57. Also expected to compete will be Lemoore's Cole Macedo, Fremont standout Shane Golobic, Tanner Holmes of Jacksonville, Oregon, Penngrove pilot Chase Johnson, two-time defending series champion Dominic Scelzi from Fresno, Clarksburg driver Justyn Cox, Ryan Bernal from Roseville, Oakley's Dylan Bloomfield; Templeton's Kaleb Montgomery, Nick Parker from Tuscon, and many more!

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

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

  NARC NEWSLINE - APRIL 4, 2023

  NARC NEWSLINE - APRIL 4, 2023, By Jim Allen ... Let's be honest, motorsports have taken some serious blows in the past three years. First, we got hit with COVID-19, then a totally unexpected tire shortage, and now a lunatic Mother Nature of California acting like she's got the world's worst case of PMS. The Golden State headlines are dominated by record rainfall, storms, and flooding that has forced the cancellation and postponement of many racing events. Meteorologist's call it an "Atmospheric River." I think I speak on behalf of everybody reading this column when I call it a "pain in the butt." It's one thing to rain, but to have so water that most dirt track infields resemble fishing ponds doesn't work. There is literally no place left for it to drain. Social media is loaded with track photos showing newfound lakes, ponds, swamps, leaking levees, and flooding. The Tulare Fairgrounds is now a disaster relief center for animals after a recent levee break. The Kings Speedway overflow pond is full and there is no place to pump the water unless the neighboring airport wants to start practicing water landings. The grounds surrounding the Stockton Dirt Track resemble swamp lands in Florida and I'm waiting for an alligator to crawl up to the staging area. Then there is Silver Dollar Speedway where haulers entering the pits would be like a tagline for a horror movie: "They all went in, but nobody came out." It's more suited for Monster Trucks. And for places like Petaluma, Merced, Antioch, Watsonville, Placerville, KCRP, and Santa Maria, pumping water is part of the morning ritual. In the meantime, racing teams are getting anxious, promoters wonder when it will end, and fans are enduring some serious withdrawals. And the main reason we dislike it is because we can't do anything about it. It's totally out of our control. Don't you hate when that happens? Promoter Tony Noceti was all geared up for his big April 1st Asparagus Cup at Stockton but got cannonballed in the days leading up to the show, completely drenching the place. He held out for as long as he could but was forced to pull the proverbial plug two days before the show. At that point, social media lit up like the press coverage of Donald Trump going to New York, proclaiming the show should be moved to Placerville Speedway or Kern County Raceway Park. Contrary to belief, we looked into one of those options but with just 48 hours' notice, it just couldn't happen. Contrary to belief, racetracks gear up for events, not just open the gate on race day and hope there is beer and food and people to work the facility. Then there is the other wild card and that is the racer and the fan correlation. We know 100%, beyond a reasonable doubt, that most teams will show up naked to race lawnmowers in the snow. One thing they don't do is race for free and without a large crowd, the promoter's wallet would bleed red ink like it was in a spaghetti strainer. That's not a workable scenario. So now, we just wait. HEY JIM, DID YOU MENTION SANTA MARIA? By design, I actually did. Many of you are asking questions about the beleaguered facility. Is it still open? Will NARC go there again? Is the track up for sale? I heard there is five races scheduled this year - is that true? And your answers are … SORT OF, WE WANT TO, YUP, and PROBABLY. But seriously, what is happening at Santa Maria Raceway would make Doug Fort roll over in his grave. What most people think is that the encroaching housing development hates racing, and the track is being sued into non-existence. While there is some truth in that statement, it's really not that way - in a twisted sort of way. Let me explain: What the housing development has a problem with is the other "entertainment activities" that take place at the track. And we are not talking about something underhanded like a gambling hall or a strip club. Promoter Nick Duggan and his group of track investors had great plans for the iconic facility and discovered a gold mine opportunity by adding "Mexican Rodeos" to the mix. It would help make ends meet in a tough business. To put the Mexican Rodeo's in real world terms, it's are absolutely huge. They literally make a crowd at a World of Outlaws show look like small family picnic. SMR was literally packed with families enjoying the rodeo, live music, and other related activities. And they left the place cleaner than when they found it. That's a WIN that also happens to reel in local community involvement and support for the facility. According to legal documents filed by resident lawyers in the neighboring subdivision, it was stated that the Raceway needed an "entertainment license" if they held any activities besides racing. Not to mention, they also want to require a $100,000 EPA Study to make sure the ground was safe for farm animals and touring rock bands. So, the track went to PLAN B in an attempt to placate the locals. Duggan & Company did the right thing and secured the license and incorporated a little "off-road racing" into the next two Mexican Rodeo events. Sounds reasonable, eh? The best of all worlds, right? NOPE! The homeowner's association felt that effort bypassed the intention of what they were trying to accomplish and stated there wasn't enough racing to make it a "racing" event. Somewhere in the middle of all that, they also wanted half of the revenue from those events. Shortly thereafter, the aforementioned entertainment license was rescinded by San Luis Obispo County officials and the track was fined $25,000. Man, you can't make this stuff up! The good news is because the Raceway was an established facility, several local establishments went to bat for the track, including the police and fire departments. They wrote letters and eventually, the fine was dropped down to $5,000. While that was good, it's still a fine for $5000. Just pile that on top of the other $200,000 in legal fees and just about anybody of sane mind and body would wonder why Duggan didn't invest in a Quick Quack Car Wash instead. To put those expenses in perspective, that would take a few successful racing seasons to recuperate - and that is if nothing else goes wrong. At this juncture, the track is still up for sale. If you have $2.7M burning a hole in your pocket or laying around in your 401K, Santa Maria Raceway could be the business of your dreams (or nightmares if local lawyers continue on their mission.) But don't wait too long because the land may be more valuable than the track itself. A storage unit company offered $1.8M and wanted one-year of due diligence to make sure they were not assuming an assortment of hidden liabilities. That didn't get accepted. Camping World also stepped up to the offer table with $2.2M, which also included an extended "no racing" holding period. However, that offer got pulled back when it was discovered the facility is geographically in a flood plain. To build a Camping World would require prior approval by … you ready for this … FEMA, Fish & Game, and the Army Corp of Engineers which maintains and fixes any levee issues. Then there is the ultimate trump card. It's called CEQA, which is the California Environmental Quality Act. It requires state and local government to inform decision makers and the public about potential environmental impacts of proposed projects and to reduce them. So based on that statement which I borrowed off Google, if we all step back for just a second and take a deep breath, it's actually easier to keep Santa Maria Raceway a racing facility than to actually build on the property. They just can't do rodeos, concerts, gambling, flea markets, or strip club related activities. In the meantime, track manager David Castaneda has scheduled a few events in an attempt to keep the track relevant. While this is going on, legal expenses, fines, and property tax bills still need to be paid and facility maintenance needs to keep moving forward. It might not be a winnable battle. Castaneda, who actually received a few death threats when the track was initially closed, has a handful of USAC/CRA events scheduled this summer (hopefully). The ownership group is also open for a third-party to come in and promote an event on their own. There have been a few inquiries, but nothing serious yet. Could it be that they are leery of possibly becoming a defendant on a legal document? Does this answer all of your questions, or just leave you shaking your head in disbelief? I can see the heads shaking now! No, this isn't another April Fools story, this is the real deal! If we think that the likes of Kyle Larson, Brad Sweet, Tony Stewart and Jeff Gordon are going to ante up millions to buy tracks out of the goodness of their hearts, it probably isn't a realistic expectation. In addition to being successful race car drivers, they are successful businessmen. Most investors demand a return on their initial investment within a five-year period. A $2M racetrack purchase equates to cashing out $400,000 a year. That might happen at a Knoxville or Eldora, but probably not at a dirt track in California. If our racetracks were netting $400,000 per year, we would see Tony Noceti, Scott Russell, Steve Faria and Rick Faeth and others lined up doing the doing the "happy dance" on the front straightaway. (I apologize for that visual.) Now you have to admit, after reading this, the problems at Calistoga Speedway don't seem so bad compared to Santa Maria. The reality is there is a lot of work to be done and it's not just at those two tracks. Perris Auto Speedway is located smack dab in the middle of a proposed State water project and a legal battle related to make the Perris Dam more earthquake safe. State officials want to close the facility to do the work with the promise it will be completed by 2025. Sure, you betcha! And I've got some swamp land at the Stockton Dirt Track I would like to sell you or review the timeline and budget of something called the "Bullet Train to nowhere." (For news on the Perris situation, go here … https://www.pressenterprise.com/2022/09/04/perris-dam-project-threatens-perris-auto-speedway-fairgrounds-businesses-lawsuit-alleges/) We also heard through the grapevine that several hotel chains are drooling over the property that is now Ventura Speedway. Ocean views and a beach just 100 yards from the front lobby is in the Embassy Suites business handbook. The bottom line is we can only dream about some big motorsport icons coming in to purchase Calistoga Speedway and restore it to its 2019 pre-covid luster. Or maybe a race fan will win one of those gigantic billion-dollar Powerball lotteries and take care of everything. It's probably has the same odds. Now the purpose of sharing all of this information is not to get you depressed or upset. Just know that your beloved racetracks are under attack and promoters are fighting hard to save them. Some of those promoters are literally backed into a corner. If you really want to step up for dirt track racing, we need you to sit down - like in a seat at your local dirt track on race day. And while you are at it, bring a friend, or two. We need packed grandstands at every motorsports event in California. Maybe then, somebody will take notice and realize that the racing community pumps a lot of money into the local economy, and we are one of the best marketing demographics in the U.S.A. Amen! NARC NOTES: Fire suppression systems are mandatory by May 1st. An informal poll of NARC regulars show most are way ahead of the curve and are already installed. … It sure is nice to see racetracks finally offering "SEASON PASSES" to diehard race fans. … Joel Myers Jr. is taking no prisoners in New Zealand these days. He is winning everything back there and hopes to parlay that into a few NARC victories this season. … Along those lines, there are a ton of young drivers on the NARC tour looking to take the next step in their careers. Who will win their first NARC feature event of their career this season? Your choices are, in no particular order, Dylan Bloomfield, Max Mittry, Blake Carrick, Kaleb Montgomery, Joel Myers Jr., Tanner Holmes, Nick Parker, Tanner Carrick, Cole Macedo and Joey Ancona. That is one heck of a heat race if you put them all together. … … We welcome some new sponsors to our ranks this year including NAPA Auto Parts, Beacon Wealth Strategies, Williams Roofing, Diversified Machine, LifelineUSA, & D & D Roofing. We couldn't do it without them. If you have a lead on a presenting sponsor for our series, please contact me. Please support those who support sprint car racing. … As you may have seen, Ben Deatherage is our new Media Specialist this season, replacing Alex Nieten who now works for the World of Outlaws. He has already created some great marketing pieces and authors a new column called "NARC BY THE NUM*ER5! Make sure you check it out. You can also listen to his Inside NARC interviews online and his multitude of interviews on Highside Racing Promotions. … You can catch NARC on Floracing, but as I stated earlier, we really need you at the track. … Tim Kaeding needs a full-time 410 ride. … It is going to be nice to see a little more of Andy Forsberg and Sean Becker this season. Both have more 410 events on their schedule. … Let the High Limit races begin! ... For those of you who may be interested in some golf during the Fastest Four Days in Motorsports adventure, send me a DM. I'm planning to fill in some downtime. And finally, we've got a ton of racing coming up. Peter Murphy is hard at it to make sure Kings Speedway is race-ready for Saturday's (4/8/23) $10,000 to win Anthony Simone Classic. The pit area might not be perfect when we arrive, but the alternative is sitting at home surfing crap-shows on Netflix for the 300th time. I'll take racing for $10,000 Alex! This show also includes a 15-lap non-wing NARC feature. By the way, if you get a chance, make sure you stop by the NAPA Auto Parts store in Hanford between 10:00 a.m. and NOON on Saturday. Our two-time NARC champion Dominic Scelzi will have his hauler and car on display and will be signing autographs. And ... possibly handing out some free stuff. The address is 380 W 8th St, Hanford, CA 93230. We follow up the Simone show with the highly anticipated Dennis Roth Classic on April 14-15th at the Thunderbowl Raceway. The winner will walk away with $18,383 on Saturday night. The extra $83 comes via a contribution by Brad Kennedy in case you were wondering. Look for Roth Motorsports to have two or three cars running in the event. By the way, in addition to the enhanced purse, individual event winners take home a Roth ice chest full of meat. Fast time is worth 10 lbs. of New York Strip. Heat race winners take home 20 lbs. of Tri-Tip. And the Dennis Roth Classic winner will be loaded up with 30 lbs. of Ribeye. Of course, the Sunnyvalley Dash winner takes home 10 lbs. of the best bacon on the planet. A clean sweep of the program comes with a free cholesterol check. We conclude the month of April - Mother Nature permitting - on April 29th. The NARC 410 sprint cars will be returning to Antioch Speedway for the first time since 2017. Everybody is pretty stoked about the Contra Costa County Clash. We will see you there! Coming to you live from Auburn, CA. See ya.

  $10,000 T0 Win Anthony Simone Classic Looks To Lead Off 2023 NARC 410 Sprint Series Season

  (April 3, 2023 - Ben Deatherage) Hanford, CA ... For the third time in about as many weeks, the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series, presented by NAPA Auto Parts, hopes to fire off the 2023 season in California. The previous two races have been washed away due to wet weather but that streak will end when the tour heads to Kings Speedway for the Anthony Simone Classic on Saturday, April 8th. Good weather is in the forecast and the winner of the 30-lap NAPA headliner will pocket a cool $10,000 at the end of the night. "We've been waiting for the weather the change so that we can race," commented Kings Speedway promoter Peter Murphy. "Hopefully we can be one of the first ones to get going here so everyone can come out and celebrate racing again, especially with the Anthony Simone being 'Mr. Excitement' as he was as last year's race you had to be there." It will be the third edition of the Anthony Simone Classic, a tradition that began in 2021. Shane Golobic of Fremont won the inaugural event, while the defending race winner is Rico Abreu. Returning to the program will be a non-wing, non-points race to cap the night off. The only time this happened was in the first incarnation of the event, and Indiana driver Tyler Courtney won it. It also was the first time since 1985 that NARC sanctioned a wingless event. "I appreciate the NARC Series, Peter Murphy, and everybody at Kings Speedway that's going to put this race on," said Anthony Simone's son Mauro, "It's a great way to get everybody together, and it's a great race. My dad started running NARC all the way back in 1978." Of the twenty-seven winners in the past fifty-three trips to Kings, Tim Kaeding has amassed the most wins since 2001 with eight trips to victory. In addition, Brent Kaeding has bagged five trophies, while Jonathan Allard and Dominic Scelzi have four each. Who to Watch D.J. Netto will make a hometown stand at Kings looking for his first win with the NARC 410 Sprint Series at Hanford. Netto has accumulated four podiums finishes, seven Top 5s, and seventeen Top 10s in twenty starts. Last season, D.J. won at the Stockton Dirt Track, the fifth of his career in 148 starts with the group. Roseville's Justyn Cox looks forward to hitting the 3/8-mile in the Bates Hamilton Racing #42X entry. Cox posted his lone podium finish of the 2022 campaign with the NARC 410 Sprint Series at Kings and went along with his total of two Top 5s and three Top 10s in six starts in Hanford. Cox is running his first full NARC season since 2016 when he finished third in the final championship standings. Justyn has qualified for forty-one main events throughout his career with the tour and has nineteen Top 10s and five Top 5s. Dylan Bloomfield only made nine starts with the NARC 410 Sprint Series last season in the famed Dave Vertullo #83V machine. Nevertheless, the Oakley teenager had two Top 10 results, one happening at Hanford on October 8th during the Morrie Williams Memorial. He will be representing a large contingent of young drivers that include last seasons rookie of the year Max Mittry of Redding, Clovis driver Corey Day, Joey Ancona of Concord, Templeton driver and Oregon driver Tanner Holmes. Billy Aton was eighth in NARC 410 Sprint Series final points last year. The Benicia-based chauffeur has five career starts at Kings and has just one Top 10, a seventh-place result on September 25th, 2021. Aton has one series career win, at Santa Maria Raceway in 2021, two Top 5s, and fifteen Top 10s in forty-six feature appearances. Also competing for the huge winners payday will be two-time defending series champion Dominic Scelzi of Fresno, Aromas pilot Justin Sanders, Bud Kaeding of Campbell, Penngrove's Chase Johnson, Fremont's Shane Golobic, Geoffrey Strole from Hanford, Nevada driver Bill Smith, and many more!

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

  (Cypress, CA, March 28, 2023) There will be a bunch of firsts happening for the Inland Rigging Racing Team when it rolls into Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway this Saturday, April 1st. For Brody Roa, it will be the initial time he has been first in USAC/CRA points when competing at the track and the first time he has driven a DRC chassis there. For teammate Tommy Dunkel it will not only be his initial time on the banked 1/3 mile oval but also his first-ever USAC/CRA start. Anthony Hernandez 3-18 PAS #2.jpg Brody Roa while leading the March 18 USAC/CRA main at Perris Auto Speedway. Anthony Hernandez photo. Garden Grove, California's Roa is off to a flying start in the USAC/CRA Series in 2023. In late January he drove to victory in both season-opening races at Arizona's Cocopah Speedway. A few weeks later, the 2016 USAC West Coast and 2019 USAC Southwest Sprint Car champion placed second when Perris Auto Speedway opened the doors for its 27th season. The veteran racer's early season prowess sees him carrying a 22-point lead into the Mohave race. He also has an amazing 1.33 main event finishing average through the first three races. This weekend's race will only mark Roa's second time racing at Mohave. Last October he dazzled the Arizona crowd by winning the main after starting the 30-lapper deep in the field in 11th. It was his third USAC/CRA win of 2023. "I thought it was a lot of fun," Roa said of his first visit to the track. "One and two, there is one fast lane around it. Three and four developed nice where it is right on the lip on the top. The bottom is really difficult to hit. I felt like I had to drive it really hard to make speed down there. It was pretty cool the way the track developed and I had fun. It was kind of technical and fitted my style." With last week's rainouts at Kings Speedway in Hanford and the Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, Roa has not competed in two weeks. He is starting with the car the way he has all year long. So far with two wins, a second and the point lead after three races, things have worked out well. "I am showing up exactly the same way I started at Perris," Roa said. "That is what our game plan has been with it (the new DRC) from Cocopah, to Perris in the races we ran with it. Both those tracks I feel are significantly different and both drove really well. My plan this year is to not over think car set up. I am really good at sitting there and thinking about what I can change to fix things that are not broken. I am trying to show up the same and let the car drive the same every week. It obviously goes pretty fast so I am not trying to over think it." Dunkel was in the top 10 at the Imperial Valley Raceway's So Cal Non-Wing Open Comp. show last month when a steering issue parked him in the waning laps. He is anxiously waiting for his first shot at "Arizona's Baddest Bullring." Judd Neves March Imperial.jpg Tom Dunkel at Imperial in early March. Judd Neves photo. "I have never laid eyes on it," Dunkel said of the Arizona track. "It looks fast and it looks racy. Going into this deal with Brody Roa, saying I am going in blind would be a false statement. With all of their knowledge and experience and Brody winning the last time there in October, that gives me some confidence going in. With those guys I know I am going in with top-notch equipment, top-notch setup, and crew guys. Everything else is there, the final piece of the puzzle is just getting me up to speed." "Oh, big time, yeah," Dunkel laughed when queried about being nervous racing in the USAC/CRA Series. "Going to run against all of the names you grew up watching and rooting for all these years. You see how fast these guys really are. The nerves are high. But at the green flag, the jitters pretty much go away for me, thankfully. I am nervous leading up and nervous in staging. As soon as the car fires off I am pretty good and when the green drops, there is no time to think about anything but going forward." Roa will be in his DRC with a Shaver 410, at Mohave. Dunkel will be in another DRC with a Shaver 360. "We kind of made that decision at the last minute," Dunkel related. "Honestly, with my caliber of driving and my experience, a 360 is plenty for me right now. 360s have done pretty well there in the past. I think I am going to be okay running it. It is a big power 360, it is no slouch. I think if I start running some CRA stuff at Perris later in the year, we are definitely going to throw the 410 in it. Until we get to that point, we will keep on running the 360." To see the point leader and his new teammate in action on Saturday, the Mohave Valley Raceway is located at 2750 E. Laguna Rd. in Mohave Valley, Arizona (86440). Gates at the popular track which is located just minutes away from the Colorado River and less than a half hour from downtown Laughlin, will open at 5:00 p.m. The first green flag of the night will wave at 7:00. Adult tickets are $25.00. For seniors 60 and over and active military with proper id, it is $20.00. Kids 6-12 get in for just $5.00 and children five and under are free. It is cash only for tickets (no ATMs on site). Concessions, souvenirs, and the beer garden take cash or cards.

  NARC SPRINT CARS INVADE THE STOCKTON DIRT TRACK FOR 2023 SEASON OPENER

  (3/27/23 - Ben Deatherage) Stockton, California ... After a delay of a couple of weeks, Sprint Car fans will get a chance to converge towards the Stockton Dirt Track for the first race of the 2023 NARC 410 Sprint Series presented by Napa Auto Parts. The 3/8-mile San Joaquin County Fairground speed factory will have the series be a part of their coveted Asparagus Cup weekend for the second straight year and third consecutive season the tour has opened at the facility. Roseville's Colby Copeland won the 2022 Asparagus Cup. "I'm very excited for the return of the NARC 410 Sprint Series here for the Asparagus Cup," commented Tony Noceti, promoter of the Stockton Dirt Track. "It should be a great show, and the weather should be just fine." The NARC 410 Sprint Series began visiting the Stockton Dirt Track in 2013. Thirteen drivers have tamed the field in the previous twenty-three visits, with Fresno's Dominic Scelzi having the most success with three wins. Eight drivers have amassed two victories, while only four are one-time winners. "We are extremely grateful that mother nature has finally given us the opportunity to go Sprint Car racing," said NARC 410 Sprint Series General Manager Jim Allen, making reference to the originally scheduled March 18th show in Chico that was rained out. "Teams are anxious to go racing again and the Stockton Dirt Track is an extremely fast venue ready to make that happen." Also joining the program will be the Sprint Car Challenge Tour, Joe Hunt Magnetos Wingless Sprint Series, and the Legends of the Kearney Bowl. Who to Watch Two-time defending NARC 410 Sprint Series champion Dominic Scelzi will hope to win the Asparagus Cup for the first time in his illustrious career. The Fresno phenom was second in the event last year. However, he won in the series debut at the track on August 3rd, 2013, and a triumph on June 13th, 2015, while his most recent trip to victory lane was on August 28th, 2021. Corey Day will be one to watch when the NARC 410 Series rolls into town. The Clovis teenager won the November date in 2021 at SDT and was among his six wins with the tour in the last few seasons. Day has two career series top ten performances in three starts at the "Asparagus Capital of America". Aromas' Justin Sanders already has victories to his credit this offseason. Justin managed to best the fields at Brisbane, Queensland's Archerfield Speedway, and Eastern Creek Speedway in New South Wales over in Australia. He has also won to 360 sprint car races already this year. Two of his thirteen total tour triumphs have come at Stockton, achieved in 2020 and last November. His eight starts at the track had resulted in four top ten finishes, including last year when he was sixth at the Asparagus Cup on April 2nd and won the Tribute To Gary Patterson, which marked his third top five. In addition, Sanders achieved touring victories with NARC at the Stockton Dirt Track and Watsonville's Ocean Speedway last season. Shane Golobic is another driver returning to "California's Sunrise Seaport". The Fremont flyer has two wins, eight top fives, and fourteen top tens in sixteen starts at the facility. Last year Golobic never finished outside the top five when the checkered flag dropped and included a runner-up result on July 23rd. In 2022, Shane claimed his fourteenth career NARC 410 Sprint Series win when he beat the competition at The Dirt Track at Kern County Raceway Park in Bakersfield last October. Third-place in series points last year, Bud Kaeding has won twice at Stockton. Representing Campbell, Kaeding has started twenty-one events at the 3/8-mile oval and has been among the top ten on sixteen occasions, including wins in 2016 and 2019. Also, since 2001, the 2017 series champion has taken the green flag in 255 NARC 410 Sprint Series events, posted 202 top tens and 121 top fives, and amassed twenty wins. He was third in the main event last year on the July 23rd visit. Also in attendance will be last season's rookie of the year Max Mittry of Redding, Oakley teenager Dylan Bloomfield, Billy Aton of Benicia, Sebastopol's Joel Myers Jr., and many more!

  MATT McCARTHY AND LOGAN WILLIAMS PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY RESULTS

  (Ontario, CA, March 24, 2023) The Flowdynamics Racing duo of Matt McCarthy and Logan Williams made its 2023 debut when Perris Auto Speedway hosted the 20th Annual "Sokola Shootout" last Saturday night. The race was round #3 of the USAC/CRA Series campaign and it was the first of the year at the track located closest to the Flowdynamics Ontario, California headquarters. PAS 3-26-22=28m 5w=1085-3.jpg Matt McCarthy #28M and teammate Logan Williams at Perris Auto Speedway. The last time McCarthy, who was the 2017 USAC/CRA "Rookie of the Year," and 2014 "Rookie of the Year" and 2013 PAS Young guns Sprint Car champion Williams, competed on the track was four and a half months ago at the prestigious Oval Nationals. While the team had not been on the track since then, it was not resting on its laurels. Over the winter the crew stripped down the cars and went over them with a fine toothcomb in preparation for 2023. In addition, new parts and supplies were ordered to make sure there were adequate backups heading into the new year. Things started off well enough for the popular drivers in qualifying. McCarthy, who lives in nearby Riverside, California, got his year started by being the eighth-fastest driver of the 25 on hand with a lap of 16.749. Yorba Linda, California's Williams was just a tick slower at 16.812. That was the tenth-quickest time. The Flowdynamics duo was matched up against seven other drivers in the first 10-lap heat race on the famous Riverside County half-mile oval. McCarthy ended up with a fifth-place finish after pressuring the fourth-place driver the entire distance. Williams was not far behind his teammate and finished in seventh. Hopes were high for the team going into the main. McCarthy was coming from the 10th spot and Williams started 13th. Unfortunately, issues knocked Williams out of the race after just 16 laps. That resulted in a 22nd-place finish. McCarthy had to restart at the back after a tangle with another car and ended up 15th. After one outing on the year, McCarthy is 21st in the championship standings and Williams is 25th. Last year they both placed in the top 10. They will be attempting to climb higher in the series standings starting next week at the Mohave Valley Raceway in Arizona. This week the Flowdynamics drivers were scheduled to compete in Central California on Friday and Saturday. Friday was slated to be at the Kings Speedway in Hanford. Saturday's scheduled date began at the Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare. However, persistent, heavy rains forced the Tulare race to be canceled last week. When that race was lost, Kings Speedway moved its show from Friday to Saturday. The hopes were that moving the race one day would give the track more time to dry out. Sadly, Mother Nature threw a whammy at the track with heavy midweek rain forcing the cancellation of that show as well. McCarthy and Williams will now return to action on April 1st at Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway. That event will be followed by races on April 15th at Perris, April 22nd at Tulare, and April 29th at The Dirt Track at the Kern County Raceway Park in Bakersfield. Whenever you get the chance to meet the Flowdynamics drivers in person, be sure to visit them in the pits. They will be glad to sign autographs for you and each will have their fine-looking team shirts available. If you or your company would like to be a part of one of the West Coast's most prominent sprint car teams for the upcoming season, please contact John McCarthy at 909 930-5522 or mailto:john@flodyinc.com McCarthy and Williams would like to thank the following sponsors for making the 2023 season possible.

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

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

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

  (Cypress, CA, March 16, 2023) One week after racing with teammate Tommy Dunkel at the Imperial Valley Raceway, Brody Roa is preparing for one of the longest-running sprint car races in Southern California, the 20th annual "Sokola Shootout" at Perris Auto Speedway. The race is this Saturday night, March 18th, and Roa comes into it as the point leader in the 2023 USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series championship standings. In his first two times driving an Inland Rigging-owned car, Roa scored the wins in the first two races of the 2023 USAC/CRA schedule at Brad Whitfield's Cocopah Speedway in January. He carries a 14-point lead in the championship standings heading into Saturday's race on the famous Riverside County half-mile clay oval that is located 77 miles east of Los Angeles. In addition to winning both of the Cocopah mains, he also captured one of his two heat races on the weekend in his new DRC chassis. At last year's "Sokola Shootout" Roa scored a dominating win in his 10-lap heat race. For the 30-lap main event, he started seventh and finished sixth. Last week's races at Imperial, which were run during the California Mid-Winter Fair, drew a strong field of cars and fine crowds. The successful event was a rebirth of what used to be an annual tradition that carried on for decades when the original CRA raced during the fair. For Roa, it was his first race at The PAS. Dunkel, who lives in Murrieta, appeared on the fairgrounds track and finished seventh there last October. The race was an open comp show. Meaning there were both 360s and 410s competing together. Dunkel was in his brand new DRC and Roa was driving a Maxim. Both were powered by Shaver 360s. "It was the first time out in the new DRC chassis," Dunkel said of his car at Imperial. "Between the new chassis and Brett & Brody Roa helping with setup and driving advice, it helped tremendously. We were able to post some decent times and hold our own out there. I ended up getting into it with a slower car (during Friday practice) and ended up getting upside down. The car did not get hurt too bad. Just some radius rods, a nerf bar, wheel, and tire. I got banged up a little bit and had some sore ribs." The big night at Imperial was Saturday. In front of an enthusiastic crowd, the sprint cars were competing for the winner's $5000.00 paycheck. The first order of business on the night was heat races. The top five finishers from each heat moved straight into the main event. As luck would have it, Dunkel and Roa were matched up in the same heat. Dunkel managed to hold off the sixth-place driver to earn the final transfer spot into the A main. The driver he held off was Roa. While Dunkel was locked into the A main, Roa had to go to the B to earn his ticket for a shot at the winner's loot. He performed flawlessly in the B and won the race. For the main, Roa had to start 16th, on the outside of row #8. That was directly behind new teammate Dunkel who was coming from 14th. Despite the fact that he was competing against some stout 410s, Roa was on a mission. The 2019 USAC Southwest Sprint Car Series champion was weaving his way through the field. With 10 laps remaining, the Garden Grove, California veteran was all the way up to fifth and was pressing the drivers in third and fourth. However, disaster struck when one of the cars ahead of Roa and a lapper got together. Roa could not avoid the tangle and ended up done for the night with a junked racecar. He ended up 17th. After Roa's incident, Dunkel was left to fly the Inland Rigging flag by himself. He had advanced all the way to ninth when trouble set in and he ended up 16th. "I was in the ninth spot with three to go and I had a steering gear failure," Dunkel lamented. "Both of our nights ended kind of poorly. For myself, I was really happy with the weekend. We tore some stuff up but in the end, I am really happy with the DRC. I had a blast out there racing with those guys. They are going to have another show there in October and we'll come back. We will come out swinging and hopefully, we will have some better results to show." Roa returns to action at Perris Auto Speedway on Saturday and will be at Kings Speedway in Hanford next Friday. He will then journey to Arizona's Mohave Valley on April 1st. That night it will be a two-car effort for Inland Rigging as Dunkel will make his USAC/CRA debut. Spectator gates at Perris Auto Speedway will open at 5 PM on Saturday and the first race will be at 7:00. The track is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds at 18700 Lake Perris Drive in the city of Perris (92571). Advance tickets are available 24 hours a day at https://www.tix.com/ticket-sales/pas/7. The track website is www.perrisautospeedway.com and the office phone number is (951) 940-0134. As always, Roa would be more than happy to jump in a race car on his weekends off from the #17R.

  DYER MOTORSPORTS PLANS ON BEING EXTRA BUSY THROUGHOUT 2023

  (Yucca Valley, CA, March 10, 2023) Holding down a full-time job as a California Highway Patrol officer and maintaining a racecar occupies a lot of Jeff Dyer's time. So, what is he doing for 2023? He will continue to patrol the highways and protect citizens from speeders and drunk drivers, but instead of one race car, he will be maintaining three this season. For Dyer, who lives in Yucca Valley, California, extra racecars have been a way of life the last few years. After launching his career with the California Lightning Sprint Car Series over a decade ago, Dyer also started competing in 410 sprint cars on a part-time basis. He added to that load when his son Seth started competing in speedway sprints. Last year the now 16-year-old moved up full-time to join his dad in lightning sprints. Dyer got a break from the extra work on racecars in a sort of bad way last year. He lost two engines in the 410 early in the season and parked that car for the remainder of the campaign. That left him with just the lightning sprints to take care of over the second half of 2022. That has changed again and being a glutton for punishment, he has another engine for the 410 so it is back to three cars. To add to the chaos, father and son will be competing in three different racing series and may on some occasions be racing at two different tracks on the same night. This weekend Jeff was racing the 410 in the Southern California Non Wing Open Comp races at the Imperial Valley Raceway, and the first two rounds of the "CLS/SWLS Best of the West" lightning sprint six race series. Seth, who was joining Jeff in the lightning sprints this week, will focus on the Rookie of the Year award in the POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Series where Jeff will join him when the opportunity arises. They will also compete in as many California Lightning Sprint Car Series races as the schedule allows. "I am not quite sure how I am going to handle it yet," Dyer laughed last Tuesday when asked about maintaining three cars. "The main focus is going to be on Seth this year. I am going to try to step back a little bit. My plan is to race the "King of the West Series" that the Southwest and CLS have going on. I am probably going to run a couple of lightning sprint races at Perris, and maybe some sporadic races at Ventura and Bakersfield. We will run the 410 sprint car mostly at Perris and will travel a little bit with it." "I am hoping that he qualifies a little bit better," Dyer said when discussing what he hoped for Seth. "I also want him to have more consistent finishes and kind of run more upfront. He definitely has the equipment to do it and I think the talent. He just has to be more confident in himself to get it done." Dyer was off to a good start in the 410 in 2022 before he lost the two engines. The season started off rough in 2023 when he damaged one in practice, but he recently purchased an engine from fellow USAC/CRA competitor Cody Williams. That means he will eventually have three engines at his disposal. "We got our engine back from the engine builder and we went out to Perris to shake the car down along with my lightning sprint," Dyer lamented. "The sprint car engine went three laps and then we had a motor problem. It broke a valve; We were kind of screwed but then we had a sponsor step up and we bought an engine from Cody Williams. So, it kind of all worked out. The engine is an All Pro 410." "We had a really good car there last year and we have always been pretty fast there," Dyer said about the Imperial Valley track. "Last year we won with the wing on pretty convincingly. We have a fresh engine in the lightning sprint and it is probably the best engine we have had." "After Saturday, we will be off until April 1st when we take all three cars to Mohave," he continued. "It is the third race for that six-race series they (CLS and SWLS), have going on. It will also be my debut in the USAC/CRA Series for this year. I will not be at Perris on March 18th as it is my 40th birthday and my wife is taking me to the Atlanta NASCAR race." Jeff will race in memory of his grandparents, Glenn and Beverly Sels, throughout the 2023 season. Jeff would like to thank the following for making the 2023 racing campaign possible in the #4 Lightning Sprint Car. Dependable Machine Inc., Haircuts By Susie, Jobu Racing, LBA Investigations, and Dyer Motorsports. For the USAC/CRA #39 sprint car, Straight Time Stirrups, Dependable Machines Inc., Hair Cuts By Susie, Jobu Racing, Justice Brothers, and Specialty Fasteners helped put him on the track.

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

  (Cypress, CA, March 9, 2023) Tommy Dunkel and Brody Roa will make their first joint team appearance this Friday and Saturday, March 10th and 11th, in the Southern California Open Class Non-Wing Sprint Cars at the Imperial Valley Raceway. The race will be the second event for each of the drivers in 2022. Dunkel previously competed in January's Chili Bowl Midget Nationals in Tulsa, Oklahoma and Roa swept the weekend winning both USAC/CRA main events at the Cocopah Speedway at the end of the same month. thumbnail (1).jpg The Inland Rigging cars are ready for action at Imperial. Dunkel photo. Neither of the two team drivers is experienced at the Imperial track which is located less than 30 minutes north of the USA/Mexico border. Dunkel has appeared there one time and placed seventh last October. For Roa, the current point leader in the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series, it will be his first race at the longtime racing facility. While it will be his initial outing at the track, the Garden Grove, California-based driver enters the event as one of the pre-race favorites. While it will only be his second appearance at Imperial, Dunkel realizes the value of having Roa, and his longtime crew as part of the Inland Rigging team. "It was pretty racy," Dunkel said when talking about the track that is located on the Imperial Valley Fairgrounds. "It kind of had some dark spots and no walls. So, it is one of those scary tracks but you go back for more. I am hoping they fix the dark spots. Other than that, we really enjoyed it. We went third quick the last time and locked ourselves in the dash. It is going to be huge really with my limited experience. Really nice equipment has been getting me by, but now we have a lot of experience on the team, too. I think it is going to be a game changer for my driving and a huge help for us." "That was actually one of the huge deciding factors in teaming up with Brody," Dunkel continued when talking about the new setup. "Not only are we coming to the table with what it takes to go racing financially, but they have the rest of the package. Just looking at their experience, it was really a no-brainer to hook up with them. The experience that Brett has (Brody's father Brett) and Zac (past USAC/CRA Crew Chief of the Year Zac Bozanich) and Brody as a driver as well." This week's event comes after two straight cancelations for the Inland Rigging team. Two weeks ago both of the drivers were scheduled to compete in the USAC/CRA West Coast Series event at the Dirt Track at the Kern County Raceway. However, Mother Nature had other ideas and rained the event out. Last weekend Roa was slated to drive in the two-night USAC/CRA program at the Central Arizona Raceway. Mother Nature remained staunch again and rained out that event, too. Fortunately, the heavy rains that are slated for California this Friday and Saturday are far north of Imperial. For Roa, the weekend is kind of an unknown as he has never raced at Imperial and does not really think he can compare it to a track he has been to before. "You know, I was talking to Justin Grau and he kind of came up with the same thing," Roa said via phone on Thursday. "Kind of from the videos I have seen, I can't compare it to anything. Maybe Ventura because of how small it is. I don't know." "You don't," Roa continued with a laugh when asked how he sets the car up for a situation like that. "The car is ready. I went out to Tom and Christy's (Tom Dunkel and his wife, Christy) Saturday. Let the girls play some and worked on the cars. Basically got them ready other than set up and gear. So I have to put a gear in it when I get there and block it. I will do the set up when I see the track. I could do it now, but would probably change my mind when I see it. So, might as well do it then." Dunkel will be driving one of the team's new DRCs while Roa will be in a Maxim. Both will be powered by 360s in the open class show. Roa is not too worried about running the smaller engine. "I saw the entry list and was really surprised and excited for them (the promoters) to get those good cars there," Roa said. "I may not be so much (excited) with a 360 now but I don't know. I think with a 360 we can get it done. We have beat 410s with a 360 before. Tom and Christy, they have nice stuff. It is a little tiny track and if it slicks off, I am not worried about the 360 versus 410 thing there." Roa, Dunkel, and the other Open comp sprint car drivers on hand will practice and have a 25-lap main event on Friday night. On Saturday they will contest heat races, a B main if necessary, and the $5,000.00 to win 30-lap main event. This weekend's racing, which will be held in conjunction with the California Mid-Winter Fair, will begin at 6:00 p.m. each night. Fair gates will open at 5:00 p.m. on Friday and noon on Saturday. Kids 18 and under get into the races for free with their ticket to the fair. Admission for those 19 and over will require an extra ticket. The fairgrounds is located at 200 East 2nd Street in Imperial, California. Roa will be very busy with USAC/CRA races after this weekend's Imperial show. On Saturday, March 18th, he will be at Perris Auto Speedway for the Sokola Shootout. He will head to Central California for a race at Peter Murphy's King's Speedway in Hanford on the 24th and the famous Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare on the 25th. The 2019 USAC/Southwest champion will then take on "Arizona's Baddest Bullring," the Mohave Valley Raceway, on April 1st. Due to a heavy workload, Dunkel is not sure of the exact date of his next race after this weekend. As always, Roa would be more than happy to jump in a race car on his weekends off from the #17R. His entire schedule is printed below. If anybody wishes to contact him about open dates, they can do so at 714-932-7994 or mailto:brodyroa91@gmail.com The team wants to thank the following sponsors for making the 2023 season possible.

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

  (Lakeside, CA, March 1, 2023) When rookie of the year contender Grant Sexton takes to the 3/8 of a mile Central Arizona Raceway for rounds three and four of the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series this Friday and Saturday, March 3rd and 4th, he will have more than 9,000 reasons to go fast. Those reasons will come from within a brand spanking new 900+ horsepower Shaver Racing engine. thumbnail.jpg Grant Sexton's Triple X Chassis #22 is now powered by a Shaver Racing Engine. SGR photo. At the season-opening race at the Cocopah Speedway on January 27th, Sexton was poised and ready for the 30-lap main event. However, when his car bumped off for the main, he realized that it was not firing on all cylinders. He gave the car a little more throttle and the problem just got worse. So, he pulled off the track. "As soon as the car fired off it wasn't firing on all cylinders or something," he stated at the time. "It just wasn't right. I knew it from the get-go. Once I got on the gas it got way worse so I pulled it in (before the race started). The motor ended up getting blown up." Tired of fooling around, Sexton Gatlin Racing decided it was time for a change. After all, the team had already put the 18-year-old in a brand-new Triple X chassis for Cocopah. It was time to match that chassis with a state-of-the-art brand new engine. They went to the top engine builder in dirt track racing, Shaver Racing Engines in Torrance, California, and bought a new bullet. The new engine will match up well with the new chassis and should give the Lakeside, California-based teen a shot of confidence when racing in the most competitive 410 sprint car series west of the Mississippi. The talent is there, and it is now matched with top-flight equipment. The package should give Sexton a better opportunity to show fans what he can do, just like he did in his short time in lightning sprints. Two years ago Sexton dominated the POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series winning more mains than any other driver and the series championship. The year before that when he was just 15, he dazzled the lightning sprint car world by winning the opening night main event against the top drivers in the USA and Canada in the POWRi Lightning National Championship in Missouri. Twenty-four hours later at the finale of the event, he led the race before finishing second. Sexton Gatlin Racing is going to have a busy opening month of the season. After this week in Arizona, Grant will be racing the 410 at the open competition event at the Imperial Valley Raceway on the 10th and 11th. At the same show, POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series champion Brent Sexton, Grant's father, will open defense of his title. He will be joined by his oldest son Dalton, San Diego's A.J. Bender, and possibly another young star. Grant will be in action on March 18th at Perris Auto Speedway's Sokola Shootout and will follow the USAC/CRA Series tour to Central California for races at Peter Murphy's Keller Auto Speedway on March 24th and Tulare's Thunderbowl Raceway on the 25th. Fans can see the Rookie of the Year contender in person at the Central Arizona Raceway this Friday and Saturday when gates open at 4:00 p.m. Racing will commence at 6:00. The track is located on the Pinal County Fairgrounds at 512 S Eleven Mile Corner Rd, Casa Grande, AZ (85194). The office phone is (602) 292-7607. For those who cannot make it to the track, both nights will be streamed live via pay-per-view on Speed Sport TV at the following link https://speedsport.tv/. SGR has been busy all winter getting ready for another successful year in 2023. If you or your company is interested in becoming a partner with this front-running team, please call (619) 454-6945 or E-mail mailto:sextonfire@cox.net or mailto:sextonfire@gmail.com.

  BRODY ROA ROLLS INTO CENTRAL ARIZONA RACEWAY THIS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY

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

  NAPA AUTO PARTS TEAMS UP WITH NARC SPRINT CARS AS REGIONAL SPONSOR

  (2/27/23) Sacramento, CA ... The Northern Auto Racing Club (NARC) sprint cars announced today that they reached a sponsorship agreement with NAPA Auto Parts for select events on the 2023 schedule. The NARC 410 Sprint Car Series will be presented by NAPA Auto Parts at 10-select Central California racing events this season. This includes shows at Keller Auto Speedway in Hanford (April 8, May 12-13, and September 30th), the Stockton Dirt Track (April 1, August 26, and November 4), Tulare Thunderbowl Raceway (April 14-15), and the Dirt Track at Kern County Raceway Park (October 28th). "Thank you for the opportunity to partner up with the NARC Racing Series," said Brian Schaffer, General Manager of NAPA Sales & Store Operations. "We look forward to this new partnership and an exciting race series." The sponsorship is centered around fan-engagement at not only the track level but at the store level. NARC sprint car teams will be selected to showcase their hauler and car at designated NAPA locations throughout the season early on race day. The plan is to engage NAPA associates and fans to drive race day attendance at NARC events. The National Automotive Parts Association (NAPA), also known as NAPA Auto Parts, was founded in 1925. It is an American retailers' cooperative, distributing automotive replacement parts, accessories and service items throughout North America. Their corporate headquarters is in Atlanta, Georgia. For more information, and to place orders, go to NAPAonline.com The NARC Sprint Car Racing Series Mini-Gold Cup season opener is on March 18th at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico.
