  Turkey Night Grand Prix Next for Brent and Grant Sexton

  Lakeside, CA — November 5, 2025 — Southern California sprint car veterans Brent and Grant Sexton will return to action on Thanksgiving weekend for one of the sport's crown jewels—the Turkey Night Grand Prix at Jim Naylor's Ventura Raceway. The historic holiday classic will mark the father-and-son duo's first sprint car outing since tackling the Western World Championships at Central Arizona Raceway in late October. The debut trip to the Arizona oval for Sexton Gatlin Racing was anything but easy. Grant battled a stubborn fuel system that refused to cooperate, leaving patriarch Brent to carry the team's banner. A three-time California Lightning Sprint Car Series champion, Brent's night was cut short in his heat race by a faulty mag box on Friday, sidelining the bright #44 early. Returning Saturday, determined to turn things around, Brent's luck refused to change. A broken rear brake mount in his qualifier left him with only front brakes for the C-Main, but the veteran's steady hands kept him out of trouble long enough to transfer into the B-Main. Unfortunately, a sheared U-joint ended the night and the team's Arizona adventure prematurely. While the weekend proved frustrating for the Sextons, Sexton Gatlin Racing's rising rookie, Braydin Collie, gave the team something to smile about at the Ventura Raceway. The talented teen turned in the eighth-fastest qualifying time, won his heat race, and finished seventh in the 25-lap main event. Heading into the California Lightning Sprint Car Series finale at Bakersfield on November 25th, the El Cajon racer sits sixth in Motor City Buick/GMC championship points—just one point out of fifth—and second in Rookie of the Year standings. Though it is unlikely without a lot of good fortune, Collie remains mathematically alive in the Rookie of the Year chase. Before that finale in Bakersfield, he'll trade dirt for desert when he competes in Mexico's legendary Baja 1000 in a trophy truck next week.
