  THE SEXTON GATLIN TRAIN IS HEADED TO BARONA ON SATURDAY

  (Lakeside, CA, June 23, 2022) Much to the chagrin of the competition, the Sexton Gatlin Racing train, which is comprised of Brent Sexton and his teenage sons Dalton and Grant, will be rolling into the Barona Speedway for Saturday's Lucas Oil POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series race. Thus far, SGR drivers have steamrolled the competition and won six of the seven lightning sprint races they have entered. Heading into this week's race, Brent is the new point leader in the SWLS. The veteran finished second at the last series race that was also at Barona on June 11th. The family patriarch's strong run, combined with Dalton dropping out of the main early in the race, sees him carry a 20-point lead into Saturday's event. The elder Sexton is no stranger to leading points and winning championships as he has two California Lightning Sprint Car Series Championship trophies resting on his mantelpiece. His first title came while the Clinton administration was in the White House in 1999, and the second came just before Barack Obama took up residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. While Brent finished second in the main event two weeks ago, he was no match for Grant who made it look easy at the front of the pack. The teen was virtually unchallenged except for a lapped car who decided to race him near the midway point of the race. Once he broke free of the lapper, he proceeded to run away from the pack and win by a full straightaway. It was his fourth win of the 2022 season and those victories have been spread between three different sanctions. The SWLS, California Lightning Sprint Cars, and the VRA Sprint Cars. In taking the point lead, Brent became only the second driver to sit on top of the heap in 2022. Dalton won the opening main at El Centro on March 5th along with another race at Barona on May 14th. Until the broken heim knocked him out of the last race, he had led the points for over three months. The good news is that he is only 20-points out of first coming into Saturday's race at the track that is closest to SGR headquarters. Spectator gates at Barona will open at 3:00 p.m. and the first green flag will start the action at 6:00. Adult tickets are $25.00. Kids 7-17 are $10.00 and children 6 and under are free. Family packs of two adults and two kids are available for $50.00. Seniors, military, and EMTs get in for $10.00. The track is located at 1754 Wildcat Road in Lakeside (92040). The track website is https://baronaspeedway.com/ and the office phone number is (619) 994-6560. Sexton/Gatlin Racing would like to thank the following companies for making the 2022 season possible. Sexton Fire Protection, BK Wings, Johnny Motorhead, Troy Dirt, Victory Graphix, Swift Powdercoat, Maxima Oil, and an extra special thanks to Scotty and Jimmy Keys.

  FLOWDYNAMICS McCARTHY & WILLIAMS TO RACE IN JONES/SCHEETZ MEMORIAL

  (Ontario, CA, June 24, 2022) Flowdynamics Sprint car drivers Logan Williams and Matt McCarthy will both be back in action this Saturday night in the USAC/CRA Bubby Jones/Ray Scheetz Memorial at Perris Auto Speedway. It will be the fourth appearance for each at their local track in 2022. The team comes into Saturday's race with Williams fifth in the standings, only 21-points out of fourth. McCarthy enters the night not far behind his teammate in ninth. Through the first three races at the Riverside County half-mile clay oval in 2022, McCarthy has a seventh and a 15th place finish. He did not start the April 30th main event due to an annoying fuel line problem. In his three appearances at The PAS this year, Williams best finish has been a sixth. In his other two outings, he has finished 11th. PAS 5-28-22=28m=3956-3.jpg Matt McCarthy at Perris Auto Speedway on May 28th. Doug Allen photo. After Saturday's race, Williams, who calls Yorba Linda, California home, and Riverside, California's McCarthy, get next week's holiday weekend off. They will return to action on July 8th and 9th when they journey to Central California to race at Keller Auto Speedway in Hanford on Friday and Stone Chevrolet, Buick, GMC Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare on Saturday. PAS 4-30-22=5w=2344-3.jpg Logan Williams qualifying at The PAS on May 28. Doug Allen photo. The USAC/CRA schedule initially had a six-week break between the two July races in the Central Valley and the August 20th date at Perris. That break has been shortened to four weeks with the announcement that the Santa Maria Raceway was going to reopen with a USAC/CRA show on August 6th. The track, which has hosted regular visits from the series since its inception in 2004, has been shuttered since last July. When the team last appeared at Santa Maria on July 3rd, 2021, Williams finished eighth in the main event with McCarthy right behind him in ninth. Saturday's race at Perris salutes National Sprint Car Hall of Famer Bubby Jones and his long-time crew chief, Ray Scheetz. Jones's son Tony, a past USAC/CRA champion and now the series race director, has a tie to the Flowdynamics operation. When McCarthy was a rookie, Jones served as a driver coach and team advisor. Spectator gates for the Bubby Jones/Ray Scheetz Memorial will open at 5:00 p.m. with racing at 7:00. Adult tickets are $30.00. For seniors 65 and over it is $25.00. Kids 6-12 are $5.00 and children five and under are free. The fairgrounds charges $10.00 for parking. There will be plenty of tickets for everyone at the ticket window on Saturday, this event will not sell out. For those who wish to purchase tickets in advance, they are available 24 hours a day online at https://www.tix.com/ticket-sales/pas/7 or by phone at 1-800-595-4849. Perris Auto Speedway is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds at 18700 Lake Perris Drive in The City of Perris (92571). Take the 215 Freeway, exit at the Ramona Expressway, and go three miles east to the Fairgrounds. McCarthy and Williams would like to thank the following sponsors for making the 2021 season possible. Flowdynamics Inc., JFK Design Build, Cal Therm Mechanical Insulators, CRC Component Repair Co., Encore Gas and Supply, Drink-Pac, and Benic Enterprises.

  ROA HOPES TO GO ONE SPOT BETTER AT PERRIS - NEW SHIRTS ARE IN

  (Cypress, CA, June 23, 2022) Fresh off a second-place finish two weeks ago at the Ventura Raceway, veteran sprint car driver Brody Roa hopes to take one step higher on the podium when the USAC/CRA Sprint car series returns to Perris Auto Speedway Saturday night for the inaugural Bubby Jones/Ray Scheetz Memorial. It will be Roa's last scheduled Southern California appearance before heading to the Midwest for Indiana Sprint week in late July. PAS 4-30-22=91r=2289-3.jpg Brody Roa at Perris Auto Speedway on April 28th. Photo courtesy of Doug Allen. As well as racing, Roa will be debuting his new shirts on Saturday as seen in the photos below. He will have them for sale in the pits after the final race. For those who cannot make it, you can order shirts and a host of other Brody Roa items online at the following link https://www.brodyroa.com/shop/. 284547483_4932496253470857_4133713825537182415_n.jpg284612631_4932496186804197_4985662261410284674_n.jpg Roa has been at his strongest point of the season over the last two races. On May 28th at Perris, he was the third-fastest qualifier, won his third USAC/CRA heat race of the year, and got his first series podium finish when he placed third. Two weeks later in Ventura, he was the eighth-fastest qualifier, came home second in his heat, and then finished second in the 30-lap main event. After the main event at Ventura, Roa was lauded by many for how he conducted himself during the main event. Despite having what appeared to be the better car, he ran in second the entire distance. Early on he made a couple of tries on the outside, but there was nothing there. The track was a single lane on the bottom. Roa bided his time and patiently waited for the leader to slip up and slide off the pole. That never happened. Instead of driving thru the leader and risking wrecking the leader's car and his own, Roa played it safe, came home in second, and praised the winner for the fine job he did. Likewise, the winner praised Roa for his clean driving. Roa has competed in six of the first 11 USAC/CRA races in 2022. He has a series-best main event finishing average of 4.33. That is nearly ¾ of a position better than the driver with the second-best average. Great news for Roa, the other series drivers, and fans is the announcement that the Santa Maria Raceway is set to reopen on August 6th. The track that closed nearly a year ago, has seen Roa do his best work in recent seasons. Dating back to July 1st, 2017, the Garden Grove, California driver has raced 410 sprint cars seven times on the banked, 1/3 mile Santa Barbara County clay oval. He won three of those seven races, placed second two times, and was fourth once. The only time he finished out of the top four was when he placed ninth on October 5th, 2019. His finishing average in those seven races is a phenomenal 2.85. In 2022, Roa will race USAC/CRA, USAC National, and other select events, in his #91R BR Performance/HD Industries Eagle. He will also drive the #8M for May Motorsports in select USAC West Coast events. The 2019 USAC Southwest and 2017 USAC West Coast champion is always open to discussing other driving opportunities. Roa and the team want to thank the following sponsors for making the 2022 season possible. HD Industries, Burris Racing, Sander Engineering, Inland Rigging, Caltrol, "Biker" Bruce Fischer, Competition Suspension, ALR Virtual Services, K-1 Race Gear, Molecule, Rod End Supply, Driven Racing Oil, Baldwin Filters, and NGK Spark Plugs. In addition, the veteran driver offers thanks to RDM Mechanics, Fastenal, Coopers Propane, Ten West Towing, Ten West Environmental, TJM Distribution, and Westco International for sponsoring the #8M he will pilot for Jayson May on 10 occasions in 2022. If you or your company would like to jump on board and receive recognition as a team partner throughout the 2022 racing season, please give the two-time USAC champion racer a phone call or drop him a note at the contact information on the top of this release.

  EDDIE TAFOYA JR. ROLLS INTO PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY SATURDAY

  (Chino, CA, June 22, 2022) Fresh off his first-ever Woodland's Auto Display Fast Time Award and a fifth-place finish in the USAC/CRA main event at the Ventura Raceway two weeks ago, Eddie Tafoya Jr. returns to action this Saturday night, June 25th, in the Bubby Jones/Ray Scheetz Memorial at Perris Auto Speedway. The race will be the 4th of the year for the Chino Hills, California resident at the track that is located closest to his home. 287664550_5446555092062594_6681139457352278262_n.jpg Eddie Tafoya Jr. enters Saturday's race at Perris fourth in USAC/CRA points. Tafoya photo. Tafoya enters Saturday's race fourth in points with eight top 10 finishes in the first 11 USAC/CRA events in 2022. Among those top 10s are four top fives, but none of them have come at the track that is only 36 miles from his front door. His best two finishes on the famous Riverside County half-mile clay oval this year have been a pair of eighths. He recorded those on April 30th at the Sokola Shootout and the Salute To Indy on May 28th. He hopes to better those results on Saturday. His other 2022 outing at The PAS came on March 26th when he violently flipped in turn one after being hit by another driver. Tafoya climbed out of his car uninjured but the #51T was destroyed. Tafoya's fifth place at Ventura came on a tough track that was one lane on the bottom in the main event. He was never far from the top four cars, but passing was at a premium. Most drivers who attempted to pass on the outside quickly found out that they needed to get back in line or risk losing positions. Aware of that, "Mr. Smooth" stayed close to the pole and earned that fifth-place finish. The great news for Tafoya and racers around California is the fact that after being shut down for nearly a year, the Santa Maria Raceway is going to reopen on August 6th. The track, which opened in 1964, has been a regular stop for the USAC/CRA Series since its inception in 2004. Last year the series appeared there on July 3rd and Tafoya placed sixth in the main event. For fans who would like to see Tafoya in person at Saturday's Bubby Jones/Ray Scheetz Memorial, spectator gates will open at 5:00 p.m. with racing starting at 7:00. Adult tickets are $30.00. Seniors 65 and over get in for $25.00. Kids 6-12 are $5.00 and children 5 and under are free. The fairgrounds charges $10.00 for parking. Perris Auto Speedway is located on the freeway close Lake Perris Fairgrounds at 18700 Lake Perris Drive in The City of Perris (92571). Take the 215 Freeway, exit at the Ramona Expressway, and go three miles east to the fairgrounds. The track website is http://www.perrisautospeedway.com/. The office phone number is (951) 940-0134. Tafoya and the #51T team would like to thank Specialty Fasteners, DRC Chassis, Ryder Racing Engines, Simpson Safety Products, Bell, Benic Enterprises, BR Motorsports, PSC Powder Coating, Magik Graphics, Gasper Transportation, Owen's Insurance Services, and Weld Wheels for making the 2022 season possible. If you or your company would like to be a part of the Specialty Fastener team's 2022 season effort, please contact Eddie Tafoya Jr. via phone at (909) 393-3999 or by e-mail at teamtafoya@aol.com. He will be happy to talk to you and lay out the team's 2022 plans. Fans can follow Tafoya on Instagram @eddietafoya51.

  ROOKIE WILL BROWNE DOING DOUBLE DUTY SATURDAY AT VENTURA

  (Glendora, California, June 22, 2022) When lightning sprint car rookie Will Browne arrives at Jim Naylor's Ventura Raceway this Saturday night, he will be prepared to be a very busy driver. In addition to driving his familiar "Win Now Racing" #8 in the California Lightning Sprint Car Series, the recent Glendora High School graduate will also be debuting in the WMR Midget Series in the Paul Sanders owned #22. 277676700_463288992258687_7833224399583260972_n.jpg Will Browne after a fourth-place finish at Merced on April 2nd. Browne, 18, who lives in Glendora, California, jumped into the lightning sprint car racing scene this year after winning the pro 500 speedway sprint championship last season at Wheel2Wheel Raceway in Victorville. Thus far, he has looked more like a seasoned veteran rather than a rookie in his new endeavor. The teen has finished in the top 10 in each of his eight main event starts. His only finish out of the top six was a ninth in the CLS season opener on March 25th at the Bakersfield Speedway. Four of his finishes have been in the top five including fourth-place results at the Merced Speedway on April 2nd and Bakersfield on the 14th of May. He has a fine 5.75 main event finishing percentage through his first eight lightning sprint races. Browne's initial starts in a lightning car came in the POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series at the Imperial Valley Raceway on March 5th and 6th. The raw rookie gave a great account of himself with a sixth-place finish on opening night. The next afternoon, under difficult daytime track conditions, he bettered his previous night's performance when he crossed under the checkered flag in fifth. Since that time, all of Browne's racing has been with the 28-year-old California Lightning Sprint Car Series. In his last three races with the CLS he has a fourth, fifth and sixth. His fine performances have him heading into Ventura fifth in the CLS championship standings and in the lead for the Rookie Of The Year award. The next highest newcomer is eighth in the standings and 218 points behind Browne. While this is Browne's inaugural season in lightning sprints, he is not new to racing. In 2017, he and his father and crew chief, Todd Browne, started racing dirt karts at Wheel2Wheel Raceway in Victorville. The next year he graduated to the restrictor sprint class and was named Rookie Of The Year. He hit the pavement and raced spec trucks at the Irwindale Speedway in 2020 in the Lucas Oil Race Truck Series. He adapted quickly to the pavement, finished second in points, and was named Rookie Of The Year. Last season he returned to the dirt and won the previously mentioned pro 500 speedway sprint championship at Wheel2Wheel last year. While this piece was being put together, word came that Browne may only be racing in the WMR Midget portion of Saturday's program as there was a bearing going bad in the engine of his lightning sprint. Hopes are to get his car fixed or to find another ride for the CLS portion of the program. If you would like to see the talented newcomer in action 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 $18.00. For seniors 60 and over, military with ID, and students with an ID it is $15.00. Children 12 and under are admitted free when accompanied by an adult. The Ventura Raceway is located on the Ventura County Fairgrounds at 10 W. Harbor Boulevard (93001). The track website is http://venturaraceway.com/ and the office phone number is (805) 648-RACE. Be sure to visit Browne's website at https://willbrowneracing.com/. It is filled with information on him and has some interesting videos. Will Browne and his team would like to thank the following marketing partners for being a part of his rookie season in lightning sprint cars. Pacific Panel Products, Tucker Tire, and Ann Blanco Homes. If you would like to join the friendly newcomer in his rookie campaign, drop an email or give him a call at the following: willbrowne88@gmail.com or (626) 261-5310.

  JEFF DYER AND SON SETH COMPETE IN THE SAME RACE FOR THE FIRST TIME

  (Yucca Valley, CA, June 19, 2022) In what was a tremendous thrill for both, veteran racer Jeff Dyer and his son Seth raced together for the first time on June 11th when the California Lightning Sprint Car Series visited the Bakersfield Speedway. They are going to do it again this Saturday, June 25th, when the CLS heads to Jim Naylor's Ventura Raceway. 287105021_8009580089059686_5856648418451193378_n (1).jpg Jeff Dyer second from right and his son Seth is on the right.

To start things off on the memory-making night, the Dyer's bookended the qualifying with Jeff turning in the fastest time of the night at 13.326 on "The West's Fastest 1/3 Mile High Banked Clay Oval." Seth's first effort produced a 14.850. Not long thereafter Jeff came across the line second in the first heat race. In his first lightning sprint race, Seth, who has raced Speedway Sprints at Wheel2Wheel Raceway in Victorville, placed sixth in heat #2. For the 25-lap main event, proud dad Jeff was starting on the outside of the third row and Seth was outside row six in 12th. Jeff had worked his way up to fifth when a red flag came out on lap six. Unfortunately, Seth and another driver tangled and the other car flipped onto its side. Neither was injured but the same could not be said for their cars. They were both damaged and done for the night. On the first lap when the race resumed, Dyer turned in the move of the night. In turn four, he swept wide around the fourth-place driver and then darted to the inside to pass the third-place car at the start/finish line much to the delight of the appreciative crowd. Not to be deterred by Dyer's thrilling move, the two cars he passed pulled alongside him coming off turn four one lap later. The speeding trio flew down the front straight and into turn one, three abreast. Dyer, who was on the top side, fended his pursuers off and continued on in third. Dyer held the third position until he was passed late in the race. He took the checkers in fourth. That gave him an amazing seven top four (four second-place finishes, one-third, and two fourths) finishes in seven CLS starts this year To put the icing on the cake, Saturday's performance catapulted Dyer into the point lead in the CLS championship standings. "It was like a dream come true," the proud dad told Dave Stall on last Sunday's Racer Radio Show. "It was pretty nerve-wracking. I guess it kind of hit me on our silent drive there. I really don't care if I get hurt but throwing your kid out there is a bit different." "We had separate hot lap sessions which was kind of good and we were in separate heat races," Dyer continued. "The main event was kind of different because I was starting up front and he was starting in the back. I knew we would probably catch him in 10 laps to lap him but he did not get to make it that far. But I was definitely looking ahead to make sure he was OK." This Saturday night, June 25th, the Yucca Valley, California father and son racing duo will be back in action at the Ventura Raceway. Jeff will be driving his familiar #4. Seth will be shoeing the same Pat Kelley-owned car he drove at Bakersfield. Jeff comes into the event with a 15-point lead in the championship standings. However, he cannot rest on his laurels as only 60 points separate first to fourth.

Seniors 60 and over, military with id, and students with id get in for $15.00. Children 12 and under are free when accompanied by a paid adult.

  FLOWDYNAMICS DRIVERS FINISH 10TH AND 16TH AT THE VENTURA RACEWAY

  (Ontario, CA, June 17, 2022) The Flowdynamics racing team made the journey to the Ventura Raceway last Saturday night for round #11 of the 2022 USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series. The team entered the night with Logan Williams fifth in the championship standings and Matt McCarthy ninth. When they began the journey home after the race, they were in the same spots. PAS 3-26-22=28m 5w=1085-3.jpg Flowdynamics drivers Matt McCarthy in the #28M and Logan Williams in the #5W. Doug Allen Photo. Twenty-four cars showed up for the race at the picturesque track that is located at the beach at Ventura. The first order of business on the night was qualifying and McCarthy fired off another good one when he timed in fifth fastest with a lap of 13.032. Williams, who was coming off a sixth-place finish at Perris two weeks earlier in the Salute To Indy, was 14th quickest at 13.566. The two Flowdynamics teammates were matched up in the second heat race of the night. Williams finished fourth in the 10-lapper and McCarthy was right behind him in fifth. As the 24 cars came onto the track for the 30-lap main event, the fog began to roll in at the same time. McCarthy, who lives in Riverside CA, had the best starting spot of the two team drivers as he was coming from the 8th position. Yorba Linda, California's Williams was three rows behind his teammate in 14th. When the race started it became evident that passing was going to be at a premium. There was one line at the bottom and straying from that made drivers extremely vulnerable to getting passed from behind. McCarthy advanced his rank one spot to seventh early in the race, but he slid to a stop a few laps later after being part of a three-car chain reaction skirmish. He had to restart at the back in the 23rd position. While the track was hard to pass on, Williams managed to advance his position four spots to come home 10th. After his sojourn to the back and the 23rd spot, McCarthy went forward seven spots to finish 16th. Flowdynamics Racing gets this weekend off before returning to Perris Auto Speedway for the inaugural Bubby Jones/Ray Scheetz Memorial on June 25th. That race will be followed by a trip to the Central Valley for races July 8th and 9th at Keller Auto Speedway in Hanford and the Stone Chevrolet GMC Buick Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare. McCarthy and Williams would like to thank the following sponsors for making the 2021 season possible. Flowdynamics Inc., JFK Design Build, Cal Therm Mechanical Insulators, CRC Component Repair Co., Encore Gas and Supply, Drink-Pac, and Benic Enterprises.

  TAFOYA GETS FIRST FAST QUALIFYING TIME AND FINISHES 5TH IN VENTURA MAIN

  (Chino, CA, June 17, 2022) Eddie Tafoya Jr. continued his progression in the tough 410 sprint car ranks when he set the fastest time in qualifying at the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series race at Jim Naylor's Ventura Raceway last Saturday night. It was the first fast qualifying time in his career and he followed it up with a fifth-place finish in the main event. 286755406_5441436535907783_4279696969101574400_n.jpg Eddie Tafoya Jr. receiving the Woodland Auto Display Fast Time Award. USAC/CRA photo. The night started out on the right foot for Tafoya, the 2019 USAC/CRA and USAC Southwest Series "Rookie of the Year," when he stopped the qualifying clocks in a time of 12.735. That was the fastest time of the 24 cars on hand and thus earned him his first-ever Woodland Auto Display Fast Time Award. Quick time meant that Tafoya would start either sixth or seventh in the main event. If he finished in the top four in his heat, he would start sixth. If he placed fifth or worse, he would start seventh. Being fast qualifier also meant that the Chino Hills, California racer would start sixth in the first heat. Tafoya did not get a good start in the 10-lapper and ended up finishing fifth, putting him on the inside of the fourth row for the main. If there was ever a night you would want to start seventh instead of sixth, this may have been it. The track was one lane around the bottom and those who ventured to the outside were doing so with a huge risk of being freight trained until they could get back in line. Tafoya quickly realized the situation and kept it to the bottom. It paid off in almost immediate dividends as he raced by two cars who tried to go to the wide line before the third lap was completed. That put him into the fifth-place spot. Staying close to the first four cars, "Mr. Smooth" had a couple of attempts to advance his position when the fourth-place driver ventured off the inside line, but he would bring it back down before Tafoya could take full advantage. In the end, with the track shrouded in fog, Tafoya finished with a smart, hard-earned fifth-place finish. He came into the night fourth in the series standings, but he was only one point ahead of the fifth-place driver. By the time he left with his team at the end of the races, he increased that advantage to 71-points. In addition, he closed to within 54-points of the third-place driver and 62-points of the driver in second. Through the first 11 races of the 2022 season, Tafoya has finished in the top 10 eight times. He has four top-five finishes and two top threes. His season-best was a second-place result at Arizona's Cocopah Speedway on January 29th. After getting this weekend off, Tafoya will return to the sprint car wars when Perris Auto Speedway presents the inaugural Bubby Jones/Ray Scheetz Memorial on June 25th. That will be followed by back-to-back nights of racing in Central California at the Keller Auto Speedway in Hanford on July 8th and the Stone Chevrolet Buick GMC Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare on July 9th. Tafoya and the #51T team would like to thank Specialty Fasteners, DRC Chassis, Ryder Racing Engines, Simpson Safety Products, Bell, Benic Enterprises, BR Motorsports, PSC Powder Coating, Magik Graphics, Gasper Transportation, Owen's Insurance Services, and Weld Wheels for making the 2022 season possible. If you or your company would like to be a part of the Specialty Fastener team's 2022 season effort, please contact Eddie Tafoya Jr. via phone at (909) 393-3999 or by e-mail at teamtafoya@aol.com. He will be happy to talk to you and lay out the team's 2022 plans. Fans can follow Tafoya on Instagram @eddietafoya51.

  BACK FROM THE PROM, GRANT SEXTON WINS BARONA SWLS MAIN EVENT

  (Lakeside, CA, June 17, 2022) After attending the prom and graduating from high school one week earlier, Grant Sexton returned to the racetrack last Saturday and scored a convincing win in the Lucas Oil POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car main event at the Barona Speedway. The victory was the defending series champion's second in SWLS competition in 2022. 287470591_572270080980763_1194735266046404442_n.jpg Grant Sexton won his second SWLS main of 2022 at Barona. Kim Arringdale-Unipan photo. The win gave Sexton Gatlin Racing drivers six wins in seven Lightning Sprint Car starts in 2022. Grant leads the way with three wins (two SWLS and one CLS). His older brother Dalton has two SWLS wins and came into Saturday as the SWLS point leader. The patriarch of the family, Brent, has one SWLS win and started the night second in the championship chase. Dalton was the first of the SGR trio to make an appearance on the track when he contested the first eight-lap heat of the night. The two-time SWLS 2022 winner started and finished the race in fifth. Moments later Grant was off the pole in heat race two. Brent was coming from fourth in the same race. Grant made it look easy as he scored a runaway victory. Brent passed two cars advancing to second, but he was far behind his youngest son at the checkered flag. After the heat races, the competition was well aware that it would have its work cut out as Grant was on the outside of the front row for the 20-lap main event. Brent was directly behind him in the fourth-place spot. Dalton started the race in eighth. As soon as the green lights flashed on, the other drivers in the field realized their worst dreams. Grant took off and by the end of the third circuit, he was nearly a full straightaway in front of the competition. Brent was up to third by the end of the first lap and was second at the conclusion of lap six, but he was not going to get near the lead spot as Grant was a couple of time zones ahead. Dalton's night did not go as well as the rest of the SGR clan. A broken heim on the right rear torsion arm knocked him out of action with a season-worst 11th place finish. It also knocked him out of the series point lead. The only time Brent gained any ground on Grant came at the midway point of the race when a lapped car decided he was going to race the leader. While the impromptu battle took place, Brent gained some ground. However, as soon as Grant put the lapper behind him, he was gone. He led the remainder of the way and scored a convincing win in the 20-lapper that went green to checkered without interruption. Brent came across the line in second. While it was Grant's second win in the SWLS in 2022, it was his fourth win overall. In addition to the lightning wins chronicled above, he won a 360 sprint car main event at Ventura on April 16th. Up next for SGR will be a return to Barona on June 25th. Going into that race, new point leader Brent, a two-time CLS champion, has a 20-point lead over Dalton. Grant is eighth. Sexton/Gatlin Racing would like to thank the following companies for making the 2022 season possible. Sexton Fire Protection, BK Wings, Johnny Motorhead, Troy Dirt, Victory Graphix, Swift Powdercoat, Maxima Oil, and an extra special thanks to Scotty and Jimmy Keys.

  CHIARAMONTE MAKES THIRD MIDGET APPEARANCE SATURDAY AT MERCED

  (El Cajon, CA June 16, 2022) For the third time in his young career, teenage racer Braden Chiaramonte will take on the best midget drivers west of the Mississippi in a USAC Western Midget Series race at the Merced Speedway this Saturday night, June 18th. The race will be the first time the talented driver has appeared on the racy 3/8 of a mile clay oval in California's Central Valley. BRADEN CHIARAMONTE 3.jpg Braden Chiaramonte in the Matt Streeter midget at Bakersfield. Lance Jennings photo. For this week's race at Merced, Chiaramonte, 15, will once again be driving the Matt Streeter 14JR. The first time the El Cajon, California teen showed up to drive the car at the Bakersfield Speedway on April 16th, those unfamiliar with him thought he was just another rookie driver. That started to change when he qualified ninth fastest in the 21-car field. Minutes later on the first lap of his heat race, he showed everyone that they needed to sit up and pay attention. He went from his fourth-place starting spot into the lead on the first lap. He then led the first six laps before the 2021 series champion finally chased him down and took the top spot. The impressive teen never gave up and ended up finishing second. For the main that night, Chiaramonte started ninth and finished 10th in the 21-car field that was mostly comprised of veterans. His last name gave long-time race watchers fits as they tried to tell their friends about him the next day. Five weeks after his initial foray in Streeter's car, the duo teamed up again at the Ventura Raceway on May 24th. Chiaramonte's appearance in that race drew a lot of attention from those wondering if his initial outing was a fluke. He put those notions to rest in qualifying. He turned in a lap at 12.486. That was third fastest in the 24-car field in only his second-ever appearance in a midget. After a 6th place finish in his heat race he began the 30-lap main event inside the 5th row in 9th. Once again competing against seasoned veterans he had an impressive night moving forward to finish seventh. Chiaramonte is not competing for points in the West Coast Midget Series, but he is in 18th in the standings despite only contesting two of the first six races on the schedule. Last week Chiaramonte made his first-ever appearance at the Lemoore Jet Bowl. In addition to debuting at the track, he was in a car he had never driven before. He qualified sixth fastest of the 17 cars on hand and placed second in his heat race.

  BRODY ROA TAKES SECOND IN VENTURA RACEWAY SPRINT CAR RACE

  (Cypress, CA, June 14, 2022) Brody Roa made his only 2022 trip to the Ventura Raceway to race a 410 sprint car a successful one when he finished second in the 30-lap USAC/CRA main event last Saturday night. The finish gave him two podiums in his last two races. PAS 5-28-22=91r=4109-3.jpg Brody Roa at Perris photo courtesy of Doug Allen. Roa and the #91R team welcomed the journey to the beachside track as it got them away from the sizzling inland temperatures that prevailed in Southern California. The veteran driver was joined by 23 other USAC/CRA series competitors at the track that features background noise from the Pacific Ocean. Roa, who lives in Garden Grove, California, put the brilliant green #91R through its paces in qualifying on the tiny 1/5 mile oval. He ended up eighth quickest in the field with a time of 13.288. The veteran driver then went from fourth to second in heat race #2. That earned him the outside row one starting spot for the main event. As soon as the green flag waved at the track that was quickly becoming shrouded in fog, 31-year-old Roa went to the outside to try and beat the pole-sitter to turn one. As he and others quickly found out, it was going to take a lot to get by on the outside. The best hope for all drivers was for the car in front of them to slip off the pole as the outside was not the place to be. The leader had Roa hounding him from behind, but he was driving a perfect race. His only real bobble came as they exited turn two on the third lap when he slightly slipped off the pole. Roa tried to shoot through the momentary gap, but there was not enough room. Throughout the remainder of the race, as Roa stalked the leader, he was constantly fending off the advances of the third and fourth-place drivers who did not give him a moment's rest. Despite a handful of yellow slowing the action, the intensity of the battle between the top four never ended. Roa survived all the thrusts of the third, fourth and fifth place cars and came home with a hard-earned second-place finish. Roa's clean driving saw him lauded by winner Tanner Boul at the end of the race. "I think Brody was a little better than us, but there really was not a way to get around somebody without turning them," Boules told the crowd. "He kind of gave me a little nudge every now and then to remind me he was still there, but he never turned me." "We will take it," Roa said over the track mic. "It was kind of follow the leader around the bottom. Congratulation to Tanner and those guys (the winner and his crew). He never put a wheel wrong the whole time. Thanks to everybody who puts into this program. They have done a ton for us and we appreciate it." The second-place finish equaled Roa's season-best performance that he turned in at the ASCS/CAS race at the Central Arizona Speedway on February 12th. Up next for Roa will be the inaugural Bubby Jones/Ray Scheetz Memorial at Perris Auto Speedway on June 25th. After that, plans are to head to Indiana for the annual Indiana Sprint Week that begins on July 22. The new Brody Roa t-Shirts will be available at all races beginning on June 25th at Perris. They are also available online along with other Brody Roa Performance items at the following link https://www.brodyroa.com/. In 2022, Roa will race USAC/CRA, USAC National, and other select events, in his #91R BR Performance/HD Industries Eagle. He will also drive the #8M for May Motorsports in select USAC West Coast events. The 2019 USAC Southwest and 2017 USAC West Coast champion is always open to discussing other driving opportunities. Roa and the team want to thank the following sponsors for making the 2022 season possible. HD Industries, Burris Racing, Sander Engineering, Inland Rigging, Caltrol, "Biker" Bruce Fischer, Competition Suspension, ALR Virtual Services, K-1 Race Gear, Molecule, Rod End Supply, Driven Racing Oil, Baldwin Filters, and NGK Spark Plugs. In addition, the veteran driver offers thanks to RDM Mechanics, Fastenal, Coopers Propane, Ten West Towing, Ten West Environmental, TJM Distribution, and Westco International for sponsoring the #8M he will pilot for Jayson May on 10 occasions in 2022.

  DAVID GASPER GETS THIRD CLS WIN AT BAKERSFIELD

  (Torrance, CA, June 14, 2022) After a couple of engine issues in the first three races of the 2022 season, California Lightning Sprint Car Series champion David Gasper has been on a roll that continued last Saturday night when he won the 25-lap main event at the Bakersfield Speedway. The victory was his series-leading third win of the year. Yucca Valley's Jeff Dyer started the night off by setting his second fast time of the year in the West Evans Motorsports Qualifying. The veteran stopped the clocks at 13.236. Five-time series champion Bobby Michnowicz of Oak Hills was second fastest with a time of 13.272. Palmdale's Eric Greco was third with a 13.340 lap. Gasper was sixth quick at 13.517. 287162712_3125363317714996_197969532783146395_n.jpg Left to right. Third-place finisher Eric Greco, winner David Gasper, and second-place finisher Bobby Michnowicz. CLS photo. A pair of eight-lap heat races preceded the CLS main event. The first one, which was sponsored by Extreme Mufflers, went to impressive series-leading rookie Will Browne of Glendora for his first-ever CLS win. Dyer and "Rockstar" Jon Robertson of Torrance placed second and third. Yoshimura R&D Heat #2 was taken by local Leland Day of Bakersfield with Michnowicz and point leader Cody Nigh of Camarillo in the place and show spots. It was Day's first CLS heat win of 2022. The heat greeted the teams when they got to the track as it was a toasty 99 degrees in the afternoon. However, by the time the main event pushed off the thermometer had plummeted all the way down to 95 degrees. To compound the misery of the oven-like temperatures, there was not even a wisp of a breeze. For the main event on the blazing hot night, Nigh and Gasper were on the front row. Row two featured Greco in his #8G and Browne in his #8. Michnowicz and Dyer sat next to each other in row three. At the drop of the Randy Schweitzer green flag, Nigh raced into the lead. Browne momentarily poked his nose into second coming off turn two on the opener, but Gasper relegated him back to third before they completed the first of 25 revolutions on "The West's Fastest 1/3 Mile High Banked Clay Oval" By the end of the third circuit, Nigh had established a half-straight lead and his uncle, Michnowicz, had closed in on Gasper. Nigh was cruising out front, but like the opening night at Bakersfield on March 25th, he was about to experience heartbreak. At the opener, he led every inch of the way only to get passed two feet from the stripe and lose by less than a foot. This time Nigh had a half-straight lead when he tangled with a lapped car of Yucca Valley's debuting driver Seth Dyer in turn three on the sixth circuit. Nigh tipped over and out came the red flag. Both drivers were okay, but their cars were done for the night. Nigh showed his class a few hours later when he texted Dyer's dad saying that the accident was not Seth's fault and apologizing. The next morning, he messaged a member of the media with the same communication. After the two cars in the tangle were towed off, action resumed with Gasper at the point. Nigh, Browne, Greco and Dyer made up the remainder of the top five. Michnowicz peeked at the outside of Gasper soon after the race restarted, but the teen motored away to a comfortable lead. Behind them, the Browne, Greco, Dyer battle for third was more than exciting. Coming to the end of lap six, Dyer swept wide out of turn four to go around Greco and then dove to the inside of Browne for third. Dyer's fifth to third swoop was a crowd pleaser, but it did not phase Browne and Greco as a lap later the trio flew off turn four in a 3 abreast formation for the third spot. When they hit turn one, Dyer, on the outside had fended them off, but Greco did get by Browne to move up to fourth. While those three were battling for 3rd, out front Gasper looked like he was on a Sunday drive. He had advanced his lead to a half straightaway over Michnowicz. By lap 15, the teenage leader was into lap traffic. But that did not last for long. A yellow due to Robertson rolling to a stop on the back chute halted the action on lap 21. The yellow gave the chasers hope, but as soon as the green light flashed back on, those hopes were dashed. Gasper simply ran away in his bright blue Kittle Motorsports/Certified Construction/Rattlesnake Ridge/Valley Precision Products/Martin Roofing/B2 Design/Hyper Race Cars/Saldana Race Products #18 for his series-leading third win of 2022. Michnowicz stayed in second and was followed across the line by Greco, Dyer, and Browne. Michnowicz received the Speed Mart/Advanced Racing Suspension/Hepfner Racing Products Hard Charger Award and Nigh received the Speed Mart Hard Luck Award. The CLS will get this Saturday night off before returning to the Ventura Raceway for round #9 of the championship season on June 25th. Jeff Dyer will bring a 15-point lead over Greco into Ventura. Gasper is third, 16 behind Greco. Nigh and Browne are fourth and fifth. West Evans Motorsports Qualifying: 1. Jeff Dyer, 13.236; 2. Bobby Michnowicz, 13.272; 3. Eric Greco, 13.340; 4.

  CHIARAMONTE MAKES TWO OF THREE MAIN EVENTS IN INDIANA

  (El Cajon, CA June 11, 2022) For the second time in less than a month, Southern California teenage racer Braden Chiaramonte returned to Indiana's US 24 Speedway to drive a Hyper house car in one of micro racing's biggest events, the Performance Electronics Outlaw Wingless Big Dance. The talent-stacked field featured 81 entries from 17 different states and Australia. 286022585_5109319902449953_1806317511164066205_n.jpg Braden Chiaramonte after a heat race win at US 24 Speedway. Chiaramonte photo. Three weeks earlier when Chiaramonte was in town for the All In Transportation Wingless Clash, he took on a field of over 90 cars with some of the best drivers in the nation. This time it was the same story with more than 80 cars driven by drivers who made the trek to the "Hoosier State" for three nights of highly competitive action. As was the case in his first trip to Indiana, Chiaramonte made the main event the first two nights and he was one of only eight drivers among the original 81 entries to do so. Wheeling the Hyper house car on opening night, the El Cajon, California-based driver set the fastest time in his hot lap session with an 11.392. That put him on the pole for the fifth 10-lap heat race of the night from where he drove to his first victory of the week. Next up was his 20-lap qualifier race. In that one, he started fourth and moved up two positions to finish second and earn his ticket into the night's 30-lap main event. Against another stacked field, Chiaramonte began the race in ninth place and brought the bright orange and grey #95B home in 12th. On night #2, Chiaramonte again posted the fastest time in his hot lap session with an 11.887. Instead of being off the pole like the first night, the talented 15-year-old was coming from the outside of the front row in the 10-lapper. However, the results proved to be the same as he won his heat race for the second night in a row on the 1/6 mile slightly banked clay oval that is in Logansport. That was followed up by another 20-lap qualifier. He started second in the qualifier and placed third. That again earned him one of the coveted 20 positions in the main event. He started and finished 14th in the second night 30-lap finale. For the third straight night, Chiaramonte again showed the competition the fastest way around the track in his hot lap group. This time he turned in a fast lap of 11.741. In his ten-lap heat, he started 5th and he finished third. The talented young driver started 9th in his qualifier and placed 8th. Unfortunately, that marked the end of his weekend. This week, for the third time in two months, Chiaramonte will be wheeling a USAC Western Midget for Matt Streeter at the Merced Speedway. Full details coming in a release in a couple of days. If you are looking to enter the world of lightning sprint car racing, Chiaramonte's #73 car is for sale. It is the same car that he drove to the 2021 "Minn-Kota Shootout" championship, 2021 POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series "Rookie of the Year" award, 2nd in the 2021 SWLS point standings and SWLS main event wins in 2021 and 2022.

  SETH DYER JOINS HIS DAD JEFF IN SATURDAY'S BAKERSFIELD CLS RACE

  (Yucca Valley, CA, June 10, 2022) Over his racing career, veteran driver Jeff Dyer has had a lot of thrills. However, what is going to happen Saturday at the Bakersfield Speedway will push all those other thrills to the back burner. For the first time, one of his competitors will be his 16-year-old son Seth, who is making his debut in the California Lightning Sprint Car Series. 286185396_10221371680227027_9056063913647964802_n.jpg Seth Dyer, shown here working on his Speedway Sprint, will race a lightning sprint car for the first time on Saturday at Bakersfield. Dyer family photo. Just a few years ago, Dyer and his wife Christina took Seth to a rocky field and let him cut some laps in a speedway sprint (a scaled-down sprint car powered by a Honda engine). From those humble beginnings, Seth has progressed to the point of taking second place in the restrictor class of speedway sprints two weeks ago at Wheel2Wheel Raceway in Victorville. Now seems to be the right time to expose him to a new racing discipline. "I am excited and nervous about the clutch and the speed," Seth said. "I think I will do better now (than when he practiced in a lightning sprint before) as I have a lot more confidence in a race car." The idea for Seth to race a lightning sprint is not a new one. In fact, his dad thought it may have happened earlier this year. "I was going to buy him a car in the off-season," Dyer said looking back on last winter. "I just could not find a deal that was going to work. I sat down and talked to him about what he wanted to do. He wanted to build another restrictor car (speedway sprint). We found a good deal and build him a new car. We did a lot of practicing with that in the off-season and he was doing pretty good." "I don't think it will be that big of a learning curve going from speedway sprints to a lightning sprint car," said Dyer, who also races in the tough, USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series. "I have driven speedway sprints and they are pretty hard to drive. Those things have a lot of horsepower for how small they are. So, I do not think the horsepower will be that big of a deal. I think the bigger car and the wing will be the biggest learning curve." While Saturday will be Seth's first time racing a lightning sprint, it is not the first time he has driven one and it will not be his first time on the track at Bakersfield. He turned in some laps in his father's car there in a pre-season practice session. "He did pretty good and got better as the night went on," Dyer said. "I had talked to Pat Kelley about it as he has about 17 lightning sprints. He was going to do it earlier in the season. Seth did not feel really comfortable so, he put it off. I kept asking him and this weekend kind of worked out. He had a race in Victorville this weekend, but with the way the points are in the CLS, I called Pat and made a deal, and he graciously loaned us a car." Dyer cannot wait to see his son on the track, but like any parent, his nerves are working overtime. "It is a big deal, but it is pretty nerve-wrecking at the same time," Dyer laughed. "I thought I would be done and retired by the time he started doing it but here we are. I am excited." Dad wants the son to move up and the son concurs with that. He hopes to go full-time lightning sprint racing in the middle of the 2023 season. Not to be overshadowed on the big night is the fact that Dyer, despite missing one race this year, is currently second in CLS points. He has finished second in the last four races in a row. In his other two series starts in 2022, he has a third and a fourth-place finish. Dyer would like to thank the following for making the 2022 season 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 make it all possible.

  FLOWDYNAMICS DRIVERS HEAD TO VENTURA RACEWAY FOR USAC/CRA RACE

  (Ontario, CA, June 10, 2022) The Flowdynamics racing team and its two drivers, Matt McCarthy and Logan Williams will hit the road Saturday when the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series competes at the Ventura Raceway for the only time in the 2022 season. The race will mark the first time the Series has appeared on the beachside oval since 2019. PAS 3-26-22=28m 5w=1085-3.jpg Flowdynamics teammates Matt McCarthy (inside) and Logan Williams in recent action at Perris Auto Speedway. Doug Allen photo. Williams and McCarthy both enter Saturday night's race in the top 10 in USAC/CRA points. Williams is currently fourth in the championship standings and McCarthy is ninth. Going into the event Williams is only one point shy of fourth. McCarthy sits 48-points out of the eighth-place spot. William's climb in the standings comes off two straight top-five finishes. Four weeks ago at the Bakersfield Speedway, he recorded his best finish of the year when he came home fourth. He followed that up with a sixth-place finish at the 71st running of the Salute to Indy at Perris Auto Speedway two weeks ago. In that same race, William's oldest brother Cody posted the victory. Logan's other brother, Austin, came home one spot ahead of him in fifth. McCarthy was at the last USAC/CRA race on the tiny track on the Ventura County Fairgrounds in May of 2019 and to say the least, it was a memorable night. He did not get a lap in during qualifying. That did not bode well for the main event as it meant he had to start at the back. After finishing fifth in his heat race he started in 23rd. From the drop of the green flag, he did nothing but move forward to finish an impressive 11th. So far in 2022, Williams and McCarthy have perfect attendance records in the USAC/CRA Series. They will stay busy with the first Bubby Jones/Ray Sheetz Memorial on July 25th at Perris. Two weeks later it will be back-to-back nights in Central California at the Keller Auto Speedway in Hanford and at the Stone Chevrolet, Buick, GMC Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare on July 8th, and 9th. After those two dates, they will get a six-week summer break before returning to Perris on August 20th. Team shirts for both drivers will be on sale in the pits after this Saturday's race at Ventura. All the action at Ventura will get underway when the spectator gates open at 3:00 p.m. The first race will be at 5:30. Adult tickets are $25.00. Seniors 60 and over, and military with id get in for $22.00. Students with id get in for $18.00. Children five and under are free. The track is located on the Ventura County Fairgrounds at 10 W. Harbor Boulevard in Ventura (93001). The website is http://venturaraceway.com/ and the office phone number is (805) 648-RACE. McCarthy and Williams would like to thank the following sponsors for making the 2021 season possible. Flowdynamics Inc., JFK Design Build, Cal Therm Mechanical Insulators, CRC Component Repair Co., Encore Gas and Supply, Drink-Pac, and Benic Enterprises. If you or your company would like to come on board and join up with one of the fastest rising sprint car teams west of the Mississippi, please contact John McCarthy at 909 930-5522 or mailto:john@flodyinc.com Matt McCarthy 2022 Results 1/27/22 Cocopah Speedway USAC/CRA 22nd A Main 1/28/22 Cocopah Speedway USAC/CRA 15th A Main 1/29/22 Cocopah Speedway USAC/CRA 14th A Main 3/26/22 Perris Auto Speedway USAC/CRA 7th A Main 4/1/22 Keller Auto Speedway USAC/CRA 15th A Main 4/2/22 Tulare Thunderbowl USAC/CRA 18th A Main 4/23/22 Mohave Valley Raceway USAC/CRA 10th A Main 4/30/22 Perris Auto Speedway USAC/CRA DNS 5/14/22 Bakersfield Speedway USAC/CRA 16th A Main 5/28/22 Perris Auto Speedway USAC/CRA 15th A Main Logan Williams 2022 Results 1/27/22 Cocopah Speedway USAC/CRA 6th A Main 1/28/22 Cocopah Speedway USAC/CRA 7th A Main 1/29/22 Cocopah Speedway USAC/CRA 7th A Main 3/26/22 Perris Auto Speedway USAC/CRA 11th A Main 4/1/22 Keller Auto Speedway USAC/CRA 11th A Main 4/2/22 Tulare Thunderbowl USAC/CRA 12th A Main 4/23/22 Mohave Valley Raceway USAC/CRA 22nd A Main 4/30/22 Perris Auto Speedway USAC/CRA 11th A Main 5/14/22 Bakersfield Speedway USAC/CRA 4th A Main 5/28/22 Perris Auto Speedway USAC/CRA 6th A Main This release was produced by Scott Daloisio (909) 226-7768 and mailto: sdaloisiosports@gmail.com

  EDDIE TAFOYA TACKLES VENTURA RACEWAY FOR FIRST TIME IN THREE YEARS

  (June 10, 2022) For the first time in three years and only the second time in his young career, 2019 USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series "Rookie of The Year," Eddie Tafoya Jr., will be plying his talents at the Ventura Raceway this Saturday night, June 11th. It will be the only time to see him on the famous track that is adjacent to the beach in 2022. PAS 5-28-22=51=3940-3.jpg Eddie Tafoya Jr. will be making his second-ever appearance at the Ventura Raceway on Saturday. Doug Allen photo. Tafoya, a second-generation sprint car driver who lives in Chino Hills, California, goes into Saturday's race ranked fourth in the series championship standings. He moved into that spot two weeks ago when he finished eighth in the extremely competitive 71st running of the Salute To Indy at Perris Auto Speedway. The last time Tafoya raced at Ventura, he was coming off his 2018 Perris Auto Speedway Young Guns Sprint Car Series championship and he was only a couple of months into his rookie year in USAC/CRA. He was just learning the ropes running with the big boys. The "Newby" qualified 14th fastest on his first night at the track. He came home sixth in his heat race and 20th in the main. This Saturday when fans observe Tafoya for only his second time on the longtime track, they are going to see a completely different driver. He now has 2 ½ seasons of experience racing 410s and he is brimming with confidence. Last season, he started the main event 11 times in USAC/CRA only shows. He had one top-three finish, placed eighth in points, and had a finishing average of 9.9 in those races. This season, he has competed in all 10 USAC/CRA events and has two top-three finishes including a career-best second-place at Arizona's Cocopah Speedway on January 29th. He is fourth in points and his average finish is 8.8. After Saturday's trek to "The Commotion By The Ocean," Tafoya will get one weekend off before returning to action in the first Bubby Jones/Ray Sheetz Memorial at Perris on June 25th. For fans attending Saturday's race and who would like to pick up one of Tafoya's great-looking shirts, see him in the pits after the final event. For those not going, but who would like to enhance their wardrobe with an Eddie Tafoya shirt, contact the young driver on his Instagram account at @eddietafoya51. For fans of "Mr. Smooth" who would like to see him in person at Ventura, 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. Spectator gates will open at 3:00 p.m. and racing will begin at 5:30. Adult tickets are $25.00. Seniors 60 and over, and military with id get in for $22.00. Students with id get in for $18.00. Children five and under are free.

  DALTON AND BRENT SEXTON ON TOP OF SWLS STANDINGS GOING INTO BARONA

  (Lakeside, CA, June 10, 2022) When the Lucas Oil POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series returns to action with a winged race at the Barona Speedway on Saturday night, Dalton Sexton and his father Brent will be fighting for the series point lead. They will be joined for the race by teammate and recent high school graduate Grant Sexton. 281560913_10222373773474985_5153716625272308854_n.jpg Dalton Sexton on his way to the wingless SWLS win at Barona last month. Missy Benker photo. A month ago at the last race in the series, which was a wingless affair also at Barona, SGR drivers swept the podium. Dalton became the first series driver with two wins on the year when he finished in front of David Bezio. Bezio was standing in for Grant who was attending his high school prom. The third spot went to Brent. Going into Saturday's show, Dalton, who also won the season opener at Imperial, leads his dad by 21-points. Defending series champion Grant, who missed the race for the prom, another when he was ill and did a start and park due to a crash in his heat at the season opener at Imperial in March, is eighth. Saturday's race at Barona will be the sixth Lightning Sprint Car race for SGR in 2022. Five of the races have been with the POWRi Southwest Series and the other was with the California Lightning Series. Amazingly, SGR drivers have won five of the six. As was previously mentioned, Dalton has a pair of wins. Grant has captured two as well, and Brent has one. The only time the team did not get a win was on April 3rd at Imperial. However, SGR cars placed third, fourth, and fifth in that race. All told, in 2022, SGR cars have made 18 starts in six lightning sprint races. Including the wins, they have amazingly taken 11 top-three finishes and 13 top-fives. Only two times have SGR cars finished out of the top 10. Saturday's race at Barona will be the third of six for SGR in 2022 at the track located closest to its Lakeside, California headquarters. Gates will open at 3:00 p.m. with racing at 6:00. Adult tickets are $20.00. Kids 7-17 are $10.00 and children 6 and under are free. Family packs of two adults and two kids are available for $50.00. Seniors, military, and EMTs get in for $10.00. The track is located at 1754 Wildcat Road in Lakeside (92040). The track website is https://baronaspeedway.com/ and the office phone number is (619) 994-6560. After Saturday, SGR will be back at Barona on June 25th and July 9th, before heading to Washington's Demming Speedway for the prestigious "Clay Cup" on July 14th, 15th, and 16th. Sexton/Gatlin Racing would like to thank the following companies for making the 2022 season possible. Sexton Fire Protection, BK Wings, Johnny Motorhead, Troy Dirt, Victory Graphix, Swift Powdercoat, Maxima Oil, and an extra special thanks to Scotty and Jimmy Keys.

  TRENT WILLIAMS, A DRIVER TO KEEP AN EYE ON SATURDAY AT VENTURA

  (Hesperia, CA, June 9, 2022) When the Amsoil USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series makes its first stop at the Ventura Raceway in three years this Saturday night, fans would be well advised to keep an eye on racer Trent Williams. While only making a few appearances at the track in years gone by, he is no stranger to running up front and collecting some hardware at the beachside oval. PAS 5-28-22=52v=3983-3.jpg Trent Williams qualifying at Perris on May 28th. Doug Allen photo. In the past, Williams has accepted the victory accolades at Ventura two times in the VRA Sprint Car Series. In addition to his prowess against the local group of racers, the last time he raced there in the USAC West Coast Sprint car series he finished fourth in the main event. When the USAC/CRA series last visited Ventura Raceway on May 4th, 2019, 23 cars showed up. Williams turned in a fine qualifying lap of 13.097 which was six fastest on the night. After a fifth-place finish in his heat, he placed 12th in the main event After missing the first three races of 2022 while getting his car ready, the Apple Valley California driver has competed in the series' last seven main events in a row. In those seven races Williams has placed ninth five times, 10th once and 13th one time. While those finishes are consistent, the Cal State Fullerton graduate wants to move forward. His past prowess at Ventura could see him do so on Saturday. Williams has two top 10 qualifying efforts thus far in 2022. He was 10th at Perris in April, and eighth at Bakersfield on the 14th of May. He has fared very well in his first seven heat races this year with six top-four finishes. Those finishes include a win in one of the 10-lappers at Hanford in March. His smooth style sees him arriving at Ventura in the 13th position in the championship standings. For fans who would like to attend Saturday's show at Ventura to see "T-Dub" in action, the track is located on the Ventura County Fairgrounds at 10 W. Harbor Boulevard (93001).

  BRODY ROA TO CONTEST SATURDAY'S USAC/CRA RACE AT VENTURA

  (Cypress, CA, June 9, 2022) Popular Southern California Sprint car racer Brody Roa will be back in action this Saturday night, June 11th, when the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series makes its annual appearance at the Ventura Raceway. The Garden Grove, California-based driver enters the race just two weeks after his best USAC/CRA finish of 2022 when he placed third in the 71st annual salute to Indy at Perris Auto Speedway. PAS 5-28-22=91r=4234-3.jpg Brody Roa and his crew after 3rd place Perris Finish. Left to right, Joe Gibb, crew chief Zac Bozanich, Brody's daughter Addison Leanne, Brody and his father Brett. Doug Allen photo. Roa's last three appearances at Ventura in a 410 Sprint car have finished very well. In 2017 he was on the podium with a third-place finish. One year later in 2018, he won his only series event at the track affectionately known as "The Commotion By The Ocean." The last time the Southern California sanctioning body appeared there three years ago, Roa turned in the 10th fastest qualifying time, won his heat, and went from 10th on the start to finish fifth in the main. This Saturday's race will be Roa's 11th Sprint car start in 2022. It will also be his seventh nonwing race of the year. Of those seven starts, Roa has one second-place finish, one third, a fourth, two fifths, and two sixths. While he is not running for points and has only contested five of the series' first 10 races, he has scored 334 points and is ranked 14th. That averages to 66.8 points per race. Pro rating those points by 10-races if he had competed in every race, he would have currently been second in the standings. The tiny Ventura Oval has been a popular stop for Southern California sprint car fans since 1993. Located on the Ventura County fairgrounds, the track's pit area is just a few feet away from the breaking waves of the Pacific Ocean. The location of the track makes it more than just a race night for the fans and the race teams as they spend much of the daytime before the race at the beach or the surrounding areas. While the track has been a regular stop for the USAC/CRA series since its birth in 2004, Saturday's race will be the first time the group has been there since 2019. The scheduled race for 2020 at the track was canceled due to COVID. With COVID still lingering in early 2021, the track was unable to open until after the scheduled series date. Roa's new shirts and hoodies will finally be available in June. For fans who would like to purchase one of the new hoodies, the pre-order deadline for them will be this Sunday, June 12th. T-Shirts will be available at all races beginning on June 25th at Perris. They are also available online along with other Brody Roa Performance items at the following link https://www.brodyroa.com/. For fans who would like to see "The Pride of Garden Grove" in action on Saturday, the track is located on the Ventura County Fairgrounds at 10 W. Harbor Boulevard in Ventura (93001). The website is http://venturaraceway.com/ and the office phone number is (805) 648-RACE. Spectator gates will open at 3:00 p.m. and racing will begin at 5:30. Adult tickets are $25.00. Seniors 60 and over, and military with id get in for $22.00. Students with id get in for $18.00. Children five and under are free. While Roa has two races on his schedule in the month of June, the BR Performance crew is busy getting ready for the annual "Indiana Sprint Week" from July 22nd through the 30th. The team has a couple of fresh cars and a couple of fresh engines for the journey and it is seeking some marketing sponsors for the trip. If you or your company would like to join up with this well-marketed friendly team, email Roa at mailto:brodyroa91@gmail.com. You can also call or text at 714-932-7994. In 2022, Roa will race USAC/CRA, USAC National, and other select events, in his #91R BR Performance/HD Industries Eagle. He will also drive the #8M for May Motorsports in select USAC West Coast events. The 2019 USAC Southwest and 2017 USAC West Coast champion is always open to discussing other driving opportunities. Roa and the team want to thank the following sponsors for making the 2022 season possible. HD Industries, Burris Racing, Sander Engineering, Inland Rigging, Caltrol, "Biker" Bruce Fischer, Competition Suspension, ALR Virtual Services, K-1 Race Gear, Molecule, Rod End Supply, Driven Racing Oil, Baldwin Filters, and NGK Spark Plugs. In addition, the veteran driver offers thanks to RDM Mechanics, Fastenal, Coopers Propane, Ten West Towing, Ten West Environmental, TJM Distribution, and Westco International for sponsoring the #8M he will pilot for Jayson May on 10 occasions in 2022.

  FAMILIAR FACE RETURNS AND ONE DEBUTS IN CLS BAKERSFIELD RACE

  (Torrance, CA, June 7, 2022) A couple of familiar faces will enter the fray when the California Lightning Sprint Car Series visits Scott Schweitzer's Bakersfield Speedway this Saturday night. Indio's James Turnbull will be returning to the series for the first time this year and teenager Seth Dyer will make his series debut. In 2021, Indio, California resident Turnbull led the CLS championship standings in the early part of the season. He won a main event at the Merced Speedway and ended up third overall in points last year. Since the end of the 2021 season, he has been working on a 410 sprint car to race in the USAC/CRA Series. DSC09357.JPG James Turnbull in a CLS race at Santa Maria in 2021. Lance Jenning photo. Saturday Turnbull will be driving the #41 CLS car owned by Bakersfield's Mike Schweitzer. The seat came open as Schweitzer's regular driver, A.J. Bender will be competing in the USAC/CRA race at Ventura. Thus far in 2022, the CLS has visited Bakersfield three times, and Bender has driven the #41 to two wins there. He also drove it to a victory at Placerville with the Bay Cities Racing Association. "Turnbull had a really fantastic year in 2021 and if all the planets would have aligned, he very easily could have won the championship," CLS president Jon Robertson said. "I think that it's really good having him back and he is going to be in a top-class car. Bender has won main events in that car and they have a pretty similar driving style. I expect some really good things out of him." For Dyer, it will be his first-ever race in a Lightning Sprint Car. The teen has been honing his skill in the Speedway Sprints at Wheel2Wheel Raceway in Victorville, where he had his best finish coming home second on May 21st. The son of veteran racer Jeff Dyer, the teen can always be seen helping his father at the track and is popular with everyone in the pits. For his debut, the Yucca Valley rookie will be driving a car owned by longtime racer Pat Kelley of Chino. "It is pretty exciting bringing new generations into the sport," Robertson continued when talking about Dyer. "Seth has cut his teeth on the cars up there at Wheel2Wheel . He has done really great at that track. Having him come in and picking up the pieces to follow in his dad's footsteps can be a fantastic thing. It is great when you can have the father and son racing on the same track." 286185396_10221371680227027_9056063913647964802_n.jpg Seth Dyer working on his Speedway Sprint at Wheel2Wheel Raceway. Dyer photo. Camarillo's Cody Nigh comes into the race with a 68-point lead over second-place Jeff Dyer. In seven races this year, Nigh has never finished worse than sixth and has been in the top five, five times. Dyer has been at six of the first seven CLS events in 2022. He started the season with fourth and third-place finishes and has finished second in the last four races. Palmdale's Eric Greco, who won the last race at Ventura on May 21st, is third and trails Dyer by 13-points. Defending CLS champion David Gasper, who has two wins, is fourth and is only 3-points behind Greco. Series leading rookie, Will Browne of Glendora, currently holds down the fifth-place spot. The newcomer's best outings have been a pair of fourth-place finishes. While Saturday's race will be the fourth of the year for the CLS on "The Fastest 1/3 Mile High Banked Clay Oval In The West," it will be the club's last time at the track until the final Saturday in September. After this Saturday's race, the CLS will have one week off before returning to action at the Ventura Raceway on June 25th.

  WILLIAMS UP TO FIFTH AND McCARTHY UP TO NINTH AFTER SALUTE TO INDY

  (Ontario, CA, June 6, 2022) Flowdynamics drivers Logan Williams and Matt McCarthy both moved up a position in the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series standings after the 71st running of the Salute to Indy at Perris Auto Speedway. Williams, who finished fifth in the 30-lap main event, is now fifth in the season-long standings. McCarthy, who came home 15th, moved up to ninth. DSC_5244.jpg Logan Williams placed fifth in the Salute to Indy at Perris Auto Speedway. Charles Fawcett photo. Twenty-four cars showed up for the prestigious race on the famous Riverside County half-mile clay oval. Williams, the son of National Sprint Car Hall of Famer Rip Williams, turned in the sixth-fastest qualifying lap with a time of 16.626. McCarthy ended up 17th fastest when he stopped the track clocks at 16.929. PAS 5-28-22=28m=3956-3.jpg Matt McCarthy won his heat and placed 15th in the Salute to Indy at Perris Auto Speedway. Doug Allen photo. McCarthy, who calls Riverside, California home, was on the pole for the second heat race of the night. The first time the green flag waved to start the 10-lapper, McCarthy took the lead. However, two cars tangled in turn two and one of them stopped on the track. That forced officials to throw the yellow flag and call for a complete restart. The second time the heat started, McCarthy again burst ahead of the rest of the pack, but the yellow light immediately came on. The driver on the outside of the front row did not get a good start. The field bunched up for a third try and as in the previous two, McCarthy flew into the lead. Throughout the race, he continually pulled away and ended up with a half straightaway advantage over the second-place car. It was his second heat race victory of the year. "We felt pretty good these last few races," McCarthy told the crowd in a brief interview after the heat race Triumph. "We have just been fighting demons, monkeys, or whatever you want to call it. We have got this thing pretty good right now and we just have to make it happen for 30-laps later on. So, we will see how it goes." A few moments after McCarthy's commanding performance in his heat, Yorba Linda, California's Williams took to the well-groomed oval for the final heat race of the night. Due to his impressive qualifying time, he was starting on the inside of the third row in fifth. When the 10-lap race ended, he had prevailed in a race-long battle to claim the fourth-place spot. While McCarthy sparkled in the heat race portion of the team highlights, it was Logan who shined through in the main event. He started sixth in the 30-lapper with McCarthy coming from 17th. When the Steve Russell green flag sent the field on its way, Williams led the first half lap of the race. He then settled into third place. For several of the early laps, he and his two brothers, Cody and Austin, were running second, third and fourth. In the second half of the race, Williams slipped as far back as seventh. However, in the closing laps, he came back to finish fifth. It was his fifth top 10 result this year and his second top-five in a row. For McCarthy, he slipped back to 18th early on and was part of a pack of six or seven cars throughout the race. The group battled and scrapped all race long and when the checkered ended the action, McCarthy was ahead of the others in the pack and came home 15th. Team shirts for both drivers will be on sale in the pits after this Saturday's race at the Ventura Raceway. McCarthy and Williams would like to thank the following sponsors for making the 2021 season possible. Flowdynamics Inc., JFK Design Build, Cal Therm Mechanical Insulators, CRC Component Repair Co., Encore Gas and Supply, Drink-Pac, and Benic Enterprises.

  FAST EXIT FOR GRANT SEXTON IN FIRST USAC RACE - HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION FOLLOWED

  (Lakeside, CA, June 5, 2022) While his first appearance in the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series at Perris Auto Speedway was much shorter than he anticipated, Grant Sexton caught the eyes and impressed many longtime race followers. Seven days later he put on the cap and gown and graduated from Granite Hills High School. PAS 5-28-22=3=3966-3.jpg Grant Sexton on his first qualifying lap in the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series. Doug Allen photo. Competing in a 360 sprint car against a field full of powerful 410 cars, Sexton looked smooth, fast, and confident in hot laps. Moments later he qualified with a time of 17.503 which was the 21st fastest in the 24-car field. For his 10-lap heat race, Sexton, who resides in Lakeside, California, was starting on the inside of the fourth row. As soon as the green flag dropped, the 17-year-old beat his fellow row four starter into turn one and set his sights on the cars just in front of him. He went to the wide line going into turn one on the second lap and touched the famous Perris Auto Speedway cushion, which quickly grabbed him and catapulted him into the crash wall. Sexton's peril brought out a yellow flag as he stopped on the track. He was fine, but the car was anything but that. Initially, the crew thought it was not to bad, but once it was towed to their pit, they quickly saw more damage than they initially thought. The damage list included the watts link tabs torn out of the rear frame rail, pan hard bar torn off the front frame rail, all four shocks, front end, and every radius rod. Needless to say, the car was done for the night. Plans are to get the car fixed and run a few more shows with USAC/CRA this year before making a full season run for Rookie of the Year in 2023. He will also continue to campaign his lightning sprint car including next Saturday at Barona when he will be joined by his brother Dalton and father Brent for the next round of the Lucas Oil POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series. Sexton/Gatlin Racing would like to thank the following companies for making the 2022 season possible. Sexton Fire Protection, BK Wings, Johnny Motorhead, Troy Dirt, Victory Graphix, Swift Powdercoat, Maxima Oil, and an extra special thanks to Scotty and Jimmy Keys. Plans are already underway for another busy season in 2022.

  BRODY ROA TAKES THIRD IN SALUTE TO INDY AT PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY

  (Cypress, CA, June 4, 2022) After taking a few weeks off to do family things with his wife and young daughter, veteran driver Brody Roa returned to the cockpit of his famous #91R sprint car and finished third in the 71st running of the "Salute to Indy" at Perris Auto Speedway. It was his first race since finishing sixth in the USAC/CRA Series at Perris at the end of April. PAS 5-28-22=91r=4002-3.jpg Brody Roa qualifying at Perris. Photo courtesy of Doug Allen. Roa, 31, of Garden Grove, California, came into the celebrated race as the defending champion. He immediately served notice that he meant business with the third-fastest qualifying time of the night at 16.447. He followed that up with a convincing win in the third 10-lap heat race. Defense of his title saw Roa start on the outside of the 2nd row in the 30-lapper. From the drop of the green flag, he was in the fight up front in what turned out to be one of the most crowd-pleasing events in the track's 26-year history. Roa only slipped out of the top five one time in the race. That occurred when a car in front of him parked in turn four. "The Pride of Garden Grove" had to slow up to avoid contact and went from third back to sixth, but he quickly found his way back into the top five. By lap 22, he was up to third and he stayed there for the duration. That was his best finish in five starts with USAC/CRA this year. "We were just a little off tonight," Roa told the fans after the race. "Cody (winner Cody Williams), after that last yellow, he was gone. Good job by R.J. (second-place finisher R.J. Johnson). It was a good race. I feel like I was just kind of sitting there hanging out watching it. Glad to run third. We will take it and learn from it. We just guessed wrong tonight." Even though Roa has only contested five of the first 10 USAC/CRA races this year, he is 14th in the championship standings and has recorded a third, a fourth, a fifth, and two sixth-place finishes in his five starts. Fans who missed the race and who have a subscription to Flo can watch a full replay on demand. Due to fuel costs and rising prices, the #91R team will not be headed for Huset's Speedway for the USAC National Series race in early July. However, Roa is still open if any team is looking for a driver. If interested, please contact him by phone or the email information within this release. Roa's new shirts and hoodies will finally be available in June. Hoodies are available via pre-order only and must be ordered by June 12th. Shirts will be available at all races beginning on June 25th at Perris. They are also available online along with other Brody Roa Performance items at the following link https://www.brodyroa.com/. 284547483_4932496253470857_4133713825537182415_n.jpg284612631_4932496186804197_4985662261410284674_n.jpg Just beyond the horizon, Roa and the BR Performance crew are looking forward to coming back to Indiana for the annual "Indiana Sprint Week" from July 22nd through the 30th.

He will also drive the #8M for May Motorsports in select USAC West Coast events. The 2019 USAC Southwest and 2017 USAC West Coast champion is always open to discussing other driving opportunities. Roa and the team want to thank the following sponsors for making the 2022 season possible. HD Industries, Burris Racing, Sander Engineering, Inland Rigging, Caltrol, "Biker" Bruce Fischer, Competition Suspension, ALR Virtual Services, K-1 Race Gear, Molecule, Rod End Supply, Driven Racing Oil, Baldwin Filters, and NGK Spark Plugs. In addition, the veteran driver offers thanks to RDM Mechanics, Fastenal, Coopers Propane, Ten West Towing, Ten West Environmental, TJM Distribution, and Westco International for sponsoring the #8M he will pilot for Jayson May on 10 occasions in 2022.

  TRENT WILLIAMS GETS HARD CHARGER AWARD IN PERRIS SALUTE TO INDY

  (Hesperia, CA, June 1, 2022) Placing a disappointing lap in qualifying behind him, Apple Valley, California sprint car driver Trent Williams put on a show going from 18th to finish ninth in the USAC/CRA 30-lap "Salute to Indy" last Saturday at Perris Auto Speedway. The performance earned Williams the "Hard Charger Award" for passing more cars than any other driver. 284530275_709538056919841_4365621914070789717_n.jpg Trent Williams in last Saturday's "Salute to Indy" at Perris. JohnR. Photo. Early in the night in qualifying, Williams steered his #52V to a lap of 16.935. That was 18th fastest of the 24 cars on the premises and it planted "T-Dub" on the pole for the third heat race. The personable driver led the first three laps and was third when the checkered flag ended the 10-lapper. For the main, Williams was on the outside of row nine, which was 18th in the 22-car field. By the time the first yellow flag slowed the race for a car that stopped on the track on lap seven, he had already advanced three spots to 15th. As the race progressed, he continually picked off cars and moved forward. With each car he passed, the level of competition grew tougher. Yet he never stopped making passes and was in ninth when the Steve Russell checkered flag ended the race on lap 30. In the end, he passed more cars than any other driver and thus, earned the "Jim and Chet Gardner Hard Charger Award." Williams stayed in 13th in the championship standings, but he has closed to within 22-points of 10th place. He will try to climb farther up the points ladder when the USAC/CRA Series makes its only appearance of 2022 at the Ventura Raceway on June 11th. When the Victory Boys Performance team heads to Ventura, they will be in a new, long rig and toter they recently picked up from a drag racing friend. Williams would like to thank marketing partners Victory Boys Performance, Sorrento Homes, and JasonR.Photos for making it possible to race his Maxim Chassis/Shaver Engines #52V during the 2022 season. If you or your business would like to be a partner of the Victory Boys racing endeavors, please call (760) 780-8782 or mailto:trent.williams.racing@gmail.com.

Upon his return to the "Hoosier State," Chiaramonte, 15, will be Wheeling the same #95B Hyper house car he drove in last month's "All In Transportation A Wingless Clash." In those races against stiff competition, the El Cajon, California resident made the first two of the three main events on the schedule. He finished 13th and 16th on Thursday and Friday on the 1/6 mile track in Logansport that is located at the junction of the Wabash and Eel Rivers. thumbnail.jpg Braden Chiaramonte will be back in the Hyper house car this week at Indiana's USA Raceway. In the Saturday finale, Chiaramonte had to reach out and pull the shifter by hand when a bolt broke in the LCQ. Despite the issue, he tied for the final spot in the main, but the tiebreaker was the finishing order from Thursday's main event. The car he was tied with finished 11th on Thursday. That was two spots in front of Chiaramonte. Being that it was his first-ever trip to the track and considering 90+ cars were there every night, Chiaramonte's performance earned an invitation back for this week's race. One thing Chiaramonte and the others will not have to battle this weekend is the weather at the track that is 80-miles south of the Indiana/Michigan border. Last month, heavy rains nearly washed out the finale. Except for the chance of some light rain on practice night, this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday all look clear. After this week's race, Chiaramonte will get a weekend off. However, after very impressive appearances in his first two starts with the USAC Western States Midgets, he will be back in Matt Streeter's #14J car at the Merced Speedway on June 18th. Despite the fact that he has only driven the car twice in the series six races, he will head to Merced 18th in the championship point standings. If you are in the area this week, US 24 Raceway, which opened in the late 1950s, is located at 6830 US-24, Logansport, Indiana (46947). Full details are available at the track website http://www.us24speedway.net/ or by calling the office at (219) 863-6618 or (574) 870-5410. If you are looking to enter the world of lightning sprint car racing, Chiaramonte's #73 car is for sale. It is the same car that he drove to the 2021 "Minn-Kota Shootout" championship, 2021 POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series "Rookie of the Year" award, 2nd in the 2021 SWLS point standings and SWLS main event wins in 2021 and 2022.

  USAC WEST COAST SPRINT CARS BATTLE AT VENTURA SATURDAY

  The cars and stars of the USAC West Coast 360 Sprint Car Series will battle at Ventura Raceway, this Saturday, June 4th.

  DYER GETS ANOTHER CLS SECOND PLACE FINISH AT VENTURA - ENGINE ISSUES AT PERRIS

  (Yucca Valley, CA, May 31, 2022) When the checkered flag fell on the California Lightning Sprint Car main event at the Ventura Raceway, Jeff Dyer was in a very familiar place. For the fourth consecutive time, he crossed the line in the second position. One week later on May 28th, he returned to 410 sprint car racing in the USAC/CRA Series at Perris Auto Speedway where things did not turn out as well when he lost an engine in his heat race. 242268932_10165669194285201_6956564525482968828_n.jpg Jeff Dyer photo courtesy of Lance Jennings. When the CLS gathered at Jim Naylor's Ventura Raceway for the third time this year, Dyer started things off on the right foot when he qualified fourth fastest with a time of 12.954. He backed that up with a third-place finish in his eight-lap heat race. For the 25-lap main event, Dyer was starting on the inside of the third row in fifth. At the outset he was fourth and he stayed there through the first seven laps. Things changed in a flash on a lap eight restart when the leader lost a wheel, slid across the track, and got clobbered by another car. Somehow, Dyer avoided contact and weaved his way through the chaos. Finding his way through the mess on the Ventura back straight was a good thing as it meant Dyer would start second when the track went green again. The new leader inched away until he had about an eight-car length advantage over Dyer. That started to change on lap 13 when the leader hit the cushion and biked his car. Dyer, who lives in Yucca Valley, California, closed in dramatically. Two circuits later, the leader was slowed by a lapped car and Dyer nearly pulled even before the leader got past the lapper. Two laps after the leader was slowed by a lapped car, the same thing happened to Dyer for the second race in a row. That essentially sealed his fate as due to the track curfew and the time it came to clear the lap eight mess from the back straight, the race had to be cut to 20-laps. With the loss of momentum and laps, he did not have time to take another shot at first place. Dyer remains in second place in the championship standings and has whittled the leader's advantage down to 68-points going into the next race at Ventura on June 11th. In his first sixth CLS races in 2022, Dyer has finished second four times. He also has one third-place finish and a fourth. He has a phenomenal 2.5 main event finishing position average, which is the best in the club. While Dyer was finishing second at Ventura, 143-miles to the east, his teenage son Seth did the same in the restricted speedway sprint class at Wheel2Wheel Raceway in Victorville. The finish was a career-best for the young driver who aspires of driving a full-size sprint car like his dad. While things went well for Dyer in the CLS race in Ventura on the 21st, the ugly side of the sport reared its head on May 28th in the USAC/CRA "Salute to Indy" at Perris Auto Speedway. After qualifying with a lap of 17.249, Dyer was in the second heat race. Unfortunately, a rod ventilated the engine and his #39 went back to the pits in a cloud of smoke. As this piece went to press, the severity of the damage was unknown, but the power plant was headed to the engine doctor on Wednesday. As hard as it may seem to believe, there is no racing on tap for anyone in the Dyer household this week, so it will be a family vacation. On June 11th, Dyer will be back in action with the California Lightning Sprint Car Series at Ventura and possibly doing double duty if the engine is repaired on time for the 410 USAC/CRA car. On the same night, Seth will be trying to go one spot higher and win his first main at Wheel3Wheel. Dyer is racing in memory of his grandfather Glenn Sels throughout the 2022 season. Dyer would like to thank the following for making the 2022 season 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 make it all possible.

  HUGE WEEK FOR GRANT SEXTON - FIRST USAC RACE AND THEN GRADUATION

  (Lakeside, CA, May 27, 2022) Sexton Gatlin Racing driver Grant Sexton is set for one of the biggest weeks of his young life. On Saturday he will journey to Perris Auto Speedway to make his first-ever appearance in a USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series race. Next Friday, June 3rd, the 17-year-old will graduate from Granite Hills High School. thumbnail.jpg Grant Sexton getting fitted in his car for Saturday night at Perris. SGR Photo. The 2021 season saw Sexton, the youngest member of the SGR team, win the championship in the POWRI Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series. He also top-scored the series on the victory side of the ledger with four wins in his championship campaign. That work earned him a ride in a Hyper house car for the prestigious Tulsa Shootout between Christmas and New Year. The initial plan for 2022 was not much different for the teenage racing sensation who lives in Lakeside, California. It included more lightning sprint car races with an eye on the possibility of moving up the racing ladder if an opportunity presented itself. Over the last two months, an opportunity indeed presented itself and it picked up momentum like a snowball turning into an avalanche. From not having any full-size sprint car equipment two months ago, SGR now proudly owns two chassis,' 410 and 360 engines, and a boatload of spares. When the young driver hits the track on Saturday, he will be driving an Ellis Chassis powered by a Johnny Motorhead 360 engine. While it will be his first appearance with USAC/CRA, Sexton made his full-size sprint car debut in the same car on April 16th. In storybook fashion, he won the main event that night at the Ventura Raceway. Prior to that evening, they took the car to Perris Auto Speedway for a shakedown practice. Likewise, they did so earlier this week in preparation for this week's race. Besides his win at Ventura in his full-size sprint car, Sexton has kept busy this season in lightning sprints. He stole the show at the March 25th California Lightning Sprint Car Series race at the Bakersfield Speedway. Battling from behind all race long, he braved an unforgiving cushion to chase down the race-long leader and pass him for the win less than two feet from the finish line. Four weeks ago tonight, he bested the field to win the Lucas Oil POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint main event at the Barona Speedway. Spectator gates for Sextons USAC debut will open at 5:00 p.m. with racing 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 5 and under are admitted free. The fairgrounds charges $10.00 for parking. There will be plenty of tickets available at the track on Saturday, this event will not sell out. For those who wish to purchase advance tickets, they are available at https://www.tix.com/ticket-sales/pas/7 or by calling 1-800-595-4849. The track website is http://www.perrisautospeedway.com/ and the office phone number is (951) 940-0134. Perris Auto Speedway is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds at 18700 Lake Perris Drive in Perris (92571). Sexton/Gatlin Racing would like to thank the following companies for making the 2022 season possible. Sexton Fire Protection, BK Wings, Johnny Motorhead, Troy Dirt, Victory Graphix, Swift Powdercoat, Maxima Oil, and an extra special thanks to Scotty and Jimmy Keys.

  EDDIE TAFOYA JR. READY FOR SALUTE TO INDY AT PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY

  (Chino Hills, CA, May 26, 2022) When the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series rolls back into its home track, Perris Auto Speedway, this Saturday for the "Salute to Indy," Eddie Tafoya Jr. will have fond and not so fond memories of last year's edition of the race. The fond memory is of running second and pulling away from the third-place driver in the main event. The not so fond memory is running out of fuel with less than five laps to go. PAS 3-26-22=51t=0614-3.jpg Eddie Tafoya Jr. at Perris Auto Speedway. Doug Allen photo. Going into last year's edition of the celebrated race, Tafoya was coming off a fourth-place finish at Perris a month earlier. Sporting new, eye-catching graphics on the #51T, he qualified 10th fastest and started fourth in his heat race. He was body-checked off his line on lap one of the heat and knocked back to sixth. He did gain one spot to fifth, but that was one position shy of the transfer spot to the feature and he was forced into the 12-lap B main. Tafoya dominated that race and won by a wide margin to earn a ticket into the prestigious "Salute to Indy" main event. For the main, the Chino Hills, California resident started in 10th. In a race that can best be described as chaotic, Tafoya managed to steer clear of all the drama and late in the going, found himself in second. He had pulled away from the third place driver and seemed destined for his best-ever finish up to that time. However, with under four laps to go, he ran out of fuel and ended up placing 18th. This year's version of the "Salute to Indy" sees Tafoya enter the night fifth in the series championship standings and he is knocking on the door of fourth. He has racked up two podium finishes (a second at Cocopah and a third at Mohave Valley) and comes into the night after a best-ever Bakersfield Speedway finish of fifth two weeks ago. In two outings at Perris this year, his best finish was an eighth on April 30th. The "Salute to Indy" was born in 1948 to honor the Indianapolis 500. This year's running will be the 71st edition of the race and the 26th time the race has been held at Perris. It will be the third time Tafoya has participated in the event. In addition to his heartbreaking finish in 2021, he placed 21st in his first crack at the race during his Rookie of the Year season in 2019. The #51T team gets a week off before heading to the smallest track on the USAC/CRA circuit, the Ventura Raceway, on June 11th. They will then return to Perris on June 25th for the "Bubby Jones/Ray Scheetz Memorial." Tafoya and the crew will be available to meet the fans at intermission during the autograph session and candy giveaway on Saturday or in the pits after the races. The great-looking Eddie Tafoya shirts will be available both times. Adult tickets for Saturday's race are $30.00. Seniors 65 and over get in for $25.00. For kids 6 to 12 it is just $5.00 and children 5 and under are admitted free. The fairgrounds charges $10.00 for parking. There will be plenty of tickets available at the track on Saturday, this event will not sell out.

The track website is http://www.perrisautospeedway.com/ and the office phone number is (951) 940-0134. Tafoya and the #51T team would like to thank Specialty Fasteners, DRC Chassis, Ryder Racing Engines, Simpson Safety Products, Bell, Benic Enterprises, BR Motorsports, PSC Powder Coating, Magik Graphics, Gasper Transportation, Owen's Insurance Services, and Weld Wheels for making the 2022 season possible.

  ROA DEFENDS THE SALUTE TO INDY TITLE SATURDAY AT PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY

  For Immediate Release (Cypress, CA, May 25, 2022) After a month off, Brody Roa returns to racing to defend his title in the "Salute to Indy," this Saturday night, May 28th, at Perris Auto Speedway. Saturday's show will feature the 71st edition of the race that started in 1948 to salute the Indianapolis 500. In last year's edition, Roa pulled off one of the most exciting wins in track history. PAS 5-22-21=91r Win=1674-3.jpg Brody Roa takes a swig of bottled chocolate milk after winning last year's "Salute to Indy." Doug Allen photo. Due to the longevity of the race and the names of some of the famous drivers who have won the "Salute to Indy" in the past, last year's victory was one of the biggest of Roa's career. Not only for it being the "Salute to Indy," but also in the way that he won it. After a nothing to get excited about seventh-fastest qualifying time, he got things headed in the right direction when he won his 10 lap heat race by three-quarters of a straightaway. Below is last year's account of what happened next in the exciting main event. For what turned out to be one of the wildest and most dramatic main events in the track's 25-year history, Roa began the race on the inside of the third row. By the end of the third lap, the affable racer had passed three cars and was up to fourth. He remained fourth until disaster struck, in turn, four on the eighth circuit. He missed his mark going into the corner, got tapped from behind, and slid to a stop. Roa had to restart at the back of the 22-car field with 22-laps to go. Chances were, he would not get back to the top five, and winning to most sane people was out of the question. However, he surprised a majority of the grandstands by coming from last to third two weeks prior at Bakersfield. So, nothing was out of the question. Once the green light came back on, Roa went to work. In the first two laps, he passed five cars. Three laps later he was already back to 15th and when the race reached the halfway point, he had advanced 12-spots and was in 10th. The streaking green #91R continued its push forward and by the start of the 23rd go around, he was in seventh and challenging for sixth. However, time was running out fast. Suddenly, the opportunities changed in a flash when the lead car tangled with a lapper heading into turn three. In the ensuing chaos, seven cars got tangled up including five of the top six. When the mayhem began happening, Roa headed for the inside and stayed completely out of the mess. And that meant he was going to be second on the restart. On the first lap back under green, more action occurred when Roa and the leader tangled in the fourth turn. The result saw Roa continue with his competitor tagging the wall and ending up out of the race. That put Roa, the 2019 USAC Southwest Series champion, into the lead for what turned out to be the final restart. He dominated the final eight laps and powered to the win with a half straightaway to spare. "We won the Salute to Indy," a grinning Roa told the big crowd after the race. "This thing was good enough where I could pound the cushion just outside the rubber and get a run on everybody coming off the corner." ****************************************************************** Back to the present, Saturday's race will be the third for Roa at the famous Riverside County half-mile clay Oval in 2022. In March on the track that is in the shadows of the Lake Perris Dam, the veteran Garden Grove, California driver made his first-ever World of Outlaws main event. Four weeks ago, he returned to Perris to compete in the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series. It was his first non-wing race at the track since last November and he finished sixth in the 30-lap main event. Despite not competing full time in the USAC/CRA Series in 2022 and only being in four of the first nine races, Roa comes into Saturday's race 16th in points. In his four starts, he has one fourth-place finish, a fifth, and two sixths. Adult tickets for Saturday's race are $30.00. Seniors 65 and over get in for $25.00. For kids 6 to 12 it is just $5.00 and children 5 and under are admitted free. The fairgrounds charges $10.00 for parking. There will be plenty of tickets available at the track on Saturday, this event will not sell out. Perris Auto Speedway is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds at 18700 Lake Perris Drive in Perris (92571).

The track website is http://www.perrisautospeedway.com/ and the office phone number is (951) 940-0134. Just beyond the horizon, Roa and the BR Performance crew are looking forward to coming back to Indiana for the annual "Indiana Sprint Week" from July 22nd through the 30th. The team has a couple of fresh cars and a couple of fresh engines for the journey and it is seeking some marketing sponsors for the trip. If you or your company would like to join up with this well-marketed friendly team, email Roa at mailto:brodyroa91@gmail.com. You can also call or text at 714-932-7994.

He will also drive the #8M for May Motorsports in select USAC West Coast events. The 2019 USAC Southwest and 2017 USAC West Coast champion is always open to discussing other driving opportunities. Roa and the team want to thank the following sponsors for making the 2022 season possible. HD Industries, Burris Racing, Sander Engineering, Inland Rigging, Caltrol, "Biker" Bruce Fischer, Competition Suspension, ALR Virtual Services, K-1 Race Gear, Molecule, Rod End Supply, Driven Racing Oil, Baldwin Filters, and NGK Spark Plugs. In addition, the veteran driver offers thanks to RDM Mechanics, Fastenal, Coopers Propane, Ten West Towing, Ten West Environmental, TJM Distribution, and Westco International for sponsoring the #8M he will pilot for Jayson May on 10 occasions in 2022.

  CHIARAMONTE RECORDS SECOND USAC MIDGET TOP 10 FINISH

  (El Cajon, CA, May 25, 2022) They say looks can be deceiving. If you do not believe that, take a gander at Braden Chiaramonte the next time he comes to a race at a track near you. Last Saturday at the Ventura Raceway, the 15-year-old made his second appearance in a midget in the USAC Western Midget Series and he placed seventh in the main event. Thus far, his performances in the #1 midget series west of the Mississippi make it hard to believe that he has only raced a midget two times. For Chiaramonte, who lives in El Cajon, California, Saturday's race came five weeks after he first steered Matt Streeter's black #14JR with the USAC Western Midgets at the Bakersfield Speedway. On that occasion, he qualified ninth fastest of the 21 cars on hand, placed second in his heat, and came home ninth in the main event. Last week at Ventura he upped that performance! Twenty-four cars showed up for the series' sixth race of the year. When qualifying was done, Chiaramonte caught everyone's attention with a time of 12.486. That was the third-best lap of the cars on hand. In his heat race, Chiaramonte started and finished sixth. In the main, he once again squared off against a field of veterans. He started the 30-lapper in ninth and advanced forward to seventh. That gave him two top-10 finishes in the first two midget races of his career. So far this year, Chiaramonte has contested 11 races, in four different types of cars with five different organizations. He has raced on six different tracks, four of which he had never seen before. He has qualified for 10 A-mains, has one victory, and eight top 10 finishes. When thinking of his age, the level of the competition, variety of cars & organizations, and new tracks, his finishing average of 7.3 is quite amazing. Chiaramonte will take the Memorial Day weekend away from the track. After an impressive showing in Indiana two weeks ago, he is headed back to US 24 Raceway to kick off the month of June in "The Big Dance" on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. He will once again be wheeling the same #95B Hyper house car in the Hoosier State. Two weeks later on June 18th, he will head to the Merced Speedway for the next round of the USAC Western Midget Series in Streeter's #14JR Midget. If you are looking to enter the world of lightning sprint car racing, Chiaramonte's #73 car is for sale. It is the same car that he drove to the 2021 "Minn-Kota Shootout" championship, 2021 POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series "Rookie of the Year," 2nd in the 2021 SWLS point standings and SWLS main event wins in 2021 and 2022. To get all of the details, call Daniel Chiaramonte at (619) 988-7563 or send an email to mailto:dchiaramonte@rtltraffic.com. Chiaramonte would like to thank the following marketing partners for making his 2022 racing season possible. RTL Traffic Control and Equipment Rentals, AM Ortega, Impact Racing, and AIM Sports Data.

  ERIC GRECO SWEEPS CALIFORNIA LIGHTNING SPRINTS AT VENTURA

  (Torrance, CA, May 24, 2022) After missing the last series race, Eric Greco dominated the competition and swept the show last Saturday when the California Lightning Sprint Car Series visited Jim Naylor's Ventura Raceway. In posting the win in the shortened 20-lap main, the Palmdale-based driver became the sixth different winner in the series' first seven races in 2022. 281456142_3109676305950364_6068251977052836032_n (1).jpg Eric Greco swept the California Lightning Sprint Car Series show last week at Ventura. CLS photo.l Greco began his reign of terror over the competition when he turned in a lap of 12.504 in West Evans Motorsports Time Trials. Five-time series champion Bobby Michnowicz of Oak Hills turned in a duplicate lap, but Greco had a quicker second lap than Michnowicz so he got the nod. 2021 CLS champion David Gasper of Santa Barbara was third fastest at 12.255. Greco captured Extreme Mufflers Heat Race #1 in a photo finish over San Diego's Kevin Bates. Point leader Cody Nigh of Camarillo was third. The first heat was not without extra excitement. As the pack raced into turn three on the first circuit, Gasper clipped the right rear tire of Torrance's "Rockstar" Jon Robertson. Gasper went for a wild ride that saw him flip two times, tearing the wing off the car and ending with a thud against the wall. The driver was unhurt and got back in and drove the car back to the pits, but the crew had some extra work to do to get it ready for the main event. In Yoshimura R&D Heat Race #2, three-time series champion Jarrett Kramer of Spring Valley spanked the field and won by over a full straightaway over his teammate Michnowicz. Yucca Valley's Jeff "Ponch" Dyer, who came into the night second in points, placed third. For the main event, the super team, of Kramer and Michnowicz, was on the front row. Robertson and Greco sat in row two. Dyer, who entered the main with three straight second-place finishes, and Nigh were in row three. When Kris Kornder waved the green flag to start the 25-lapper, Michnowicz raced around Kramer as they exited turn two for the lead. Greco, Dyer, and Nigh were giving chase. By the time the field completed four laps, Michnowicz had expanded his advantage to nearly a half straight. However, a yellow slowed the action on lap five when Ojai's Gage Cheek, rookie Connor Speir of Fillmore, and C.J. Marin all came to a stop in turn two. The top five for the restart were the same as they were at the start of the race. However, that was about to change. When the green lights flashed on, Michnowicz took off again. As he exited turn two, his left rear wheel came off. He slid sideways in the middle of the straightaway leaving teammate Kramer with nowhere to go. Kramer slammed into Michnowicz's crippled car and flipped. Robertson then slid sideways into Michnowicz's car. The red flag flew and the rescue crew rushed to the scene. All drivers were okay, but the crash knocked Kramer and Michnowicz out of the race. Robertson restarted at the back. As the show was creeping up on the local curfew and there was still a USAC West Coast Sprint Car main, officials shortened the race to 20-laps. The lineup for the restart saw Greco at the point with Dyer, Nigh, Gasper and Bates rounding out the top five. As Greco inched away from the field, Dyer and Nigh got into a tremendous battle for second that raged for three laps. In the end, Dyer fended off his pursuer and re-focused on Greco. When the race reached its new halfway point at the end of lap 10, Greco, in the pretty blue Janssen's/dirtisgone.com/The Educator/Walker Performance Filtration/Ralph & Sonja Greco/Henchcraft/Kawasaki #8, had an eight-car length advantage over second-place Dyer. That lead diminished in a hurry when Greco clipped the cushion in turn four on the 13th lap and biked the car. That allowed Dyer to close in dramatically. On lap 15, Greco came up on a lapped car and was briefly held up. Dyer, who like Greco was looking for his first win of the year, nearly pulled alongside. Greco got past the slower car and maintained his lead. Two laps later the shoe was on the other foot when a different lapped car slowed Dyer's progress. That essentially sealed the victory for Greco who stretched his lead out all the way to the checkered flag. Dyer ended up second, Gasper was third with Nigh and Bates taking fourth and fifth. "The car was so good all night," Greco said when interviewed in his car after the race. "The last race when we were here, we struggled really bad. We kind of did not change anything. I just reset myself. That was probably the most fun track we have had here for sure. I could just stick this car anywhere." After repairs to his blue #18 following his heat race flip, Gasper received the SpeedMart/Advance Racing Suspension "Hard Charger Awards" after going from 10th to third in the main. Michnowicz received the Speed Mart "Hard Luck Award." The current point standings show Nigh on top of the heap. He has a 68-point advantage over Dyer. Dyer, third-place Gasper, and Greco are separated by a mere 16-points in the battle for second. Rookie Will Browne of Glendora is fifth. This year the CLS will allow each team to have one throwaway race during the season. The throwaway race will be from a night when a driver did not compete or a night when a driver scores his lowest amount of points on the year. Dyer leads that version of the standings over Greco, Gasper, Nigh, and Browne. The CLS takes the next two weeks off before returning to action when it visits the Bakersfield Speedway for the fourth time in 2022 on June 11th.

  JEFF DYER GETS ANOTHER CLS SECOND-PLACE FINISH AT BAKERSFIELD

  (Yucca Valley, CA, May 20, 2022) Jeff Dyer continued his pursuit of the 2022 California Lightning Sprint Car Series championship with his third straight second-place finish at the Bakersfield Speedway last Saturday night. In addition to the CLS side of the program, Dyer also raced his 410 sprint car and finished 14th in the companion USAC/CRA main event. 280524714_3104555146462480_1116574500896404848_n.jpg Jeff Dyer and his wife Christina before last Saturday's race at Bakersfield. Saturday's race was Dyer's fifth of the year in the CLS and his performances have been phenomenal. In addition to his three second-place finishes, he also has a third and a fourth. Dyer came out of Saturday's race 79-points out of first in the championship standings. However, he has missed one race while the point leader has not. As the CLS has a one-race throw-away rule in 2022. Dyer's throw-out race will be the one he missed. At the beginning of the night, Dyer recorded the fastest time in West Evans Motorsports CLS qualifying with a lap of 12.908. Not only was that faster than all the CLS cars, but it was also faster than all the 410 USAC/CRA Sprint Cars as well. Dyer followed the qualifying effort in his familiar #4 with a third-place finish in his heat. For the main, the retired United States Army Demolitions Expert started fifth. He quickly advanced to third. On lap eight, the second-place car got caught in lapped traffic. Veteran Dyer took full advantage of the situation, raced by, and set his sights on the leader. The distance between the leader and Dyer quickly dwindled. Suddenly, Dyer was within striking distance, and he tried to knife his way inside in turn one on the 10th lap. The leader thwarted the effort and pulled away. At that point, most in the crowd thought the race for the lead was over. Dyer, who recently turned 40, had other ideas. The pacesetter got caught behind lapped traffic on the 14th go around. As soon as he did, Dyer was camping on his tail tank. He tried to pass for the lead on the inside in turn one, but once again, the leader held him at bay before motoring away. That was not going to be the end of the story. As the laps dwindled down, Dyer seemingly was not going to catch the first-place driver. However, with two laps to go, he was coming on like a runaway freight train. Just as he was about to mount another challenge, a lapped car drifted into Dyer's path forcing him to slow down. With only two laps to go, it was too late for Dyer to rebuild his momentum and he took another second place. Dyer moved forward more than any other driver in the main event and was the Speed Mart/Advanced Racing Suspension "Hard Charger." When the 25-lap CLS race ended, Dyer returned to his pit and jumped into his 410 USAC/CRA Sprint Car. The veteran driver started 19th in a race that was plagued with multiple yellows and one red flag. With chaos all around him, the Yucca Valley, California resident stayed out of the trouble and came home 14th. This Saturday, Dyer will continue his pursuit of the CLS title when the series makes a stop at the Ventura Raceway. For fans who would like to attend Saturday's show, adult tickets are $22.00. Seniors 60 and over, military with id, and students with id get in for $18.00. Kids 12 and under are free when accompanied by an adult.

The website is http://venturaraceway.com/ and the office phone number is (805) 648-RACE. On May 28th, he will jump back into his USAC/CRA 410 sprint car for the annual Salute to Indy at Perris Auto Speedway. As usual, Dyer is not the only member of the family who will be competing this Saturday. His son Seth will be racing at Wheel2Wheel Raceway in Victorville, where he is fifth in the restrictor class championship standings. Last Saturday night, the teen finished fifth in the main event.

  SEXTON GATLIN RACING SWEEPS THE PODIUM AT BARONA

  (Lakeside, CA, May 18, 2022) Sexton Gatlin Racing made a shambles of the proceedings by sweeping the podium when the Lucas Oil Southwest Lightning Series visited Barona Speedway last Saturday night. Dalton Sexton returned to victory lane for the second time in 2022 and he was followed home by teammates David Bezio and Brent Sexton. 281830025_10222373774435009_4425940720326648923_n.jpg Dalton Sexton on his way to the wingless main event win at Barona. Missy Benker photo. Missing from the squad on Saturday night was 2021 SWLS champion Grant Sexton. The 17-year-old took the night off to attend his high school prom. When his seat became open, Bezio gladly stepped in for his young friend. The domination of the Lakeside, California team began in the heat races. Dalton was on the pole and captured the first heat. Heat two saw Brent off the pole with Bezio alongside. Showing no respect for the boss, Bezio was the first to the checkered flag with Brent in the runner-up spot. For the 20-lap main event, Dalton was starting on the inside of the third row in his Sexton Fire Protection/BK Wings/Troy Dirt/Victory Graphix/Swift Powdercoat/Maxima Oil/Infiniti Shocks/Scotty and Jimmy Keys #18. Bezio was starting next to him in fourth with Brent in fifth. Dalton immediately drove into second as soon as the race started. Bezio and Brent settled into fourth and fifth. Dalton became embroiled in a war for the lead that raged on for several laps before he secured the spot. Once out front, he was unchallenged the rest of the way. Bezio and Brent had to work harder for their top-three finishes. They were still fourth and fifth before Bezio picked off two cars just past the halfway point to take over second. Brent was still mired in fifth when the fourth-place driver tapped the car in third and sent it spinning. With nowhere to go, Brent slid to a stop. It looked like he and the car that was hit would have to go to the back. However, track officials penalized the car that started the incident and sent it to the rear. Brent and the other car involved were allowed to restart and move up one spot from where they were (due to the offending car being sent to the back). That put Brent in fourth. The race restarted with a handful of laps to go, and Dalton ran away from the pack once again and picked up his first win since March 4th at Imperial Valley. Bezio placed second for the second time in 2022. Brent fought his way into third as time was running out giving SGR the top-three sweep. Dalton's win propelled him back into the point going into the June 8th race at Barona. Brent is second, only 21-points behind his firstborn. Bezio is third, 34-points behind Dalton. Grant is eighth. SGR was initially headed to Missouri next week for the POWRi Lightning Sprint Nationals. However, with the price of fuel through the roof, they have decided to skip that trip. Instead, they are attempting to get Grant's 360 sprint car ready for a debut with the USAC/CRA Sprint Cars in the historical "Salute To Indy" at Perris Auto Speedway. Sexton/Gatlin Racing would like to thank the following companies for making the 2022 season possible.

  CHIARAMONTE MAKES TWO INDIANA MAINS - USAC MIDGETS THIS SATURDAY

  (El Cajon, CA, May 18, 2022) Braden Chiaramonte made his first-ever appearance at Indiana's US 24 Speedway an impressive one by qualifying for two of the three main events in the "All In Transportation A Wingless Clash" micro race last weekend. This Saturday night, May 21st, he will be wheeling Matt Streeter's USAC Midget in his Ventura Raceway debut. The journey to Indiana included great racing and heavy rain. Most of all, it pitted Chiaramonte against more than 90 top drivers from 11 different states and Australia. Driving a Hyper house car, the 15-year-old started second in his 10-lap heat race on opening night. However, when the pole sitter jumped the start, the front row was penalized back to row two and Chiaramonte would be coming from fourth instead of second. He advanced one spot during the brief race to finish third. In his 20-lap qualifier, he started on the outside of row four and advanced the Hyper Racing #95 four spots to finish fourth and earn one of the positions in the 30-lap A main. He started 17th on the inside of the ninth row, and once again he moved forward passing four cars to finish 13th. Of the 94-cars that showed up for the Thursday night opener, only 22 earned one of the coveted main event spots. One of those drivers was Chiaramonte. Twenty-four hours later, Chiaramonte showed up to battle again. Ninety cars were on hand for the Friday show, and all were aiming to get a hard-to-come by starting spot in the main event. For the second night in a row, Chiaramonte, in the bright orange and gray Hyper Racing #95, was in the eighth, 10-lap heat race. He began the race in the second spot and ended up finishing third. In his 20-lap qualifier, he started fourth and maintained that position throughout. He claimed one of the main event spots for the second night in a row. After starting 20th in the 30-lapper, he again passed four cars to finished 16th. When all was said and done after two nights, 91 drivers had a chance to start both main events. Chiaramonte was one of only eight to do it! After heavy rain threatened Saturday's program, the track crew did an amazing job getting the surface in shape and the cars rolled out for the finale. Chiaramonte was in the first heat where he started sixth and moved forward to finish third. In his 20-lap qualifier, he began in third and finished fifth. That placed Chiaramonte in the Last Chance Qualifier. For the LCQ, he was starting in fourth and he needed to finish there or better to get into the final main event. It would be a tall order, but if anyone was up to it, it would be the teen who has the cool composure of a 20-year-veteran. Things got complicated before the LCQ started! When Chiaramonte pulled onto the track the bolt on his shifter broke. So, for restarts, he had to reach out and pull the shift rod by hand. He started 12th and worked his way up to and finished fifth. On the passing points for the week, he fell one point shy of the transfer. However, when he was pulling off the track after the LCQ, he noticed that one of the cars did not go to the scales. Thus, Chiaramonte gained a point and was tied for the final position in the main. Rules determined Thursday's highest finisher of the tied cars would get the nod. Chiaramonte was 13th and the other car was 11th. Unfortunately, his first racing adventure at US 24 was over. While in Indiana, Chiaramonte did well and got a lot of attention over the three days. He was impressive enough to get invited to go back to the same track for the three-day "Big Dance" on June 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. Chiaramonte and his family want to send a big thank you to Hyper Racing's Jim Radney for making the weekend possible. Chiaramonte will be right back in action this Saturday night when he makes his second start in Matt Streeter's #14JR USAC Western States midget at the Ventura Raceway. Last month when he made his midget debut in Streeter's car at Bakersfield, Chiaramonte surprised everyone at the track. He qualified ninth fastest in the 21-car field, led most of his heat race before finishing second, and ended up 10th in the main.

  YOSHIMURA R&D JOINS CALIFORNIA LIGHTNING SPRINT SERIES

  (Torrance, CA, May 17, 2022) California Lightning Sprint Car Series president Jon Robertson is pleased to announce that Yoshimura R&D has signed on to be an associate sponsor for the series in 2022. The famous company has been building quality racing products for over half a century. 280311852_5489827904394824_3133748023766213981_n.jpg A.J. Bender's winning Yoshimura-powered California Lightning Series Sprint Car. Last week's CLS race at the Bakersfield Speedway was the first for Yoshimura as a marketing partner with the CLS. Ironically, San Diego, California's A.J. Bender won the main event in the Mike Schweitzer owned, Yoshimura powered #41. It was his third win (two with the CLS and one with BCRA in Northern California) in four starts in 2022. "California Lightning Sprints is proud to welcome Yoshimura R&D as an associate sponsor for the 2022 season," Robertson said. "This is exciting news! Yoshimura R&D brings world-class engine-building expertise to the club and is based right here in Southern California." Located 30-miles east of Los Angeles in Chino, Yoshimura is a reasonable drive time for nearly all the teams currently competing in the CLS. The friendly company offers packages and services to match the customer's horsepower needs and budgets. They will be happy to rebuild a racer's current engine or start with a fresh crate engine from Japan. "We do not simply throw in a big cam, bump up the compression, and create a time bomb - We build power at self-sustaining, balanced levels, because all the power in the world means nothing if you can't finish." "From personal experience, I've found the folks at Yoshimura to be knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely nice people," said Robertson who has a Yoshimura powerplant in his #42. "I look forward to the California Lightning Sprints representing Yoshimura R&D at all our events this year. Our very own AJ Bender has already won two main events this season with a Yoshimura R&D built motor, and we look forward to expanding this success within the club this year. I am now personally running their motors as well and I believe others are on the way."

  BENDER WINS LIGHTNING SPRINT MAIN AND DONATES ENTIRE PURSE

  (Torrance, CA, May 16, 2022) San Diego's A.J. Bender made it two wins in three races in the California Lightning Sprint Car Series at the Bakersfield Speedway last Saturday night. On Monday, after reading that Lemoore Jet Bowl Raceway's favorite flag man Micah Smith was recently diagnosed with cancer, the classy team donated its entire purse to help his family with expenses. 281468739_5488389217871304_6933729375676488188_n.jpg A.J. Bender's winning steed after the CLS main event last Saturday at the Bakersfield Speedway. When Bender and team owner Mike Schweitzer pull into the pits for a CLS race, the competitors must take a big gulp and sigh. This year, they have won two of the first three CLS races at Bakersfield. Last season, despite running a limited schedule due to having a regular ride in the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series, Bender tied for the series lead in victories with four. Conspicuous by his absence on Saturday was point leader Eric Greco of Palmdale. The young driver was feeling under the weather and was unable to make the show. While Greco was absent, a pleasant surprise to see in the pit area was two-time series champion Jarrett Kramer of Spring Valley. Driving a car owned by fellow champion Bobby Michnowicz, Kramer was making his first CLS start since his second series title in 2019. Yucca Valley's Jeff Dyer, who has gotten off to a great start in 2022 with two second-place finishes, a third, and a fourth in his first four races, picked up the West Evans Motorsports Fast Time Award with a lap of 12.805. Camarillo's Cody Nigh was second fastest at 12.946 and Bender was third at 13.029. In a battle of the champions, 2021 titlist David Gasper of Santa Barbara beat Kramer in the Extreme Mufflers Heat Race #1. Dyer placed third. In CSI Shocks Heat Race #2, Michnowicz, who calls Oak Hills home, crossed the line first with Nigh and series leading rookie Will Browne of Glendora third. Ironically, the two heat race winners each broke before the main events at the first two races at Bakersfield this year. For the 25-lap main event, Browne was on the pole and Michnowicz was slated to start alongside. However, the 5-time champ's water pump gave up the ghost and he was unable to start. That moved Nigh to the outside of row one. Bender manned the inside of the second row and was joined by Kramer. Row three featured Dyer and rookie Connor Speir of Fillmore. Browne raced into the lead at the drop of the green flag at "The West's Fastest 1/3 Mile High Banked Clay Oval" and he proceeded to lead the first two circuits. Running on the bottom, Bender, in the Mike Schweitzer owned Abacas/BillMell.com Real Estate Services/Van's Logging/Watkins Construction/M&P Environmental/Oil Well Service/Elite Signs/Yoshimura #41B, stalked the newcomer from the outset. Running the outside, Brown left the bottom wide open and Bender breezed by for the lead coming off the second corner on lap three. Browne stayed in the second-place spot until the eighth circuit when he got trapped behind a lapped car. That allowed Dyer, who came into the night with two straight second-place finishes, to pass for the runner-up position. In what became a recurring theme in the main event, Dyer chased down Bender for the lead. He tried to sneak by on the inside in turn 1 on the 10th lap. The leader was equal to the challenge and thwarted that effort. Moments later, Kramer dropped out of the race. By lap 13, Bender had constructed a decent size lead, but he could not rest on his laurels as Dyer was not about to give up. In fact, when Bender was briefly held up by lapped traffic on lap 14, Dyer came calling again. He tried the inside, but one more time, Bender fought off the challenge. Bender pulled away and by the 19th go around, he had established a half straightaway lead. It looked like he was going to sail the remainder of the way unchallenged. However, someone forgot to tell Dyer that. The retired United States Army Demolitions Expert refused to give up and mounted one last, serious challenge. He reeled the leader in for the third time and was about to make another attempt on lap 23. However, coming off turn four, a lap car impeded his progress and ended his victory hopes. Bender and Dyer, both of whom were also racing on the USAC/CRA portion of the program, took the checkers in first and second. Nigh, who was closing on Dyer over the last five laps, took third. Browne placed fourth and Gasper was fifth. Dyer went from fifth to second in the 25-lapper and received the Speed Mart and Advanced Racing Suspensions "Hard Charger" awards. "I was a little nervous to go to the top because Dyer showed me his nose on the bottom," the affable winner told the crowd after the race. "I was planning on running the top, but this thing was so great on the bottom. I cannot thank the Schweitzer family enough. They make it easy for me (to jump back and forth between cars)." The CLS is headed back to the Ventura Raceway for the third time in 2022 this Saturday, May 21st. Nigh, who has been around the picturesque track since he was a toddler, comes home as the new point leader. He holds a 79-point lead over Dyer in the season-long point standings. Defending champion Gasper is up to third with Greco and Brown comprising the remainder of the top five For fans who would like to attend Saturday's show at Ventura, adult tickets are $22.00. Seniors 60 and over, military with id and students with id get in for $18.00. Kids 12 and under are free when accompanied by an adult.

  AFTER A 10TH AT PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY, WILLIAMS HEADS TO BAKERSFIELD

  (Hesperia, CA, May 12th, 2022) After recording his 5th top ten finish in five starts this year at Perris two weeks ago, Trent Williams is headed to the "California Country Music Capital," Bakersfield, for a race this Saturday night, May 14th at the Bakersfield Speedway. The race will be the first of two on the track for the Apple Valley, CA resident in 2022. DSC_5217.jpg Trent Williams photo courtesy of Charles Fawcett. For Williams, Saturday's race will be his first on the track that is billed as "The West's Fastest 1/3 Mile High Banked Clay Oval." He heads into the USAC/CRA portion of the program, which will also include the California Lightning Sprints, NMRA ¾ Midgets, and Hobby Stocks, 15th in the championship standings. However, he is a mere nine points out of 13th and is only 33-points out of 10th. In his last outing at Perris, Williams finished in 10th. That broke a string of six straight ninth-place finishes dating back to 2021. The Cal State Fullerton graduate ran as high as eighth in that 30-lapper. For the entire race, he participated in a war with seven others that see-sawed back and forth much to the delight of the Perris crowd. After five races, the driver known as "T-DUB" has a main event finishing average of 9.20. After four races in the month of April, Williams and the other USAC/CRA stars have a more relaxed schedule in May and June. After this week's race in Bakersfield, Williams gets a week off before returning to Perris Auto Speedway for the prestigious "Salute To Indy." That race dates back to the 1940s. In June, Williams will get to race at one of his favorite tracks, the Ventura Raceway, on June 11th. The famous track is located adjacent to the beach on the historic Ventura County Fairgrounds, which first saw motorsports events 98-years ago. Two weeks after that, he returns to Perris for the inaugural "Bubby Jones/Ray Sheetz Memorial." If you want to catch Williams in action this Saturday, the Bakersfield Speedway is located at 5001 N. Chester Ext., in Bakersfield (93308). The track website is http://www.bakersfieldspeedway.com/ and the office phone number is (661) 393-3373. The pit gate will open at 2:00 p.m., spectator gates at 4:00, and racing will start at 6:00. Adult tickets are $20.00. Seniors and military get in for $18.00. For kids 6-12 it is $5.00 and children 5 and under are free. Williams would like to thank marketing partners Victory Boys Performance, Sorrento Homes, and JasonR.Photos for making it possible to race his Maxim Chassis/Shaver Engines #52V during the 2022 season. He also wants to send a special thanks to Russell and Jean Martin for the use of their truck and trailer to get the #52V to the track last week.

  FLOWDYNAMICS DRIVERS RACING AT THE BAKERSFIELD SPEEDWAY SATURDAY

  (Ontario, CA, May 12, 2022) The USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series returns to action this Saturday night, May 14th, for round #9 of the 2022 season at Scott Schweitzer's Bakersfield Speedway. It will be the first of two appearances for the Ontario, California-based Flowdynamics duo of Matt McCarthy and Logan Williams on the Kern County Oval in 2022. PAS 3-26-22=28m 5w=1085-3.jpg Flowdynamics teammates Matt McCarthy (#28) and Logan Williams will be at the Bakersfield Saturday. Doug Allen photo. The return to Bakersfield will also serve as an anniversary for Williams. The Yorba Linda, California driver made his first appearance in a Flowdynamics car at the track on May 8, 2021. Despite being out of the cockpit for a couple of years, Williams showed no track rust that night and placed seventh. Heading into this week's race, Williams, and teammate Matt McCarthy both have perfect attendance making all eight races thus far in 2022. They each hold top 10 spots in the season-long championship standings with Williams sixth and McCarthy ninth. Williams is a mere 16-points out of fifth. Riverside, California's McCarthy is 36-markers out of eighth place in the standings. The duo comes into this Saturday's race after getting a week off last week. In the last race at Perris Auto Speedway on April 30th, Williams placed 11th in the 30-lap main. McCarthy's night was filled with nothing but frustration as the team chased a problem that turned out to be a collapsed fuel line that resulted in him not turning in a single competitive lap. After the trip to Kern County on Saturday, the Flowdynamics team will return to Perris for the annual "Salute to Indy" on May 28th. That event will be followed by two races in June. The first will be at the Ventura Raceway on the 11th before returning to the series home track at Perris on the 25th. Fans who would like to attend Saturday's USAC/CRA race at Bakersfield can find the track at 5001 N. Chester Ext., in Bakersfield (93308). The track website is http://www.bakersfieldspeedway.com/ and the office phone number is (661) 393-3373. The pit gate will open at 2:00 p.m., spectator gates at 4:00, and racing will start at 6:00. Adult tickets are $20.00. Seniors and military get in for $18.00. For kids 6-12 it is $5.00 and children 5 and under are free. McCarthy and Williams would like to thank the following sponsors for making the 2021 season possible.

  BRODY ROA FINISHES SIXTH IN USAC/CRA RACE AT PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY

  (Cypress, CA, May 6, 2022) Brody Roa made his first 410 wingless sprint car start in more than three months when the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series visited Perris Auto Speedway for the "Sokola Shootout" last Saturday night. The veteran driver came home sixth in the 30-lap event after starting ninth. 279633570_8133968813287282_3744243935922175958_n.jpg Brody Roa at Perris Auto Speedway on April 30th. Photo courtesy of Bobby Kimbrough. Saturday's race was only Roa's second at Perris since last November. The other one was on March 26th when he donned a wing to compete with the World of Outlaws. After qualifying ninth in the 24-car field with a lap of 16.932, Roa started fourth and proceeded to score a convincing victory in his 10-lap heat. It was his second series heat race win in four races thus far in 2022. "I am a little out of breath, I forgot how hard the non-wing stuff is to drive," Roa joked when interviewed in front of the crowd after his heat race victory early in the night. "We made a couple of changes before the heat race. I think the wing stuff we have been doing the last couple of months is paying off a little bit. It has kind of slowed the non-wing stuff down and got our minds thinking in a different way. Hopefully, we can do that again (win) in the feature." For the main event on the beautiful spring night, Roa and his familiar green #91R started on the inside of row four. The 31-year-old driver started making forward progress just before the halfway point in the race and was up to seventh on lap 13. Three laps later he clawed his way another spot forward to sixth. He hit the top five on the 20th circuit before slipping back to sixth on lap 26. That is where he stayed until the checkers. For finishing sixth, Roa collected the "Shawn McDonald Sixth Place Award" in memory of the "World's #1 Sprint Car Fan," Even though it was only the fourth appearance in the eight races the series has run in 2022, Roa is currently 14th in the championship point standings. Counting two starts in the ASCA/CAS 360 Series earlier this year in Arizona, he has contested six non-wing races in 2022. Thus far, he has a second-place finish, one fourth, a pair of fifth-place results, and two sixth-place endings. The busy Garden Grove, California-based racer is taking the next three weeks off before returning to the cockpit to defend his title at the "Salute to Indy" at Perris on May 28th. The team is currently exploring the possibilities of adding some marketing partners for July's trip to the Midwest for "Indiana Sprint Week." If interested in joining forces with the longtime West Coast team for the "Toughest Week in Sprint Car Racing," contact Roa at the information provided within this release. Brody Roa merchandise is available online. You can see it all in his store which is packed with great items including t-shirts, sweatshirts, caps, beanies, baby onesies, plush blankets, jigsaw puzzles, stickers, notebooks, tote bags, wine tumblers, mugs, bandana pet collars, and more. To check it out, please visit the following website https://www.brodyroa.com/shop/. In 2022, Roa will race USAC/CRA, USAC National, and other select events, in his #91R BR Performance/HD Industries Eagle. He will also drive the #8M for May Motorsports in select USAC West Coast events. The 2019 USAC Southwest and 2017 USAC West Coast champion is always open to discussing other driving opportunities. Roa and the team want to thank the following sponsors for making the 2022 season possible. HD Industries, Burris Racing, Sander Engineering, Inland Rigging, Caltrol, "Biker" Bruce Fischer, Competition Suspension, ALR Virtual Services, K-1 Race Gear, Molecule, Rod End Supply, Driven Racing Oil, Baldwin Filters, and NGK Spark Plugs. In addition, the veteran driver offers thanks to RDM Mechanics, Fastenal, Coopers Propane, Ten West Towing, Ten West Environmental, TJM Distribution, and Westco International for sponsoring the #8M he will pilot for Jayson May on 10 occasions in 2022.

  GASPER AND MICHNOWICZ SPLIT CLS WINS AT VENTURA

  (Torrance, CA, May 3, 2022) Youth was served when the California Lightning Sprint Car Series visited Jim Naylor's Ventura Raceway last Saturday and teenager David Gasper captured one of the two 25 lap main events on the night. In addition to youth, experience was served as well when quinquagenarian Bobby Michnowicz captured the other 25-lapper. The two main events were necessitated when qualifying and the heats were completed on March 16th. However, rain intervened and caused postponement of the main event. Thus, the first order of business after qualifying on Saturday was the makeup race. The start of the makeup main event saw Santa Barbara's Gasper on the inside of the front row with J.D. Bentley from Rubottom, Oklahoma on the outside. Palmdale's Eric Greco and Dominic Del Monte, two youngsters who are considered veterans in the CLS, comprised row two. The third row featured Camarillo's Cody Nigh and his uncle, five-time series champion Bobby Michnowicz of Oak Hills. As the field was coming around to take the initial green flag, series-leading rookie Will Browne of Glendora slowed and came to a stop in turn three. That was just about the time the remainder of the field was hitting the throttle pedal for the start of the race. The green did not come out, but several cars got together as they entered turn one. Nigh ended up on his side and a red flag came out before the green had ever waved. Officials pushed Nigh's pretty #45 back on all fours and he was ready for the restart. With a bent nose wing, he had to restart at the back after being deemed the perpetrator of the red. Gasper got the jump in turn one and led over Bentley, Greco, Michnowicz, and Del Monte. The race got three laps in before Chino's Pat Kelley coasted to a stop in turn one bringing out a yellow flag. Once action resumed, wily veteran Michnowicz, went to the outside to pass Greco for second coming off turn two. That was the last pass amongst the top five for the duration of the race, but it was anything, but boring. Gasper and Bentley hit the lapped traffic on lap 13 and had no problem getting around the first two. However, from that point on, the lappers provided a headache for the top four. When he was stuck behind lapped cars, Greco almost took third from Michnowicz and Bentley almost did the same to Gasper. However, both of those offensive thwarts were repelled. When the checkers ended the race, it was 2021 series champion Gasper posting his second win in the first four races of the year. Bentley was only three car lengths behind the leader and was trailed by Michnowicz, Greco, and Del Monte. Michnowicz won the "Speed Mart" and "Advanced Racing Suspension Hard Charger" awards for the first main after starting fifth and finishing seventh. "It was a long wait (due to the rainout) knowing that we started on the pole," Gasper said after his second triumph of the year. "My guys gave me a good car and we got it done. The sun started getting in my eyes a little bit heading into three. I couldn't really see, but we made it work and we got it done. It was a long year (at Ventura in 2021). Our best finish was second. We struggled on set up here, but I think we figured it out for sure." 278980898_3093706604214001_9062148145225199213_n.jpg David Gasper after his win in the first main at Ventura on Saturday night. CLS Photo. For the regular portion of the program, Gasper was the "West Evans Motorsports Fastest Qualifier" with a time of 12.240. Bentley was second quick at 12.360. Impressive Browne recorded the third-best time with a lap of 12.436. Greco and Nigh, with times of 12.455 and 12.478 respectively, rounded out the top five. Del Monte took the "Extreme Mufflers First Heat Race" when he beat Gasper and Nigh to the checkers. Rancho Cucamonga's Brent Owens topped the field in the "CSI Shocks Second Heat." Bentley and Michnowicz placed second and third. For the second 25-lap main event of the night, Nigh and Michnowicz were once again paired on the front row. Greco and Bentley lined up behind them in row two with Gasper and Browne slated to go from row three. After completing and finishing fourth in his heat race, Browne again stopped on the pace lap for the main event. This time the talented new driver to the CLS was done for the night. Michnowicz was the first to turn one and the first across the line at the end of the opening circuit. Bentley, Del Monte, Greco, and Gasper were in tow. Gasper split Greco and Del Monte and when the second lap was completed, he was third. Michnowicz and Bentley moved away from the remainder of the field and by the end of the fourth lap, they were on the rear end of the pack. That ended up being when Michnowicz faced his most serious challenge in the race. When he momentarily hesitated coming off two, Bentley drove to the outside and attempted to take the lead away. However, the lapped car was in his way and Michnowicz was able to maintain the lead and did not face another serious challenge. Besides the lap four interaction with traffic, the lapped cars were more cooperative than they were in the first race. When the sailing was clear, Michnowicz hugged the inside line, while Bentley ran a lane wider and stayed within four or five car lengths of the race-long leader through the first half of the event. The proceedings were halted for the second time on lap 16 when Del Monte slid to a stop on the back chute forcing a yellow. For the restart, Michnowicz and Bentley were joined in the top five by Gasper, Nigh, and Greco. On the initial try to go racing again, the yellow immediately came back on when Owens spun to the infield on the restart. On the next try, Michnowicz got a great restart, but Bentley did not. Gasper, who was trying to go two for two on the night, immediately went on the attack. He steered the brilliant blue #18 to the inside of Bentley in turn one. Coming off two, Bentley fought him off. Gasper tried again going into three, and Bentley fended him off one more time, got a good drive off four, and put some breathing room between himself and his pursuer. Bentley and Gasper's fight allowed Michnowicz to expand his lead. The wily veteran took full advantage over the last 10-laps, which went without a yellow. He put nearly a half straight between his T Shirts By Timeless/Pflum and Wagner/Fabozzi Metal Works/Super Shocks/Outlaw Wings/Simpson #21, and second place Bentley at the finish. Gasper ended up third with Nigh fourth and Greco fifth. Ojai's Gage Cheek, who was making his first start of the year, won the "Speed Mart" and "Advanced Racing Suspension Hard Charger" awards after starting 10th and finishing seventh. "We have had such bad luck," the happy winner said referring to his early-season woes. "Starting on the front row I was thinking, 'Just get the jump and go as fast as you can.' I was tired as we had already went 25 laps (in the first main). So, I ate a banana and drank some water. The track was great. Jim Naylor has changed the track a lot. He is going to massage it some more, but its really good. This is where I met my wife. We were 16 years old racin here. A lot of good memories and I love it here." 279085135_3093825910868737_6891230000475895813_n.jpg Five-time CLS champion Bobby Michnowicz got his first win the the year Saturday at Ventura. CLS Photo. Greco continues to add some points to his lead in the championship standings and now has a 24-point advantage over Nigh. Defending champion Gasper is third and 98-points behind the leader. Yucca Valley's Jeff Dyer is fourth. Michnowicz has finally broken into the top five for the first time this year and is fifth. The CLS gets one week off before returning to action with the USAC/CRA Sprint Cars at the Bakersfield Speedway on May 14th. West Evans Motorsports Qualifying: 1. Dave Gasper, 12.240; 2. J.D.
