- GRANT SEXTON MAKES HIS FIRST TURKEY NIGHT GRAND PRIX SPRINT CAR MAIN EVENT
(Lakeside, CA, November 28, 2023) For the first time in his young career, 19-year-old Grant Sexton qualified for the main event in the sprint car portion of the prestigious Turkey Night Grand Prix at the Ventura Raceway last Saturday night. The race closed the season for the young driver who captured the 2023 USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series Rookie of the Year award. Attached to this release is a Steve Lafond photo of Grant Sexton at the Turkey Night Grand Prix and the Sexton Gatlin Racing Team logo. Last week's race marked Sexton's second-ever attempt at Turkey Night. He made his debut in the long-running event in 2022. On that occasion, the then 18-year-old was fighting for one of the transfer spots in the B main when he became entangled in a couple of other driver's mess. That catastrophe knocked him out of the race. It was a bitter ending for the highly competitive teen. Last week, Sexton, who calls Lakeside, California home, was one of 52 entries in the sprint car division at the 82nd running of the historic motorsports event. Bent on making the main this year, he kicked off the two-night racing program in style when he scored a convincing run-away win in the first heat race of the weekend. At the checkers, he was nearly a full straightaway ahead of his closest challenger. After his heat race triumph, Sexton had a good chance of locking in one of the 10 spots for Saturday's A main event in his qualifier. Starting on the outside of row two in the 12-lap, 11-car race, he was forced wide in turn one on the opening lap. Subsequently, he slipped as far back as eighth. Never to be deterred, he got his elbows up and clawed his way forward all the way to fifth before the checkered flag halted the proceedings. Unfortunately, that was not enough to get him into the dash and he would have to run a B main on Saturday night. Sexton, who was the 2021 POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series champion, started on the pole in one of the 12-lap, 17-car B mains on Saturday. With a complete sellout crowd looking on, he steered his pretty #22 car into the lead at the drop of the green flag. The precocious racer led the first seven laps before relinquishing the top spot. From that point on, he stayed in second place and earned his ticket to his first Turkey Night Grand Prix main event. Starting 14th in the 30-lap finale, Sexton wisely bided his time early on. The youthful driver went outside and quickly became one of the best shows in the race. He picked off car after car and had worked his way up to fifth on the track with narrow straightaways. However, going into turn one late in the affair, he thought the bottom was taking rubber and he dove low in his immaculate #22. Unfortunately, it was still slick and he dropped back three positions. One lap later he stayed low and slipped backwards a few more spots. He was unable to regain those positions in the limited time remaining and took his final checkered flag of the 2023 season in 13th place. Grant will be back for his second full season in USAC/CRA while his father Brent will be trying to succeed him as Rookie of the Year. In addition, Brent will be doing some selected races in a lightning sprint.

- GRANT SEXTON FINISHES SEASON AT TURKEY NIGHT GRAND PRIX - BRENT SEXTON INJURED AT PLACERVILLE
(Lakeside, CA, November 23, 2023) USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series Rookie of the Year Grant Sexton will close his 2023 season this Friday and Saturday in the 82nd running of the Turkey Night Grand Prix at the Ventura Raceway. Unfortunately, the 19-year-old's father Brent saw his season come to a premature end when he was injured in a nasty flip at the Placerville Speedway last Friday night. Attached to this release is a Doug Allen photo of Grant Sextonand the Sexton Gatlin Racing team logo. Grant, who lives in Lakeside, California, will be making his second appearance in the popular Thanksgiving weekend event. His first effort in the holiday special came last season. In that endeavor, he finished third in his heat race and fifth in his qualifier on the first night. At the Saturday finale, the well-spoken teen, who finished eighth in USAC/CRA points this year, had to race in one of the 12-lap B mains. The 2021 POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series champion started fifth in the race and moved forward. However, it was a night where survival of the fittest was a big part of the show. Throughout the race, he maintained one of the transfer spots and seemed assured of qualifying for the finale. With a couple of laps left, two cars tangled directly in front of him in turn three. The young driver had nowhere to go and got snared into the incident ending his night. Brent's season came to a scary end in his heat race on the first night of the Hangtown 100 at Placerville last Friday. The track had been pounded by rain and it was a "Cowboy Up" surface that would bite numerous drivers throughout the night. Unfortunately, one of those drivers was Brent. He started on the pole in the second heat on the Lightning Sprint Car portion of the doubleheader show. The 50-year-old was the first to turn one, but when he got there, his car bicycled and then went into a series of violent flips. Much to the relief of the crowd on the cold night, he climbed out of the car under his own power. While he seemed uninjured, something was not right. Forty-eight hours after the crash he decided to visit the E.R. near his home. As it turned out, he broke two ribs and injured his shoulder and legs. Fortunately, the Placerville crash came three nights after Sexton, the 2022 POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series champion, sewed up second overall in the SWLS standings with a fourth-place finish at the Bakersfield Speedway. That finish also sewed up fourth for him in the six-race Best of the West Series that matched the SWLS vs the California Lightning Sprint Cars. Earlier in the night before his fourth-place finish in the main, Sexton was the ninth-fastest qualifier in the 16-car field with a time of 13.206. He also won the second heat race. To see rising star Grant Sexton in action at the Turkey Night Grand Prix at Ventura, spectator gates will open at 3:00 p.m. each night with racing at 5:00. Advance tickets are available and advised at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/82nd-annual-turkey-night-grand-prix-tickets-629591554287?aff=oddtdtcreator. 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. For fans who cannot make it, both nights will be streamed live on Flo Racing. For more information or to order please visit https://www.floracing.com/.

- GRANT AND BRENT SEXTON RETURN TO ACTION IN PERRIS SEASON FINALE THIS SATURDAY
(Lakeside, CA, November 8, 2023) After a weekend off from its late-season grueling schedule, Sexton Gatlin Racing drivers Brent and Grant Sexton return to the dirt track wars at Perris Auto Speedway this Saturday. Grant will be finishing up his award-winning rookie season in the USAC/CRA Series and Brent will be trying to snare points in his pursuit of a second straight POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car championship. Spectator gates at the premiere dirt track in the west will open at 5:00 p.m. with racing at 7:00. Grant, who at 19 is the youngest driver on the Sexton Gatlin roster, will put the bow on his USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year award season on Saturday. Last week at Cocopah, the teen raced in both the USAC/CRA portion of the show on Friday and Saturday and the ASCS 360 part of the affair on Friday. In Friday's USAC/CRA side of the Western World Championships, Sexton finished sixth in his heat and earned a transfer spot into the A main by placing seventh in the B. The 2021 POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car champion then started 20th in the 30-lap A main. Unfortunately, the abrasive, tire-eating surface was taking its toll. One of the victims was Sexton who dropped out halfway through and finished 22nd. Preceding the USAC/CRA main event, Grant also drove in the ASCS 360 portion of the doubleheader program. The teen did a great job on that side of the show. He started third in his heat race and when the pole sitter took the number two starter wide coming to the green flag, Sexton alertly dove to the inside and flew by both. From then on he was never headed and led every lap for the victory. In the 25-lap ASCS main event, the teenage racer started fourth and ended up in seventh. A few minutes later he ran the USAC/CRA main. At that point, seeing track conditions and the way they were devouring tires, the SGR team made the decision to park the 360 for the second night and save it for the Turkey Night Grand Prix on Thanksgiving weekend at the Ventura Raceway. On the second night in the USAC/CRA show, Sexton finished fifth in his heat and third in the B main. That sent him to the A-main. With better track conditions, he began the 30-lapper in 21st and advanced six spots to place 15th. Heading into this week's USAC/CRA finale at Perris, Sexton has the Rookie of the Year award locked up. He is also locked into the eighth-place spot in the championship standings. While Grant's award and positions are locked in with USAC/CRA, things are different for his father Brent. The defending SWLS champion goes into Saturday's competition 49 points out of first. In addition to Saturday, the SWLS has a race left on Tuesday, November 14th at the Bakersfield Speedway. If Brent can garner enough points between the two races and take the title, it will give him four lightning sprint championships. This year and last season with the SWLS. The first two were in the California Lightning Sprint Car Series in 1999 and 2008. All active military members with proper ID will get into Saturday night's race at Perris for just $5.00. In addition, they will receive one free pass for an accompanying guest. Adult tickets for Saturday's race are $30.00. Seniors 65 and over get in for $25.00. For kids 6-12 it is only $5.00 and children 5 and under are free. The fairgrounds charge $10.00 for parking.

- USAC/CRA LEADING ROOKIE HEADING TO ARIZONA FOR THIS WEEK'S WESTERN WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS
(Lakeside, CA, October 31, 2023) After a weekend away from the track, Sexton Gatlin Racing's season will hit the top of the homestretch this Friday and Saturday when Grant Sexton contests the Western World Championship at the Cocopah Speedway. The 19-year-old goes into the weekend with a commanding lead in the USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year chase with just three races to go in 2023. Sexton opened the 2023 campaign at Cocopah on the last weekend in January. It ended up being an inauspicious start to the year. At the Friday opener, a car flipped down the front straightaway and nearly landed on top of Sexton's beautiful #22. With that disaster averted, he came out for the main event. However, when he hit the throttle, the engine did not respond the way he liked, he wisely pulled off the track before the race started. The next evening, things actually got worse. The team scrambled to get his backup 360 ready for the night of action. Even though he was down on horsepower to the 410s in the field, Sexton was ready to rumble. Unfortunately, disaster struck in his heat race. The car directly in front of him spun leaving him nowhere to go. The teen clobbered the spinning car. The thunderous blow broke Sexton's front axle and ripped out the rear end of his backup car. That signaled the end of a very frustrating weekend. The Lakeside, California based driver comes into this weekend after competing all season in USAC/CRA, the toughest traditional sprint car series west of the Mississippi. Since those two races in January, Sexton has been a totally different driver and has amassed four top-10 finishes including a season-best fifth at Bakersfield on June 24th. Those results have seen him rise to eighth in the season long championship standings. Coming into the weekend he has a massive 341-point lead in the Rookie of the Year chase. Sexton's last race was two weeks ago when he contested the final Southern California Open Competition Sprint Car race of the year at the Imperial Valley Raceway. On that night, he was the fifth-fastest qualifier and placed fourth in his heat. In the 20-lap main event, he started seventh and finished fifth. The prior night was just practice and a six-lap dash for the six fastest drivers. Sexton qualified for that brief race and ended up fourth at the checkered.

- BRENT SEXTON FINISHES THIRD AND GRANT SEXTON PLACES FIFTH AT THE IMPERIAL VALLEY RACEWAY
(Lakeside, CA, October 27, 2023) Twenty-four hours after Brent Sexton won the POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car main event at the Imperial Valley Raceway, the defending series champion raced to a third-place finish on the same fairgrounds-based oval. In addition to Brent, his youngest son Grant placed fifth in the Southern California Open Competition Sprint Car main event. Brent, a 50-year-old Tennessee native, parlayed his weekend finishes into a bonafide chance of winning his fourth overall lightning sprint car title. His first two championships came in the California Lightning Sprint Car Series in 1999 and 2008. Last year he won his third title when he replaced 2021 SWLS title holder Grant. If he succeeds in taking the honor this season, it will give Lakeside, California-based Sexton Gatlin Racing the championships in the first three years of the POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series. Saturday at Imperial, the wily veteran driver started the main on the inside of row two in third. On a track that was one lane on the bottom by main event time, he was initially in fourth place. On the sixth lap, he moved up to third and stayed there for the duration. In eight SWLS starts this year, Brent has only finished out of the top four once. That was a sixth place at Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway on October 14th. In the other seven starts, he has two wins, three second-place finishes, a third, and a fourth. Nineteen-year-old Grant, who is going to be crowned USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year at the club's annual banquet after the new year, finished in the top five all night long in the So Cal Open Comp Sprints. To start the last night of racing at Imperial in 2023, he was the fifth-fastest qualifier. Not long thereafter, he started third and finished fourth in his heat. In the 20-lap main where passing was at a premium, he started in seventh and moved up two spots to finish fifth. This week, Grant heads to Friday and Saturday's Western World Championships at Arizona's Cocopah Speedway. Brent gets next week off but will continue his pursuit of the SWLS champion's crown at Perris Auto Speedway on November 11th. Going into that race, he is only 49 points out of first.

- THREE SEXTON GATLIN RACING DRIVERS COMPETING AT THE MOHAVE VALLEY RACEWAY ON SATURDAY
(Lakeside, CA, October 11, 2023) Sexton Gatlin Racing is bringing three cars for this Saturday's open-wheel racing program at Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway. Nineteen-year-old Grant Sexton, who has a big lead in the 2023 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year chase, will be there in his immaculate #22 410 sprint car. His 20-year-old brother Dalton and his father Brent will be competing in the POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint/California Lightning Sprint Cars Best of the West Series. Personable Grant comes back to the track where he notched his second-best 2023 finish in the USAC/CRA Series when he placed sixth in the main event in early May. His only better finish came on June 24th at the Bakersfield Speedway when he drove past the checkered flag in fifth. His other appearance at Mohave this year yielded a 13th-place result on April 1st. In addition to leading the Rookie of the Year chase, Grant is eighth in USAC/CRA points. The youngster has been in the top 10 most of the year. In addition, the Lakeside, California SGR driver is no stranger to the victory circle at Mohave Valley. The 2021 POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series champion won a thrilling lightning main there last October. Brent and Dalton will both be competing in the CLS/SWLS portion of the show. For Dalton, it will only be his third race of the 2023 campaign. On the other hand, Brent is trying to win the SWLS title for the second consecutive season. He enters Saturday's race third in the series standings with five races to go. He trails the leader by 192 points. When it comes to SWLS races at Mohave, SGR has dominated the action. Dating back to the first race at the track in 2021, SGR has won four of the five mains including the last four in a row. Brent has three of those wins and Grant has the other. At the last SWLS race at the track in April, Brent beat five-time CLS champion Bobby Michnowicz of Oak Hills and California Highway Patrol officer Jeff Dyer of Yucca Valley to the checkers. All three will be on hand to battle again on Saturday. Fans can find the Mohave Valley Raceway at 2750 E. Laguna in Mohave Valley, Arizona. The track is just minutes away from the Colorado River and only 20 minutes from Laughlin, Nevada. Gates will open at 5:00 p.m. with racing at 7:00. Adult tickets are $25.00. For seniors 60 and over and active military with proper ID, it is $20.00. Kids 6-12 get in for $5.00. Children five and under are free and parking is free as well.

- SEXTON GATLIN RACING GOES FROM DISASTER TO BOTH DRIVERS IN USAC/CRA MAIN AT PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY
(Lakeside, CA, September 29, 2023) Sexton Gatlin Racing came back from a disastrous start to finish the night with 13th and 17th place finishes in the USAC/CRA Glenn Howard Classic at Perris Auto Speedway. Up next will be a trip to Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway on October 14th. Drivers Grant Sexton, the USAC/CRA Series leading rookie, and his father Brent represented SGR at the series home track. The father and son combo took laps in qualifying with Grant timing in 10th fastest of the 24 cars on hand with a lap of 17.019. Brent, in only his third series start, was 21st at 18.198. The first event after qualifying was the Senior Sprint Car heat race. In addition to USAC/CRA, Brent decided to race with the Seniors for the second time ever. Unfortunately, he tangled with another car heading into turn one on the first lap. The result was a spectacular two-car flip mere seconds after the green flag. Fortunately, Brent and the other driver were uninjured, but their cars were heavily damaged. The initial word from the pits was SGR did not have enough parts to repair Brent's car. As he was running the same car in both portions of the show, it also meant he was done in USAC/CRA as well. With Brent seemingly done, Grant was going to fly the SGR flag by himself the rest of the way at the Howard Classic. The teen's effort began in the first 10-lap USAC/CRA heat race of the night. However, things did not go well. While he ended up with a better fate than his father in the Senior's, he left the race after only nine laps and finished in the ninth spot. Grant's issue in the heat created a conundrum for the crew. While it was initially announced that Brent was done for the night, the team was busy trying to get the car repaired for the main event. It was a race against time to get the mangled car repaired but everyone pitched in and was on it. When the cars rolled onto the track for main event introductions, one of them was Brent's repaired #44i. Grant began the 30-lapper in 10th and Brent began in the 20th spot. Grant ended up completing all 30 laps and placed 13th. Brent advanced forward three spots and finished 17th despite leaving the action with three laps remaining. Grant came out of the night eighth in the championship standings with four races to go. His next action will be on October 13th at Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway. The 360 engine previously owned by Rico Abreu that Brent used on Saturday will be set aside until Grant uses it in November's Turkey Night Grand Prix at the Ventura Raceway. Brent, the defending POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series champion, will hop back in his lightning sprint for that show. Joining the lightning action will be his oldest son Dalton. A past regular in the lightning sprint car wars, the soon-to-be 21-year-old will be making his fourth start of the 2023 racing campaign.

- BRENT AND GRANT SEXTON COMPETE IN THE GLENN HOWARD CLASSIC ON SATURDAY AT PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY
(Lakeside, CA, September 19, 2023) Sexton Gatlin Racing drivers Brent and Grant Sexton will be back on the track for the first time in over a month when they contest the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series Glenn Howard Classic this Saturday, September 23rd at Perris Auto Speedway. It will be their first race since the finale of the POWRi MinKota Summer Nationals at Minnesota's Buffalo River Speedway on August 14th. As he has done most of the year, 19-year-old Grant enters the race leading the USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year standings. The teen has steadily climbed the points ladder all year long and comes into Saturday's race in seventh. The young driver has placed in the top ten four times in 2023. His best outing was a fifth-place result at the Bakersfield Speedway on June 24th. At Perris, a ninth-place finish at the prestigious Salute to Indy on May 27th, has been his best result at the famous Riverside County half-mile clay oval this year. Besides that, the track has been tough on the effervescent teen with a 12th, 15th, 16th, and 19th. He hopes to improve on all of his Perris finishes on Saturday. Brent, who has been racing at Perris for over 20 years in lightning sprint cars, made his USAC/CRA debut on June 10th. The now 50-year-old shocked everyone by finishing seventh after starting near the back of the pack. His other start in the series came on July 15th at Perris. On that night he started 22nd in the main and moved forward to finish 18th. In addition to his outings in the USAC/CRA Series, Brent, the defending POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series champion, has a win and a second-place finish in the two POWRi races at the track known as The PAS this year. This week, Tennessee native Brent will be debuting a new XXX Chassis. In addition, he will be using an ex-Rico Abreau 360 engine that the team just purchased. The same engine is destined to see some action in the USAC West Coast Series with Grant pushing the pedals. With plans on mostly sticking with USAC/CRA Sprint Cars in 2024, Sexton Gatlin Racing has two, top-of-the-line lightning sprint cars for sale.
