  BRADEN CHIARAMONTE PUTS ON A SHOW IN C. BELL'S MICRO MANIA IN TEXAS - THIS WEEK RACING A WINGED 360

  (El Cajon, CA, September 30, 2022) Race fans in Texas received a good taste of one of the most exciting young drivers in the nation last week when Braden Chiaramonte competed against 145 other drivers at the "C. Bell Micro Mania" at the Lil Texas Motor Speedway. While the El Cajon, California driver did not win the main event, he put on an amazing passing clinic. This week Chiaramonte is headed to Northern California to race a 360-winged sprint car. After qualifying 11th fastest out of 35 cars in the 600cc non-wing outlaw class on the first night in Texas, Chiaramonte was in the second heat race. He was starting in the fourth position and was trying to annex third when the field hit turn one on the first lap. The car in second place parked it directly in front of Chiaramonte leaving him no place to go. The 15-year-old caught a piece of the spinner and came to a stop. Several other drivers also got involved in the tangle. Due to stopping on the track Chiaramonte had to go to the back for the restart and was then coming from the 9th position. The show began instantly when he began picking off cars at a frantic pace trying to get to third place, which was the final transfer spot to the A main. The young driver made his way all the way up to fourth and was challenging for third when his rear sprocket broke knocking him out of the race. Had that sprocket not broken, it looked like Chiaramonte would have picked off at least one more car and earned his ticket straight into the A main event. However, due to the issue, he had to start in the D main and transfer three times to get into the A. In the 10-lap D main, Chiaramonte started fourth and he made the race look like child's play. On lap two he went to the re-worked outside line. Two laps later he blew by the second-place car and the leader in one corner. From that point on, he put on a "going fast clinic" and won the race by over a full straightaway. The victory in the D advanced Chiaramonte to the 10-lap C main. With virtually no time between the races, he had to come back on the track and start inside of the 10th row in the 19th position and move up to fourth to transfer. In other words, he had a long way to go and a lot of cars to pass in a short period of time. To complicate matters, on one of the original tries to start the race he came to a stop in turn two necessitating a yellow flag. That meant he would have to go all the way to the back. From there he moved forward to the eighth position when he ran out of laps. For Saturday things started out in almost a carbon copy of Friday. Chiaramonte was again in the D main. He was starting third, but when the driver starting first switched cars, Chiaramonte inherited the pole. From there he walked away from the field in the 10 lapper to win by nearly a full straightaway. The victory earned him a ticket to the 12-lap C main. Chiaramonte had his work cut out for him in the C. He was once again starting inside row 10 in the 19th spot and had to get to fourth. To say he put on a show is an understatement. By the end of the fourth lap, he had passed 10 cars and was up to 9th. One lap later he was up to seventh and was still moving forward. Soon after he snatched that final transfer spot, he passed the third-place car. However, a yellow flag seconds later reverted the running order back to the last lap putting Chiaramonte in fourth. That was where he finished. It put him in the B main event, which was only one transfer away from the A. After two nights of constantly passing cars, Chiaramonte had gained the attention of the announcers. His performances over the first night and first two races of the finale had him on their radar for the 15-lap B main event. And why not? Going into the B he had passed more cars than any of the other 144 drivers in the class. Chiaramonte was starting dead last in the 22nd spot. He had to get to seventh and only had 15 laps to do it. As per usual he immediately began to pass cars and was up to 17th by the end of lap two. However, he was spun out by another car in turn four on the fourth circuit. That meant that he once again had to go all the way to the back and try to get to seventh in just 11-laps. To say he put on a show was an understatement as he got all the way up to the 12th spot before the checkered flag ended the race and his weekend. While he did not make it all the way to the A, he was one of the main shows and most exciting drivers at the event. In a little more than 24 hours, he started six races and passed an astounding 41 cars. That was the most of any driver on the premises. Chiaramonte is back in the "Golden State" this weekend and will be doing a 180 as he is going from last week's 600cc micro to a winged 360 sprint car for the two-night Fall Nationals at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico. He will once again be driving the Tyner/Hurst Enterprises #94th. That is the same car he drove at Chico five weeks ago to make his 360-wing car debut. On that night, he transferred directly out of his heat race and into the main event where he finished 18th. Two weeks ago, Chiaramonte was a guest on the Racer Radio Show. You can hear a replay of the show (Chiaramonte comes on at around 24 minutes) at the following link http://www.perrisautospeedway.com/radio22/RACERRADIO220918.mp3. 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.

  BRADEN CHIARAMONTE DOMINATED IN PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY DEBUT LAST SATURDAY - TAKING ON TEXAS THIS WEEK

  (El Cajon, CA, September 21, 2022) Fifteen-year-old racing phenom Braden Chiaramonte made his first competitive appearance at Southern California's Perris Auto Speedway last Saturday and he ran roughshod over the competition winning both his heat and the main event in the Lucas Oil POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series. The triumph gave him two wins in five starts in the SWLS this year. This week the talented driver is headed to Texas to drive an Outlaw Non-Wing micro in "C. Bell's MICRO MANIA" at the Lil' Texas Motor Speedway. 307645947_5399552343414457_4122898854922681339_n (1).jpg Braden Chiaramonte after his win in the POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprints Saturday at Perris. Chiaramonte's participation last Saturday at America's Premiere Dirt Track caught many by surprise. Earlier this year the #73 lightning sprint car he drove in 2021 and at the start of this season was traded for a full-size sprint car. However, when Sexton Gatlin Racing came calling with a seat open in one of its potent cars for Saturday's race, the El Cajon, California teen jumped at the opportunity. His acceptance and the subsequent result ended up being a win for him and the team.Chiaramonte was on the pole in the SGR #3 normally driven by Grant Sexton for the first heat race. As soon as the green flag sent the field on its way, Chiaramonte drove into the lead. The only thing that slowed him was a lap two yellow flag. When the green flag came back out, he simply ran away from the field on the brightly lit half-mile oval. By the time the checkered flag ended the six lapper, he was nearly a half-track ahead of the second-place car. "It was fun," the well-spoken driver told the crowd from his cockpit after the heat. "I have not been in a lightning sprint for a while, so it was fun to get back in one. The track is fast. You just have to be super smooth and hold it wide open. Whoever is the smoothest is going to be the fastest. I was holding it wide open for most of the track, so I thought I was going to be pretty fast." An hour and 20 minutes after he won his heat race, the SWLS main event field rolled onto the racetrack. Once again, Chiaramonte was starting on the pole. That was bad news for the remainder of the field. However, when the green lights came on, the car did not get off the corner and Chiaramonte initially slipped back to third. He advanced one spot up to second on lap two and began stalking the leader. The teen closed in on the leader on lap seven and battled with him for six laps before asserting himself and taking the lead on lap 13. As soon as he moved into the top spot, he did the same number on the field as he did in his heat race. He went unchallenged the remainder of the way and won by a full straightaway. "It was a crazy race," Chiaramonte told the crowd after celebrating the win with a wing dance. "I have got to thank Grant and Brent (Sexton) for letting me run their car. It was all about being smooth. When we got past Dyer (Jeff Dyer who led the first 12 laps) I knew we were going to be good. I knew Seth (crew chief Seth Kramer) had this thing dialed. I want to thank all of them (SGR) for letting me run their car and my mom and dad and everybody else. Hopefully, we can make it to the World of Outlaws one day. I am going to race everything I can get into. We race for the next nine weekends in a row. I am pretty excited about that. We leave for Texas on Monday. Hopefully, we can bring home some hardware from Texas and see what else happens." After Chiaramonte's interview, gracious second-place finisher Dyer told the crowd, "My car was just really too good too early, It kind of faded on me and he got by me. But that kid is really good. There is no shame to lose to him." Fans who have a Flo Racing subscription can see a replay of Chiaramonte's impressive night. For those who do not, but would like more information, visit the Flo Racing website at https://www.floracing.com/. All three nights of this week's "C. Bell MICRO Mania" race will be available to watch live on the Dirt Vision site. All the details are available at https://www.dirtvision.com/. Chiaramonte will be racing in Texas on Friday night. In two practice sessions on Wednesday, he was fifth fastest in his group the first time on the track and third fastest the second time he went out. Sunday afternoon, Chiaramonte was a guest on the Racer Radio Show. He talked with host Dave Stall about his big win at Perris on Saturday and this week's trip to Texas.

  BRADEN CHIARAMONTE MAKES PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY DEBUT ON SATURDAY NIGHT

  (El Cajon, CA, September 16, 2022) Perris Auto Speedway fans are in for an extra treat this Saturday night, September 27th. In addition to the USAC/CRA Sprint Cars, IMCA Modifieds, and PAS Senior & Young Gun Sprints, the POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series will be making its first-ever appearance at the famous Riverside County half-mile clay oval. One of the drivers on the SWLS roster on Saturday will be El Cajon, California's Braden Chiaramonte. The teen is one of the brightest young stars in open-wheel racing and he will be making his first appearance at The PAS. 305732394_10166649592170201_7960740056528981068_n.jpg Braden Chiaramonte getting fitted into the Tyner/Hurst Enterprises 360 last month. Chiaramonte Photo. Chiaramonte, 15, got the call from Sexton Gatlin Racing to drive the car normally driven by Grant Sexton. Sexton will be running his 360 sprint car in the USAC/CRA portion of Saturday's show. That opened up the seat in his #3 SWLS car for Chiaramonte, who will now be teammates with Brent Sexton and his son Dalton. Brent and Dalton are ranked first and second in SWLS points going into Saturday's race. They, along with Grant, have won seven of the first eight SWLS main events in 2022. The only driver to beat them in a main event this year was Chiaramonte when he drove his own #73 to the win at Imperial on April 23. One week later at Barona, Chiaramonte finished second in the main event to the car he will be driving on Saturday. Soon after the second-place finish at Barona, Chiaramonte's white #73 was sold. However, since that time he has raced at eight different tracks, in three different states, in four different cars. Among the tracks he has raced on in that span are Indiana's US 24 Raceway, Merced Speedway, Ventura Raceway, Silver Dollar Speedway, Lemoore Raceway, Placerville Speedway, Jefferson County Speedway, and last, but certainly not least, the most famous racetrack in the world, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. While he has now made several forays into USAC Midget racing, his latest exploit was a pair of races in Northern California on August 26th and 27th. Those two nights would see him make his first ever starts in a full-size 360-winged sprint car. In the typical Braden Chiaramonte fashion, he stood out from the drop of the green in qualifying at Chico when he out-qualified over 30 of the veteran drivers on hand. He then moved forward in his first full-size sprint car heat to finish fourth and capture a direct transfer into the main event. After initially slipping back to 23rd in that main, late in the race he moved back up to finish 18th. After Saturday's event at Perris, Chiaramonte is going to be a busy racer over the next month. Next week he will be off to Lil' Texas Motor Speedway for "C. Bell's MICRO MANIA." In the following two weeks, he will be back in California in the Tyner/Hurst Enterprises winged 360 for the Fall Nationals in Chico and at Keller Auto Speedway for the Cotton Classic. One week later he will be jetting to Oklahoma for three nights of racing in the KKM Giveback Classic at the Port City Raceway. Adult tickets to see rising star Chiaramonte in action on Saturday are $30.00. Seniors 65 and over get in for $25.00. For kids 6 to 12, it is just $5.00. Children 5 and under are admitted free. There will be plenty of tickets available for everyone at the ticket window on Saturday, this event will not sell out. Perris Auto Speedway is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds at 18700 Lake Perris Drive in the city of Paris (91767). The track website is http://www.perrisautospeedway.com/ and the office phone number is (951) 940-0134. The fairgrounds charges $10 for parking. For fans who come east on the 91 Freeway to get to The PAS, the eastbound lanes will be shut down all weekend in Corona. Fans can take the 91 east to either the 605 or the 57 north to the 60 Freeway east. Chiaramonte would like to thank the following marketing partners for making his 2022 racing season possible.

  BRADEN CHIARAMONTE MAKES MAIN IN FULL-SIZED SPRINT CAR DEBUT

  (El Cajon, CA, September 3, 2022) He did it again! Braden Chiaramonte took what is perhaps his biggest step up the racing ladder when he qualified for the main in his first ever 360 winged sprint car race at the Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, California. The feat made fans sit up and notice as he did it competing against a star-studded 45-car field. 301596603_10216892662388615_2539635113442531569_n.jpg Braden Chiaramonte getting fitted into the Tyner/Hirst #94th. Chiaramonte Photo. The large field was split into four separate groups for qualifying. Chiaramonte, who lives in the San Diego, California suburb of El Cajon, was in the first group which included 11 cars. For those unfamiliar with the teen, they were surprised to see him qualify sixth fastest in the group at 12.436. In addition, that lap was faster than 30 of the cars on hand. Most of them were seasoned veterans. For fans who have been following the young driver's career, that qualifying performance was no surprise at all. The next step was his first ever heat race in a full-size sprint car on the famous Northern California quarter-mile oval. The race was an eight-lapper and the top five finishers would get automatic tickets to the main event. Chiaramonte, in the Tyner/Hurst Enterprises #94th, was starting outside of the third row in sixth. From the time the green flag dropped, he was cool and controlled. By the end of the fourth lap, he was up to third and when the race ended, his fourth-place finish sent him straight into the main on his debut night. For the 30-lap main event, Chiaramonte started on the outside of the seventh row in the 14th. Early on, he slipped back in the pack. However, as the race progressed, he drove smoothly and moved forward. Over the last 11-laps, he advanced from 22nd to 18th. That performance was well received by many longtime race followers. Twenty-four hours later Chiaramonte journeyed a couple of hours south to the legendary red clay of the Placerville Speedway on the El Dorado County Fairgrounds for his second night in a 360-winged sprint car. He impressed early on when he recorded the ninth fastest time of the 44 cars on hand in hot laps at 11.729. He drew into the first 22-car group for qualifying. On his second lap, he got over the top of the cushion in turn two. That cost him, and his first lap of 11.725 was his official time. Fifteen-year-old Chiaramonte lined up 11th in the stacked fourth heat. He moved up two spots to finish ninth, right behind the driver who is second in the track point standings. The finish dictated that he would have to participate in one of the B Mains in hopes of getting one of the starting spots for the A Main. Chiaramonte started dead last in 14th for the second 12-lap B. Like the heat race, he moved forward a couple of spots, but it was not enough to get him into the A Main and that put the wraps on his weekend. While he did not win in his first two nights of winged 360 action, Chiaramonte created a favorable impression. He showed speed and was under control. He made the A main on his first night and in all four races he started on the weekend, he passed cars. For fans who did not make it to the tracks, both races are available on Flo Racing. For more details or pricing, please visit the website at https://www.floracing.com/. Chiaramonte was due to be back in action on Sunday, September 4th, driving the Tom Malloy owned midget in the USAC National Midget Series Fireman's Nationals at the Angel Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. However, track crews tried to get the track rolled in from a storm on Saturday, but the surface remained too wet and unsafe for racing on Sunday. Thus, the race was canceled. 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.

  BRADEN CHIARAMONTE SET FOR NORCAL WINGED 360 SPRINT CAR DEBUT

  (El Cajon, CA, August 25, 2022) Rising west coast open wheel racer Braden Chiaramonte is headed to Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, California on Friday night and the Placerville Speedway on Saturday to compete in a winged 360 sprint car. The two events will be his first-ever races in a full-size sprinter. For 15-year-old Chiaramonte, it is another stepping stone on the 2022 portion of his racing ledger. He began the year on New Year's Day racing a micro at the Tulsa Shootout in Oklahoma. In March, he jumped into the same lightning sprint car that he drove to the title in the Minnkota Shootout in August 2021 and to second place in the POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car championship point standings last year. He steered that car to a win at Imperial Valley on April 23rd. That came one week after he made his first of two starts in the USAC Western Midget Series at the Bakersfield Speedway. In July, Chiaramonte climbed another wrung up the racing ladder. He jumped into the toughest midget racing series in the world, the USAC National Midgets, for two races in Oklahoma. There, he drove the famous Tom Malloy/Trench Shoring #25 USAC midget. Earlier this month, he drove the same car in the prestigious BC39 at the mecca of auto racing, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Set up by Colby Copeland, who was a teammate of Chiaramonte's at the BC39, Chiaramonte will team up with Steven Tiner and Kyle Hurst for his 360 debut. The races will come at two of California's iconic tracks, Silver Dollar, and Placerville. In 1962, Silver Dollar became the fourth track built in the Chico area. The ¼-mile banked clay oval, which is now owned by NASCAR Champion Kyle Larson, World of Outlaws champ Brad Sweet, and Copeland, is one of the oldest tracks in the "Golden State." Placerville is another one of California's most famous tracks having opened three years after Silver Dollar in 1965. Like Silver Dollar, the red clay ¼-mile banked oval on the El Dorado County Fairgrounds is one of the longest-running and most popular racetracks in California. If you wish to see Chiaramonte make his winged 360 debut at Chico, spectator gates will open at 5:00 PM with racing at 6:00. Tickets are $10 each for everyone 12 years of age and older. Everyone who is 11 years old or younger, will be admitted free when accompanied by an adult. Advance tickets are available at the following link https://www.eventsprout.com/event/back-to-school-kids-bike-night. Silver Dollar Speedway is located at 2357 Fair St, in Chico (95928). For more information check out the track website at https://www.silverdollarspeedway.com/ or call the office at 530-332-8881. Twenty-four hours later, adult tickets at Placerville are $18.00. Juniors aged 12-17, seniors 62 and over, and military get in for $16.00. Kids 6-11 are $8.00 and children 5 and under are free. Spectator gates will open at 3:00 p.m. with racing at 6:00.

  BRADEN CHIARAMONTE COMPETES AT INDIANAPOLIS MOTOR SPEEDWAY

  (El Cajon, CA August 15, 2022) For a vast majority of race car drivers around the world, competing at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is an unending, mostly never realized dream. After all, the facility is the mecca of motorsports and it hosts the world's most famous race, the Indianapolis 500. El Cajon, California teenager Braden Chiaramonte, realized that coveted dream in early August when he drove a USAC National Midget in the BC39 at the historic venue. The BC39 began in 2018 and it honors the memory of multi-talented racer Bryan Clauson who passed away in 2016. A hit from the start, the race has grown in prestige every year and it takes place on a specially constructed dirt track on the inside of turn three of the famous 2 ½-mile oval in Speedway, Indiana. The two-night race was Chiaramonte's second foray into the USAC National Midget Series. The pleasant young driver raced in the series in mid-July when he drove the famous Tom Malloy Special #25 in Oklahoma. He was wheeling the same car at the BC39 where he competed against the best midget racers in the world. In addition to the midget stars, the competition was festooned with drivers from several other disciplines of racing including NASCAR, Indy Cars, and the World of Outlaws. Except for battling the Midwest's volatile weather, the prestigious race was a fan-pleasing event that was not only seen by a sellout crowd at the track on the second night but also around the world on the Flo Racing Network. After participating in the pre-race draft on August 2nd where drivers picked their position for the heat races, Chiaramonte's first taste of action on the tiny dirt oval came on Wednesday, August 3rd. It was a 10-lap heat race and the young driver was on the inside of the third row at the outset. Chiaramonte ran fifth before slipping back to seventh in the first half of the race. Suddenly he began building momentum by braving the top. He raced back to sixth and coming off turn four on lap five, he swept around two cars to advance to fourth. However, just as quickly as he did that, a car spun bringing out the yellow flag and reverting scoring to the previously completed lap. That sent Chiaramonte back to sixth and try as he might, traffic was thick when the race restarted and he slipped back to a seventh-place finish. The second-day program began with Chiaramonte starting and finishing 11th in his qualifier. That sent him into one of the day's D main events. To say the least, Chiaramonte had his work cut out for him in the D main. He was starting on the outside of row six in 12th in the 17-car field. Only the top three finishers would advance to the C main. Lap times were in the 13-second bracket and the race was only 12-laps long. The deck was stacked against him. However, somebody forgot the send that memo to Chiaramonte as he shined in that event. By the end of the second circuit, the Southern California teen was up to ninth. Two laps later he advanced two more spots and was in 7th. He was slicing his way through the field in an effort to get to that final transfer spot. When the eighth go-round ended, he had advanced to 5th, but he was some distance behind the fourth and third place cars. Not to be deterred he quickly chased them down but ran out of laps before he could get by. He was right behind the 4th place car when the checkered flag ended the race and his first effort in the BC39. Chiaramonte's lightning sprint car has found a new home. In its spot in the shop, there is now a full-size sprint car the teen will use as he scales higher up racing's ladder.
