LUCAS OIL POWRi SOUTHWEST LIGHTNING SPRINT CAR SERIES 2023 SCHEDULE
(Lakeside, CA, January 2, 2023) The Lucas Oil POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series has released its exciting schedule for the 2023 racing season with 19 dates on the slate. Seventeen of the races will be in California and two will be across the border in Arizona. 320926663_6018675031484286_8788656927764865312_n.jpg Among the 19 races will be first-time stops at the Bakersfield Speedway and the Ventura Raceway. In addition, the biggest track lightning sprint cars compete on in the southwest, the half-mile at Perris Auto Speedway will become a regular stop for the first time for the SWLS. An impressive showing by the club at the longtime Riverside County clay oval last September has led to four races at the venue this year. As well as the new tracks, the SWLS will be back in action at familiar racing facilities. The rejuvenated Imperial Valley Raceway will be the club's home track in 2022 with six races scheduled. San Diego County's only ¼ mile dirt oval, the Barona Speedway, will see the SWLS make four trips to town. The club will venture across the border to Arizona two times in 2023. The first trip to the "Copper State" will be on April 1st and the second will be on October 14th. Both of those sojourns will see the SWLS on the same card as the popular USAC/CRA Sprint Cars on the racy Mohave Valley Raceway. "It is going to take a lot of these guys from down here in the San Diego area to tracks they have not been to before," SWLS President Brent Sexton said when asked about the new series venues. "They will be able to compete against some different drivers on different tracks. Hopefully, at some point, we can join forces with the two groups (California Lightning Sprint Cars and Northern California's Bay Cities Racing Association) and have 25 cars and B mains." The SWLS calendar shows a co-sanctioned six-race series with the California Lightning Sprint Cars that is titled "Best of the West." Those six races will feature a $3,000.00 point fund that will be paid out to the top 10 drivers. The season-opening races at Imperial Valley on March 10th and 11th will kick off the "Best of the West." Round #3 will take place at Mohave on April 1st. May 20th will see Bakersfield host round #4. After a two-month break, the next to last race in the BOTW will happen at Ventura on July 22nd before heading back to Mohave to wrap up the series on October 14th. The busiest month for the SWLS in 2022 will be October when it races four times. After the finish of the "Best of the West" series on October 14th, the teams will be right back in action on October 20th and 21st at Imperial Valley. One week later, they head to Barona for the last time in 2023. After two weeks off, the season will end at Perris on November 11th. Being back at Perris, one of the most visible tracks in the country is important for the SWLS. A longtime home to lightning races, last September's SWLS appearance at the track known as The PAS was the first lightning race there in several years. The 18-car field and clean racing made track officials more than happy to schedule the SWLS four times in 2023. "It is huge for us getting to run all of those races there with USAC," Sexton responded when asked what it meant to have the famous track on the schedule. "It is a good thing so we can highlight these lightning sprints. It shows that these things can definitely lead to racing in midgets and sprint cars. It is a step for all of us (lightning sprints) here in California. It will strengthen that gap with the younger generations coming up through the ranks. Hopefully, it will help lightning sprint racing and full-size sprint cars as well." In a change from the 2022 season when the SWLS had seven wingless races, there are only three topless shows on the schedule this year. The first will take place at Imperial on April 22nd. The second will be four months later in August at Barona. The last wingless race of the 2023 campaign will take place at Imperial on October 21st. "At some of the tracks we are at it will make it more entertaining," Sexton said. "Plus the six-race "Best of the West" series with CLS is all winged races." Built into the regular season will be three breaks for teams to travel to the Colorado Nationals in June, Washington's "Dirt Cup" in July, and the "Minkota Nationals" in mid-August. The series is currently hard at work seeking marketing partners for the 2023 campaign.

"SHUGAH" SHANE SEXTON GETS A THIRD-PLACE FINISH ON LAST WEEKEND OF THE SEASON AT PLACERVILLE
(Warner Springs, CA, December 1, 2022) Shane Sexton brought the curtain down on his 2022 racing season at the three-night Hangtown 100 at the Placerville Speedway. Driving for Brian Fonseca, whom he has teamed with for two victories in 2022, the 18-year-old driver had a third-place finish on the second night on the quarter-mile banked red clay Oval. Night #1 A stellar field of 26 cars showed up for the race that was co-sanctioned by the California Lightning Sprint Car Series, and Northern California's Bay Cities Racing Association. The affable 18-year-old got off to a good start when he recorded the fourth-fastest qualifying time with a sizzling lap of 13.751. That effort placed him in the first 8-lap heat race of the three-night affair. Fortunately, that heat result did not resonate on the entire weekend as Sexton started in the 5th place spot and ended up 7th. He followed the heat up by starting the 25-lap main in 10th in Fonseca's #3F. He moved the car forward four spots and finished six. Night #2 Sexton, who makes his home in Warner Springs, California, had another good qualifying effort on night number two. That time he recorded the fifth-fastest lap at 13.644. Things went much better for his heat race on the second night when he began in fifth and finished fourth in the quick 8-lapper. Not long thereafter, the driver who picked up preliminary main event wins at Washington's Clay Cup and the Cal Cup at the Lemoore Speedway was fired up and ready for the main event. He started on the inside of the second row and 100 turns later, he crossed the finish line in third place. It was his 7th top-five finish of the 2022 season. It was an impressive finish considering that the condition of the track for the main caught the team by surprise. "I did not think it was going to be this dry," Sexton explained. "We probably could have went a little bit tighter. Hats off to my guys, Brian Fonseca, and my dad. They work their tails off throughout the night. We have had some success all around the country. We normally do not do the local stuff for Brian, but he called and asked if I wanted to drive it and I could not say no. Third place on the podium is not too bad." 316166392_1752841241764061_2197171293471255483_n.jpg Shane Sexton with his Friday night third place trophy at Placerville. Sexton photo. Night #3 Hopes were high for the Sexton/Fonseca duo in the final race of the year. Coming off the previous night's podium finish combined with their success in big events this year, there were plenty of reasons to believe that the night was going to be special. Those expectations grew higher when Sexton started and finished second in his 12-lap qualifier. That put him on the outside of row two for the feature. However, this is no fairy tale and the main event did not have a happy ending. On lap six, Sexton tangled with another car in turn one. While it was not a heavy crash, the damage done was enough to knock him out of the race. He ended up with a very frustrating 18th-place finish. While the 2022 campaign is done, the work is already underway for 2023. Sexton will be spending countless hours in the shop getting his family-owned GAS Chassis 410 sprint car ready to go at the season openers in late January. He plans to run the full season with USAC/CRA. He also hopes to see some time in Fonseca's potent car in select events when his 410 racing schedule permits. In addition to prepping the cars, the young driver is looking to have some corporate marketing partners join him for the year. If you are interested, please contact him via the information that follows: e-mail mailto::Shanesexton7@gmail.com or by phone at (619) 362-5921. If you are looking to get into sprint car racing, you can use the same contact information to purchase or get information on a new GAS Chassis for the 2023 campaign. Sexton would like to thank Brian Fonseca and Samantha Sproull for the opportunity to wheel their lightning sprint and he would like to thank their team sponsors for making it possible. They are the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians, Foothill Tractor & Heavy Equipment, KB Rod Benders, and MJK Auto Sales. Sexton and the #74 team wish to extend their thanks to the following 2022 racing season partners. GAS Chassis, Key Brothers Racing, Nita Gatlin, Hugh Jorgan, Mike Pridgeon Racing Engines, AG Sandcars, Powder 1, Ron's Tire and Brake, and Savage Racing.

"SHUGAH" SHANE SEXTON'S RACING SEASON ENDS THIS WEEK AT THE PLACERVILLE SPEEDWAY
(Warner Springs, CA, November 16, 2022) Young Warner Springs, California racer "Shugah" Shane Sexton will conclude his 2022 racing season this Thursday through Saturday, November 17, 18, and 19, in the annual Hangtown 100 on the red clay of the Placerville Speedway. The friendly driver will be in Brian Fonseca's wingless lightning sprint car for the three-night event. Thus far in 2022, 18-year-old Sexton has driven Fonseca's owned Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians/Foothill Tractor & Heavy Equipment/KB Rod Benders/MJK Auto Sales #3F nine times at four different tracks. First off came the two-day POWRi Lightening Sprint Nationals at the Central Missouri Speedway in May. The highlight of that trip was a second-place finish on opening night. In July, they teamed up and went to the prestigious Clay Cup at Washington's Deming Speedway and took the victory on the second night. They attended the re-opening of the Santa Maria Speedway in early August and the friendly driver placed third in the main event. The last time they joined forces was five weeks ago at the Cal Cup at Central California's Lemoore Raceway. That weekend, Sexton again posted the win on the second of three nights of racing. All told in the nine starts, Sexton has only finished out of the top five two times. Each of those two came when he was clobbered by another car and knocked out of contention. 313102816_10166816417445201_7101363667430222325_n.jpg Shane Sexton (right) after his October win at Lemoore Raceway. Maxwell Patrick photo. Overall, this weekend's races will be #18, 19, and 20 for Sexton this year. When all the races have been logged into his ledger after Saturday, it will show that he competed in lightning sprints 12 times. Also, he will have raced his 410 USAC/CRA car eight times in 2022. Look for his schedule to increase significantly in 2023 as he plans to have several more dates in the 410 GAS Chassis house car throughout the year. To see "Shugah: Shane in action at Placerville, you can purchase advance tickets at https://www.eventsprout.com/event/hangtown-2022. Gates will open at 3:00 p.m. each day with racing at 6:00.
