For Immediate Release

SEXTON/GATLIN RACING BACK AT THE VENTURA RACEWAY THIS SATURDAY NIGHT!

(Lakeside, CA, May 2, 2019) Sexton/Gatlin Racing will be back in action for round #5 of the POWRi California Lightning Sprint Car Series this Saturday night, May 4th, at the Ventura Raceway.  Spectator gates at the beach side oval will open at 3:00 P.M. and racing will begin at 5:30. 

Saturday will be the second of eight CLS races on its home track in 2019.  At the first appearance at the track which is a few hundred feet from the breaking waves of the Pacific Ocean, 14-year-old Grant Sexton, the 2018 CLS Rookie of the Year, recorded the best finish for the racing family on the night when he came home seventh.  Older brother Dalton finished 11th.  Family patriarch Brent had mechanical issues and was forced to sit out the main. 

Two weeks ago at the Bakersfield Speedway, all three family members qualified in the top 10 and made the main event.  Dalton, who currently ranks highest of the trio in the championship standings, scored his season-best fifth-place finish.  Brent, who was charging towards the front before a late race tangle knocked him out of the race, ended up 16th.  Grant suffered some front-end damage due to contact with an infield tire and ended up 18th.  Grant sits 15th in the standings but he is only 23 points out of 11th.  Brent is 25th in points but has only contested one main event thus far in the season.

After Saturday’s 195-mile drive to race in Ventura, Sexton/Gatlin Racing will have a short trip for the next race when the CLS returns to the Barona Speedway for the second time in 2019 on May 18th. 

In addition to the CLS, Saturday’s program will include the USAC/CRA Sprint Cars, VRA Senior Sprints and the Focus/WMR Midgets.  Fans who would like to attend can find the track on the Ventura County Fairgrounds at 10 W. Harbor Boulevard (93001).  For more information, visit the track website at http://venturaraceway.com/ or call the office at (805) 648-RACE.
