SEXTONS HEAD TO VENTURA FOR LIGHTNING SPRINT CAR SEASON OPENER THIS SATURDAY!

(Lakeside, CA, April 11, 2018) Brent, Grant and Dalton Sexton are headed to the Ventura Raceway this Saturday night for the twice rained out California Lightning Sprint Car Series 25th annual season opener.     

The race comes two weeks after the Sexton/Gatlin Racing trio made its 2018 debut at the BCRA season opener in Placerville, California.  Brent, the 45-year-old patriarch of the racing triangle, took second in the race on the Northern California oval.  Sons Grant and Dalton placed 14th and  17th respectively.

Saturday’s race will open Brent’s challenge for his third ever CLS championship.  The Memphis, Tennessee native previously won the crown in 1999 and 2008.  It will be the first appearance at the longtime ocean side oval for both of his teenage sons who will be among the drivers vying for the 2018 CLS “Rookie of the Year” award.

In 2017, Brent made four appearances at Ventura and placed in the top ten each time.  His best finish was a fourth on June 3rd and that was followed by a ninth on August 2nd, a sixth on September 2nd and another ninth on October 7th.

In addition to the Sexton family and the other stars and cars of the CLS in action on Saturday, the Dwarf Cars, Senior Sprints, IMCA Modifieds, Hobby Stocks and Focus Midgets will also be racing.  Gates will open at 3:00 P.M. and racing will commence at 5:30.

The Ventura Raceway is adjacent to the beach on the Ventura County Fairgrounds at 10 W. Harbor Boulevard in Ventura (93001).  The track phone number is (805) 648-RACE and the website is at the following link http://venturaraceway.com/
