For Immediate Release

SEXTON/GATLIN RACING OPENS CALIFORNIA LIGHTNING SPRINT SEASON SATURDAY AT BAKERSFIELD!

(Lakeside, CA, March 12, 2019) The Sexton/Gatlin Racing Team will open the 2019 racing season this Saturday night, March 16th, when the POWRi California Lightning Sprint Car Series heads to “The West’s Fastest 1/3 Mile High Banked Clay Oval,” the Bakersfield Speedway.  Spectator gates will open at 5:00 P.M. and the first race will be at 7:00. 

Lakeside, California based Sexton/Gatlin Racing is comprised of 1999 and 2008 series champion Brent Sexton and his teenage sons Dalton and Grant.  In 2018, Brent, a native of Memphis, Tennessee, placed fourth in the CLS championship standings.  The younger of his two sons, 14-year-old Grant, was the series “Rookie of the Year” and ended up eighth in the season-long standings.  Dalton, 16, missed several races due to high school football commitments, but still managed to finish second to his brother in the rookie chase and 12th in the overall standings.

Last Season, Brent led the family with three second-place finishes.  In addition, he finished in the top three seven times, the top five eight times and the top ten 15 times.  Dalton’s best finish of the year was a third on the night all three finished in the top 10 (Grant placed sixth and Brent took 9th) at Ventura on October 27th.  All told, Dalton placed in the top 10 four times.  Grant’s best finish of the year came at Perris Auto Speedway when he held off his dad to finish fourth in the main on August 18th.  When the season ended, Grant finished in the top 10 five times.

Brent and Grant will be in brand new Henchcraft cars for 2019.  Brent will be in a 2019 model while Grant will be steering a 2018.  Dalton will be in the same 2017 Henchcraft he drove last year.  Plans are for all three to compete for the 2019 championship.
