SEXTON GATLIN RACING BACK IN ACTION AT SANTA MARIA’S WINGED MADNESS #1 THIS SATURDAY

(Lakeside, CA, July 22, 2021)  After a six-week mid-summer break, Sexton Gatlin Racing will return to action this Saturday night, July 24, in the “California Lightning Sprint Car Series Summer Classic” at the Santa Maria Raceway.  The race will be part of “Wing Madness #1” that will also feature the NARC King of the West Winged Sprint Cars, RaceSaver Winged Sprint Cars and the Winged Legends of the Kearney Bowl.

Saturday’s SGR effort will be a family affair featuring Tennessee native Brent Sexton and his teenage sons Dalton and Grant.  When last seen on the track on June 12th, SGR swept the top two spots in the Lucas Oil POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car race at the Barona Speedway.  On that night, Grant bested teammate David Bezio in the main event.

Saturday’s race will be the second of the year for Lakeside, California based SGR in the CLS Series.  The team’s prior appearance came at the Bakersfield Speedway on April 10th when Brent ended up fourth and Grant placed one spot behind in fifth.

All told in 2021, Grant has made 10 starts and has three wins to show for it including the last three Lucas Oil POWRi SWLS Series races in a row.  Brent and Dalton have each started five races and both have one win.

It has been two years ago this month since SGR last competed at the Santa Maria Raceway.  At that race, Grant recorded his best finish up to that time when he placed second.  Proud dad Brent finished six spots behind in eighth.

For fans who want to journey to Santa Maria to see the SGR drivers and the other winged action this Saturday, the front gates will open at 4:00 p.m. with qualifying at 5:30 and the first race at 6:00. Santa Maria Raceway is located at 1900 Hutton Road in Nippomo (93444). The track website is, https://santamariaraceway.com/contact/ and the office phone number is (805) 710-4407.
