BRODY ROA STARTS SPRINT CAR SEASON WITH A WIN AT LAS VEGAS!

Last Wednesday in Las Vegas, Nevada, where a lot of dreams gets squashed, Brody Roa kicked off his 2019 Sprint Car racing campaign on a dream come true night when he swept the USAC West Coast Series program on the Dirt Track at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The veteran racer followed that up with a fourth-place finish in “Sin City” the following night and a third-place finish at the USAC Southwest Series opener at Central Arizona Raceway on Saturday.

Jumping into the Tanner Grau Racing white #34 for the very first time, Roa let everyone know he meant business early on when he out qualified the Wednesday field of 19-cars with a sizzling lap of 18.533. He followed that run up with a win in the first heat race on the big half-mile oval.

The fast time and win in the heat placed Roa on the outside of the third row for the main event. From there, the “Pride of Garden Grove” wasted little time in making his way to the front of the pack. He had advanced to third as the field came off turn two on the first circuit and was second by the end of the lap. He mounted his initial challenge for the lead using the inside in turns three and four on lap five. Those challenges were thwarted, but one lap later in the same spot, he snatched the lead away and drove off into the bright lights of Vegas for his first win of 2019. When the checkered flag ended the 20-lapper, Roa had more than a half straight advantage over his nearest competitor.

“This thing was just on rails all night,” the happy winner told the crowd after climbing out of the car. “It drove itself pretty much. This thing would go wherever I wanted it to go. Wherever I pointed it! I cannot thank Tanner and these guys enough. He definitely puts one bad piece together.”

The second night in Las Vegas, Roa timed in with a lap of 19.547 in qualifying, which was good enough for fifth-fastest in the 19-car field. A second-place finish in his eight-lap heat placed him in the sixth starting spot again for the main.

The 28-year-old worked his way up to third in the main before slipping back to fifth. In a hard-fought battle, he clawed his way back to the fourth spot by the finish. The two-night total of a win and a fourth-place saw Roa leave Las Vegas second in the West Coast Series point standings and only seven points out of the lead.

The Silver State quickly disappeared into the rear-view mirror for Roa and his wife Tailor as they journeyed to the Copper State for Saturday’s Southwest Series opener at Central Arizona Raceway in Casa Grande.

Eighteen cars showed up for the “Cotton Classic,” which was the first ever 410 race for the Southwest Series. Roa rebounded from a disappointing 15th fast qualifying time to win his heat race. Even with the heat race triumph, he had to start on the inside of the seventh row for the 30-lap main. From there, he dazzled the fans with a clinic on passing. He sliced and diced his way through the field and crossed under the checkered flag in third place. Passing 10 cars was more than anyone else in the main and he earned the “Hard Charger Award” for the crowd-pleasing effort.

This Friday and Saturday, March 8th and 9th, Roa and the BRP team headed by 2018 USAC Crew Chief of the Year Zac Bozanich, head to Canyon Speedway Park for the Amsoil USAC/CRA season openers. The joint race will also be rounds two and three for the Southwest Series and Roa comes into the race third in Southwest Series points, only five-markers out of first.

BRODY ROA KICKS OFF SPRINT CAR SEASON AT LAS VEGAS AND ARIZONA!

The winter rest is over and tomorrow night Brody Roa will kick off a planned 44-race sprint car season on the “Dirt Track” at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. After racing two night’s in “Sin City,” the Garden Grove, California racer will journey south to the Central Arizona Raceway in Casa Grande for the opener in the USAC Southwest Sprint Car Series.

Unlike the other 44-races on his busy schedule, Roa will not be in his familiar #91R at Las Vegas. Instead, the now 28-year-old will be appearing in Tanner Grau’s #34 for the two-night USAC West Coast Series opener. A past champion in the series, Roa has been a factor in Vegas in the lid-lifter the past two years. In four races staged there, he has one win, a third-place finish and a ninth. His only finish out of the top 10 came last year when he was fighting for the lead when a part malfunction and knocked him out of the race and into a 19th place finish.

After a night off following the Vegas races, Roa will head to Casa Grande, which is located between Phoenix and Tucson, for the first of three times in 2019. It will also be the first of Roa’s championship aspiration races for the year. As well as pursuing the championship in the USAC/CRA Series, Roa also plans a full-fledged effort in the USAC Southwest’s Series.

There will be little time off for Roa and the crew to rest after Saturday’s race. A week from Friday and Saturday, March 8th and 9th, they will kick off the 2019 USAC/CRA campaign at Arizona’s Canyon Speedway Park. The team will open their 2019 California schedule at Perris Auto Speedway on March 30th.

WITH CHILI BOWL OVER, BRODY ROA FOCUSES ON SPRINT CAR SEASON!

Fresh off his appearance in the 33rd Annual Chili Bowl Midget Nationals in Tulsa, Oklahoma earlier this month, Brody Roa and his B.R. Performance team are preparing for the start of what promises to be a busy 2019 sprint car season. Next up for the famous green #91R crew will be the opening round of the USAC Southwest Sprint Car Series at Central Arizona Raceway on March 2nd.

Roa, who turned 28-years-old last Friday, was in the Kevin Ramey #7M for the Chili Bowl and started things off when he finished second after starting fifth in his preliminary night heat race. He again started fifth in his qualifier but was relegated to the back after catching the inside berm and bicycling the car early in the 10-lapper. An impressive late race charge saw him storm back to finish fifth and earn his ticket into the main event where he started in the seventh row before finishing 13th.

Roa’s Tuesday performance earned him a spot in one of the two C mains for the Saturday night finale in Tulsa. Considering that the festivities started with two O mains early Saturday morning, the C main was a decent spot to be in. A 12th place starting spot, combined with a tough field, saw the likable Roa finish in the same spot as he started, and his Chili Bowl was over for 2019.

With the Chili Bowl now in the rear-view mirror, the Garden Grove, California racer is gearing up for the race at Central Arizona Speedway to kick off the sprint car season. The following week he will head back to the Copper State for the opening two rounds of the USAC/CRA Series which will be co-sanctioned with rounds two and three of the Southwest Series. In addition to the USAC/CRA and Southwest Series, Roa will also take on the stars and cars of the USAC National Sprint Car Series including the grueling Indiana Sprint Week in July. In the nine months from the season opener to the season closer back in Arizona, Roa will race 42 sprint car races in four different states in 2019.

Team merchandise, including shirts and caps, will be available at all races throughout the 2019 campaign and is available online at https://www.brodyroa.com/?post_type=product.

BRODY ROA HEADS TO CHILI BOWL MIDGET NATIONALS IN OKLAHOMA!

Fresh off the most successful year in his racing career, Garden Grove, California’s Brody Roa will kick off the 2019 season at the prestigious Chili Bowl Midget Nationals in Tulsa, Oklahoma on Tuesday, January 15th. He will follow that up at the finale of midget racing’s biggest event on January 19th. 

At the Chili Bowl, Roa will be driving the beautiful #7M midget owned by Kevin Ramey, the 2018 Racesaver IMCA Sprint Cars National Champion and 2015 ASCS Gulf South Region Sprint Car Champion. Roa was recommended to the Kennedale, Texas-based Ramey by famous open-wheel photographer Tim Aylwin. 

“I am pretty honored to be running for Kevin Ramey at the Chili Bowl this year,” the soon to be 28-year-old Roa said on San Diego’s Racer Radio Show. “His stuff is real nice. Every time I have been around him and seen him go around the track, I have been a fan. It is pretty cool to have a car like that and hopefully we can do real well with it.”

“It was kind of funny,” Roa laughed when asked how he got hooked up with Ramey. “One of his buddies on Facebook (Aylwin) messaged me and told me to call him. It was so quick, I was not sure if I was dreaming or not. I got the message and I called him, and he said, ‘you wanna’ run Chili Bowl.’ I said, ‘yeah, of course!’ It is a good deal. They are putting a real nice piece together for that.” 

The car Ramey is putting together is a Spike Chassis with a powerful Esslinger engine. Sponsored by Jambo Barbeque Pits, Presice Racing Products, Graham Wrecker Service and Hoosier Tires, the #7M will first hit the track in Tulsa at the Monday practice session.

In addition to squaring off against many of the best midget and sprint car racers in the world, Roa will be competing against drivers from several other disciplines including NASCAR, NHRA, INDYCAR and dirt & pavement late model and modified racers. On Roa’s preliminary night, NASCAR Monster Cup regulars Kyle Larson and Alex Bowman will be among his competitors.

The 33rd Annual Chili Bowl Midget Nationals will take place on the Tulsa Expo Center Raceway inside the River Spirit Expo Center. Fans who cannot attend the Chili Bowl can watch all six nights via pay per view on the Racin Boys Network (http://www.racinboys.com/). In addition, Saturday’s finale will be shown live on MAVTV.

BRODY ROA FINISHES USAC/CRA SEASON – TURKEY NIGHT GRAND PRIX NEXT!

Garden Grove, California Sprint Car racer Brody Roa wrapped up the USAC/CRA portion of his 2018 racing season at the 23rd Annual Oval Nationals at Perris Auto Speedway. This Wednesday and Thursday, Roa will put the wraps on the entire year when he competes in the 78th running of the Turkey Night Grand Prix at the Ventura Raceway.

The three-day Oval Nationals in Perris matched the cream of the crop from the Midwest-based USAC National Sprint Car Series and the best of the west’s USAC/CRA Series. On the first night, 42-cars signed into the pit area and Roa, 27, timed in 10th fastest in qualifying with a lap of 16.820. He followed that up with a third-place finish in his ten-lap heat race. For the main, he started in the ninth spot and moved forward for his best finish of the three nights when he placed seventh.

The second night at the wind-swept track started bright enough for Roa who put down a lap of 17.069 which was good enough for the ninth spot in the 41-car field. Another third-place finish in his heat locked him into the main event where he was again starting in the ninth position.

Unfortunately, chaos bit the BR Performance team on the first lap of the main. A tangle in front of Roa happened coming off turn four. Roa was tagged from behind from cars also trying to sort their way through the mess and he subsequently ended up flipping. Thankfully, he and all the other drivers emerged unhurt.

The crew quickly got the car back to the work area for repairs. They were helped by other CRA and National teams and the thrash was on. They got everything they could find repaired and ready to go. However, when they tried to turn the car around for the restart, it was found to have a broken steering gear and it was done for the night. In an amazing testimony to the driver and the entire team, in 38 sprint car starts for the year, it is the only race the bright green #91R did not finish!

For the final USAC/CRA race of the year, Roa had to go to his backup car after the tangle the previous night. The affable star timed in 16th quickest in the field with a lap of 17.158. He followed that up with a second-place finish in his heat race. He began the main event outside the fifth row in 10-spot and closed his CRA year by placing ninth.

As the dust has settled on the 2018 USAC/CRA campaign, Roa and the #91R team have a lot to be proud of. A close second place finish in the standings. In 23 USAC/CRA races they had three wins, 17 top fives, and 21 top tens. They finished 22 of the 23 main events they started in the series.

In addition to three triumphs in USAC/CRA competition, the team took home the winner’s trophy two of the four times it started in the USAC West Coast Series. Also, Roa won the main event at Ventura in his only VRA appearance of the year.

Roa’s season will come to an end this Wednesday and Thursday in the sprint car portion of the Turkey Night Grand Prix at Ventura. Fans wishing to catch Roa in action one last time in 2018 can find the Ventura Raceway just off the 101 on the Ventura County Fairgrounds. The track address is 10 West Harbor Boulevard (93001).

BRODY ROA READY FOR 23RD ANNUAL OVAL NATIONALS!

Garden Grove, California’s Brody Roa is ready for three of the biggest nights in his racing career at the 23rd Annual Budweiser Oval Nationals Presented by All Coast Construction at Perris Auto Speedway. The three-night affair will be comprised of preliminaries on Thursday and Friday, November 8th & 9th, and the season finale on Saturday, November 10th.

Roa, 27, has been embroiled in a seesaw battle for the USAC/CRA championship all season long. He enters this weekend’s race at the famous Riverside County half-mile clay oval in second place, but is only 5-points out of the lead. It was at last year’s Oval Nationals that Roa won the biggest race of his career when he bested a field comprised of élite drivers from the USAC National and USAC/CRA series.’

Roa was in action last weekend at the prestigious 51st Western World Championships at the Arizona Speedway. On Friday, the friendly driver qualified 17th in the 30-car field and won his heat race. For the main he started 15th and stayed in that spot most of the way. However, a late race charge saw the green #91R move forward to a seventh-place finish to earn the “Hard Charger Award.” The following night, Roa qualified 20th in the 29-car field and finished third in his heat race. After starting 17th, he again advanced forward in the main event and finished 13th.

This weekend’s three-day show at Perris will feature a purse of more than $131,000.00 with the winner on Thursday and Friday taking home $5,000.00. The winner on Saturday will pocket $25,000.00.

ROA FINISHES 4TH AT PERRIS – LEADS POINTS BY 20 GOING INTO ARIZONA!

Brody Roa racked up another top-five finish when he came home fourth in the USAC/CRA Sprint Car main event last Saturday night at Perris Auto Speedway. Heading into the November 2nd and 3rd 51st Annual Western World Championships at the Arizona Speedway, Roa leads the 2018 standings by 20 points with five races to go.

Fans and teams were greeted by unseasonably warm temperatures when they arrived at the Riverside County half-mile clay oval on Saturday. All told, 24 USAC/CRA teams were in the pits for the 19th race of the 2018 campaign. When qualifying concluded, Roa was fifth fast with a lap of 16.765.

Roa started fifth and finished second in his 10-lap heat race in the eye-catching, freshly painted bright green 91R. That earned him the outside front row starting position for the 30-lap main.

The Garden Grove, California racer led the first seven circuits of the main, but he eventually slipped all the way back to the fifth-place spot just before the halfway point. However, on the 16th-lap, he started to move forward and was back to fourth. He regained the third-place position on the 23rd circuit and seemed destined to finish there. But, a slight bobble on the final corner saw him slip back to fourth.

The fourth-place finish reflects the amazing consistency that Roa has put up during the 2018 season. It was his 17th top-five finish in the 19 USAC/CRA aces to date.

This past week there was no racing on the schedule and Roa and his wife Tailor celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary. Things will change in the next two weeks on the racing end as there will be no less than five dates to decide the USAC/CRA championship. The 51st Western World Championships at Arizona Speedway will match the best in USAC/CRA and the USAC National Sprint Car Series’ over two days on November 2nd and 3rd. The following week, both groups will clash again at the 23rd Annual Oval Nationals at Perris. It was at the Ovals last year that Roa captured the biggest win of his career when he stomped the competition to score a convincing win in the Friday preliminary.

Brody Roa t-shirts and caps will be available in the pits at Arizona and Perris. They are also available from the team’s website at the following link http://www.brodyroa.com/. The cost is $20.00 plus shipping.

Those finishes extended his streak to eight straight races finishing in the top five in USAC/CRA competition. In those eight events he has posted one win, four second place finishes, one third, a fourth and a fifth-place. All told, he has 16 top five finishes in 18 starts with USAC/CRA in 2018. Three of the top five have been victories. He has also scored two wins in the USAC West Coast Sprint Car Series, one with the Ventura Racing Association Sprint Cars and even two with the So Cal Oval Karters.

In five USAC/CRA races at Perris Auto Speedway this year, Roa has recorded two second-place finishes, one third, one fifth and his worst finish of the season, an 11th on May 26th.

Once this weekend’s race is over, the season will be down to two multi-day shows. The 51st Western World Championship at Arizona Speedway on November 1st and 2nd and the 23rd Annual Oval Nationals at Perris Auto Speedway on November 8th, 9th and 10th. Both shows will feature full points paying races for the USAC/CRA and USAC National Sprint Car Series.’ Roa has contested nine National series races this season with a fifth-place finish at Iowa’s Knoxville Raceway on June 9th being his best result.

ROA POSTS A PAIR OF TOP THREE FINISHES IN ARIZONA!

The great season for USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series point leader Brody Roa continued when he posted a second and third place finish in the two-night Hall of Fame Classic at the Arizona Speedway on September 28th and 29th. The finishes see him carrying a 30-point lead heading into the next race at Perris Auto Speedway on October 20th.

On opening night at the 1/3 of a mile-high banked clay oval in San Tan Valley, Arizona, Roa timed in fifth quick in the 21-car field with a lap of 15.299. That placed him on the inside of the third row in his heat race. It was a heat that proved to be tough, but the 27-year-old advanced to third at the checkered flag.

For the first night main, the Garden Grove, California based driver started on the outside of the second row. At the end of the first circuit, he was third and went one spot better by the end of the fifth lap. He set his sights on the leader, but eventually slipped back to third on the eight go around.

It took ten laps, but Roa eventually wheeled the #91R back to second. The veteran driver got involved in a great battle for the second-place spot and eventually closed in on the leader in lapped traffic late in the race, but a victory was not to be, and he settled for a hard-earned runner-up finish. It was his fifth, second-place outing in the USAC/CRA Series this year.

“We were pretty good for two or three laps after a restart when the tire cooled down,” the point leader said after the race. “After that, we were just hanging on.”

The second night of the Hall of Fame Classic did not start off as well as the first night did. Roa qualified nearly one-second slower than the previous night with a lap of 16.270. That was only good for 15th fastest in the 21-car field. Things improved when he started on the outside of the front row and led every inch of the way to win his 10-lap heat race.

The qualifying attempt continued to haunt Roa into the main event when he had to start on the outside of the seventh row in the 14th position. He did not stay back there long! Using every inch of the track from the top to the bottom, he immediately began to march towards the front of the pack. By the end of the first lap he had advanced to 12th and by the end of the fifth lap, he had moved up seven more spots to break into the top five.

The crowd-pleasing charge continued when he captured the fourth spot on the 11th go around and ten laps later he took third. Roa eventually chased down the second-place car and pulled even at the white flag. However, he was on the bottom and two lapped cars slowed his progress and he was forced to settle for third.

“We did some things on the car for the main and to come from 14th to third is a big deal for this team,” the affable driver told the crowd afterward. “We can show up with a better package next time. The driver kind of screwed us in qualifying tonight. I think we would have had something for them (the first and second place finishers) if we had not started so deep.”

Counting the October 20th race at Perris, there are only six races remaining in the 2018 campaign.

Brody Roa t-shirts and caps will be available in the pits at Perris. They are also available from the team’s website at the following link http://www.brodyroa.com/. The cost is $20.00 plus shipping.
