Eddie Tafoya Jr. Concludes His 2025 Sprint Car Season

 

Chino Hills, CA — November 12, 2025 — A broken torque tube with seven laps remaining in the Avanti Windows & Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series finale abruptly ended the season of Eddie Tafoya Jr. last Saturday at Perris Auto Speedway. Tafoya had been storming forward from a 15th-place start and looked primed for a big finish.

 

 


 

Driving the immaculate, family-owned Specialty Fasteners No. 51T, Tafoya was the 11th car on track in qualifying and posted a lap of 17.274 — good for 15th in a tightly packed session where the first 17 cars were separated by just 0.939 seconds.

 

The 28-year-old — a former Perris Auto Speedway Young Guns champion and the 2019 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year — started the 30-lap season finale mired mid-pack. What followed was, by many insiders’ accounts, the best race of the year on the famous half-mile Riverside County clay oval: hard racing, constant position swings, and battles up and down the field.

 

Tafoya was in the thick of it, picking off cars and cracking the top 10. With seven laps to go, he looked ready to push even higher when the torque tube failed, forcing him to limp back to the pits. As the Chino Hills, California, racer later ruefully noted, it was the first torque-tube failure of his career.

 

Tafoya finished 2025 having contested 25 nights of racing, tallying 10 top 10s and four top-five finishes. His season-best result came Sept. 13 at Perris, where he finished fourth. Even without a full schedule in USAC/CRA, he still secured 11th in the season-long championship standings.

 

Work on the Specialty Fasteners No. 51T begins immediately for 2026: the car will be torn down to the bare frame and inspected inch by inch as the team prepares to come back strong next season.

 

Tafoya can be followed on Instagram at @eddietafoya51.

 

Team Tafoya Racing would like to thank Specialty Fasteners, BR Motorsports, King Racing Products, Gasper Transportation, CMI Precision Machining, Owen’s Insurance Services, Keen Concrete, DRC Chassis, and Rider Racing Engines for their continued support of the 2025 season.  If you would like to join forces with the team for another fun and exciting year of racing in 2026, please contact Tafoya at Eddie Tafoya Jr. at (909) 393-3999 or mailto:teamtafoya@aol.com

 

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Capture World of Outlaws Championship After Strong Showing at World of Outlaws World Finals

Inside Line Promotions – CONCORD, N.C. (Nov. 10, 2025) – Big Game Motorsports capped a second straight championship season with a winning performance during the World of Outlaws World Finals at The Dirt Track at Charlotte last weekend.

David Gravel placed second on Thursday and was victorious on Friday before the event ended with a DNF on Saturday. The overall performance was strong enough for the team to garner the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series championship for the second year in a row.

“It was an awesome season,” he said. “It started off strong. We were just so consistent this year. Sprint car racing is just so tough. I’m so proud of what we were able to do this year, the full body of work from beginning to end. I think all of us at Big Game Motorsports feel that way.”

Gravel timed in second quickest in his group, won a heat race and placed second in both the dash and feature on Thursday – ending less than a second behind the leader after running second for all 25 laps.

On Friday, Gravel, who had set quick time in his group, won a heat race and finished sixth in the dash to line up on the outside of the third row in the main event.

“I felt like the bottom of (turns) one and two wasn’t very good, but in (turns) three and four I felt pretty good,” he said in a post-race interview on DIRTVision. “I wasn’t having good exit speed, but was really gaining to the center. I just kept working it. I changed my entry a lot of times there in (turns) three and four at the end. The more I got in the brown, the better, and more I gained on (Rico Abreu). He definitely started hanging for sure. He was struggling there in (turns) one and two. I got faster than him in the cushion, and he was definitely hanging on. It’s good to get a win.”

Gravel worked his way into the runner-up position by Lap 15 before pouncing in the waning laps, leading the final two circuits to give him a triumph during seven of the last nine years at the track.

Gravel was the high-points driver entering the season finale on Saturday. A heat race win and dash victory gave him the pole position for the main event. He led the first 14 laps before contact with the wall resulted in an early exit with a 25th-place result.

“What a season,” he said. “I’m just really proud of my guys. I feel really bad for them tonight with what happened, but it doesn’t put a black eye on your whole season. It’s been such a good year. I just can’t believe how consistent we were all season. These guys produced every night, and I can’t thank them enough.”

Dover Scores Two Seventh-Place Finishes During POWRi Event in Texas

Inside Line Promotions – FORT WORTH, Texas (Nov. 10, 2025) – Jack Dover produced a pair of seventh-place results last weekend at The Dirt Track at Texas Motor Speedway during a POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League doubleheader.

“Overall, I’d say I was eight out of a 10 pleased with it,” the Tim Estenson Motorsports driver said. “I made some errors and we could have made the car a little better. Realistically, we should have been a top-five car both nights. Considering I’d never been there before and having almost 40 cars there, it was pretty respectable.”

Dover qualified 17th quickest to open Friday’s racing program. A seventh-place result in a heat race was followed by a charge from fifth to second place in the B Main. That transferred Dover into the back of the main event. He hustled from 18th to seventh place to garner the Hard Charger Award for passing the most cars.

“Qualifying and the heat race didn’t go very well so that put us in the B Main,” he said. “We made it through that by gaining some spots and then the car was really good in the A Main. It was probably one of the better races I’ve had all year. I was able to maneuver wherever. Top, bottom, middle, it didn’t matter. We got really strong the last 10 laps.”

Saturday showed improvement as Dover timed in 13th quickest in qualifying. A heat race win locked him directly into the main event. He picked up a pair of positions to place seventh in the event finale.

“We got a little better in qualifying and won our heat race,” he said. “We started further forward in the feature and was able to advance a couple of spots. Almost every time we hit the track all weekend we moved ahead so it was a good weekend.”

Next up, Dover will make his debut at Vado Speedway Park in Vado, N.M., this Friday and Saturday.

QUICK RESULTS –

Nov. 7 – The Dirt Track at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas – Qualifying: 17; Heat race: 7 (5); B Main: 2 (5); Feature: 7 (18). 

Nov. 8 – The Dirt Track at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas – Qualifying: 13; Heat race: 1 (1); Feature: 7 (9). 

SEASON STATS –

49 races, 2 wins, 16 top fives, 26 top 10s, 31 top 15s, 35 top 20s
