PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY HOSTS 2ND NIGHT OF PASSCAR/IMCA SERIES’

by Scott Daloisio
PERRIS, CA (April 7) - After a week off for Easter, Perris Auto Speedway gets back in action this Saturday night, April 11th, with round #2 of the PASSCAR Stock Car Series featuring the Street Stocks, Super Stocks, American Factory Stocks and the IMCA Modifieds.  Spectator gates for Saturday’s quadruple header show will open at 5:00 PM with racing at 7:00.

As is the case for the first seven (eight for Street Stocks) PASSCAR races of the year, Saturday’s winners of the main events in the Street Stocks, Super Stocks and American Factory Stocks, will earn their tickets into the championship deciding PASSCAR Pursuit Finale on October 24th  (as long as they are PASSCAR members).  2013 Super Stock champion Dennis Wooldridge of Riverside won the season opening Super Stock main to book his ticket into the finale.  Likewise, Blaine Whitson, who won the 2014 Super Stock championship, won the Street Stock season opener and David Murray of Yucaipa won the American Factory Stock main in his first ever race on March 14th.

Dennis Wooldridge of Riverside won the season opening PASSCAR Super Stock main event at Perris Auto Speedway on March 14th.  Please give photo credit to Doug Allen.

Perhaps the best main event of the season opening night of stock car racing was the IMCA Modified 20-lapper.  Stars Mike Kirby of Torrance, Hemet’s David Lord, 2014 PAS champion Dalton Everhart of Perris, Riverside’s David Clark and 2013 PAS champion Billy Griffin of Buena Park ran in the top five almost all race long before Griffin prevailed for a well-deserved win.  

Unlike the PASSCAR championships, the IMCA track champion will be decided by season long points.  In addition to track points, every time the Modifieds race at The PAS they will also earn regional and national points.

Buena Park’s Billy Griffin, #18m, won the season opening IMCA Modified main event at Perris Auto Speedway on March 14th.  Hemet’s David Lord, shown here on the outside, finished second.  Please give photo credit to Doug Allen.    

In addition to main events, Saturday’s quadruple header racing extravaganza will include heats for all classes and A Main Events.  If applicable, B Main Events will also take place.

In addition to a night of great racing, there will be an intermission dance contest for kids 12 and under with the top dancers taking home prizes.  

Spectator gates will open at 5:00 PM on Saturday and racing will begin at 7:00.  Adult tickets are $15.00.  For active military members with proper id, teens 13-18 with their school id and kids 6-12, it is just $5.00.  Children 5 and under will be admitted free.
