It took four months, but Cathedral City,
California’s Art Peterson is back in his customary spot of
leading the point standings in the Art’s Concrete Pumping
Extreme Late Models at Perris Auto Speedway.
The Late Models will head a four-division show at The
PAS this Saturday night, July 14th. Joining the
Late Models will be the MC Builders Super Stocks, PASSCAR
Street Stocks and the crazy Pick-A-Part Cruisers.
Spectator gates will open at 5:00 PM with racing at
6:30.
Peterson,
who won the last Extreme Truck Series title at the track two
year ago and the inaugural Late Model title last year,
grabbed the point lead with a third place finish the last
time the Late Models raced at The PAS on June 16th.
On that night, he trailed the father and son combo of
Ron and Nick Bartels (El Segundo, California) to the
checkered flag. In
taking the point lead, Peterson heads a Bartels’
Harley-Davidson freight train in the point standings as
Bartels drivers occupy the next four spots in the ranks.
Young Nick Bartels, who has led the standings most of
the season, is two point behind Peterson heading into this
weekend’s dirt track war.
Nick’s grandpa and Ron’s father, Bill Bartels
(Marina Del Rey, California), is third in the standings only
four point behind his grandson.
Next in line in fourth and some 46-points behind the
leader is Ron Bartels while Torrance, California’s Carla
Laney – you guessed it, her main sponsor is Bartels’
Harley Davidson – rounds out the top five. Saturday’s
Late Model portion of the show will be capped by a 25-lap
main event.
Veteran
Ed Perry, of Carpinteria, California, will be out to make it
two in a row when the MC Builders Super Stocks return on
Saturday night. Perry
and teammate Mark Shackelford of Riverside, California, will
continue their season long battle for supremacy in the
class. Shackelford
will again be doing double duty Saturday.
He will qualify his ASA Late Model at the Orange Show
Speedway in San Bernardino before heading to The PAS to race
his heat and main event.
As soon as the main event ends at The PAS, he will be
on his way back to Orange Show for the main event on the
paved quarter mile.
Torrance,
California’s Kenny “The Main” Mann, Jim Coates of
Riverside, California and Moreno Valley, California’s
Curtis Dietzsch will return as the top three in the
standings when the popular Street Stocks take to the track
on Saturday night. The
Riverside duo of Tom and Jeff Gillum will still have a
commanding advantage in the championship chase when the
Pick-A-Part Cruisers take to the famous half-mile clay oval
this Saturday.
Families
can save on Saturday with the popular PAS Family 4-Pack.
Mom, Dad and two kids will get into Saturday’s
races for $40.00 and they will also get four hot dogs and
four sodas. All
they have to do is ask for the Family 4-Pack at the ticket
window.
Saturday’s
fendered fracas will including qualifying for the Late
Models and heat races and main events for all of the
classes. It
will also include a few pushes, bumps, crashes and bruised
feelings along the way.
In
addition to Saturday's race on the half-mile clay oval,
there will be drag racing on Friday at the popular Street
Legal Strip at The PAS where you can race your own car for
just $30.00. Gates at the will open at 5:00 PM with
