PASSCAR STOCK CAR SERIES AND IMCA
MODIFIEDS AT PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY
SATURDAY!
By Scott
Daloisio
(Perris, CA, April 3, 2017)
This Saturday night, April 8th,
Perris Auto Speedway will host round #2 of
the PASSCAR Stock Car Series and the IMCA
Modifieds. Four different classes will be
competing on the famous Riverside County
half-mile clay oval. Spectator gates will
open at 5:00 and the first race will be at
7:00.
The track
hosted a great season opener for the stock
car set on March 11th with Lomita’s Mike
Kirby winning in the Modifieds, three-time
track champion Luke Dodd of Riverside
prevailing in the Street Stocks, fellow
Riverside resident Fred Estrada taking top
honors in the Super Stocks and El Cajon’s
Chris Evans coming home first in the
American Factory Stocks.
Those winners
may have been over shadowed by what
happened in the Modified main. A 13-car
crash on lap one eliminated nine of the
22-car starting field and left fans,
drivers and officials talking of the
tangle.
“That was the
biggest and wildest stock car night crash
we have had in years,” promoter Don
Kazarian said. “The good part is nobody
was injured. The bad part is it tore up a
lot of race cars. Hopefully all the
drivers will have their cars repaired and
ready to go on Saturday night. The
Modified portion of the show has been
getting better and better over the past
three years since IMCA came back to The
PAS. Bigger fields and lots of
non-regulars show up to make it one of the
toughest tracks to win on in California.”
Kirby, who has
won in more different types of cars than
other driver in The PAS 22-year history,
took that main despite sustaining some
damage in the “Big One.”.

Estrada had
sat out of racing for quite some time. In
December at The PAS, he won his first main
event in well over 20-years. He backed up
that victory with an impressive green to
checkered win over defending class
champion Mike Lerwell of El Cajon at the
season opener. Toughest part of the race
came when Estrada and Lerwell came up on a
lapped car who was in the middle of the
racing line coming off on turn four on the
last lap. Estrada got into the lapper, but
managed to save it and get across the line
first.
Riverside’s
Fred Estrada won the season opening
PASSCAR Super Stock main on March 11th.

Like Estrada
in the Super Stocks, Dodd started on the
front row and led every inch of the way
for his initial Street Stock win of 2017.
James Altman Jr. of Lake Elsinore, who won
his first PAS main event in 2016, led the
first seven laps in the Factory Stock main
before relinquishing the spot to Evans and
eventually finished second. Altman brings
a six-point lead over 2015 champion Jeff
Elder of Redlands heading into Saturday’s
race.

military with proper id, teens 13-18 with
