  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.”.

You can see the aforementioned crash at the following link. The crash takes place at 2:25. The video of courtesy of David Blair’s Four Videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5JTBdy2aFA

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. Please give photo credit to Doug Allen.

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.

Adult tickets for Saturday’s show are $15.00. Active military with proper id, teens 13-18 with their school id and kids 6-12 get in for just $5.00. Children 5 and under are free. Parking on the fairgrounds is $8.00.
