WORLD
OF OUTLAWS OPEN PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY’S
23RD SEASON ON SATURDAY!
By Scott
Daloisio
(Perris, CA, February 27, 2018)
When the World of Outlaws
Craftsman Sprint Car Series makes its only
Southern California appearance of 2018 at
the “SoCal Showdown” at Perris Auto
Speedway this Saturday night, March 3rd,
it will mark the opening of the 23rd
consecutive season of racing at the famous
Riverside County dirt oval. In addition to
the World of Outlaws, the USAC/CRA Sprint
Cars and The PAS Senior & Young Gun
Sprints will also be in action. Spectator
gates will open at 4:00 P.M. and the first
race will take the green flag at 7:00.
“It is going
to be one heck of a 23rd season opener,”
Perris Auto Speedway promoter Don Kazarian
said with a smile on Monday. “It is so
hard to believe that this is the 23rd
season as it has all gone by so fast. We
have crammed a lot of racing into the
first 22-years and it is only appropriate
that we kick off this season by combining
two of our most popular shows. The world’s
fastest dirt track sprint cars, the World
of Outlaws, and the resident USAC/CRA
Sprint Cars. They are two totally
different disciplines of sprint car racing
and each group will supply some fabulous
racing action for the fans. They will get
to see some of the greatest drivers from
each group all in one night.”
Both groups
will be chomping at the bit by the time
Saturday’s race rolls around. The race
will be the kickoff of the 15th season for
USAC/CRA and the first race for the club
since last November’s Budweiser Oval
Nationals presented by All Coast
Construction. For the Outlaws, who opened
their season a couple of weeks ago in
Florida, but who lost both of last
weekend’s races in Texas, it will mark
their first California appearance of the
2018 campaign.
Saturday will
be the World of Outlaws 19th appearance at
The PAS. Last year a field of 26-Outlaw
cars showed up and Watertown,
Connecticut’s David Gravel became the 10th
different Outlaw winner at the track when
he bested the field. On Saturday, he will
try to become only the fifth different
Outlaws winner at The PAS. Indiana’s Mark
Kinser is the tracks all-time leading
Outlaws winner with five victories (he won
the first five Outlaw main events at the
track from November 1st, 1996 through
October 31st, 1998). Other multiple
winners at the track are Oklahoma’s Daryn
Pittman, who has three wins, and Indiana’s
Joey Saldana and Danny Lasoski of Missouri
who have two victories each. Lasoski holds
the all-time track record with a sizzling
lap of 13.825 set in 2002.

Fans who

Outlaws Fan Pit Pass.” The pit pass will
allow fans access to the World of Outlaws
pit area located outside of turn one
throughout the night of action. Fans will
be able to see the cars up close, watch
the crews at work, meet the drivers,
obtain autographs, take photos and
purchase merchandise directly from the
teams.
“The World of
Outlaws Fan Pit Pass puts the fans in the
heat of the action,” Kazarian said. “They
can see the cars on the track and then
watch the teams make necessary adjustments
seconds later when they return to the
pits. The pass also allows fans to
interact with their favorite World of
Outlaws drivers. There is nothing like it
in the NBA, NHL, NFL or Major League
Baseball.”
