LKQ
PICK YOUR PART NIGHT OF DESTRUCTION
SATURDAY AT PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY!
By Scott
Daloisio
(Perris, CA, February 19, 2019)
Perris Auto Speedway will try again to
open its 24th consecutive season of racing
action this Saturday night, February 23rd,
when LKQ Pick Your Part presents Night of
Destruction #1. Spectator gates will open
at 5:00 P.M. There will be an on-track
photo and autograph session at 5:15 and
the first race of the 2019 campaign will
take the green flag at 7:00.

Over the past
half-decade, the Nights of Destruction
have become the track’s most popular
attraction. Starting off with Figure 8
Racing, Figure 8 Trailer Racing and
Democross (Democross is an oval race and
Demolition Derby all in one), the crowd
size has grown every year for the
fast-paced 2 ½ hour show. This year
promoter Don Kazarian is bringing in two
more classes, Mini Stocks and
Double-deckers, to give the fans even more
bang for their buck.
The Mini
Stocks debuted with a pair of races near
the end of 2018. With short notice, the
field had 16 cars for the second time out
and is expected to grow. The Mini Stocks
are kind of like Democross in that contact
is allowed. However, unlike Democross, the
Mini Stocks compete on a road course cut
through the track’s infield.
The
Double-deckers are a wild creation that is
sure to please the crowd. They will
feature one car mounted on top of another.
The driver in the car on the bottom will
control the gas pedal and the brakes. The
driver in the car on top will control the
steering.
“Double-deckers race at a handful of
tracks around the country and are
extremely popular with the Night of
Destruction crowds,” Kazarian said with a
smile. “We expect them to be hugely
popular here at The PAS and to be a
regular part of the show. Fans want to see
crazy daredevils and that is what we are
going to give them. It is going to be a
very fun season”
Both of last
year’s Night of Destruction Champions are
expected to be on hand on Saturday. Third
generation racer Kyle Cox of Huntington
Beach will attempt to defend his titles in
the Figure 8 Trailer and Democross classes
as well as his Overall Ironman crown
(combined points in all three classes).
The only title Cox did not win last year
was the Figure 8’s. For the second year in
a row, Beaumont’s Jesse Gordon, who is a
respiratory therapist at Kaiser Permanente
in Riverside, won the Figure 8
championship.
In addition to
the smash em’ up, bang em’ up classes, the
Formula X and CrossKarts will be in action
with two heats and a main event on the
road course.
After
Saturday, the season will continue March
9th when the PASSCAR Stock Cars and IMCA
Modifieds will stage a doubleheader. The
twin bill is a result of the February 9th
rainout. Open wheel racing will debut for
the year at the Annual So Cal Showdown
featuring the NOS Energy Drink World Of
Outlaws and the Amsoil USAC/CRA Sprint
Cars.
