FINAL NIGHT OF DESTRUCTION FOR 2019 SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28! By Scott Daloisio (Perris, CA, September 22, 2019) They say that “Time Flies” and “All Good Things Must Come to an End.” That certainly applies to Saturday night, September 28th, at Perris Auto Speedway, when LKQ Pick Your Part Presents the final Night of Destruction for 2019. The night of family fun will feature Figure 8 Racing, a Figure 8 Trailer race, Mini Stocks, crazy Democross and the popular Double Deckers. In addition, there will be a special Demolition Derby with proceeds benefiting the American Cancer Society. Spectator gates will open at 5:00 P.M. and the crashing will start at 7:00.

The added Demolition Derby will feature a twist as there will be an auction for someone to get into one of the cars and compete in the derby. Safety equipment will be supplied and all the proceeds from the auction will go straight to the American Cancer Society. “It seems like we just kicked off the new season on a chilly night in February,” promoter Don Kazarian said. “Now seven months later, we are closing the best season of Night of Destruction to date. We have added two new classes this year, the Double Deckers and Mini Stocks, and they have proved to be very popular. In addition, our regular Figure 8 class has been adding fast cars. In August we had one of the best Figure 8 Trailer races in years and Democross is just as popular as always. It is sad to see the Night of Destruction season coming to an end.” “The championships have been tight all season long,” Kazarian continued. “It will come down to the final night in four of the classes, so that, along with the Demolition Derby, is going to make it even more fun and exciting than usual.” The only championships that are locked up or are close to being locked up, are the Overall Iron Man Champion and the Figure 8s. Kyle Cox of Huntington Beach has already sewed up the title in the Iron Man for the second year in a row and respiratory therapist Jesse Gordon of Beaumont has a commanding 37-point lead as he seeks his third straight championship in the Figure 8s. Cox is trying to sew up the Figure 8 Trailer title for the second year running, but he has a precarious three-point lead over Gordon in the championship standings. Cox has one win in the first six races and Gordon has two. Like the Figure 8 Trailers, Cox is trying to take the Democross championship for the second straight season. He has a tad more breathing room in that class as he leads J.D. Wilson by a dozen points. Crowd favorite Wilson, the 80-year-old retired airline pilot from Costa Mesa, has three wins on the year and Cox has two. Despite winning three of the first six Mini Stock main events, Michael Hartfield of Menifee is 12-points behind Chino’s Alan Mahoney going into Saturday’s finale. In the Double Deckers, Mahoney and Rick Melgrin are tied for the lead with the popular “Couples Therapy” team of husband and wife Jason and Caroline Cahalan of Murrieta. All drivers will contest heat races and main events at Saturday’s fun show.
