JAKE
SWANSON SLICES HIS WAY TO FIRST PERRIS WIN
PERRIS, CA – AUGUST 17, 2019…
After a first lap tangle sent him to the
back, Jake Swanson (Anaheim, CA) sliced
his way to the lead on lap twenty-four and
earned his first win at Perris Auto
Speedway. Racing John Grau & Mike
Burkhart’s #34AZ Stratis Construction /
Team AZ Racing DRC, Swanson topped the
“California Racers Hall of Fame Night”
with the AMSOIL USAC/CRA and Sands
Chevrolet USAC SouthWest Sprint Car
Series. Fast qualifier Richard Vander
Weerd, Brody Roa, “Hollywood” Danny Faria
Jr., and “The Big Game Hunter” Austin
Williams rounded out the top-five drivers.

Specialty Fasteners / Saldana Racing
Products “Ellen Ellis” Hard Charger Award
with a twenty-second to eighth place run.
Tommy “Thunder” Malcolm scored the Wilwood
Disc Brakes “Lucky 13 Award” with a
thirteenth place finish. Matt Lundy earned
his third AAA Car Buying 360 Bonus of the
season with a ninth place finish in the
semi-main.
Vander Weerd
began the night by posting the night’s
Woodland Auto Display / Beaver Stripes
“Billy Wilkerson Fast Time Award” with a
new SouthWest track record of 16.411 over
the 30-car roster. Swanson won the special
