RACING
RETURNS TO PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY SATURDAY
WITH PASSCAR STOCKS AND IMCA MODIFIEDS
By Scott Daloisio
(Perris, CA, August 10, 2021)
After taking last weekend off, racing will
return to Perris Auto Speedway this
Saturday, August 14th, when the PASSCAR
Super Stocks, Street Stocks, American
Factory Stocks and IMCA Modifieds return
to the famous Riverside County half-mile
clay oval. In addition to the racing,
there will be an on track autograph and
photo session at intermission with the
drivers passing out free candy to kids.
Spectator gates will open at 5:00 PM and
the first race will be at 7.
The
first-place finishers in the IMCA
Modifieds and the Super Stocks will each
earn checks for $1,500.00. The Street
Stock winner will pocket $1,000.00 and the
Factory Stock victor will receive $500.00
Heading Saturday’s program will be
the popular IMCA Modifieds. Through the
first six races of the season, the
modifieds have averaged a healthy 20 cars
per night, which is one of the best car
counts in the state. Four different
drivers have posted wins in the Mods this
year. Jake Pike of Pahrump, Nevada and
Bakersfield’s Austin Kiefer have two wins
each. Riverside’s Justin Dunn and Tom
“Slick” Smith if Norco each have one
victory. Smith won the last race on July
24th. Despite not winning a main event
through the first six races of the year,
Buena Park’s Billy Griffin sits on top of
the IMCA point pile going into Saturday’s
race. However, he is only eight-points
clear of second-place Smith. Dunn is
currently third in points with Carla Laney
of Torrance and Yucaipa’s Chuck Becker
tied for fourth.
Billy Griffin #2 and Fred Estrada, the
2019 Super Stock Champ, race at The PAS on
July 24. Doug Allen photo.
Like
Griffin in the Modifieds, Riverside’s
Tyson Talkington has yet to win a main
event in the PASSCAR Super Stocks in 2021.
Yet, he is still one point in front of
Hemet’s David Lord going into the weekend.
Griffin, who is the only regular doing
double duty this year, is third. Marina
Del Rey’s Ron Bartels and two-time series
champ Dennis Wooldridge are tied for
fourth. Lord leads the class with three
wins. Griffin, who has two victories, and
Bartels, who has one, round out the Super
Stock win list.
Brandon Kelly, who
turned 30-years-old earlier this week,
hopes to give himself a belated birthday
gift with his third PASSCAR Street Stock
triumph of the 2021 campaign on Saturday.
The Moreno Valley based racer has a
seven-point lead over Lake Elsinore’s
James Altman Jr. Altman notched his first
ever PASSCAR Street Stock win on June 26
and has two second place finishes since
then. Three-time class champion Curtis
Dietzsch of Riverside is winless thus far
in 2021. Nevertheless, his consistent
driving has seen him finish no worse than
fifth and he is only 10-points out of
first-place. Stefan Davies of Murrieta
leads the class with three wins this year,
but a disqualification in July saw him
lose valuable points. He is fourth in the
standings heading into the weekend. Doug
Kelly, Brandon’s dad, is fifth.
Thus far in the 2021 season, the PASSCAR
American Factory Stocks have supplied the
most winners. Five different drivers have
posted victories through the first six
races. Anaheim’s Darren Myers is on top of
the victory ledger with two wins. Two-time
defending champion and current point
leader Cameron Veatch of Temecula, Mike
Burks of Nuevo, National City’s Chris
Evans, and Swede Ogren of Anza have taken
home the winner’s check one time each.
Adult tickets for Saturday’s race are
$20.00. Kids aged 6-12 get in for $5.00
and children 5 and under are free. There
will be plenty of tickets for everyone at
the track ticket window on Saturday. This
event will not sell out. For those who
