PASSCAR AND IMCA STOCK CAR RACING
RETURNS TO PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY SATURDAY
By Scott Daloisio
(Perris, CA, September 7, 2022)
After a short two-week break, the
PASSCAR/IMCA Stock Car show returns to
Perris Auto Speedway this Saturday night,
September 10th. Saturday’s high-speed show
of dirt track racing thrills will include
the PASSCAR Super Stocks, PASSCAR American
Factory Stocks, IMCA Sport Compacts, and
the combined PASSCAR Street Stocks/IMCA
Stock Cars. In addition to the racing, at
intermission, all the drivers and their
cars will be on the front straightaway to
pass out free candy to all the children
and to sign autographs. Spectator gates at
America’s Premiere Dirt Track will open at
5:00 p.m. with racing at 7:00.
Saturday’s event will be a crucial one for
title-contending drivers as there will
only be two more stock car shows in 2022.
Three of the four classes are super tight.
The Factory Stocks have two drivers tied
for the top spot and the top four are only
separated by six points. The Street Stock
leader has a one-point advantage over the
second-place driver. There are only four
points between the top two in the IMCA
Sport Compacts. The only class where a
driver has a substantial lead is the Super
Stocks.
The Factory Stock battle
sees Lanny Savage of Colton and Menifee’s
Joseph Pack deadlocked on 83-points. In
third and only a single point behind
Savage and Pack is Canyon Lake’s David
Stites. Stites, who was undefeated in his
first three starts this year, was leading
the main and on his way to four in a row
when engine problems relegated him to
sixth two weeks ago. In fourth and only
seven points out of the lead is Ethan
Kintop of Nuevo. Winchester’s Austyn
Jaramillo, who had been at the top since
April, broke in practice two weeks ago and
dropped to fifth in points.
The
PASSCAR Street Stock/IMCA Stock Car class
is nearly as tight as the Factory Stocks.
In the streets, Moreno Valley’s Brandon
Kelly has a narrow one-point lead over
Chris Leventis of Rancho Palos Verdes.
Kelly, the defending class champion, has
won four of the first five races this
year. Leventis has finished no worse than
fourth and three times he has finished
second. Kelly’s dad Doug is third in
points and is the only driver besides his
son with wins in the class this year.
Riverside’s Sean Estes is fourth and
rookie Evan Sennett, who also resides in
Riverside is fifth. As the IMCA Super
Nationals are happening in Boone, Iowa
this week, there will only be PASSCAR
points awarded on Saturday.
Another rookie, Edward Finger of Temecula,
has a four-point lead over Menifee’s Ken
McWilliams in the IMCA Sport Compact
Class. The IMCA portion of the
championship will be decided between
Saturday and the final IMCA point race on
September 24th. That will work out
perfectly for McWilliams who recently
joined the Hemet police force and can only
race every other week. However, it could
cost him in the California State points
with the two Perris races wrapped around a
Barona Speedway race on the 17th.
McWilliams leads Finger by 28 points in
the state battle but will have to miss the
Barona race.
Rounding out the top
five in the sport compacts is rookie Ava
Laney of Huntington Beach, a member of the
famous Laney racing family, Andrew Schmitz
of Hemet, and Buena Park’s Marcus Ford.
The only class where a driver has a
clear-cut lead is the Super Stocks.
Riverside’s Tyson Talkington leads Ricky
Lee of Beaumont by 18 points. The class is
the only one to not have a repeat winner
thus far in 2022. In five races, five
different drivers have posted victories.
Leader Talkington and Lee each have one
victory going into Saturday’s race. 2014
super stock champion Blaine Whitson of
Temecula is third with Riverside’s Tom
Davis and Tom Wesolowski of Canyon Lake
rounding out the top five.
Spectator gates will open at 5:00 p.m. on
Saturday with racing at 7:00. Adult
tickets are $20.00. For kids 6-12 it is
just $5.00, and children 5 and under are
free. There will be plenty of tickets for
everyone at the ticket window on Saturday.
This event will not sell out. The
fairgrounds charges $10.00 for parking.

Saturday, are on sale now. Fans can order
