  Perris Auto Speedway Hosts Its Annual Halloween Event at Saturday’s Night of Destruction
By Scott Daloisio


Perris, California — October 20, 2025 —
One of Perris Auto Speedway’s most anticipated nights of the year returns this Saturday, October 25th, when LKQ Pick Your Part presents the “Craziest Show On Dirt,” Night of Destruction. In addition to the trademark racing and high-impact crashes, fans can enjoy the annual Halloween trick-or-treating session on the track with the drivers and cars at intermission, along with costume contests for kids. Spectator gates open at 5:00 p.m., with racing set to begin at 7:00.



The Halloween tradition started several years ago from a spur-of-the-moment idea.

“Two days before the show, sometime before COVID, Shelly Wooldridge suggested that kids in costume collect candy from the drivers at intermission,” promoter Don Kazarian recalled. “I didn’t expect much as we did not have a lot of time to get the word out, but the drivers responded, and to our surprise, more than 200 kids showed up in costume. It was incredible considering we only had 48 hours to prepare.”

The following year, the event returned by popular demand — and attendance more than doubled. Since then, it has grown into a staple of the Night of Destruction series.

“It’s one of the most enjoyable nights we have all year,” Kazarian said. “The show has everything — great racing, wild crashes, and fun for all ages. The name Night of Destruction says it all. At intermission, the drivers and crews love handing out candy as much as the kids love collecting it. Plus, it’s a safe, exciting way for kids to trick-or-treat.”

Saturday’s event will feature several fan-favorite divisions, including the chaotic Figure 8s, the unpredictable Figure 8 Trailer Race, Mighty Mini Stocks on the twisting road course, no holds barred Demo Cross, and the always-entertaining Double Deckers.

“It’s truly a great family night,” Kazarian added. “You get exciting racing, wild crashes, candy, and costumes — everything that makes Halloween at the track special.”

Tickets are $25.00 for ages 13 and up, $10.00 for kids (6–12), and free for children 5 and under. Parking on the fairgrounds is $20 (payment byu card only for parking). Advance tickets are available at tix.com, and walk-up tickets will be available at the gate.

Perris Auto Speedway is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds, 18700 Lake Perris Drive, Perris, California. On-site camping is available for $25 per night beginning at noon on Fridays.
