PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY OPENS 28TH SEASON
SATURDAY – NETFLIX CAR MASTERS RUST TO
RICHES WILL BE ON HAND By Scott Daloisio
(Perris, CA, February 4,
2024) Perris Auto Speedway will
kick off its 28th season of family fun and
racing action this Saturday, February
10th, when LKQ Pick Your Part presents
Night of Destruction. Spectator gates for
the first of nine “Craziest Shows on Dirt”
in 2024 will open at 5:00 p.m. and the
crashing will begin at 7:00. Adult tickets
are $20.00. For kids 6-12 it is only $5.00
and children 5 and under are free.
Fans are urged to come out early and bring
all of the kids in the neighborhood for
the on-track autograph and free candy
giveaway session with all of the drivers
and cars from 5:15 to 5:45.
Saturday’s thrill-a-minute show will
feature daredevil Figure 8 Racing, a wild
Figure 8 Trailer Race, crazy Mini Stocks
on the challenging PAS road course, rough
and tumble no holds barred Demo Cross, and
the fan favorite zany Double Deckers. All
of the 2023 champions are expected to get
in on the opening night action. That group
includes Figure 8 star Earl Cox of Norco,
San Jacinto’s Trebor Stephens in Demo
Cross, Riverside’s Mini Stock hero Kris
“Hot Wheels” Martin, Overall Iron Man
Champion Bryce Wade-Pack of Murrieta,
Michael Schattilly of Whittier in the
Figure 8 Trailer race and Double Decker
kings Lonnie Skillman and Don McCall of
Perris.
“We are hoping for our
biggest season of Night of Destruction to
date,” promoter Don Kazarian said on
Saturday while taking a break from getting
the facility ready for the opener. “Night
of Destruction has become wildly popular
over the years. It features racing and
crashing all night long. The fans love the
excitement and the racers love the
affordability. Of the classes besides the
Figure 8s, drivers can hit the local Pick
Your Part or scan the neighborhood for a
relatively cheap vehicle and be on the
track for very little money. It is a fun
way to get into the action without
breaking the bank.”
Adding
excitement to the season opener, the
popular NETFLIX series “Car Masters Rust
to Riches” will be on hand to shoot an
episode and will have a car competing in
the demanding Demo Cross class.
“It is going to be a great night of
racing,” Kazarian said. “We are pleased
that “Car Masters Rust to Riches” will be
on hand to put together an episode for the
popular show. They will have a car
competing with all of the Demo Cross
regulars. That will add intrigue and
excitement for the fans. We are
anticipating that it will be one of the
wildest Demo Cross Main Events in the
history of the speedway. The whole night
will be wild. Opening night with new
equipment for many of the teams always
brings out the beast in everyone.”
Another addition to Saturday’s
show will be the return of infield
announcer Tom Gillum. The popular infield
mic man will be back at his old post
interviewing drivers throughout the night.
He missed the last couple of races in 2023
due to back surgery.
Adult tickets
for Saturday’s race are $20.00. For kids
6-12, it is only $5.00. Children 5 and
under are free. Advance tickets are on
sale now at

do not wish to buy advance tickets, there

The fairgrounds charge $10.00 for

After Saturday’s Night of
Destruction, racing will return on
February 24th when the Avanti Windows and
Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series begins
its historic 20th season. Joining the
fastest non-wing sprint cars west of the
Mississippi on that night will be the PAS
Senior Sprint Cars, Gas Chassis Young Gun
Sprints, and the PASSCAR Super Stocks and
Street Stocks.
