PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY SCHEDULES THE
BROTHER BRETT CLASSIC ON AUGUST 16TH
By Scott Daloisio
(Perris, CA, April 28, 2024)
During the intermission at last Saturday’s
Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint
Car race at Perris Auto Speedway, promoter
Don Kazarian announced to the fans that
the 30-lap main event at the August 16th
California Racers Hall of Fame Night will
be known as “The Brother Brett Classic.”
Thus, the official title of the event will
be, “The Brother Brett Classic on
California Racers Hall of Fame Night.”
"Brother" Brett Taylor was one of the most
popular people in So Cal open-wheel
racing.
“Brother” Brett Taylor had
been at the Perris Auto Speedway and the
Ventura Raceway for years. Amongst the
drivers, crews, fans, and series
officials, he is one of the most popular
persons ever involved in open-wheel racing
in Southern California. In the pits and
the stands, he greeted and chatted with
everyone and his love of racing ran deep.
“It was a crushing blow to
everyone involved in sprint car racing in
Southern California when Brett passed away
on March 18th,” promoter Don Kazarian
said. “He knew everyone and everyone was
his friend. When he walked up to you, it
put a smile on your face. He would enter a
team’s pit area and immediately everyone
would start smiling. Even if someone were
down, a visit from Brett would lift their
spirits. He is sorely missed by everyone.”
Before last Saturday’s race, Perris
Auto Speedway honored the longtime racing
worker/fan with memorial laps. With all of
the drivers and crews standing by the
crash wall and all of the fans standing,
Matt Mitchell, one of Brett’s favorite
drivers, turned laps on the half-mile
oval. There were a lot of wet eyes on the
track and in the stands while the ceremony
was taking place.
“Brett would come
into my office and ask me for something to
do,” Kazarian recalled. “On his own, he
would collect money for the push truck
drivers to help them with their expenses.
When we had fundraising drives for the
American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life,
Brett would get a helmet and collect
money. He was always there for whatever
you needed. He was the happiest and most
honest person you could ever hope to
meet.”
“Having the Brother Brett
Classic at the California Racer’s Hall of
Fame Night is a natural,” Kazarian
continued while talking about his friend.
“All of his buddies and heroes who
currently race cars will be here. A bunch
of guys he loved and who loved him from
days gone by will also be on hand.”
Several nights of racing will take
place before the August 16th date and the
first will be this Saturday, May 4th, when
LKQ Pick Your Part Presents the “Craziest
Show On Dirt,” Night of Destruction. Gates
will open at 5:00 p.m. and the crashing
