LKQ
PICK YOUR PART PRESENTS PASSCAR STOCK CAR
& IMCA MODIFIED OPENER AT PERRIS!
By Scott
Daloisio
(Perris, CA, February 3, 2018)
Perris Auto Speedway will kick
off it’s 23rd regular season of stock car
racing on February 10th and 11th when LKQ
Pick Your Part Presents the PASSCAR Stock
Car Series, featuring the Super Stocks,
Street Stocks, American Factory Stocks,
and the IMCA Modifieds. Spectator gates
will open at 2:00 P.M. each day with
racing at 3:00.
2017 Champions
Luke Dodd in the Street Stocks, Andy
Moreton in the Super Stocks, Alyssa Smith
in the Factory Stocks, Billy Wormsbecker
in the IMCA Modifieds and Chuck Becker in
the PAS Modifieds are all expected to be
in action on opening weekend. All but
Smith, who is moving up to the Street
Stock class, will be defending their 2017
titles.
For
Riverside’s Dodd, last year’s championship
was his fourth at the track. Norco’s
Smith, who does not turn 16-years-old
until May, won her third track
championship (the other two being winter
series). Moreton, a native of Sheffield,
England who resides in Victorville, took
his first PAS crown last year. Likewise,
Wormsbecker, who calls Big Bear home, and
Becker, who resides in Yucaipa, also won
their first ever PAS track championships.
Riverside’s
Luke Dodd will be seeking his fifth Perris
Auto Speedway Street Stock championship
starting on February 10th and 11th. Please
give photo credit to Doug Allen.
Both days on
opening weekend will be totally separate
shows offering separate purses and points.
Drivers in each class will be contesting
heat races, B main events (where
applicable) and A mains both days.
The popular
track will be returning to the old
traditional format for deciding champions
in 2018. Drivers will accumulate points at
every race of the season and the driver
with the most points will be crowned
champion at the end of the year. Over the
past three seasons, The PASSCAR Series
mimicked NASCAR’s way of deciding
championships where if a driver won a main
event in the regular season, he/she would
be seeded directly into the championship
final on the last night of the year. The
highest finishing of the eligible drivers
on the final night would be the class
champion.
“The drivers
asked to return to the old way of deciding
the championship,” promoter Don Kazarian
said. “So, that is what we are going to
do. We understand their point of concern.
In the way we did it the last three years,
a driver could lead every lap of every
main event and win the first seven races
of the year and then lead every lap of the
finale only to blow a tire in turn four on
the last lap and thus lose the
championship.”
While the
track is returning to the old way of
deciding the title, the point structure
has been changed for 2018. The winner of
each main event will get 20 points. Second
place will get 19 points, third will get
18. The points tally will drop by one
point in each descending position all the
way to the 20th place driver who will get
one point. In the heat races, the winner
of each heat will get three-points, second
will get two-points and third will get
one-point.
While the
weekend events will be the first for the
three PASSCAR divisions at The PAS in
2018, it will be rounds three and four for
the IMCA Modifieds. At the first two IMCA
races in January, Bradley Morris of
Romoland and Bakersfield’s Brad Pounds won
the main events. More visiting drivers,
including Bakersfield’s Robbie Sawyer who
was the IMCA Modified top point driver in
California in 2017, will be in action on
the 10th and 11th.
Prior to the
Sunday race at 1:00 P.M., Chaplin Jim
Spoonhower will be conducting a Sunday
service in the grandstands for drivers,
crews, fans and officials.
Tickets for
the February 10th and 11th races are
$15.00 each day for adults. For active
military members with proper id, teens
13-18 with their school id and kids 6-12,
it is just $5.00. Children 5 and under are

for everyone at the ticket window both
days. Parking on the fairgrounds is $8.00.
