  PASSCAR STOCK CARS AND IMCA MODIFIEDS AT PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY SATURDAY!
By Scott Daloisio

(Perris, CA, June 25, 2018) For the second time in the month of June, the PASSCAR Stock Car Series, featuring Street Stocks, Super Stocks, American Factory Stocks, and the IMCA Modifieds will be at Perris Auto Speedway this Saturday night. It will mark the start of the second half of the season for the cars at the famous Riverside County half-mile clay oval. Spectator gates will open at 5:00 P.M. and the first race will be at 7:00.

The battle for supremacy in the Street Stocks continues with Luke Dodd of Riverside and his arch-rival Blaine Whitson of Temecula. After the first five races of the year Dodd, a four-time track champion, has a six-point lead over Whitson in the championship standings. Dodd has won three of the first five races and Whitson has captured the other two. At the last race, Whitson was first to the checkered flag and Dodd came home second. At the race prior to that, it was the opposite with Dodd snaring the winner’s trophy and Whitson claiming the number two position. Between the two of them, they only have two finishes outside the top three all year. Those finishes came when Whitson placed 10th on February 11th and Dodd was fifth on April 14th. Chris Leventis of Rancho Palos Verdes is third in the standings behind the lead duo.



​Temecula’s Blaine Whitson, who won the last PASSCAR Street Stock main on June 9th, only trails champion Luke Dodd by six-points in the standings. Please give photo credit to Doug Allen.

Cory Sample, who lives in Winnemucca, Nevada and makes the nearly 1,200-mile round trip to Southern California to race at The PAS, has a 31-point lead in the PAS/IMCA Modified point standings. Sample, who picked up his second PAS win at the last race on June 2nd, has only finished out of the top three one time in the first seven races of the year. That came in May when he was clobbered by another car and ended up finishing 11th. In the other six-races he has two wins, a couple of second place finishes and a pair of thirds. Yucaipa’s Chuck Becker is second in points with Corona’s Terry Hershberger third.

In the Super Stocks, El Cajon’s Mike Lerwell continues to lead the way as the season starts its second half. Lerwell, who was the champion of the class two years ago, has a 17-point cushion over Beaumont’s Ricky Lee in the championship standings. This far in 2018, Lerwell has been head and shoulders over the class with two wins, two-second place finishes and a sixth-place outing. Chula Vista veteran Steve Worstell is third and only trails Lee by six points.

In the Factory Stock class, Mike Burks of Nuevo, who turned 59 earlier this month, won his first ever main event after 12-years of trying on June 9th. With the victory, Burks closed to within five points of leader Todd Fassler of El Cajon in the standings. Menifee’s Kris Carnish and Cameron Veatch of Temecula are third and fourth and both are less than 10-points behind Fassler thus making the Factory Stocks the tightest points race at the track in 2018.



​It took Mike Burks (right) 12-years, but he finally won his first ever PASSCAR Factory Stock main event on June 9th. Please give photo credit to Doug Allen.

All cars will contest heat races and main events on Saturday.
