FINAL
2018 NIGHT OF DESTRUCTION SATURDAY AT
PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY
By Scott
Daloisio
(Perris, CA, August 28, 2018)
LKQ Pick Your Part will present
the final Night of Destruction for 2018
this Saturday night, September 1st, at
Perris Auto Speedway. The crowd-pleasing
holiday weekend show will feature Figure 8
racing, a Figure 8 Trailer race, insane
Democross, the track’s brand new 4
Cylinder Class and Formula X & CrossKarts.
Spectator gates will open at 5 P.M. and
the chaos will begin at 7.
Saturday’s
program will be the final time fans will
be able To see Figure 8 racing and Figure
8 Trailer racing until March of 2019.
Thus, champions will be crowned in both of
those classes on Saturday night.
In the Figure
8 class, Beaumont based respiratory
therapist Jesse Gordon pretty much has his
second championship in a row under lock
and key. Coming into the night he has a
39-point lead over 2015 champion Earl Cox
of Norco. Cox’s brother Kevin, of Foothill
Ranch, is only three points behind his
sibling. Another Cox, Kevin’s son Kyle who
resides in Huntington Beach, Is fourth in
the championship standings. Norwalk’s Ron
Davis, who will race anything anywhere and
at any time, is fifth. Basically, all
Gordon needs to do is take the green flag
in the main event to secure his second
straight Figure 8 title.
Things are
much tighter in the figure 8 trailer
championship standings. Kyle Cox has a
slender 11-point lead over Menifee’s Ken
McWilliams heading into the final race of
the year. Gordon is third, but is
27-points behind the leader. Nuevo’s Ryan
Kinnett, who won the first PAS Figure 8
Trailer championship three years ago, sits
fourth with Rob Multhaupt of Orange fifth.
Titles that
will not be decided this weekend are the
Democross and Overall Iron Man
Championships. After Saturday, there will
still be two Democross races this season
on October 14th at the 105th Annual
Southern California Fair. Going into this
week’s Democross, Kyle Cox has a 39-point
lead over Gordon, Costa Mesa’s J.D.
Wilson, rookie Michael Schattilly of
Whittier and Wildomar’s Weston Hughes, who
are all tied for second.
High Desert
driver Junior Pugh gets upside down at the
last Night of Destruction. He ended up on
all fours and finished the race. Please

The Overall
Iron Man Title, which combines the points
from all three of the aforementioned
classes, will come down to the two Sunday
races In October. Gordon, Who is seeking
his second straight championship in that
as well, Kyle Cox by 10 points. Kinnett,
McWilliams and Romoland’s Garrett McCourt
round out the top five.
Kevin Madsen
of Newport Beach has the Formula X &
CrossKart championship sewed up.
The 4 Cylinder
class will be making its second appearance
on Saturday. The class was not announced
until June and had more than 10 entries at
its first race one month ago. From chatter
on the Internet, officials are expecting
more cars to enter this this weekend. In
2019, the class will compete all season
long and will be a full points class that
will see a champion crowned after the
final race of the year.
Track
officials urge fans to come out early to
meet all the drivers, get autographs and
take photos at the on-track autograph
session that will begin at 5:15 on
Saturday.
