THE
DEMON STRIKES AT PERRIS
PERRIS, CA – JULY 13, 2019…
After temperatures reached triple digits,
fast qualifier “The Demon” Damion Gardner
(Concord, CA) raced to victory at Perris

#4 Trench Shoring / All Coast Construction
Spike, Gardner reclaimed the lead for good
on lap 24 from “The Big Game Hunter”
Austin Williams to earn the AMSOIL
USAC/CRA & Sands Chevrolet USAC SouthWest

marked his second triumph of the season
(82nd career USAC/CRA / 1st career USAC
SouthWest) over R.J. Johnson, hard charger
Stevie Sussex, Tommy “Thunder” Malcolm,
and “Chargin” Charles Davis Jr.
Sussex earned
the Specialty Fasteners / Saldana Racing
Products Hard Charger Award with a
twenty-fourth to third place run. “T-Dub”
Trent Williams claimed the Wilwood Disc
Brakes “Lucky 13 Award” with a thirteenth
place finish in the main event.
Gardner also
scored the night’s Woodland Auto Display /
Beaver Stripes Fast Time Award by posting
a time of 16.526 over the 25-car roster.
