PERRIS
AUTO SPEEDWAY HOSTS CHAMPION’S NIGHT FOR
STOCK CARS AND MODIFIEDS THIS SATURDAY By Scott Daloisio
(Perris, CA, November 9, 2021)
With fall settling into Southern
California and the first day of winter a
little over a month away, it is the annual
time of year when Perris Auto Speedway
starts to wind down the racing season.
Last week was the final night of Sprint
Car racing for the year. This Saturday,
November 13th, the PASSCAR Stock Cars and
Modifieds will bid a fond adieu for the
year at “Champion’s Night.” Next Saturday,
November 20th, LKQ Pick Your Part will
present Night of Destruction and that
event will bring down the curtain on the
track’s historic 25th season of racing
action.
Going into Saturday’s
PASSCAR finale, two drivers in each class
have a chance at gaining the glory of a
championship title. One driver, Buena
Park’s Billy Griffin, who already sewed up
the championship in the IMCA Modifieds,
will come into Saturday with the
possibility of winning both The PAS
Modified and Super Stock championships. In
the Modifieds, he has a slim six-point
lead over Norco’s Tom Smith. With a
maximum of 23 points (if a driver were to
win the main event and his heat) in the
Super Stock class, Griffin has a
comfortable 16-point lead over former
Speedway Motorcycle racer Tyson Talkington
of Riverside. If Griffin takes both of
those titles, he would be the first driver
to win three championships at the track in
one year. And in all probability, that
will not happen again for a long time.
In the Street Stocks, Moreno Valley’s
Brandon Kelly has led the championship
standings for most of the 2021 campaign
and he is seeking his first ever track
championship. However, he has Curtis
Dietzsch lurking behind in second. A
three-time track champion in the class,
Dietzch, who lives in Riverside, only
trails Kelly by 13 points going into
Saturday’s “Showdown for the Crown.” If
Dietzsch were to take the lead from Kelly
and win the title, it would be his first
championship since 2010.
In the
American Factory Stocks, Temecula’s
Cameron Veatch is seeking his third
consecutive championship. If he prevails,
he would be the first driver in the
history of the class to win three titles
in a row. However, he is just a mere
10-points in front of Nuevo’s Mike Burks.
If Veatch does capture his third
title in a row, he would only be the third
driver in the track’s stock car history to
do so. Luke Dodd won three championships
in a row in the Street Stock class in
2017, 2018 and 2019 and Alan Updyke did
the triple in the Modifieds in 2009, 2010
and 2011.
Spectator gates will open
at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday for the night of
dirt track racing and family fun. The
first race will be at 7:00. At
intermission, all fans will be able to go
onto the track for the traditional
autograph session. All drivers will be
available to the fans, and they will be
passing out free candy to all the children
in attendance.
Adult tickets for
“Champion’s Night” are $20.00. For kids
ages 6-12 it is only $5.00 and children 5
and under are free. There will be plenty
of tickets available for everyone at the
ticket window on Saturday. This race will
not sellout. For fans who wish to purchase
tickets in advance, they can do so 24
hours a day online at
https://www.tix.com/ticket-sales/pas/7 or
by calling 1-800-595-4849. The fairgrounds
