THE CRAZIEST SHOW ON DIRT - NIGHT OF
DESTRUCTION - RETURNS TO PERRIS AUTO
SPEEDWAY THIS SATURDAY By Scott Daloisio
(Perris, CA, May 16, 2022) After
a record-setting opening night in April,
the “Craziest Show On Dirt,” Night of
Destruction presented by LKQ Pick Your
Part, returns to Perris Auto Speedway this
Saturday night, May 20th. Saturday’s crazy
show will feature daring Figure 8 Racing,
full contact Mini Stock Road Races, rough
and tumble Demo Cross, edge-of-your-seat
Mini Stock Figure 8s, and, of course, the
crowd favorite zany Double Deckers.
Spectator gates for the night of wild
crashes and clean entertainment for the
whole family will open at 5:00 p.m. with
racing at 7:00.
After the first
scheduled Night of Destruction of 2023 in
March was canceled due to rain, a record
number of cars showed up for what turned
out to be the season opener last month.
More than 80 cars poured into the pit area
and they were joined by a large
enthusiastic crowd. The show ended up
being one of the wildest since the track
first hosted Night of Destruction over a
decade ago.
“Early on, there were
not a lot of cars in the pits like
normal,” promoter Don Kazarian said. “All
of a sudden and a lot later than usual,
they started coming from everywhere. We
knew it would be a good car count as some
cars were not ready for the show that was
rained out in March and others did not get
torn up due to the rainout. It ended up
being one of the wildest, hardest-hitting
Nights of Destruction we have ever had. We
hope we have just as many entries, if not
more, this Saturday.”
Another thing
that was not in short supply at the April
show was the crowd. As usual, the stands
were packed with a large, very
enthusiastic crowd.
“This is a show
for the whole family,” Kazarian said. “It
is exciting and it is a clean, family-fun
atmosphere. It starts early when all the
fans are let onto the track at 5:15 to
meet all the drivers, get a close-up look
at the cars, take photos, and get
autographs. In addition, the drivers have
free candy or other giveaways for the
children. The National Anthem is at 7:00
and the first crash is moments later. It
is a fast-paced show with very little
downtime. There is no reason to have the
crowd sit there till 11:00 or midnight.
That is especially important for those
with kids. They get bored if the show
drags on. We usually have the show
completed and the fans on their way home
by 9:45 or 10:00.”
All the winners
from April – Earl Cox Jr. in Figure 8s,
Trebor Stephens in Demo Cross, Jake Gray
in Mini Stock Figure 8, Chris Martin in
Mini Stock Road Race, Bug Ya’ Later in
Double Deckers) – are all expected to be
back in action on Saturday.

Destruction are $20.00. Kids 6-12 get in
