NIGHT OF DESTRUCTION RETURNS TO PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY SATURDAY By Scott Daloisio (Perris, CA, May 30, 2022) Motorized mayhem returns to Perris Auto Speedway this Saturday night, June 3rd, when LKQ Pick Your Part Presents the “Craziest Show on Dirt,” Night of Destruction. The night of family fun, crashin,’ and dirt track racin’ will include daring Outlaw Figure 8 races, Mini Stock Road Racing, rough and tumble Demo Cross, no holds barred Mini Stock Figure 8s, and the crowd favorite Double Deckers. Spectator gates will open at 5:00 p.m. and the first crash will happen at 7:00. Fans are urged to come out early and bring all the kids in the neighborhood for the 5:15 – 5:45 autograph and free candy giveaway session on the track with all the cars and drivers. It is like Halloween in June. The story thus far at Night of Destruction has been Figure 8 driver Earl Cox Jr. The Norco racer, who began his career nearly 40 years ago at legendary Ascot Park in Gardena, currently leads the Figure 8 championship point standings. The son of Ascot legend Earl Cox Sr. has won the first two main events of the 2023 season. Going into Saturday’s thrill a minute night of action, Cox has a 12-point lead over defending Figure 8 champion Roger Storey of Riverside and “The Love Doctor,” Anthony Guisa of Norwalk who are tied for second. Fourth place in the Figure 8s is Kaiser Permanente respiratory therapist Jesse Gordon of Banning. A three time Figure 8 champion (2017, 2018, 2019), Gordon purchased a full blown late model to compete in the Figure 8s this year. He finished second to Cox on opening night but was forced to drop out of the main event with mechanical ills two weeks ago. Anaheim’s Canyon Multhaupt, who is contesting his first full season, is currently fifth. After two stellar races in Demo Cross, San Jacinto’s Trebor Stephens sits on top of the championship standings. He has driven his #14 truck to a win and a second place finish in the first two races and leads Bob Kubik by 11-points. Kubik may not be at Saturday’s event. After taking the checkered flag in fourth two weeks ago, he smacked one of the big tractor tires used as an obstacle and flipped his car. Defending Demo Cross series champion Michael Schattilly of Whittier and Scottsdale, Arizona’s Ken Caskey, a member of the Mini Van Mafia, are tied for third. Canyon Multhaupt’s uncle Rob Multhaupt Jr., another driver who raced at Ascot, convincingly won the Demo Cross main two weeks ago. He is currently fifth in the standings. In the Mini Stocks, Garden Grove native Kris Martin leads the way in the road course standings. Driving his popular “Hot Wheels” #73, he has won the first two races of the 2023 campaign and has parlayed those victories into a nine-point advantage over Hemet’s Corey Denny coming into Saturday night’s action. Riverside’s Darin Green is third. Martin’s son, Sterling, is in fourth and Brian Motley sits in fifth. In addition to leading the Mini Stock road racing standings, Martin’s second and third place finishes put him in the lead in the brand new Figure 8 Mini Stock class as well. Menifee’s Bryce Wade Pack is second in points and trails Martin by six points. Austin Kinnane of Riverside, a multi-time Demo Cross winner in years gone by, is currently ranked third. Corona’s Cameron Fisher sits fourth. Darin Green and Jake Gray, the winners of the first two Mini Stock main events, are tied for fifth. Lonnie Skillman and Don McCall, the drivers of the Bug Ya’ Later, have won the first two main events of 2023 and lead the points in the popular double Decker class. Wade-Pack is the overall leader in the Iron Man Standings (all classes combined). Kris Martin, Fisher, Kinnane and Schattilly make up the remainder of the top five. Figure 8 Points 1.
