FINAL 2023 NIGHT OF DESTRUCTION AT PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY THIS SATURDAY NIGHT By Scott Daloisio (Perris, CA, October 18, 2023) This Saturday night, October 21st, LKQ Pick Your Part will present the final Night of Destruction in 2023 at Perris Auto Speedway. It will be the last chance for fans to see “The Craziest Show On Dirt” until next February. The fast-paced program of clean family entertainment will feature daring Figure 8 Racing, no-rules Mini Stocks on the challenging road course, Mini Stock Figure 8s, no-holds-barred Demo Cross, a Figure 8 Trailer Race, and of course, the crowd favorite Double Deckers. Spectator gates for the finale will open at 5:00 p.m. and the first crash will take place at 7:00. Fans are urged to come out early and join the on-track autograph and free candy giveaway session with all of the drivers and cars from 5:15 through 5:45 for one last time in 2023. In addition to signing autographs and passing out candy, drivers will be posing for photos and many will allow fans to sit in their cars. “Night of Destruction has had another great season in 2023,” promoter Don Kazarian said on Monday. “We owe huge thanks to our long-time sponsor LKQ Pick Your Part. They have been a part of our racing family since day one and are the longtime sponsor of Night of Destruction. Big thanks to the drivers and crews for working diligently to put on such a great show. Also, thanks to all of the loyal fans who come out to see the motorized mayhem every time we stage Night of Destruction. We could not do it without any of them. Thank you all.” Going into Saturday’s finale, the mini stock points race is close. Riverside’s Kris Martin has a narrow six-point lead over Corey Denny who lives in Hemet. Martin is also the leader in the mini stock figure 8s. All he has to do in the mini figure 8s to sew up that title is start the main event. Earl Cox of Norco looks to be headed towards his third Perris Figure 8 championship. The champion in 2015 and 2021 won the fair race last Saturday night. He is being chased by last season’s champion Roger Storey of Riverside, “The Love Doctor,” Anthony Guisa of Norwalk and the driver of the popular Batmobile car Jesse Gordon of Beaumont. If Cox prevails, he will only be the second driver in PAS history to win three-figure 8 titles. The other three-time champ on the crisscross track is Gordon who won the crown in 2017, 2018, and 2019. Demo Cross racing has been all about Trebor Stephens of San Jacinto in 2023. The driver has been picture-perfect all season long with his uncanny ability to stay out of the Demo Cross chaos. He added some icing to his potential championship cake by winning the main event at the Southern California Fair on Sunday night. Bryce Wade Pack is leading the way in the Iron Man standings (overall points for all classes combined) going into the finale. The “Bug Ya’ Later,” which is driven by Lonnie Skillman and Don McCall of Riverside, leads the way in the Double Deckers. Riverside’s Josh Foote won the only Figure 8 Trailer race of the year and has a two-point lead over defending champ Michael Schattilly of Whittier.
