EXTRA
SPRINT CARS STARS SHOWING UP FOR PERRIS
AUTO SPEEDWAY 2023 SEASON FINALE
By Scott Daloisio
(Perris, CA, November 6, 2023)
When Heimark Distributors Anheuser Busch
presents the final Amsoil USAC/CRA Sprint
Car Series race of 2023 at Perris Auto
Speedway this Saturday, November 11th,
attending fans will see the appearances of
three newly crowned champions. In addition
to the 410 sprint car stars, the PAS
Senior Sprints, Young Gun Sprints, and the
POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Cars will
also be in action. It will be the final
chance for fans to see racing at the
famous Riverside County clay oval until
February 2024. Spectator gates will open
at 5:00 p.m. and racing will begin at
7:00.

Heading the list
of drivers is PAS regular Brody Roa. The
Garden Grove, California racer sewed up
his first USAC/CRA championship last
weekend at Arizona’s Cocopah Speedway. He
will be joined by Ion, California’s Justin
Grant who recently put the finishing
touches on his second straight USAC
National Sprint Car Series title. Grant
will be driving the same Matt Mitchell #37
that he wheeled to victory on his only PAS
appearance of the year on March 18th.
Joining those two champions will be the
winningest 410 traditional sprint car
driver in the nation this season, Ricky
Lewis of Camarillo, California. Lewis has
17 main event wins thus far in 2023. In
addition, he was also crowned champion in
the Midwest’s BOSS Sprint Car Series.
Pleasant Hill, Ohio’s Matt Westfall, who
won the USAC National Series race at
Texarkana 64 Speedway in Arkansas and who
finished 12th in national points, will be
making a rare PAS appearance on Saturday.

Saturday’s season finale
will be the sixth race of the season for
USAC/CRA on its home track in 2023.
Yucaipa’s Tommy “Thunder” Malcolm has two
wins at Perris this season. He is the only
USAC/CRA driver with more than one victory
on the Riverside County clay oval this
year. Roa, Grant, and Mitchell each have
one triumph.

Ricky Lewis is the winningest
traditional 410 sprint car driver and
the BOSS Series Champion.

One title that has not been decided yet is
The PAS Young Gun Series champion.
Technically, the top five in the standings
have a mathematical chance of winning the
title. Realistically, when the new
champion is crowned after Saturday’s main
event, the victor should come from a trio
of teens who populate the top three spots.
Simi Valley high schooler Blake Hendricks
comes in with a 13-point lead over
second-place 15-year-old Cash Culp of
Apple Valley. Elexa Herrera, a 2023 high
school graduate who resides in New Cuyama,
is 16 points out of the top spot.
Defending series champion Stevie Rogers of
Apple Valley and Brandon Nelson of Arroyo
Grande round out the top five.
Santa Fe Springs driver Ed Schwarz already
has his first-ever PAS Senior Sprint Car
Series title wrapped up. He has a 90-point
lead over 2021 champion Dale Gamer of
Anaheim entering Saturday’s event.
The POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint
Cars will be making their third appearance
of 2023 at The PAS. Lakeside’s Brent
Sexton and California Highway Patrol
Officer Jeff Dyer of Yucca Valley have won
the first two races. Dyer, who also plans
on racing his #39 410 sprint car with
USAC/CRA on Saturday, has a 49-point lead
over defending SWLS champion Sexton.
Dyer’s 16-year-old son, Seth, is third.
In honor of Veteran’s Day, all active
military members who show a valid ID at
the ticket window on Saturday will get a
ticket for $5.00 and a pass for one
accompanying guest at the time of

Adult tickets for
Saturday’s season finale are $30.00. For
