PASSCAR Super Stocks and Street Stocks Join USAC/CRA Sprint Cars Saturday at Perris

Perris, California — October 13, 2025 — The 2025 racing season at Perris Auto Speedway charges into the home stretch this Saturday night, October 18th, when the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars return to headline an action-packed card that also features the PASSCAR Super Stocks and Street Stocks. Spectator gates for the thrilling night of high-speed dirt track racing and family fun open at 5:00 PM, with the first green flag waving at 7:00.

The 29th season at the popular Riverside County half-mile clay oval is winding down with just five races to go. The USAC/CRA Sprint Cars and PASSCAR Stock Cars will be in action this Saturday, October 18th, November 1st, and November 8th. LKQ Pick Your Part will present the final two Nights of Destruction on October 18th and November 22^nd.

Going into the last Super Stock race on September 27th, it had been the year of Yucaipa’s Chuck Becker. The four-time track champion was still chasing his first win of the season but had finished runner-up in the first four races and built a comfortable points lead. However, disaster struck that night, taking Becker out early and opening the door for Banning’s Ricky Lee. The 2023 Super Stock champ capitalized with a big win and now trails Becker by only three points heading into Saturday’s showdown.

Victorville’s Rick Arringdale, a former PAS stock car champ in 1998 and 2001, sits third in the standings. Beaumont’s Steven Welch and Bakersfield’s second-generation racer Billy Simkins round out the top five.

In the PASSCAR Street Stocks, Riverside’s Shawn Estes, the 2012 class champion, has been unbeatable in 2025—sweeping every heat and main event so far this season. That perfect record has earned him a commanding 22-point lead over George Leventis of Palos Verdes with three races remaining. Estes’ son in law, Chad Mahony of Yorba Linda, ranks third. He is followed by Ohio transplant Evan Sennett of Riverside and 2021 champion Brandon Kelly, who are ranked fourth and fifth.

On the USAC/CRA side, Laveen, Arizona’s RJ Johnson—the defending series champion—has found his groove, winning the last two main events at The PAS. Those back-to-back victories, his only USAC/CRA wins of the season, have helped him stretch his lead to 65 points over Oxnard’s Ricky Lewis with five races left (three at Perris and two next week at Central Arizona Raceway). Lewis, who led the standings for much of the year, still tops the win chart with eight triumphs in 2025. Four of his wins have came in the first eight races at Perris.

“The Big Game Hunter” Austin Williams of Corona, San Diego’s AJ Bender, and Yucaipa’s Tommy “Thunder” Malcolm complete the top five.

Saturday’s tickets are $35.00 for those 13 years old and over. Kids (6–12) get in for $10.00. Children 5 and under are free. Parking on the fairgrounds is $20 (card only for parking). Advance tickets are available at tix.com, but plenty of walk-up tickets will also be available at the gate.

Perris Auto Speedway is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds, 18700 Lake Perris Drive, Perris, California. On-site camping is available for $25 per night beginning at noon on Fridays.

DIRTcar Fall Nationals Return to Lincoln Speedway This Weekend – October 16-18

Champions, Campers, and the Best of the Midwest Set to Converge for Season Finale

LINCOLN, IL – The wait is over — it’s officially DIRTcar Fall Nationals week at Lincoln Speedway, where well over 100 of the best drivers from across the Midwest will close out the 2025 racing season in grand fashion. The three-day event runs Thursday through Saturday, October 16–18, featuring open practice on Thursday night and two full nights of national championship racing on Friday and Saturday.

This year’s edition is expected to be one of the biggest yet — a celebration of dirt track racing and a final showdown for drivers chasing DIRTcar National Championship points.

Each race night will feature complete shows for all divisions, including: DIRTcar Super Late Models, DIRTcar Pro Late Models, DIRTcar Modifieds, and DIRTcar Pro Modifieds. The DIRTcar Street Stocks will run on Saturday night only.

Grandstand gates will open at 4:00 PM on Friday and 3:00 on Saturday, with on track activity beginning with hotlap/qualifying two hours later each day. Tickets will be available at the gate each day, and kids 11 and under are admitted free to the grandstands all weekend.

The DIRTcar Fall Nationals is as much about camaraderie as competition. Fans and teams can enjoy camping, post-race parties, and live entertainment after the checkered flags fly. On Friday night, the band AllNighter will perform behind the grandstands, keeping the energy high long after the final feature of the evening.
