(JUNE 26, 2007, PERRIS, CA) The final night of Perris Auto Speedway’s
Annual Kid’s Month will be this Saturday, June 30th. All kids 12 and under
will be admitted free when an adult accompanies them. Saturday’s racing
program will include the MC Builder Super Stocks, PASSCAR Modifieds & Street
Stocks and the California Lightning Sprint Cars. Spectator gates will open at
5:00 PM with racing at 6:30.
Speaking of Kid’s Month, a pair of hot racing 14 year-old drivers have been
the focus of many at the track this year. Christian Stover from El Cajon,
California and Tommy “Thunder” Malcolm of Corona, California have been
impressive in the Lightning Sprint and the Street Stocks this year. Stover won
the main event when the Lightning Sprint Cars last appeared at the track on June
2nd. Malcolm, who is the step son of Late Model star Dino Napier and the brother
of Late Model racer Johnny “Lightning” Malcolm, has only been on the track
three or four times. However, he has been very smooth and shows a great deal of
track knowledge. His beat finish came on May 5th when he crossed the line in
6th.
Riverside’s Jim Coates heads into Saturday’s race as the new point leader
in the Street Stock class. The likeable veteran took the point lead with a third
place finish two weeks ago.
The Super Stocks return to action for the first time since May 19th.
Defending series champion Mark Shackelford of Riverside, California holds a
slender 3-point lead over his Carpinteria, California teammate Ed Perry going
into Saturday’s race. Shackelford, who is also a regular and former champion
at the Orange Show Speedway, and Perry both drive for Jerry and Pam Dodd.
Apple Valley, California’s Randy Thornell will bring a huge 55-point lead
over Corona, California driver Johnny Lathrop when the PASSCAR Modifieds take to
the track on Saturday night. Hemet, California driver Kevin Busher is third in
the standings. Joe Haresky, of Phelan, California, won his first PAS main event
in the Modifieds two weeks ago.
Saturday’s festival of fendered fisticuffs and speed will include heat
races and 20 lap main events for every class. B main events will be contested if
applicable.
In addition to Saturday's race on the half-mile clay oval, there will be drag
racing on Friday at the popular Street Legal Strip at The PAS where you can race
your own car for just $30.00. Gates at the will open at 5:00 PM with racing at
