| LUCAS OIL USAC/CRA SPRINT CARS AT THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FAIR THIS SUNDAY! |
|
(OCTOBER 2, PERRIS, CA) Racing fans will get extra bang for their bucks this Sunday night, October 7th, when the Lucas Oil USAC/CRA Sprint Cars will race under Perris Auto Speedway's (known as the "Bud Light Arena" during the fair) bright lights during the Southern California Fair. A ticket to the fair (only $8.00 for adults) will get all fans into the races free. Qualifying will begin at 6:00 PM with racing at 7:00. Gates for the fair will open at 11:00 AM. Racing was synonymous with fairs around the nation until the 1960s. At that time fairs began replacing the races with musical entertainment. However, the tradition continues at some fairgrounds that have purpose built racetracks like Perris Auto Speedway on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds. "We are pleased that the Southern California Fair always includes us as part of their run every October," Perris Auto Speedway promoter Don Kazarian stated on Monday. "By allowing fans into the races with their fair ticket, we get to expose a lot of new fans to the excitement of Sprint Car racing." In addition to the races at night, fans can enjoy a plethora of fun and entertainment all day Sunday. "There will be so much for people to do at the fair on Sunday, we hope they come out and spend the entire day before the Sprint Car races," Kazarian smiled. "At 1:30 PM the Monster Trucks will be on the track and that has been extremely popular every year. In addition there will be music, livestock, rides, games and lots and lots of tasty food. It is a great fair every year." The Southern California Fair will run from October 6th through the 14th. Anyone wishing more information on the fair can visit their website at: www.socalfair.com. They can also call the fair office at: (951) 657-4221. Veteran Rip Williams, who has been racing at fairs since the 1970s, scored a popular victory last Saturday night at The PAS. It was the 51-year old Yorba Linda, California residents first Lucas Oil USAC/CRA win of 2007 and it was the 104th win of his illustrious career. That ranks him only second to the late Dean Thompson who had 116 lifetime victories. Sunday's race will be the last race for the USAC/CRA Sprint Cars at The PAS until their biggest race of the year, the 12th Annual Budweiser Oval Nationals presented by Temecula Valley Pipe & Supply, on November 1st, 2nd and 3rd. A full day of fair entertainment, Monster Trucks, fair food and the Lucas Oil USAC/CRA Sprint Cars makes for a full day of entertainment. It is the best bargain around and will take place at one spot only, the Annual Southern California Fair on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds this Sunday, October 7th!
