PASSCAR Super and Street Stocks Join Sprint Cars Saturday at Perris

PERRIS, CA (June 17, 2025) — PASSCAR Stock Car Racing returns to Perris Auto Speedway this Saturday night, June 21st, when the popular Super Stocks and Street Stocks join the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars for a tripleheader show on the famous half-mile clay oval. It will mark the second appearance of the season for the Super Stocks and the third for the Street Stocks.

So far this year, Mother Nature has been the biggest winner in the Super Stock class. Inclement weather has wiped out two events, making Saturday's race just the second for the division in 2025. The only appearance of the supers thus far this year came 2 ½ months ago on April 5th, when Riverside's Tyson Talkington edged out Yucaipa's Chuck Becker in a competitive 20-lap main event. Thanks to Becker's stronger performance in the preliminary heat races that night, the two drivers enter Saturday's showdown tied atop the championship point standings.

Despite his impressive showing in April, Talkington—a 38-year-old father of two and the 2022 Super Stock champion at The PAS, probably will not be a factor for the title this year. He currently oversees the kids racing classes at Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway, which sometimes has conflicts with the PAS schedule. That commitment will keep him from running a full season at Perris.

"We are going to bring the Super Stock out and I am going to be doing double duty in a Street Stock on Saturday as well," Talkington said while prepping his cars on Tuesday. "I run the kids' program at Mohave, and when they race, I have to be there. Even if it is a night when I am not racing but the kids are racing, like say with the sprint cars, I have to be there."

His connection to the kids' classes began when The PAS hosted the So Cal Oval Karters Club on Saturday afternoons. His daughter Sadielee turned in her first laps on the infield track in a mini dwarf car at age five. In 2022, the same year Tyson won the Super Stock title, Sadielee captured the Mohave Mini Dwarf Sportsman championship. Now nine years old, she is competing in the Mini Dwarf Masters division and currently sits second in the standings at Mohave. That gives her bragging rights over her father, who is sixth in the IMCA Modified class at the same track.

A former motocross and speedway motorcycle racer, Talkington has turned into a top-notch, adaptable auto racer, driving and winning in both IMCA Modifieds and Super Stocks. Proof of that point was his winning the track championships in both classes at Mohave Valley last year. After the kids, Modifieds are now his main racing focus.

"I noticed that in the modifieds, you can go to a lot more tracks to race at," he said via phone. "We got hold of one and have just been having fun with it. I love trying out different racetracks, seeing new things, and meeting different people."

The racing tradition continues with the youngest member of the family, 4-year-old Brooks, who is eager to follow in his sister's tire tracks. Brooks has been practicing in a go-kart on a small dirt oval behind their home in a go-kart that belonged to a family friend. Talkington acquired one of the arrive-and-drive go-karts from California Speedway when it closed. Now he cuts laps with Brooks on the backyard oval. He thinks Brooks will debut competitively at Mohave Valley when the 2025 season resumes in September.

"I just enjoy racing," Talkington answered when asked what his racing future holds. "My daughter enjoys doing it, and it is something we can do together. So, as long as we are having fun, we are going to keep doing it. I really hope that someday she steps up and we can race in the same class. She asked me the other day what would be next when her time comes and she ages out (of the mini dwarfs). I guess we will get to that point when it comes and just go from there."

Currently, Talkington's shop houses five race cars: two Super Stocks, one IMCA Modified, and two IMCA Stock Cars. This Saturday at Perris, the team will field a Super Stock and Stock Car for Talkington and also bring out the second Super Stock for longtime PAS competitor and Talkington's father-in-law, "Hot Rod" John Caley.

In the PASSCAR Street Stocks, Shawn Estes of Riverside has been the class of the field through the first two races, winning both main events. The veteran driver has a six-point lead over Rancho Palos Verdes racer George Leventis after two races. Third spot, only five points out of second, is Ohio native and current Riverside resident Evan Sennett.

Spectator gates will open at 5:00 p.m. with racing getting underway at 7:00 p.m.
