The Craziest Show on Dirt, LKQ Pick Your Part Night of Destruction, Returns to Perris Auto Speedway This Saturday

2025-09-18 13:31

Perris, California — September 16, 2025 — After what many fans are calling the wildest LKQ Pick Your Part Night of Destruction ever three weeks ago, the crash-'em-up, tear-'em-up, rip-'em-up madness returns to Perris Auto Speedway this Saturday night, September 20th. The evening of family fun will feature Figure 8 racing, a Figure 8 Trailer race, Mini Stocks on the road course, Democross, and of course, the ever-popular Double Deckers. Spectator gates open at 5:00 p.m., and the first crash will take place at approximately at 7:02.

"It was hard to believe what we were seeing at the last Night of Destruction," promoter Don Kazarian said. "It was so wild you didn't know where to look, because crashes were happening all over the track at the same time."

The wildest moment of the night came in the Democross Main Event. As the checkered flag flew, Alex Kiss of Riverside—driving his Dale Earnhardt Jr. tribute SUV—ended up perched on top of a boat, which was sitting on top of a giant tractor tire right at the start/finish line. The packed crowd roared as Kiss climbed out and celebrated by dancing on top of his #8 machine.

"When you come to Night of Destruction, you know you're going to see crazy things," Kazarian added. "But an SUV on top of a boat that was on top of a tire? That was unbelievable. And just when you think these drivers can't top what you've seen, they go out and do it. I don't know how, but I'm sure they'll top it again. Maybe this Saturday."

With three events left in the 2025 season, championship battles are heating up. The tightest point races are in Demo Cross and Mini Stocks. In Demo Cross, Corona's Brett Wayland holds a slim nine-point lead over two-time defending champion Trebor Stephens of San Jacinto. That's the same margin Lake Elsinore's Steven Green Sr., the defending Mini Stock champion, has over his son, Steven Green Jr.

In the other divisions, Beaumont's Jesse Gordon, a three-time Figure 8 champion, leads four-time champ Earl Cox of Norco by 18 points. In Figure 8 Trailer competition, Lane Hoffarth of San Jacinto has a 33-point cushion over his son Kyle. In the Double Deckers, Lonnie and Cale Skillman, piloting the "Bug Ya' Later," are aiming for their second straight title, with an 18-point lead over "Ghost Busters" drivers John Flowers and Kevin Sauceda.

In the overall Iron Man standings—combining points from all classes—Orange's Rob Multhaupt has a commanding 168-point lead over Lane Hoffarth. Kyle Hoffarth sits third, followed by Riverside's Austin Kinnane and Gordon.

Fans are encouraged to arrive early for the expanded on-track autograph, photo, and candy giveaway session with all drivers and cars from 5:15-6:00 p.m.

Tickets: Adults (13 & up) $25. Kids (6-12) $10. Children 5 and under are free. Parking on the fairgrounds is $20 (card only). Advance tickets are available at tix.com, but plenty of walk-up tickets will also be available at the gate.
