Perris, California — August 10, 2026 — Perris Auto Speedway roars back to life this Saturday, August 15, when Heimark Distributors Anheuser-Busch presents the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars along with PASSCAR Super Stocks, Street Stocks and Factory Stocks.
In addition to a full night of wheel-to-wheel racing, fans will enjoy bicycle giveaways, a kids' dance battle, T-shirt launches, the Heat Race Hero Contest and more. It all adds up to a fast-paced night of racing and family entertainment at the famous Riverside County clay oval.
Two of the hottest sprint car drivers at The PAS will be in action. Peoria, Arizona youngster Connor Lundy dominated the most recent race for his first USAC/CRA 410 Sprint Car victory. At the previous event, he finished second behind 2023 series champion Brody Roa.
Roa made his 2026 debut at the Salute to Indy and immediately finished second behind two-time defending champion RJ Johnson of Laveen, Arizona. He went one better in June, scoring the victory at Perris.
Last month, Roa was third-fastest in qualifying before mechanical problems struck on his second lap. Shaver Engineering returned the repaired engine Monday night, and Roa will be ready to rumble Saturday.
In addition for USAC/CRA fans, longtime USAC/CRA media guru Lance Jennings is bringing in longtime series star Matt Mitchell before Saturday's race for one of his "Heroes and Legends Meet and Greets." Popular Mitchell will be talking racing, and signing autographs for fans.
The PASSCAR championship battles are heating up as well.
Two-time champion Rick Arringdale of Victorville leads good friend John Caley by 12 points in the Super Stocks. Arringdale's most recent PAS championship came 25 years ago in 2001.
In the Factory Stocks, Canyon Lake realtor David Stites, winner of three of the last four championships, has taken over the point lead after a victory and a second-place finish in the last two races. The top four are separated by only six points. Cameron Broe of Ramona trails by three, Andrew Schmitz of Ramona is four back, and 2023 champion Kris Carnish of Menifee sits just six points out of the lead.
Chad Mahony of Yorba Linda leads the Street Stocks by 12 points over George Leventis of Rancho Palos Verdes. Mahony's teammate, Morgan Rowlan of Riverside, is third as Mahony continues his pursuit of his first PAS championship.
The excitement will continue during intermission when three lucky fans will win brand-new kids' bicycles. Every fan entering the speedway will receive a free raffle ticket, with three winning numbers drawn during the break.
Kids will also take center stage in the always-popular dance battle, with the top dancers receiving free track T-shirts. Meanwhile, the PAS crew will launch additional shirts into the grandstands.
Sprint car fans will also have a chance to participate in the Heat Race Hero Contest. Randomly selected fans who correctly pick a heat race winner will receive four free tickets to a future Perris Auto Speedway event.
The action continues one week later on August 22 when the wildly popular Night of Destruction returns for another evening of motorized mayhem.
The August schedule wraps up Saturday, August 29, with 600cc Winged Restricted Micro Sprints, Non-Wing A-Class Micros, Lightning Sprints and Dwarf Cars. It will mark the first-ever Micro Sprint event at the 30-year-old speedway and the first Perris appearances in several years for the Lightning Sprints and Dwarf Cars.
Entry forms for the Micro Sprints and Dwarf Cars, along with purse information for all four classes, are available at perrisautospeedway.com.
Spectator gates will open at 5:00 p.m. each night, with racing beginning at 7:00.
Advance tickets are available at tix.com. Tickets will also be available at the track on race night.
Perris Auto Speedway is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds at 18700 Lake Perris Drive in Perris, California. For more information, visit perrisautospeedway.com or call (951) 940-0134.
