- PASSCAR Super Stocks and Street Stocks Join USAC/CRA Sprint Cars Saturday at Perris
Perris, California — October 13, 2025 — The 2025 racing season at Perris Auto Speedway charges into the home stretch this Saturday night, October 18th, when the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars return to headline an action-packed card that also features the PASSCAR Super Stocks and Street Stocks. Spectator gates for the thrilling night of high-speed dirt track racing and family fun open at 5:00 PM, with the first green flag waving at 7:00. 536269761_31673829025541317_8566279818282748774_n.jpg Street Stock point leader Shawn Estes is undefeated at Perris Auto Speedway in 2025. Kenny Lonngren photo. The 29th season at the popular Riverside County half-mile clay oval is winding down with just five races to go. The USAC/CRA Sprint Cars and PASSCAR Stock Cars will be in action this Saturday, October 18th, November 1st, and November 8th. LKQ Pick Your Part will present the final two Nights of Destruction on October 18th and November 22nd. Going into the last Super Stock race on September 27th, it had been the year of Yucaipa's Chuck Becker. The four-time track champion was still chasing his first win of the season but had finished runner-up in the first four races and built a comfortable points lead. However, disaster struck that night, taking Becker out early and opening the door for Banning's Ricky Lee. The 2023 Super Stock champ capitalized with a big win and now trails Becker by only three points heading into Saturday's showdown. Victorville's Rick Arringdale, a former PAS stock car champ in 1998 and 2001, sits third in the standings. Beaumont's Steven Welch and Bakersfield's second-generation racer Billy Simkins round out the top five. In the PASSCAR Street Stocks, Riverside's Shawn Estes, the 2012 class champion, has been unbeatable in 2025—sweeping every heat and main event so far this season. That perfect record has earned him a commanding 22-point lead over George Leventis of Palos Verdes with three races remaining. Estes' son in law, Chad Mahony of Yorba Linda, ranks third. He is followed by Ohio transplant Evan Sennett of Riverside and 2021 champion Brandon Kelly, who are ranked fourth and fifth. On the USAC/CRA side, Laveen, Arizona's RJ Johnson—the defending series champion—has found his groove, winning the last two main events at The PAS. Those back-to-back victories, his only USAC/CRA wins of the season, have helped him stretch his lead to 65 points over Oxnard's Ricky Lewis with five races left (three at Perris and two next week at Central Arizona Raceway). Lewis, who led the standings for much of the year, still tops the win chart with eight triumphs in 2025. Four of his wins have came in the first eight races at Perris. "The Big Game Hunter" Austin Williams of Corona, San Diego's AJ Bender, and Yucaipa's Tommy "Thunder" Malcolm complete the top five. Saturday's tickets are $35.00 for those 13 years old and over. Kids (6-12) get in for $10.00. Children 5 and under are free. Parking on the fairgrounds is $20 (card only for parking). Advance tickets are available at tix.com, but plenty of walk-up tickets will also be available at the gate. Perris Auto Speedway is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds, 18700 Lake Perris Drive, Perris, California. On-site camping is available for $25 per night beginning at noon on Fridays.

- After a Week in Yosemite, Brody Roa Heads Back to Battle at Perris Auto Speedway Saturday
Cypress, CA - October 12, 2025 — After a week of camping and recharging with his wife and daughters in the majestic Yosemite National Park, a rejuvenated Brody Roa is ready to get back behind the wheel when the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series returns to Perris Auto Speedway this Saturday, October 18th. For Roa, it's the first of three races in four weeks at the legendary Riverside County half-mile oval. Saturday's showdown comes just two weeks after another impressive performance from the veteran racer at Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway, where he earned his second In Memory of Jim and Chet Gardner Hard Charger award of the season. The Garden Grove, California star has a special connection with Mohave. It is the site of one of the most thrilling victories of his career, when he stormed from 11th to win a 30-lap USAC/CRA main event in dominating fashion on October 8, 2022. At the same track two weeks ago, Roa qualified 14th out of 28 cars with a lap of 14.549. He then piloted his immaculate #91R sprint car to a convincing victory in the first heat race of the night. It was his fifth USAC/CRA heat race win of 2025. True to form, Roa started deep in the feature but wasted no time charging through the pack. In the 30-lap main event, the 34-year-old methodically picked off eight competitors to claim a hard-earned sixth-place finish. So far this season in his own #91R machine, Roa has started nine main events, finishing in the top ten every time except for one. That came in June at Perris in a race that he had just taken the lead before being sidelined by misfortune. His 2025 stats include three top-five finishes and a season-best third at Perris three weeks ago. At Perris this year, Roa's average main event finish is a solid 7.28. Remove the race he was knocked out of, and that number improves to an impressive 5.66. That fine number offers proof that "The Pride of Garden Grove" is as fast and focused as ever heading into Saturday night's return to the "Southern California Home of USAC/CRA." Spectator gates at Perris open at 5:00 p.m. with racing at 7:00. Tickets for those 13 and over are $35.00. Kids 6-12 get in for $10.00, and children 5 and under are free. The fairgrounds charge $20.00 for parking (payment for parking is by card only). Perris Auto Speedway is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds at 18700 Lake Perris Drive in the city of Perris. For more information, please visit perrisautospeedway.com or call (951) 940-0134. Roa would like to thank his 2025 sponsors, "Biker" Bruce Fischer, Burris Racing, ALR Virtual Services, Caltrol, Molecule, and Wilwood Disc Brakes. If you would like to be a marketing partner with the team in 2025, contact Roa using the information at the top of this release.

- Big Money On The Line in ESS Finale at Outlaw Speedway
By Curtis Berleue (Dundee, NY) | For one final time in 2025, the Empire Super Sprints are set to take the track on Friday at the Outlaw Speedway. As part of the annual Hoag Memorial weekend, Fridays main event will pay $4,000 to win and $400 to start, with $100 of tow money offered to drivers that don't make the show. Fridays event is also part of a two day challenge. Saturday, the CRSA 305 sprints will take the track in another $4,000 to win affair, and a $5,000 bonus has been put up for any driver that wins on Friday in 360 competition with the Empire Super Sprints and Saturday in 305 competition with the CRSA Sprints. If successful, one driver could leave the weekend with $13,000. Two separate point funds have been set aside this weekend as well, one for any driver that competes Friday in a 360 and Saturday in a 305, along with one for any driver that competes in a 305 both nights. As Fridays event is an Empire Super Sprints sanctioned event, all cars competing will need to adhere to the ESS rulebook, including having front axle tethers and running an HTC plated Medium 1 tire. Cars competing in the Saturday portion will similarly need to adhere to the CRSA rulebook. Leading the charge into the weekend is Jordan Thomas, who picked up the Empire Super Sprints win back in September at the Outlaw Speedway. Thomas is expected to have a 305 under the hood Saturday as well, in hopes of taking home the $13,000 if he can complete the weekend sweep. As the 2025 points season concluded two weeks ago at the Fulton Speedway where Jordan Poirier was crowned the champion, Friday's event at Outlaw will not award points and the standings are considered final. Gate times, prices, a schedule of events and any other pertinent information for this weekend's activities can be found on the Empire Super Sprints, CRSA Sprints and Outlaw Speedway social media pages, along with each organizations web pages. For the latest news, information, and schedule updates regarding the Empire Super Sprints be sure to check the series website (www.EmpireSuperSprints.com) and follow along on Facebook (Empire Super Sprints), X (@ESSprints) and Instagram (@empiresupersprints). The Empire Super Sprints would like to thank the following series sponsors for their continued support: Rifenburg Contracting Corp, Hoosier Racing Tire, Cobra Motorhomes & Trailers, E&V Energy, A-Verdi Storage Containers, Elab Smokers Boutique, Pinnacle Investments, LLC, Lacaillade Masonry, Inc., Wilwood Disc Brakes, FX Caprara, Lanes Yamaha, Ashley Lynn Winery, Slade Precision Shocks, Keizer Aluminum Wheels, Bicknell Racing Products, and DirtTrackDigest.com.
