- Visiting Drivers Join USAC/CRA Regulars at Perris Auto Speedway Saturday
Perris, California — August 13, 2025 — When Heimark Distributors/Anheuser Busch presents the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars at Perris Auto Speedway this Saturday night, August 16th, the series regulars will have company. Five series non-regulars — Max Adams, Marty Hawkins, Heath Holdsclaw, Chris Gansen, and Brody Roa — will take on the fastest traditional sprint cars west of the Mississippi. Also on the card are the PASSCAR Super and Street Stocks. Adams, a Loomis, California native now based in Indiana, will pilot a Dwight Cheney-owned car. The 2016 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year and 2020 Gas City Speedway champion owns four career USAC/CRA wins. He posted single wins in 2017 and 2018 at the Santa Maria Speedway. His last series triumphs came four years ago when he scored wins two weeks apart at Kern and the Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare. Hawkins, from Santa Rosa, which is about an hour north of San Francisco, returns to The PAS for the first time in over a decade. While he is from Northern California, he is no stranger to the area, as he attended college in Azusa. The likable driver has one win with USAC/CRA. That came at the Ocean Speedway in Watsonville in 2013. He'll be driving for Cheney and Hawkins Motorsports on Saturday. Holdsclaw makes the long trip from Meadow Vista, located between San Francisco and Reno, for his second PAS start of the year. On his first trip to the Riverside County half-mile clay oval in July, he qualified 17th and placed eighth in his heat. He wrapped up the night by steering his dad, Tony's sharp #33 Maxim Chassis/Don Ott Engine from 16th to 13th in the 30-lap main event. Veteran Gansen will make his 2025 season debut on Saturday. A past series regular, the Verdemont Heights driver has been focusing on his 10-year-old son Landon's quarter midget career for the past two years. The longtime USAC/CRA competitor's family has deep roots at the track, competing in lightning sprints, midgets, sprint cars, and now quarter midgets at the track located just behind the PAS main grandstands. While Roa, the 2023 USAC/CRA champion, is considered a track regular, he missed the last PAS race as it fell on the same day as his daughter Rylee's second birthday party. Earlier this season, he posted finishes of 6th, 7th, 8th, and 21st. The latter came on June 21st. After steering his bright green #91R into the lead, the 34-year-old was knocked out of the race after contact with another car. They'll all face stiff competition from PAS regulars, including point leader Ricky Lewis, defending champ RJ Johnson, "The Big Game Hunter" Austin Williams, A.J. Bender, David Gasper, July PAS winner Tommy "Thunder" Malcolm, Matt Mitchell, and more. Tickets: Adults (13+) $35, Kids (6-12) $10, Children 5 & under free. Fairgrounds parking $20. Advance Tickets: tix.com/ticket-sales/pas/7 — Walk-up sales available at the gate. The famous track is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds at 18700 Lake Perris Drive in the City of Perris. Tickets for the September 13th World of Outlaws NOS Energy Sprint Cars and Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car doubleheader are available at https://bit.ly/42Dssil.

- Bounties put on division leaders at Attica Raceway Park
ATTICA, Ohio - Sometimes things change, sometimes they stay the same. The dominance of the three point leaders at Attica Raceway Park in 2025 has not changed from a year ago. In the Callies Performance 410 Sprints three time and defending Attica champion Cap Henry has a 138 point lead with 4 wins in 12 races. In the DirtNerds Podcast Powered by Propane UMP Late Models defending track champion Kyle Moore has a 79 point lead with 2 wins in 11 races. In the Fremont Fence 305 Sprints five time and defending track champion Jamie Miller has a 26 point lead with 5 wins in 11 races. Going into the last three full points nights, (Aug. 15, Aug. 22 and Sept. 5) Attica Raceway Park will put a bounty on all three division point leaders. The bounty will start at an extra $500 to any driver who can beat Cap Henry, Kyle Moore, or Jamie Miller. If those drivers win Friday, Aug. 15 the bounty will rise to $600 for Aug. 22. If Henry, Moore or Miller win Aug. 22 the bounty will rise to $1,000 on championship night. "Our weekly competition is tough in all three divisions. For these three drivers to be so dominant all year really says something about them and their teams," said John Bores, Attica Raceway Park Promoter. In order to collect the bounty the point leaders need to be competing in the A-Main. Once a bounty is collected it will then be taken away from that driver. "Usually you only see a bounty in one division…we have it in all three! Im looking forward to see who can take down the point leaders and take home these bounties," said Justin Liskai, Attica Raceway Park Director of Operations.

- Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Gennetten looks to celebrate birthday with POWRi 410 Winged Sprint win
WHEATLAND, MO. (Aug. 13, 2025) - Ayrton Gennetten turns 26 on Saturday and gets to celebrate his birthday doing what he loves, which is going fast in a 410 Winged Sprint car. The ultimate present, of course, would be to unwrap a feature victory at the 14th annual Impact Signs, Awnings & Wraps Open-Wheel Showdown Presented by Heritage Tractor at Lucas Oil Speedway. Gennetten will have plenty of family and friends on hand as it's a "home" appearance of sorts, as he's from about an hour and a half away in Versailles. "It's really important to have a lot of races close to home on our schedule," Gennetten said. "That's what is so great about the POWRi deal, having so many 410 races close to home. It's a big thing to me, having my family there. Stuff like that makes it a little more exciting knowing you can race in front of family, friends, fans and sponsors." Gennetten is set to continue his pursuit of a third straight POWRi 410 Outlaw Winged Sprint championship as he has a 40-point lead over Joe B. Miller entering the weekend, which begins on Friday at Lakeside Speedway. With two wins and top-10 finishes in all nine POWRi 410 events, Gennetten is pleased with the consistency of his season. The third-generation open-wheel racer said he obviously would like to have more than two wins in a schedule that's seen him race 30 times overall, including last week's Knoxville Nationals where he fell just short of making the big show. "It wasn't bad," Gennetten said of Knoxville. "We tore a car up at Pevely the week before and blew a motor at Oskaloosa two nights before Knoxville. It wasn't an ideal week, but it was one of those things where every time you go you learn something. I think we learned a little something about our race car and that will help us get a little better for what's coming up this week." As for the season, Gennetten said the team has been gaining speed "and at the end of the day that's what you want." He noted that three nights at the Kubota High Limit Series at Lucas Oil Speedway in late June, in which he was a top-10 qualifier in two of the nights with feature finishes just outside the top 10 all three nights were educational. "Lucas Oil is a beautiful facility. When they get the track right, it produces some really good racing," Gennetten said. "I feel really optimistic coming there this weekend. We were pretty strong at the High Limit, just missed the set-up a little bit. I think we've learned from then to now to be better so I'm obviously excited to go back. "This is kind of a tuneup for the Hockett (Memorial) and to use it as kind of a steppingstone to that would be great. I'm real excited for this weekend. It's one of the few times I get to race on my birthday." If he's able to widen his POWRi points lead, even better. Winning a third straight championship is a goal. "Coming into the season it's always your goal, especially if you're gonna run something like that, to try and win it," Gennetten said. "With the point fund being so healthy this year, it would be really nice to win it again. Also, to have so many guys running it and such a good level of competition, it makes it that much more a goal to get it done and add another tick on your resume." Whether it's POWRi, High Limit or other sanctioning bodies, Genentten said that 410 Sprint racing is probably better than it's ever been. "I think the level of competition night in and night out is probably the toughest it has been, ever, from the local stuff to the national stuff," Genentten said. "You're not gonna go anywhere in the country and race a 410 Sprint and not race against the best competition or the guys with the best stuff. "The level of guys you race against, the competition is the toughest you'll find across any sanctioning bodies. The competition in 410s is so diverse with so many good drivers, it's definitely at the top of its game." The triple header of open-wheel divisions includes the POWRi 305 Wing Sprints and POWRi WAR/MWRA Wholesale Batteries Challenge Series.
