Attica A-Main Challenge put into place to create more excitement for 2026 season.
ATTICA, OH - Long time race fans can remember when the previous week's feature winner had to start last in the following week's feature. For 2026, Attica Raceway Park will incorporate a twist on that concept for weekly, non-sanctioned events called the Attica A-Main Challenge. "We are always looking for ways to add excitement to our racing program," said Attica Promoter John Bores. HOW IT WORKS The winner of the previous weekly race will start sixth in the following week's A-main if a two heat format is incorporated or will start eighth in the A-main in a three heat or more format. Sanctioned races such as the World of Outlaws, All Star Circuit of Champions and Iron Man series and the Attica John Bores Anniversary Special are not included in this format. The previous week's feature winner must make the redraw through their heat race. Also, Bores is offering bonus money. Should the driver come from the designated starting position (sixth or eighth) and win the A-main again, the driver will earn a $1,000 bonus (410 sprints); $750 bonus (late models) and $500 bonus (305 sprints). Bores also announced the three weekly divisions of the Callie's Performance Products 410 Sprints, the Dirt Nerds Podcast Powered by Propane UMP Late Models and the Fremont Fence 305 Sprints will compete for a combined $50,000 point fund to be distributed to the top 10 in points at the end of the year. Attica Raceway Park is set to open the 2026 season Friday, March 13. Located in Attica, Ohio, Attica Raceway Park has been a cornerstone of dirt track racing since 1988 earning a reputation for competitive racing, dedicated fans, and a welcoming racing community.

Meet Perris Auto Speedway New Race Director Steve Russell
Perris, California — February 9, 2026 — When Perris Auto Speedway kicks off its historic 30th Diamond Anniversary season this Saturday, February 14, there will be a new race director for the PASSCAR classes and subsequent Nights of Destruction beginning on February 21. Taking over for longtime race director Steve Aldis is past Southern California First Division Speedway Motorcycle racer Steve Russell. Russell first came to the track, affectionately known to fans as "The PAS," before COVID, when he took over as the scoreboard operator. Unfortunately, due to his commitment to his day job, he had to step aside. Three years ago, when track starter Kevin Winters moved to Minnesota, the famous Riverside County speed plant put out the word that it was looking to hire a starter. Russell, who lives in Temecula, California, said his day job had changed and he would like to apply for the job. As soon as promoter Don Kazarian got word that Russell wanted to apply, the search was over. He said the job was his. The past motorcycle racer excelled in the new post. In addition to flagging PASSCAR Stock Car Races and the USAC/CRA Sprint Cars, he also flagged World of Outlaws and High Limit Sprint Cars at the track. Once again, he took to the job immediately and did an impressive job. That brought us to 2025 and Aldis' decision to step aside from his long-time race director position. This time, there was not a hunt to hire someone. Kazarian immediately wanted Russell to fill the role. When the promoter asked him if he wanted the job, Russell quickly accepted. "Steve has the demeanor I was looking for," Kazarian said. "He has experience. He spent enough time last year to be seasoned in that job and do it like a pro in 2026. Steve Aldiss did a great job training him." On Monday night, Russell took some time to talk about his racing background and the new position. PAS: Race Director is another new job for you at Perris Auto Speedway. How excited are you about this? Russell: I am really excited. I am looking forward to it, with it being the 30th year for Perris Auto Speedway. It is going to be some great racing and fun for the fans. I like the position, and I like working with all of the drivers and the team at Perris Auto Speedway. Being able to work with Don is exciting as well. PAS: After such a long time being involved in Speedway Motorcycle racing, did you ever think you would be working in auto racing? Russell: I did not think I would work in auto racing. That is a funny question. I always liked going (to auto races) but I did not see myself working in it. I kind of got the bug when I was doing the scoreboard. Then it was exciting being the starter. Now I am looking forward to this new adventure. PAS: Let's talk about your grandpa, Warren Russell. He was big into racing, including Indy Cars. Russell: Yes, my grandpa was big into Indy Cars. He had some friends who ran the Indy 500 and actually won the Indy 500 (Jim Rathmann in 1960). Grandpa would go every year and spend some time back at Indy. He had a drag race funny car, a couple of top fuel hydros. He had a land speed record for a while. I have always been around some form of racing. PAS: Your grandpa had a company name Russell and Russell. One of my favorite stories about him is that his company put in the initial grandstands at Ascot in the 1950s, and about 38 years later, it put the initial grandstands in at Perris Auto Speedway. He also put grandstands in at the 1984 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles and every year at the Rose Parade. Russell: Yes, he did have a construction company. Looking back, I started working there at a really young age. Before that, I would go in and hang out with him during the day. Working there taught me a lot. A little about everything. Driving a forklift, towing a forklift, loading trucks, and doing some construction stuff. Looking back, it was a great learning experience and taught me a lot. PSA: He also got you started in racing. How did that come about, and what persuaded you to race Speedway? Russell: I was at the office one day with him. I had been doing some motocross riding for fun. I asked him what he thought about going motocross racing. He thought that was kind of dangerous and said let's look at Speedway. I kind of laughed as we were going to do Speedway with no brakes. He got me a bike and the stuff I needed to go with it. We started going every weekend to Ken Maely's place in Corona. We would go there and ride every weekend. PAS: If I remember correctly, that was the mid-80s, correct? Russell: That was probably 1985, and I started competing in Speedway in 1986. That was in Third Division. I moved all the way up to First Division with him. He sponsored me in my time doing that. I rode First Division for a lot of years in So Cal. We had a great time doing it together. I ended up getting hurt in 1991 or 1992. I had reconstructive knee surgery and stepped away from racing for a really long time. We actually moved out of state for a bit, but we came back in 2010. My grandpa and I were having lunch together again. I looked at him and said, 'What do you think about going Speedway racing again?' So we started racing again from 2010 to 2015. PAS: Your grandpa not only sponsored you, but he sponsored and helped a lot of the top riders in So Cal. That exposed you to some other riders. Which of those guys helped you? Russell: Bobby Schwartz was a big help to me. My grandpa started sponsoring him right when I was moving into Second Division. My grandpa helped him, and Bobby helped me. Steve Lucero was a big help. Kelly Inman was a big help, too. Actually, for a season or two, we actually worked together. He sponsored me, built a bike for me, and I rode for him. PAS: Lets go back to your new job at Perris. Is there anything you can think of that may be a challenge for you? Russell: I think there is going to be a learning curve for sure at the beginning. I was directing the races for the last couple of months at the end of 2025. Steve (Aldis) was a huge help in transitioning and getting me into that role, and learning. I think the biggest part will be knowing the rules right away when they happen. I have had the whole off-season to brush up on that. When I am up in the press box, I will have my notebook and everything to help. What I hope to do is run fair racing for everybody. Keep it safe and keep the program moving along. Being there to listen to the drivers, but also keep a firm hand on what is going on as well. It is really fast-paced, and there is a lot going on in the press box that you have to block out because there are so many of us up there. I think it is going to be a good season. PAS: Anything else to add about your new gig? Russell: I am thankful to Don for the opportunity to be the race director. I am also thankful for Steve spending that extra time working with me and helping me move into this position. Also, the whole Perris Auto Speedway team. It is a great group of guys that work really well together. I am thankful for that as well. When Russell moved up to the press box, Chris Fulton, whose father is track man Rick "Coach" Fulton, immediately took over as the starter at the track. Saturday's triple header season opener will featurethe Avantia Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars, and the PASSCAR Street Stocks and American Factory Stocks.
