(Perris, CA, July 24, 2015) Even though the race is more than three months away, early entries continue to come in for the historic 20th Annual Budweiser Oval Nationals Presented by All Coast Construction at Perris Auto Speedway on November 12th, 13th and 14th. More than 50 of the nation’s top sprint car drivers are expected to vie for the event record purse of more than $120,000.00.
Rising Anaheim, California star Jake Swanson, a past USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year, has been entered in the famous Moose Racing #92 that is housed in Huntington Beach. Swanson, who contested Indiana Sprint Week for the first time last week, has been fast qualifier at three of the first six USAC/CRA races at The PAS in 2015. In addition to the#92, the Moose team has also entered #92m for the fall speed fest on the Riverside County half-mile clay oval.

Hollister, California’s Ryan Bernal will be driving the pretty Michael Phulps #56 at the three day race. Bernal initially caught the attention of PAS fans the first night of the 2011 Oval Nationals. Having never been on the track before, he shocked everyone that evening by out qualifying a 49-car field comprised of the top USAC National and USAC/CRA stars.

Longtime Tipton, California star “Hollywood” Danny Faria Jr. will be driving his own #17 at this year’s Oval Nationals. The 43-year-old won the USAC West Coast Series championship in 2013 and heading into this weekend’s Peter Murphy Classic at the Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, he has a commanding 121-point lead in the championship standings over Visalia, California’s Richard Vander Weerd.

Kevin Thomas Jr, will be in the Michael Dutcher #17w at the November race. The Cullman, Alabama driver has been busy thus far in 2015 and has already appeared in more than 50 races in non-wing sprint cars, winged sprint cars, midgets and silver crown cars. Thus far he has seven wins including the USAC National Sprint Car main event in Gibsonton, Florida on February 26th. Currently he is sixth in the Amsoil USAC National Sprint Car standings and he leads Honda USAC National Midget standings.

The two preliminary nights, Thursday and Friday, will each pay $5,000.00 to win and $500.00 to start.
