(Perris, CA, October 4, 2021) The first four entries for the 25th Annual Heimark Anheuser Busch Budweiser Oval Nationals have arrived at the Perris Auto Speedway office. The race, which pits the best drivers from the West Coast against the biggest talents in the Midwest, will take place on November 4th, 5th, and 6th.

Chino Hills, California’s Eddie Tafoya Jr., Verne Sweeney of Lomita, California, and the Arizona duo of Charles Davis Jr. from Buckeye and Peoria resident Tye “The Bull” Mihocko have all signed up for the prestigious race on the Southern California half-mile clay oval.

“It is always fun to receive the first entries for the Oval Nationals,” promoter Don Kazarian said. “It sets the excitement in action for our biggest sprint car race of the year. Charles Davis Jr., Eddie Tafoya Jr., and Tye Mihocko have all won races at The PAS. Davis just won his second USAC/CRA race here a little over a week ago. Tafoya, who was the track Young Guns champion in 2018, and Mihocko both won main events in the old Young Guns Series. Verne Sweeney has never won a main event at The PAS, but very few sprint car drivers have turned in more laps on the track than he has. And, this year, he is having his best season in a long time.”

All three nights of racing will be full shows with qualifying, heat races, preliminary mains, and A Main events.
