(Perris, CA, January 5, 2022) Perris Auto Speedway promoter Don Kazarian is pleased to release the track’s 2022 schedule. The season will be the 26th year of competition for the widely known racing facility.
The 2022 campaign will feature 27 exciting nights of racing action on the West Coast’s premier dirt track. Widely known for its long association with sprint cars, the open-wheel discipline leads the way with 10 dates this year. The Amsoil USAC/CRA and the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Cars will kick off the open-wheel portion of the schedule with the SoCal Showdown on March 26th. The PAS Senior and Young Gun Sprint Cars will partner up and race together at each USAC/CRA Sprint Car show through the month of October.
The sprint car schedule will include several special dates throughout the campaign. Included will be the SoCal Showdown, the Sokola Shootout on April 30th, the Salute to Indy on May 28th, the inaugural Bubby Jones/Ray Sheetz Memorial on June 25th, the California Racer’s Hall of Fame Night on August 20th, and the September 17th Glenn Howard Classic. The open-wheel season will close with the 26th Annual Heimark/Anheuser Busch Oval Nationals presented by All Coast Construction featuring the USAC/CRA and USAC National Sprint Cars on November 3rd, 4th, and 5th.
The wildly popular Night of Destruction presented by LKQ Pick Your Part will bookend the track’s 26th year beginning with the season-opening event on March 5th and the year’s finale on November 12th. All told there will be nine Nights of Destruction in 2022 and each will feature Figure 8 racing, Figure 8 Trailer races, Mini Stocks on the road course, Demo Cross, and the crazy Double Deckers. Included after two years off will be the annual Fireworks Spectacular/Night of Destruction on Saturday, July 2nd.
The 26th season of PASSCAR Stock Car racing will see eight nights of action in 2022. Headlined by the powerful and growing super stock class, PASSCAR nights will also feature street stocks, factory stocks, and for the first time, IMCA sport compacts
Fans will notice a change to PASSCAR nights in 2022. Except for the March 19th PASSCAR lid lifter and “Champions Night” on October 22nd, the IMCA modifieds will be making six of their eight appearances on the same card with the AMSOIL USAC/CRA, Sprint Cars from April through September.
Another addition to the schedule happens on September 17th. For the first time in several years, Lightning Sprint Cars will be back at The PAS. They will be joining the USAC/CRA Series and the IMCA modifieds that night. It will be the first-ever POWRi sanctioned Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series race on the famous half-mile clay oval.
