PERRIS, CALIFORNIA – NOVEMBER 1, 2025… Taking command from “The Big Game Hunter” Austin Williams on the third lap, Mitchel Moles led the rest of the way to score the first Avanti Windows & Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car win of his career at Perris Auto Speedway. Driving the Reinbold-Underwood Motorsports #19AZ Spike, the Raisin City, California driver finished ahead of Williams, hard charger R.J. Johnson, Hayden Reinbold (from tenth), and “The Pride of Garden Grove” Brody Roa. For his efforts, Mitchel also scored an extra $500 bonus from series title sponsor, Avanti Windows & Doors.
For the majority of the 30-lap main event, Moles who primarily races with the USAC National Series in the Midwest, had to fend off Williams as both drivers raced multiple laps side by side on a two groove surface and around slower traffic. When the checkered flag waved, the night belonged to Moles, who became the eighty-eighth winning driver with USAC/CRA dating back to 2004.
Moles began the evening by posting his fourth career Woodland Auto Display / WC Friend Company Access Systems Fast Time Award with a time of 16.328 seconds over David Gasper, “KTJ” Kevin Thomas Jr., “The Bull” Tye Mihocko, Roa, and the rest of the 20-car roster.
Buckeye, Arizona’s “Chargin” Charles Davis Jr. roared to the 10-lap WC Friend Company Access Systems / In Honor of Wiley Miler Sr. & Wiley Miller II / Silbermann Solar First Heat Race triumph aboard his #47 DRC. Newly crowned two-time USAC/CRA Champion, R.J. Johnson of Laveen, Arizona piloted the Petty Performance Racing #33P Sherman to the In Memory of Jim & Chet Gardner / Sexton Fire Protection / Factory Wraps Second Heat Race victory. For Davis, it was his sixth heat race win and the series leading ninth heat triumph for Johnson.
Starting twelfth, R.J. Johnson earned his second In Memory of Jim and Chet Gardner Hard Charger Award / “Best Passing Job” honors of the season with a third place run at the Lake Perris Fairgrounds after starting twelfth.
Next Saturday, November 8th, the Avanti Windows & Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series will return to Perris Auto Speedway for their last race of the season.
