(Perris, CA, February 17, 2025) After suffering a K.O. loss to Mother Nature last Saturday night, Perris Auto Speedway is ready to open its 29th season this Saturday, February 22nd, when LKQ Pick Your Part presents the “Craziest Show On Dirt,” Night of Destruction. Spectator gates for the crash-filled night of racing and clean family fun will open at 5:00 p.m., and the first crash of the night will happen at 7:00.
The famous Riverside County speed plant was all set to open the 2025 campaign last Saturday night with a show headlined by the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars and the PASSCAR Stock Car classes. However, rains on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday left the infield of the track looking like a miniature version of Lake Michigan and forced the cancelation of the highly anticipated racing program. Thus, this week’s Night of Destruction will kick off the new season on Saturday.
“Our hopes were high that we could get last week’s show in,” promoter Don Kazarian said. “With the rain we had on Thursday being persistent and so heavy, we took a look at the pit area when we got here on Friday morning and knew there was no way we could get the show in.”
“While we were looking forward to opening the year with sprint cars and stock cars, we are equally excited to open this Saturday with LKQ Pick Your Part Night of Destruction,” he continued. “It is always a great show that pleases everyone in the family from those three or four years old all the way up to the senior citizens in the crowd. The Night of Destruction show will be the same one that has become so popular over the years and appeals to everyone. On top of everything else, after the wet, cold weather that forced last week’s cancelation, the weather looks phenomenal this week. The forecast high in Perris this Saturday is 78 degrees.”
Saturday’s show will feature all five classes that have made Night of Destruction so popular. Daring Figure 8 races, a crazy Figure 8 Trailer Race, the mighty Mini Stocks on the challenging road course, no holds barred Demo Cross, and of course, the crowd favorite zany Double Deckers.
All of the crowd’s favorite drivers are expected to be on hand. Included should be four-time Figure 8 champion Earl Cox, driver of the Bat Mobile and daddy-to-be Jesse Gordon, Anthony “The Love Doctor” Guisa, Chris Martin who drives the “Hot Wheels” mini stock, defending Overall Iron Man & Figure 8 Trailer champion Michael Schattilly, Rob Multhaupt Jr., two-time Demo Cross champion Trebor Stevens and dozens more.
In addition to the racing, fans are encouraged to arrive early. From 5:15 through 5:45, all of the cars and drivers will park on the front straightaway, and all fans will be allowed onto the track to take photos and get autographs. In addition, the drivers will be passing out free candy and other goodies to the youngsters on hand.
Tickets for Saturday’s Night of Destruction are $25.00 for those ages 13 and over. For kids 6-12, it is $10.00, and children 5 and under are free. The fairgrounds charge $20.00 for parking. With a small convenience fee, advance tickets are available online at tix.com or by calling 1-800-595-4849. For fans who do not want to purchase advance tickets, plenty will be available at the ticket window on race night.
After last week’s rainout, sprint cars and stock cars will open their 2025 season when the track hosts the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Series along with the PAS Young Gun and Senior Sprints and the PASSCAR Street and Factory Stocks on March 1st.
