For Immediate Release 

SPRINT CAR AND STOCK CAR DIRT TRACK RACING SATURDAY AT PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY

(Perris, CA, April 22, 2024)  The PASSCAR Super Stocks, Factory Stocks, GAS Chassis Young Gun Sprints, and the Senior Sprints will join the Avanti Windows & Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars for an exciting night of racing this Saturday, April 27th, at Perris Auto Speedway.  Spectator gates for the quintuple division show will open at 5:00 p.m. with racing at 7:00. 

Multiple-time track champions Billy Griffin of Buena Park and Yucaipa’s Chuck Becker will lock horns in the Super Stock class.  In 2021 Griffin scored a hat trick by winning his only Super Stock title and the IMCA and PAS Modified crowns.  He was also the track Modified “Points King” in 2013.  Becker has won three Modified titles at the track.  His trio of triumphs came back, to back, to back.  The first was The PAS title in 2016.  He followed that up with IMCA championships in 2017, and 2018.   

Billy Grifffin leads the Super Stock standings.

Griffin and Becker finished first and second respectively in the season opener in February.  Griffin has a mere one-point advantage over Becker coming into Saturday’s race.  Banning’s Ricky Lee, the defending Super Stock champion, and Tyler Gitmed of Chino are tied for third and are only four points off the lead coming into the race.  “Hot Rod” John Caley of Glen Avon Heights holds down fifth.

Chuck Becker is second in the Super Stocks. 

Like the Super Stocks, the PASSCAR American Factory Stocks will be making their second appearance of 2024.  Their first showing came last month and David Uraine of Menifee bested Santa Ana’s James Keller, who was making his first appearance in two years.  Uraine will enter Saturday’s race with a two-point advantage over Keller in the point standings.  Ethan “The Polish Boy” Kintop of Nuevo, is third while Riverside’s Albert Jurado, and Perris local Joseph Pack are tied for fourth.

Local Cody Deloye of Riverside holds a slender four-point lead over Brecken Guererro in the GAS Chassis Young Guns.  In the Senior Sprints, Bob Suchy of Tustin has won the first two main events of the year and leads fellow Orange County resident Greg Badgwell of Buena Park by eight points heading into Saturday.  Nuevo’s Mike Kotlinski is third.

The GAS Chassis Young Gun Series and Senior Sprints will be making their third appearance of the year.
