Busy 25th Anniversary Season On Tap At Perris

PERRIS, Calif. – Perris Auto Speedway promoter Don Kazarian has released the full racing schedule for the 25th anniversary season at the Riverside County clay oval.

Next season will be the busiest for the track in several years. Sprint cars will supply the entertainment on a dozen nights.

The PASSCAR Series and IMCA Modified shows will have 13 programs and the popular LKQ Pick Your Part Night of Destruction show will entertain the fans nine times.

Highlights on the schedule include the 25th season opener, featuring a Night of Destruction on March 6. The World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series will make its only Southern California appearance of 2021 at Perris on March 20, when the Outlaws are joined by the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series, and the PAS Senior Sprints.

The brand new SoCal Sportsman Sprint Car Series will make its debut at the annual Salute to Indy, which will also feature the USAC/CRA and PAS Senior Sprints, on May 22.

As has been the tradition, July 4 will feature the biggest fireworks spectacular in Riverside County, along with a Night of Destruction.

A couple of new events will be the Summer Campfest Series. The first Campfest will include the USAC/CRA Sprints, Senior Sprints and So Cal Sportsman Sprints on July 16-17.

It will be followed by Summer Campfest II, featuring the PASSCAR Super Stocks, Street Stocks, American Factory Stocks, and the IMCA Modifieds on Sept. 4-5.

The 25th Oval Nationals presented by All Coast Construction on Nov. 4-6 will conclude the 2021 sprint car campaign. All three nights will be full shows for the combined USAC National Sprint Car, USAC/CRA Sprint Car and USAC Southwest Sprint Car fields.

The 25th anniversary season will end on Nov. 13 with PASSCAR Champions Night.

Official rules for the new SoCal Sportsman Sprint Car Series will be published on or before Jan. 2.

“(Wife) Kim and I, along with the entire staff at Perris, are eager to welcome back the race teams and race fans in 2021,” Kazarian said. “All of us mourn the loss of our race team members and race fans who have passed away this year. Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone during this holiday season. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.”
