GLENN HOWARD CLASSIC FOR THE USAC/CRA SPRINT CARS IS THIS SATURDAY AT PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY

(Perris, CA, September 18, 2023) The Amsoil USAC/CRA Sprint Cars return to Perris Auto Speedway for one of the most coveted races in the series, the annual Glenn Howard Classic this Saturday night, September 23rd. The race honors the past racer, owner, official, and innovator who played a significant role in the original CRA, the formation of the SCRA, and the current USAC/CRA. In addition to the USAC/CRA Sprint Cars, the PAS Senior and Young Gun Sprints and the PASSCAR Super Stocks will also be in action.

“It is hard to believe that we have been hosting this race so long,” Perris Auto Speedway promoter Don Kazarian said. “Glenn was a huge part of the sprint car story here in California. He was around forever and one who could always be counted on for advice. Not only for drivers, but also crew chiefs, officials, and promoters as well. Glenn, his wife Pat and sons Steve and Gary are major figures in the history of sprint car racing on the West Coast. They are all sorely missed.“

“We started the Glen Howard Classic in 2008 after Glen passed away,” Kazarian said before the 2022 running of the event. “At that time, virtually every driver in the series knew Glen. Either as an official, car owner or through his business. So, right out of the bag, this race was a big deal and everybody really wanted to win it. These days, many of the drivers from the first few editions of the race are no longer competing. Except for a handful of drivers who were racing back then, a majority of the field these days may not have personally known Glen. However, a crew member or a parent may have been racing or been around him. They have passed on the importance of the race to these younger drivers. Thus, it remains one of the most significant and coveted races on our schedule.”

Garden Grove, California’s Brody Roa leads the USAC/CRA into Perris on Saturday night. The veteran has won eight of the first 13 main events of the season driving for car owners Tom and Christy Dunkel. He carries a three-race win streak into Saturday’s show and he has parlayed his wins into a commanding 151-point lead over Yucaipa’s Tommy “Thunder” Malcolm. Corona’s Austin “The Big Game Hunter” Williams of Corona, who got engaged last weekend, and his brother Cody “The Cadillac” Williams are third and fourth. The fifth spot is currently being held down by San Diego’s AJ Bender.

After Saturday’s show, there will only be four races left in the series in 2023. On October 14th the series will make its third visit of the year to Arizona’s Mohave Valley Raceway. On November 3rd and 4th, the action will head to Cocopah Speedway near Yuma. The series will wind up the campaign at Perris on November 11th.

In addition to the USAC/CRA Sprint Cars, the up-and-coming young drivers in the PAS Young Gun Series, PAS Senior Sprints and PASSCAR Super Stocks will also be in action.

In the Senior Sprints, Ed Schwarz has a comfortable 27-point lead over defending champion Dale Gamer with just two races to go. Bob Suchy of Tustin is third.

Talented dancer Blake Hendricks of Simi Valley has a narrow seven-point lead over recent high school graduate Elexa Herrera in the Young Guns championship chase. Apple Valley’s Cash Culp trails Herrera by one point. Defending champion Stevie Rogers of Apple Valley and Brandon Nelson of Agua Dulce are tied for fourth, 19-points out of the lead.

With two races to go in the PASSCAR Super Stock season, four drivers have a realistic shot at winning the 2023 title. Beaumont’s Ricky Lee leads the way with 119 points. Chuck Becker of Yucaipa, a three-time Modified champion at the track, is only one point behind. Defending champ Tyson Talkington of Riverside, who won the last race on August 14th, is only five points out of first. Fourth place is held by Buena Park’s Billy Griffin, who has three track titles to his name, including the 2021 Modified and Super Stocks championships. He trails Lee by 13 points.

Spectator gates for the night of clean family fun and breathtaking sprint car action will open at 5:00 p.m. The first race will take the green flag at 7:00. Adult tickets to Saturday’s race are $30.00. Seniors 65 and over get in for $25.00. For kids 6-12 it is just $5.00 and children 5 and under are free.

Advance tickets for every regular race at The PAS are available until 7:00 p.m. on race day online at https://www.tix.com/ticket-sales/pas/7 or by calling 1-800-595-4849. For fans who do not wish to buy advance tickets, there will be plenty available for everyone at the ticket window each race night.

Macon Speedway Drivers for Final Race

(Macon, IL) Over $15,000 in additional bonus money is on the line this coming Saturday, September 23 at Macon Speedway’s BRANDT Season Championship featuring the 5th Annual Diane Bennett Memorial with the Tom Bennett Giveback. Over $11,000 of the money will go to drivers in each of the seven divisions, while the rest will go to lucky fans/sponsors who donated for lap sponsorships. The event will be presented by the night’s sponsor, Decatur Building Trades.

The on-track action will honor the late Diane Bennett, a longtime scorer at the speedway as well as Tom Bennett, longtime race supporter, driver, car owner, and racing promoter.

For those who love to race as well as those who love to watch it, Saturday night will be a great night to come out to the track. Seven divisions are on the ticket, racing in honor of Diane Bennett, a scoring official at the track for over 30 years.

The couple’s daughter, Kellie, has put together an amazing list of donors/sponsors that have stepped forward to sponsor feature positions, creating impressive payouts for the night.

The Decatur Building Trades Big Ten Pro Late Model 40-lap feature will pay at least $1195 to win, not counting the $50 per lap led money which totals $2,000. In addition, there are $200 fast time, $100 hard charger, $100 last running car, and $100 tuff luck bonuses. The Red’s Place Modified feature will pay at least $1,650 to win plus lap leader $50 bonuses ($1,500 possible), a $100 fast time award, and a $200 bonus to the last running Modified.

Additional bonus money for the other divisions adds up to the following: DIRTcar Pro Mods ($1,050), DIRTcar Street Stocks ($815), Hornets ($745), Winged Micros by Bailey Chassis ($470) and Weddle Performance Engines Sportsman ($700). In addition to money added to the payouts, there are several special bonuses such as fast qualifier, hard charger, etc.

Point leaders coming into the event are Braden Johnson of Taylorville, IL (Decatur Building Trades Pro Late Models), Tim Luttrell of Riverton, IL (Red’s Place Modifieds), Dalton Ewing of Decatur, IL (DIRTcar Pro Mods), Bobby Beiler from Blue Mound, IL (DIRTcar Street Stocks), Wes O’Dell of Springfield, IL (Weddle Performance Engines Sportsman) and Tristin Quinlan of Decatur, IL (Hornets).
