PERRIS, California -- Perris Auto Speedway will begin its Annual Kid’s month this Saturday night, June 2nd. All kids 12 and under will be admitted free when they are accompanied by an adult the next five weeks. Supplying the action for the younger set this Saturday will be the popular Art’s Concrete Pumping Extreme Late Models, PASSCAR Modfieds, Street Stocks and the California Lightning Sprint Cars. Spectator gates will open at 5:00 PM with racing at 6:30.

June has been deemed “Kid’s Month” at The PAS since 2001. “We started Kid’s Month as a reward to our fans,” stated promoter Don Kazarian. “It saves them some money and it is a way of saying thanks to them for supporting our shows. It also exposes younger fans to our sport.”

As has been the case in the past, this year’s “Kid’s Month” is not just a family thing. “As long as the kids are accompanied by an adult, they all get in free. Fans can load up the car, van or rent a bus and bring the entire neighborhood and they will get in free,” Kazarian said. “The kids love the shows and we enjoy hosting the kids. The more the merrier.”

In addition to this Saturday, the other four Kid’s Month races will be:

June 9th – Lucas Oil USAC/CRA Sprint Cars presented by Temecula Valley Pipe & Supply

June 16th – Art’s Concrete Pumping Extreme Late Models, PASSCAR Modifieds, Street Stocks and Pick-A-Part Cruisers

June 23 - Lucas Oil USAC/CRA Sprint Cars presented by Temecula Valley Pipe & Supply

June 30th – MC Builders Super Stocks, Street Stocks, PASSCAR Modifieds and California Lightning Sprint Cars

This Saturday, Torrance, California 41 year-old driver Mike Kirby will be out to extend his winning streak to six straight races at The PAS including the last three in the Late Models. In only his third outing in his new Late Model last Saturday night, Kirby made the A main event in the tough Western All Star Series at Bakersfield.

Corona, California’s Johnny Lathrop, whose racing resume includes championships at the long defunct Corona Raceway, will be looking for his second straight win the PASSCAR Modified class. Lathrop actually crossed the line second in the main event two weeks ago, but was awarded the win when another driver in the field protested the winning car, which was found to be illegal.

The California Lightning Sprint Cars, headed by point leader David Bezio will return for their third 2007 appearance on Saturday and the popular Street Stocks, the track’s biggest class, will close out Saturday’s program.
