Perris Auto Speedway
OK, big improvement with no dust and some great raicng this week. The track was great and Danny Sheridan's run from 13th to win was pretty awesome. He made the winning move by passing David Cardey and the leader Garrett Hanson on the same slide job late in the race for his 2nd win of the year. It was a master pass, the best of the night. Dqanny appeared to be the fastest car out there as he stormed to the front. Until then Garrett looked like a winner and Cardey was bouncing his car around turns one and two trying to make his own pass for the win. Cody Williams pass in his heat to get the last transfer spot was also one of beauty as he continues to impress. There were 29 cars, but one dropped out before racing started. A cool but nice night and it made us forget about dust bowls.
