For Immediate Release 

CALIFORNIA LIGHTNING SPRINTS AT PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY SALUTE TO INDY! 

(Torrance, CA, May 25, 2016) The California Lightning Sprint Car Series will return to its former home track, Perris Auto Speedway, this Saturday night, May 28th for the “Salute to Indy.”  Joining the CLS will be the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series and The PAS Young Gun & Senior Sprints.  Spectator gates will open at 5:00 PM and the first race will see the green flag at 7:00. 

The biggest track the CLS competes on, Saturday’s race will be one of only two for it at the longtime Riverside County clay oval during the 2016 season.  Over the past three years the series has contested 20 races at The PAS.  Three-time series champion Bobby Michnowicz of Lomita has won nine of the 20.  Placentia’s Dan Hillberg and Michnowicz’ son Kevin have three wins in the same amount of time.  The only other driver with more than one win since 2013 is Spring Valley’s Jarrett Kramer and he has two.  Jeff Dyer of Victorville, Doug Nunes of Kingsburg and Cori Andrews of Murrieta each have one win at The PAS going back to 2013. 

Heading into Saturday’s show, Darren Hillberg is the new CLS point leader having taken the top spot from three-time 2016 winner Alex Grigoreas of Upland.  Chino’s Pat Kelley, who won his first ever CLS main event at the Ventura Raceway two weeks ago, is third in points.  James Heling of San Bernardino and Victorville’s Jeff Dyer are fourth and fifth. 

In addition to Grigoreas and Kelly, Bobby Michnowicz and Charlie Cariccilo of Madera have CLS wins in 2016. 

After Saturday’s “Salute to Indy” the CLS takes one week off before heading to the Bakersfield Speedway for the third of four races on the Kern County oval in 2016.  It will return to Perris Auto Speedway for the final time this year on July 2nd
