For Immediate Release

HOLIDAY SEASON BEGINS ON OVAL NATIONALS EVE!

(OCTOBER 27, 2010, PERRIS, CA) The holiday season will kick off one week from tonight, November 3rd, with the traditional “Oval Nationals Eve” practice session at Perris Auto Speedway. On that night, race fans will gather in a festive holiday mood full of anticipation at the annual Oval Nationals practice session. The following night will see the opening salvo fired in the 15th Annual Budweiser Oval Nationals.

The practice, which will be free for the fans in the grandstands, will begin at 6:00 PM. Spectator gates will open at 5:00. Concessions will be open with pizza and beverages.

“The practice has turned into a tradition,” Perris Auto Speedway promoter Don Kazarian said on Tuesday. “This special practice is for cars entered into the Oval Nationals (pre entered cars or those who enter when they get to the track on Wednesday). A majority of the cars practicing are the teams from out of town who will be getting used to the track and experimenting with their setups.”

When the gates open at 4:00 PM on Thursday, the wrapping will start to come off the racing holiday gift for night number one of the Oval Nationals. More than 50 of the nations top cars and open wheel stars will stage a full program including qualifying, five 10-lap heat races, C, B and A main events. The same program will take place on Friday with the addition of the California Lightning Sprint cars who will stage their heat races.

Saturday will be like the fine holiday dinner to wrap things up with the C main, the new final transferring B Heats and the 40 lap $12,500.00 to win A main event. The California Lightning Sprint Cars will have their main event as well.
