Turkey Night at Perris Auto Speedway this Thursday!

Turkey Night Grand Prix 2014


We have last year’s ‘TNGP Winner’ Dave Darland and last year’s ‘Rookie of the Year’ Trey Marcham!

Thursday, November 27, 2014
74th Annual Turkey Night Grand Prix
USAC Western Midgets and National Midgets
Perris Auto Speedway - Perris, CA

In 2013, ‘The People’s Champ Dave Darland wheeled the King Racing Products / Berry Pack JFM #73 to the Winner’s Circle right here at Perris Auto Speedway!



In 2014, Dave will once again saddle into the #73 car to go for a repeat. Darland is one of only three drivers to ever win this famed event on both pavement and dirt and could be the only driver to win this three times with a win Thursday night. He won here last year on dirt and in 2007 took the win in Irwindale.

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma’s Trey Marcham brought his Rookie of the Year status to JFM and has run with us all of 2014. Trey did not disappoint, taking 3 wins and 9 top ten finishes. Marcham is currently 2nd in the Western Midget Dirt and overall Western Midget in the chase for the championship. Last Friday stymied his outlook on winning it all this year, though his talents behind the wheel are without question.



Trey will pilot the Berry Pack / King Racing Products / A&A Precision CNC #73x.

A 98 lap feature race at The PAS will conclude both the National and Western States midget seasons. At post time, Kyle Larson, Bryan Clauson, Christopher Bell, Tracy Hines, Damion Gardner, Mike Spencer, Kevin Thomas Jr and Michael Pickens to name a few of the drivers that will be competing in this celebrated race.

Come to the track down in sunny SoCal and follow the race as it happens right here.
