(Perris, CA, May 15, 2014) When the Kazarian family opened Perris Auto Speedway in 1996, they knew the sparkling new racing facility would need a signature sprint car event. They came up with the name “Oval Nationals” and the inaugural event, which was won by National Sprint Car Hall of Famer Jimmy Sills, took place on October 18 and 19th of that year. Little did they or anyone else know that over the years the race would become one of the most prestigious races in the sprint car world. The race will take another giant leap forward when staged this November 6th, 7th and 8th, when for the first time it will be shown on MAVTV as part of the “Dirty 30” series. “We are ecstatic that the Budweiser Oval Nationals Presented by All Coast Construction will be shown to racing fans around the country on MAVTV,” promoter Don Kazarian stated. “The Oval Nationals is a premiere event and this exposure will make it even bigger. It will be a tremendous boost for the drivers, the teams, fans, the track and all of the sponsors who will be exposed to millions of extra racing fans.” Over the years, some of the biggest names in open wheel racing have visited victory circle at the Oval Nationals and it draws together top talent from around the country. In 2007, third generation Campbell, California star Bud Kaeding became the first driver to win the Oval Nationals three times. Last November, Indiana’s Dave Darland became only the second driver to win it three times. The only other multi-time winners in the first 18 runnings of the race have been Californian’s Damon Gardner and Cory Kruseman who each have two wins. Both of Kruseman’s wins came while driving cars owned by NASCAR superstar Tony Stewart. Drivers with single wins in the Oval Nationals are Mike Spencer, Rip Williams, Rodney Argo, Tony Jones, Rickie Gaunt & Sills of California, Illinois racer Chris Windom and the late Jesse Hockett of Missouri. “When all is said and done, nearly every driver who has won the Oval Nationals will be inducted into the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame,” Kazarian said. “Two of them, Sills and Williams, are already in there. As impressive as the list of drivers who have already won the Oval Nationals is, the list of drivers who have thus far tried and failed to win it is just as impressive. It is one of the toughest races in the world to win.” The main man behind the scenes in getting the Oval Nationals onto MAVTV is Jackslash Media president Sean Buckley. A native of Ojai, California, Buckley pulled up stakes and moved to Indiana over a decade ago to follow his dream of producing videos and TV shows on sprint car racing. 2013 became Buckley’s breakthrough year when MAVTV, which is based in Corona, California, decided to air his “Flip the Switch” show which featured sprint car racing in Indiana. The network, which was founded in 2004, picked the show up for 30 episodes in 2014 and changed the name of the show to “Dirty 30.” In 2013 the show featured only non wing racing in Indiana. For 2014, it will feature non wing and winged racing from across the nation. In addition, it was recently announced that USAC, generally considered to be the top non wing sanctioning body in the nation, has signed on and will be featured as part of the exciting TV series. “We ate really grateful for the MAVTV deal,” Buckley said. “They have let us spread our wings a little bit. We have worked on the USAC deal for a while and were able to nail that down. The Oval Nationals is one of the crown jewels of traditional sprint car racing. It is one of if not the biggest traditional sprint car races of the year. It is in our home area where we are from and to be able to put it on TV and showcase it like this is a big deal for us and a big deal for a lot of people. It is something that everybody can benefit from.” For more information on MAVTV, please visit their website at: mavtv/ and for more information on Jackslash Media go to: jackslash/ Budweiser Oval Nationals Winners 1996 Jimmy Sills 1997 Rip Williams 1998 Rodney Argo 1999 Rickie Gaunt 2000 Tony Jones 2001 Bud Kaeding 2002 Bud Kaeding 2003 Cory Kruseman 2004 Cory Kruseman 2005 Dave Darland 2006 Dave Darland 2007 Bud Kaeding 2008 Jesse Hockett 2009 Damion Gardner 2010 Chris Windom 2011 Damion Gardner 2012 Mike Spencer 2013 Dave Darland For more information on The PAS call: (951) 940-0134.
