Perris Auto Speedway, also known as the PAS, is a 1/2 mile clay oval track located at 18700 Lake Perris Drive on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds in Perris, California. The track features a raised backstretch offering fans a better view over the infield of the oval. The track hosts USAC/CRA sprint cars, street stocks, dirt modifieds, and many others. It hosted the Turkey Night Grand Prix midget car race in 1996, 2012 and 2013.[1] The track has also hosted the World of Outlaws and the Traxxas TORC Series.[2]

The track opened on March 30, 1996. Prior to that, the site of the track was home to Lake Perris speedway, a 1/8-mile dirt oval constructed in 1987 and hosted motorcycle racing then later car racing until 1993. A 1/3-mile dirt oval operated until the end of 1995.[3]
