If you're the race fans who truly enjoy crashing, bashing and general mayhem that was purposely created, then you're going to love Night Of Destruction at the IEC This Saturday night. This special evening is being presented by the good people from Pick Your Part and Seidner's Collision Centers and features Enduro Car figure 8 racing, Skid Plate racing, and the always fun Trailer racing.
If you're the fans who enjoys regular door to door, bumper to bumper, stock car racing then the IEC also has you covered this Saturday night with a special appearance from their Pick Your Part Late Model division. After spending the winter season winning the Late Model championship at the Havasu 95 Speedway in Arizona, Trevor Hudleston has served notice that he's also chasing after a second title this year at his home track at Irwindale. The Aguora Hills-CA driver goes into Saturday as the division points leader based on two feature wins, that came back to back on the evening of April 16th, along with five top five finishes, However, Huddleston only has a slim eight point advantage over Claremont-CA's Christian McGahee who has a feature win and five top fives. This will be a pair of drivers to keep an eye on when the green flag falls on the division's main event.
