PERRIS, Calif. — Rain shortened the PASSCAR extreme- late-model event on Saturday at Perris Auto Speedway, but one guy who didn’t seem to mind was Jeff Dunham. Dunham claimed the win, his first of the year, thanks to the timely weather call.
His win, however, was not all due to weather as he started on the front row and inherited the lead after early leader Mike Kirby slowed on lap nine.
Dunham managed to hang onto the position despite heated, repeated contact from the charging Zack Forster. The field was temporarily slowed for a wreck, and once underway many spots within the top 10 were shaken up, but Dunham pulled away in time for another caution to fall over the event. Under yellow, the rain came, cutting the event short with only 22 laps in the books.

Both Phelps and Eckert took home a $2,000 pay check. Eckert also won a heat event earlier in the day.
