PERRIS, Calif. — Danny “Showtime” Sheridan scored the most impressive victory of his USAC-CRA Sprint Car Series career Saturday at Perris Auto Speedway after he drove the Kittle Plumbing No. 18 Stinger to victory from the 13th starting position. 
“These last two weeks have been unbelievable for the Kittle Motorsports Team. I had one of the best 360 (c.i.) wins of my career last weekend at Santa Maria Speedway and to come back here tonight and win after starting 13th, especially after we struggled in qualifying and in our heat race, is unbelievable,” Sheridan said. “I have to give all the credit to Randy Shiosaki who set this car up perfectly. It was the best race car that I’ve driven in my life. It honestly felt like I had a 410 (motor) and everyone else had a 360.”
It was Sheridan’s fifth-career USAC-CRA triumph.
After Alex Schutte led the first seven tours of the half-mile dirt track, Garrett Hansen moved to the point on lap eight.
Hansen set the pace, while Sheridan steadily worked his way forward. Sheridan moved around Hansen on lap 27 and went on to victory, with David Cardey grabbing second from Hansen.
“I knew I had to get back on them when I saw lapped traffic coming up,” Sheridan recalled. “They were both sliding up the race track a little in turn three and I got a really good run around the top and followed David’s rear bumper along the front straight before going for the big slider to get both of them. I saw the door open and this is racing…sometimes you don’t get a second chance.”  
Hansen, Tony Jones and Seth Wilson rounded out the top five.
