TULSA,
Okla. (April 9, 2007) – Defending Arizona state champion Jeremy Sherman
will try to make it three American Sprint Car Series Canyon Region feature wins
in a row when the series takes to Manzanita Speedway's ½-mile clay oval this
Saturday night. Sherman
has topped the series opening pair of events, but each win came in entirely
different manner.
Sherman wired the field in the March 10 opener on the 1/3-mile, then
battled forward from the twelfth position to overtake Mike Leslie for the win on
the ½-mile on March 31. With
the victories in the opening pair of events, Sherman has opened up a 20-point
lead over Leslie in the series championship points chase.
Sixteen-year-old Michael Colegrove is just points behind Leslie in third,
with Josh Pelkey, Shon Deskins and 18-year-old Rookie of the Year contender
Jeremy Reagles tied for fourth. R.J.
Johnson is currently seventh in points, with the balance of the current top ten
including Mike Martin, Bob Ream, Jr., and Seainn Hendricsen. Once
again, $50 certificates will be awarded to each of the heat race winners, with
Racing Optics sponsoring heat race one, Parker Store sponsoring heat race two,
Kenz & Leslie/BG Chemicals sponsoring heat race three and Sunoco sponsoring
heat race four.
Arizona Race Mart sponsors the Pole Dash, while Sunoco will also award a
$50 certificate to each "B" Main winner in ASCS Canyon Region action
this year. Saturday's
racing action goes green at 7:30 p.m. The
ASCS Canyon Region brings the best in wingless Sprint Car racing to Arizona in
2007 with a slate of 24 events.
In addition to Manzanita Speedway, the series will also be in action at
Tucson's USA Race Park and Casa Grande's Central Arizona Raceway over the course
of the season. The
2007 season marks the 16th year of sanctioning Sprint Car racing for the
