by Lonnie Wheatley |

TULSA,
Okla. (July 30, 2007) – After a month off for teams to regroup, the
wingless troops of the American Sprint Car Series Canyon Region return to action
atop Manzanita Speedway's ½-mile clay oval this Saturday night in Phoenix, AZ. As
the series returns to action, Jeremy Sherman of Surprise, AZ, will try to
continue the form that he has carried through the opening eleven events of the
season to amass 135 point lead in the championship points chase. Sherman
has racked up nine wins in eleven events, including seven triumphs in as many
events at Manzanita Speedway. Three
of those victories have come atop the ½-mile oval, with the other four on the
1/3-mile. While
Sherman holds a commanding lead, the battle for position behind him is an
intense one with Bob Ream, Jr., just one point ahead of Mike Leslie in the
battle for second. Also in the
tightly-packed points race are Josh Pelkey, Bernie Smith, Charles Davis, Jr.,
Seainn Hendricsen and Andrew Reinbold, with only 36 markers separating second
from eighth. Mike
Martin enters Saturday's event ninth in points, just another 21 points back,
with Shon Deskins rounding out the current top ten. Just
outside the top ten are Michael Colegrove, Jeremy Reagles, Chris Bonneau, Bobby
Taylor, Nick Aiuto, Justin Fisher and Bruce St. James. 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 8:00 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
American Sprint Car Series, with the series set to sanction approximately 240
nights of racing at more than 100 different race tracks throughout at least 30
different states and Canada. Additional
