|
Lonnie Wheatley, TULSA, Okla. (July 21, 2008) – Riding a recent wave of momentum, Jeremy Sherman tries to come one step closer to a second consecutive Discount Tire Co. American Sprint Car Series Canyon Region championship when the series takes to Manzanita Speedway's 1/3-mile clay oval this Saturday night. After posting just three wins in the opening eleven feature events of the season, Sherman is about ready to deliver the knockout punch in the title race after racking up four wins in a row to run his season total to seven triumphs. While Sherman tries to put the championship away in the dog days of an Arizona summer, the likes of Charles Davis, Jr., and others will keep things dicey in efforts to reach victory lane. Davis enters Saturday's card 84 points in arrears to Sherman, with Mike Martin 76 markers behind Davis in third. R.J. Johnson enters Saturday's card ranked fourth, just four points ahead of Nathan High. The balance of the current top ten includes Josh Pelkey, Andrew Reinbold, Mike Leslie, Justin Fisher and Thomas Ogle. Certificates will be awarded to each of the heat race winners, with Racing Optics sponsoring heat race one, MPD Race Products sponsoring heat race two, Winters Performance sponsoring heat race three and Sunoco sponsoring heat race four. Arizona Race Mart sponsors the Trophy Dash, while Sunoco will also award a certificate to each "B" Main winner in ASCS Canyon Region action this year. Parker Store sponsors the Roll for Inversion.
