Cody Morris, Apache Junction, Arizona (5-12-2012) - Regional race fans were in for a sensational night of non winged sprint car racing as the ASCS Canyon Region ventured in for the second Canyon stop at Apache Junction’s Arizona Speedway.

Following the most recent stop in Yuma, Arizona, the Canyon competitors arrived at Arizona Speedway prepared for their third contest in as many weeks. Saturday night’s Arizona Speedway event also marked the second of six scheduled visits at Arizona Speedway in the 2012 ASCS Canyon campaign.

A Peoria, Arizona native, former Arizona state Sprint Car titlist, and two-time Canyon winner in 2011; Josh Pelkey stormed forward on the high side from his 16th place starting spot, passing ASCS Southwest king Rick Ziehl late in the 25 lap main event to snare his first Canyon score of the 2012 campaign aboard Robbie Allen’s Advanced Engine powered ABC Body Shop no. 12.

Glendale, Arizona’s Bob Ream Jr. battled up five spots to take runner up honors with Tempe’s Andy Reinbold moving up a couple of spots to accept show position honors.

The 2012 ASCS Canyon Region campaign will take a week off before blasting back to action with a pair of Memorial Day Weekend events at the Canyon Speedway Park “Salute to Indy” in Peoria, Arizona

Cody Morris, Apache Junction, Arizona (4-14-2012) - The inaugural ASCS Canyon Region visit to Et-Motopark's Arizona Speedway had a packed house on their feet for a thrilling finish.

Front row starter Bob Ream Jr. jumped to an early lead in the 30 lap ASCS Canyon main event. A lap two incident involving Mike Bonneau and Tommy Lee forced both to an early exit, with a lap 4 caution for an 8 car pileup proving to be the final stoppage of the event.

Ream led out of the restarts with Phoenix native RJ Johnson in pursuit. Johnson battled by on the 12th circuit, but two time ASCS Canyon champ Charles Davis Jr. was on the move from his 4th row starting spot.

Johnson settled for his 2nd runner up finish in as many Canyon outings, with fellow Phoenix native Bruce St. James claiming show position honors. Glendale, Arizona's Bob Ream Jr. crossed the finish line 4th, with Peoria's Josh Pelkey completing the top five finishing order.

Kevin Montgomery Peoria, ARIZ (April 7, 2012) – Four time and defending ASCS Southwest region champion Rick Ziehl entered Saturday’s 2nd Annual Eggstravaganza at Canyon Speedway Park trailing in the 2012 Southwest points chase. Drawing the pole position for the 25 lap ASCS Southwest main event, Ziehl immediately checked out aboard the Bay Hayes Motorsports and Ei22 sponsored no. 20z.

A pair of late race stoppages grew the possibility of a challenge, but Ziehl sped both away, cruising to his 1st ASCS Southwest victory of the 2012 campaign and keeping Southwest loot out of the Grand Canyon State for the fifth time in 5 events thus far in the campaign.

Bob Ream Jr. crossed the finish line with runner up honors, with Mike Martin taking the show position with J.T. Imperial and Josh Pelkey rounding out the top five.
