Chargin’
Charles Kicks Off ASCS Canyon Title Defense Saturday at
USA!
Darland
Set to Take on Canyon Region Contenders
Lonnie
Wheatley, TULSA, Okla. (March 8, 2010) – Buckeye, Arizona’s Charles Davis, Jr.,
delivered car owner Jim Massey his first series championship by capturing the
2009 Discount Tire Co. ASCS Canyon Region title.
Davis
begins the defense of that title this Saturday night when the ASCS Canyon Region
launches the 2010 season atop USA Raceway’s 3/8-mile clay oval in Tucson,
AZ.
A
stout field of contenders will be even tougher on opening night, as wingless
open wheel ace Dave Darland will make a rare Arizona appearance in an effort to
take the money and run back to Indiana.
A
triple crown champion with titles in the Sprint Car, Midget and Silver Crown
ranks, Darland rallied from the tail of a “B” Main after heat race issues to
finish fifth in last November’s wingless portion of the Western World
Championships at USA Raceway.
Darland
will pilot the BRAT Racing/Parker Stores No. 8 entry this Saturday
night.
Meanwhile,
Davis will try to add a 15th career ASCS Canyon Region score aboard
the Massey No. 50 machine on Saturday night after reeling off three wins en
route to the 2009 crown that he claimed by a 55-point margin over Phoenix shoe
R.J. Johnson.
Saturday's
Discount Tire Co. ASCS Canyon Region action at USA Raceway is slated to go green
at 6:45 p.m.
The
3/8-mile USA Raceway clay oval is located east of Tucson off I-10 Exit 268, then
1.6 mile south on Craycroft Road, which turns into Los Reales.For more information, contact the track at

The
Discount Tire Co. ASCS Canyon Region is currently slated for 15 overall nights

July weekend in New Mexico.
