Davis Back in Winter Challenge Victory Lane at CSP!
Lonnie Wheatley, PEORIA, Ariz.
(February 1, 2012) – Charles
Davis, Jr., evened the score in
the win column for the ASCS
Canyon Region forces versus
their foes from the USAC West
Coast Series as the Winter
Challenge resumed with round
four of six at Canyon Speedway
Park on Wednesday night.
The two-time ASCS Canyon Region
champion picked off his second
win in four nights of Winter
Challenge competition aboard the
Massey Motorsports No. 50 entry
after USAC shoes Jon Stanbrough
and Tracy Hines topped rounds
three and four, respectively.
Davis, Jr., led from his pole
position throughout in the
$2,000-to-win affair before
surviving a last-lap caution
that set up a
green-white-checkered dash to
the stripe, fending off Hines to
secure the win.
R.J. Johnson claimed the
final step on the podium in the
show position after starting
eighth.
Bob Ream, Jr., was fourth, with
Stevie Sussex rounding out the
top five.
Jon Stanbrough was sixth, with
Shane Cottle, Casey Shuman, Mike
Martin and Shon Deskins
completing the top ten.
Stanbrough, Johnson and Davis,
Jr., won Wednesday night’s heat
races, with Rick Ziehl
victorious in the “B” Main.
With Hines just four points
ahead of Davis, Jr., in Winter
Challenge points, action resumes
with Round Five on Friday at
7:00 p.m. and then the
$5,000-to-win Sixth and Final
Round on Saturday at 1:00 p.m.

Hines Takes Winter Challenge Round Three at CSP!
Lonnie Wheatley, PEORIA, Ariz. (January 29,
2012) – Tracy Hines became the third
different winner in as many rounds of Winter
Challenge action at Canyon Speedway Park by
taking the $3,000 triumph in Sunday
afternoon’s 30-lap feature event pitting the
ASCS Canyon Region versus the USAC West
Coast Series.
After leading much of the way in Saturday’s
feature only to surrender the point in the
closing circuits, there was no stopping the
reigning Western World champion in Sunday’s
main event after he took the lead away from
Rick Ziehl on the 18th circuit.
While Hines started from the pole position,
it was outside front row starter and Friday
night winner Charles Davis, Jr., pacing the
early circuits in front of fourth-starter
Ziehl and Hines.
As traffic came into play on the 3/8-mile
clay oval, Ziehl slid past Davis, Jr., for
the lead on the 11th round with
Hines following suit soon after.
Hines worked traffic precisely over
the next several rounds and took the lead
from Ziehl with 13 circuits remaining.
With clear track in front of him after a
caution with just six laps to go, the New
Castle, IN, native raced on to the checkered
flag in front of Ziehl, with R.J. Johnson,
Davis, Jr., and Jeremy Sherman rounding out
the top five.
Andrew Reinbold advanced ten positions by
racing from 16th to sixth, while
Bud Kaeding charged from 19th to
seventh. Bruce St. James
was eighth, with Mike Martin and Jon
Stanbrough completing the top ten.
Hines, Johnson and Davis, Jr., won Sunday’s
heat races.
Canyon Speedway Park’s Winter Challenge
resumes with Round Four on Wednesday at 7:00
p.m., followed by Round Five on Friday at
7:00 p.m. and then the $5,000-to-win Sixth
and Final Round on Saturday at 1:00 p.m.
