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

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

Stanbrough
Rebounds for Winter Challenge Round Two Honors!

SDR No. 21x to victory lane in Saturday's Winter
Challenge event at Peoria, Arizona's Canyon Speedway
Park, the second leg of six events over the course of
nine days atop the 3/8-mile clay oval. (Terry Shaw

After
struggling uncharacteristically in Canyon Speedway
Park’s Winter Challenge opener on Friday, Avon,
Indiana’s Jon Stanbrough bounced back in strong fashion
by topping Saturday’s second round of action atop the
3/8-mile clay oval.
While fellow Hoosier State shoe Tracy Hines led most
of the way in the event pitting the ASCS Canyon
Region versus the USAC West Coast Series, Stanbrough
made a late move in Saturday afternoon’s 30-lapper
to take the $2,000 winner’s cut in the Shon Deskins
Racing No. 21x entry.
Stanbrough, who missed the feature cut in the first
of six rounds of Winter Challenge action on Friday,
chased front row outside starter Hines from the
third starting position on Saturday for much of the
way before charging into the lead in the final
handful of laps to snare the win.
Stanbrough and Hines were chased to the stripe by
Bud Kaeding, who claimed a podium finishing position
for the second time in as many Winter Challenge
races. Dave Darland advance from
10th to fourth, with Colby Copeland
rounding out the top five.
Johnny Herrera raced from 18th to sixth,
with Josh Pelkey, Casey Shuman, pole starter R.J.
Johnson and Bruce St. James completing the top ten.
After winning Friday night’s Winter Challenge
opener, Charles Davis, Jr., finished just outside
the top ten on Saturday in eleventh.
Rick
Ziehl, Hines and Davis, Jr., topped Saturday’s heat
race action, with Jeremy Sherman winning the “B”
Main.
Canyon Speedway Park’s Winter Challenge resumes with
Round Three’s green flag flying at 1:00 p.m. on
Sunday, with a $3,000 winner’s share up for grabs.
Action then continues with the final three
rounds on Wednesday at 7:00 p.m., Friday at 7:00
p.m. and then Saturday’s (February 4) $5,000-to-win
finale at 1:00 p.m.

Charles
Davis, Jr., kicked off six a full complement of six
racing events over nine days by winning Friday
night’s 30-lap Winter Challenge opener at Canyon
Speedway Park
A two-time ASCS Canyon Region champion, Davis, Jr.,
of Buckeye, AZ, took the lead away from California
shoe Bud Kaeding in the early going and went on to
claim the $2,000 winner’s share in the event pitting
the ASCS Canyon Regional forces versus the USAC West
Coast Sprint Car Series.
After starting third in the familiar Massey
Motorsports No. 50 entry, Davis took the lead away
from pole starter Kaeding after several laps and
then kept eighth-starter R.J. Johnson at bay much of
the way.
Davis, Jr., took the checkered flag ahead of Kaeding,
who slipped back around Johnson for runner-up honors
in the final laps. Johnson
settled for the show position, with 14th-starter
Jeremy Sherman in fourth and Dave Darland rounding
out the top five in Parker Store-sponsored entry
sporting the throwback Darland number of 36d.
Thomas Ogle was sixth and Casey Shuman climbed a
half-dozen positions to seventh with Shon Deskins,
Mike Martin and Johnny Herrera completing the top
ten.
Davis, Jr., Martin and Johnson topped Friday night’s
heat race action, with Tracy Hines winning the
10-lap “B” Main before finishing one spot outside
the top ten in the main event.

THE HOOSIER TIRE MIDWEST SPRINT CAR
SERIES 2012 SCHEDULE
Haubstadt, IN - January 29, 2012. The 2012 schedule
being released
by the Hoosier Tire Midwest Sprint Car Series will offer
competitors
and fans thirteen diverse events. This will be the twelfth
season
for the series. A wide range of purses will offer top
prizes of
$2,000 (2), $2,500 (2), $3,000 (3), $4,000 (1), $5,000 (3),
and
$10,000 (2).
The season opener will be held at the
Lawrenceburg
Speedway on
Saturday May 5th. This is a must-do event for drivers
posturing to
make a run for the series title. Brady Short is the MSCS
defending
champion. The feature that night will pay $2,000 to win.
The season will continue with a co-sanctioned event for
MSCS and USAC
on May 12th at Tri-State Speedway in Haubstadt, IN. This
will be the
third time in history that the two sanctioning groups have
raced
together on the swift high banked ¼ mile facility.
MSCS will also be visiting several other Indiana
tracks. The series
will make a special weeknight appearance at the half mile
Terre Haute
Action Track. MSCS will share the spotlight on a racing
bill
headlined with a special NASCAR Night promotion. This race
is set
for Tuesday evening June 19th, just two days after the
series makes a
Father’s Day Sunday evening appearance at Tri-State
Speedway. Both
will be great family night opportunities to attend the
races!
The series is set for an encore performance at Lincoln
Park Speedway
in Putnamville after last year’s successful return to the
facility.
The date for the MSCS Return II Putnamville is August 18.
The top
prize is $3,000. The strong contingency of regular sprint
drivers
that frequent the track always present formidable opposition
for the
series.
The Fall Clash at Bloomington Speedway in Bloomington,
IN, on Friday
September 14th will kick off the only weekend this season in
which the
series has back to back races scheduled. The $5,000 to win
that night
and the $10,000 to win the Haubstadt Hustler the next night
will
provide the biggest single MSCS racing weekend of the
season. The
Haubstadt Hustler will be a co-sanctioned MSCS-USAC event
again in
2012.
The MSCS drivers will join the United States Auto Club
drivers again
on Sept. 29th for the City of Lawrenceburg Fall Nationals
and a
chance to win another $10,000 prize.
Holiday weekend events at which MSCS will be racing
include the May
27th and September 2nd dates at Tri-State Speedway. MSCS
will join
and welcome the KISS competitors to Haubstadt on Memorial
Day
Weekend. The Labor Day Weekend Challenge at Haubstadt will
pay
$3,000 to the winner. Both are Sunday night events!
Tri-State
Speedway will also present MSCS racing on Saturday night
June 30th
with the Summer Blast set to take the green prior to the
Fourth of
July midweek holiday.
The Hoosier Sprint Nationals at Haubstadt will be held
on Saturday
night August 4th.
This will be the eighth version and it will pay $5,000 to
win again this
season. The enduring event continues in its role as the
high mark on each
season’s MSCS schedule and is the threshold to the larger
purses for races
that close out the season.
The season will then end on October 6th with the
Harvest Cup at
Tri-State Speedway. This will be the second year for the
event
designed to wrap up the season and provide an opportunity to
present
the MSCS Championship Trophy and Rookie of the Year Award to
the
recipients with fans, race teams, and sponsors present. The
feature
for the season finale pays $4,000 to win.
