Davis Captures Third Canyon Victory
ASCS Canyon Region
CASA GRANDE, Ariz. — Charles Davis, Jr. took advantage of Jeremy Sherman’s ill fortune to capture his third Discount Tire Co. American Sprint Car Series Canyon Region triumph of the year as the series made its first stop of the season at Central Arizona Raceway Saturday night.
Davis assumed the point with just a handful of laps remaining before reaching the checkered flag aboard the Don Ott-powered Massey Motorsports/Rod End Supply No. 50 DRC chassis.
Davis spent the bulk of the feature event chasing defending series champion Sherman, who took command early after starting third. However, Sherman was forced to the work area with a flat left-rear tire.
Davis took the checkered flag in front of Josh Pelkey, with Mike Martin racing into third after starting tenth. Justin Fisher and R.J. Johnson rounded out the top five.
The finish:
Charles Davis, Jr., Josh Pelkey, Mike Martin, Justin Fisher, R.J. Johnson, Thomas Ogle, Andrew Reinbold, Jeremy Sherman, Jeff Slinkard, Bobby Taylor, Stevie Sussex, Derek Sell, Jody Wirth, Adam Wirth, Mike Leslie, Nathan High, Derek Williams, Steve Tellas, Bernie Smith, Jeremy Reagles.
