TULSA, Okla. (April 11, 2016) The deserts are heating up as the Carlyle Tools ASCS Southwest Region returns to action for the season’s sixth night of competition coming at the Canyon Speedway Park in Peoria, Ariz. on Saturday, April 16.
The second time in 2016 the Carlyle Tools ASCS Southwest Region is set to take on the one-third mile oval, the season’s first outing at the Canyon Speedway Park on March 12 went to Logan Forler. The Washington native became the 12th different driver in series history to conquer Canyon.
While his season started off a bit rocky, New Mexico’s Rick Ziehl has recovered and now leads the way in the 2016 driver standings with a slim 15 point advantage over Arizona’s Bob Ream, Jr.
Logan Forler, holds third despite running a part-time schedule with Colton Hardy coming up to fourth. Leading the points going into the New Mexico doubleheader two weeks ago at the Southern New Mexico Speedway, mechanical issues has dropped J.T.
