            The all-time lead in terms of USAC feature victories in the state of Arizona continues to be tossed back and forth like a football and this Saturday night’s race at Arizona Speedway in Queen Creek could see another “handoff” of sorts.

            Series point leader R.J. Johnson has 15 career Arizona wins, while series runner-up Charles Davis Jr. has 14. They have accounted for six of the last eight Southwest Sprint wins, each grabbing three. They also have split the two races so far at Queen Creek!

            Only Shon Deskins and Josh Pelkey have interrupted their victory streak lately. Pelkey stands third and Deskins fourth in the most recent point tally.

2014 USAC Southwest Sprint Car Standings: 1-R.J. Johnson-607, 2-Charles Davis Jr.-586, 3-Josh Pelkey-569, 4-Shon Deskins-513, 5-Mike Martin-476, 6-Matt Rossi-454, 7-Tye Mihocko-430, 8-Mike Colegrove-421, 9-Andrew Reinbold-378, 10-Nick Aiuto-348.
