TULSA, Okla. (May 21, 2013) Resurrected so to say, the Thunder Raceway in Show Low, Ariz. has come back from the brink of closing its doors and will host the Hose Advantage Store Southwest Region of the ASCS Nation on Saturday, May 25.
This Saturday’s visit to the tight quarter-mile situated among the wooded northeastern corner of Arizona will be the only appearance of the Southwest Region in 2013.
Rick Ziehl continues to dominate the point standings but unlike years past, has yet to conjure up a win in regional competition as fellow New Mexico show Lorne Wofford has taken the last three winning checks in the MTS No. 18.
With the season beginning with the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by MAVTV American Real, Wofford stands as the only driver in the top ten points with victories in regular competition.
Billy Chester, Joshua Williams, and Kaylene Verville with Lance Norick slipping to complete the top five after engine woes the past two outings.
The Thunder Raceway in Show Low, Ariz. will feature Vintage Sprints and Vintage Midgets in addition to the Hose Advantage Store Southwest Region with races beginning at 6:30 P.M. (MST). Additional information regarding the Thunder Raceway can be found at http://www.thunderracewayaz.
