Peoria, AZ — (December 12th, 2013) — With the 2014 racing season just around the corner and Canyon Speedway quickly becoming one of the nations premier short tracks, an exciting 2014 race schedule has been released.
While more than 30 events grace the 2014 schedule one would think it may be hard to top the 2013 season! With great optimism CSP has created a 2014 schedule that may do just that! With the cooperation of neighboring tracks, the level of competition will be at an all time high making for extreme excitement race fans will not want to miss.
The 2014 Winter Challenge will kick off the year featuring top traditional Sprint Car drivers from around the country as the USAC Southwest Sprint Car Series faces off with the USAC West Coast Sprint Car Series while IMCA Modified aces converge in the valley of the sun for what is anticipated to be one of the largest racing events of 2014. Race fans can mark their calendar for one of the hottest events of the year as the best of the best in Wingless Sprint Cars and IMCA Modifieds tackle Canyon Speedway’s 1/3-mile clay oval for six races over the course of nine days on January 24th, 25th, 26th, 30th, 31st and February 1st. The ever popular Pure Stocks and Mini Sprints will join the field for five of the six winter events while the Modlites and Renegades will split weekends making the Winter Challenge a must see for 2014.
The return of the USAC Copper on Dirt is next on the agenda and will ignite the 2014 Championship Season for the USAC-CRA Sprint Car Series, USAC Western States Midgets, West Coast Late Models and IMCA Modifieds. The March two day event will feature top Sprint Car and Midget drivers from across the country joining the stars of the Super Late Model and Modified ranks as all four premier divisions will take center stage in one spectacular event.
March 22nd will feature one of two events for the Arizona Figure 8 Championships featuring the modern daredevils as they take center stage for the exciting Figure 8 spectacular along with the popular Autocross while fans will also have an opportunity to face off in the Spectator races. The Figure 8 Championships will return later in the year for round two on October 4th.
Just on the heels of the Figure 8’s, the traditional Sprint Cars of the USAC Southwest Sprint Car Series will put the thrilling championship season into full swing on March 29th as RJ Johnson sets out to defend his inaugural USAC Sprint Car title. The “CSP Season Opener” will also kick off the point chase for Canyon Speedway’s Pure Stocks, Mini Sprints and AMA Modlites.
While Arizona State IMCA Modified Champion hopefuls will have the opportunity to kick off the points season during the Winter Challenge, it will be “Racin” Jason Noll set to defend the CSP Crown at the Copper on Dirt in March.
The 2014 season will wind down with several events on tap starting in September with the 26th Annual IMCA Desert Classic followed by The USAC Grudge Series’ “Brawl For It All” on September 27th, just a week later.
November will feature a spectacular month of racing when the West Coast Late Models return to take on the CDM Late Models in the “Mr. Excitement 40”, A Tribute to Terry Belcher, a spectacular two day event in conjunction with NASCAR weekend
The USAC National Sprint Car Stars will be on deck for the 14th Annual USAC Hose Advantage Store Hall of Fame Classic a week prior to the grand finale of a spectacular season capped off by the three day 47th Annual USAC Sands Chevrolet Western World Championships featuring top traditional sprint car stars going for $7,500 to Win and USAC National Midget stars also hoping to grab hold of $7,500 with a $5,000 bonus for any driver able to top the podium in both divisions.
