USAC Southwest Sprint Car Series

Arizona Speedway is the next target for USAC’s Southwest Sprint Cars as drivers R.J. Johnson, Josh Pelkey and Charles Davis Jr. continue their battle for supremacy in one of America’s most hotly-contested motorsports series.

R.J. Johnson’s pursuit of the 2014 USAC Southwest Sprint Car championship will resume November 1 with an appearance at Arizona Speedway in Queen Creek, Ariz. He emerged from last Saturday night’s race at Peoria, Ariz. with a 116-point margin over Josh Pelkey in the new standings.

USAC Southwest Sprint Car series runner-up Josh Pelkey of Peoria, Ariz. stormed to victory in Saturday night’s 40-lap “Rick Stewart Memorial” at Prescott Valley (Ariz.) Raceway. This coming Saturday he and the Southwest series regulars will tackle Canyon Speedway Park in Peoria, Ariz. in the “Hank Arnold Memorial.”

USAC’s Southwest and West Coast Sprint car series take a hiatus this week after rains forced cancellation of last Saturday night’s “Brawl for it All” event at Canyon Speedway Park in Peoria, Ariz.

Arizona Speedway hosts the USAC Southwest Sprint Cars this Saturday night in Queen Creek. If past performances are any indication it could be another great night for series point leader R.J. Johnson of Phoenix.
