Canyon Speedway Park
IT WILL ALL
UNFOLD & BE TOLD ON SATURDAY OCTOBER 3rd, 2009 AT CSP
There is an open
practice scheduled for Wednesday 9-30-09 at Canyon Speedway Park. The pit gate
be will open at noon and the practice will run from 7pm to 9pm. FREE front
grandstand entry but it cost $10 for a pit pass.
Saturday October 3rd,
2009 the CSP staff will manage a double-headlined event featuring ASCA SPRINT
CARS and AMRA MIDGETS along with a PURE STOCK showdown and the forever popular
BOMBER MANIA division. The show is expected to start promptly at 7:30pm.
The AMRA Midgets are
trying to regain momentum after a change in their leadership within the club.
Rick Shuman now holds the reigns of the club but its Phoenix native RJ-Johnson
who is looking to put his number 51 Ellis built chassis, Fantana powered midget
back in victory lane. RJ won the last AMRA outing at Canyon, currently leads the
AMRA 2009 series points run and is looking for his third Midget points
championship. At twenty two years old, RJ is a second generation torch holder
after his father Ricky Johnson won eight Arizona point championships. RJ-Johnson
will be running double-duty as he wheels his #77 Buckley built Ford powered ASCA
Sprint car around the Canyon clay. RJ is chasing third win in a row and better
known as a "Hat-Trick" at Canyon in his sprint car as he will flex his muscle to
get up front again.
The ABC Motorsports team
and driver 12-Nathan High won the last ASCA sprint car show two weeks ago. High
made the run look easy leading all 25 laps, but a five car feast was going on
behind the ABC ride between T. Ogle, S. Sussex, B. St. James, J. Sherman & B.
Ream who came from the back. Chalk up the race as one of the best sprint car
battles Canyon has seen.
The ASCA has a new purse
stucture for the remainder of 2009 as outlined below:
17 to 20 cars will pay
$1000.00 to WIN & $150.00 to START the "A" Main

who cannot make the Main Event.
The Pure stocks have a
points shootout at the Canyon corral lined up this Saturday. Chris McCurdy won't
go away in his orange 23 and looks to outrun the "The Wild Child" 25-Steve
Bitting. These young guns are tied at 733 points and boast a 100 point lead over
third place points runner 49-Brandon Parker. The top three BOMBER "MANIACS" are
