ARIZONA SPEEDWAY HOSTS SOUTHWEST SPRINTS SATURDAY

Six of the “top-10” in the USAC Southwest Sprint Car standings have a trio of “top-10” finishes in the three races held so far this year at Arizona Speedway. The series returns to the one-third mile dirt oval at E.T. Motorpark in Queen Creek this Saturday.

Point leader R.J. Johnson has a win, a third and a sixth and holds a 74-point edge in the points over runner-up Charles Davis Jr. Davis has a win and a third but also an 11th.

Others with nothing but “top-10s” include third-ranking Mike Martin (1-4-6), fourth-ranking Shon Deskins (2-5-5), sixth-ranking Ronnie Clark (4-7-8), seventh-ranking Chris Bonneau (2-4-10) and 10th-ranking Stevie Sussex (2-5-8).

Johnson has a total of six series wins so far this year, while Davis has three and Martin and Josh Pelkey have one each.
