7.20.19 Canyon Speedway Park Results
SWDRA Late Model Series point leader John Cornell avoided a first lap crash at the front and then proceeded to walk away from the field en route to his 2nd feature win of the season at Canyon Speedway Park. Jason Noll would capture his 2nd Arizona Differential Modified win of the year at CSP along with George Fronsman who picked up his 6th win in the Allscapes Stock Cars. Joe Vlasity now holds the most wins of the year in the Desert Restorations Hobby Stocks with his 3rd win in 2019 while Jackson Wellman finally picked up his first victory of the year in the Arizona Micro Sprints. Robert Cody closed out the evening with his division leading 4th feature win.
Craig Parker and Bruce Duckett kicked off the evening in the Late Models with heat race wins, with Parker earning his victory at the misfortune of Bud Grossenbacher who broke an axle while leading the first heat. Brad Williams would earn the pole position to fire off the 25 lap feature event, but a slip up on the opening lap would see Williams spinning and collecting Jerry Fincher, Paul Rios and Brett Hegeman. The feature would restart with Cornell leading the field back to green, utilizing a perfect restart to get out ahead of Steve Stultz and Craig Parker. Cornell would walk away from the field to earn his overall third feature win of the year while the remainder of the top four battled behind him. Craig Parker would beat out Steve Stultz for the runner up position with hard charger James Laing and Kelly Johnson rounding out the top five.
Two former Arizona Differential Modified champions in Jason Noll and Guy Norton would grab heat race wins to start off the evening. Rookie TJ Wyman would roll off on the front row of the feature next to Norton, with Norton leading the way through the first two laps. Wyman would take over on lap three while Norton’s evening would end early with mechanical issues on his new GRT car. Meanwhile, Jason Noll was clicking his way through traffic quickly, taking over the lead from Wyman as lap 4 completed. Point leader John Parmeley worked his way through the field at the same time, moving into the runner up spot from the 15th starting position. Noll would hold off Parmeley through a caution filled feature with Kenny Gill, Ryan Roath and Popeye Madrid rounding out the top five.
The Allscapes Stock Car points battle continues to heat up at the front after another 1-2 effort by George Fronsman and Cody Center. The young Georgie Fronsman earned his division leading 5th heat race win on the season and with the draw/re-draw format for the evening would pull the 2 pill to line up alongside his father George on the front row for the feature. The elder Fronsman would jump out to the immediate lead, leading all 15 laps to pick up his 6th win on the year ahead of Cody Center, David Gill, Georgie Fronsman and JC Parmeley. Center still holds a narrow 2 point lead with 3 events remaining on the season.
Daniel Romero, Joe Peterson and Joe Vlasity would capture heat race wins during a full slate of action in the Desert Restorations Hobby Stocks. The story once again came down to the two Joe’s battling it out for the win in the feature as Joe Vlasity and Joe Peterson led the field throughout the race. In the end, Vlasity would earn his division leading 3rd win on the year ahead of the new point leader Peterson. Daniel Romero would finish third ahead of Kyle Cardinal and Bradley Stafford. The tough night for Stafford would drop him out of the points lead, as the fight at the top has Peterson two points ahead of Stafford with Joe Vlasity biting at their heels another 5 points behind Stafford.
A rare smaller field of Micro Sprints joined the lineup at CSP on Back to School night with former champion Paul Martin and Drake Edwards earning heat race victories. Point leader Brandon Sutton, still looking for his first feature win of the year would start the race off from the pole position alongside Drake Edwards. Edwards would jump out to the early lead, pacing the field for the first 6 circuits around the speedway. While Edwards led the way, Jackson Wellman would fight through traffic from his 9th starting spot before making his way around Edwards to grab ahold of the top spot on lap 7. Wellman would wind up with his first feature win of the season ahead of Edwards, Sutton, Martin and Kaden Williams.
7 Sport Compacts made their way to CSP to finish out the summer scorcher, with out of towner Gene Williams picking up the heat race win early in the night. In feature action, Williams would start off from the pole and lead the way for the first half of the race. Point leader Robert Cody would start last on the field, working his way through the pack to challenge Williams at the halfway point. On lap 8, Cody would make the race winning move before walking away to his 4th feature win of the season ahead of Jackie Parmeley and Wayne O’Dell.
