Lonnie Wheatley, TUCSON, Ariz. (May 15, 2010) – "Chargin'" Charles Davis, Jr., reeled off his third American Sprint Car Series Canyon Region feature win in a row by racing to victory lane in Saturday night's 25-lap main event atop the 3/8-mile USA Raceway clay oval.

 

The defending series champ worked forward from the seventh starting position to take the win aboard the Roush Yates Ford-powered Massey Motorsports No. 50 DRC for his 17^th career series triumph.

 

Moving into the lead in the final rounds, Davis, Jr., took the checkered flag in front of Mike Martin, who rallied from the 17^th starting position for runner-up honors after winning the "B" Main.

 

Seventeen-year-old Dalten Gabbard posted his top career ASCS Canyon Region finish by claiming the show position, with New York's Coleman Gulick charging from 16^th to fourth.

 

Pole starter Brandon Lane rounded out the top five, with Stevie Sussex, 18^th-starter Thomas Ogle, Nathan High, 20^th-starter Ronnie Clark and Bruce St. James completing the top ten.

 

Seainn Hendricsen, R.J. Johnson, Davis, Jr., and Nick Aiuto topped heat race action for Saturday night's 28-car field, with Martin winning the "B" Main.  Johnson led the way in the main event from the front row outside starting position before forced pitside with engine woes.

 

Rick Ziehl flipped in heat race action and scratched for the night, with Brian Hosford getting upside down in "A" Main action.

 

The ASCS Canyon Region fires back to action next Saturday night with the first ASCS appearance in California taking place at Perris Auto Speedway.
