(December 6^th, 2012) – On the heels of a historical 2012, one of the oldest and strongest traditional Sprint Car groups in the southwest joins forces with the most notable open wheel sanctions in America to bring race fans an ensemble of traditional Sprint Car action. After Charles Davis Jr. capped off a 2012 season and a top five finish at this years Western World Championships, he managed to find a moment to reflect on the season and his fifth Arizona Sprint Car driving championships.The 2012 title would also mark Jim Massey’s third as a car owner leading the Massey Motorsports team in a colossal year with several monumental wins including the Brawl for it All triumph which captured the essence of Arizona Sprint Car Racing.

Arizona Traditional Sprint Cars ?

Non wing sprint cars are being referred to....

I told you I smelled it guy's, it was in the air.

Half the lies they tell about me aren't true. 

If you noticed the ASCS was not mentioned, their out, and USAC is in. Were now the Arizona Traditional Sprint Cars with a new corporation, USAC.

I guess I can't brag that were the only non wing division in the ASCS anymore, but hey, we still don't have barn doors on our roofs.

OK Kevin, lets see you wave your magic wand and get the Midgets at the Copper

It's a better read here..http://www.canyonspeedwaypark.com/

A good thing here,(below) the Western will be a all non wing show; as it shoud be.

Half the lies they tell about me aren't true. 

We need more sprint car racing at our home track.

You must now see that USAC/ Arizona should now be running at Canyon, Arizona Speedway, the newly reopened Casa Grande, probably Cocopah, and who knows, maybe a Cali trip or two.

Half the lies they tell about me aren't true.

Looks like the Outlaw race is their only sprint show, for now. Hand down, it's the best facility in the state.

Half the lies they tell about me aren't true. 

Don't get me wrong, I'm still not a big fan of USAC running the show over here on this side, the 410's with CRA for certain, but it doe's solidify our strong non wing tradition over here in AZ.

Half the lies they tell about me aren't true.

Even before Kevin brought our non winged ASCS boy's over to Perris for a couple of show's, USAC decided it was time go on the offensive and stake out as much territory as possible to hold off any advances by the ASCS. As of now, USAC has not only put a stop to the ASCS advancement into S and central Cali, they pushed the non winged element of it right out of existence.

OK, how about that the ASCS fumbled the ball, and USAC was right there to pick it up and run with it?

Half the lies they tell about me aren't true. 

I'm thinking we need to keep a little of our own identity here in AZ by putting in a few letters of the alphabet to signify who we are, just like Cali did... I know it might sounds a little silly, but I think you need to put the ASCA, at least the ASC part, as part of the name of the show (USAC/ASC, very much like USAC put in Cali's CRA.

I don't know, maybe even USAC/ATSC would be OK.

Half the lies they tell about me aren't true.

And you'll get yours the next time I see ya..LOL

Remember we were the ASCA before the ASCS showed up, very much like how the CRA was gone when the SCRA took over. That's the Sprint Car Racers Association in case you've forgotten.

I need a proof reader, the one finger I use for typing can't follow orders worth a

Half the lies they tell about me aren't true. 

Well the glass, or beer can; is usually half full for me. ASCS is a great organization with a great product, winged sprint car racing. USAC has the name with our cars, and despite all the belly aching we all do having USAC sanction the AZ cars is an important branding aspect of business that I feel is good for us on local and national levels. We don't want to be RC Cola, we want to be Coke or Pepsi so I got to say right on Kevin. Now all you have to do is make it work, and I believe you will.

Winning a USAC South West championship would mean more to me than an ASCS Canyon championship would. Yea, I'm not all there I know; but I hope we see more good cars drop the top to go after a USAC crown in AZ next year. We'll see.
