4-RACE SOUTHWEST “FREEDOM TOUR” IN MID-AMERICA

R.J. Johnson of Phoenix, Ariz. leads the series to these four special events and he will maintain his 82-point margin over Charles Davis Jr. when the points championship resumes September 7 at Arizona Speedway in Queen Creek, Ariz.
Johnson and Davis have accounted for 12 of the 19 Southwest Sprint races contested so far. Johnson has eight wins and Davis four. Series regulars Mike Martin, Josh Pelkey and Rick Ziehl also have a 2013 victory to their credit.
