Tankersley Tackling ASCS Gulf South Region Doubleheader This Weekend

Inside Line Promotions – HIGHLANDS, Texas (April 14, 2015) – Channin Tankersley’s defense of his first career ASCS Gulf South Region championship got off to a rocky start last month.

After a couple weeks of waiting since his season-opening weekend, Tankersley will return to action this Friday at Heart O’ Texas Speedway in Waco, Texas, and Saturday at Gator Motorplex in Willis, Texas.

“We certainly didn’t end up with the results we wanted the first two races and it’s been tough to be patient the last couple of weeks, but we’re excited to get back to the track this weekend,” he said. “I don’t think the first weekend of the season will make or break the rest of the season, but it has me fired up for this weekend.”

Tankersley, who was caught up in a crash during each main event of that opening weekend, has a good track record at both places he is racing this weekend.

He’s earned four runner-up finishes in his last five races at Heart O’ Texas Speedway, including his two most recent at the quarter-mile track.

“It’s always a positive when you earn podium finishes, but on the other hand I would have liked to turn some of those seconds into wins,” he said. “We do have confidence going into this weekend knowing that we’ve had a car in contention the past several races there.”

Tankersley recorded a pair of top 10s last year at Gator Motorplex, where he has only raced three times since winning in 2012.

“We haven’t raced at Gator very often the past few years,” he said. “It’s another high-banked, small track where you get your elbows up. It presents an exciting challenge for Saturday.”
