Tankersley Looking to Continue Momentum during ASCS Gulf South Doubleheader

Inside Line Promotions – HIGHLANDS, Texas (July 19, 2016) – Channin Tankersley is hunting for his second ASCS Gulf South Region championship.

Tankersley holds a 90-point lead in the standings entering a doubleheader this Friday at Heart O’ Texas Speedway in Waco, Texas, and Saturday at Cotton Bowl Speedway in Paige, Texas. It will mark his first races since the middle of June.

“It was nice to have a little breather to get a few things done,” he said. “We built some new stuff at the house and took a little vacation. We should be ready to roll this weekend.”

Tankersley, who has four consecutive podium finishes in ASCS Gulf South Region action, was victorious at Heart O’ Texas Speedway earlier this season during his lone visit in 2016. That gave him two straight years with a win and six consecutive seasons with at least one top-five finish there.

“We’ve been pretty decent in Waco,” he said. “I like that place. It races really good whenever it’s slick. It’s fun and racy.”

Tankersley is seeking his first career win at Cotton Bowl Speedway and his first top five at the track since 2014.

“We had a good run there the second time we went there,” he said. “Last year I crashed on the first lap. And earlier this year it got super slick and was hard to go anywhere. I don’t think it’s that we haven’t adapted to it. We just haven’t put a good heat race together to put us in position come feature-time.”
