GRANDE, Ariz. (February
11, 2023) Taking the
first checkered flag of
the 2023 season in ASCS
competition, Tempe’s
Sterling Cling led 24 of
25 Saturday night with
the ASCS Arizona
Non-Wing Sprints at
Central Arizona Raceway.
The second ASCS Wingless
tour that Sterling has
captured a victory with
in Arizona; the win
brings his overall to
five and makes him the
fourth driver to top
action with the ASCS

Chasing Charles Davis,
Jr. through the opening

Johnson after picking up
six positions. Chris
Bonneau crossed fourth,
with Logan Calderwood
rolling up seven
positions to finish

up sixth, followed by

20th, Pete Yerkovich
made it to eighth, with
