Herrera Hustles Up ASCS Southwest Win
at Canyon Speedway Park!
Lonnie Wheatley, PEORIA, Ariz. (May 22, 2010) – Johnny Herrera
picked off his second American Sprint Car Series Southwest feature
win of the season by reaching victory lane in the return of winged
Sprint Cars to Canyon Speedway Park on Saturday night.
The winner of the last winged feature atop the Peoria clay more than
four years ago, Herrera took advantage of a late caution to take the
top spot in Saturday night’s 25-lapper aboard the familiar No. 45x
Maxim.
Albuquerque’s Herrera took the checkered flag in front of two-time
and reigning series champion Rick Ziehl, who led much of the way and
moved back atop the point charts with a runner-up finish.
Fifteen-year-old Joshua Hodges made the podium two-thirds New Mexico
drivers by claiming the show position, with John Gaston and Bernie
Smith rounding out the top five.
J.T. Imperial, Calvin Landis, Kaylene Verville, Koty McGullam and
Jessica Van Dyke completed the top ten.
Herrera, Bud Goodwin and Gaston topped Saturday night’s heat race
action.
