Damion "the Demon" Gardner heads into this weekend as a favorite as the 9 time USAC/CRA Sprint Car champion heads to Arizona for the running of The 55th Annual Chapman Chevrolet Western World Championships presented by Yuma Insurance and Avanti Windows and Doors at Cocopah Speedway in Somerton Arizona. He comes in with some confidence as he looks to add another championship to his title belt as he leads the series into the final two weekends here at Cocopah and heads to Perris Auto Speedway for The 26th Annual Heimark Anheuser Busch Budweiser Oval Nationals. He also brings in a nice winning streak into the weekend at the Somerton speed plant as he won the last 5 races in a row at the 3/8th dirt oval dating back to 2013 with wins on 4/19 & 4/20 of 2016 and then on 1/27, 1/28, & 1/29 of 2022. It won't come easy for Mr. 9 time as the USAC National Series will be in town as well looking to stop the streak.
