Inside Line Promotions – HIGHLANDS, Texas (April 11, 2017) – Channin Tankersley is heading to Mississippi this weekend for an ASCS Gulf South Region doubleheader.
Tankersley, who is the defending regional champion, and Kyle Turner Motorsports will compete on Friday and Saturday at Jackson Motor Speedway in Byram, where the two-day event is co-sanctioned with the ASCS Southern Outlaw Sprints.
“I’ve been there about a half dozen times,” he said. “I almost won the opening night last year. I passed the leader on the last lap and they had a caution. I’ve run second a couple of times.”
Tankersley placed second during the opener last season to tie his career-best result at the track, which he first established in 2011. He was running third with eight laps remaining during last year’s finale when he banged against the wall in turn one and cut a tire down. After getting the tire replaced he restarted at the back and ended 12th.
Tankersley also finished fourth in 2015.
“The track is super slick and that’s why I like it,” he said. “We seem to get around there pretty well. We just want to have a solid weekend. The goal is a top five both nights. I’d like to win as usual, but we want to have an issue-free weekend.”
