Bryan Hulbert – TULSA, Okla. (May 8, 2019) Mother’s Day Weekend at the races. Is there a more perfect gift? We haven’t found a better one, as the ASCS Southwest Region is back in action on Saturday, May 11 at Arizona Speedway for a $2,000 to win showdown at the Queen Creek oval.
Roses for Mom on Saturday will open at 5:00 P.M. with races getting underway at 7:15 P.M. (MT). The first 120 Mothers through the gate will receive a Rose.
Rolling into the weekend, Rick Ziehl is back on a hot streak with wins in the last two outings with the ASCS Southwest Region at Central Arizona Speedway on April 13 and USA Raceway on April 27. Leading tour standings by 11 markers, the 10-time ASCS Southwest Region Champion has longtime rival, Lorne Wofford, breathing down his neck with former Series Champion, Colton Hardy, not far behind with only 34 points to make up. J.T. Imperial, who topped the field at Arizona Speedway on March 23, and Jesse Baker make up the top five going into this weekend’s event.
Set to be the fourth round of action on the season, the season's chase to glory is far from over with 13 rounds left to go, including this weekend, across Arizona and southern New Mexico.
