Inside Line Promotions – HIGHLANDS, Texas (March 28, 2017) – Channin Tankersley was hampered by an ignition problem during his season debut with Kyle Turner Motorsports last Saturday at Battleground Speedway.

The ASCS Gulf South Region event began on a positive note as Tankersley pulled a low pill draw to start a heat race on the pole.

“Everything ran great in hot laps,” he said. “In the heat race we jumped out to the lead and led a lap and then the motor started to lose cylinders so I pulled off.”

Tankersley was unable to finish the heat race and the team worked hard to fix the problem prior to the main event, which they started at the back of the field.

“We put a new MSD box on it and went through the fuel system,” he said. “We went out and did a hot-lap session during intermission and the engine ran great. I went to start the A Main and right at the start the engine started doing it again so I probably didn’t make a lap. Come to find out a few people have been having the same problem with the mag.”

Tankersley was credited with a 17th-place finish and he said the team is going to hot lap the car this weekend to make sure that fixes the problem.
