Inside Line Promotions – HIGHLANDS, Texas (Aug. 16, 2016) – Channin Tankersley’s bid for a second ASCS Gulf South Region championship is getting closer as the season is winding down.

There are only four remaining races on the schedule, including two this weekend – Friday at Heart O’ Texas Speedway in Waco, Texas, and Saturday at Lone Star Speedway in Kilgore, Texas.

Tankersley currently leads the series with four wins, eight top fives and nine top 10s and he swept the two most recent events to give him a 121-point advantage in the championship standings. In fact, Tankersley has earned six consecutive podium finishes during ASCS Gulf South Region action.

He is 2-for-2 at Heart O’ Texas Speedway, where he’s won both events this season.

“Heart O’ Texas tends to get rough whenever it gets heavy,” he said. “The first night this season it was rough and heavy. The second night it was super slick. Usually when that place is rough and heavy it’s hard to pass because everyone is fast. I like it when it gets slicked up.”

He also scored a podium with a third-place result during his only visit this season to Lone Star Speedway.

“I like the place,” he said. “Usually that place has a gnarly cushion and is super slick. The last time it got slick at the beginning of the A Main, but at the end of the race it started getting heavy and rough. I’m pretty excited for this weekend. Both of these places are tracks I like.”
