Inside Line Promotions – HIGHLANDS, Texas (Aug. 30, 2016) – Channin Tankersley is one weekend away from scoring his second career ASCS Gulf South Region championship.

Tankersley enters this weekend’s doubleheader with a 121-point lead in the championship standings. If he finishes last – 20th – in the A Main both nights and the driver ranked second in the standings sweeps the weekend Tankersley will still win the title by one point.

“I’ve tried not to look at the points, but it’s not a lot of pressure on me,” he said. “We’re going to go out there and attack and try to get two more wins.”

The weekend begins on Saturday at Battleground Speedway in Highlands, Texas, before Golden Triangle Raceway Park in Beaumont, Texas, hosts the finale on Sunday.

“I really like Battleground,” he said. “I’ve had good success there over the years. It fits my driving style of hammer down.

“We struggled at Golden Triangle for four or five years really bad. Within the last year or so we’ve turned that around. We’ve won a race and ran second a couple of times. I’m looking forward to both of the tracks this weekend because we race relatively well there.”

Tankersley is also only one win away from setting a season high for victories.
