rebelracewriter Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Boat Sinks Sherman's ASCS Canyon Region Streak with Casa Grande Gold Lonnie Wheatley, CASA GRANDE, Ariz. (May 12, 2007) – It took a 15-year-old dynamo in the form of Chad Boat to put a screeching halt to a seemingly unstoppable Jeremy Sherman in American Sprint Car Series Canyon Region action, as the young gun charged to victory lane in Saturday night's 25-lap feature at Central Arizona Raceway. Boat's strong drive to the winner's circle snapped a four-race win streak by Sherman in ASCS Canyon Region competition. While Boat, the son of past Indy car racer and Chili Bowl champion Billy Boat, started the feature event from the front row outside, it was past Arizona state Sprint Car champion Charles Davis, Jr., gunning into the lead at the drop of the green flag. But the young Boat kept the pressure on before finally muscling into the lead midway through the feature event and then fighting off a late challenge to snare his first career ASCS feature victory and second overall Sprint Car feature win aboard the Billy Boat Performance Exhaust/Room Store No. 30 Maxim. Sherman fought his way into the runner-up position in the final rounds, with Davis settling for the show position. Josh Pelkey snared fourth, with Mike Martin posting his best run of the season by rounding out the top five. Bernie Smith was sixth, with Andrew Reinbold, Bob Ream, Jr., Michael Colegrove and Jeff Henry completing the top ten. Bruce St. James and J.T. Imperial both flipped in the feature event. There were no injuries. Reinbold, St. James and Sherman topped heat race action.
