Inside Line Promotions \u2013 HIGHLANDS, Texas (July 31, 2018) \u2013 Channin Tankersley is enjoying one of his most dominant streaks during his sprint car career.<\/p>\n
The Old School Racing pilot captured his third straight ASCS Gulf South Region feature victory last Saturday at Battleground Speedway. Even more impressive is that it marked his third straight race of sweeping the night by winning both a heat race and the main event.<\/p>\n
\u201cAny time you can win it\u2019s a confidence booster,\u201d he said. \u201cWe just have to keep trying to make the right calls off the track and then I have to be smart on the track.\u201d<\/p>\n
The three-race winning streak is his best since capturing three consecutive regional events in 2016.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe take the stuff at the shop pretty meticulously,\u201d he said. \u201cWe focus on our basic maintenance and we go over everything. We try to stay on top of everything the best we can. If you look at our past five years or so we haven\u2019t had a lot of DNFs because of parts failures. That says something about our maintenance program. It\u2019s about taking care of your stuff and being thorough.\u201d<\/p>\n
That\u2019s only half the battle as the driver has to make the right decisions on the track, which Tankersley has continued to do.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have to be as smart as you can,\u201d he said. \u201cI think this is my 13th year racing sprint cars. The more you do it the more you learn. Sometimes charging hard and putting the car in places it shouldn\u2019t be isn\u2019t the best. You try being cautious, but to still charge hard.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tankersley will take this weekend off before going for his fourth straight ASCS Gulf South Region win at Battleground Speedway on Aug. 11.<\/p>\n
