TULSA, Okla. (February 20, 2009) -- Gearing up for a second year of winged Sprint Car competition in Arizona, the American Sprint Car Series Southwest Region has released its 2009 slate of events.

Based out of Tucson's USA Raceway, the ASCS Southwest Region is currently scheduled for 13 nights of competition. Ten of those events will take place at USA Raceway with another three cards mixed on atop Manzanita Speedway's 1/3-mile clay oval.
