"ASA NW Tour Rookie Of The Year Eager For Showdown Weekend"

PORTLAND, Oregon - For Joey Tanner it seems like only yesterday that he was behind the wheel of an asphalt late model stock car for the first time in his driving career and turning laps at the famed Toyota Speedway at Irwindale in the 2009 NASCAR Toyota All-Star Showdown. The reality is Tanner and the rest of the super late model field took to the track nearly a year ago just long enough to dial their cars in and then watched the rains fall for nearly two straight days without getting the opportunity to race the entire event. Fast forward to this year’s Showdown and the driver of the Jody’s Chevrolet Impala heads to Southern California brimming with confidence after winning the 2009 ASA Northwest Late Model Tour Rookie of the Year title and the prestigious Yakima Speedway Fall Classic. A short-lived trip to Irwindale one year ago still resonates with the Portland native, he said. “The Showdown is a race every driver wants to win and for me it was a need to win situation (in 2009) for exposure purposes,” said the former dirt late model hot shoe. “Having the race on SPEED was a bonus and to have a shortened race dictate the outcome (of the winner) was very hard to swallow-especially after the kind of year we ended up having on the asphalt in 2009.” Click here to continue

Cottage Grove, Oregon- It was a race to do very well at, a date that had been circled on the young man from Portland’s schedule all year long. For Joey Tanner the goal at the start of the year was to win the Fall Classic at the Yakima Speedway in Yakima, Washington. That goal would be accomplished last Sunday night in central Washington for the driver of the B.J. Tidrick owned #72 Asphalt Late Model. For Tanner the weekend started off great by timing in fifth fastest out of forty-one cars in qualifications. Starting in the third row, for the prestigious race at the fast half-mile paved oval, he went straight to work in the two hundred-lap race. It only took twenty laps for the young and up and comer to get to the second place position and eight laps later the lead was his.
