PHOENIX, Ariz. (October 13, 2007) – Ventura, California's Cory Kruseman added yet another feather to his cap by topping the inaugural Parker Stores ASCS Non-Wing Western World Championship in Saturday night's 30-lap feature atop Manzanita Speedway's ½-mile clay oval, a triumph worth $5,000.

After locking himself into Saturday night's finale with a fourth-place finish in Friday's preliminary event, "The Kruser" outdueled Friday night winner Charles Davis, Jr., to capture the win aboard the Ellis Racing/Star 21 Sportswear No. 21 entry.

Kruseman and Davis battled for the point throughout, with Kruseman working the low side and Davis on top. Kruseman slipped away in the final rounds to take the checkered flag by a few car-lengths to snare his first American Sprint Car Series Canyon Region feature win.

Denied a sixth series win of the year, Davis settled for runner-up honors aboard Jim Massey's Arizona Race Mart No. 50 DRC.

While the lead pair battled all the way, there was plenty of action throughout the pack with Missouri's Jesse Hockett providing his share of fireworks by riding the cushion from the 21st starting slot to snare third in Jim Massey's second entry, the Arizona Race Mart No. 2az DRC.

Racing through the field with Hockett was R.J. Johnson, who used the low line to advance from 15th to fourth in the Weiler Farms No. 15.

After cutting down a tire in the early laps, current ASCS Canyon Region points leader Jeremy Sherman charged from the tail of the field to round out the top five in Fred Bryan's F&E Development No. 77 Maxim.

Casey Shuman snared sixth, with Chad Boat, 20th-starter Bill Rose, Mike Leslie and Mike Martin completing the top ten. Martin raced from the 13th row after utilizing a promoter's option for the main event.

Nathan High, Jerry Coons, Jr., Shuman, Michael Bonneau and Jeremy Reagles topped heat race action, with Seainn Hendricsen, Shuman, Leslie, Johnson and Bret Mellenberndt winning the qualifying races.

Bobby Marcum and Bill Rose topped "B" Main action.
