Slated to be the 25th round of ASCS Southwest sanctioned competition at Canyon Speedway Park, the track has seen 14 different winners in 24 previous A-Features with Rick Ziehl leading the count at six wins. Bob Ream, Jr., Derrik Ortega, Jason Johnson, and Lance Norick each sit with a pair of wins. Single victories go to Billy Chester, Brady Bacon, Colton Hardy, Dusty Zomer, Logan Forler, R.J. Johnson, Tony Bruce, Jr., and Wayne Johnson.
