This Friday and Saturday night March 28th & 29th Canyon Speedway Park in Peoria Arizona will host the opening round of the Barnett Harley-Davidson Touring Series. For 2008 the Touring Series will determine the overall Barnett Harley-Davidson Series Champion.

Whitwell in a new Hughes car will be one of the contenders for the Tour title as he plans to run the entire series. Each champion has won special events already in 2008 and is a favorite in the Tour Series. Canyon Speedway regular Jason Noll is riding a hot streak with 3 wins in 4 races at Canyon this year in the BTS sponsored Hoffman car. Anthony Madrid with Multiple wins in 2008 will have his Flexi-Flyer Hatfield car ready for the tour competitors. Former Tour champion Scott Logston won the Canyon Winter Challenge series this year and will return for the Tour Series in his JR Motorsports Dirt Works.
