It has been awhile since we have seen the winner of the Inaugural NASCAR Southwest Tour Championship, Ron Esau, on track. Esau is now going back to where he left off, Tucson Raceway Park. Esau suffered a serious foot injury when he and another driver were fighting their way to the front.

Now with his foot on the mend Esau will again take to the 3/8 miles multi-banked track. Tucson, known for bringing in a large contingent of cars, sometimes 50 or more is not going to be an easy race to make. But Esau is hoping he is up to the task-and so do his many fans!
