With only 4 point paying
events left in the division battles for the track titles, all 6 division
crowns are far from being settled.
In the lightning fast
NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Modifieds, Steven Reed in his dad Harry's
famous 55 is trying to claim his first NASCAR Track Championship, but holds
only a slim 8 point lead over 2004 track champ Kevin Flockhart in the Scisco
Racing 12. Multi-time Sportsman champion Chas Okerson has his number 99 just
80 points out of the lead in 3rd as he tries to add a Modified crown to his
already impressive resume. The 91 of Shaun Carrig holds the 4th spot, while
the Frank Tilton owned 77 driven by Mike Carpenter and 33 of Jason Treat
are tied for 5th heading into this weeks 40 lap feature.
Car 77 driver Rich Mongeau
continues to hold a 15 point advantage over the 43 of Ron Frees in the Street
Stocks. Driver of the number 12 John McCormack, defending champ Bill Vanderveen
in the 19, and the 1 with Ray Minieri driving all still have shot at unseating
Mongeau before the season ends. Minieri is the only driver in the top 5 in
points that has not worn this crown before.
In the Sportsman title
hunt, the 21 of Kevin Eyres has claimed 6 wins already this year, but hangs
onto a slim 9 point lead over Multi-time champ Chas Okerson, who won the
recent Scott Motor Coach 50 lapper in his 99, for his 2nd win of 2007 in
this division. The 77 of Charlie Kremer III, 5 of Dave Green, and the 14
of Elliott Wohl round out the top 5 in points with 4 weeks to go.
Coming off his first WAAS
Modified win, young Danny Bohn in the legendary 659 is trying to win his
second straight RMP Modified Affordable Division championship. The 97 of
2nd generation driver Robert Giebel trails him by only 15 points heading
into this Saturday. Kevin Eyres in the AVIS 2, 48 of Kevin Davison, and 09
of Scott Riggleman continue the battle to hold onto their top five place
in the 2007 title race.
Mike Fulton and his number
90 INEX Legend car lead that divisions point standings. Number 64 Ronnie
Poley trails Fulton by 44 points heading into this weeks event. 03 Dan Roslin,
88 Stephen Stull, and 19 of Don Neuls round out the top 5 in Legends points
thus far in the season.
In the popular Value Towing
Factory Stocks, Vern McLaughlin III in the 06 leads the field with 80 points
over 66 Nick Shaw. McLaughlin's teammate Richard Petey in the 6, the 42 of
Danny Collamer, and 21 of Joe Constandi hold the top 5 spots for the season
title with only 4 points paying races to go.
