Now the gap is much closer with 8 drivers trailing by 100 points or less with 3 drivers tied at 390 points! There are 850 points (8 races plus 1 bonus race) still up for grabs in the remaining 5 points events of the Arizona season.

 

So those of you with 4 races under your belts all you need to do is complete the 4 final events of the year to have clean shot at the top spot.

 

Remaining regular weekends.

Also don't forget about the 50 point bonus race on July 7th at Night at Firebird. Those 50 attendance points will be combined with May night race attendance points giving those that run both a free 100 point race entry.

 

 

Just a reminder that Az has completed it requirements for racer attendace for Toyo bucks so we will have a full toyo payout for the season winners.
