Billy Street sets on top of the standing while a tight battle for second
including Roy Maynard and Mike Hailman lurk in the hunt as another big field

competition as Park Jones and Jason Rayle are deadlocked in the standings as
the class has been providing 3 wide action all season long.

action as Jeremy Manes holds a narrow lead over Adam Brown and a good field
of cars is expected as the Show-Me Series has this Sat night off.
