ASCS / Wesmar Challenge Leader Board

 

 

Lonnie Wheatley, TULSA, Okla. (May 17, 2007) – With a dozen O'Reilly American Sprint Cars on Tour National events in the books and each of the eleven winged ASCS Regions under way, the ASCS / Wesmar Challenge is heating up.

 

 

 

In the National ranks, Gary Wright continued to build his lead while the duo of Wayne Johnson and Jason Johnson are embroiled in a neck-and-neck battle for that critical second position.

 

 

 

The top two drivers in ASCS / Wesmar Challenge points for the National Tour and each of the eleven winged Regions at the September 15 cutoff date will earn invitations to the October 13 ASCS / Wesmar Challenge at the Devil's Bowl Speedway Winter Nationals in Mesquite, TX.

 

 

 

The ASCS / Wesmar Challenge will be run in two 15-lap segments, with an inversion following the first segment. Passing and finishing points will be in effect for both segments, with the top points earner coming away with a new Wesmar Racing Engine.

 

 

 

Drivers earn points towards the Wesmar Racing Engines Challenge by earning three points for a feature win, two points for a runner-up finish and one point for each third-place feature finish. A driver must compete in at least 60% of a respective Region's events and be a registered member of the American Sprint Car Series to represent that Region in the ASCS / Wesmar Racing Engines Challenge.
