Texas Super Racing Series (TSRS) standout Tommy Gural will be gunning

for his 4th victory of the year and second in a row as he tries to take

the Texas Triple

Crown home to Elgin Texas. Gural, winner of race number one in the

three race series know as the Texas Triple Crown, comes to Houston with

momentum on his

side. But he isn't just eyeing the Texas Triple Crown; he also has his

sights set on the Texas Super Racing Series Championship Crown. Gural

trails championship points leader Ronny New of Austin, Texas by a mere

30 points heading into this weekends race at Houston Motorsports Park

(formerly Houston Motor Speedway). With two races remaining in the

inaugural TSRS season the summers long points battle is shaping up to be

real nail biter that could be decided

this weekend in Houston or go down to the wire in San Antonio on October

11th, the final race of the Texas Triple Crown. There is a lot on the

line this weekend and it is sure to be a fun and exciting night filled

with typical Saturday night bull ring short track racing action.
