ASCS / Wesmar Challenge Leader Board

 

 

Lonnie Wheatley, TULSA, Okla. (August 1, 2007) – With just seven weekends of qualifying events remaining to accumulate points for the ASCS / Wesmar Challenge, American Sprint Car Series teams throughout the nation are keeping a watchful eye on each series podium finishers.

 

 

 

The ASCS / Wesmar Challenge, set to take place during the Devil's Bowl Winter Nationals in Mesquite, TX, on October 13, will pit the top contenders from the O'Reilly American Sprint Cars on Tour Nationals series against the top two Challenge points earners from each of the eleven winged Regions.

 

 

 

Thus far in 2007, 50 different drivers have reached ASCS victory lane on at least one occasion in the 103 winged ASCS features throughout the country.

 

 

 

A total of 628 different drivers have competed in at least one of the 103 winged ASCS events through July 31, with the wingless Canyon Region drivers bumping the total to 679.

 

 

 

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.
