ASCS Lone Star Set for RPM-Abilene Weekend Double!

 

Lonnie Wheatley, TULSA, Okla. (May 10, 2010) – The chase for the American Sprint Car Series Lone Star title continues this coming weekend with a pair of events in the Lone Star State.

 

On Friday night, the series invades Crandall’s RPM Speedway for the first of three scheduled events in 2010. Then, on Saturday night, it’s a couple of hours to the west for the lone ASCS Lone Star stop of the season at Abilene Speedway.

 

With the opening pair of ASCS Lone Star events of the season in the books, reigning champion Kevin Ramey of Fort Worth, TX, is out to the early points lead with a 25-point advantage over Lubbock’s Preston Peebles II.

 

Alvin, TX, shoe Bean Elliott is ranked third in points, with Mesquite’s Justin Spoerl and Kermit native Kolt Walker (now calling Graham, TX, home) rounding out the current top five in points.

 

The balance of the current top ten in Lone Star points includes Claud Estes (Godley), Justin Melton (Flower Mound), Brandon Corn (Gause), Eric Baldaccini (Keller) and John Ricketts (Burleson).
