DAYTONA BEACH, FL (Thursday, May 20, 2010) - ASA Member Tracks around the United States have started their 2010 season which means that competitors at these tracks have begun the chase to be the 2010 Joe Gibbs Driven Racing Oil ASA Member Track National Champion. For the third year in a row, the National Champion will get a tryout with Joe Gibbs Racing.

 

The ASA Member Tracks who are participating in the program have or are about to start their season. Each week, the participating tracks will submit their results to ASA where it will be processed using a unique and proprietary formula that will create a point average, like a batting average in baseball, based on at least 14 race events.

 

At the end of the season, which will end at midnight on September 26, 2010, the driver with the highest point average and is the track champion at their respective ASA Member Track will be the 2010 Joe Gibbs Driven Racing Oil ASA Member Track National Champion.

 

As the season goes on and more events are added, the drivers average will fluctuate from event to event. A true average won't be established until 14 events are in the books.

 

Many of the ASA Member Tracks that have opened already have submitted at least two events, some tracks will soon be starting to submit their results which means each week we could see some new names added to the championship chase.

 

With the tracks broken down to two regions, East and West, competitors will be competing with drivers in their region for the regional title and with every ASA Member Track for the National Championship.

 

Over in the West region, Nick Parker is off to a strong start at Rocky Mountain Raceways, an ASA Member Track in West Valley City, UT, as he leads the West with an average of 0.9066. He currently has the highest average and is the points leader at RMR meaning he is the current overall leader in the National Championship.

 

Corey Jankowski, the defending track champion at Dells Raceway Park, an ASA Member Track in Wisconsin Dells, WI, currently sits at the top of the East region with an average of 0.6906. Jankowski got off to a great start by winning the opening night feature event.

 

This is only the beginning and it will be fun to watch how this will update throughout the 2010 season as more events are factored in along with more ASA Member Tracks participating as the season goes on.
