Five-time finalist Sam Harbin remains sidelined for another week through injury and his replacement, Kenny Rose, goes in the first heat at the Texas Nationals. He will be joined by four of the top seven in the championship standings as seventh place Jamie Eilers, winner of the past two events goes head-to-head against Seattle Derby winner Scott Hutchins who sits in third, fourth place Joe Ramage who has four top two finishes to his name, and fifth place Will Murphy who has yet to finish worse than sixth through his eight finals.
The second heat contains championship leader Darryl Lozier and the men who sit in eighth, ninth and tenth: winner of the Wisconsin Invitational Tom Gariepy; six-time finalist Leo May; and recent joint runner-up at the Summer National Derby Ben Hadsell, the champion of Frostbite.
Finally, both Will Thompson, who sits second in the standings, and Andy Bing, who has two event wins to his credit, will be looking to take advantage of a lean looking heat three that features only one other round winner in Spring Fling Derby champ Chris Henton.
