The drivers who finished first and third at last week's Byran Family Open are together in the first heat of event twenty-two. Joe Ramage won his second event of the year while Norm Gibson took his sixth podium finish this season, and both men will go against double event winner Jamie Eilers and one-time champ Ben Hadsell.
Darryl Lozier continues to search for the form he enjoyed earlier in the season as he enters the event in San Antonio, Texas, with no wins in ten weeks and a best result of fourth place in that span. The good news for him is that the fourth place finish came in this state at the Teas Nationals. Joining him in heat two are Scott Hutchins who has two finals, both third place finishes, in the last seven rounds; Tom Gariepy who won the Arkansas Derby a fortnight ago; and Will Murphy who hangs in the top ten despite just one final appearance, sixth at the Firecracker Open, in the past nine weeks.
Finally, the current occupier of second spot in the standings goes in heat three as Will Thompson, fresh off his runner-up place in Milwaukee, looks to keep the pressure on Lozier at the top. His main rival here will be Andy Bing who has missed three of the last six finals and has finished outside of the points in two of those he did qualify for.
