There are five more events until the top twenty drivers head to Indiana to compete for double points, and today the top seven drivers are separated by just thirty-eight points, with the next three competitors a further 16.5pts back. Rob Remaley is cleared to return to action next week, so Tommy Miller has one last chance to impress, and Andy Bing is out for the Hickory Nationals with a minor leg injury; he will also return next time out but four-time finalist Bobby Gallagher will fill in here.
The first heat is stacked with talent as five of the top eight feature with Darryl Lozier looking to improve upon his recent form against Will Thompson who has made three straight finals, Tom Gariepy who has won to of the last seven, Joe Ramage who has a single points-scoring appearance in the last six weeks when he won the Bryan Family Open, and Jamie Eilers who after winnig back-to-back rounds has qualified for five out of eleven.
After winning out last week and reaching second in the standings Scott Hutchins will go in heat two, the Bluegrass Derby champion going head-to-head with Norm Gibson who has twelve finals in the last sixteen weeks, and Chris Henton who took runner-up spot last week as part of his seven consecutive weeks of appearances.
