In UMP Late Models, Chatham’s Gregg Haskell has a sizeable lead over Jim Jones of Chatham, with 275 points.

After four weeks of racing in the Windride Transportation Services Sport Stocks division, Merlin’s Steve Shaw has put together a strong campaign, winning two features, two heats, and two crack-the-whip races, good for 295 points, and an 11 point lead over Merlin’s Eren Vanderiviere.
