Qualifying Results
With only 10 races left in the regular season, the chase race appears to be as tight as ever. Scott Jackson and Johnny Reed Foley have meandered their way to several straight top-10 finishes in-a-row, and have eeked their way into the top-10 in points. Matt Raboin and Dave Miller have been knocked out after crashes at Chicagoland, but are still on the borderline of Championship livelihood. Here are the standings between 9th through 12th:
9. Scott Jackson: +14
10. Johnny Reed Foley: +7
-----------------------------------------
11. Matt Raboin: -7
12. Dave Miller: -13
Tony Pizzaro enters the Fairgrounds 42 points ahead of Tim McDonnell for the Championship. Tim has still completed every lap this season. With the possibility of not making the feature, and the simplicity of going a lap down in a 320-lap short track race, the streak may end this week.
Every driver inside the top-16 in points made the Nashville Feature other than Jimmie Stevens. The Cinderella story will take a deep hit, handing the opportunity for Rick Jackson, Zach Michael, John Tharp, Dave Miller and Matt Raboin to fly inside the chase bubble.
