Kevin Sullivan led the way for the Cool Pool and was their highest driver in 2nd place. It was the 5th top 5 for Kevin who is inching closer to the points lead. Looks like he will be challenging for the title to the end of the season.
Kevin will have to get by Dean Higley who will retake the points lead after finishing third with his 5th top 5 as well. Dean moves past Fred Moore who finishes in 12th place this week. The defending LROC champion is going to be tough to beat again this year.
Scott Polohonki will have something to say about beating Dean after scoring his league leading 7th top 5 of the year. He finishes in 4th place and is the 2nd of the The Cool Pool drivers in the top 10. Will Riney also finished in 8th place for the them. The team finished in 2nd place and gained points on P10 Select who finished 3rd this week.
Matt Sealey rounded out the top 5 after he picked up his 4th top 5 of the season. He looks to get back in the top 10 and should do it this week.
The driver points will be updated very shortly so you can see where everyone shakes out. The team points have already been completed.
Next week the series has off but will return in two weeks at Atlanta and Kentucky for race #13 of the season.
