We have now run 9 races in the LROC season and have reached the halfway point. Through the first part of the season we've found out that there is now slowing FASCAR down, P10 Select isn't ready to give up their crown just yet, and Lucky Dog Racing has pretty much packed it up for the year.
FASCAR and P10 Select were taking turns with their drivers winning and now P10 Select pulls ahead as Bill Lawson wins race #9. This is Bill's fourth career top 5 of his LROC career. He now leads all drivers with the most wins. Bill needed it too because he was stuck down in 14th place, the lowest of the P10 Select drivers who ran all races this year. Bill moves up 2 spots to 12th place.
Well, just like it was last week, P10 Select had one of their drivers in victory lane but the team win doesn't go to them. Instead it goes to FASCAR for the 5th time this season who records 5245 points for the week. They placed two of their drivers in the top 5 and three more in the top 10.
The highest FASCAR driver was Austin E. who finished in 2nd place. This is the best finish of the year for Austin who gets his 5th top 5 this week. He moves up one spot to 6th place.
Finishing right behind Austin is his teammate Randy Dorris. Randy had a huge win in race #7 but really struggled the following week. He rebounds nicely this week with his 4th top 5 of the year. He moves up one spot to 7th.
P10 Select takes the rest of the top 5 with Brian Speers coming in 4th place. Brian has now put up three consecutive top 5 finishes after replacing Larry Wagner three races ago. Not a bd start at all. If he keeps this up, he'll pass some of the members who raced the entire season.
Last week's winner, Jay Smogolski finishes in fifth place this week and adds to his points total. Jay was tied with John Magee for the lead coming into this race, but now has the top spot all to himself.
The highest driver for Lucky Dog Racing was Gary Wheat who finished in 10th place. For the second week in a row, Lucky Dog Racing has only managed to place one driver in the top 10. They fall back even further and are now a whopping 1975 points behind the lead.
Well after a long stretch of races week after week, the LROC series takes a rest. It will return in nearly a month from now when we race at Indianapolis for the Allstate 400 and the two races at O'Reilly Raceway Park.
Ron Hornaday was a popular Truck series pick and gave a number of members some bonus points.
