SPRINT FQ POINTS TIGHTEN UP! |
|
July 18, 2005...Bobby East holds a slim lead in the latest Earl's Fast
Qualifying points in USAC's Valvoline National Sprint Car Series, despite not
competing in last week's events. He is now just four points ahead of Levi Jones
and six ahead of Jay Drake, but that should all change this week with four more
Valvoline "Indiana Sprint Week" races on tap. Top Earl's point earners last week included Dave Darland, John Wolfe and Justin Marvel (Valvoline National Sprints), Garrett Hansen (Western Midgets) and Brett Engstrom (California Ford Focus Midgets). Earl's points will be up for grabs this week in events at Milwaukee, Wis. (Weld Racing Silver Crown and National midgets), Putnamville, Gas City, Lawrenceburg and Terre Haute, Ind. (Valvoline National Sprint Cars), Salt Lake City, Utah (Western Sprints), Perris, Calif. (CRA Sprints) and Seekonk, Mass., Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Watsonville, Calif. and Sun Prairie, Wis. (Ford Focus Midgets). Points are awarded at each USAC event based on an international system awarding the top-six qualifiers with points in the following scale: 1st-9, 2nd-6, 3rd-4, 4th-3, 5th-2, 6th-1. When qualifying is not held, points are awarded based on a system of lineup points earned in the preliminary heats. Each USAC National, Western and Ford Focus Midget Car Earl's Plumbing FQ Champion will be honored at USAC's Champions Night ceremony in Indianapolis. The National and Western FQ champs will receive $5,000 each, while the Ford Focus FQ champs will each receive $1,000. 2005 Standings: Weld Racing Silver Crown: 1-Bobby East & Dave Steele-15; 3-Josh Wise-14; 4-Tracy Hines-13; 5-Dave Darland-10.
