e all know that W Daniel Hemric secured his first ever championship here in the Buddy’s Home Furnishings Super Late Models, along with Bubba Winslow in Super Stocks. We’re pretty darn sure it’s all decided in the Sportsman, with Steve Buttrick and Bombers, with Michael Nelson as they both have a pretty comfortable lead in their respective divisions.

ow on the other hand, N the Pro Late Models, Pro Trucks and Modifieds are all “Oh So Close”. The Pro Late Models have a fierce battle going on between two youngsters as Garrett Jones holds a slim 12 point lead over Bryce Dulabhan. This has been a yearlong battle between these two drivers. See inside for the points listing.

It’s good to be king. But the effort, prudence and resolve that go into becoming king aren’t, at times, all that glamorous. Brandon Howell certainly sounds like he’s ready to become the Modifieds king. Howell holds a slim, five-point lead over defending champion Donnie Hamrac. But instead of being anxious about holding onto that rickety cushion, Howell is taking a fairly laissez faire approach. “I want a championship bad, don’t get me wrong,” the Lucedale, Miss., resident said. “But I’ve never been in this position before. We’ll just race, and do what we like to do. It ain’t gonna kill me if we don’t win one.” In the Pro Trucks, “Chopper” Stagner’s lead against Jay Jay Day is even tighter than Howell’s advantage over Hamrac. Despite winning all four Pro Trucks features this season, Stagner sits only four points ahead of Day. With three points separating each finishing position, that leaves Stagner little wiggle room.

“We have prepared as well as anybody could,” Stagner said. “We have decided to just go race as hard as we can and hope that the racing gods have mercy on us.
