It’s at that point of the season where outsiders start making their appearance to try and get some seat time on the tricky half mile as they start preparations for the December Snowball All these drivers realized that only two races remain and its crunch time now as the year is beginning to wind down.

Donnie Wilson from Oklahoma leads the Blizzard points, while Texan Casey Smith is leading the points in the Southern Super Series. Each of the drivers looks to hold on to their points lead for more than just a championship. Even if they have some sort of miscue in qualifying for the Derby, it’s still possible to get a free ride into the Snowball. This weekend, also look for Bubba Pollard, David Rogers, Casey Roderick (who won the last race), Ross Kenseth, Kyle Grissom and a host of others to be on hand Also on schedule tonight are the Pro Trucks, Sportsman and Bombers.

Have fun, enjoy.
