Track Championship: 2-car battles in most of the divisions
Looking at the different battles in our 4 regular divisions, one thing that all divisions have a in common is that 2 drivers in each are distancing themselves from the field. In the Picard Mobile Truck Repair 358-Modifieds, Chris Raabe has a slight 6 points edge over Corey Wheeler as Carey Terrance is still in the mix with 29 points behind. Shane Pecore is now the new leader in the Next Level Home Improvement Sportsman with 10 points over Ryan Stabler.
