The Top Gun Sprint Car Series features the top 360 sprinters in the region battling for the 2010 points championship in a two night event that will begin on Friday at Ocala Speedway and continue on Saturday at Volusia Speedway Park. The double race weekend puts an added need to perform on racers like Ryan Partin, who currently tops the Top Gun points standings, as they have to survive Ocala’s tricky 3/8ths mile layout and travel just over 50 miles east to VSP in order to do it all again the following day on the big half mile speedway. Partin’s lead is a mere two points over Tim George, so look for the two night stand this weekend to either lead to changes at the top of the heap, or to reaffirm Partin’s superiority.
The Florida Mini Sprint Association touts itself as “Florida’s best kept secret” and yet by providing exciting high speed action at every track that they visit they certainly are not shy about making their secret stay a secret. Brett O’Donnell is at the top of the 2010 points heap and looking to stay there, but Eddie Moss Jr, and his daughter Rhea Lynn Moss, are both in hot pursuit. The previous visits to Volusia Speedway Park this season have resulted in flips, thrills, and close finishes, so look for more of the same this Saturday night.
Back on June 5th the scheduled Budweiser Modified Mania ended up rained out by a sudden deluge, so this Saturday night will make up the $1200 to win event and give race fans something extra to cheer about. Jamie Carter still hangs onto the points lead despite Jeff Mathews closing the gap a little after last Saturday’s win, and no doubt that with the extra large check in the balance along with a possible championship, things will be extra exciting when the green flag waves this time around.
And the Amsoil Synthetic Lubricants Thunder Stocks will be back in action this week after a weekend that saw a disqualification of the #27 car of Chad Scranton, then saw that DQ rescinded on Monday after further review of the findings, giving Scranton his decisive win back. Scott Mooers remains one of the top racers in his class in the nation, currently ranked in second place in the UMP DIRTcar national rankings while he holds a comfortable lead in the 2010 points standings at VSP. But Luke Sadler and Chad Scranton, are not impressed and are consistently outrunning Mooers at this point in the season, leading Mooers to comment in an online post that he seriously needs to step his game up.
