If the first three spots all pick the bottom, then the 4th place car could choose the outside of the cone and start outside the front row for the restart. If the top eight pick the bottom, 9th could pick the outside! The leader could even pick the top if he thought it was the faster way around! Once the driver picks the top or bottom, he must stay in that lane for the restart. You could have fifthteen cars lined up on the inside and only five on the outside! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Ernie Reed leads the Sportsman points standings with\u00a0a feature and a heat this season.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">The Open Wheel Modifieds are back in action with a great battle for the points lead, St Pete driver and current points leader\u00a0 Bobby Ervien is\u00a0coming into saturday nights action with a three point\u00a0advantage over Richie Smith,Smith leads all Open Wheel Modified drivers with two feature wins.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Street Stocks will be at it again this saturday ,current points leader Curtis Flanagan has had\u00a0a very solid start in 2011,coming home second last week.Curtis has a thirty eight point advantage over Bubba Martone.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">The Taylor Made Homes Pure Stocks are coming off their 50 lap race\u00a0last weekend with Levi Roberts scoring his second points win of the season,Roberts is currently fourth in the points\u00a0standings.David Walls is your current points leader.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Sheldon Palmes Mini Stocks return,and are expected to continue with some great racing,the new points leader\u00a0is\u00a0Sonya Heater,Heater is just three points ahead of Kevin Stone.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Also,this saturday making their second stop of the season to Citrus County Speedway will be the South East Champ Kart Series.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Qualifying for the Sportsmans starts at 5:30 and racing starts at 6:00. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"5\">\n<col width=\"2\"><\/col>\n<col width=\"2\"><\/col>\n<col width=\"2\"><\/col>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"2\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"2\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"2\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Midweek race report from Tony Modica &amp;
