Defending champion Tate Martz sits atop the current standings with a 157 point lead over rookie CJ Leary. Leary, who won the first TQ feature of his career on July 4th at Rushville, is embroiled in a close 2 point battle with Jason Willis for second place.
In addition to Leary other feature winners this season have been Martz (twice), Willis (twice), Tim Lynch, Nick Speidel, and Jason Knoke who won this past Friday at the Jefferson County Fair in Madison, Ind.
Leary leads Caleb Faulkner in the Tony Stewart Racing Rookie of the Year standings and Martz holds the advantage over Willis in the Tony Stewart Foundation Leader of the Pack Challenge leading 48 laps to Willis’ 36.
Martz also leads in the Ward’s Apparel Hard Charger standings with 38 feature passes to Jamie Ross’ 30 and Leary’s 29. With three straight Duel wins Willis has now closed to within 3 points of Martz in the Jackson Oil & Solvents Duel for Fuel standings.

Sandy, if you could just arrange for some cooler temps, and lower humidity, we could pack the house! Don't know yet who'll be in the seat of the "Ebay Special" yet, may be Matt, may be Kyle, guess we"ll just wait and see, Kyle is outa State again, but maybe too far this time, to get back in time. See ya all there, just wish we knew more about the track, but one thing about it, it'll be the same for everyone, NEW! Bob
