With the exception of the big block Modifieds, not much changed in the Cavalcade Points last weekend with not a whole lot of races scheduled and even less being run due to the rain. Coming up this week will be the last "BIG" weekend of the season with the World of Outlaws Sprint Cars at Lernerville and two-day shows at Mercer, Eriez and Dog Hollow. Several big ones after that such as the Pittsburgher and the Stampede at Lernerville, but the number of races scheduled each weekend is decreasing quickly! Here is a look at the Cavalcade Points and feature wins heading into the weekend.
SPRINT CARS. Jack Sodeman, Jr. has his second Cavalcade honor all but won here with a 27 point lead. Even if A J Flick or Sheldon Haudenschild won all three remaining races, they could only tie Sodeman.
1. Jack Sodeman, Jr. 56 (9)
2. A J Flick 29 (4)
Sheldon Haudenschild 29 (1)
4. Carl Bowser 24 (4)
5. Brandon Matus 18 91)
LATE MODELS......With 16 wins, Max Blair has had the Late Models won for quite a while now. However, second is wide open with six drivers within ten points of second with at least five big races left.
1. Max Blair 121 (16)
2. Dave Hess, Jr. 51 (3)
3. Matt Cosner 49 (7)
4. Josh Richards 45 (3)
5. Robbie Blair 44 (6)
6. Jared Miley 43 (5)
7. Alex Ferree 41 (8)
8. Russell King 34 (4)
9. Tim Senic 30 (4)
10. Keith Barbara 29 (2)
MODIFIEDS............Third generation New York driver Erick Rudolph took the lead from Rex King, Jr. by winning the Russ King Memorial at Sharon Saturday and now leads by 7. Only the Lernerville Stampede remains, but both drivers have told me they will not be there for that one. King has a family wedding to go to and Rudolph will be running a small block race in Canada that weekend. So unless something changes, this one appears settled!
1. Erick Rudolph 48 (5)
2 Rex King, Jr. 41 (5)
3. Mat Williamson 31 (8)
4 Rex King 28 (1)
5. Garrett Krummert 21 (1)
LIMITED LATE MODELS.........With a 28 point lead, Max appears to have this one won as well and for the second straight year will win both the Late Models and the Ltd. Lates. Second through 4th is quite close.
1. Max Blair 83 (12)
2. Jeremy Wonderling 55 (10)
3. Darrell Bossard 51 (7)
4. Damian Bidwell 44 (7)
5. Bryce Davis 33 (2)
LIMITED MODIFIEDS..........The season long battle between past Cavalcade winners David Scott and Joel Watson continues with Scott ahead by 12. Both drivers have won 18 times this year!! At least three big races remain, so it could go either way and could be decided at the Stampede. Everyone else is way back.
1. David Scott 101 (18)
2. Joel Watson 89 (18)
3. Brad Rouse 50 (4)
4. Dan Davies 49 (3)
5. Jimmy Holden 47 (8)
LIMITED SPRINT CARS..........These guys haven't seen much action in the past several weeks and lost the double point Tri-City race Sunday to the weather. Two nights of racing at Mercer's Little Guy Nationals may decide it, although there might be one more race at Thunder Mountain.
1. Andy Priest 33 (4)
2. Jacob Gomola 24 94)
3. C J Jones 23 (2)
Jimmy Seger 23 (6)
5, Cody Bova 15 (1)
STOCK CARS...........Chris Schneider is looking for repeat honors here but has to hold off Fuzzy Fields, the top circuit winner, and past Cavalcade winner Nate Smith. There are about a half-dozen big races left, but hard to tell who will go where!!
1. Chris Schneider 74 (7)
2 Fuzzy Fields 60 (13)
3. Nate Smith 40 (9)
4. Dave Shagla, Jr. 38 (9)
Corey McPherson 38 (7)
GOOD RACING TO ALL!!!!
