Last time out, AJ Flick inherited the lead from Sye Lynch and then held off some stiff resistance from Dan Shetler and Carl Bowser en route to his first feature win of 2017 at Lernerville. Flick leads the season standings to this point and has done so by being patient, consistent and fast week in and week out. Shetler lies just 14 points behind with Jack Sodeman Jr. 24 points back.
Gary Kreiss Jr. has been running as fast as any of the top three at various points in the season to date and could be due for a win in his comeback season. He currently sits fourth in the standings coming into the weekend with three heat wins and three top five finishes thus far this year.
