As we close out the month of July let's take a look at the standings in the All Iowa and All Missouri Points with one more month of weekly racing and then a full slate of autumn specials sill to be tabulated. The full rundown can be found on the Points page at www.PositivelyRacing.com.
Starting with the All Iowa Points, the Late Model division is as tight as any as "The Wildman" Kevin Blum has moved to the top of the list the past two weeks. Terry Neal is now second, longtime leader Mark Burgtorf is third and Andy Eckrich has hit his stride now moving up to fourth. Only seven points seperate these four drivers, but keep your eye on the driver in fifth as Ray Guss Jr. is coming on strong.
Jeremy Mills could probably take the rest of the year off and still win the All Iowa Modified Points as he has now opened a 68 point advantage over Adam Larson. That is the equivalent of fourteen feature wins! We wish Jeremy the best of luck as he shoots for the IMCA Modified National Championship. Max Corporan has had a breakout year and ranks third ahead of Harris Clash winner Jay Noteboom.
Kevin Sather is starting to pull away from the Limited Modified field as he now has 34 markers between he and Jesse Sobbing. Austin Kaplan, Scott Davis and Adam Ackerman fill out the top five.
Dustin Smith is looking to repeat his championship in the Stock Cars and he currently has a 22 point cushion over the second ranked driver Kevin Opheim. Mike Jergens has had quite a hot streak lately and has surged into the third spot with Trent Murphy and Andrew Burk next in line.
The biggest lead in any division belongs to Shannon Anderson as he holds a 76 point bulge over Devin Smith. Anderson too could probably park the car for the year and win the All Iowa Points, and we wish him the best of luck in chasing the IMCA Hobby Stock National title. Dustin Larson is one point of Chris Hovden for third while Hovden is only one point ahead of fifth ranked Chad Gentz.
Gary Peiffer continues to set the pace in the Four Cylinder division, but he has several drivers poised to make a move over the final three months of the season. Jeremy Campbell is just six points back in second, Nate Coopman sits third and the Chandlers, Nathan and Brad round out the top five.
In the three Sprint Car divisions Terry McCarl looks like he'll be tough to catch in the 410's, the standings in the 360's are tight with Mike Boston, Jody Rosenboom and Jack Dover separated by just five points and, while his lead is shrinking a bit Bobby Mincer continues to lead the 305 standings.
Moving south to the All Missouri Points, Randy Korte and Donnie Timmerman, two drivers who race on opposite sides of the state have swapped the lead back and forth over the past three weeks. Korte is on top for now, but by just three points. Jack Simmons, Jeremy Payne and Eric Turner are not far behind either.
Kyle Berry continues to pace the Limited Late Model group with defending champion Billy James in second. Darin Walker and Shawn Rayfield are tied for third right now.
2008 All Missouri Points champ Tim Setzer has returned to the top of the Modified standings just four points ahead of three drivers, Curt Rackers, Shawn Walsh and Tony Patterson, who are currently tied for the second spot. The fifth-place driver, Vance Wilson, is only six points away from the lead.
Brad Smith continues to lead the Limited Modified standings as he tries to hold on to be the first champion for this division. His closest competition is Mickey Burrell who is just six points behind, while J.C. Morton, Kyle Stolzer and Billy Street are further back.
Jesse Hockett still leads the Sprint Car standings as Josh Fisher and Randy Martin try to reel him in. Those two are tied for second with early leader Jerrod Hull in fourth.
Currently the final All Iowa Points event on the schedule is the 11th Annual "Shiverfest" at the Lee County Speedway in Donnellson on October 24th while the final points-paying All Missouri event is slated for November 28th as the 3rd Annual Turkey Classic will be run at the Springfield Raceway.
