Phillips 35, Alex Freund and Bill Baughn 34, Earl Wilson 33, Tyson
Joyce 32, newcomer Joey Hudson 30, and Brian Johnson 28. Dennis
Rios comes in on red and turns a 37, but Jerry is still your race

on his heels 152, then Phil, Alex, Dennis, Scott, Casey, and Earl.
After all was said and done and everyone got to run their eight

to beat? It’s still Roy 117, Alan 114, Jason 109, Steve and Mick
106, Jonathan 98, Joe 82, Duran 39. After the fourth and last sit-out
comes in Mitch, Joe’s kid, turns 40. Joe proves he’s normal and
only turns 37 on blue. Roy still holds on to the lead at 156, followed
by Alan 153, Mick 145, Steve 141, Jonathan 131, Joe 119, Duran 79,

to shoot at, on the track it’s Joe with 279, Duran 239, Mitch 182,
Mike 160, Chris 153, Jason 146, Gil 111 and finished with major

304, Mick 293, Steve 291, Mitch 271, Jonathan 248, and Gil 111.
