Six of the “top-10” in the USAC Southwest Sprint Car standings have a trio of “top-10” finishes in the three races held so far this year at Arizona Speedway. The series returns to the one-third mile dirt oval at E.T. Motorpark in Queen Creek this Saturday.

Point leader R.J. Johnson has a win, a third and a sixth and holds a 74-point edge in the points over runner-up Charles Davis Jr. Davis has a win and a third but also an 11th.
