Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Brady Bacon and Dave Darland will continue their torrid battle for the 2014 series title, separated by just 48 points with 74 available at LPS.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Bacon will try to extend Dynamics, Inc.’s all-time lead in the car owner victory standings, while Darland has an agenda of his own as well. Dynamics has 84 career victories to their credit, while Darland will seek a 51st career win in search of Tom Bigelow’s all-time series record of 52.
