Hot on the New Mexico veteran’s heels is Arizona’s Bob Ream, Jr. with Colton Hardy third. After leading the points earlier this season, mechanical gremlins have pushed the No. 75x of J.T. Imperial to fourth with Lance Norick advancing to fifth from ninth in standings following his victory this past Saturday at the Canyon Speedway Park.

Casey Buckman holds sixth with Wes Wofford, Jeremy McCune, James Aragon, and Logan Forler completing the top-ten in driver standings.
