Bradford, PA driver Jared Zimbardi, is still the current point leader after a very grueling month of June racing with 1396 points. Steve Collins has remained consistent with a win and multiple podium finishes, he has 1308 points. Kyle Drum sits in third with 1270, Joe Trenca (1160), and Jordan Thomas (1138) complete the top five in the American series championship.
Last season at the ‘Great Race Place,’ Zimbardi scored the victory over Cory Sparks and Stewart Friesen. It was the first time the tour visited the Malta, NY facility since 2009 when Jason Barney took the victory.
