ASCS numbers going into the final swing

ASCS numbers going into the final swing

Bryan Hulbert - TULSA, Okla. (October 31, 2013) With the 2013 season on the verge of becoming a memory, the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by MAVTV American Real venture into their final four nights starting on November 1 at the El Paso Speedway Park.

While the numbers posted by drivers throughout the season tell the story of a driver’s performance, most would argue the number that counts the most is points earned.

Looking to wrap up his fourth Lucas Oil ASCS presented by MAVTV American Real National Title, current point’s leader Jason Johnson is far from easy breathing. Despite an advantage of 66 markers over Johnny Herrera, the final four nights of competition are, for the most part, in Herrera’s back yard.

Even with that in mind, Johnson has performed masterfully in the southwest already in 2013, sweeping the first two rounds of the Cocopah Cup Challenge at Yuma’s Cocopah Speedway on March, the same facility that will host the 2013 season ending weekend on Friday, November 8 and Saturday, November 9 with a first night $3,000, and final night $20,000 to win A-Feature that is already rumored to be attracting names from nearly every ASCS Region. Jason Johnson’s sweep at the start of the season puts him in line for a possible $5,000 bonus should he repeat his success at the Season Finale.

Jeff Swindell’s hold on third has come under fire in the season’s final events as Brad Loyet has closed to 23 points behind the Tennessee veteran. Conceivably though, Tony Bruce, Jr. could very well over take the pair, sitting only 67 back from taking the final podium step at this season’s awards ceremony on Sunday, November 10 at the Cocopah Resort and Casino.

The remainder of the top ten sits fairly solid. Logan Forler is on tap to record his best point’s season against the National Tour in sixth. Seth Bergman holds seventh with Dustin Morgan eighth. Cole Wood has already put a nice ribbon around the 2013 Brodix Rookie of the Year award over Brandon Hahn who will end the season tenth.

A look at the numbers driver have posted so far is as follows…
