A super effort is what is on the minds of the Super Stock top drivers for their feature race on Friday the 28th, The Wayne’s Diner 35 lap event is a stretch, literally, they usually go 25 laps in a feature.
Bur it’s worth the extra effort because it is double points for the drivers.
Shannon Jackson from Pascagoula, a past champion, has a 26 point lead on Crestview’s John Shuffler. (He’s the driver who had to crawl out of his burning car in turn 1 last month,) In their rear view mirror is Randy Thompson of Pensacola, anxious to take home the division trophy in this faster division.
Earl Polk and Mike Moore, team mates from Pensacola round out the top 5.
The drivers will qualify for the first time this year, instead of heat races for position. A good qualifying run, staying clear of trouble in the feature, and double points leads to an exciting competition. Anyone for new tires?.
They then will have one more race before the Snowball. The Super Stock finale will be during Blizzard 5 in September.
