DAYTONA BEACH, Florida -- While Joe Kosiski remains atop the Division II standings of the NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series this week, Shane Riner and Eric Humphries have charged into the top five.
Riner is fourth in the standings – one spot down from the position he held five weeks ago. The Guyton, Ga., driver – who registered his sixth win of the season over the weekend at Oglethorpe Speedway Park in Savannah, Ga. – has 790 points.
Humphries, of Stockton, Calif., gained fifth in this week’s rankings after taking over the lead in NASCAR points at Stockton 99 Speedway. He has accumulated 592 points – with one win, six top-five and 11 top-10 finishes this season.
Kosiski, meanwhile, remains solidly atop the standings in the first and second positions. The Omaha, Neb., driver is ranked twice in the standings, by virtue of leading the NASCAR points at both facilities where he competes – I-80 Speedway at Nebraska Raceway Park and Adams County Speedway in Corning, Iowa. With seven wins this season, the former NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series national champion has accumulated 1,068 points.
