The NASCAR season continues after a week off for most. The Super Late Model Division point’s leader and eight time speedway champion Tom Moriarity (Monroe, WA) will be vying for three in row. The first two races have had Moriarity on victory stage. The last win did not come easy after having to come from the back of the race twice to win. Even with the two in row start for Moriarity, he only has a slim 5-point edge on Jeff Knight (Monroe, WA) for the 2010 season championship. Just 7-points back is Daniel Moore (Snohomish, WA).
In the feature division Street Stocks the points leader after three races is Jim Foti (Edmonds, WA)) who is looking for that first ever championship. Foti has come close but has yet to gain the big prize at the end of the season. Not far behind is Joe Kneeland (Bothell, WA) also after his first crown. In third is Darrell Lutovsky (Everett, WA) who is just 2-points back from Kneeland. Second through fifth have just three points separating them. There has yet to be a repeat winner this season.
Just two races into their respective season, the Foster Press Mini-Stock division has a tight battle going for the points lead. Current leader and former champion Nat Barber (Monroe, WA) enjoys a marginal 7-point lead over another former champion Scott LaCross (Everett, WA). John Roberts (Bothell, WA) is only 8-points from holding the top position.
