Inside Line Promotions – JACKSON, Minn. (Aug. 22, 2016) – Six track championships will be decided this weekend at Jackson Motorplex.
The action begins on Friday for Livewire Printing and Pizza Ranch Night, which showcases the Last-Deck® 360 Sprint Cars and the Upper Midwest Sprint Car Series for a complete show with only one feature (rather than double features that were on the initial season schedule). The Heartland Racing Association Non-Wing Sprint Cars are also on tap along with the Liquid Nitro IMCA 305 Sprint Cars, which will be the final points-paying event of the season for the class.
The top four drivers in the class are eligible for the title heading into the race with Mike Stien on top of the standings. Colin Smith ranks second (21 points out of the lead), Jesse Lindberg third (24 points back) and Nate Eakin is fourth (25 points behind Stien).
Gregg Bakker currently leads the Last-Deck® 360 Sprint Cars championship standings by 54 points over Scott Winters with Skylar Prochaska only four points behind Winters.
The weekend will conclude at the half-mile oval on Saturday with the final points-paying night for the five Saturday classes.
Each driver can earn a maximum of 40 points per event so here are the eligible drivers for a championship in each class:
Don Gerritsen Jr. leads Chris Palsrok by 31 points in the Wilmont Oil IMCA A-Mods championship standings.
Luke Sathoff is on top of the After Hours Graphics & Tees IMCA Stock Cars by three points over Jim Larson. Levi Feltman is 23 points out of the lead, Dustin Larson 30 points behind Sathoff and Gary Mattison 31 points out of the top spot.
Justin Luinenburg has a 19-point advantage in the Minnesota West – Jackson Campus IMCA Hobby Stocks standings over Austin Jahnz.
