Ten different drivers steered winners in Monday afternoon’s second preliminary leg of the North America Drivers Challenge at Miami Valley Raceway, with only Tyler Smith and Brandon Campbell managing two trips to the winner’s circle.
Also posting wins in the competition were Trace Tetrick, Chris Page, Tony Hall, Jonathan Roberts, John DeLong, Josh Sutton, Peter Wrenn and Randy Tharps.
Following 24 preliminary races, with each of the 30 contestants getting eight drives, the field for the championship field of ten on Tuesday afternoon is almost set.
Finishing first was Sam Widger with 132 points, followed by Tyler Smith (123), Doug McNair (119), John DeLong (118), Tony Hall (111), Trace Tetrick (105), Marcus Miller (103), Jonathan Roberts (100), Ronnie Wrenn Jr. (99), and Randy Tharps and Simon Allard, who are tied for the final spot with 97 apiece.
The random draw to break the tie for the final spot will take place at a reception dinner for all the drivers tonight, followed by the draw for post positions in the eight races that comprise the final.
Each of the 10 drivers will start with a clean scoreboard slate in the championship round with the winner garnering $10,000 of the total $25,000 pot, $5,000 for second, and payouts down to ninth place.
The entries for Tuesday’s card at Miami Valley will be updated later tonight once the post position draw for the races is complete.
