As is usually the case by the time a typical race series reaches the 9th event in a 13 race series everyone involved becomes acutely aware of the points chase. The Auto Max Bracket Series is no exception. Event winners last weekend and a brief points by category update is always fun to do….

In Super Pro Puyallup’s Mark Cavar has been dominant for the majority of the season, further extending his points lead with a win last Saturday night. Although looking at the points going into Saturday’s action first and second place are separated by a mere 18 points! With this win Mark put a bit more distance between himself and AL Chinn who sits in second place.

Pro Bracket is even more tightly bunched at the top of the points standings with the top five drivers separated by 35 points prior to Saturday’s action. A single point separates Brad Craig from Dustin Martin who won the double header the previous weekend to vault into contention and the championship aspirations that go with it. Former track and Division Champion Kenny “O Light” O’Keefe won the category last Saturday.

Sportsman action saw Jerry Durant Jr. from Oregon City, OR play the roll of spoiler in his 2005 Dodge Ram truck with a win! While the points in Sportsman seem to be a six driver battle with future Division Six “Hall of Famer” Don “the Worm” Elgin leading the chase that features the top six drivers separated by 70 points going into Saturdays event!

Points in the Motorcycle division are even more entertaining as Jacob Havens and points leader “Mighty Joe” Lind were separated by only 30 points leading into Saturday’s action. But the win by Mark Sires was important as it at least for the moment propelled him into contention for a possible entry into the all important Summit Race Of Champions at this years Summit E.T. Finals hosted this year at home at Pacific Raceways!
