Hermitage, Missouri's Jason Pursley struggled last Saturday night as he has slipped to 85 points behind the leaders in fourth. Nathan Vaughn holds down the fifth spot.

The Carson's Corner Napa Factory Stocks is a one horse race at this point as David Hendrix has a whopping 84 point lead over Camdenton, Missouri's Kenny Carroll.

Lebanon, Missouri's Kris Jackson holds down the top position in the Tri-Lakes RV USRA B-Mods as Mike Streigel continues to search for answers on how to make up any ground.
