Beebe, Arkansas (7/08/08) – After a two week break the O’Reilly MSRA Super Late Models will continue their 2008 campaign this Friday and Saturday night with a pair of events in the Razorback state.
With six events in the books for 2008, five different drivers have found their way into victory lane with the series. Heading into this weekend’s event, defending O’Reilly MSRA Champion, Joey Mack from Benton, Missouri, continues to sit atop the point standings as the season approaches the midway point.
Jeff Floyd from Walnut Ridge, Arkansas is currently second in the point standings and will be looking to end his string of bad luck this weekend.
Kuntz & Co. Rookie of the Year Contender, Jon Kirby, from Russellville, Arkansas continues to hold down the third spot in the point standings and has been picking up momentum over the past month.
2007 O’Reilly MSRA Rookie of the Year, Billy Moyer Jr., currently rounds out the top five in points and will be looking to make up ground in this weekend’s doubleheader.
This weekend the top drivers in the O’Reilly MSRA point standings will be joined by a tough cast of competitors as the tour takes another double dip in the state of Arkansas. Drivers expected to compete at one or both events over the course of the weekend include Dewaine Hottinger (Arkansas), Kyle Beard (Arkansas), Dane Dacus (Tennessee), Jordan Jones (Arkansas), Jon Mitchell (Texas), Randy Mitchell (Oklahoma), Gary Scott Christian (Oklahoma), Jeff Sloan (Missouri), and many more.
