I didn't check that out, but it doesn't matter now anyway since Marlene lost in rnd 2, and Ted in rnd 3. They had so much ground to make up to catch Stan anyway, that it would've been a tall order for them to do it anyhow.

Bottom line for me (unless someone corrects me), is Stan has the highest finish of a fwd stocker racer so far this century (if not ever), and he's the first top ten finisher in D5 (ever), and in any division this century(?). Great job by a great guy!

Now we just need to get the other firsts accomplished, and Stan is looking the best thus far to reach those goals:

1. First National event winner (NHRA/IHRA too?) this century.

2. First Divisional event winner this century (NHRA).

3. First Divisional stock points champ (regardless of division).

4. First National Stock points champ.

5. First muti- national/divisional event winner.

6. First Chevy fwd to win any of those races.
