MOPAR'S "2013 Tom Hoover Sportsman Challenger" award update.... (10/8/13)

Here's my unofficial update on who still has a good chance to get the trophy, winner's jacket, and the $4,260 check!

#1) Kevin Helms' runner-up in Dallas improved his SS points to 537.

#2) I ended the year with a points total to 533..... (done earning - no chance - winner gets all! )

#3) Austin Williams is in third with 529 points but has two 30 point races to improve on at the last two LODRS races and a 30 and 94 to improve on at two of the last three nationals.... appears to be the odds on favorite!

#4) Craig Marshall's late season charge leaves him at 461 points (491 if he shows up at Reynolds). Craig can still get a full 105 points at Reynolds this week (gets 30 more for showing up- only his 5th LODRS race). Then he can improve on a 50 at the remaiming Vegas LODRS meet. He can also improve on a 50 at his last national he choses to go to (but it will be way out west!).

#5) Ken Etter still has a good chance to make a run with 2 nationals and 2 points meets left. (He has 456 points currently, and has a 40, and 41 to improve on at his points meets). He can also improve on a 62, and 73 at his last two nationals... Ken is right in the mix!

If I missed anybody... please let me know.

ALSO.... another shout out to MOPAR for offering this special award and cash!
THANK YOU MOPAR!!!!!

PS... Dale Aldo from Mopar told me that he will be fighting to not only bring this award back next year, but to add a second place award!. Next year is the 50th anniversary o fteh HEMI!
