LATEST RACES: Big Sky Speedway (Aug. 23-24)

CURRENT POINTS LEADER: One win and two podiums over the weekend was just what the doctor ordered for Seth Bergman to regain the upper hand in the championship chase. Finishing behind Sam Hafertepe Jr. in six-straight full-points events leading into Big Sky cut Bergman’s lead by more than 100 points over that span, but his advantage now sits at 103 markers entering Electric City Speedway this weekend.

MOVERS

Zach Blurton (+1): Blurton didn’t get his weekend started on a high note by finishing 21st on Friday night, but he came out swinging on Saturday and finished a season-best second behind Jake Bubak. His second podium in three races further cemented Blurton as a breakout star on the National Tour and moved him into seventh in the standings.

Jason Martin (-1): The No. 36 team started the weekend one spot short of their second podium of the year in fourth, and a front row starting spot on Saturday gave them a chance at another strong performance. It was not in the cards though, as Martin took a tumble early in the race and was credited with 23rd, dropping him one spot to eighth in the points table.
