Early Season Point Leaders at the Bullring

With three races in the books, the 2016 racing season at Tyler County Speedway looks to be one of the most competitive in the tracks 42 year history. Kyle Thomas of Pennsboro has not secured a win yet but has been knocking on the door each time out with a 2nd, 3rd and 5th place run. So far the driver of the 57 machine sits alone at the top in the point standings seeking his first Tyler County Speedway Super Late Model track championship.

Moving from the FASTRAK division to the Two Brothers Motorsports AMRA Modified division Salem, WV’s Shawn Jett aboard the Crusader Fabrication/ Slicks Auto Detail and Carwash 1J leads in the highly competitive open wheel modified class ahead of Jacob Hawkins and perennial winner Bird Wilson.

The “Mad Mexican” Troy Frazier of Clarksburg, WV currently leads the ultra-talented FASTRAK Late Model division at the ‘Bullring’. A star studded FASTRAK field has been the early season story as perennial top running crate late model runners including Mike Pegher, Aaron Barley, Gary Dalton, Henry Hornsby III, Ryan Montgomery, Shane Greco among the many tough ‘Bullring’ regulars have made for great racing so far.

Quite a battle is shaping up in the Gear 2 Graphics EDGE Hotmod division presented by Poske’s Performance Parts as defending Hotmod track champion Travis Thomas has went 3 for 3 so far in 2016 in his bid to repeat. However, Middlebourne’s Mick Baker has went 2 for 3 with his other run a 2nd place leaving the two veterans with a scant point separating the duo. With car counts into the 30’s the EDGE Hotmod division has been running two features a night giving all participants feature laps in the ever growing division.

Six points separate the top four racers in the Chris Metz State Farm Insurance Modlite division presented by Cedar Run Farms. Daniel Eddy of Pennsboro, WV aboard the 99e Eliminator/ Rush Construction/ Walton Electric and Supply heads up the early season point standings ahead of a host of young racers including Zack Kimbrew, Josh Baldwin and Ryan Saffell.
