Junior Animal has been a fun race to watch every weekend! While 1st place seems to always be a decided, 2nd and back is always a guessing game!
Your leader in points, by 42 points, is Axel. With FOUR 1st place finishes, its going to be hard to defeat him the rest of the year! But thats the only sure thing in the Junior Animal class. Garrett holds his second place position, but his lead diminished to just 3 points this week. And that means the tie for 3rd place has offiically been broken, with Cara Madison Racing getting herself a 6 point lead over Niko. But 6 points in this series is not hard to overcome. So while Niko sits in 4th, a solid finish could bump him right back to 3rd! Remember I said 6 points isn't much? WELL, just ask Chase who closed a 12 point gap from Niko to only 3 points with 1 solid race day! While he has sat in 5th place the whole season, the points are now so close its anyones game.
Think about this, it means 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th, are only 12 points apart. Nobody is safe (except Axel... for now). Hanging out in 6th is MJ needing to close a 36 point gap to get into the top 5. The last of our full time animal drivers is Hayden. He missed the first 2 races of the year, but came out swinging this past weekend with a 2nd place finish helping him close up the gap. What once was a 75 point deficit to MJ, has closed to 50 points.
5 races to go and just 12 points separate 4 cars. It will be one of the funnest races to the end to watch! Come on down and enjoy the action!
