Latest points update after Dirt Oval 66
Keep up with the chase for the 2024 World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car championship.
LATEST RACES: Dirt Oval 66 (Oct. 18-19).
CURRENT POINTS LEADER: The pressure was on David Gravel heading to Dirt Oval 66 after Carson Macedo took a chunk out of his lead the week before, and Gravel stepped up to the challenge. A runner-up on Friday before a third on Saturday allowed Gravel and the Big Game Motorsports team to pad their lead with five races to go in 2024.
CLOSING THE GAP:
Giovanni Scelzi (5th): After a rough visit to Pennsylvania, Giovanni Scelzi and KCP Racing rebounded with a solid Illinois weekend. Finishes of seventh and sixth chopped the gap between himself and Michael “Buddy” Kofoid for fourth from 102 points down to 82.
Sheldon Haudenschild (6th): Back-to-back top five finishes defined a strong trip to the “Land of Lincoln” for Sheldon Haudenschild. A fifth-place result preceded a runner-up in the finale, and now the Stenhouse Jr.-Marshall Racing/NOS Energy Drink No. 17 sits within 46 points of a spot in the top five.
