PRE-FOXBOROUGH ROUNDUP

Ryan Dungey has just about a two race lead going into Foxborough. He is 48 points ahead of Ken Roczen with three races to go. With only 75 points up for grabs, if Ken wins the final three races and Dungey finished 12th the next three races, Ken and Ryan would be tied for points after the final round in Vegas (and the time breaker would go to Dungey based on his 8 wins). If Dungey wins in Boston, the Fat lady will have sung for Roczen.

Six races into the 250 East season and we are on the edge of our seats. The wild card, Aaron Plessinger has came on strong the last few races and is putting pressure on points leader Malcolm Stewart, who is leading by only one point. While Jeremy Martin has the most wins, he sits third in points due to a DNF in Indy. Since Martin Davalos was unable to race Toronto due to Visa issues, he seems to have lost his touch.
