Joe Hudson #3 currently leads the 2015 points with 2014 Sunoco rookie of the year Jason Furrow #21 in second and #18 Brad Edwards in third. Look for some strong competition from #59 Shelby Reuse coming off a 3rd place finish April 25th , Larry Speakman who has struggled starting off 2015 but the seasoned driver knows what it takes to put the #91 in victory lane. Newcomer Travis Cleckler #5 from Clanton Alabama looks to improve his finishes in this 50 lap event as the class sees new competitors every time they race.
