For Bullring points leaders like Chris Clyne, the sixth racing weekend of the year at The Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway proved to be a great time to add to their divisional points leads.
Clyne's seventh NASCAR Super Late Models victory in nine races helped him add 13 points to his margin over six-time track champion Scott Gafforini - who was caught up in an early race crash - and seven other points leaders also added to their advantages on Saturday night. Doug Hamm (NASCAR 602 Modifieds), Vinny Raucci Jr. (NASCAR Bombers), Sam Jacks (NASCAR Super Stocks), Jaron Giannini (USLCI Legends), Jaden Walbridge (Jr. Late Models) and Chloe Lynch (USLCI Bandolero Outlaws) all widened the gap separating them from second place.
Dennis Dowell used a fourth-place finish to replace Scott Stockwell atop the Skid Plate Cars division, and Sabastian Lafia (USLCI Bandolero Bandits) and Chris Bosley (Thunder Cars) saw their leads shrink by three points over the weekend. Dowell now leads Stockwell by three points heading into the final five race weekends of the 2019 season, while the nine other divisional points leaders hold double-digit margins over their peers.
Racing returns to the 3/8-mile paved oval for the Chris Trickle Classic on June 15, with a pair of 35-lap NASCAR Super Late Model features bookending the racing schedule. That will be followed by the highly popular Night of Fire on Wednesday, July 3, the track's last event before a seven-week break to avoid the summer swelter.
Spectators can purchase tickets by calling 800-644-4444 or going online at LVMS.com, and all children 12 and under are admitted free with a ticketed adult. The Bullring concession stand offers great prices, including $2 hot dogs and Coca-Cola products and $3 Budweiser beers.
