No driver has been hotter at The Bullring than Aaron McMorran this season, and the Las Vegas driver leads two divisions after three weekends of racing at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway short track.
McMorran, the 2015 NASCAR Bombers track champion, won Bombers and NASCAR Grand American Modifieds races on Saturday night and stands atop both divisions' points standings heading into Gaming Industry Night on May 6. The 20-time Bullring race winner leads Ivins, Utah, police officer Nick Nuccitelli 109-80 in the NASCAR Bombers standings and holds a 48-46 advantage over Doug Hamm in the NASCAR Grand American Modifieds division.
McMorran won The Bullring's Modifieds track championship in 2006 and is looking to make history by becoming the first driver to win two division titles in the same year since the track was re-designed in 2000. He stands 20th on the 3/8-mile paved oval's all-time wins list.
Saturday night victories by Ron Reed (USLCI Thunder Cars) and James Brazzeal (Skid Plate Cars) moved them atop their class' respective standings - Brazzeal is tied with Robert Smotherman - while Tyler Fabozzi (USLCI Legends), Camden Larsen (USLCI Bandolero Outlaws) and Braden Connor (USLCI Bandolero Bandits) maintained their No. 1 rankings. The NASCAR Super Late Models and Super Stocks did not run on Saturday, so those class' points did not change.
Drivers will earn points through Championship Night on Oct. 7, when the track champions will be crowned. More information about points distributions is available in the 2017 Bullring Rule Book.
One of the most affordable entertainment options in Las Vegas, the Bullring features family friendly concession prices that include $2 hot dogs and Coca-Cola products and $3 Budweiser beer.
