After two rounds of the Lebanon Midway Speedway championship chase the points battles are tight, and from an early forecast the weather might just cooperate for Round 3 on Friday.

In the Out-Pace USRA B-Mods, it's a dead heat between defending Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series National Champion Kris Jackson and defending Track Champion Sam Petty, each with a win and third-place finish.

Petty will get the chance to come from the back after winning last Friday night.

The battle for third is also tight as second-year B-Mod driver Mitchell Franklin has showm some muscle and sits just ahead of Tyler Knudtson.

Arkansas hard charger Kelly Hicks completes a tough top five with some good young talent behind.

Gates open at 5 p.m. with hot laps at 7, draw cut-off at 7:30 and racing action at 8 this Friday, April 19.

Adult grandstand admission is only $12 with discounts for seniors and members of the military. Adult pit passes are $30.

Racing also includes Street Stocks, Kidz Cruisers, Midwest Modifieds, Hornets and Pure Stocks.
