From a press release issued by F-USA:

SIX NATIONALS – SIX WINNERS

Clear Channel Motor Sports, Fort Worth, TX — The K&N Filters Pro Series is going strong with six different winners after six national events. Defending National Dirt Track Champion Terry Poovey predicted early this year this would be the most competitive ever.

The title chase moves to the ultra-fast Sacramento Mile on Saturday, September 13th. Every rider knows it takes horsepower and a bike that can transfer horsepower to the ground. Many of the Sacramento events have been won on the last lap with a good drive out of turn four down the long straight to the finish.

Current point leader Bryan Smith riding the 1stlegal/Team Honda won the Rochester, NY Half-Mile National back in June and has been the most consistent rider each week. Smith finished seventh at Beaver Dam, WI on his American Honda CRF450R and added to his point lead. “I feel good about that (increasing point lead), and I’m glad that I’m healthy. I’m still learning these groove tracks, but from here we go to Sacramento – where I usually do pretty well – and then Del Mar”.

With rookie sensation Rob Pearson’s win, Durelle’s runner-up placing and Poovey’s DNF in Beaver Dam the point standings were significantly shuffled. Smith currently enjoys a 54-point lead over Durelle, who has a two-point lead over Poovey, who is two ahead of Pearson, who is two ahead of McCoy. Despite his DNF, Poovey refused to concede the championship chase just yet. “We’ve got three rounds left, and anything can happen.”
