FINAL COUNTDOWN POSITIONS ARE UP FOR GRABS

Brainerd MN, It promises to be a wild shoot-out in Pro Stock Motorcycle as there could be a lot of shuffling among the final five positions. Realistically, 11th place Shawn Gann and 12th place Jim Underdahl would need a couple of DNQs among the five drivers ahead of them in the standings to have a chance at making the top 10.  Eddie Krawiec, rookie LE Tonglet, David Hope, Denver runner-up Karen Stoffer and veteran rider Craig Treble are the riders that currently hold down positions 5-10. Gann trails Treble by 57 points, while Underdahl is 89 back of Treble.
