Gene Weaver of Amarillo, Texas won the season opener at the track back in March and comes into the event as the series points leader. Moore, Oklahoma's Alan Oliva currently sits second in the point standings, 145 points out of first place while Davis, Oklahoma's Travis Penrod sits third in the point standings. Cam Case of Edmond sits fourth with Quail, Texas driver Logan Cabbell rounding out the top five.

The average car count for each show 41 cars per event. The series opener at Elk City had forty cars on hand when Weaver opened the new division with the victory.

Then at the series last event in mid-June, Chad Wheeler of Muskogee beat a field of 42 strong to take home his second career NCRA victory. Over forty drivers from three states are expected for this event for the first track that had committed to the new Oklahoma series in 2009. With the racing surface at its best the past three weekends for weekly shows, a competitive night not only on the track but for series points is expected.
