Both drivers have picked up one feature victory on the 2012 race season, Davis' coming at Humboldt Speedway in Humboldt, Kansas back in the third race of the season while Hurd's victory came in the tours first ever visit at Elk City Speedway in Elk City, Oklahoma back in August.
Josh Lanterman and Dan Powers sit third and fourth respectively in the point standings while leading rookie contender Jon Thompson sits fifth in the point standings. While he has no feature wins to his credit, Lanterman has shown consistent finishes throughout the ten events that have been completed while Powers finally claimed his first career tour victory, this coming at the most recent event held at the Belleville High Banks Speedway in Belleville, Kansas.
Just as he does in the rookie standings, Dustin Belcher sits just behind Thompson and in sixth place in the standings while Don Hodge, Justin Moler, A.J. Brochu and Kirk Coleman round out the top ten.
