California Sprint Car & Midget Power Poll for May 1, 2012
ELK GROVE, CALIFORNIA (May 1, 2012) -The second edition of the
StevenBlakesley.com California Sprint Car & Midget Power Poll has
been published and the top-three in the order have remained unchanged.
Thanks to a King of
the West win at Placerville Speedway, KWS points leader Tim Kaeding
leads the Power Poll. Kaeding was #1 among the media panel and ranked
2nd in the statistical analysis. Bud Kaeding, with five wins this
season including Saturday night at the Tulare Thunderbowl in the Rebel
Cup, remains second in the standings.
Despite a tenth place
finish at Perris in the USAC/CRA on Saturday, Hollister's Ryan Bernal
has maintained the respect of the media by holding third in the poll.
One ballot said that Bernal "simply wins in anything he jumps in".
Jon Allard was the
biggest mover in the poll by leaping up to fifth despite still failing
to rank in the top-20 of our statistical analysis. Brent Kaeding makes
his first appearance on the poll at #9 while Rico Abreu narrowly missed
the top-10 after his win at Chico on Friday night.
