California Sprint & Midget Power Poll for July 24, 2012
View full poll results at: http://www.stevenblakesley.com/news/7.24-sprintcarpoll.html
Stephen Allard has been the hottest
driver in the state of California, at least according to our media panel
on the California Sprint & Midget Power Poll. After just recently
cracking the top-ten, Allard used a string of success at Placerville to
leap-frog to #1 on our charts for the first time. Allard won the
feature at Placerville Speedway last Saturday night, which included
Tommy Tarlton and Andy Forsberg.
Mike Spencer's
inactivity with a lack of USAC/CRA races in July dropped him from the
top spot. Ryan Bernal maintained fourth despite a light schedule
recently as well. Tommy Tarlton has finally made his way into the
top-ten thanks to back-to-back Johnny Key Classic qualifier wins at
Ocean Speedway.
Also new to the list
is Billy Wallace, who has quietly won five of his 11 starts this year to
now rank 9th overall. Wallace topped a strong 18 car field at
Marysville on Saturday night over 10th place in the poll Colby Wiesz.
