Those who thought that Shannon Thornsberry would run away with the points championship a few weeks ago might be biting their tongue now, as Chris Combs is coming and coming on strong. While Thornsberry still has a decent size points lead, this may come down to the wire with the way Combs has been running lately. Don't underestimate Thornsberry though, he's one of the toughest drivers out there and will do almost anything to capture the track championship, and who can blame him? Since Jarrod Breeding purchased 201 last fall, Shannon Thornsberry has been a regular each week at 201, and even before the Breeding's took over he was a local favorite at 201. He's nicknamed "Thunder" for a reason, so Combs is certainly going to have to take this one away from Thornsberry, because he isn't going to give it to him.
Grayson native Terry Hicks is also in reach of a track championship, even though he has yet to pick up a win at 201 this year. However, Hicks has played it smart all season, just laying back and letting it all unfold in front of him finishing consistently each week.
Should be an exciting last two weeks at 201 with the close points battle between some very talented drivers.
