Wright, Hauser Top Power Rankings

POWER RANKINGS 1. Tyler Wright 2. Tom Hauser 3. Doug Laughlin 4. Jackson McHale 5. Dennis Brown 6. Brandon Penny 7. Sage Karam 8. Ed Paugh 9. Dave Smith 10. Bobby Decker Jr. Season 6 has been incredible thus far.  Series veteran Tyler Wright and rookie Tom Hauser have been engaged in a fierce battle for the Regular Season Points Championship.  Wright and Hauser have scored 2 wins each, with Hauser scoring 7 stage wins to Wright's 1.  However, Wright has been very consistent this season, having only finished outside the Top 10 once. The pair have also become heated rivals on the track.  On several occasions, the pair have sparred on the track and on the headset, but don't let that fool you...  there's nothing but respect between the two. Wright said of Hauser, "I knew he was a good driver, he made a lot of noise in Xfinity last season, winning a bunch of races and the series championship.  When Sage Karam is recruiting someone to the Cup Series, you just kno...

Dennis Brown Wins Kentucky and Kansas Back-To-Back

Image
Prior to Monday's 1.5 mile Tri-Oval Twin races, Dennis Brown (GT: BrownIsTheNewBlack) had never won a Thrustmaster Pro Series Cup race.  It took 5 and a half season, 173 races, for Brown to finally land in Winners Circle. Brown dominated Kansas for his first career win and then ran strong at Kentucky for career win #2. "It's been a long time coming, I actually thought about retiring" laughed Brown as he was swamped with congratulations by fellow drivers over his headset.  "I've always ran well at these 2 tracks and figured they would be my best shots to win so I put in a lot of practice the past week...  these new setup rules aren't easy to work with but they definitely make for good racing". Brown, who has been in every playoffs every one of his 6 seasons (minus the shorted Season 5) stamped his invitation to this year's playoffs.
