| Sheldon Haudenschild won both ASCoC events over the weekend |
Sorry to be a day late with these rankings. Maybe you've come accustomed to looking for these on Wednesdays, and you're whole week was thrown off by waiting an extra day to see the National Top 25 poll. Just chalk it up to the holiday weekend, I suppose. Worse things have happened.
For the 2nd straight week, Sheldon Haudenschild was the driver that our voters had to keep an eye on. Fresh off an All Star win last weekend, Lil' Haud swept the tour's doubleheader at Attica Raceway Park and Wayne County Speedway. The Wooster, OH native has taken a leap up into the Top 10 for the first time in nearly two months.
David Gravel was also 2-for-2 in his weekend endeavors. The Watertown, CT driver won both events at Skagit Speedway, which proved to be enough to regain him the second spot in our rankings. Gravel also snatched one of the first-place votes away from season-long poll leader Donny Schatz for the first time in months.
Improving a ranking's best 7 spots this week is none other than Kerry Madsen. The Aussie native piloted the Matt Wood Racing no. 17W for the second consecutive week, and it didn't take long for the duo to find success. After finishing an average 8th on the first night of the Jackson Nationals, Madsen drove to the front to claim the $25,000 winner's check in the finale.
