The O'Reilly MLRA 2005 Thunder Tour is beginning to wind down and next on tap the traveling road show makes the trip into Kansas and the lightning quick Salina Speedway.
Kansas native Al Purkey heads the list of contenders as he finds his name at the top of the 2005 Thunder Tour Championship points standings. Purkey heads into Salina looking to put a strangle hold on his fourth O'Reilly MLRA championship, but a whole host of drivers are nipping at his heels looking to keep him from accomplishing the feat. Purkey sits atop of the O'Reilly MLRA heap with 1478 points.
Belton, MO's Alan Vaughn, the only four time O'Reilly MLRA champion, looks to continue a strong run to the finish after taking the August 20th win at Midway Speedway in Lebanon, MO. Vaughn finds himself sitting in the bridesmaids position trailing Purkey by 206 points at 1272 points.
David Turner rides into Salina with one 2005 Thunder Tour win to his credit, but a string of consistent finishes have kept the Creighton, MO pilot in the hunt for his first O'Reilly MLRA title. Turner comes into Salina sitting in the third position only 96 points out of second at 1186 points.
Jason Bodenhamer and CJ Lyle round out the top five in the standings with 1170 and 1114 points respectively and looking to improve their positions. Brett LaFollette, David Barker, Shane Essary, Bryon Allison, and Gary Billings Jr. complete the top ten positions.
Action kicks off at Salina Speedway on Saturday, September 3, with the O'Reilly MLRA joining the Modifieds, IMCA Hobby Stocks, and Super Stocks for a night of thunder in the Kansas plains. For more information about Salina Speedway visit them at www.salinaspeedway.com.
