This will be the conclusion of three consecutive weekends of racing and the third of the six-race 2025 Countdown.
Please check the driver entries and post your picks before Pro qualifying starts so you will be eligible for all event bonus points.

As always, I suggest you double-check to make sure all of your driver picks are racing. There are no new names competing at this event, but there have also been some no-shows at recent race events of the season. If your posted driver skips the event and you do not select a replacement prior to the start of eliminations, I will use your posted driver from the most recent completed event. Unfortunately, any replacement driver after the start of qualifying will not be eligible for any event bonus points.

The current weekend weather forecast shows:
* Friday currently shows sunny with a temperature of about 78F at the start of Q1. Temps will probably be in low 70s when Q2 kicks off at the scheduled start time of 9:00pm EDT (6:00pm PDT).
