With one final event left for the 2010 UMSS season, the battle for the GRP Motorsports Sweet Sixteen Bonus has really heated up. With the top three positions paying $1,500, $1,000 and $500 respectively, three drivers are locked in a tight battle for the money to be awarded at the UMSS banquet in January. Brad Barickman, Jerry Richert Jr, and current UMSS point leader Cody Hahn will contend for the top three spots during the final UMSS race of the season on Saturday October 2 at the Ogilvie Raceway. The bonus is determined by using each drivers' best 16 point shows during the 2010 UMSS season. Heading into the final race, Brad Barickman holds a slim point lead over Jerry Richert Jr. and Cody Hahn. The current standings are indicated below.
GRP Motorsports Sweet Sixteen Bonus Standings Through Sept 26:
1. Brad Barickman #34, Richfield MN (Top 16 shows).......3,715 points
2. Jerry Richert Jr. #63, Forest Lake MN (Top 16 shows)..3,696 points
3. Cody Hahn #23, Minneapolis MN (Top 16 shows).........3,677 points
Summary of each drivers' Top 16 Shows:

3,677 points
Note: Hahn has raced in 18 events during the season while Barickman and Richert have competed in 17 shows so far. Hahn's two throw out shows so far have been 211 and 205 points. Barickman has thrown out a 190 point score while Richert has discarded a 150 point show. If any of the top three contenders score more points in the final race of the season at Ogilvie, they will be able to replace the bottom score shown above. In order, that would be a 205 point score for Barickman, a 184 point score for Richert, and a 217 point score for Hahn. The maximum score possible for winning a feature race is 250 points while the minimum score for showing up and at least attempting to race is 150 points. There would be numerous scenarios that could play out, but in order for Richert to move to the top spot, Jerry would have to have a net gain of 20 points over Barickman. Cody Hahn would have to gain 39 points on Barickman and 20 points on Richert. Stay tuned for the final chapter during the final event of the 2010 UMSS season at Ogilvie on Saturday October 2.

In order for Erickson to overtake Goerges in the rookie battle, Ronnie will need to score 79 points or more than Goerges does during the final race. The maximum point score for winning the feature is 250 with a minimum of 150 points should the driver not make the A Main.

Sprint car fans, come on out to the Ogilvie Raceway this Saturday and see Cody Hahn earn the championship title! The GRP Motorsports Sweet Sixteen Bonus Award will likely come down to a close battle for the top spot between Brad Barickman and Jerry Richert Jr. Assuming all three drivers are on hand, Hahn could move up to the second place spot but he would not have a shot at the top spot. The GRP Motorsports/BP Trading Company UMSS Rookie of the Year battle will also come down to the final event this Saturday. Ronnie Erickson has an uphill battle facing him, but he still has a shot to overtake Jared Goerges for top rookie honors this season. Racing action is slated to get underway at 5:30 pm with hotlaps. Ogilvie will also be running their weekly super stock, midwest mod, mod 4 and hornet classes with the UMSS sprint cars.
