Last years National Champion, Colorado’s Jake Bubak will lead the Rebels into the weekend with a slim 2 point lead over Jetmore KS’s Zach Blurton and Liberal KS native Steven Richardson only another 2 points behind Blurton. With only 4 points separating the top three this weekend will prove crucial in deciding this years Kansas Champion. Both Blurton and Bubak have scored wins previously at DCRP and Richardson is coming off his last win in Hays Kansas two weeks ago. Zac Taylor, who is setting 4th in points, will also be making his appearance as he comes in as the previous winner at DCRP in the season opener earlier this year.

Sunday the rebels will head northwest to the lightning fast high bank 3/8 oval of Thomas County Speedway in Colby Kansas. This will be the only stop this season for the URSS in Colby and will likely be a battle of the borders with many Colorado region cars planning on attending along with the Kansas regulars and several from Nebraska.
Last years winner, Colorado veteran Mark Walinder, will be on hand to try and defend his turf along with point leader Jake Bubak, Zach Blurton, Steven Richardson and Zac Taylor just to mention a few. Racing action begins at 7pm.
