The lead has changed hands in TWO Lucas Oil Classes!Nouveau9 min

The points lead has changed hands in TWO categories — and with Dallas up next, things are about to get even more interesting.

Jordan Pratt’s pressure-packed Super Gas win in St. Louis vaulted him to the top of the standings with 624 points, ending Nathan Vrooman’s run atop the leaderboard. Pratt controls his own destiny, but with Tim Powell, Phil Unruh, Bo Butner, Kris Whitfield and others still in the hunt, this one is far from settled.

Meanwhile, JB Strassweg took over the Top Dragster lead with a win of his own in St. Louis. He’s got points left to earn and a strong position heading into Dallas — but J.R. Baxter, Holden Laris, Kevin Robb and Ty Gaynor still have paths to make things interesting.

In this Nerd Out update, Luke breaks down:

Dallas should give us a whole lot more clarity.
