The season’s only stop at both Texas ovals, the 2017 points battle rolls into the weekend with Oklahoma’s Alex Sewell atop the series standings with a 72 point advantage over his cousin, Jared Sewell. Giving way to another family battle, Kade Morton holds third with bother Chance Morton trailing in fourth. Fred Mattox is currently fifth.
