The hobby stocks continue to offer some of the closest racing the speedway has to offer. Brian Compton leads the point battle. Compton has one win this year and holds an 11-point edge over Todd Cooper. Paradise driver David Pierce is a consistent competitor and sits third. Brian Cooper has won four of the main events ran this season however a mechanical issue didn�t allow him to start the previous main event.
