Darren Hagen of Riverside, Calif. has sprinted to a 30-point lead over Tracy Hines of New Castle, Ind. in the latest USAC National Drivers Championship standings as a result of events held last week.


Hagen won the Mopar National Midget race at Plymouth, Ind. Friday and finished fourth at Sun Prairie, Wis. In Sunday night’s Mopar National Midget race. Hines was third in both races.
