SMACKDOWN IX POINTS ENTERING SATURDAY’S FINAL NIGHT
Kokomo, Indiana (August 29, 2020)………Kyle Cummins, winner of the first two nights of Smackdown IX at Kokomo (Ind.) Speedway, leads the Smackdown standings entering Saturday’s event finale at the quarter-mile dirt oval on August 29.
Points are accumulated throughout qualifying, the prelim events and the feature. Drivers who are in the top-8 of the standings following Friday’s second round of Smackdown IX will clinch an automatic starting spot in Saturday’s $11,000-to-win feature event.
Cummins is at the head of the class in terms of points after the first two nights of Smackdown IX, and is one of eight drivers locked into Saturday night’s 40-lap feature event along with Brady Bacon, Buddy Kofoid, Thomas Meseraull, Tyler Courtney, Chase Stockon, Chris Windom and C.J. Leary.
Those same eight drivers will participate in the B & W Auto Mart “King of the Hill” on Saturday night at Kokomo, which pits eight total cars in a tournament, bracket style format. Two cars will face off against each other at a time for three laps, carving the field down to the final two drivers who’ll duke it out for a chance to win the pole position for Saturday’s A-Main and a check for $418.29 from B & W for their efforts.
The remaining seven cars will slot in the remaining seven starting positions in the first four rows of Saturday’s feature based on how far they advanced in “King of the Hill.”
All drivers ninth in points and below had their best individual point night of each of the two previous nights of racing count as their official point total. These drivers will compete in Saturday’s Qualifying Race events and will have to transfer their way into the feature.
On Saturday night, front and pit gates open at 3pm ET, drivers meeting at 5:30pm and cars on track at 6pm. BOSS Sprint Cars join the event card for the Saturday night program.
Adult general admission tickets are $35 on Saturday with children age 12 and under free in general admission seats only. Pit passes are $45. Spectator tickets available at the gate. Pit passes are available at www.usactickets.com.
