The Auto Max Bracket Series is no exception. Event winners last weekend and a brief points by category update is always fun to do\u2026.<\/p>\n<p>In <strong>Super Pro<\/strong> Puyallup\u2019s <strong>Mark Cavar<\/strong> has been dominant for the majority of the season, further extending his points lead with a win last Saturday night. Although looking at the points going into Saturday\u2019s action first and second place are separated by a mere 18 points! With this win Mark put a bit more distance between himself and AL Chinn who sits in second place.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pro Bracket<\/strong> is even more tightly bunched at the top of the points standings with the top five drivers separated by 35 points prior to Saturday\u2019s action.<strong> A single point<\/strong> separates Brad Craig from Dustin Martin who won the double header the previous weekend to vault into contention and the championship aspirations that go with it. Former track and Division Champion <strong>Kenny \u201cO Light\u201d O\u2019Keefe <\/strong>won the category last Saturday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sportsman <\/strong>action saw <strong>Jerry Durant Jr.<\/strong> from Oregon City, OR play the roll of spoiler in his 2005 Dodge Ram truck with a win! While the points in Sportsman seem to be a six driver battle with future Division Six \u201cHall of Famer\u201d Don \u201cthe Worm\u201d Elgin leading the chase that features the top six drivers separated by 70 points going into Saturdays event!<\/p>\n<p>Points in the<strong> Motorcycle <\/strong>division are even more entertaining as Jacob Havens and points leader \u201cMighty Joe\u201d Lind were separated by only 30 points leading into Saturday\u2019s action. But the win by <strong>Mark Sires<\/strong> was important as it at least for the moment propelled him into contention for a possible entry into the all important <strong>Summit Race Of Champions<\/strong> at this years<strong> Summit E.T.
