However, Riley Herbst is not far away with 98 points, and with Michael Annett just five points adrift.

At the same time, he is just one point ahead of Tommy Joe Martins. Meanwhile, Joe Graf Jr sits three points adrift of Martins and tied with Josh Williams. On a side note, Noah Gragson’s nightmare season continues, as he is languishing down in 19th place on 81 points.

Gragson has been supremely unlucky this season, having crashed out from top positions on many occasions. At the Phoenix Raceway, it happened again, and now he will be desperate for a good finish.
