Hermantown, Minn. resident Darrell Nelson is leading the way in his AMSOIL backed Modified.  Nelson has just a four-point lead over the second place driver.  Nelson has been one of the top area drivers this season.  He recently won the modified feature at Proctor Speedway (Minn.), his sixth feature win of the season, and claimed the track championship in the process. Nelson is also eighth in the Super Late Model standings. Another AMSOIL sponsored racer, Craig Thatcher currently sits in eighth place with only three races left on the schedule.
