Oklahoma City native Wayne Johnson could come to State Fair Speedway on July 20 leading the American Sprint Car Series national point standings.

Johnson took the lead from Hooks, Texas, driver Gary Wright on Wednesday night at Double X Speedway in California, Mo. Johnson finished second but with Louisiana driver Jason Johnson's first place finish, Wayne Johnson moved to the top with 2,814 points.

Jason Johnson moved to second place, only one point ahead of Wright and 49 points behind Wayne Johnson.

•The ASCS National Tour's scheduled race for July 13 at Tri-State Speedway in Pocola has been canceled. According to ASCS officials, new management at the speedway has opted not to honor previous agreements with the racing series.

•Apparently, the only one who can stop Robert Sellers at Lawton Speedway is Robert Sellers. The mustang sprint car driver has won all seven of his championship feature races this summer. Eddy Middleton from Fletcher is the only other driver to win a feature at the Lawton track.

Sellers is third in champ sprint standings at State Fair Speedway and fourth in the super sprint division.

Sellers has won a feature race in both divisions, including this past Tuesday night, when Sellers edged Gary Flatt in the super sprint main event.

•Sprint driver Chris Burns has been overtaken in the super sprint standings. Danny Jennings finished third place in Tuesday night's feature race, one spot ahead of Burns, and has overtaken the defending the super sprint point champion for 20 points.

Burns, who still leads the champ sprint point standings, is defending his title in both divisions.

Last year, Burns became the only driver in the speedway's history to win two divisions in the same season.

Burns will have a chance at feature wins in both divisions tonight.
