Jonesville, MI - The Pavement Modifieds Power Rankings Presented by Howe Racing Enterprises featured local racing at Corrigan Oil Speedway on Friday night, and the debut of the Michigan Modified Series at Berlin Raceway on Saturday afternoon.
Ricky LaDuke's performance on Saturday earned him four bonus points from the panel members. In his first EVER trip to Berlin and just his second modified start, LaDuke put on a clinic to grab his first career modified win.
How it works: Drivers who finish inside the top five that night will receive base points. 10 points for 1st, 6 points for 5th. This will be true for every race held that week/weekend in that division. Then, the "experts" will examine the results and see if anyone may have earned any bonus points based on their performance. If they did, the panel member can throw them two bonus points for the week.
Note: For events with less than a 10-car feature, five points are DEDUCTED for a strength-of-field correction.
