This will be the 11th chapter of the 2019 season for the Patriot Sprint Tour and it has been led by Wantage New Jersey’s, Davie Franek. Franek has four wins on the tour and has not finished worse than 10th all season in all 11 PST starts. Joe Trenca has maintained consistency and rides second in points. Jordan Thomas has been on the podium on several different occasions in the month of July and will be looking for his first win come Friday night.
