The leading lady of the ASCS Gulf South Region, Tina Creswell of New Braunfels, TX, is ranked sixth entering the Battleground event, with Cody Pearson, Stephen Chevallier, Chris Sweeney and David Forbis completing the current top ten.
Close to 30 cars are expected for Saturday night's ASCS Gulf South Region debut at Battleground Speedway, which is slated to get under way at 8:00 p.m.
