TULSA, Okla. (July 14, 2003) - In search of a second straight series championship, Kelly Angelette of Thibodaux, LA, leads the way into this Friday night's American Sprint Car Series Gulf South Region event at Leesville 171 Speedway in Leesville, LA.

ASCS Gulf South Rookie contenders Sam Hafertepe, Jr., and Brandon Berryman are currently ranked third and fourth, respectively. Seventeen year-old Hafertepe, from Sunnyvale, TX, is just 24 points out of the lead, while Berryman, hailing from Missouri City, TX, is 52 points back in fourth.
Another rookie contender, Cody Pearson of Sulphur, LA, is putting together a solid season as well, currently ranked fifth in points. Completing the current top ten entering this Friday night's action are Tina Creswell, Todd Johnson, Stephen Chevallier, David Forbis and Harry Yerrington.
