McCLISH NEW WESTERN SPRINT FQ LEADER

Brian McClish of Santa Rosa, Calif. is the new leader in the Earl's Plumbing Fast Qualifier standings for the USAC Valvoline Western Sprint Car Series following weekend events in Boise, Idaho.

McClish was Friday night's fastest qualifier at Meridian Speedway and posted second-fastest time Saturday to move into the lead. He is joined this week as Earl's leaders by Bobby East, Michael Lewis, Damion Gardner, Alex Harris, Chase Scott and Matt Sherrell.

Tony Hunt (Boise Saturday), Gardner (Perris, Calif. CRA Sprints Saturday), Steve Paden (Bakersfield Western Midgets Saturday) and Jake Vail (Bakersfield Focuses Saturday) were the other Earl's FQ winners over the past week.

Earl's points will be up for grabs this week at Winchester, Ind. (National Sprints Sunday), Ventura, Calif. (Western and Focus Midgets Saturday), Tulsa, Okla. (Focus Midgets Saturday) and South Boston, Va. (Focus Midgets Saturday).

Points are traditionally awarded at each USAC event based on an international system awarding the top-six qualifiers with points in the following scale: 1st-9, 2nd-6, 3rd-4, 4th-3, 5th-2, 6th-1. When qualifying is not held, points are awarded based on a system of lineup points earned in the preliminary heats.

Each USAC National, Western and Ford Focus Midget Car Earl's Plumbing FQ Champion will be honored at USAC's Champions Night ceremony in Indianapolis. The National and Western FQ champs will receive $5,000 each, while the Ford Focus FQ champs will each receive $1,500.
