Reigning NASCAR Super Late Models track champion Justin Johnson is the new points leader at The Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway's after posting a pair of top-three finishes at the Chris Trickle Classic on Saturday night.

Johnson finished third and second, respectively, in the evening's bookend 35-lap features to catapult to the top spot ahead of Peyton Saxton and leads Saxton 167-164 heading into the track's wildly popular Night of Fire on Monday, July 3. Johnson, a 51-time race winner at the 3/8-mile paved oval, earned 44 points in the races to unseat 20-time winner Saxton from the No. 1 position.

Doug Hamm's victory in the NASCAR Grand American Modifieds race moved him into a first-place tie with Aaron McMorran atop that division with 91 points, and McMorran saw his lead in the NASCAR Bombers class shrink to a single point over Sam Jacks after his car failed post-race tech inspection. McMorran crossed the line first ahead of Jacks in the night's Bombers race, but the disqualification leaves him with a precarious 158-157 advantage after seven weekends of racing.

Court Connell (NASCAR Super Stocks), Tyler Fabozzi (USLCI Legends), Ron Reed (USLCI Thunder Cars) and Camden Larsen (USLCI Bandolero Outlaws) each used Saturday night wins to widen their divisional leads, while Braden Connor maintained his USLCI Bandolero Bandits points lead after his second win of the season.

The track's Skid Plate Cars did not compete on Saturday, so Robert Smotherman's three-point lead over James Brazzeal will carry over to July 3. Drivers will earn points in the nine Bullring divisions through Championship Night on Oct. 7.
