MONROE – With four races to go, Shane Harding is closing in on winning his first Super Stocks points title and coming out on top in a spirited rivalry with Jason Fraser.

Harding, from Langley, British Columbia, will try to move one step closer when the Super Stocks headline a seven-division card at Evergreen Speedway tonight.

Harding won for the seventh time last week and now leads Fraser by 16 points. Fraser still has no wins this season but is the only driver to finish in the top 10 in all 13 races this year. Gaylon Stewart is third in the points race.
