for the most ever in the class.
The day's second-, third- and
fourth-place positions fell to
the riders who hold those same
positions in the championship
standings: JPG Motorsports'
Chase Saathoff, Estenson Rac-
ing's Tom Drane, and Turner
Racing
Honda's Trent Lowe.
The race wasn't quite as pre-
dictable as that quick summary
suggests, however,
and that's
primarily thanks to J&H Racing's
Justin Jones.
The New Yorker—who won
a race and finished third in the
points in 2015 but hasn't ranked
higher than 19th in limited starts
since 2017—was in rare form.
He repeatedly showed Kopp and
crew the fast way around, right
through practice, qualifying, the
heats and the Al Lamb's Dallas
Honda Challenge.
He even grabbed the lead
from pole before handing over
the spot following a short
back-and-forth scrap with Kopp.
Despite a spirited effort, he lost
fourth to Lowe on the final lap.
He had to be content to secure
a second top-five of the season
after previously registering the
feat at the Daytona opener.
Kopp is well and firmly in con
-
trol of the points, now boasting
more than a full-race
lead with
158 points to Saathoff's 132.
Drane is third at 126, followed
by Lowe with 108.

Rather than follow Daniels'
path at Orange County, he pre-
ceded him in domination on Sat-
urday night, breaking out of an
early four-rider
scrap to storm to
his fourth win of the season.
That bumped his career tally
to 19, putting him equal with
Shayna Texter-Bauman for the
all-time lead in the class. It also
moved him to within one of
Texter-Bauman in career Half-
Mile wins. He already owns the
all-time record in the Short Track
discipline and is rapidly closing
in on a third class crown, which
would snap his tie with Daniels
