NASCAR Next driver Michael Self has won three of the last four series events, but Derek Thorn – a two-time winner this season – has a slim three-point advantage over Self in the season standings. Cameron Hayley, also a participant in the NASCAR Next program, looks to score his first championship-event victory after starting the season off with a non-points triumph in the inaugural UNOH Battle At The Beach in Daytona. Hayley, who just celebrated his 17th birthday, has scored top-five finishes in five of six K&N West starts this season.
