FARMER CITY, Ill. -- Whether they're watching the St. Louis Cardinals or Chicago White Sox in a pennant race or NASCAR's Chase for the Cup, fans' enjoyment of sports is enhanced greatly when they can watch their favorite team (or individual athlete) compete for a first-place finish.

Therefore, with the Farmer City Raceway heading into its final month of the racing season, I felt it would be appropriate to list the point standings and this Friday's feature results in the same post.

This way, fans of the Farmer City Raceway can follow each racing division's championship chase.

Enjoy the ride, race fans.
