All eight points classes will be on the racing card along with a $1,000 to win PRO Clone 360 main event.

Heading into June 16, Seth Whitney holds the points lead in both the Clone Light and Clone Heavy divisions after sweeping the opening weekend of racing in April.

In Light, Whitney holds a 30-point advantage over Matthew Barry and Tanner Emmons, while Whitney stands just 13-points ahead of Emmons and Trent Smith in Heavy.
