Riley Dickinson will be looking to continue his winning ways as Porsche Deluxe Carrera Cup North America heads to Indianapolis Motor Speedway this weekend for Rounds 11 and 12 of the season.

The Kellymoss driver enters the event at The Brickyard with a commanding 102-point lead in the Pro class standings, following seven victories out of ten races.

Dickinson could theoretically clinch the title this weekend if the Texan leaves Indianapolis with at least a 112-point advantage over his competition.

While yet to break through for a win in the highly competitive single-make series, McElrea Racing’s Tom Sargent sits second in the standings, 12 points ahead of JDX Racing driver Will Martin, who has picked up wins at both Long Beach and Watkins Glen International this season.

Jason Hart, of MDK Motorsports, is the only other Pro class driver to have visited victory lane this year and sits fifth in the standings, behind JDX/PT Autosport driver Alex Sedgwick.

A total of 30 cars are entered across the three classes this weekend.

Among the absentees since the last round at Road America include both Accelerating Performance Porsche 911 GT3 Cup cars, which had seen Michael Cooper in Pro and Moisey Uretsky in Pro-Am.

It has reduced the number of Pro entries to 18.

Former class champion Alan Metni, however, returns to action in the No. 99 Kellymoss entry in Pro-Am, which sees seven cars, while five Porsches are set to do battle in the Am class, including MDK’s Mark Kvamme and Scott Noble, who are locked in a tight battle for the championship lead.

Track action kicks off Friday with a pair of practice sessions and qualifying, with Race 1 of the weekend set for Saturday at 2:30 p.m. EDT and Race 2 on Sunday at 9:40 a.m., with both being streamed live on PorscheCarreraCup.us, Peacock and IMSA.tv.
