This weekend is the fourth of the five races in the Spartan US Championship Series. Jack Bauer and Will Hicks discuss the standings and who they expect to win the race this weekend in Big Bear.

Three men have risen to the top of the field in the series points race. Ryan Atkins, Ryan Kempson, and Ryan Kent all need to win Big Bear or at least place high to remain in the hunt.

On the women's side it has become a two-person race. Lindsay Webster and Nicole Mericle have separated themselves from the field and are both positioned to take the series win with two more strong races. However, the Big Bear venue seems to be tailor-made to fit the strengths of Rea Kolbl. 

This will be a great weekend of racing in Big Bear. Be sure to follow @theOCRreport on Instagram to follow the results live.
