46TH “TONY HULMAN CLASSIC” WEDNESDAY AT T.H.A.T.; WEIR, THOMAS NOTCH INDIANA SPRINT WINS
Brady Bacon leads the USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship by 19 points as the series heads into this Wednesday night’s 46th running of the “Tony Hulman Classic” at the Terre Haute (Ind.) Action Track. He finished on the podium in 2013 and 2014, but has yet to win the traditional event. He’s never led the “Hulman,” but as a former winner at the “Action Track” in the fall of 2014 in the “Jim Hurtubise Classic,” Bacon has to rate as one of the pre-race favorites.
Bacon heads to Terre Haute on the heels of three consecutive runner-up finishes at Rossburg, Ohio’s Eldora Speedway, Gas City (Ind.) I-69 Speedway and Brownstown (Ind.) Speedway. His lone victory this year came at Montpelier (Ind.) Motor Speedway in April.
One of America’s most revered open-wheel events, Wednesday’s race should include at least five former race winners. They are defending winner Robert Ballou, 1993 and 2014 winner Dave Darland, 2010 and 2013 winner Jerry Coons Jr., 2011 winner Chris Windom and 2002 and 2007 winner Jon Stanbrough. Darland, Coons or Stanbrough could join Cary Faas and Levi Jones as three-time race winners.
Nine drivers have scored victories in the first 11 USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car races in 2016, including two new 2016 winners this past weekend in Indiana.
Kevin Thomas Jr. of Cullman, Ala. dominated Saturday night’s 30-lap race at Brownstown, leading all 30 laps in his Franklin Equipment/CEP Concrete DRC/Chevy. Bacon was second ahead of Darland, Meseraull and ProSource Fast Qualifier C.J. Leary. The victory was Thomas’ first in the series in 15 months.
Scotty Weir of Marion, Ind. finally ended his search for his first USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car feature victory after 115 starts since 2004 when he captured Friday’s “May Meltdown” at Gas City in his AAA/Carts & Parts DRC/Claxton. He passed Bacon on lap 17, slipped behind Bacon on lap 21 and regained the lead on the white-flag lap! Trailing runner-up Bacon were Thomas, Max McGhee and Tyler Courtney.
Meseraull was Friday’s ProSource fast qualifier while Chad Boespflug, Chase Stockon, Courtney, Leary, Stanbrough, Justin Grant and Shane Cottle won preliminaries sponsored by Simpson Race Products, Competition Suspension, Inc., Benic Enterprises and Indy Race Parts. Thomas grabbed Friday’s KSE Racing Products Hard Charger Award at Gas City and Ballou was Saturday’s KSE Racing Products/B & W Auto Mart Hard Charger at Brownstown.
