A NEW USAC RECORD! 3-TIME USAC SPRINT WINNERS ABOUND IN JUNE

By: Richie Murray – USAC Media

Speedway, Indiana (June 26, 2023)………In its 68th year of competition, the 2023 USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship season has already produced an all-time record.

With Brady Bacon’s feature victory at Wisconsin’s Wilmot Raceway on June 24, the accomplishment set a new all-time mark as the earliest in a season in which four different drivers have accumulated at least three feature wins.

Entering this weekend’s series events on Friday-Saturday, June 30-July 1 at Putnamville, Indiana’s Lincoln Park Speedway, Brady Bacon, Kyle Cummins, Justin Grant and Jake Swanson have already reached the three-win mark.

Bacon (Broken Arrow, Okla.) has taken the top honors at Bubba Raceway Park, the Terre Haute Action Track, and most recently, Wilmot.  Cummins (Princeton, Ind.) has produced a trio of victories at Bubba’s, Circle City Raceway and Action Track USA.

Meanwhile, Grant (Ione, Calif.), the reigning series champion, has saddled up to winner’s circle at Tri-State Speedway, and the half-miles of Eldora Speedway and Port Royal Speedway.  Swanson (Anaheim, Calif.) has already outdone his total USAC National win title entering the season with scores at Circle City, Knoxville Raceway and Grandview Speedway, and that’s not even counting the non-points victory he earned this past February at Florida’s Volusia Speedway Park.

The previous record for the earliest in a season in which four drivers had achieved their third USAC National Sprint Car feature win came in 2010 when Damion Gardner, Levi Jones, Bryan Clauson and Jon Stanbrough each reached a triple by July 16, a full 23 days later than the new record set this year.

Fascinatingly, two more drivers – C.J. Leary and Emerson Axsom – each enter this weekend’s races at Lincoln Park with two wins apiece in 2023 and could certainly find their way into the three-win club as well with another victory on the 5/16-mile dirt oval.

Interestingly, what makes this year’s record even more impressive is that, in 29 of those 68 seasons, there weren’t even four drivers to break three wins during the entirety of the season, occurring most recently a decade ago in 2013.  And, this year, there are no drivers to this point that just have a single victory to their name.

The numbers this year are impressive, just as the wheelmen and teams who’ve made it happen.  Perhaps in this weekend’s Bill Gardner Sprintacular, we’ll witness the first four-time winner of the season, maybe a first-time winner, or quite possibly, one of the two-time winners will propel themselves to the ranks of the three-timers.

Regardless of how this weekend transpires, even in June, this has already been a year for the record books.  And we’ve still got a full four months of racing to go.  How about that?

 

RACE DETAILS:

The 9th annual IndianaOpenWheel.com Bill Gardner Sprintacular awaits this weekend, Friday-Saturday, June 30-July 1 at Putnamville, Indiana’s Lincoln Park Speedway.
