USAC’S WESTERN “FORD FOCUS WEEK” OPENS AT PERRIS SATURDAY

The 2010 USAC Western “Ford Focus Week” debuts Saturday night at Perris (Calif.) Auto Speedway and continues next Wednesday (Aug. 4) at Ventura (Calif.) Raceway, then concludes on Saturday (Aug. 7) at Ocean Speedway in Watsonville, Calif.

USAC Western Ford Focus and Western Young Guns drivers will compete for “Ford Focus Week” championships in the three-race series, with Hoosier Tire West, Ron Sutton’s Star Racing Supply, K & N and Fresno Discount Trophy offering sponsorship support.

Sean Dodenhof (Ford Focus) and Taylor Ferns (Young Guns) won last year’s inaugural California Ford Focus Week titles and 2010 series point leaders Nick Carlson (Ford Focus Dirt), Jarid Blondel (Young Guns) and Alex Jacobsen (Young Guns Dirt) are expected to be among top threats to win this year’s titles.

Saturday’s racing program at Perris also includes the AMSOIL USAC/CRA Sprint Cars.

California leads the all-time list of states hosting USAC Ford Focus races with 209 to date.

USAC ANNOUNCES ENHANCEMENTS TO 2010 SILVER CROWN SCHEDULE

The United States Auto Club has announced several schedule modifications to the 2010 Silver Crown Championship slate, including the addition of the “Rollie Beale 150” at the Toledo (Ohio) Speedway October 16 and the rescheduling of the rain-postponed “Sumar Classic 100” at the Terre Haute (Ind.) Action Track, now scheduled for October 9. Along with these announced schedule additions, the Oswego, N.Y. race originally scheduled August 4 has been cancelled.

“We are pleased to announce the series’ debut at Toledo, which has been an exciting racing venue for our pavement sprints and midgets for many years and the new date for the “Sumar Classic 100,” added Jason Smith. Senior Vice President of USAC Racing. The return of the “Sumar Classic” to Terre Haute continues a tradition begun in 1995 while the Toledo race builds on USAC’s heritage at the Ohio oval while inaugurating a brand-new Silver Crown tradition on the popular season-ending date at the Speedway.”

Beale won the USAC National Sprint Car Championship in 1973 and recorded 32 feature victories during his USAC career. In addition, he competed in numerous USAC Silver Crown races and served for several years as USAC’s Silver Crown and Sprint Car Chief Steward.

The USAC Silver Crown Championship Series now turns its focus to the August 12 race at Berlin Raceway in Marne, Mich., another race new to the USAC schedule in 2010.

2-TIME HOOSIER HUNDRED CHAMP ELLIOTT GRAND MARSHAL OF SATURDAY’S “LITTLE HOOSIER 100”

Held in the park adjacent to the Hoosier Tire Company created by Hoosier founders Bob and Joyce Newton, Saturday’s event celebrates the rich history of the “Hoosier Hundred” while building its own tradition. Elliott will be on hand to meet and greet participants and the parents and to participate in festivities, including opening ceremonies.

In addition to his Hoosier Hundred triumphs, Elliott won 20 USAC Sprint car and nine USAC Midget races during his career and won USAC’s National Sprint Car Championship in 1998 and 2000.

Following a Thursday luncheon with Tony Stewart at the Newton Center and Thursday night’s 100-lap USAC Ford Focus race and accompanying USAC Regional Midget and Ford Focus Young Guns races at Plymouth (Ind.) Speedway, activities at Newton Park will begin Friday with a tour of Hoosier Tire’s manufacturing facility at 8:30 am, followed by practice from 2-6 pm and a radio-controlled quarter-scale exhibition from 7-9..

Admission is free for Friday’s practice and Saturday and Sunday’s races with opening ceremonies slated at 9 am Saturday.

WILKE RACING TEAM BECOMES ALL-TIME USAC VICTORY LEADER

The Wilke Racing Team of Milwaukee, Wisc. became the winningest team in USAC National Racing history with Kody Swanson’s victory in last Thursday night’s USAC Mopar National Midget race at O’Reilly Raceway Park in Indianapolis, Ind.

The win, the team’s 134th in USAC National racing, vaulted them past Steve Lewis of Laguna Beach, Calif., who also had 133 career USAC National Wins to his credit.

Swanson’s win, his first for the team, was only the second for the Wilkes at ORP. Their first was with driver Don Branson in 1961! Their 134 wins have come in 41 different racing seasons since USAC debuted in 1956, the first with Rodger Ward driving the Leader Card Special in the 1959 Indianapolis 500.

Ward is the team’s winningest driver, with 20 career wins and a total of 30 different drivers have piloted Wilke cars to USAC National wins. Thursday’s win was the 27th for the Wilkes in Indiana. Illinois has yielded the most wins, with 30, while their native Wisconsin has yielded 24 as they have won in 16 different states and Canada.

The Wilke victory resume includes 35 Championship races, 11 in the Silver Crown series, six in the Sprint cars and now 82 in the Midgets.

The list of Wilke race winners reads like a who’s-who of the sport: Rodger Ward (20), Kevin Olson (17), Rich Vogler (15), Don Branson (13) Coons (12), Tracy Hines and Bobby Unser (9), Stevie Reeves and Tom Bigelow (5), Mike Mosley and Bobby Olivero (3), Mario Andretti, Chuck Weyant, Davey Ray and Page Jones (2), and A.J. Foyt, Bob Tattersall, Johnny White, Bob Wente, Bobby Marshman, George Snider, Jeff Gordon, Johnny Rutherford, Josh Wise, Ken Schrader, Kevin Doty, Mel Cornett, Parnelli Jones, Rick Hood and now Kody Swanson (1).

In addition to their 134 USAC National wins, they also have six additional USAC wins in races not carrying National points.

SPRINTS BACK AT K-C AFTER 16 YEARS! GAINES GETS USAC VICTORY #3 AT LINCOLN PARK

Levi Jones of Olney, Ill. will lead the USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car Series back to K-C Raceway in Alma, Ohio for their first appearance at the 3/8-mile dirt track in 16 years Saturday. Jones has a comfortable 102-point lead over Damion Gardner in the latest standings, hoping to earn a record-tying fourth USAC National Sprint Car championship. Steve Butler remains the only four-time series king.

Dave Darland, currently seventh in the series standings, won USAC’s last race at K-C, in 1994. Drivers will aim for Kevin Thomas’ 1-lap USAC track qualifying mark of 13.880 seconds when qualifications get under way.

Dickie Gaines of Mitchell, Ind. led all 30 laps to win Saturday night’s USAC AMSOIL National Sprint race at Lincoln Park Speedway in Putnamville, Ind. under threatening skies. Gaines drove the Tate Racing DRC/Chevy to the win over Darland, Jones, Shane Hollingsworth and Daron Clayton. Damion Gardner was Saturday’s fastest qualifier.

The victory was the third for Gaines in his USAC career.

KAEDING TAKES 24-POINT SILVER CROWN LEAD TO OSWEGO AUGUST 4; HINES WINS “J.D. BYRIDER 100” AT ORP

Bud Kaeding of Campbell, Calif. has a tenuous 24-point USAC Silver Crown series lead over Jerry Coons Jr. entering the August 4 “Steel Palace Classic” at the Oswego (N.Y.) Speedway. Kaeding finished seventh in last Thursday’s “J.D. Byrider 100” at O’Reilly Raceway Park in Indianapolis, Ind. Coons was 19th in the 100-lap race.

Tracy Hines of New Castle, Ind. grabbed the lead from Bobby East on lap 64 and led the final 37 laps to win Thursday night’s race, part of the track’s 2010 Kroger SpeedFest. Hines piloted the John Vance Racing Team’s Aristocrat Products Beast/Gaerte to the win over Levi Jones, Jacob Wilson, Brad Sweet and Bobby East.

Sweet won the pole but Ryan Newman started second and led the opening lap. Sweet and Kody Swanson also led laps before East took over on lap 35.

The August 4 Oswego race marks only second appearance of the Silver Crown cars on pavement in the Empire State. Brian Tyler won last year’s Oswego 100-lapper.

SANTA MARIA'S BUD STANFIELD MEMORIAL THIS SATURDAY

By Lance Jennings

SANTA MARIA, CA – JULY 21, 2010… The USAC West Coast 360 Sprint Car Series is back in action this Saturday, July 24th, at Chris Kearns' Santa Maria Speedway. The Bud Stanfield Memorial will be the fourth event of the year at "The West's Best Short Track" where Danny Sheridan, Craig Stidham, and Jace VanderWeerd claimed victory. The "Mega 97.1 FM Night" will also feature the Toste Construction Mini Stocks, Vintage Sprints, and CDCRA Dwarf Cars. The Front Gates will open at 5:00pm, Time Trials will start at 6:00pm, with Racing at 7:00pm.

Point leader Craig Stidham of Fresno leads all drivers on the circuit with four feature wins. The pilot of the Brad Johnson Trucking / KRC Safety #3S Maxim was fifth quick in time trials, third in his heat race, and third in the feature at Hanford last Saturday. Stidham is closing in on his first series title, but will have to contend with a talented roster of drivers at Santa Maria.

Kerman’s Davey Pombo has one main event victory in the 2010 campaign and will be looking to cut into Stidham's point lead. Driving Junior Bowman's Buster & Ziggy #3 Bullet, Pombo was eighth quick in time trials, won the BR Motorsports / Saldana Racing Products Heat Race, and finished second in the main event at Hanford.

Fresno's T.J. Smith is third in the point standings. Last Saturday at Hanford, Smith was third quick in qualifying, won the Competition Suspension Heat Race, won the Dash, and scored twenty-second place in the feature. Look for the Steve LeGras' UHL Rubber #14 Maxim to rebound with a strong run at Santa Maria.

Justyne Hamblin of Hanford is fourth in the point chase. Driving the JH Motorsports / Tachi Palace Hotel & Casino #8 Speed Tech entry, Hamblin has one feature victory on the season. At Hanford, the defending series champion was ninth quick in qualifying, third in her heat race, and sixth in the main event.

Clovis' Peter Murphy is currently fifth in the point standings. Piloting Junior Bowman's Buster & Ziggy #11 Bullet, Murphy is still looking for his first win of the season. The versatile driver was nineteenth quick in time trials, fifth in his heat race, and fourth in the main event after starting seventeenth. That drive earned the Santa Maria track champion the King Racing Products Hard Charger Award.

Among the other top contenders expected to be in action are Bakersfield's Rusty Carlile, Visalia's Jace & Richard VanderWeerd, Tipton’s “Hollywood” Danny Faria Jr., Bakersfield's Chris Ennis, Mariposa's Andy Ferris, Ricky Kirkbride of Bakersfield, Hanford's Jonathan Logan, Wes Gutierrez of San Martin, and 4-time Santa Maria track champion "Junkyard" Jimmy Thompson from Arroyo Grande.

NEXT EASTERN/CAROLINA FORD FOCUS RACE: July 28 – Concord (NC) Speedway

NEWMAN GOES FOR ORP “DOUBLE” THURSDAY

Ryan Newman will go for the “double” Thursday at O’Reilly Raceway Park in Indianapolis, Ind. His entry has now been received for the USAC Mopar Midget Series event, following the recent announcement of his participation in Thursday night’s “J.B. Byrider 100” USAC Silver Crown race.

Newman will pilot a Tony Stewart Racing Bass Pro Shops Beast/Chevy in his first USAC Midget race since a 2007 race at Phoenix International Raceway. That race ended as soon as it started and he never completed a lap. In 2006, however, he finished third in a USAC Midget at the Columbus (Ohio) Motor Speedway.

Newman, who will team with Eric Gordon in the Silver Crown cars, will try to be the first to win two USAC races in different formulas on the same night at the ORP oval. That covers a total of 260-plus races since 1961! It should be noted that Dave Steele won a pair of 25-lap USAC Midget races at the ORP oval on the same night in 2002.

Thursday’s Kroger SpeedFest activities include a full racing program for the Midgets and Silver Crown machines, with a 30-lap Midget feature and the 100-lap “J.D. Byrider 100” Silver Crown race culminating the night’s racing.

Newman’s ORP career includes five Midget wins (1997-1999) and a Silver Crown win in 1999.

TERRE HAUTE ACTION TRACK RESUMES “SUMAR CLASSIC” SILVER CROWN TRADITION WEDNESDAY

The rich tradition of USAC Silver Crown racing on the dirt returns to the Terre Haute Action Track Wednesday night with the running of the “Sumar Classic 100.” The race was not held in 2009 and the track is under new management, which debuted with last week’s highly-successful “Indiana Sprint Week” program.

The 100-lap USAC Silver Crown race continues a “Sumar Classic” tradition started at the half-mile dirt track in 1995 when Indianapolis 500 veteran Donnie Beechler was the winner. Subsequent years produced wins for Kevin Thomas, Tony Elliott, Jack Hewitt, J.J. Yeley, Brian Tyler, Josh Wise, Bud Kaeding and the defending race winner, Dave Darland, who won the 2008 race. Gary Bettenhausen actually won USAC’s first Silver Crown race at the storied Terre Haute oval, in 1980.

Kaeding, Darland, Tyler and Beechler are all expected to be in the field for Wednesday’s race, Kaeding currently leading the series standings in search of a record fourth series championship in five years!

Josh Wise holds the 1-lap track qualifying record of 20.139 seconds which will be the target for drivers Wednesday. Bettenhausen still holds the 100-lap race record of 50 minutes, 37.20 seconds, set in 1980.

No USAC Silver Crown season has ever started with four brand-new feature winners. So far all three winners this year have been brand-new to victory lane, namely Levi Jones, A.J. Fike and Shane Hmiel. That only happened once previously, in 1997 when Jimmy Kite, Pat Abold and Chuck Leary were the winners.

PLYMOUTH FOCUS 100-LAPPER & “LITTLE HOOSIER 100” ON TAP JULY 29-AUGUST 1 IN NORTHERN INDIANA; ELLIOTT NAMED GRAND MARSHAL

One hundred (100) laps is the feature distance set for the USAC Ford Focus cars at Plymouth (Ind.) Speedway July 29 as USAC participants gear up for a busy weekend in northern Indiana culminating with the second annual “Little Hoosier 100” for USAC Mopar .25 Midgets at Newton Park in Lakeville July 31-August 1.

Only once before have the Focus cars competed in a 100-lap contest, that being in 2004 when Bradley Galedrige won a 100-lapper at the Belleville (Kans.) High Banks. Since that was on the dirt, the Plymouth race will mark the 100-lap debut on pavement.

The “Little Hoosier 100” is round seven of the 2010 “Generation Next” championship. Several of the champions of the recent “Battle at the Brickyard” at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway are expected to compete at Newton Park and former “Hoosier Hundred” USAC Silver Crown veteran Tony Elliott of Warsaw, Ind. will be on hand to serve as the Grand Marshal.

The Plymouth race will showcase stars of USAC’s Midwest Ford Focus racing series, including current point leaders Joe Liguori of Tampa, Fla. and Jake Blackhurst of Mapleton, Ill., as well as top competitors from the Carolina Ford Focus Series.

Jimmy Simpson of Indianapolis, Ind. won last year’s USAC Ford Focus race at Plymouth but the July 29 race will offer competitors a new strategy with its unique 100-lap distance.

CONCORD FOCUS-YOUNG GUNS SERIES DEBUTS WEDNESDAY; FOCUSES ALSO EYE PUTNAMVILLE & SALT LAKE CITY; VICTORIES TO LIGUORI, HUNTER, GERHARDT & THOMPSON

Concord (N.C.) Motorsports Park hosts the first of six consecutive Wednesday night Eastern/Carolina Ford Focus and Carolina Young Guns “doubleheader” this Wednesday. USAC Ford Focus racing also occurs this week at Lincoln Park Speedway in Putnamville, Ind. (Midwest) and Salt Lake City, Utah (Western/Utah), both Saturday night.

Scott Hunter of Concord tops the standings in both the Eastern and Carolina Ford Focus series following his victory in Saturday night’s 30-lap Midwest/Eastern race at the Columbus (Ohio) Motor Speedway. Hunter led all 30 laps in his Brown & Miller Racing Solutions/Kenny’s Components Ascot, beating Kyle Hamilton, Tyler Cottongim, Jake Blackhurst and Joe Liguori to the checkered flag. Nick Drake posted the fastest qualifying time.

Liguori, of Tampa, Fla., wheeled the John Givens C & R Racing/Pit Stop Bar-B-Q Beast to victory in Friday night’s 30-lap USAC Midwest/Eastern Ford Focus feature at Kil-Kare Speedway. He took the lead from Toby Alfrey on lap 24 and led the rest of the way to beat Midwest point leader Blackhurst, Hamilton, fast qualifier Hunter and Kyle O’Gara.

Cody Gerhardt of Madera, Calif. and Cody Thompson of Fremont, Calif. grabbed USAC Ford Focus and Young Guns victories during the USAC “quadrupleheader” at Stockton 99 Speedway Saturday night. Gerhardt passed Garrett Peterson on lap 27 of the 30-lap Focus race and led the final four laps to beat Cody Thompson, Tim Skoglund, Keegan Walmer and fast qualifier Peterson. Thompson won the 25-lap Young Guns feature, leading all but the first two laps after passing Brandon White on lap three. Keegan Walmer finished second ahead of Courtney Atkinson and White.

Gerhardt leads the Western Ford Focus standings and Michael Daniels of Magna, Utah sits atop the Utah standings entering Saturday’s race at Salt Lake City.

NEW WESTERN MIDGET POINT LEADER SCHUTTE EYES PERRIS AUGUST 21; NICHOLS TOPS STOCKTON MIDGETS AGAIN!

Alex Schutte of Redding, Calif. finds himself atop the 2010 USAC Mopar Western Midget Series standings after finishing third in Saturday night’s race at Stockton (Calif.) 99 Speedway. He will take a three-point lead over Cory Kruseman into an August 21 race at Perris (Calif.) Auto Speedway.

Chad Nichols of Colma, Calif. won Saturday night’s 30-lap feature at Stockton in his “Orange Rocket” Beast/Esslinger Ford, leading all 30 laps in the process. Nick Chivello was the runnerup, followed by Schutte, Robby Josett and Tony Hunt.

Kruseman finished 10th at Stockton. Scott Pierovich posted the fastest qualifying time.

Schutte will be trying to improve on his early-2010 Perris outing which found him recording a 20th, his worst finish so far this season.

360s BACK TO SANTA MARIA SATURDAY; KAEDING TAKES HANFORD’S “JIM EVETT MEMORIAL”

The USAC West Coast 360 Sprint cars make their fourth appearance of the year at Santa Maria (Calif.) Speedway this Saturday night and a fourth different feature winner could emerge.

Jace VanderWeerd and Danny Sheridan have already posted their initial series victories at the third-mile dirt oval, the other victory going to series point leader Craig Stidham.

Stidham enters the Santa Maria race with a 55-point lead over Davey Pombo after finishing third in last Saturday night’s 30-lapper at Giant Speedway in Hanford.

Bud Kaeding of Campbell, Calif. won Saturday’s “Jim Evett Memorial,” leading the last 15 laps after passing teammate Pombo on lap 16. Pombo finished second ahead of Stidham, Peter Murphy and Richard VanderWeerd. Kaeding piloted the Buster & Ziggy Enterprises Bullet/Downing Chevy to the win, his second in the 2010 series.

Stidham is among four drivers who have posted “top-10s” in all three previous 2010 races at Santa Maria. The others are Pombo, Jace and Richard VanderWeerd.

WESTERN-ROCKY MOUNTAIN “SHOOTOUT” AT SALT LAKE CITY SATURDAY; SERIES VISITS MADERA SPEEDWAY AUGUST 7; HUNT LANDS WESTERN SPRINT VICTORY #29 AT STOCKTON

Tony Hunt of Lincoln, Calif. and Jimmy Wysong of South Jordan, Utah will square off for supremacy when the USAC AMSOIL Western Sprint cars and the USAC Young Automotive Rocky Mountain Sprint cars collide Saturday night at the Rocky Mountain Raceways in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Hunt owns a 73-point lead over Luis Ramos III in the new Western standings after his victory in last Saturday night’s race at Stockton, Calif. Wysong is just 11 points head of former two-time Rocky Mountain champ Jim Waters entering this Saturday’s race.

Hunt wheeled his Metal Works/Red Line Oil Beast/Schwenke Chevy to a record 29th series victory Saturday night at Stockton 99 Speedway. Hunt passed Scott Pierovich on lap 15 and led the rest of the way to win the 40-lapper over Pierovich, Tim Skoglund, Ramos and JoJo Helberg. Hunt was also the fastest qualifier.

Hunt is seeking a sixth USAC driving title to go along with his three Western Sprint crowns, 1992 Russell Pro title and 2002 Western Regional Sprint championship. A sixth title would put him in select company, with only five drivers holding more USAC career titles.

It has also been announced that the USAC AMSOIL Western Sprint Cars will race at Madera (Calif.) Speedway August 7.

POINT LEADER CLAUSON LEADS MIDGETS TO ORP THURSDAY

Bryan Clauson of Noblesville, Ind. hopes to continue his streak of success at O’Reilly Raceway Park in Indianapolis, Ind. Thursday when the USAC Mopar National Midget series returns to the .686-mile paved oval as part of the track’s “Kroger Speed Fest.” The race is part of a USAC “doubleheader” also showcasing the “J.D. Byrider 100” Silver Crown event.

Clauson brings a 38-point lead over defending USAC Mopar National Midget Champion Brad Kuhn to ORP where the past three starts have resulted in a win and two seconds. Kuhn, on the other hand, has a ninth, 10th and a fourth in the past four starts, the fourth coming in this year’s “Night Before the 500” classic.

Tanner Swanson of Kingsburg, Calif. won the “Night Before the 500” in May but is not among the series “top-10” point leaders going into Thursday’s race.

Tracy Hines of New Castle, Ind. might be worth keeping an eye on Thursday. He’s just two wins shy of Mike Bliss and Dave Steele on ORP’s all-time USAC winners list and he’s just one point behind Kuhn in third in the standings. A seasonal title would make Hines USAC’s sixth “Triple Crown Champion.”

SPRINTS HEAD FOR LINCOLN PARK SATURDAY; STANBROUGH CLAIMS 2ND INDIANA SPRINT WEEK TITLE; STANBROUGH, SHORT, FITZPATRICK GRAB FINAL 4 FEATURES

Levi Jones of Olney, Ill. continues to lead the USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car series standings in search of a record-tying fourth crown, 91 ahead of Damion Gardner entering this Saturday’s race at Lincoln Park Speedway in Putnamville, Ind. where the USAC Midwest Ford Focuses share billing.

Jones fell shy in his bid to repeat as the USAC Indiana Sprint Week champion, that title going to Jon Stanbrough of Avon, Ind., winner of three of the seven races contested the past two weeks. Stanbrough finished 35 points ahead of Jones in the standings after Jones got caught up in a multi-car tangle on the second lap of Saturday night’s finale at Haubstadt, Ind. Stanbrough went on to place second in the 30-lapper and earn his second ISW title. Stanbrough’s Fox Racing Team also earned the coveted Bridgeport Rocker as the series titlists.

Saturday’s race at Putnamville will be the first for USAC Sprint cars at Lincoln Park Speedway since Dave Darland’s 2005 victory.

Blake Fitzpatrick of West Terre Haute, Ind. scored his first-ever USAC AMSOIL National Sprint car feature victory Saturday night at Tri-State Speedway. Fitzpatrick caught Darland on lap 27 and led the final four laps in his Forsythe Racing/Industrial Anodizing Maxim/Chevy. Stanbrough caught Darland at the checkered flag for second, ahead of Bryan Clauson and Damion Gardner. Following Jones’ flip Stanbrough needed only a 15th-place finish to secure his second ISW crown. Stanbrough led the opening lap after starting on the front row. Darland then took over for the next 25 laps before Fitzpatrick made his winning move coming out of turn four. Justin Grant was again the night’s fastest qualifier.

Stanbrough won Friday night’s 30-lapper at the Bloomington Speedway, leading the final 17 laps of the USAC AMSOIL National Sprint race in his Jarvis Enterprises/Peterbuilt of Northwest Ohio DRC/Foxco. Stanbrough caught early leader Hunter Schuerenberg on lap 14 and led the rest of the way to beat Schuerenberg, Jones, Gardner and Jon Sciscoe. Bobby East was the fastest Bloomington qualifier.

Brady Short of Bedford, Ind. rode the high rim past Chris Windom on lap 27 and led the final four laps to win Thursday night’s 30-lap USAC AMSOIL National Sprint race at Brownstown Speedway, round five of the 2010 Indiana Sprint Week. Short and his Indiana Stoneworks/Short Trucking Maxim/Chevy beat Windom, Stanbrough, Jones and Schuerenberg to the checkered flag in a feature conducted under threatening skies as summer storms were in the area. Darland, the point leader entering the Brownstown race, was unable to secure a feature starting berth. Justin Grant was Thursday’s fastest qualifier.

Stanbrough led all 30 laps to win round four of the 2010 Indiana Sprint Week at the Terre Haute Action Track Wednesday night. Stanbrough started on the front row alongside pole starter Henry Clarke but jumped into the lead and never looked back. Darland finished second ahead of Clauson, Jerry Coons Jr. and fast qualifier Clayton. ISW point leaders Jones and Gardner flipped. Jones was battling for the lead and bicycled in turn one, then was struck by Gardner. Neither driver was injured. Adam Nigg was transported to Terre Haute Regional Hospital for treatment after flipping during qualifying.

BACK-TO-BACK SILVER CROWN RACES JULY 21-22; NEW TERRE HAUTE ACTION TRACK ORGANIZERS IN PLACE

The USAC Silver Crown Championship Series is gearing up for its most exciting week of the 2010 racing season. The series will compete on back-to-back nights in Indiana July 21-22, marking only the third time in series history that back-to-back races have been held on successive nights.

The “Sumar Classic” is scheduled July 21 at the Terre Haute Action Track and the “J.D. Byrider 100” is slated July 22 at O’Reilly Raceway Park in Indianapolis. The former has been finalized as a result of a change of race organizers at the storied half-mile dirt oval.

Action Promotions, LLC has announced that the remaining events on the 2010 Action Track schedule will be promoted by the O'Connor Family, race organizers at Kokomo (Ind.) Speedway and Track Enterprises (race organizers at the storied Indiana and Illinois fairgrounds mile dirt ovals).. This move became necessary following the resignation of Chris Novotney from Action Promotions following the May 27th First Financial Tony Hulman Classic.

"I appreciate the willingness of Bob Sargent and the O'Connor Family to literally come to the rescue and save these events," said Mike King of Action Promotions, LLC. "Our entire group of sponsors will remain in place and season passes will be honored for the July 14 and September 11 events as well."

"After accepting the decision by Mr. Novotney to step down as a member of Action Promotions and his position as director of track preparation, Brian (Dorsett), Davey (Hamilton) and I began talks with USAC to find the right partners to properly present these final events on the 2010 schedule," said King. "Reece O'Conner and Bob Sargent both have great reputations and the knowledge that it takes to present these events and many more. We are putting the track in great hands and look forward to assisting them in any way necessary."

O’Reilly Raceway Park was involved in the only other two instances of back-to-back Silver Crown events, in 2003 and 2008. In 2003 J.J. Yeley swept both races, at ORP and the Indiana State Fairgrounds. In 2008 Dave Darland won at Terre Haute and Bobby East was the winner at ORP.

Only 5 drivers have won back-to-back Silver Crown races on pavement and dirt: Tom Bigelow did it in 1975, Rick Hood in 1985, Jeff Gordon in 1991, J.J. Yeley in 1998 and 2003 and Tyler Walker in 2004.

All three race winners so far this year are brand-new Silver Crown winners, Levi Jones, A.J. Fike and Shane Hmiel.

FOCUSES AT SPEEDROME WEDNESDAY, GAS CITY SATURDAY; WINS GO TO GERHARDT, WHITE, RUNYAN, WALKER, BLACKHURST & PROCK

Jake Blackhurst of Mapleton, Ill. returns to the Indianapolis Speedrome Wednesday night for “Mack McClellan Night” as the Midwest Ford Focus point leader after winning last Wednesday night’s “Ted Hines Night” feature at the 1/5-mile paved oval. Cooper Clouse will lead the Young Guns into Wednesday’s program, while the Midwest Ford Focuses are also gearing up for Saturday’s event in conjunction with “Indiana Sprint Week” at the Gas City I-69 Speedway.

Blackhurst and Austin Prock of Avon, Ind. earned USAC Ford Focus feature wins last Wednesday night at the Speedrome. Blackhurst led all 40 laps of the Midwest Ford Focus race and Prock lead all 25 laps of the Young Guns feature. Trailing Blackhurst and his Kitchen Cooked/Schroth Beast were Nick Drake, Kyle O’Gara, Joe Liguori and Tate Martz. Prock and his BMRS/Waterman Racing Beast were trailed by Max McGee, Brendon Bock, Ross Rankine and Clouse.

Cody Gerhardt of Madera, Calif. and Brandon White of Eureka, Calif. won the feature events Saturday night in the USAC Ford Focus program at the Orange Show Speedway in San Bernardino, Calif. Gerhardt passed Cody Thompson on the 20th lap and led the rest of the way to win the 35-lap Western Ford Focus race over Garrett Peterson, fast qualifier Tim Skoglund, Cody Thompson and Bobby Runyan. White led all 20 laps to win the Young Guns feature over Austin Farley, Keegan Walmer, Thompson and fast qualifier Jarid Blondel.

Bobby Runyan of Denair, Calif. and Keegan Walmer of Portland, Ore. shared victory lane ceremonies at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway Bullring Thursday night, winning USAC Ford Focus feature events. Runyan took the 25-lap Western/Utah Ford Focus feature over Austin Farley, Eli Schrock, Cody Gerhardt and Wally Pankratz. Cody Thompson led the first 19 laps before becoming involved in a multi-car tangle, allowing Runyan to lead the last 11 laps. Walmer led the first five and last lap of the Young Guns feature to beat Thompson by 11 thousandths of a second! Farley was third, ahead of Brandon White and Jessica Clark. Walmer led the first five laps, then Thompson led 11. Farley led three before yielding to Walmer on the final circuit.

The 2010 Utah Ford Focus Series resumes action July 24 in Salt Lake City.

Cardey scored his third consecutive Perris Auto Speedway feature victory Saturday night, fighting off Cory Kruseman and Nic Faas to win the “Firecracker 30” in his Circle Track Performance Viper/Picks special. Faas took second ahead of Kruseman, series point leader Mike Spencer and fast qualifier Matt Mitchell. Kruseman led 13 of the first 20 laps but Cardey got past him on lap 21 and led the rest of the way for the win.

MIDGETS PREP FOR JULY 22 ORP “SPEEDFEST’” HAGEN, KUHN & SWEET GET WINS AT TOLEDO, SUN PRAIRIE

“Kroger Speedfest” is next on the USAC Mopar National Midget slate at O’Reilly Raceway Park in Indianapolis, Ind. July 22 where the series shares billing with the USAC Silver Crown Championship Series.

Bryan Clauson will take a 38-point lead into that race despite a seventh and two 19th-place finishes in the most recent races at Toledo, Ohio and Sun Prairie, Wisc.

Brad Sweet of Grass Valley, Calif. won Sunday night’s 30-lap race at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie on the final lap, passing Jerry Coons Jr. for the win in his Ollie’s Bargain Outlet/Auto Value Spike/Speedway Mopar. Sweet was also Sunday night’s fastest qualifier but the final lap was the only one he led! Coons finished second ahead of Dave Darland, Tracy Hines and Darren Hagen. Sweet was the last of four leaders in the ultra-competitive feature.

Defending USAC Mopar National Midget Champion Brad Kuhn of Avon, Ind. led all 30 laps to win Saturday night’s feature at Angell Park, the home of the National Midget Auto Racing Hall of Fame. Kuhn and his Rotondo Weirich/Champion Brands Beast/Fontana were trailed by Sweet, Darland, Coons and Hines. Clauson finished seventh after posting the fastest qualifying time.

Darren Hagen of Riverside, Calif. gave himself a 24th birthday present Friday night at Toledo (Ohio) Speedway – a victory in the Hemelgarn Racing Super Fitness Night 50-lap USAC Mopar National Midget race. Hagen drove the Liberty Village/McGladrey & Pullen Beast/Esslinger Ford to the win over Daniel Bedford, Dakoda Armstrong, Caleb Armstrong and Levi Roberts. Hines was the fastest qualifier but failed to finish the feature event as did pole starter Coons, who led 11 laps before mechanical problems forced him to the sidelines. Clauson also failed to finish the 50-lapper.

23rd “INDIANA SPRINT WEEK” STARTS FRIDAY AT LAWRENCEBURG; HMIEL REPEATS AT ORP, CLARKE GETS #1 AT TOLEDO

Last year’s “Indiana Sprint Week” championship was decided by a single point. All signs point toward a possible repeat of that type of competition when the 23rd Annual “Indiana Sprint Week” debuts this Friday at the Lawrenceburg Speedway. Gas City I-69 Speedway hosts Saturday night’s round two and round three is Sunday night at Kokomo Speedway.

The 7-race series continues July 14, 15, 16 and 17 respectively at the Terre Haute Action Track, Brownstown Speedway, Bloomington Speedway and Tri-State Speedway in Haubstadt for the series finale.

Defending AMSOIL USAC National Sprint Car champion Levi Jones beat Bryan Clauson by one point to take the 2009 title. Jones returns as the 2010 AMSOIL point leader, while Clauson ranks third in the current standings. Jones has five wins so far this season, while Clauson has won three times. Both need to keep an eye out for Damion Gardner, who has four 2010 victories and is only 11 points behind Jones in the standings entering this week’s events.

Dave Darland won last year’s ISW race at Lawrenceburg, while Jones was the 2009 Gas City winner. Chad Boat won last year at Kokomo.

Jones could become only the second four-time ISW champion. Kevin Thomas also won four titles, but Jones could be the first to claim three in a row. Other former ISW champs expected to compete are Dave Darland, who also is seeking a fourth title and 2006 titlist Jon Stanbrough.

Henry Clarke of Villa Park, Calif. earned his first-ever USAC National feature victory Friday night at Toledo (Ohio) Speedway, leading the final 31 laps of the 50-lap “Hemelgarn Racing Super Fitness Night” feature. Trailing Clarke’s Advanced Racing/Rise Up Foundation Beast/Speedway Mopar were Shane Hmiel, Bobby East, Jones and Tracy Hines. Jones led the first 19 laps before yielding to Clarke. Hmiel and Clarke contacted each other in the final turn of the final lap, then finished 1-2.

Hmiel, of Pleasant Garden, N.C., is 2-for-2 in AMSOIL USAC National Sprint Car racing at O’Reilly Raceway Park after leading the final 18 laps of Thursday night’s 30-lap race at the .686-mile paved oval. Hmiel passed Jerry Coons Jr. on lap 13 and led the rest of the way in his Rotondo Weirich/Benic Enterprises Maxim/ITI Performance machine. Coons finished second ahead of Kody Swanson, Gardner and Brian Gerster. Swanson led the first four laps and Coons led the next eight. Hmiel was also the fastest qualifier.

HMIEL RETURNS FOR “THURSDAY NIGHT THUNDER”

Fireworks Spectacular AT ORP THE ONLY DRIVER TO WIN IN ALL 3 USAC NATIONAL SERIES THIS YEAR

Shane Hmiel of Pleasant Garden, N.C. returns to O’Reilly Raceway Park in Indianapolis, Ind. next Thursday night (July 1) and the fireworks on the race track might rival the spectacular fireworks show scheduled later in the evening, presented by Circle City Pyrotechnics.

USAC AMSOIL National Sprint car racing gets under way at 7:30 pm and Hmiel will try to add to his already-impressive 2010 resume in the 30-lap feature event on the .686-mile paved oval. The fireworks spectacular will immediately follow the Sprint car feature.

Hmiel is the only driver this year to post victories in USAC Silver Crown, National Sprint Car and National Midget competition and won the USAC AMSOIL Sprint race at ORP on June 10. His victories at Hickory, N.C. (Midget, March 24), ORP (Sprint, June 10) and the Indiana State Fairgrounds (Silver Crown, May 28) put him in select company. Previous drivers who accomplished the single-season feat were Bobby Santos III, Jerry Coons Jr., Tracy Hines, Josh Wise, Bud Kaeding, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Bobby East, J.J. Yeley, Jay Drake, Ryan Newman, Tony Elliott, Dave Steele, Dave Darland, Kenny Irwin Jr., Mike Bliss, Jack Hewitt, Rick Hood, Ken Schrader, Ron Shuman, Rich Vogler, Pancho Carter and Tom Bigelow.

Hmiel ranks ninth in the latest point standings, posting five “top-10” finishes so far this year. He also ranks fifth in the Silver Crown standings and 12th in the Midgets.

Jerry Coons Jr. will try to extend the Dynamics, Inc. Racing Team’s all-time series victory record in Thursday’s race. The team has 76 career wins and they finished second to Hmiel on June 10. Series point leader Levi Jones will try to improve on his June 10 performance which left him with a 12th-place finish.

Tickets for Thursday’s race are $20 for adults, $10 for youths and kids under 12 are free. For more information regarding the race and tickets, visit www.usacracing.com or call 317-247-5151.

MIDGETS RETURN TO BURLINGTON AFTER 37 YEAR HIATUS! HINES, KUHN SHARE “INDIANA MIDGET WEEK” TITLE; ALL 5 INDIANA MIDGET WEEK RACES PRODUCE DIFFERENT WINNERS!

It’s been 37 years, but the USAC Mopar National Midget Series returns to 34 Raceway in Burlington, Iowa this Saturday for a “doubleheader” racing program also featuring the USAC AMSOIL National Sprint cars.

Tommy Astone won the last USAC Midget race at Burlington in 1973. Bryan Clauson of Noblesville, Ind. will lead this year’s contingent into Burlington with a 62-point lead over Tracy Hines in the latest series points.

Hines, of New Castle, Ind., and Brad Kuhn of Avon, Ind. are the 2010 co-champions of USAC’s Indiana Midget Week. Kuhn won Sunday night’s 30-lap race at the Kokomo Speedway and tied Hines with 284 points to share the championship. Kuhn led all 30 laps in his Rotondo Weirich/Champion Brands Beast/Fontana to beat Brad Sweet, Bryan Clauson, Darren Hagen and Hines to the checkered flag.

Hines led all but the first two laps of Saturday night’s 30-lapper at the Lawrenceburg Speedway in his Parker Machinery/Turbines, Inc. Spike/Toyota. Clauson finished second ahead of Jerry Coons Jr., Brad Loyet and Dave Darland. Sweet flipped on lap two of the feature but was uninjured. Brent Beauchamp flipped during qualifying and was taken to a local hospital for examination.

Shane Cottle of Kokomo, Ind. won Friday night's 30-lap USAC Mopar National Midget race at the Bloomington Speedway. His piloted the Lucas Oil Products/John Stewart Motorsports Beast/Chevy. Hines led the first four laps and finished second. Clauson finished third ahead of Sweet and Steve Buckwalter. Six drivers flipped during the feature but there were no driver injuries.

Sweet, of Grass Valley, Calif., led the last 12 laps to win Thursday night’s 30-lap Indiana Midget Week feature at Lincoln Park Speedway in his Kasey Kahne Racing/Mike Curb Ollie’s Bargain Outlet/Auto Value Spike/Speedway Mopar. Sweet trailed Hagen for 18 laps, then took over and beat Shane Cottle to the checkered flag. Hagen finished third, followed by Kuhn and Buckwalter.

Buckwalter, of Royersford, Pa., the current ARDC Midget Series point leader, won Wednesday night’s 2010 “Indiana Midget Week” opener at Gas City I-69 Speedway, officially leading all 30 laps in his Buckwalter’s Roofing/VRP Shocks Elite/Chevy. Sweet finished second ahead of Kuhn, Bobby East and fast qualifier Clauson. Thomas Meseraull had originally led laps 1-4 and finished second but his car failed to pass post-race technical inspection and was disqualified.

The Indiana Midget Week races were “special events” on the 2010 USAC/SMRS Great Plains Midget calendar. The USAC/SMRS series resumes August 1 at Osborn, Neb.

SPRINT CARS MAKE BURLINGTON DEBUT SATURDAY

The AMSOIL USAC National Sprint Car Series will join the USAC Mopar National Midgets for Saturday night’s “doubleheader” at 34 Raceway in Burlington, Iowa, marking the first time the series has competed at the 3/8-mile dirt oval.

Damion Gardner of Concord, Calif. sits atop the series standings after early-season success included four wins in his first five starts! He’s only 12 points ahead of Levi Jones, however, after Jones won three of the four recent “Eastern Storm” features.

Jones is trying to become only the second four-time champion in USAC National Sprint Car history, matching the feat of Steve Butler (1986-87-88-90).

The last USAC National race at Burlington was held in 1973, a Midget race won by Tommy Astone. The AMSOIL USAC National Sprint cars last raced in Iowa May 22 when Bobby Santos III won at Iowa Speedway. The last USAC dirt-track Sprint race in Iowa was last August when Jesse Hockett won at Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa.

Bryan Clauson, Jerry Coons Jr. and Chris Windom round out the “top-five” in the latest series standings. All three have been victorious this season. Tracy Hines, who shared this past week’s “Indiana Midget Week” crown with Brad Kuhn, is sixth in the latest points.

WESTERN FOCUSES AT WATSONVILLE & STOCKTON; LIGUORI, RANKINE #1 AT SPEEDROME; SCHROCK, FARLEY TOPS AT ORANGE SHOW

USAC’s Western Ford Focus and Young Guns series continue this week with races at Watsonville, Calif. and Stockton, Calif. Friday’s racing at Ocean Speedway in Watsonville includes the AMSOIL USAC/CRA Sprint cars and Saturday’s races are at Stockton 99 Speedway.

Joe Liguori of Tampa, Fla. and Ross Rankine of Willard, Ohio earned USAC Ford Focus and Young Guns feature victories respectively Wednesday at the Indianapolis (Ind.) Speedrome on “Mel Kenyon Night.” Liguori emerged the winner of the 40-lap Ford Focus race in his Pit Stop BBQ/C & R Racing Beast, taking the lead from Jake Blackhurst and Tyler Cottongim in turn three on the final lap! Cottongim led the first 39 laps but slipped behind Blackhurst at the start of the final lap.

5 “INDIANA MIDGET WEEK” EVENTS BEGIN WEDNESDAY; CLAUSON WINS ‘KEVIN DOTY CLASSIC,” RAIN HALTS MOBERLY

Bryan Clauson of Noblesville, Ind. opens defense of his “Indiana Midget Week” championship Wednesday as the five-race series kicks off at Gas City I-69 Speedway. Thursday night’s venue is Lincoln Park Speedway in Putnamville, while Bloomington Speedway hosts Friday night’s race. The series visits Lawrenceburg Speedway Saturday night before concluding Sunday night at Kokomo Speedway.

Clauson caught leader Brad Kuhn on lap 17 and led the final 24 laps to win Friday night’s 40-lap “Kevin Doty Classic” at Tri-City Speedway. Clauson piloted the Parker Stone/Esslinger Spike to the victory over Kuhn, Jerry Coons Jr., Bobby East and Davey Ray.

Henry Clarke led the opening lap but hit the wall in turn one on lap two. Tracy Hines then led for two laps before encountering mechanical problems. Kuhn traded the lead with Darren Hagen for two laps but Hagen got tangled with a lapped car and hit the wall in turn one and failed to finish.

Clauson continues to lead the USAC Mopar National Midget standings. Friday’s race was co-sanctioned by POWRi and also awarded points toward the USAC/SMRS Great Plains Midget title. Brad Loyet of Sunset Hills, Mo., who finished ninth at Pontoon Beach, remains the leader in the USAC/SMRS Midget standings. The “Indiana Midget Week” races all award USAC/SMRS points as well.

Rain forced postponement of Saturday night's scheduled USAC/SMRS Great Plains Midget race at 24 Raceway. Track and USAC/SMRS officials are hopeful of rescheduling the event and will announce a new date when firm.

Former champions of “Indiana Midget Week” include Shane Cottle (2005 and 2006), Jerry Coons Jr. (2007), Tracy Hines (2008) and Clauson last year. Coons continues to pursue the 134th USAC National feature victory for car owners Wilke-Pak Racers of Milwaukee, Wisc., which would break the tie for the all-time USAC lead with Steve Lewis.

Clauson is the winningest driver in “Indiana Midget Week” history, with three wins, including the last two in 2009.

Bryan Clauson of Noblesville, Ind. passed JoJo Helberg on lap 22 and led the rest of the way to win Saturday night’s 30-lap USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car race at Berlin Raceway in Marne, Mich. Bobby East finished second ahead of Gardner, Tanner Swanson and Helberg. Clauson was the night’s fastest qualifier in his Rotondo Weirich/Benic Enterprises Maxim/Gaerte Chevy. Jacob Wilson led the first five laps, East led the next seven and Helberg led nine before yielding to Clauson.

Shane Hmiel of Pleasant Garden, N.C. led the final 19 laps to win USAC’s “Thursday Night Thunder” AMSOIL National Sprint Car feature at O’Reilly Raceway Park in his Rotondo Weirich/Benic Enterprises Maxim/ITI Performance machine.

Jason Leffler’s bid for the USAC ORP “Triple Crown” ended on lap two as he pulled into the pits with mechanical problems after posting the night’s fastest qualifying time. Tanner Swanson, winner of the recent “Night Before the 500” Midget race at ORP, was involved in a lap-27 tangle with Clauson and did not finish in the top-10.

SCHEDULE RE-ALIGNMENT FOR EASTERN/CAROLINA FORD FOCUS INVOLVES DATES AT CONCORD MOTOR SPEEDWAY

The upcoming USAC Eastern/Carolina Ford Focus “Midweek Mayhem” series at Concord Motorsport Park in North Carolina has been revamped and significant changes in the event dates are a result.

Races originally scheduled at the 1/4-mile paved oval June 16, 23, 30 and July 7 have been removed from the calendar and replaced by a six-race series of Wednesday night races beginning July 21 and ending August 25. The dates in between are July 28, August 4, 11 and 18.

The new dates reflect the Carolina Series’ efforts to mirror the pro-forma established by the Indianapolis Speedrome’s weekly Regional racing series which similarly includes six Wednesday night races. Plans are also being formulated for possible involvement of the USAC Mopar .25 Midget Series in the weekly Concord programs.

Included in this slate are the Eastern/Carolina Ford Focus and Young Guns series and an open test day is expected to be announced soon for sometime at the end of this month.

This marks the third year for the Carolina Wednesday night events. The goal is to build a bigger and better series for series participants and the Wednesday night scheduling provides an arena of mid-week family fun for all involved.

LEFFLER WILL TRY FOR ORP “TRIPLE CROWN” THURSDAY AS USAC SPRINT CARS RETURN FOR “THURSDAY NIGHT THUNDER”

NASCAR veteran and former USAC Midget and Silver Crown Champion Jason Leffler returns to his roots again Thursday night when the USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car Series makes its first O’Reilly Raceway Park at Indianapolis appearance in three years.

Leffler will try to become only the eighth driver in history to accomplish the USAC ORP “Triple Crown,” since he already owns USAC Silver Crown and Midget victories at the storied oval. He will pilot a Keith Kunz Motorsports Beast/Speedway Mopar in the event, the first of two for the USAC Sprint cars at the Indianapolis oval this summer. The series returns to ORP on Thursday night, July 1.

Leffler last competed in a Sprint Car at ORP in 1999 and finished fourth. He earned the last of his three USAC National Midget championships that season. He last competed in a USAC Sprint car in 2003 at the “Turkey Night Grand Prix” in Irwindale, Calif. and finished fifth.

Leffler hopes to join Dave Steele, Mike Bliss, Tony Stewart, Kenny Irwin Jr., Bobby East, Jim Keeker and Bobby Santos III in the exclusive ORP “Triple Crown” club. All have won in all of USAC’s premier series at the .686 mile paved oval. Santos won the last two ORP Sprint races in 2006 and 2007.

Levi Jones of Olney, Ill. leads the current USAC AMSOIL National Sprint standings entering Thursday’s race. He is 42 points ahead of Damion Gardner. Jones won three consecutive races in Pennsylvania and New Jersey last week and fell inches short of winning a fourth straight Friday night at Minersville, Pa.

JULY 24 USAC “DOUBLEHEADER” AT LINCOLN PARK

The USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Cars and Midwest Ford Focuses are headed for Lincoln Park Speedway July 24 for a unique “doubleheader” on the 5/16-mile dirt track.

“ThenightbeforetheBrickyard.com” racing program marks only the third time the National Sprint Cars and Ford Focuses have shared an event but will not be the first time either has competed on the Lincoln Park oval. A total of 20 Sprint races have been held there and a pair of Ford Focus races have been contested there.

Dave Darland won the last USAC Sprint race there in 2005 and Josh Lakatos was the winner the last time the Ford Focuses were there, in 2003. USAC Triple Crown Champion Jerry Coons Jr. also won a Ford Focus feature at Putnamville in 2003.

The Sprint race will be a 40-lapper, while the Ford Focuses will compete in a 20-lapper.

Race organizer Joe Spiker is excited about the return of USAC to the track which has hosted 38 previous USAC events, beginning with Johnny Parsons’ Midget win in 1979. “This is the beginning of what we hope to be a renewed commitment between Lincoln Park and USAC,” says Spiker, owner of Spiker Promotions. “We look forward to an expansion of our USAC activities as we move into the future.”

The “Billy Marvel Classic” Sprint race rained out at Lincoln Park on May 1 has been rescheduled for September 10.

WYSONG TRIES TO ADD TO UTAH VICTORY TOTAL SATURDAY AT RMR

Jimmy Wysong of Salt Lake City, Utah hopes to add to his all-time leading total of 17 USAC wins in the Beehive State when the USAC Young Automotive Rocky Mountain Sprint Car Series resumes at Rocky Mountain Raceways in the Utah capital this Saturday.

Wysong’s nearest pursuer in the all-time list is former series titlist Jim Waters, who has 12. Waters, ranks third behind the retired Dave Fitzgerald, who has 13 career USAC wins in Utah, but Waters is second in the 2010 series standings and is also a strong threat for victory Saturday.

Wysong won the series opener and came right back with a second-place finish behind Tony Hunt in race two. Waters has a second and a third in this year’s two races.

Waters and Wysong have been the fastest qualifiers so far this year, Waters taking top honors at the opener and Wysong the best at race two. Wysong’s point lead over Waters entering Saturday’s race is 15 points.

360s “OFF” THIS WEEK, RETURN JUNE 19 at BAKERSFIELD; HAMBLIN 2ND LADY TO WIN A USAC DIRT SPRINT FEATURE

The USAC West Coast 360 Sprint Car series takes a week off while preparing for a June 19 appearance at Bakersfield (Calif.) Speedway. Craig Stidham continues to lead the standings, 46 points ahead of Davey Pombo after Pombo finished second and Stidham sixth in last Saturday night’s 30-lapper at Giant Speedway in Hanford, Calif.

Justyne Hamblin of Hanford became the first USAC female feature winner since last August with her 30-lap USAC West Coast 360 Sprint win Saturday night at Giant Speedway in her hometown.

On lap 25 she regained it in her JH Motorsports/Tachi Palace Hotel & Casino/Speedtech Chassis Chevy and she led the final six laps to beat Murphy, T.J. Smith, Danny Faria Jr. and Davey Pombo.

Hamblin is only the second female to win a USAC Sprint race on a dirt track. Kaylene Verville was the first when she won a New Mexico/Arizona Sprint race at Thunder Raceway in Show Low, Ariz. in May of 2002. Hamblin’s victory solidified her fifth-place ranking in the current series points.

Bragg and Cardey rank ninth and 10th respectively in the new series standings, while Spencer enjoys a 14-point lead over Danny Sheridan, whose best Perris finish this season came in April, a second. He also has a pair of thirds at the half-mile dirt oval where he owns five career USAC wins.

“KEVIN DOTY CLASSIC” TRIES AGAIN FRIDAY AT TRI-CITY; SMRS MIDGETS VISIT 24 RACEWAY SATURDAY

The inaugural “Kevin Doty Classic” unfolds Friday at Tri-City Speedway in Pontoon Beach, Ill. and the event will feature the best of the USAC Mopar National, USAC/SMRS Graet Plains and POWRi Midget Series. The 2010 USAC/SMRS series continues Saturday at 24 Raceway in Moberly, Mo.

Brad Kuhn of Avon, Ind. and Brad Loyet of Sunset Hills, Mo. are the defending series champions entering this week’s races. Loyet is currently atop the USAC/SMRS and POWRi standings, while Bryan Clauson is the current leader in the USAC Mopar National Midget points.

Friday’s race salutes the memory of the late Milan, Ill. driver (Doty) who won 1984 and 1985 MARA and Skoal Dash championships, the 1994 BMARA title, 47 BMARA victories, five Pepsi Midget Nationals, the 1994 Hut Hundred and Belleville Midget Nationals, and seven USAC Sprint races. Doty met an untimely death in August of 2005.

Clauson holds a 21-point lead over Sweet in the latest Mopar National standings, while Loyet’s USAC/SMRS lead over Matt Sherrell stands at 94 points.

Jerry Coons Jr., seventh in the 2010 USAC Mopar National points, could be among favorites at Pontoon Beach. He won the 2008 DuPont Gold Crown Midget Nationals there and a victory Friday would put his team, Wilke-Pak Racers of Milwaukee, Wisc., on top of the all-time USAC National feature victory list with 134 total wins.

THURSDAY NIGHT THUNDER AT ORP; BERLIN SPRINTS SATURDAY; WINDOM HALTS JONES’ EASTERN STORM “SWEEP”

The first of two scheduled “Thursday Night Thunder” USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car Series events at O’Reilly Raceway Park in Indianapolis, Ind. kicks off a busy week for USAC participants. The series returns to ORP July 1. Thursday’s race will be the first for the USAC Sprint Cars at ORP since Bobby Santos III’s victory in 2007.

Saturday night, the series makes its first Michigan appearance in 10 years when it returns to Berlin Raceway in Marne, Mich. It will be the first USAC Sprint race at Berlin since Page Jones’ victory in 1994. The USAC Regional and USAC/WOMS Midgets share the billing Saturday at Berlin.

Levi Jones of Olney, Ill. is the new series point leader after his “near-sweep” in last week’s four “Eastern Storm” events in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Jones won races at Bechtelsville and New Oxford, Pa. and New Egypt, N.J., then finished second to Chris Windom by inches in the finale at Minersville, Pa.

Windom, of Canton, Ill. finally found the winners circle Friday night at Big Diamond Raceway as he beat Jones to the checkered flag by .028 seconds to win the final race in the 2010 USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car “Eastern Storm” series. Windom passed Jones on lap 38 and led the final three laps in his Jeff Walker Racing Hoosier Tire/Jam-It-In Storage Maxim/Claxton. Jones had passed Ricky Williams on Lap 36 after Williams had led the first 35 laps. Tracy Hines ended up third, ahead of Williams and fast qualifier Bryan Clauson. Windom’s victory was his first in 68 career series starts after six runner-up finishes!

Jones wound up as the champion of the "Racer's Challenge" presented by RW and our Partners as the top point scorer in the four Eastern Storm events.

Jones won Thursday night’s 40-lap feature at New Egypt Speedway, the first USAC Sprint race in the Garden State in 32 years! Jones trailed Chase Stockon for the first 22 laps, then put his Tony Stewart Racing Bass Pro Shops/Armor All Maxim/Kistler Chevy into the lead on lap 23 and never looked back. He led the final 18 laps to beat Windom, Clauson, Dave Darland and Stockon. Jones was the fastest qualifier for the third straight night!

At Lincoln Speedway in New Oxford, Pa. Wednesday, Jones passed Clauson on lap 31 and led the final 10 laps for the win. Windom took second ahead of Clauson, Johnny Mackison and Brian Montieth. Clauson led the first three laps, Damion Gardner led for eight and Clauson went back to the front for another 19 laps before Jones made the winning move.

Jones’ victory in Tuesday night’s 40-lap race at Grandview Speedway in Bechtelsville, Pa. came in the inaugural “Jesse Hockett Classic,” honoring the memory of the late driver who won last year’s Grandview feature and recently succumbed to injuries suffered in a shop accident. Jones trailed Windom for the first 28 laps, then traded the lead back and forth with Windom on laps 29, 30 and 31 before leading the final 10 laps. Clauson finished second ahead of Gardner, Windom and Darland. Drivers Caleb Armstrong, Jerry Coons Jr. and Shane Hmiel all flipped during the program and Armstrong was taken to a local hospital in Allentown for treatment of a mild concussion and bruised lungs.

HANFORD NEXT FOR STIDHAM & 360s; POINT LEADER WINS AT BAKERSFIELD

Giant Speedway in Hanford, Calif. hosts the next event for the USAC West Coast 360 Sprint cars and point leader Craig Stidham will aim for his fifth victory of the season when the series takes to the 3/8-mile dirt oval.

The Hanford track is the only one of the four comprising this year’s 360 schedule which has eluded Stidham’s victory lane presence. Craig has won at Tulare, Santa Maria and Bakersfield but Danny Faria Jr. was the winner at Hanford in March, a race in which Stidham finished sixth.

Stidham, of Fresno, Calif., scored his fourth victory of the 2010 season Saturday night, wheeling his Brad Johnson Trucking/KRC Safety Maxim/Downing to a 30-lap triumph at Bakersfield (Calif.) Speedway. Ricky Kirkbride led the first 14 laps before yielding to Stidham and eventually finished second. Justyne Hamblin, Albert Pombo and Davey Pombo rounded out the “top-five.”

David Cardey of Riverside, Calif. took advantage of a late-race restart to win Saturday night’s 30-lap “Salute to Indy” Amsoil USAC/CRA Sprint race at Perris Auto Speedway.

“KEVIN DOTY CLASSIC” JUNE 11 AT TRI-CITY SPEEDWAY; SWANSON ENDS CLAUSON’S “GRAND SLAM” BID IN “NIGHT BEFORE 500”

Bryan Clauson is the new point leader in the 2010 USAC Mopar National Midget Series standings after his second-place finish in last Saturday night’s 65th NOS Energy Drink “Night Before the 500” at O’Reilly Raceway Park in Indianapolis, Ind. Clauson holds a 21-point lead over Brad Sweet entering the June 11 “Kevin Doty Classic” co-sanctioned by POWRi at Tri-City Speedway in Pontoon Beach, Ill.

Tanner Swanson of Kingsburg, Calif. caught Clauson on the 32nd lap of Saturday night’s 50-lapper in Indianapolis and led the rest of the race in his F & F Mechanical Beast/Esslinger Ford. The victory ended Clauson’s bid for an unprecedented back-to-back-to-back-to-back sweep of the four major USAC Midget races with histories dating to pre-1980. Ironically, Tanner spun in turn two after taking the checkered flag!

Clauson, who had won the 2009 Belleville Midget Nationals, 2009 Turkey Night Grand Prix and 2010 Hut Hundred, finished second after leading 30 laps. Kody Swanson, Brad Kuhn and Sweet rounded out the "top-five" at the checkered flag. Daniel Bedford escaped injury when his car vaulted over the backstretch wall on the third lap of the race.

Damion Gardner of Concord, N.C. finished fourth in last Thursday’s 40th First Financial Bank “Tony Hulman Classic” presented by Budweiser and 500 Express at the Terre Haute (Ind.) Action Track and has a 24-point series lead over Jerry Coons Jr. in the AMSOIL USAC National Sprint points going into this week’s four “Eastern Storm” races in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

The series visits Grandview Speedway in Bechtelsville, Pa. Tuesday, Lincoln Speedway in New Oxford, Pa. Wednesday, New Egypt (N.J.) Speedway Thursday and Big Diamond Raceway in Minersville, Pa. Friday.

Coons, of Tucson, Ariz., scored a sensational victory in the “Tony Hulman Classic”. The victory came in a race which featured one of the most spectacular lead duels in USAC Sprint Car history and gave car owner Dynamics, Inc. of Milford, Ohio its record 76th victory. It also ended an epic battle between Coons and three-time race winner Levi Jones.

Jones, hoping to score a record fourth win in the race and third win in a row, led three different times for six laps but Coons made a daring pass for the lead on lap 28 which eventually sealed the victory in his Hoffman Auto Racing F5/Gaerte. Jones finished second ahead of Dave Darland, who came from 19th starting position in the expanded 26-car field.

Gardner and Tracy Hines, who also figured in the lead battle at times, took fourth and fifth respectively. Coons ended up leading 24 of the 30 laps for the win.

He finished second to Shane Hmiel in Friday night’s 58th Hoosier Hundred at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in Indianapolis and has an 18-poiint lead over Jerry Coons Jr. going into a July 8 race at Illiana Motor Speedway in Schererville, Ind. Coons was third in Friday’s race.

Shane Hmiel of Pleasant Garden, N.C. won Friday night’s 100-miler on the one-mile Indianapolis dirt oval. The win in the Rotondo Weirich/Champion Brands Beast/Toyota was Shane’s first ever on dirt! He was leading when the race was stopped by a competition red flag after lap 51 but was among the first eight leaders who all changed right rear tires and had to restart back in the field. He actually ended up 12th in the re-alignment but ran down leader Russ Gamester on lap 77 and held on the rest of the way for the victory.

Kody Swanson took fourth and Dave Darland was fifth. Levi Jones started on the pole and eventually finished 11th.

On the lap 52 restart Shane Hollingsworth ended up as the leader but three laps later Gamester went to the front on another restart and he led until Hmiel took over. Gamester eventually retired from competition on lap 95. Bobby East escaped injury in a flip on lap 10.

TULARE HOSTS ITS “SALUTE TO INDY” SUNDAY FEATURING THE USAC/CRA SPRINT CARS

The AMSOIL USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series continues Sunday night at the Gropetti Automotive Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, Calif. and the series point lead could be up for grabs in the track’s “Salute to Indy.”

Entering Saturday night’s “Salute to Indy” program at Perris, Calif., defending series champion Mike Spencer held a slim 12-point lead over Danny Sheridan. Spencer missed the most recent feature event, at Perris last month, due to a heat race accident, while Sheridan finished second in that race to close the gap.

Spencer posted a third-place finish at Tulare last November, while Sheridan failed to crack the “top-10” at Tulare in 2009.

In 2009, Matt Mitchell, Garrett Hansen and Jon Stanbrough all posted USAC/CRA Sprint wins at the Tulare oval. The wins by Mitchell and Stanbrough were their first in USAC/CRA racing.

Sunday’s events at Tulare include an on-track and off-track display of vintage supermodifieds.

Wednesday night’s Indianapolis Speedrome racing events include the Regional Midgets, Midwest Ford Focus Midgets, Midwest Young Guns and the Mopar .25 Midgets.

For Indianapolis 500 starter John Andretti, Wednesday is sort of a “homecoming,” as he returns to the scene of his 1983 USAC Regional Midget championship as the honored guest of USAC and the Speedrome. Andretti is the first of six former USAC Speedrome champions to be honored in 2010.

Dalton Armstrong of New Castle, Ind. leads the 2010 USAC Regional Midget standings following his recent victory at Columbus, Ohio, while Joe Liguopri of Tampa, Fla. leads the Midwest Ford Focus standings. He will be among top favorites for victory in Wednesday night’s events.

WESTERN MIDGETS “OFF” UNTIL JUNE 26 AT BAKERSFIELD; JOSETT GETS #1 IN 30-LAP VENTURA FEATURE

Cory Kruseman of Ventura, Calif. continues to lead the 2010 USAC Western Midget Series points, although he fell just short in his bid for a Ventura feature victory Saturday. He is 11 points ahead of Alex Schutte in the standings as the series is on hiatus until resuming June 26 at Bakersfield (Calif.) Speedway.

Robby Josett of Agua Dulce, Calif. caught Kruseman on lap 28 and led the final three laps to win Saturday night’s 30-lap race at Ventura Raceway. Kruseman led the first 27 laps and finished second ahead of Schutte, Johnathon Henry and Mike English.

Stidham has won three of the eight races contested so far this season. Despite three seconds and two thirds, Murphy is still seeking his first 2010 victory.

Pombo’s 2010 record includes a win, a second, a third and two fourths. Pombo’s win came at Bakersfield ion March.

Matt Mitchell won last year’s “Salute to Indy,” to date his only series triumph. He is currently fifth in the series standings.

WESTERN SPRINT WARS RESUME MONDAY AT ROCKY MOUNTAIN RACEWAYS; WYSONG BACK IN VICTORY LANE AT SLC

Tony Hunt and Jimmy Wysong will lead their respective USAC Sprint Car series to Monday night’s Young Chevrolet 100 at Rocky Mountain Raceways in the Utah capital.

Former USAC/SLVRA Young Automotive Rocky Mountain Sprint Car Champion Wysong of South Jordan, Utah returned to victory lane at RMR Saturday night, winning the 40-lap feature at the Salt Lake City oval. Wysong passed Ray Bergener on lap four and led the rest of the way to beat fast qualifier Jim Waters, Luis Ramos III, Mike Murgoitio and Eric Barlow.

Saturday’s race marked Wysong’s return after a three-year-hiatus. Ironically, Wysong’s only 2007 RMR start resulted in a similar feature victory!

Hunt’s USAC AMSOIL Western Sprint Car point lead over Shauna Hogg stands at 45 points, while Wysong’s Young Automotive Rocky Mountain point lead is only seven over former series champion Jim Waters.

65th NOS ENERGY DRINK “NIGHT BEFORE THE 500” SATURDAY AT ORP; SANTOS GRABS 30-LAP MIDGET RACE AT IOWA SPEEDWAY

One of America’s longest-running auto racing traditions is renewed Saturday night as O’Reilly Raceway Park in Indianapolis, Ind. hosts the 65th running of the NOS Energy Drink “Night Before the 500” USAC Mopar National Midget race.

Former “Night Before the 500” champ Bobby East of Brownsburg, Ind. enters Saturday’s race as the series point leader, 28 ahead of Bryan Clauson, who stands on the verge of USAC history. Clauson, with a win Saturday, would complete an unprecedented consecutive sweep of all four of the USAC Midget races with tradition dating to pre-1980. He won last year’s Belleville Midget Nationals and Turkey Night Grand Prix, then added this year’s Hut Hundred. Only East and Jason Leffler can claim victories in all four but nobody has ever won all four back-to-back!

Bobby Santos III of Franklin, Mass. led all but one lap to win Saturday’s 30-lap Casey’s General Stores USAC Triple Crown Pride of Iowa feature event at Iowa Speedway in Newton, Iowa. Santos’ victory in the USAC Mopar National Midget race on the 7/8-mile paved oval came in the Santos Motor Sports/K & N Air Filters Beast/Esslinger Ford. He led laps 1-4, then yielded to Darren Hagen for lap five, but returned to the lead the next lap and led the rest of the way for the victory.

Brad Sweet, driving for car owners Kasey Kahne & Mike Curb, finished second, followed by Hagen, East and Henry Clarke, East came from 20th starting position! Santos won the pole with the fastest lap during qualifications.

Saturday’s “Night Before the 500” program also includes USF2000 and Star Mazda competition and the Midget race is 50 laps around ORP’s challenging .686-mile paved oval.

Defending “Night Before the 500” winner Chuck Gurney Jr. is expected to compete Saturday, trying to become the first back-to-back race winner since Kasey Kahne in 2000 and 2001. He was 15th in Saturday’s race at Iowa Speedway.

40TH “TONY HULMAN CLASSIC” THURSDAY AT TERRE HAUTE; CLAUSON TAKES 50-LAP IOWA SPRINT; HMIEL SETS WORLD RECORD

Levi Jones of Olney, Ill. trails Damion Gardner by 34 points in the new USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car series standings, but Thursday’s 40th First National Bank “Tony Hulman Classic” presented by Budweiser and 500 Express at the Terre Haute (Ind.) Action Track offers Jones a spot in the record books. A victory would make him the first four-time winner of the event and would give him four wins in six years!

Jones finished fifth in Saturday’s 50-lap race at Iowa Speedway in Newton, Iowa and is only one point ahead of Tracy Hines in the latest rankings. Hines was fourth at Iowa, while Gardner, the point leader, was seventh.

Bryan Clauson of Noblesville, Ind. continued his winning ways in USAC-sanctioned racing Saturday at Iowa Speedway, leading the final five laps to win the Casey’s General Stores USAC Triple Crown Pride of Iowa USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car 50-lapper at the 7/8-mile paved oval. Clauson caught Bobby Santos on lap 46 and led to the checkered flag in his Rotondo Weirich/Benic Enterprises Maxim/Gaerte Chevy.

Santos, who had won the preceding 30-lap USAC Midget race, led 12 laps but finished second, ahead of Jerry Coons Jr., Hines and Jones.

Shane Hmiel, who broke the World’s Sprint Car qualifying record with a qualifying lap of 146.444 mph to win the pole in his Rotondo Weirich/Benic Enterprises Beast/ITI Performance, led 33 laps but lost an engine in the closing laps of the race.

In addition to Jones, former “Tony Hulman Classic” Champs expected to return for Thursday’s Terre Haute race include Jon Stanbrough (2002 and 2007), Daron Clayton (2006) and Hines (2001).

HOOSIER HUNDRED CELEBRATES 50 YEARS SINCE FOYT’S FIRST WIN; FIKE TAKES IOWA SPEEDWAY’S 100-LAPPER

Friday night celebrates the 50th anniversary of A.J. Foyt’s initial “Hoosier Hundred” victory in 1960. Foyt ended up winning the historic race six times! Friday, Dave Darland will try to score his fourth win in the 100-mile classic at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. Only Foyt has won more, while Al Unser also has four.

Darland won the race in 1995, 1996 and 2004 and will pilot the familiar #56 Jarvis Enterprises/Plastic Express Beast/Foxco entered by Foxco Motor Sports. In 12 previous Hoosier Hundred starts, Darland has three wins, a second and two fourths. His second came in last year’s race behind winner Shane Hollingsworth.

Friday’s race continues a tradition begun in 1953 when Bob Sweikert won the inaugural Hoosier Hundred. The ensuing years have produced a who’s-who list of winners, which includes Indianapolis 500 winners Sweikert, Jimmy Bryan, Rodger Ward, Foyt, Parnelli Jones, Mario Andretti and Unser.

Defending three-time USAC Silver Crown Champion Bud Kaeding of Campbell, Calif. leads the Silver Crown standings entering Friday night’s race. Kaeding, trying to become the first four-time champion in series history, has five Hoosier Hundred starts and has never finished worse than eighth.

Kaeding finished third in Saturday’s 100-lap race at Iowa Speedway in Newton, Iowa, a race won by A.J. Fike.

Fike, of Galesburg, Ill., scored his first career USAC Silver Crown victory Saturday, winning the 100-lap Casey’s General Stores USAC Triple Crown Pride of Iowa race on the 7/8-mile paved oval. Fike passed Shane Hmiel on lap 16 and led the rest of the way in his Liberty Village/McGladrey & Pullen Beast/Foxco. Kody Swanson outduelled new series point leader Kaeding to finish second. Hmiel took fourth ahead of Jerry Coons Jr.

Bobby East was the fastest qualifier but failed to finish the 100-lapper after leading the first two laps.

Fike’s victory makes him and his brother Aaron the only brothers to win in USAC’s Silver Crown series. Aaron won at Richmond, Va. In 2001.

FIKE GETS 1ST SILVER CROWN WIN AT IOWA SPEEDWAY

Newton, Iowa…….A.J. Fike of Galesburg, Ill. scored his first career USAC Silver Crown victory Saturday at Iowa Speedway, winning the 100-lap Casey’s General Stores USAC Triple Crown Pride of Iowa race on the 7/8-mile paved oval. Fike passed Shane Hmiel on lap 16 and led the rest of the way in his Liberty Village/McGladrey & Pullen Beast/Foxco. Kody Swanson outduelled new series point leader Bud Kaeding to finish second. Hmiel took fourth ahead of Jerry Coons Jr. Bobby East was the fastest qualifier but failed to finish the 100-lapper after leading the first two laps. Kaeding, hoping to become USAC’s first four-time Silver Crown champion, leads Fike by nine points in the new standings going into next Friday’s “Hoosier Hundred” in Indianapolis, Ind.

JONES HOPES FOR RECORD 4TH “TONY HULMAN CLASSIC” WIN

The “Tony Hulman Classic” victory lane at the Terre Haute (Ind.) Action Track is a destination every USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car driver wants to reach. Only two drivers have been able to get there three times in the previous 39 runnings – Levi Jones and Cary Faas.

Jones, of Olney, Ill., could stand alone May 27, if he can capture his fourth title. Not only would he be the first four-time winner, he would also become the first to win the race three years in a row, which would give him four wins in the last six years!

He won the 2005 classic for the 2B Racing team, leading the final 13 laps. In 2008 he also led the final 13 laps to put the Tony Stewart Racing team in victory lane. He repeated with the Stewart team last year, leading all 30 laps, the first time a driver had led every lap since J.J. Yeley did it in 2003!

Jones is also trying to join Steve Butler as the only four-time USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car Champions in the club’s history. He enters this weekend’s race at Newton, Iowa, the last before Terre Haute, second in the standings to Damion Gardner.

Jones could be facing a field which includes four more previous “Tony Hulman Classic” Champions, Dave Darland, Tracy Hines, Daron Clayton and Jon Stanbrough, who will try to join Jones and Faas in the three-time winners club. Stanbrough also has a pair of second-place finishes in this race.

Last year’s race proved to be a preview of the “Indiana Sprint Week” championship showdown, with Jones and Bryan Clauson finishing 1-2, just as they did in the final 2010 ISW standings, just one point apart!

3 HOOSIER HUNDRED DRIVERS EYE JACK HEWITT’S ALL-TIME SILVER CROWN RECORD

Jack Hewitt has started more USAC Silver Crown races than any driver in history – 162 – but that is expected to be challenged this year. Three drivers are closing in on Jack’s all-time mark and all could be threats to win the May 28 “Hoosier Hundred” at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in Indianapolis.

Brian Tyler of Mount Pleasant, N.C., Dave Darland of Lincoln, Ind. and Russ Gamester of Peru, Ind. each have 157 career starts. Tyler boasts 67 consecutive Silver Crown starts, which is utterly amazing considering the next highest consecutive start total belongs to Jerry Coons Jr. at 22!

The May 28 race would mark Gamester’s 15th consecutive Hoosier Hundred start (18 overall), while Darland is targeting his 13th start and Tyler his 12th. Darland won his first two Hoosier Hundreds (1995 and 1996) and added another victory in 2004. Gamester’s record includes a second in 1999 and thirds in 1991 and 2005. Tyler’s best Hoosier Hundred finishes have been a sixth in 2003 and a seventh in 2006.

Hewitt remains the winningest driver in series history, with 23, including the 1986, 1988 and 1989 Hoosier Hundreds.

The 2010 Hoosier Hundred will be unlike any of the preceding races at the Indiana State Fairgrounds, with a built-in intermission after lap 51. The restart after lap 51 will be “double file” which should add some last-half spectacular competition for race fans. A red flag after lap 35 and prior to lap 51 would replace the scheduled red flag at lap 51.

A victory by Darland would make him a four-time race winner. Only A.J. Foyt won more Hoosier Hundreds – six!

Tyler and Gamester have both enjoyed success on the dirt miles, each winning both the “Tony Bettenhausen 100” at Springfield, Ill. and the “Ted Horn 100” at DuQuoin, Ill.

CLAUSON GOES FOR MIDGET “GRAND SLAM” AT ORP

Bryan Clauson of Noblesville, Ind. stands on the virge of a USAC Midget “Grand Slam” as he prepares for the May 29 “Night Before the 500” classic at O’Reilly Raceway Park at Indianapolis, Ind.

Clauson has strung together back-to-back-to-back victories in three races with tradition dating to pre-1980 and could add the fourth jewel with a May 29 win at ORP.

Last May Clauson won the prestigious Belleville (Kansas) Midget Nationals, then added the “Turkey Night Grand Prix” at Irwindale, Calif. in November. This past May 8 Clauson won the “Hut Hundred” at Tri-State Speedway in Haubstadt, Ind. Nobody has ever won all four of these events in succession.

Only two drivers can lay claim to victories in all four races. They are Bobby East and Jason Leffler. Clauson will have to contend with East on May 29. East won the “Night Before the 500” at ORP in 2008.

In 2004 East nearly swept all four races! He won Belleville, the Hut Hundred and Turkey Night and finished third in the Night Before the 500. Leffler’s victories in these classic events spanned 1997 to 2005!

“I ran second last year and I look forward to going back this year,” says Clauson, who came back to win the Midget race at ORP last July. “It would be awesome to add this race to my resume. ORP is a big fast racy place and always offers great racing for the competitors and the fans.”

East has posted two feature wins and two seconds already this year to assume the early USAC Mopar National Midget point lead going into this weekend’s race at Newton, Iowa, the last before ORP.

Clauson has six feature wins and a second dating back to last year’s “Indiana Midget Week.” Oh, Clauson also won that title too! He’ll pilot the Toyota/Nos Energy Drink Beast/TRD Toyota entry for Corey Tucker Racing/Keith Kunz Motorsports and BCI in the May 29 classic.

“BOOT HILL SHOWDOWN” FRIDAY-SATURDAY AT DODGE CITY

The 2010 USAC/SMRS Great Plains Midget Series resumes this weekend with back-to-back events at Dodge City (Kans.) Raceway Park.

Brad Loyet, who won last year’s inaugural USAC/SMRS title, has a 22-point lead over Don Droud Jr. going into the Dodge City races. Zach Daum, USAC’s 2009 Mopar National Midget “Rookie of the Year,” is third in the standings, only 32 back.

The Friday and Saturday night “Boot Hill Showdown” races continue a tradition of USAC racing in the Sunflower state which dates back to a 1957 race at Wichita, Kans. won by Bob Tattersall.

Loyet scored a pair of USAC/SMRS Midget feature wins last year in Kansas, taking back-to-back races at Beloit.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN SPRINTS TRY AGAIN SATURDAY AT RMR

The Young Automotive USAC Rocky Mountain Sprint Car Series returns to Rocky Mountain Raceways this Saturday night to try to complete its first feature event of the 2010 campaign.

Rain forced a halt in the scheduled May 1 events, but former champion Jimmy Wysong, returning after a hiatus, posted the fastest qualifying time that night and as a result finds himself with a one-point lead in the standings.

Former series champion Ryan Burdett is currently second in the points and defending champion Mike Murgoitio and former titlist Jim Waters also earned qualifying points on opening night.

STIDHAM ADDS SANTA MARIA TO WIN LIST

By Lance Jennings

SANTA MARIA, CA – MAY 10, 2010… Point Leader Craig Stidham of Fresno drove to his third triumph of the 2010 campaign at Chris Kearns' Santa Maria Speedway. Taking advantage of yellow flag and a late race charge, Stidham claimed the win and extended his lead with the USAC West Coast 360 Sprint Car Series to sixty-nine points.

Driving the Brad Johnson Trucking / KRC Safety #3S Maxim, Stidham earned his first Sander Engineering fast time award of the season over the twenty-six car field. After getting his time back for a third place finish in his heat race, the former Trophy Cup champion started the 30-lap main event in the eighth position. Making some early moves to charge forward, Stidham put himself in position to score the Santa Maria win.

Starting on the front row of the twenty-two car field were Visalia's Jace VanderWeerd and Steve DeMott from Santa Maria. VanderWeerd got the jump on DeMott as the green flag dropped. Looking for his first victory of the season, Jace hit his marks on the track's low groove. Meanwhile, a torrid battle was raging behind the youngster with three and sometimes four abreast racing. DeMott, Davey Pombo, "Junkyard" Jimmy Thompson, Peter Murphy, Craig Stidham and "Showtime" Danny Sheridan diced back and forth in close quarters on the Santa Maria clay.

Murphy broke through to the runner-up spot from sixth. By lap thirteen, VanderWeerd enjoyed a straightway advantage as he passed slower traffic. On the next circuit, a yellow flag was brought out for San Martin's Wes Gutierrez, who had spun to a stop in turn two. Now, with his huge lead erased, VanderWeerd had to deal with the veteran drivers Murphy, Stidham, Pombo, and defending series champion Justyne Hamblin.

On the restart, VanderWeerd again favored the low line around Santa Maria's 1/3-mile track. The tactic worked as he began to pull away from the field. By lap seventeen, Stidham slipped by Murphy and set his sights on VanderWeerd. The lead gap was closing steadily as the laps counted down with Murphy right behind the point leader in third. With a strong power move, Stidham passed VanderWeerd to claim the lead on lap twenty-six. From there, Stidham led the rest of the way to score the win ahead of Murphy, VanderWeerd, Pombo, and Hamblin. "It was a good night and we qualified pretty good," remarked Stidham. "We like the slicker tracks where you can mix it up and pass."

Clovis' Peter Murphy had his second podium finish at Santa Maria after starting sixth. The 2009 Track Champion took Tom Tarlton's potent Tachi Palace Hotel & Casino #21 KPC entry to victory in the second heat race. The win earned Murphy $125 in certificates from BR Motorsports, Saldana Racing Products, and Keizer Wheels. "We had a good run tonight," said Murphy. "Craig found the moisture on the bottom and if VanderWeerd didn't have the yellow, he had it wrapped up." With his second place finish in the feature, Murphy climbed to the second spot in the point standings.

Jace VanderWeerd had a strong run in the feature by leading the first twenty-five laps. A yellow on lap fourteen erased a straightway lead for the family's Mid Valley Pipe & Supply #88 Maxim. Jace fought hard, but lost the lead to Stidham on lap twenty-six and fell to third after a late charge by Peter Murphy. Earlier in the night, VanderWeerd won the third heat race, earning $100 in certificates from Competition Suspension and Keizer Wheels. "It was hard being up front. I couldn't tell where everyone was and the lapped traffic slowed me down a little bit," said VanderWeerd. "Congratulations to Craig Stidham. He did a great job." Jace is now eighth in the point chase.

Kerman's Davey Pombo battled hard for a fourth place finish after starting fifth. The pilot of Junior Bowman's Buster & Ziggy #3 Bullet was second in his heat race and has five top-5 finishes on the season. "We have a lot of races to go," said Pombo. "As long as you can finish in the top four, it is a good night." Davey is currently third in the point standings and looks to make a championship bid.

Defending series champion Justyne Hamblin of Hanford scored a fifth place finish after starting eleventh. Driving the JH Motorsports / Tachi Palace Hotel & Casino #8 Speed Tech entry, Hamblin finished second in her heat race and has six top-10 finishes. After a rough start to her 2010 season, Justyne has rebounded with solid performances and has moved up to fourth in the point chase.

In time trails, Taft's Jeff Thompson flipped the Swaim Racing #5X entry. Thompson walked away uninjured, but his car was done for the night. Thompson's teammate Jason Swaim from Taft had problems with his machine as the crew could not repair the car for heat race competition. Hanford's Jared Little had to retire from the night's action after a rear axle broke in practice.

With the USAC/CRA 410 Sprints sitting idle, hometown favorite "Showtime" Danny Sheridan won the night's first heat race in the Kittle Motorsports / Pace Lighting #18 Stinger. For his efforts, Danny received $150 in certificates from Extreme Mufflers and Keizer Wheels. "Showtime" was looking for another Santa Maria feature victory, but finished tenth. Sheridan is thirteenth in the point standings.

Bakersfield's Rusty Carlile earned "Hard Charger / Best Passing Job" honors on the night with a seventh place finish after starting twenty-first in the main event. The driver of the Southwest Contractors / N.T.S. Incorporated #51 Bullet is eligible for a $25 certificate from King Racing Products and is looking to rebound with a victory after some tough luck.

The USAC West Coast 360 Sprint Car Series would like to thank Southwest Contractors, Hoosier Tire, Amsoil, BR Motorsports, Competition Suspension, Cory Kruseman's Sprint Car & Midget Driving School, Crow Enterprizes, DJ Safety, Extreme Mufflers, Hinchman-Indy Racing Uniforms, Integra Shocks, Kaeding Performance, Keizer Wheels, King Racing Products, Kirkey Racing Fabrication, Port City Racing, Saferacer.com, Saldana Racing Products, and Sander Engineering for their support.

“ALEX PRUETT MEMORIAL” AT COLUMBUS MOTOR SPEEDWAY SATURDAY OPENS 2010 REGIONAL & USAC/WOMS MIDGET SERIES

The 2010 USAC Regional and USAC/WOMS Midget Series debut this Saturday at the Columbus (Ohio) Motor Speedway.

Saturday’s race honors the memory of the late USAC Sprint and Midget racer who passed away at age 20 in 2007. Pruett, of Carefree, Ariz., impressed many USAC participants and officials with his infectious smile, cooperative attitude and courteous demeanor on his way to second place in the 2007 USAC Regional Midget Series standings and left us at much too early an age. During the 2007 season Alex notched 17 top ten finishes , including two wins, three seconds and three thirds. He was on the podium in all of the last four races of the year on his way to second in the championship points. In the final race of his career he finished tenth in the national midget race at Anderson Ind., his only national start in 2007.

Kyle Hamilton of Danville, Ind. is the reigning USAC Regional Midget Champion and nearly pulled off a sweep of last September’s USAC National Midget/Ford Focus Midget doubleheader at the third-mile Columbus oval.

The Columbus race kicks off a 13-race Regional and six-race WOMS calendar. Champions of the Wolverine Outlaw Midget Series (WOMS) were Gary Harrell (2003), Ike Beasley (2004), Nick Mitchell (2005 and 2006), Chris Hettinger (2007) and Doug Dietsch (2008 and 2009). Dietsch won last year’s title by a single point over Jim Anderson.

Saturday’s race is the first for the series on the third-mile Santa Maria oval since Nic Faas won there in 2008. In that race, Robby Josett, who currently ranks third in the 2010 standings, finished eighth. Josett is just 17 points behind Kruseman.

The 1-lap track record drivers will aim at Saturday was set back in 1995 by J.R. Lawson at 13,667 seconds.

MIDGETS EYE MAY 22 IOWA SPEEDWAY APPEARANCE; CLAUSON ADDS 58th “HUT HUNDRED” TO USAC RESUME

Bobby East’s USAC Mopar National Midget Series point lead stands at 22 points over Bryan Clauson and Tracy Hines as the series prepares for the May 22 Casey’s General Stores USAC Triple Crown Pride of Iowa event at the Iowa Speedway in Newton, Iowa.

East failed to finish Saturday night’s “Hut Hundred” at Tri-State Speedway in Haubstadt, Ind., but Hines did likewise after both had been competitive.

Clauson, of Noblesville, Ind., fared much better, though. He passed defending USAC Mopar and POWRI Midget champion Brad Kuhn on lap 88 and led the final 13 laps to win the 58th “Hut Hundred,” set a new track record during qualifying and started on the pole in his Parker Stone/Esslinger Spike/Esslinger Ford. Kuhn led the opening lap and Clauson led the next three but Kuhn took over on lap five and led the next 83 laps.

Clauson finally tracked him down and Kuhn faded in the closing laps. Jerry Coons Jr. finished second ahead of Caleb Armstrong, Shane Hmiel and Zach Daum. The win gives Clauson a “sweep” of the Belleville Midget Nationals, Turkey Night Grand Prix and Hut Hundred in just 10 months!

Saturday night’s 100-lap race, co-sanctioned by POWRi, featured the traditional 33-car, three-abreast start!

The USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car series resumes this Wednesday night with the running of the “Coca-Cola Sprint Classic” at Tony Stewart’s Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio. The race which continues the “Don Branson/Jud Larson Classic” tradition as well, was originally postponed April 2.

Speedway. Gardner has a 12-point lead over Jerry Coons Jr., who will seek car owner Dynamics, Inc.’s all-time USAC record 76th victory at Eldora.

JOHN ANDRETTI NIGHT MAY 26 AT THE SPEEDROME

John Andretti, USAC’s 1983 Indianapolis Speedrome Midget Champion, returns to the Speedrome May 26 as honorary grand marshall as USAC and the Speedrome celebrate his contributions to the sport.

Fresh from a ninth-place finish in the IZOD IndyCar Series event at Kansas Speedway, the 10-time Indianapolis starter will be the first of several former Speedrome Champions highlighted during this year’s USAC Regional Series events at the historic oval which has hosted more USAC races than any other track.

Andretti, the son of former USAC racer Aldo Andretti and nephew of 1969 Indianapolis 500 winner Mario Andretti, is one of three Andrettis to claim USAC driving championships. Mario won Indy Car titles in 1965, 1966 and 1969, plus the 1974 USAC Championship Dirt Car crown and cousin Jeff won USAC’s Pro-Ford title in 1983.

Andretti owns four Speedrome feature victories. His Indianapolis 500 career includes a fifth-place in 1991, an eighth in 1992 and 10ths in 1993 and 1994. He is entered in the 2010 Indianapolis 500

Under CART sanction, Andretti won the 1991 race at Surfers Paradise, Australia. In 1988 he won the CART “Rookie of the Year” honors. John also had measured success in his forays into the IMSA Sports Car ranks and in 1993 ventured into Top Fuel dragster competition, reaching a top speed of 299 mph! In 1994 he became the first driver to attempt to compete in both the Indianapolis 500 and the 600-mile NASCAR race at Charlotte, N.C. in the same day! In 1997 he won a 400-mile NASCAR race at Daytona Beach, Fla. and added a NASCAR win at Martinsville, Va. In 1999.

In 1991 he, uncle Mario and cousin Michael became the first family in motorsports history to finish 1-2-3 in a major auto race in the 200-mile Indy Car race at State Fair Park in Milwaukee, Wisc. Michael won, John was second and Mario was third.

For the 2010 Indianapolis 500 Andretti is teamed with Richard Petty and Window World and is backed by Andretti Autosport, owned by his cousin Michael.

The May 26 USAC program at the Indianapolis Speedrome includes the Regional Midgets, Midwest Ford Focus Midgets, Young Guns and Mopar .25 Midgets.

RACE STRATEGY WILL PLAY ROLE TO DETERMINE HOOSIER 100 WINNER

One of the most historic racing events in America is the USAC Hoosier Hundred Silver Crown race , which has been held traditionally the Friday night before the Indy 500 since 1953 at the famed Indiana State Fairgrounds in Indianapolis. Past winners include Indianapolis 500 winners A.J. Foyt, Mario Andretti, Al Unser, Jimmy Bryan, Parnelli Jones and Rodger Ward, as well as J.J. Yeley and Jason Leffler.

This year’s event will be held Friday, May 28th, and teams will be introduced to a fresh format in the 100 mile endurance race. With closer competition and excitement in mind, this year’s event will feature a planned mid-race stoppage, the first of its kind in Hoosier Hundred competition. Coming on lap 51 of the 100-lap event, a red flag will re-set the race for the final half of the event. This short halting of the race provides an opportunity for teams to work on their machines to prepare for the final run to the checkers, and sets up an exciting return to green-flag action. Upon re-firing cars, the field will align in double-file formation, supplying a second breath-taking roar into the first corner.

Fans can look forward to more than the restart adding a new flair to the event. Additionally, teams who choose to change tires will be forced to start on the tail of the restart field. Tire wear is always a factor in the “Hoosier Hundred,” and the charge of those who take new rubber in this year’s race will certainly be worth watching.

Qualifying will again set the field, and this will again take place in “group qualifying” procedure. Each driver’s fastest lap in the session will count as his official time, with the fastest overall earning pole position.

If a red flag comes out after lap 35, it will serve as the planned pause scheduled for lap 51. Teams can adjust their race strategy to also reduce their fuel loads, which has also been a safety concern in recent years.

Shane Hollingsworth of Indianapolis is the defending champion of the “Hoosier Hundred” after leading all 100 miles in last year’s race from his starting position on the pole.

Tickets can be purchased at the Indiana State Fairgrounds Ticket Office, Ticket Master Locations, or by calling Track Enterprises at 2217-764-3200. Practice will begin at 5 p.m. with Modified Racing at 7 p.m. and the Hoosier Hundred scheduled to start at 8 p.m. For more information go to www.trackenterprises.com, www.hoosier100.com or www.usacracing.com.

USAC/WOMS SERIES DEBUTS MAY 15 AT COLUMBUS, OHIO

The 2010 USAC/WOMS Midget Racing Series debuts May 15 with the running of the “Alex Pruett Memorial” race at the Columbus (Ohio) Motor Speedway. The race will offer points toward both the USAC Regional and USAC/WOMS Midget championships.

A total of six events plus additional dates currently in the negotiation stage will comprise the 2010 calendar, five of which also afford USAC Regional Midget points.

The Wolverine Outlaw Midget Series (WOMS) debuted in 2003 and for three years operated as a “winged” Midget organization. As a cost-cutting measure the wings were removed after the 2005 season.

WOMS driving champions have included Gary Harrell (2003), Ike Beasley (2004), Nick Mitchell (2005 and 2006), Chris Hettinger (2007) and Doug Dietsch (2008 and 2009). Dietsch won last year’s title by a single point over Jim Anderson.

The same Hoosier DX Regional tire will be utilized by both the USAC Regional and USAC/WOMS Series. These tires can be purchased at East Enterprises at 1187 E. Northfield Drive (Unit D) in Brownsburg, Ind. The phone number at East Enterrpises is 317-852-4411.

The 2010 USAC/WOMS Midget schedule is as follows:

May 15 – Columbus, OH – Columbus Motor Speedway June 12 – Marne, MI –Berlin Raceway June 26 - Marne, MI –Berlin Raceway August 7 – Springport, MI – Springport Motor Speedway August 12 - Marne, MI –Berlin Raceway September 25 - Marne, MI –Berlin Raceway

“LARRY RICE CLASSIC” FRIDAY AT BLOOMINGTON; RAIN FORCES “BILLY MARVEL CLASSIC” POSTPONEMENT

The USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Cars head for Bloomington (Ind.) Speedway Friday night for the “Larry Rice Classic” following Saturday night’s rainout at Lincoln Park Speedway in Putnamville, Ind.

Saturday’s “Billy Marvel Classic” fell victim to rain and USAC and track officials are discussing possible reschedule dates for the event honoring the former USAC Sprint racer.

The past seven USAC Sprint races at Bloomington have yielded seven different winners, five of whom are expected to be in Friday’s field. Included are 2009 winner Bryan Clauson, 2008 winner Jerry Coons Jr., 2007 winner Dave Darland, 2006 winner Brady Short and 2005 winner Tracy Hines.

Drivers will be aiming at J.J. Yeley’s 1-lap USAC Sprint track qualifying record at the quarter-mile dirt Bloomington oval, which he set in 2002 at 11.068 seconds.

AMSOIL series point leader Damion Gardner of Concord, Calif. hopes to better last year’s Bloomington finish of 12th in order to retain his lead, which stands at 12 points over Coons heading into Friday’s race.

The “Larry Rice Classic,” presented by Indiana Stoneworks, honors the late USAC Silver Crown and Midget Champion who was also the 1979 Indianapolis 500 co-Rookie of the Year. Rice passed away last year following a bout with cancer.

58TH “HUT HUNDRED” SATURDAY AT TRI-STATE SPEEDWAY; RAIN WASHES OUT TRI-CITY’S “KEVIN DOTY CLASSIC”

A field of 33 Midgets are scheduled to take the green flag Saturday night at Tri-State Speedway in the 58th running of the “Hut Hundred” at Tri-State Speedway in Haubstadt, Ind. The 100-lap race on the quarter-mile dirt oval features a three-abreast start! Saturday’s race is co-sanctioned by USAC and POWRi and Brad Kuhn of Avon, Ind. is the defending champion of both competing series.

Rain forced postponement of last Friday’s scheduled “Kevin Doty Classic” at Tri-City Speedway in Pontoon Beach, Ill. The race, co-sanctioned by POWRi and also affording points toward the 2010 USAC/SMRS Great Plains championship, is under discussion regarding rescheduling and a new date will be announced when firm.

Bobby East of Brownsburg, Ind. is the current leader in the USAC Mopar National Midget Series and will be seeking his second "Hut Hundred” victory in Saturday’s race. He won the 2004 race at the Terre Haute Action Track and is currently 22 points ahead of Tracy Hines, who won the “Hut Hundred” in 2001.

Saturday’s race marks the first time the event has been held at Tri-State Speedway, a staple of USAC’s annual “Indiana Sprint Week” in recent years. Tri-State is the fifth track to host the race, which dates back to 1954.
