TWO BEFORE THE FOURTH - MSCS IS AT LINCOLN PARK & TRI-STATE
Haubstadt, IN - June 29 - The Hoosier Tire Midwest Sprint Car Series
is booked for two big nights of holiday weekend racing activity. The
non-wing sprint car drivers racing with the organization will be
running at two different tracks on successive nights. The Saturday
and Sunday night events are some 125 miles apart. That is close
enough to insure that a lot of sprint car fans can attend both and
yet far enough apart to attract a number of different racing teams to
one or both shows. Everyone can enjoy seeing some great racing prior
to the actual Fourth of July Holiday.
Saturday night the MSCS Sprints will unload to race at Lincoln Park
Speedway in Putnamville, IN. The racing program is the second annual
event named in honor of Bill Gardner who was the originator of the
ever popular Indiana Open Wheel website. The Bill Gardner
Sprintacular will be a two day show with MSCS sanctioning the
Saturday night show. The USAC sprints will be running to captivate
the opening night crowd on Friday night. Drivers will be able to
compete for high stakes both nights. The MSCS feature Saturday pays
$3,000 to win!
Sunday night the MSCS Sprints will appear at the Tri-State Speedway
in Haubstadt, IN. This is year four for the Southern Indiana Sprint
Car Stampede. The event is on a different weekend this year but the
attraction is two, make it threefold. The MSCS non- wing sprints
with deep roots in Hoosier land will share the oval with the MOWA
winged Sprint Cars based in Illinois. The inclusion of the UMP
Modified Cars will provide race fans with an outstanding offering.
It is in actuality a giant three-way open wheel combo! The MSCS
feature Sunday pays $2,500 to win!
Two great racing opportunities await the MSCS regulars. The series
is now ready to undertake the second half of the season schedule.
There are nine races left on the schedule. That still allows drivers
to join or rejoin the series and race for the special purses and
still have ample time to climb up through the standings. At each
race drivers are also welcome to compete on a temporary permit.
After the last appearance for the series at the Daugherty Speedway
the MSCS Points Standings once again changed. Brandon Morin of
Jasonville, IN, has assumed the points lead. He was the 2015 MSCS
Rookie of the Year. Consistent finishes and steady participation in
combination have propelled him to the top of the current standings.
Two drivers are tied for second in points. Those are 2015 MSCS
Champion Brady Short and 2015 Points Runner-up Carson Short. Carson
Short is ranked second based on best feature finishes! Dakota
Jackson and Tyler Hewitt are fourth and fifth in points. Jackson is
off to a great start this season and Hewiit just took over the MSCS
Rookie Points lead.
Racing remains a sport that is all about winning! Robert Ballou won
the MSCS Gardner Sprintacular last season. Chase Stockon won the
Sprint Stampede in 2015. Stockon heads the MSCS winner’s list this
season with 2 wins. Both of those were at Tri-State Speedway.
Thomas Meseraull took the MSCS show at LPS in May. Kyle Cummins and
Mitch Wissmiller won the two most recent features held for MSCS.
Racing gets underway at 7 P.M. Saturday at Putnamville. Racing
Sunday at Tri-State Speedway begins at 7:30. Group qualifying is set
for an hour earlier each night. Remember that the two tracks are in
different time zones!
