USAC AND MSCS ARE POISED FOR A SHOWDOWN AT TRI-STATE
Haubstadt, IN - June 25, 2019. The 2019 racing season at Tri-State
Speedway will continue on Sunday June 30th. This is the rescheduled
date for the season opening SPRING SHOWDOWN which was rained out in
mid April. This race will feature the AMSOIL United States Auto Club
Sprints and the BRANDEIS Midwest Sprint Car Series.
This make-up event is one of two co-sanctioned events scheduled to be
held at Haubstadt this season with these two 410 non-wing sprint car
series competing together. The second will not be held until
September 14th. The SPRING SHOWDOWN is always conducted using the
USAC race format.
On the MSCS schedule, the SHOWDOWN is on Sunday following an
appearance set for Brownstown Speedway the previous night. The June
29th and 30th events follow five events that were completed for the
MSCS series in May. USAC drivers competed in three races in the
Eastern U.S. during June. The Sunday night USAC-MSCS SHOWDOWN
feature at Haubstadt will pay $5,000 to win!
The reigning BRANDEIS MSCS Champion is Carson Short of Marion, IL.
Short captured his first MSCS title in 2018. Brandeis Midwest Sprint
Car Series licensed drivers do receive full points when competing in
co-sanctioned events. Short is currently eighth in USAC points! The
2019 MSCS Points leader is Kyle Cummins. Cummins also leads the
series with 3 feature wins in 5 attempts.
The 10 USAC races previously held this season have produced 7
different winners. The 2018 USAC National Champion Tyler Courtney,
Brady Bacon, and Chris Windom are the only drivers to repeat as
winners. The current top five drivers in USAC points are C.J. Leary,
Tyler Courtney, Chris Windon, Chase Stockon, and Kevin Thomas Jr.
Rescheduling the SHOWDOWN preserves the opportunity for race fans to
see the very best sprint car drivers compete. Kevin Thomas Jr. won
the SPRING SHOWDOWN for a second time last year. Winners dating back
to the origin of the race in 2012 were Chris Windom, Chase Stockon,
Brady Bacon, Hunter Schuerenberg, and Daron Clayton.
Sprint cars on a dirt track produce the ultimate fan experience. The
pit gate will open at 3:30 P.M. C.D.T. Warm-ups on Sunday June 30th
begin at 6:30 P.M. Heat races begin at 7:30 P.M. Tri-State Speedway
is located in the Central Time zone.
The UMP Open Wheel Modified Cars will also be racing. Their feature
will pay $600 to win. The double bill not only adds to the action
but provides a widened fan appeal! The two modified feature winners
so far this season are Stan Beadles and Brandon McDowell. Adult
tickets are $25, student tickets are $20, and children 12 and under
are admitted free.
