MSCS TO APPEAR AS PART OF THE CLASS TRACK FALL ROUNDUP
Haubstadt, IN, September 22, 2014 - The Hoosier Tire Midwest Sprint Car Series will compete Saturday night September 27th at Tri-State Speedway along with the Sunoco ALMS Late models and UMP Open Wheel Modifieds.
It will be the 8th appearance for the Midwest Sprint Car Series at the Haubstadt oval this season. The ALMS Late models will be making their first appearance at the track since September of last year. The modified drivers have already frequented the track nine times in 2014. On the 27th all three classes of dirt track cars will be competing to present the ultimate combination of speed and competitiveness. Dirt tracks these days seldom offer this combination in one program. The result is an opportunity to witness unparalleled racing excitement.
Only two more dates remain on the 2014 MSCS and Tri-State Speedway schedules. The “Class Track Fall Roundup” is important to sprint car drivers battling for high point honors. The top ten drivers will share in the point fund sponsored by Hoosier Tire Midwest. Some hope to benefit by gaining positions while others need a good night at the wheel to retain a top spot. Fourteen drivers are still in the hunt for a top ten finish. A gain of 10 or 12 points could change at least 5 of those positions.
Currently MSCS points leader Kyle Cummins has the most comfortable lead over his nearest adversary. He leads runner-up Robert Ballou by 107 points and could conceivably lock the title up during the next MSCS feature held. Ballou is only 25 points ahead of Brandon Mattox. Brady Short is back another 12 points. Jeff Bland Jr. holds down fifth spot in the standings. Carson Short is just outside the top five.
The Rookie of the Year honors also depends on season points. James Lyerla currently leads Aaron Farney by 32 points. Lyerla is seventh in the overall series standings while Farney is now tenth. Two other rookies, Daylan Chambers and Nick Hale, are in the Top Twenty in the standings and working race by race to move up.
Midwest Sprint Car Series action this season has produced eight different winners in just fourteen opportunities. Robert Ballou leads the series with three wins. Hunter Schuerenberg, Jeff Bland Jr., Brady Short, and Daron Clayton have two wins each. Kyle Cummins, Jon Stanbrough, and Tyler Courtney have also registered wins! Brandon Mattox and Chase Stockon are two top ten drivers that have been close to a feature win in finishing second.
