NEXT CHALLENGE FOR MSCS IS ON SUNDAY OF LABOR DAY WEEKEND
Haubstadt, IN - August 29, 2015 - Labor Day Weekend is one weekend
that racing is always on the schedule at the Tri-State Speedway.
This season the Hoosier Tire Midwest Sprint Car Series will once
again be headlining the action to be presented on Sunday night
September 6th. The feature for the sprint cars will be paying $3,000
to win. The UMP Open Wheel Modifieds and the MMSA Mini Sprints will
complete an all open wheel triple header.
The Sunday night date at Tri-State Speedway is an added opportunity
for some 410 non-wing sprint car teams to race during the holiday
weekend. This is the second of only two Sunday night race dates at
the track this season for the MSCS Sprints. So far this season 113
drivers have competed in the MSCS Sprint Car Series.
The final countdown to the 2015 MSCS Championship continues. There
are only 4 races left counting the Labor Day Weekend Challenge! The
September 6th event at Haubstadt is the first of three races to be
held there in September. As the season winds down, drivers will be
making renewed efforts to collect the greatest share of the remaining
purses and a lions share of the season points fund which is sponsored
by Hoosier Racing Tire. This should be a September to Remember!
Brady Short continues to lead in the MSCS Points Standings. He
reclaimed the lead during an ongoing MSCS winning streak which now
stands at five feature wins in a row. Short won every MSCS feature
in an Accelerated August. Those wins came at five different tracks
in two states. The first of five wins was at Tri-State Speedway and
he will be bringing the streak back to that track to begin September.
Short and Stanbrough are now tied with 20 wins each in leading the
series in All Time Feature Wins. Jon Stanbrough’s 20th win was at
the Labor Day Weekend Challenge at Tri-State last year.
Carson Short is second in the MSCS Standings. He had led the points
on four different occasions this season. The difference is now 46
points with 70 on the line at each event. 2014 Rookie of the Year
James Lyerla has moved up to third place in the standings. This
year’s leading rookie Brandon Morin is currently 8th in the
standings. Robert Ballou and Donny Brackett complete the top five
list.
The Labor Day Challenge has been sanctioned by MSCS since 2004.
Former winners in addition to Jon Stanbrough are Blake Fitzpatrick,
Scotty Weir, Hunter Schuerenberg, Chris Windom, and Daron Clayton. A
strong field of top drivers are expected to take the green flag and
the impending challenge it presents.
The UMP Open Wheel Modifieds have competed at the speedway seven
times this season. The top drivers by virtue of capturing modified
victories are Trent Young, Zach Fair, Matt Lane, Josh Harris, and
Dustin Beck. Young and Fair have posted two feature wins each.
Fair has won the last two events. Harris and Stephen Schnapf have a
pair of runner-up finishes each. Dustin Beck was third in three of
the feature races completed.
Andy Bradley won the feature in the only MMSA Mini Sprint Race held
so far this year at Haubstadt. The mini sprints will return one more
time with a date on October 10th. The MSCS Sprint Cars will join
with the USAC Sprints to present the Haubstadt Hustler on September
19th. That is the biggest event for the season. The feature that
night will pay $10,000 to win. The UMP Mods will also race during
that program.
