7 Winners in 7 Nights; Brady Bacon Takes ISW Title!

Brady Bacon, fresh from claiming the “Indiana Sprint Week” championship, has spurted to a comfortable lead in the USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship standings. The Broken Arrow, Okla. driver now holds a 170-point lead over defending series champ Robert Ballou.

Bacon’s fourth-place finish in Sunday night’s “Don Smith Classic” at the Terre Haute Action Track assured his team – Dynamics, Inc. – of winning the famed $3,500 Bridgeport Rocker donated by long-time USAC supporters John and Terri Youngs of Vincennes, Ind. The team also earned the $5,000 championship share of the Indiana Sprint Week point fund.

Chase Stockon of Fort Branch, Ind. captured Sunday’s Terre Haute finale, which was delayed from Wednesday by rain. He led all 30 laps in the Superior Tank & Trailer/Dewig Meats DRC/Fisher, beating Ballou, Tyler Courtney, Bacon and Aaron Farney.

Stockon’s victory concluded a seven-race series which featured seven different feature winners! That marked the first time since 2001 that ISW produced no repeat winners!

Brady Short of Bedford, Ind. won Thursday’s race at Lincoln Park Speedway in Putnamville, Ind. He led the final 19 laps in the Sipes Body & Glass/Indiana Stone Works Maxim/Spec to beat Stockon, Chad Boespflug, Ballou and Thomas Meseraull.

Brent Beauchamp of Avon, Ind. earned his first-ever USAC feature victory Friday at Bloomington Speedway. He wheeled the Concrete Connection/Brownsburg Mufflers Spike/J & D to the “Sheldon Kinser Memorial” win, emerging from a torrid duel with Dave Darland in the first 20 laps. He led the final 11 laps to beat Bacon, Darland, Kevin Thomas Jr. and Meseraull.

Carson Short of Marion, Ill. became the fourth brand-new USAC Sprint winner in the ISW series Saturday at Tri-State Speedway in Haubstadt. He led all 30 laps in the Total Field & Environmental Services/RASS Restoration DRC/Spec to beat Kyle Cummins, Stockon, Ballou and Jarett Andretti.

KSE/B & W Auto Mart Hard Chargers last week included Ballou (twice), Meseraull and Jerry Coons Jr. ProSource Fast Qualfiers were Courtney, Boespflug, Josh Hodges and Bryan Clauson.
