BELL RACING USA TRIPLE CROWN CHALLENGE RESUMES AT HOCKETT/MCMILLIN MEMORIAL, KYLE CUMMINS CHASING $20,000 REWARD!
INDIANAPOLIS, IN (September 18, 2018) - When the highly-anticipated Jesse Hockett/Daniel McMillin Memorial fires off this Thursday at Lucas Oil Speedway, the high-stakes Bell Racing USA Triple Crown Challenge resumes with a potential five-figure payday on the line for Kyle Cummins. After earning a dominating score in Lake Ozark Speedway's WAR Non-Wing Nationals, Cummins is only two more victories away from claiming a $20,000 check and becoming the inaugural champion of the Bell Racing USA Triple Crown Challenge.
Created in February this year with the incentive to offer a huge payday to POWRi Lucas Oil WAR Sprints League competitors, one lucky and talented driver would have to win three of the most prestigious races on the schedule. Split between the WAR Non-Wing Nationals at Lake Ozark Speedway in Eldon, Missouri (August 18th), the Jesse Hockett/Daniel McMillin Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri (September 22nd), and Sprint Mania at Fairbury American Legion Speedway in Fairbury, Illinois (October 6th), the mini-series is made up of arguably the three toughest events on the WAR campaign.
Debuting last month at the inaugural WAR Non-Wing Nationals, a field of 30+ racers took to the blossoming Lake Ozark Speedway in Eldon, Missouri with money signs for eyes and dreams of cashing in on the $20,000 reward. However, only one driver would walk away from the opening leg with a shot at taking the top prize, and it was none other than Princeton, Indiana's Kyle Cummins. Dominating the main event on Saturday, August 18th, Cummins led every lap aboard his Eberhardt/Zirzow Racing No. 3C entry and put himself in the prime position to take the top prize.
Moving onto the second leg of the Bell Racing USA Triple Crown Challenge, Cummins has a stout task of taking on 80+ entries this weekend at the Jesse Hockett/Daniel McMillin Memorial held at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri. The biggest event in the history of the POWRi Lucas Oil WAR Sprints League, the three-day extravaganza has drawn in 81 pre-entered drivers at the moment. With such a large field coming, the format has been completely revamped and feature split preliminary nights. Cummins will not race until Friday night, running on the Rockwell Security qualifying night in hopes of slotting himself in a good position for Saturday's finale, which he must win if he wants to take the $20,000 check.
If Cummins is able to stay hot and make it two-for-two with a victory at Lucas Oil, he will only have one more event standing in his way of the payday, Sprint Mania. A two-day show at Fairbury American Legion Speedway in Fairbury, Illinois, Cummins would only need to win the main event on Saturday, October 6th, and he would take home $20,000 back to Princeton, Indiana.
