BELL RACING USA TRIPLE CROWN CHALLENGE FINALE MOVED TO TRI-STATE SPEEDWAY THIS SATURDAY


INDIANAPOLIS, IN (October 11, 2018) - POWRi Lucas Oil WAR Sprint League officials, race fans and most importantly, Kyle Cummins and his Eberhardt/Zirzow Racing team, are hoping that the third time is the charm when it comes to the Bell Racing USA Triple Crown Challenge this weekend. The third and final event of the mini-series will now be held at Tri-State Speedway in Haubstadt, Indiana this Saturday, October 13th with Kyle Cummins chasing an unprecedented $20,000 payday.
This news comes on the heels of what has been one of the most whirlwind adventures of the 2018 season. After Kyle Cummins won the opening two events, all eyes turned to Fairbury American Legion Speedway, where he would attempt to steal the third and final race for the $20,000 prize. However, the sudden cancellation of the event through an announcement on Tuesday, September 25th, sent shockwaves through the community and WAR promoter, Casey Shuman, scrambling to find a new date.
Racers and fans rejoiced when the press release came days later, announcing that Kokomo Speedway on October 6th would serve as the finale to the Triple Crown Challenge. However, Mother Nature had other plans. After 44 entries had signed-in for action, a heavy downpour ensued and the night was washed away. The rain proved too costly as even the rain date on Sunday was cancelled due to extremely wet and muddy grounds.
Now, we all hope the third time is the charm. Officials confirmed this afternoon that finale of the Bell Racing USA Triple Crown Challenge will be held at Tri-State Speedway in Haubstadt, Indiana. Racing alongside the Midwest Sprint Car Series (MSCS), the $5,000 "Harvest Cup" is the final event on the POWRi Lucas Oil WAR Wildcard League schedule in 2018.
Based out of Princeton, Indiana, Kyle Cummins will be racing on home turf with the biggest payday of his career on the line. With his home located just 20 minutes away from the track and a collection of diehard local fans cheering him on, the stakes will be high with the $20,000 Bell Racing USA Triple Crown Challenge championship on the line.
Make sure to tune into @WARSprints on social media throughout the night on Saturday to remain updated on the action and Cummins' pursuit of the $20,000 payday.

So if Kyle wins, he pockets $20k + $5k from MSCS?

How many WAR cars can we expect along with 20 or so MSCS cars?

Could be big odds for him with that many cars.

Robert will be at Haubstadt. He’s responded to a few people on twitter asking if he’d be with the outlaws at Terre Haute saying he’ll be at Tri State.
