EAGLE, McCOOL, LAKESIDE HEARTLAND TOUR THIS WEEK;

CLAUSON, BACON SPLIT SPRINT WINS AT BLOOMINGTON, HAUBSTADT

The AMSOIL USAC National Sprint Car Series invades America’s heartland this week for a trio of events expected to weigh heavily on the 2015 championship.

Friday night’s “Rumble at the Bullring” unfolds at Eagle (Neb.) Raceway while Saturday’s race is at Junction Motor Speedway in McCool Junction, Neb. Sunday night’s “Weld Racing Spring Classic” is at Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, Kans. All three races carry additional WAR sanction.

Chase Stockon of Elizabethtown, Ind. leads the standings after a third and a fifth in races last week at Bloomington and Haubstadt, Ind. He has a 15-point lead over Robert Ballou in the latest rankings.

Defending series champion Brady Bacon, a 2009 USAC Midget winner at McCool Junction, won Saturday night’s “Spring Showdown” at Tri-State Speedway in Haubstadt. He led the final 27 laps in his Mean Green/Lykins Oil Triple X/Williams Mopar to beat Ballou, Kyle Cummins, Brady Short and Stockon.

Bryan Clauson of Noblesville, Ind. won Friday night’s 30-lapper at Bloomington Speedway in his Priority Aviation Services/Jonathan Byrd’s Racing Maxim/Parker. Jon Stanbrough took second ahead of Stockon, Tracy Hines and Bacon.

ProSource fast qualifiers were Bacon (Bloomington) and Darland (Haubstadt) while B & W Auto Mart Hard Chargers were Stockon (Bloomington) and Carson Short (Haubstadt).

Dave Darland, whose 54 victories are the all-time series record, owns Eagle victories in USAC Sprints and Midgets and Hunter Schuerenberg won last year’s Sprint outing at McCool Junction. Sunday’s race at Lakeside is the first for USAC’s Sprint cars in Kansas City since J.J. Yeley’s victory in 2001. Darland stands fourth in the series points behind Stockon, Ballou and Bacon.

I have high hopes for Sunday's races at Lakeside. Hopefully, they will be able to find the keys to the water truck.

Looking forward to a weekend of USAC sprints at a couple of my favorite tracks.

AMEN, It's a shame Lakeside has turned into a tippy toe dust bowl. But on the other hand I have seen USAC do some dictating on track prep in this area so maybe they will get track prep done. Plus we can always hope for a Sunday noon shower

It's disappointing to read these comments about the track at Lakeside. I haven't been there since the last race of the (sadly) short-lived TnT Sprint Bandits, and the track was always good for those shows. Here's hoping they get it together for this weekend.

Hopefully all the great racing fans and teams will have a great triple header of some great non wing racing this weekend. Have fun and enjoy the greatest show on dirt. Hopefully all the fans at all 3 tracks can make a trip to come to Indiana and enjoy some great non wing racing. Have fun and enjoy.

As a matter of fact, I'll be in Hoosierland for some of that great non wing racing in about another month. This weekend is sort of a primer for my Indiana trip.

Thanks John. See you at the Hoosier Hundred?

What other track does Lakeside compare to on size and shape? Any Indiana track or bigger?
