The weekend wrap up!
Two races took place this weekend, first race was Friday night at Bloomington Speedway.
The MMSA series ran non-wing for the first time this season. Some 29 entries took to the track for one of three hot lap sessions. Here again some nailed the set up from the word go, and some left scratching their heads.

Three heat races were on tap.
First heat race rolled off with 10 entries, saw the OSR Performance, Double L Transport, Columbus Collision, entry driven by the Columbus IN youngster Justin Lewis take the first checkered of the evening. Following Lewis to the line was Ohio's Ty Tilton and another Ohio racer Nick Daugherty making his first appearance with the MMSA series.

Second heat was to have 10 entries, but one was not able to make the call. So 9 took the green flag and another familiar name out front. The Henchcraft, EMI hot rod of Rod Henning out ran Cody Trammell and his team mate Drew Dorsett, to earn his way to the feature event.

The third and final heat consisted of 9 more mini sprints, and young Kobe Allison from Lima Ohio, piloting his Ottie Cycleworx, TT Motorsports entry to his first checkers of the season. He was follow to the stripe by Ron Coleman and Andy Bradley to all earn a position for the main event.

As we rushed in to the B-Main to finalize our starting grid for the A-main saw some 13 cars slated to start, but only 10 would do so. Twelve laps later saw the DC Motorsport ride of Cindy Chambers show the way to checkered flag in the B-main to lock her in to the main event. The other drivers punching their tickets to the main were, Bradley Ashford, Tim Light, and Bob Griffitts. The point provisional fell onto the shoulders of Brandon Smith, which broke in heat 1, which eventually took over the 19 of Mike Miller ride starting shot gun on the grid, thus allowing for 76A to make the show!

Heading into the nights A-Main all 21 starters took the green. Cody Trammell brings them to the green, he will lead lap one followed by Bradley and Henning. Lap 3 sees Henning take the top spot via the high side. Caution one would fly seeing a few go pit side, including Winsemann, Griffitts, Hathaway, Haas, and Tilton. The race would go green for two laps, then the accident in turn 3 took place. Heat race winner Kobe Allison's car would catapult on top of the Justin Lewis ride. Allison rear tire got inside the halo bar of Lewis, taking both cars to a wicked event of both tumbling over. Henning restarts from the top spot, opens his lead up over Trammell, Bradley and company. As the race winds down Henning controls the top spot, as Andy Bradley has to fight off the Greencastle Hustler, Jesse Vermillion for a battle that Bradley would deny Vermillion his best finish in the MMSA series. Although he finished 3rd, it was a very nice run for Vermillion!
Rod Henning would pick up the win, followed by Bradley, Vermillion, Dorsett, and Ryan Barr to round out top 5.
Bonus were to be had, by the top ten, if they could duplicate their efforts the following night at Lincoln Park Speedway.........

So now the MMSA rolls into Lincoln Park Speedway Saturday night April 15 for their weekend double.

With 10 guys from Friday night accomplishments having intentions to collect a bonus. But only if they can back up a top 10 finish here at Lincoln Park.

After all said and done 5 of the 10 walk away with extra cash in your pocket.

With all 23 drivers having signed in, we roll right into one of two hot lap sessions.
All 23 cars take the green. The second hot lap session, Greencastle Indiana Billy Winsemann, would take his mini sprint and turn it on its top. Billy would walk away and eventually get his car fixed for the A main.

We are now set for three highly contested heat races !

Palestine Indiana's, OS Racing Engines entry of Danny Fitzgerald would make his presence known us as he picks up the first heat win. Which eventually will score here sixth in A-Main with the most passing points for the evening. Followed by Colin Miller and Bob Griffiths to round out the rounded top three.

In heat two, the Arvin Built custom fabrication, Revolt electrical solutions, hailing from Indianapolis IN, driver Keith Arivin would pick up of the victory for his first in 2017. Following Arvin to the checkers was , Kyle Hathaway and Justin Lewis to firm their positions in the main event.

Heat three, heavily weighted heat race, puts first and second in points to date in this event. Andy Bradley would take off with lead, but it was short lived. Ron Henning would chase him down to steal the victory from Bradley. But with Henning win, puts Bradley on a pole for the A-main, through the passing point chart. Thus setting up at barn burner for the main event.

The feature is set all 23 cars will take the green with
Bradley and Miller row 1,
Ashford and Arvin row 2,
Henning and Fitzgerald row 3.

The fast and furious A-main kicks off with 12 green flag laps with Andy Bradley jumping out front followed by Miller, with Henning and Ashford in tow.
The first and only caution would fly on lap 12 when young Griffith spins in turn three. On the restart Bradley takes top spot with one lap marker, Dylan Moan, separating him and second place Rob Henning. They quickly catch back markers for the last five laps of the A-main. All along with third-place Fitzgerald and Hathaway ready to pounce if any of the two would make a mistake. No mistake was made as Bradley cruises to his second win in 17. Followed closely by Henning , Fitzgerald, Hathaway and Ryan Barr to round out the top five

The series takes two weeks off before returning to the new and improved Twin City speedway on May 6 for another USAC event .

The Hoosier Speed Invitational of Champions

On April 29th the World of Outlaws was rained out at Tri State Speedway.
That race has been rescheduled for Sunday May 14th. Tri State Speedway reached out to the Premiere Support Series and challenged us to put on an event that would be appropriate to team up with the legendary WOO!

Unfortunately we have been limited to a 18-20 cars due to time restraints and requirements that it takes to put on the Greatest Show on Dirt. We sincerely apologize for this but it is simply out of our control.

Hoosier Speed, MMSA and USAC have teamed to bring you the...

"Hoosier Speed Invitational of Champions"

The top Lightning Sprint Drivers and Teams will be invited to participate in this special event..
This is not a points event, and this event will be formatted special. Car regulations still must fit into the USAC Lightning Sprint Rule book.


With loyalty to the MMSA series members, a minimum of 10 MMSA drivers will be guaranteed into the 20 car grid. The drivers leaving LPS on Saturday the 13th that are in the top 10 positions of points will be rewarded a spot in this special event. The other drivers will be comprised from all over the country in the form of Champions, past Champions, notable race winners, and possibly a few WOO drivers themselves.

We realize this event is on short notice however we will not leave spots un-filled. Invitees will have 48hours to make contact with series. We will go to the next round of Champions after 48hrs.

Invitations will be listed on the MMSA and Hoosier Speed Facebook pages as well as the respected home pages.

The first names will be announced Monday May 1st.

Good Luck to all and see you at the races.
