Youngest driver in MMSA history takes the checkers on night one of Lightning Sprint Week!

Midwest Mini Sprint Association saw it's youngest driver to date win his first feature event at Lincoln Park Speedway in Putnamville, IN. That stat was previously held by Seth Motsinger at the age of 15.

Fourteen year old Jac Nickles started on the pole position and held that spot for the entire 20 lap feature event. Jac started the night out, starting in the sixth position in his preliminary and raced to a 3rd place finish. By MMSA rules of passing points would set him up for a night he will always remember, starting P1 in feature!

Jac would get the jump on the field from his front row starting position in his N.W.O. Property Services, RCS Construction, T&D Interiors, R.D. Jones Excavating. Tim's Landscaping, Shawnee Manor, KPM Motorsports, C&M Building Maintenance and Ricker Repair Service backed sprinter to lead the first 8 laps. The red flag would wave for the 9 car of Casey Meyers. Casey tried to avoid a spinning car and as he went high on the track he would jump the berm and do a series of barrel rolls in turn two. Casey would walk away uninjured.

The restart would put Nickles, Trammell, Schindler, and Langley lined up nose to tail to try to over haul the youngster. Four laps would go by with Jac leading and Trammell right on his heels trying the high side then the low sign with no success. The caution would fly for the second time. The restart had to be nerve racking for the young lad knowing he had Trammell and a looming Keith Langley ready to strike at moments notice. The race would go another 4 laps before the third and final caution flag, for the 2s machine of Brad Strunk losing his chain off his ride.

Jac would have to do it all over again, but this time he would have his hands full of a red 26 machine of Langley. With 3 laps to go Langley found something on the top shelf to run down and over haul second from Trammell and set his sights on the youngster up front. Langley would get to the tail of the leader and was looking to over take that spot before Langley made choice he would regret, he gave up the high side. He went low side in 3 and 4 and nearly looped it. He would regain his composure back on top side, but it would only prove to be too late. Jac would take the win with Langley less than a second behind for the runner up spot. Following the top two to the line were, Trammell, Schindler, Powell, Deputy, Haas, Medler, Rutherford. and Parker. Quick note on the Anthony Hass car, he started 23rd on the field of 25 and finished in the top 10, nice run Haas!

Preliminary events saw Jeff Schindler out best Trammell and Nickels in heat 1. Heat 2 saw another young hot shoe Austin Powell take the win over the veteran Travis Stickels and Brandon Coffey. The 3rd and final heat Brandon Deputy showed the field the 19 car knows its way to the front also by claiming his first MMSA victory with Keith Langley and another young gun Kinser Medler in tow.

A great night of racing for the first of three nights on the dirt. Friday night the MMSA series will run at Bloomington Speedway and turn south Saturday to fill the weekend of racing at Tri-State Speedway, to claim the first Lightning Sprint Week winner!
Thanks to all for the support of MMSA!

Last night MMSA visited the beautiful, red clay of Bloomington Speedway. Not only did we have the chance to entertain the thousands in attendance for the NOS Energy Midget Series, we also were streaming live on FloRacing.com to thousands more across the world. Our drivers did not disappoint and put on a great show for everyone watching both at the track and across the nation. Both nights we had 25-26 in attendance!

Heat number one gave Kinser Medler the opportunity to stretch the legs on the backup car (that he didn't intend on using for this weeks racing action) and, after some changes from the night before it proved to be a rocket. Kinser had some stiff competition in heat one with the likes of multi-time winners Brad Strunk and Brandon Coffey. However, Kinser jumped out to a lead and never looked back, winning heat number one.

Heat two brought a new face to ranks of heat race victory lane. Adam Schmenk went from a car in shambles, being lifted onto a trailer a mere eleven hours before, to winning his heat and picking up his first ever MMSA heat race victory. He had the strong cars of Cody Trammell and Ryan Barr chasing him down but they weren't able to catch Schmenk.

Heat three had the 14 year old Jac Nickles piloting the yellow number 31 to victory after coming off his first ever feature win in a mini sprint the night before at Lincoln Park Speedway..

Our feature was set, once we did our invert, and we found two of the strongest lightning sprints in the country on the front row. Cody Trammell and Brad Strunk were the first to see the green flag drop as they came off the historic turn number four of the Bloomington Speedway, where so many battles have been won and lost. It didn't take long for Brad Strunk to jump out to an early lead, only to find himself sitting on the outside of the back stretch facing the wrong way after making contact with an ailing car coming off of turn two.

Cody Trammell then took over the lead and though Ryan Barr was able to close the gap several times he just was not able to overtake him. Trammell would go on to win at his home track once again.

On a personal note from Shaun Waters:

The last two nights have been some of the best racing we have seen across the country and we have to thank our drivers for that! You have made it so much fun to be able to call the action on the track and really show fans across the country how great lightning sprint racing can be. I know not all of you knew it was being streamed across the world but you should hold your head high as the fans were treated to two amazing nights of lightning sprint action. I had the opportunity to announce with some of the absolute best in the business the last two nights and after talking with them I know you all should be proud.
Next event we will hear Dustin's point of view of racing recap!
