Once again, the car owner champion of Indiana Sprint Week will receive a distinctive Bridgeport Rocker made of cherry wood, donated by John Youngs of Bridgeport Rockers.

Former Indiana Sprint Week Champions expected to compete for the 2011 title include Jones and Darland, who each have three titles and Stanbrough, who has two.
