PUTNAMVILLE — When the 2011 USAC Indiana Sprint Weeks schedule was announced back in January, there were many who expressed their share of disappointment that Lincoln Park Speedway had once again been snubbed for one of the coveted series dates. LPS operator Joe Spiker hadn’t concealed how badly he wanted one of the shows and later his disappointment of being left off the schedule. While it would have been easy for Spiler to sever his ties with USAC, the Greencastle businessman shrugged off the rejection from several of his fellow promoters and went ahead and scheduled a regular season sprint date and a midget card with the Indianapolis- based sanctioning body. While losing out on one of the profitable ISW venues, Spiker and his many supporters at LPS haven’t gone away empty handed. By sticking with USAC, LPS maintained its spot on the Indiana Midget Weeks schedule, a slate that features five nights of midget racing at the same tracks that host ISW dates. MORE at link
