NEXT RACE IS “THE RETURN OF MSCS TO PUTNAMVILLE”
August 9, 2011. The Hoosier Tire Midwest Sprint Car Series completed the first half of the 2011 season with the running of the Hoosier Sprint Nationals at Tri-State Speedway on July 30th. In winning the feature that night Levi Jones became the fourth different winner in the five races completed so far in 2011.
Brady Short of Bedford, IN, continues to lead in the MSCS Points Standings. Short has a 79 point lead over the closest competitor. Rookie of the Year contender Braylon Fitzpatrick of West Terre Haute, IN, has now moved up to take possession of second place in the standings. Veteran Critter Malone is just 6 points out of the runner-up spot. All three drivers are making progress towards earning a very first MSCS Title!
Fitzpatrick, Malone, Dakota Jackson, and Chase Briscoe all moved up a spot or into the top five. Mark Perry III fell to sixth in the standings from second after missing the last race because of motor trouble. Seventh through tenth spots are currently held by Casey Riggs, Robert Ballou, Kyle Cummins, and Chase Stockon. Kevin Thomas remained in eleventh spot in the standings and Rookie Kent Schmidt moved up to 12th in points. The top 12 at the end of each season make up the next season’s provisional list.
One of the biggest movers in the points standings following the Hoosier Sprint Nationals was Blake Fitzpatrick. Fitzpatrick used a second place feature finish to propel him from 41st to 16th in points. The 2010 MSCS Champion got a late start on the season in missing the first three races. Other drivers that have just returned to action in the series include Donny Brackett, Adam Nigg, Hunter Schuerenberg, and Hud Cone.
This month the Hoosier Tire Midwest Sprint Car Series will have just one race. That is the long awaited return of the series to the Lincoln Park Speedway in Putnamville, IN. The 5/16 mile oval has not held an MSCS sanctioned race since 2003. That was the third season for what was then a relative new series. The MSCS Champion that season was Hud Cone of Oakland City, IN. Hud had two feature wins that season and a top five finish in one of the two features held at Lincoln Park Speedway. Both of those 2003 features at Lincoln Park were won by Jimmy Laser.
The August 20th appearance of the MSCS Sprints at Lincoln Park Speedway will conclude with a 30 lap feature which will reward the winner with a $3,000 payday. MSCS uses a passing points system to determine the top 16 drivers based on heat race efforts. Those drivers transfer to the A Main with the top six redrawing for starting positions in the first three rows. The remaining 10 drivers transferring start straight up in positions 7 through 16 based on passing points. The top four from the B Main will join the field in order at the tail. MSCS rules provide for one possible provisional starter!
Racing at Lincoln Park Speedway on Saturday nights begins at 7 o’clock. Hot Laps are earlier and begin at 5:30 P.M. The Speedway also presents UMP Modifieds, Super Stocks, and Bombers for a varied and complete program of auto racing. Joe Spiker is the promoter!
