3 WISCONSIN SPRINTS PIVOTAL FOR AMSOIL TITLE HOPEFULS
The Badger State of Wisconsin welcomes the AMSOIL USAC National Sprint cars this week for a trio of events expected to be pivotal in the battle for the 2015 championship.
It begins Friday night at AMSOIL Speedway in Superior and continues Saturday at Deer Creek Speedway in New Richmond before visiting Angell Park in Sun Prairie on Sunday night.
Robert Ballou remains atop the standings with a 40-point margin over Chase Stockon, but Dave Darland is just 82 back of the leader in third place.
Ballou leads with seven feature wins this season, while Stockon has a single win and Darland has a pair. Darland continues to seek his 100th USAC National triumph which would put him in select company. Only A.J. Foyt, Rich Vogler and Mel Kenyon have previously reached the century mark in USAC’s 60-year history.
Jon Stanbrough, currently fifth in the series points, swept the features at Deer Creek and Angell Park last year while the 2014 Superior appearance was weathered out.
