By: Chris Nunn
(BLOOMINGTON, IN- APRIL 21, 2008)- This coming Friday night at the Bloomington Speedway will be the second running of the "Spring Clash", which pays $3,000 to win and $300 to start for the Safety-Kleen Sprint Car division. As an added incentive for the racers, lap money will also be paid to the driver that leads a lap in the feature event. In the inaugural running of the "Spring Clash", Bedford, IN driver Brady Short outran Springville, Indiana's Jeff Bland, Jr. to pick up the victory, plus a good sum of the lap prize money.
