Hello Everyone,

I'm planning a trip to Florida during «speedmonth» and I will be able to attend the first night of racing for the Usac Sprints race (February the 21st) at Bubba Raceway Park and I was wondering what the car count should be and what driver to expect?

My list (who I think will be there):


Robert Ballou
Brian Clauson
Tracy Hines (will also be racing Midget ą New Smyrna)
Bobby East (will also be racing Midget ą New Smyrna)
Chase Stockon
Dave Darland
John Stanbrough
Brian Hayden
Hunter Shuerenburg
Justin Grant
Chris Windom
Darren Hagen
Brady Bacon
Coleman Gullick
Colin Cabre
Levi Jones
Shane Cottle
Thomas Mesareault

Who else?

(sorry if I mispelled some name...)

To quote the great Brent "Funk" Goodnight,

"All who show up, Will be there"

If memory serves me correctly last year there were either 30 or 31 cars. Add Brady Bacon in the HAR 69. My eyes may be deceiving me...Brady is on the list....also Landon Simon in the Stensland 41 and they are also running a second car with another driver.

Here is who is expected to make the trip. We hope to have a few more to include in the coming days...

1 Mitch Wissmiller - Saybrook, IL
1M Mark Smith - Sunbury, PA
1x Kurt Gross - Washington, IN
2 Shane Cottle - Kokomo, IN
2M Dallas Hewitt - Troy, OH
4 Tracy Hines - New Castle, IN
5 Robert Ballou - Rocklin, CA
11 Justin Grant - Ione, CA
11P Brady Short - Bedford, IN
12 Chris Gurley - Hebron, IN
12x Steven Schaberg - Glenwood, AR
14 Coleman Gulick - Binghamton, NY
17RW Kevin Thomas, Jr. - Cullman, AL
20 Bryan Clauson - Noblesville, IN
21 Chris Windom - Canton, IL
22 Mike Weber - Cincinnati, OH
23c Tyler Courtney - Indianapolis, IN
30 C.J. Leary - Greenfield, IN
32 Chase Stockon - Sullivan, IN
32M Brandon Hastings - Kirklin, OH
35 Hunter Schuerenberg - Sikeston, MO
39 Levi Jones - Olney, IL

41 Jac Haudenschild - Wooster, OH
42 A.J. Hopkins - Brownsburg, IN
55 Nick Drake - Mooresville, NC
69 Brady Bacon - Broken Arrow, OK
71P Dave Darland - Lincoln, IN
77 Brian Hayden - Fillmore, IN

If you know of any others, feel free to add them.

That's a pretty good list! Nice to see Mark Smith on there too!

Thanks for the list Spridge. I've been debating Florida, only because of car count !!!! Keep adding to the list !!!!

I thought the van cleaning bill would be the only thing holding you back !

Getting better but..... misssing from the current list are 3 of last year's top 5 USAC point getters...Darland, Stanbrough, & Gardner plus, among others; East, Shuman, WesMac, Coons. I know there are some dollar/sponsor issues and car/driver changes, etc. Hope to see at least some of these guys make the trip. Regardless, I'll be there to see "all the cars that show up".

Kirk, what about the midget drivers?

This may be stupid and off topic but I really miss only the National Champion carrying the number 1.
