Casey Shuman and Carson Short made up the front row for the 25 lap main event with Shuman leading lap one over Brady Short and Dakota Jackson. Short bobbled on the start and fell back to seventh before a lap was complete. Brady had moved in to challenge Shuman for the lead on lap five, taking the spot on lap six using the high side. The caution flew for the first time on lap seven, as Brandon Morin spun in turn four. Short immediately opened a half straight advantage over Shuman on the restart. Jordan Kinser had moved his way into the top five, using the high side to his advantage. At the halfway point it was Short, Shuman, Jackson, Kinser, and Nick Bilbee making up the top five. Kinser moved into the third position, with just five laps to go, getting around Jackson. Up front, Short maneuvered his way through lapped traffic and was able to cruise on to his second straight win at Bloomington over Shuman, Kinser, Bilbee, and Seth Parker.

Sprint car heat winners were Casey Shuman, Carson Short, and Brady Short.

back in the day we put bounties on driver's who continuously won, they'd start out at say $100.00 bucks and go up another $50.00 each week till someone else won and claimed the bounty. that way if the locals aren't capable, some badasses will take notice once the bounty is big enough and will show up intending to take it

A bounty sounds like another good way for fans to get involved while not spending a lot of money. $5 or $10 from just a few fans (or $1 from more) every week would mount up quickly. It should also generate some interest and PR if the track wanted to exploit the opportunity. I have also seen bounties set up so that if no one won it for some set number of races, it went to the driver the bounty was put on. We all know that generating interest to get more people to the track is a good thing, so this might work. Seems to me it is worth a try.
