STANBROUGH BEST AT TRI-STATE’S USAC INDIANA SPRINT WEEK SHOW

by Oleva and Eldon Butcher

Haubstadt, IN  (July 15, 2006).  Jon Stanbrough of Jamestown, IN, won the 30 lap USAC Sprint Car feature Saturday night at Tri-State Speedway to become the third different winner in the first three nights of racing at Indiana dirt tracks during USAC Indiana Sprint Week.  Stanbrough was the third fastest qualifier of 41 entrants and started fifth in a talented field of 23 sprint car drivers that made the feature. 

     The win was a career fifth for the annual weeklong series for Stanbrough.  The Fox Brothers’ DRC he drove was fast.  The racetrack was receptive.  The crowd was entusiastic!  And the winner was emotional in the post race interview.   “Brad and Steve Fox take care of the car and build the motor.  I could choose to go wherever I needed to go!  I have been close here so many times and other times not even close.  I am so happy to get these fellows to the winner’s circle.”

     Stanbrough began his forward venture on lap 12 when he took fourth from Kyle Cummins.  Stanbrough swished by Dave Darland on lap 15.  Jerry Coons was next on the horizon and another two-lap task.  That left only one major challenge.

     2005 USAC Champion Levi Jones had led from the initial green flag in the Tony Stewart owned Mopar.  On lap 22 Jones momentarily left a little racing space and Stanbrough shot underneath and into the lead.  Bryan Clauson would soon follow and claim second with 5 laps to go.  Jones finished third followed by Jerry Coons and Corey Kruseman.

      The second five included Brad Sweet, Darren Hagen, Dave Darland, Dickie Gaines, and Brady Short.  Kyle Cummins, who had won the Semi, finished eleventh with Shane Cottle twelfth.  Cottle had marched up to sixth before using evasive action and taking a wild bronco twisting ride through infield and back into the thick competition.

     The frantic pace of the feature race was interrupted just 4 times.  Yellows and one red broke the event up into hectic green flag dashes of less than 10 laps each.   The only red flag was needed on lap 23 after Californian Damion Gardner rolled his sprinter in turn three.  A lap 14 incident involved three spinning cars including one driven by Mat Neely.

      Neely entered the event with the Indiana Sprint Week point lead.  He had won the first night out and was second in the main on night two.  But on Saturday night he would need to use a provisional starting spot to start at the back of the feature field.  He was fifth in his heat after tangling with Jeff Davis.  The contact sent Davis’ car into the wall and upside down.  Neely was seventh in the 12 lap Semi with the top six all that would  transfer to the feature.  With absolute resolve Neely continued and would finish the feature.

     The USAC Sprint Car contingency moved on to compete at Kokomo Speedway Sunday night.  Tri-State Speedway will host the Hoosier Tire MSCS Sprints for the second annual Hoosier Sprint Nationals on Saturday night July 29th.  The Hoosier Sprint Nationals pays $10,000 to win a fifty lap feature.
