BRISCOE THE ONE AS MSCS APPEARS AT TRI-STATE
by Eldon Butcher

Haubstadt, IN. (May 7, 2006) Kevin Briscoe won the feature event Sunday night at Tri-State Speedway. The race was the first of 6 Hoosier Tire Midwest Sprint Car Seriesevents scheduled at the track this season. The Mitchell, IN, race driver led from flag toflag in a convincing drive that began on the outside of the front row and ended in victory
after 25 quick laps on a race-ey surface. The victory was worth $1500 dollars. 

Briscoe was driving the Briscoe Racing Stealth sponsored by Briscoe Homes, Dutch Housing, AFCO, and Hoosier and powered by a 410 FOXCO. The 20 year veteran sized the track up quickly once the green had waved. “I realized early that I needed to get the car above the cushion to get faster.” Not only was he fast but his expertise in lapped traffic from some 20 years behind the wheel of a sprint car sealed the victory. 

Mitch Wissmiller of Saybrook, IL, found his feature path extremely challenging. He challenged for position after position to finish second after starting sixth on the field. He used up 19 laps securing that goal from all the remaining top 5 drivers. Shawn Krockenberger of Terre Haute, IN, presented a strong presence in the contested runner-up spot throughout those laps. However after Wissmiller finally made the pass, Krockenberger had to settle for third. Kyle Cummins of Princeton, IN, finished fourth and Jonathan Vennard of Vincennes, IN, was fifth. 

The remainder of the top ten finishers in the sprint A-main were Chris Windom, Jeff Davis, Alex Shanks, Hud Cone, and Chase Stockon. Windom and Davis were making their first starts of the season. The Hoosier Tire Midwest Sprint Car Drivers formed a solid lineup. All four former MSCS National Champions were present and all four made the feature. The field completed the event in record time needing only one caution flag. 

Preliminary MSCS heat races were victories for Kyle Cummins, Jonathan Vennard, Shawn Krockenberger, and Kevin Briscoe. Erik Folger of Newburgh, IN, won the B-main with Josh Cunningham finishing second. Jerry Ruble wiped out the front end of his sprint in the B-main after making contact with a corner marker and was forced to use the MSCS provisional, his second and last opportunity to do so this season. After hasty repairs during intermission, Ruble finished fourteenth in the feature. 

The UMP Modified feature ended with cars crashing before reaching the finish line. Randall Sweeney won the event after leading all but one lap. Mike Strykinski was second in the event which saw only a few cars take the checkered ahead of a crash that gathered up five cars in a massive pileup just before they reached the flagstand. Clayton Miller finished third after spending 24 laps of the race applying a lot of pressure on Sweeney for the lead as they raced side by side in the turns. Ronnie Falloway and Jason Webster rounded out the top five. Modified heat race wins went to Clayton Miller, Randall Sweeney, and Michael Fox, with Lucas Lee taking the time shortened Consolation race. Thirty competitors battled during these events to make the 18 car feature. 

Tri-State Speedway will be racing next on May 21st with the Late Models, UMP Modifieds, and the Vintage Race Cars. Three of the vintage cars were on hand Sunday night to give fans a preview of the various types of cars they will be seeing in two weeks. The MSCS Sprint cars will return on Sunday May 28th for a $2,500 to win show.
