HOOSIER TIRE MIDWEST SPRINT CAR SERIES AT TRI-STATE SATURDAY
by Eldon Butcher

Henderson, KY.  (Aug. 10)  The Midwest Sprint Car Series will race at Tri-State Speedway this Saturday night August 12th.  It will be the final solo appearance for the popular racing series at Haubstadt this season.  However on Labor Day Weekend these same MSCS Extreme Racers will match skills with the USAC National Sprint Car Series in the first ever USAC/MSCS Clash!  This weekend’s special program is a double-up Special event with the MSCS Sprints shooting for a top prize of $1500, and the UMP Open Wheel Modifieds aiming for their biggest purse of the season topping out at $1200.. 

    The MSCS portion of the program will consist of a 25 lap feature.  The feature will be a true sprint race, the Saturday night traditional distance at most short tracks.  The race will call for a simple strategy.  Drivers will strive to get to the front early and use those 800 horsepower, 410 cubic inch engines to their fullest capacity.  The howl of the precision tuned engines will only be matched by the roar of approval from the fans after the checkered flag. 

     The past two weeks eyes have been on Daron Clayton from Sikeston, MO.  Clayton’s driving talents have been paying big dividends.  He can now polish 4 foot trophies from both the Hoosier Sprint Nationals and the Kentucky Sprint Championship.  A win at this Saturday night’s race would give the 22 year old driver three MSCS feature wins in a row.  Clayton’s driving style is fearless.  Brushing the wall beyond the cushion that develops along the outer wall in the turns of a dirt track just seems to make the yellow 92 even faster. 

     Two-time champion Alex Shanks continues to lead the MSCS National Points by a narrow margin over two Gibson County, IN, drivers.  His teammate Hud Cone of Oakland City is currently second in success markers and Kyle Cummins of Princeton has just moved into third spot in the points.   Cummins and Cone are both running AFCO Shocks.  AFCO is one of MSCs’s valued sponsors

     Veteran Jerry Ruble of Vincennes, IN, is now 4th in series points.  Ruble is second in overall hard charger points.  Ruble’s entusiasm for racing shows in his every move on or off the track.  Matt Neely of Robinson, IL, still leads those Hard Charger Points sponsored this year by Mike’s Motors of Clinton, IN.  Fifteen year old Illinois speedster Chris Windom is now fifth in a steady climb up through the standings

    Jeff Davis continues to lead the MSCS Rookie of the Year points battle.  Davis who hails from Pittsburg, IL, had his best run of the season last weekend at Nebo, KY.  Davis started 17th and finished 5th on a slick track that was perplexing to some of the veterans.  That outstanding effort earned Davis the night’s Mike’s Motors Hard Charger Award.

     Engler Machine and Tool of Princeton, In, sponsors the MSCS Rookie of the Year Program.  Other drivers moving up in the rookie standings after last week’s engagement  incude Patrick Bruns, Mark Potter, D.J. Ott, and Lee Stark.  The challenge continues!
