STANBROUGH
FIRST IN BLOOMINGTON MSCS VISIT |
|
Bloomington, IN (August 25). Jon Stanbrough won the 35 lap Hoosier Tire Midwest Sprint Car Series feature event Friday night at Bloomington Speedway. It was the first appearance by MSCS at Bloomington but not Stanbrough’s. The victory was his fourth at the track this season. This one was worth $2,500.
Stanbrough put the win in perspective in a post race interview. “It’s good to be able to run these races for a little
extra money. Race cars are so
expensive and fuel prices are high.” In
concluding he was sure to acknowledge one all important factor.
“Thanks to all the fans for coming.”
And they have been coming to MSCS races.
Stanbrough started on the pole and led throughout the race.
The Jamestown, IN, driver kept Steve and Brad Fox’s Foxco Racing
Sprinter in front. Stanbrough
stayed clear of trouble behind him that brought out 4 caution flags during the
first 16 laps. Yellows were
needed after laps 4, 6, 11, and 16. Cars
that slid over the bank, an orange cone that went from turn four to turn one,
and some fluid on the track were the extent of the problems.
Drivers stayed focused and little damage resulted from contact.
Not one red flag was needed during the non-stop program.
Jon Sciscoe held second
early but gave way to Dickie Gaines.
Gaines closed to within about four car lengths of Stanbrough during the
final stretch. Kevin Briscoe
finished third. Briscoe moved
steadily forward. It took Briscoe
about 3 laps to clear Danny Holtsclaw and Chris Windom.
He was alongside the two for about three laps as the battled with each
other for position. Windom
finished fourth with Holtsclaw fifth. The
race between the two continued in the closest of quarters. Sciscoe settled for sixth followed by Dave Darland, Brady
Short, Jeff Davis, and Cole Whitt forming the top ten.
Whitt was making his first appearance with MSCS and claimed the
Mike’s Motors Hard Charger Award for advancing the most positions after
starting at the tail of the field. Chase
Stockon used a provisional to start the event in order to protect a top ten
points position. Stockon appeared
at the race with the team’s backup car after destroying the primary car in
an accident at another track a week ago.
Forty-six cars competed during the night’s program.
Five qualifying heats were held. The
winners were Jon Sciscoe, Hunter Schuerenberg, Jon Stanbrough, Dickie Gaines,
and Brad Sweet. Kenny Carmichael
won the C-main. Kenny Carmichael
Jr. won the B-main. The B
transferred 5 drivers to the feature. RACE SUMMARY: Hoosier Tire Midwest Sprint Car Series |
