THE SOUTHERN INDIANA SPRINT CAR STAMPEDE A PRELUDE TO FOUR WEEKENDS OF MSCS ACTION

Haubstadt, IN - June 7, 2013.  The Hoosier Tire Midwest Sprint Car Series will swing back into action on Saturday night June 15th as part of a Show of Shows Season scheduled for Tri-State Speedway by track promoters Tom and Loris Helfrich.  The MOWA Outlaw Sprint Cars will race at the track the same night.  Sprint cars will be arriving at the arched pit gate from all directions.  The MSCS competitors will compete without the wings on top, following their tradition, and the MOWA competitors will be supporting wings, outlaw style.
    
Tri-State Speedway has played host to both types of sprints for over 40 years.  This 2013 promotion will offer fans the opportunity to be able to see them run at the same track on the same night!  Separate features paying $2,000 to win will provide fans with a maximum of entertainment value.  Seeing is believing!  Fans will be able to see the differences, feel the collective excitement, and enjoy the best of both worlds of oval track racing.

For MSCS this will be the first of four straight weekends of racing. Drivers following the series can expect to race for 3 consecutive Saturday nights and then squeeze in two shows around the July 4th Holiday.  The make-up date for the Lincoln Park rainout is set for June 22.  MSCS returns to Tri-State for the Summer Blast on June 29.  Then the next week races are scheduled for Terre Haute on July 2nd and Bloomington Speedway on July 5th.  KISS will join with MSCS for NASCAR Night at Terre Haute.  Bloomington Speedway will pay $5,000 to win for the Sheldon Kinser Memorial on the fifth.

When these 5 races are in the books the MSCS season will be half over.  The 2013 MSCS Points Chase is off to a rousing start.  After three events Kevin Thomas Jr. leads the way.  The Alabama driver is off to his best start in the series!  The Michael Dutcher Motorsports Racing Team is one to be reckoned with.  Former MSCS Champions Brady Short and Kyle Cummins are next closest in points!  They are just 11 and 12 points back.

Proverbial front runners Daron Clayton, Chase Stockon, and Robert Ballou  round out the top six in the standings.  The three drivers could not be any closer.  A single point separates them heading into the next race.  Clayton's feature win May 26th was his tenth career victory in MSCS competition.  Only Jon Stanbrough has collected more with 19.

Stanbrough, the defending MSCS Champion, has moved up to seventh in the standings.  He has now switched to the Amati Racing Team sprinter owned by Shane Wade and Daryl Tate.  This newly formed team has the combined experience and potential to be a constant challenge.  Rookie Bradley Sterrett along with Dakota Jackson, and Seth Parker round out the top ten.  Series regulars Chase Briscoe and Kurt Gross are next on the list in providing the series with a solid top twelve drivers.

Racing at Tri-State Speedway on June 15th begins at 7:30 C.D.T.  Hot Laps are an hour earlier for those looking to enjoy a prevue of things to come.  The race is the night before Father's Day.  It is a perfect opportunity to take Dad to the races.  The Southern Indiana Sprint Stampede will be one to enjoy.  A sprint car event will follow another sprint car event on the racing program all night long.

KISS Series Winding Down as Brady Short Leads Racers to Paragon Speedway

May 30, 2013 – Racing for a second King of Indiana Sprint Series crown, Brady Short holds an 80-point advantage as the tour heads to Paragon Speedway this Saturday. With only two events remaining, those chasing Short are quickly running out of time.

With two wins and two fifth place finishes, Short has built his lead by both winning races and finishing consistently well when he doesn't. He has Cam Pottorff's sprinter working well everywhere. The pressure is on Kevin Thomas Jr., Robert Ballou, Hunter Schuerenberg and Casey Shuman, all within 144 points, if anyone is going to catch Short.

Setting the stage, Jon Stanbrough has won four of the last five KISS races at the Paragon oval. The race that Stanbrough didn't win was captured by Shane Cottle. Short finished second to Stanbrough last year, proving that he is no slouch, while Cottle also had a top-5 result.

The question becomes whether Stanbrough can win a fifth KISS feature at Paragon, or if someone else will race their way into victory lane. Stanbrough is hungry for another win. He changed rides a couple weeks ago, and isn't a factor in this year's point race. But the six-time KISS champion is now teamed with Shane Wade's Amati Racing and Daryl Tate, and has been stronger with each race.

The sixth stop of the 2013 KISS tour, Paragon Speedway, located 8 miles south of Martinsville, Indiana, just off Rt 67, on Saturday, June 1. The front gate will open at 5:00, and the pit gate at 4:00. Hot laps are scheduled for 6:30, with racing at 7:30. The evening's program includes UMP super stocks, pure stocks, bombers and hornets. General admission tickets are $20 and ages 12 and under are admitted free. Pit passes are $30. For more information, go to www.paragonspeedway.com.

KISS Point Standings: 1. Brady Short 680, 2. Kevin Thomas Jr. 600, 3. Robert Ballou 581, 4. Hunter Schuerenberg 577, 5. Casey Shuman 536, 6. Levi Jones 492, 7. Dave Darland 479, 8. Shane Cottle 427, 9. Jerry Coons Jr. 400, 10. Chris Gurley 351
