Another race weekend, Indiana’s biggest, is complete as this is written. Rain was the winner at some tracks and it also was a huge factor in our biggest race. But the rain stayed away from both Bloomington and Lawrenceburg as many of us had a glimpse of the future, Jeff Bland Jr. and the present, Jon Stanbrough.

And we heard, albeit briefly, an interview with one of those who raced in days gone by, one who is never without a smile and a funny story. Bryan Clauson, Kevin Briscoe, and Butch Wilkerson are all Hoosier and racing treasures. The future, the present and the past were here to appreciate, all in one weekend. read more »
