This will be dedicated to all the race fans, race teams, and anyone else whoever showed up at a race hoping to see some great racing, Indiana style, and were turned away because someone said that the weather would be too bad to race, or said that the track was not prepared properly. read more »

We went to a different church this morning (Lutheran) and the minister spoke of hope and how crucial it is to have it in our lives. So I didn’t exactly doze off; instead I thought of Josh Cunningham, who posted his first sprint car victory at the Bloomington Speedway on Friday night, after many years of trying. And I thought of Jon Stanbrough, who has re-assumed his well-earned description as maybe the best of Hoosier short-track open wheelers. All Jon did was win going away at Terre Haute on Saturday night in King of Indiana Sprint Series action, and also take the 2006 KISS points championship, too. read more »

Columbus, IN… Here they were, the same old highways, the same old cornfields, and the same old horizon off in the Indiana landscape. Oh, and same old standing water from our recent storms. It sounded like a weary scene as I drove north and west to one of our treasured American short tracks, the Terre Haute Action Track. But it was far from that; instead I was curious as most always, watching for the imperceptible changes in the Hoosier countryside and anticipating another fine opening night at a favorite track of mine. As it turned out, not only were my expectations met, so were those of Bud Kaeding and his Scott Benic race team as they took advantage of others’ misfortunes to win the MSCS feature on Saturday night, April 8. Neither cold weather, too many flips, nor a track that wasn’t in the greatest shape (thanks entirely to the weather), would stop young Mr. Kaeding or several hardy race fans from enjoying the night. read more »

Terre Haute, IN… As it has been with others before him, it has seemed to be, up to now, Levi Jones’ year. He hasn’t really dominated USAC’s Sprint Car Series, but he has done well enough to at least call it a breakout year. He is getting closer and closer to taking the point championship and this weekend at the Terre Haute Action Track he took some big steps in that direction. The affable and talented young man has been on the USAC scene for what seems like a good while, but is still only 23. Each year he has improved and his rides have been better and better. And this year with Scott Benic, he is poised to join an illustrious group of racers as a USAC champ. It’s his time. read more »
