By Dick Jordan

Rain forced cancellation of last Thursday’s AMSOIL USAC Pavement Sprint “Thursday Night Thunder” event at Lucas Oil Raceway in Indianapolis, Ind. The series returns to the Indianapolis oval on August 18.

Bobby Santos III of Franklin, Mass. remains the AMSOIL USAC Pavement Sprint point leader entering the August 6 “Joe James/Pat O’Connor Memorial” race at the Salem (Ind.) Speedway. Santos won the pavement opener at Anderson, Ind. and finished fourth in the most recent race at Toledo, Ohio.
