April 9, 2012
In the sports entertainment business, terms like “standing room only” and “sellout crowd” are tossed around very liberally to describe an event. There was no so-called creative journalism involved in the accounts of the Saturday April 7th showcase at the Bryant Heating and Cooling Indianapolis Speedrome®. Fans were literally being turned away as spectator capacity was exceeded in a record breaking opening night to start a 71st season of racing. The action packed agenda was sponsored by the United Auto Workers. Besides the heaving helping of competition on track, fans saw a spectacular performance from a new video signboard and enjoyed the culinary delights from a brand new Speedrome concessionaire. It was truly a new era at the World’s Home of the Figure 8®.
What an honor and privilege it is to have world renown racing brothers Hall of Famers Don and Mel Kenyon as a part of your track. The Speedrome is proud to have them and their namesake series firmly on the 2012 schedule. This past weekend saw the drivers and teams of the USSA sanctioned Mel Kenyon Midgets on hand for an invitation only exhibition event before the Challenge Championship begins on April 21st. The massive UAW crowd cheered the open wheel stars during their exciting 20-lap clash. The drivers then met and signed autographs for fans after taking the checkered from the AT&T Advertising Solutions flag stand.
Two talented brothers with a growing history at the famous one-fifth mile would battle for victory and family bragging rights in the preview contest. Hamilton’s Kyle and Nick finished 1-2 in the race over quick Cordy Horn. That trio had the home track father/son duo of Tim and Dameron Taylor keeping close tabs on them. Reigning Kenyon Midget national champion Jessica Bean was next in the results followed by Natasha Cox, Chris Dickey, Grant Simpson, Kyle Tilley, and Amanda Davies. There are more teams ready to join this flock when the point war launches. To get involved with the Kenyon series, call Don at (765) 482-4273 or also visit www.kenyonmidgetracing.com.
