Haubstadt, IN – Apr. 29, 2013. The Hoosier Tire Midwest Sprint Car
Series will be racing at the Terre Haute Action Track again in 2013.
The date for the event has been set for July 2nd. That night will be
NASCAR Night at the track. Details will be forthcoming in advance of
the race. The UMP Modifieds will be racing to conclude the program.
The MSCS Sprints will share the sprint car portion of the race card
with the KISS Series. The arrangement should further insure a
quality field of sprint car competitors. The event will be the
seventh and final race for the 2013 King of Indiana Sprint Series.
This race now holds the promise of also deciding the KISS
championship.
The event is pivotal for MSCS drivers in that it falls right in the
middle of the MSCS schedule. It will be sixth of thirteen scheduled
events this year and also provide fans and drivers with three big
events in seven days, all situated in and around the 4th of July
holiday.
Action begins Saturday night June 29th at Tri-State Speedway and now
continues at the Terre Haute Action Track on Tuesday, July 2nd
before winding up Friday night July 5th at the Bloomington Speedway
for the Sheldon Kinser Memorial. This is one week to look forward
to. Drivers will be looking at $2,000 to win at Haubstadt, $2,500
to win at Terre Haute, and $5,000 to win at Bloomington as they make
the circuit.
Robert Ballou was victorious at last year’s KISS-MSCS race at Terre
Haute which was held in April. Levi Jones captured a second MSCS
race in June which was billed as NASCAR Night in 2012. This year it
will all happen in one night in July! Defending MSCS Champion Jon
Stanbrough posted fourth and second place finishes in those events!
He was also the KISS Champion for 2012!
