(Lebanon, IN)  When the USSA Mel Kenyon Midget Series returns to action at US 24 Speedway on Saturday June 8, series point leader Spencer Bayston will be shooting for his 4th straight win – a USSA record.  During the 2013 racing season only Dameron Taylor has broken up Bayston’s winning streak.  Taylor beat Bayston to the line on May 4th.

2012 series  leaders Travis Young, Dameron Taylor and Jessica Bean have all run into problems early in the season, relegating them to the back half of the finishing order at least once each.  For 2012 the series dirt track heavy schedule seems to be playing into Bayston’s hands, although Young, Taylor and Bean have all won on the dirt in the past.

 

Bayston leads the Mel Kenyon Midget Series into US 23 Speedway on Saturday June 8.  The gates open at 3 and racing begins at 7:30.  US 24 Speedway is located west of Logansport, IN on US 24.
