Putnamville, IN – August 10, 2013 – Robert Ballou won the 30 lap
Hoosier Tire Midwest Sprint Car feature Saturday night at the Lincoln
Park Speedway. The Rocklin, CA, driver brought a new Maxim to the
track and it performed well. Ballou had a perfect night in winning
his heat race as well as the feature. He was excited about his
victory and the new car as he was interviewed in victory lane. “This
shows you that Maxim Race Cars are among the best in the business.”
Ballou’s victory was his eighth in MSCS competition. That ties him
with Brady Short at third on the All Time Winner’s List. Ballou
started fourth in the feature and took over the lead from Dakota
Jackson on lap nine.
Chase Stockon was the runner-up in the MSCS feature for the second
week in a row. Stockon pushed the GBR Sprinter hard to stay one to
two car lengths behind Ballou lap after lap. He looked and looked
for an opportunity. But the opportunities expired as the laps ran
out. The entire feature stayed green. There were no miscues or
restarts – just hard racing! Chase summed it up. “I rode along
behind trying not to make a mistake. And he ran a perfect 30 laps.”
Lincoln Park regular Brent Beauchamp finished third. He started
fifth and was in the race long battle for a top five spot. “It was a
good night to finish strong with MSCS here!” Dakota Jackson turned
in his best feature run this season in finishing fourth. Chad
Boespflug moved up five hard fought spots to take fifth.
Jon Stanbrough led the second five to the finish line. Kyle Cummins,
Ryan Pace, A.J. Hopkins, and Brady Short completed that group.
Stanbrough’s drive from sixteenth to sixth earned him the Keizer
Aluminum Wheels Hard Charger of the Race from MSCS. Brady Short also
gained 10 spots but the award goes to the driver with the highest
finish in case of a tie. Fans watching the back half of the pack
witnessed some timely passing. Eighteen of twenty cars finished
without the usual spins or incidents.
Bradley Sterrett received the Wilwood Tuff Brakes award. The MSCS
Rookie Points leader finished eleventh. The night also included a
first heat race and an opportunity to start the feature on the front
row. Other heat race winners included Ryan Pace, Robert Ballou, and
Kyle Cummins.
C.J. Leary and A.J. Hopkins won the two 12 lap B Mains.
