Gas City, IN — (July 11th, 2014) — Jon Stanbrough started on the pole and led the distance in the USAC “Indiana Sprint Week” 30 lap opener at Gas City I-69 Speedway Friday night.

The only caution of the feature occurred on lap three after a multi car tangle in turn four. After that Stanbrough maintained his lead with Justin Grant keeping him in his sights and at the half way point looked to be ready to mount a charge. But Stanbrough would have none of it and pulled away again.

Second place Grant was being pestered by Chris Windom who kept up with the leaders with Tracy Hines close behind. In the late stages Chase Stockon moved into the 5th spot after starting 13th. At the checkers it was Stanbrough, Grant, Windom, Tracy Hines and Stockon.

Heats for the 53 cars in attendance were won by Jerry Coons Jr., Brady Short, Robert Ballou and Bryan Clauson. The C main went to Shane Cottle and Brady Bacon picked up the Semi.
