PUTNAMVILLE, Ind. (July 28, 2022) — Mitchell Moles took advantage of a late race caution to hold onto the lead in route to the feature victory on Thursday during NOS Energy Drink Indiana Sprint Week for the USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car Series at Lincoln Park Speedway. Moles, from Rasin City, California, took the lead from Jadon Rogers on the second circuit of the 30-lap main event.
Late in the feature Moles was under pressure from defending USAC National Sprint Car Series champion Brady Bacon along with Rogers and Shane Cottle. Bacon swept around the outside of Rogers and Moles to take the lead coming to the finish line to take the white flag, but a caution flag for a tangle between Robert Ballou and Kevin Thomas Jr. before Bacon could get to the finish line put Moles back to the lead.
Moles took advantage of that position to pull away for the victory. Rogers, bacon, Cottle, and Justin Grant charging from 14th to fifth position rounded out the top five.
The feature was contested after a rain delay that lasted just over 90 minutes as qualifying was taking place, forcing officials to start qualifications over again.
