BLOOMINGTON, IN (July 31, 2026) — Robert Ballou put himself in position to be in the right place at the right time to win the Sheldon Kinser Memorial during NOS Energy Drink Indiana Sprint Week presented by K&N Filters feature even with the AMSOIL USAC National Sprint Car Series Friday night at Bloomington Speedway.

Ballou led the first seven laps before Gavin Millerw was able to slip by to take the lead. Ballou continued to stay on Miller’s back bumper but could not make the pass. After multiple red and caution flags, included and extended yellow flag period for a light rain shower where the cars remained under power circling the track to keep the racing surface rolled in, Miller continued to lead until the final set of corners when her slowed, allowing Ballout to drive past for the victory.

Mitchel Moles, Justin Grant, Jake Swanson, and Hunter Schuerenberg rounded out the top five. Miller dropped to ninth position in the running order after slowing on the final lap.

Indiana Sprint Week point leader Kyle Cummins was involved in an incident on 17 and drove back to 10th position in the main event, shrinking his lead down to just seven points ahead of second place Justin Grant and 24 points behind Swanson and Moles going into the final round of the series Saturday night at Tri-State Speedway in Haubstadt, Indiana
