Two more times. We’re gonna celebrate. The final two Midwest events of the 2026 USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship season bring a double dose of dirt slingin’ to the speedy southeastern Indiana 3/8-mile oval of Lawrenceburg Speedway on Friday-Saturday, October 9-10.
Back in May of this year, Kyle Cummins checked off his first career Eldora Speedway victory in what was his 17th attempt at taming the legendary 1/2-mile Rossburg, Ohio dirt oval.
