Indiana Sprint Week Preview Pt. 2 (July 13-16)

It is time for the final four events of Indiana Sprint Week for 2016. Entering Wednesday night in Terre Haute it is Indiana's own Tyler Courtney leading the ISW standings by 20 points over 2014 USAC sprint car champion Brady Bacon. Chris Windom is in third 22 points back of Courtney.

Courtney collected his first USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car win on Friday at Gas City I-69 Speedway after charging from the rear of the field. Kyle Cummins repeated the feat of becoming a first time series winner on Saturday night after edging Robert Ballou in a photo finish at Kokomo Speedway in the Tony Elliott Classic.

In the most recent round, Bryan Clauson picked up the win at Lawrenceburg Speedway. Clauson currently sits fourth in the Indiana Sprint Week standings and 10th in USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car standings but is not slated to run the entire Indiana Sprint Week schedule due to obligations to his winged sprint car team.
