Driver of the Week (June 9-15)
Congratulations and happy birthday to the Indiana Sprint Car News Driver of the Week Bryan Clauson. Clauson who has spent more time in a winged sprint car this year than a non-wing returned to the Indiana non-wing scene this week as he also took part in Indiana Midget Week.
Clauson started his week off with a bang by beating 34 other competitors in the sprint feature at Gas City I-69 Speedway on Wednesday and followed it up with another win on Friday evening on the red clay of Bloomington Speedway, a track that has more or less been dominated by Brady Short in 2015.
We felt it was fitting to reward Clauson with the award this week and hope to see him back a few more times this season in a non-wing car. Happy birthday BC.
