King of Kokomo Results (May 15)

Kokomo Speedway

As always, the Kokomo Speedway did not disappoint on Sunday night as sprint car drivers put on a spectacular show in season opening King of Kokomo event at the popular Indiana bullring.

Cullman, Alabama's Kevin Thomas Jr. was crowned king after surviving a spirited chase by Chris Windom at the helm of the Baldwin #5.

Bryan Clauson, who drove up to Kokomo after working with his IndyCar team at Indianapolis Motor Speedway earlier in the day finished third with Tyler Courtney and "The Throttle" Shane Cottle rounding out the top five.

Kevin Thomas Jr. led for the entire race after starting on the front row alongside Jarett Andretti. After gaining an early lead the field saw a red flag as Dave Darland, who had started 8th, got airborne and came to rest upside down and hung up on the fence. After a few tense minutes Darland climbed from his car and his car was towed to the garage along with Justin Grant in the Phillips #71p whom also got caught up in the incident.

After the restart Thomas Jr, followed by Windom went to the top where he stayed for the rest of the race. Behind the duo the battle for position was intense as Clauson, Courtney and Andretti battled for the third spot for a number of laps before Clauson and Courtney were able to get by. Andretti eventually faded to 8th where he would finish.

Sprints will return to action at Kokomo Speedway next Sunday night.
