Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series continues to grow
In a day where low car counts and declining crowds are hot topics within the racing community, there is one non-wing sprint car series that is defying the odds.
The Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series, otherwise known as BOSS, has continued to grow steadily since its first season in 2011 when the series only consisted of two events. This year the series scheduled 22 races for its 2016 campaign, a record number for BOSS, at 16 different tracks throughout Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania.
BOSS, which has no registration fees for its competitors, is a driver and owner friendly series. All drivers that compete accumulate points and a number of contingency awards exist for drivers such as Hard Charger, Hard Luck, Perseverance and Lucky Pill Draw Awards among others. BOSS also has an open tire rule which is attractive to some car owners. A free Hoosier tire as well as a free American Racer are provided to the two highest finishers who run each brand of tire on all four corners.
The perks listed above are just some of the reasons why the series has continued to grow, attracting cars from across the region. Through 10 events this year, two others have rained out, the series has averaged just over 34 cars per race. In comparison, that is a higher average than the USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car Series while the Midwest Sprint Car Series, a regional series with a similar number of races on their schedule, has averaged just under 25 cars per event.
There are number of regulars in the Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series including Shawn Westerfeld, Cooper Clouse and Justin Owen. However, the series also attracts drivers that many Hoosiers are familiar with seeing on a weekly basis including: Thomas Meseraull, Shane Cottle, Brady Bacon, Landon Simon and Dakota Jackson.
With those names in the mix the series is competitive at any track it competes at. In the 10 races this year there have been seven different winners including: Kody Swanson, Cooper Clouse, Steve Irwin, Shawn Westerfeld, Justin Owen, Dustin Smith and Luke Hall.
If you have not seen the Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series in action, this weekend the series will be serving up two opportunities inside the Hoosier State. On Friday night, for the first time in BOSS history, they will be at Twin Cities Raceway Park in North Vernon. The series will then travel to Lawrenceburg Speedway on Saturday night for the Jason Soudrette Memorial.
We'll have more information about those two events later this week in the weekend preview.

2016 Indiana Sprint Week Recap
The 2016 version of Indiana Sprint Week is now in the books and with it we have gained a first time champion along with four new USAC feature winners.
The week began at Gas City I-69 Speedway on July 8. After spinning on the first lap of the 30 lap feature not many would have thought it would only take "Sunshine" a little over 20 laps to pass all 23 competitors but that's exactly what happened.
Courtney rolled the bottom as the top went away and was able to get by two-time USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car champion Bryan Clauson in route to his first series victory. Courtney was followed by Clauson and 2011 Indiana Sprint Week champion, Chris Windom.
Sprint Week continued on July 9 at Kokomo Speedway. For the second straight night it was a new winner in victory lane as Princeton, Indiana's Kyle Cummins picked up the win. Cummins was able to hold off last years Indiana Sprint Week champion Robert Ballou in a photo finish at the line after running the bottom nearly perfect for the final 8 laps. Kevin Thomas Jr. finished third.
Rounding out the first half of Indiana Sprint Week cars next appeared in Lawrenceburg where Bryan Clauson led all but the first five laps of the feature to pick up his seventh USAC sprint car feature victory of 2016. Tyler Courtney and Chris Windom rounded out the podium.
Indiana Sprint Week was scheduled to resume in Terre Haute on July 13 but rain forced drivers and fans to wait until the following night at Lincoln Park Speedway in Putnamville.
This time it was Brady Short picking up his 7th Indiana sprint car win of the season on a track, that just 24 hours earlier, had been flooded. Short picked off 10 cars in the first 10 laps and was able to get around Dave Darland to lead lap 12 and would never relinquish the position. Chase Stockon was second followed by Chad Boespflug in third.
Last Friday night took the series to Bloomington Speedway where we were once again treated to a first time USAC winner when Brent Beauchamp out-dueled USAC's all-time winningest sprint car driver in Dave Darland. The pair traded blows for much of the feature and officially there were seven different lead changes between the two until Beauchamp pulled away over the final 10 laps.
Brady Bacon, continuing a string of consistent finishes would come home second in the #69 while Dave Darland finished third.
The week's trend of first time winners continued on Saturday night when Carson Short picked up the victory at Tri-State Speedway in Haubstadt.
Short led all 30 laps en route to the victory while Kokomo winner Kyle Cummins finished second followed by Chase Stockon. The finish set up a dramatic climax to Indiana Sprint Week with Brady Bacon leading defending USAC sprint car champion Robert Ballou in the Indiana Sprint Week standings by just 10 points.
As usual, the legendary Action Track at Terre Haute did not disappoint on Sunday in the Indiana Sprint Week finale. Chase Stockon became the seventh different winner in the seven race series after holding off numerous challenges by Robert Ballou. Bryan Clauson had been charging hard before losing a right rear and being forced to restart from the tail and finishing with a top ten.
In the process Brady Bacon won the Indiana Sprint Week title for the first time in his career behind consistent runs over the seven race series. Bacon did not score a win but tallied multiple top fives and finished outside the top ten only once when he finished 11th at Putnamville.

The 29th Indiana Sprint Week travels to the high banks of Lawrenceburg Speedway for round three on Sunday before we go into the mid-sprint week break.
Brady Bacon crossed the finish line first in the 2015 edition of the race after holding off eventual Robert Ballou. Ballou would go on to capture the Indiana Sprint Week championship and the 2015 USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car title.
In the series' most recent visit to the track it was Dave Darland getting the win on a frigid night in early April. In doing so, Darland extended his streak of at least one USAC national series wins to 24 straight seasons.
Former track champion Shawn Westerfeld has been victorious more than any other driver in 2016 in Lawrenceburg. Westerfeld has racked up three wins at the track this year.

ISCN Mid-season recap
It is now July and with Indiana Sprint Week just days away we are now roughly halfway through the Indiana sprint car schedule for 2016. Here is a quick look at what has transpired so far this season.
The 2016 campaign kicked off way back in March with the No Way Out 40 at Brownstown Speedway. Bryan Clauson picked up the win that night and set the pace for what has been a dominating Indiana sprint car season for the Noblesville native. Clauson, who is trying to run 200 races this year in a plethora of cars, has tallied seven wins around the state in a non-wing 410 sprint car.
The most impressive stretch for "BC" came during Indiana Midget Week in which he picked up 4 sprint car victories in five races as well as winning the Indiana Midget Week title. Clauson has also ran a multitude of winged sprint cars events this year as well as taking part in the 100th running of the Indianapolis 500 in which he finished 23rd.
Another driver that has dominated much of the competition this season is Kevin Thomas Jr. The Cullman, Alabama native began his 2016 season running for Cunningham Motorsports in ARCA. In the season opening event at Daytona, Thomas Jr. was able to navigate his car to a 7th place finish, even after he was caught up in an early race accident not of his doing that eliminated multiple cars from the race and damaged his own.
However, sponsorship woes forced him from the car after only two races. Returning to the Indiana sprint car scene and wheeling the 4J Motorsports sprint car, Thomas Jr. has ripped off six wins across the state including one in USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car action at Brownstown in May. "KTJ" was also the only driver that managed to upend Bryan Clauson as he went on a rampage during Indiana Midget Week. Thomas Jr currently leads the points standings at Kokomo Speedway by seven points over a second place Jerry Coons Jr.
Brady Short, to little surprise, also has a number of wins in 2016. The 2015 Bloomington Speedway track champion has picked up four victories at that track this year and currently sits atop the track standings. Short won the Amati Classic at Paragon Speedway on June 18 and also at Lincoln Park Speedway in Putnamville in May.
In terms of track championship races, Indiana sprint car fans will be treated to a number of battles throughout the remainder of the season.
At Lawrenceburg Speedway, Jarett Andretti leads the standings by just 10 points over 2014 track champion Shawn Westerfeld. Westerfeld, who is running for points in the Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series (BOSS), has taken the checkers three times at the track in 2016 and will need to repeat that feat multiple times to stay close in the standings as the BOSS series will, from time to time, pull him away from his usual duties in Lawrenceburg on Saturday nights.
There is tight two-driver battle going on this season at Bloomington Speedway. Brady Short currently sits atop the standings behind four wins on the red clay. However, Short's lead is only by four points over Jeff Bland Jr. who has finished up front consistently all season although he has yet to win a race in Bloomington this summer.
Paragon Speedway has also provided for a close points battle this season. Jake Scott, the defending track champion, started 2016 strong ripping off two victories in the first two events at Paragon. However, Scott had hit a dry spot until winning his third race of the season last Saturday night helping him gain ground in the standings. Scott currently sit 37 points back of leader Josh Cunningham. Andrew Prather, who has collected a win this year, sits in second place only three points behind Cunningham.
As mentioned earlier, Kevin Thomas Jr. has driven a dominant car in many of the races he has entered this season and that kind of driving has him sitting atop the standings at Kokomo Speedway. Thomas Jr. currently leads veteran driver Jerry Coons Jr. by seven points while Illinois driver Chris Windom sits just 12 points back in third place.
Shane Cockrum has had a consistent season at Lincoln Park Speedway in Putnamville. Cockrum has tallied two victories at LPS this year and holds a commanding lead in the points. The nearest competitor being Kevin Thomas Jr. who is 76 points behind.
On the USAC side of life, Brady Bacon leads the championship standings by 104 points over Thomas Meseraull and 148 points ahead of Chase Stockon. Robert Ballou, the defending USAC sprint car champion, enters Indiana Sprint Week with the hot hand having won two of the last three series events and has won four events total in 2016.
Following the seven rounds of Indiana Sprint Week, the USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Cars are scheduled to make multiple other appearances in the Hoosier State before heading west to conclude their 2016 campaign.
In the Midwest Sprint Car Series (MSCS) the field is currently chasing Brandon Morin. Morin leads second place Brady Short by 10 points while Carson Short sits 15 points back in third. There are currently seven races remaining on the MSCS schedule, all in Indiana.
There has been plenty of winged sprint car action around the state this year as well.
Brad Sweet, David Gravel, Shane Stewart and Donny Schatz have all picked up victories this year with the World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series in Indiana. Schatz currently leads the points standings for the series by 72 over Brad Sweet. Unfortunately the series has no other dates scheduled in Indiana for the remainder of the season.
The Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions have yet to make an appearance in Indiana this season but that will be remedied later this month when the series will visit Kokomo Speedway for the two day Indiana Dirt Classic. The Tony Stewart owned series will also pay a visit to Brownstown Speedway in August.
The Neal Tire Midwest Open Wheel Association (MOWA) sprint cars have also made multiple trips into Indiana this season. Jerrod Hull won on both occasions, once at Bloomington and the other victory coming at Tri-State Speedway in Haubstadt. Hull also leads the series standings.
