“After a disappointing run at Eldora last Saturday, where I got taken out of the race before we even scored a lap, damaging my car badly, I am really looking forward to the races this weekend at Gas City and Kokomo - I won at Kokomo last year and ran in the top-five in points, so I’m pretty comfortable there, ” Windom said. “We didn’t get to race in the USAC show at Gas City a few weeks ago because of bad weather, so this will be our first time there this year. I’m hoping to be able to run their weekly races as much as possible when it doesn’t interfere with a USAC points-paying race. Kokomo Speedway is pretty close to our shop in Frankfort (Indiana), so we’ll be going there a lot, too. I really like that track, and now that they’ve worked on the surface, it’s going to be even better than it has been in the past. Hopefully we can do well in both races and turn our season around before racing with USAC again next weekend. ”
With engines producing upwards of 800 horsepower, the USAC National Sprint Car Series rocket ships combine the thrill of raw power with the heart-stopping action of non-wing Sprint car racing. Dirt rooster tails, wheel stands and three-wide racing are the norm when these bad boys come to town. Sprint cars also run on paved tracks, and any driver with aspirations of a championship must be able to negotiate both dirt and pavement.
