If Dion Hindi wasn’t racing sprint cars, 90 nights a year, he would certainly make a good philosopher. The second-generation driver is always able to thoroughly analyze situations both in and out of the race car from multiple angles, and is very adept at finding a silver lining in even the most dire of circumstances.
This week, he will return to a track that he ran very well at last season, the high-banked quarter-mile bullring, Tri-State Speedway in Haubstadt, Indiana, on Saturday, April 21. Even with a solid run last season at the track, Hindi, a native of Albuquerque, New Mexico holistically views the track the exact same he does each and every track he visits from coast-to-coast, whether he has been there a single time or many times.
“It’s another race track,” said Hindi, driver of the Realtruck.com J&J. “It doesn’t matter what the race track is. They are all the same when you get running on them.”
Hindi has been gaining momentum the last couple weeks, after he earned a spot in the dash on April 6 at Paducah International Raceway. A solid run in that event, earned him a ninth-place starting spot in the A-Feature. That came after a very solid 10th-place effort in time trials with a stout 39 car field in attendance. Last season, he won two dashes to earn two pole positions, in addition to setting fast time twice, including at the famed Williams Grove Speedway in Pennsylvania.
