Nationals champion Jake Bubak picking up the other win in 2016.

Midgets & Street Stocks To Headline Saturday Event At Macon Speedway
(Macon, IL) – Macon Speedway is down to its last three nights of the 2019 season and this
Saturday, September 14 will be a big one. One of the fan favorite classes, the POWRi Lucas
Oil National Midget League will highlight the night as well as the Midwest Big Ten Street
Stocks in the $2,000 to win John Osman Memorial. Micros and Pro Mods are also on the card,
presented by Griz 98.1 FM and Archers Alley.
For the POWRi Lucas Oil National Midget League, “Mighty Macon” Speedway takes center stage
for only the second time this year. In Macon’s only appearance this year, Jake Neuman of
New Berlin, Ill. won his first at the iconic track on July 27. Hampered by Mother Nature,
three other POWRi dates at Macon on May 11, June 15 and August 17 have been washed away by
rain.
Leading into the weekend, only nine races remain on the calendar for the POWRi Lucas Oil
National Midgets. Jesse Colwell of Red Bluff, CA is currently on top of the point
standings with. 5,740 points aboard his Keith Kunz-Curb Agajanian Motorsports, JBL Audio,
Bullet/Toyota No. 71. Colwell is chased by three-time league champion Zach Daum (-350 PTS)
of Pocahontas, IL, teenage favorite Holley Hollan (-930 PTS) of Broken Arrow, OK, rising
rookie Daison Pursley (1,140 PTS) of Locust Grove, OK, and seasoned vet Jake Neuman (1,150
PTS) of New Berlin, IL.
The POWRi Engler Machine & Tool Outlaw Micros saw their points chase take a dramatic turn
last weekend at Jacksonville with a DNF from four-time champ, Joe B. Miller. Now, it’s
Gunner Ramey of Sedalia, Mo. holding the top spot ahead of Miller (-60 PTS), Riley Goodno
(-420 PTS), Harley Hollan (-700 PTS) and Trevin Littleton (-730 PTS). The Micros will also
receive local points for the Macon Speedway Micro class presented by Bailey Chassis.
Saturday will also mark the 5th annual John Osman Memorial for the Midwest Big Ten Series
Archers Alley Street Stocks. The event will pay $2,000 to win and $100 to start and will
draw some of the best Street Stock competitors in the country. Monticello, IL’s Darrell
Dick leads the Big 10 Street Stock points by just six over Cerro Gordo, IL’s Terry Reed.
Reed leads the Macon Speedway weekly points.
Rounding out Saturday’s action will be the Neal Tire & Auto Pro Mods. Tim Hancock claimed
last week’s feature, not only in the Pro Mod class but also the A-Mod class. Hancock has a
92 point lead over Nick Justice in the Pro Mod class. Rob Timmons had a strong second
place run on Saturday and is third in points, while Tim Riech and Roy Magee complete the
top five. For Hancock, Saturday’s win was his 12th of the season at Macon in the class.
The pits will open at 3:00pm, grandstands at 5:00pm, with hot laps at 6:00pm and racing to
follow at 7:00pm. Grandstand admission is $18 for adults and free for kids 11 and under.

JIM HURTUBISE CLASSIC COMING TO TERRE HAUTE FRIDAY NIGHT
By: Richie Murray – USAC Media
Terre Haute, Indiana (September 9, 2019)………Friday’s Jim Hurtubise Classic begins a USAC
AMSOIL National Sprint Car doubleheader weekend in the Hoosier state this Friday,
September 13, at one of USAC’s longest-tenured venues, the Terre Haute Action Track, which
hosted its first USAC Sprint Car event more than six decades ago, in 1957.
Friday’s race honors the most successful USAC Sprint Car driver in those early years at
the Wabash Valley Fairgrounds half-mile, Jim Hurtubise, who won five-straight between 1960
and 1962. “Herk,” a 1993 inductee into the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame, first had an
event in his name at the Terre Haute Action Track in 1990, less than a year following his
passing, a race won by Jack Hewitt.
This year, the event enters its 20th running with two-time USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car
champion Brady Bacon scoring the most recent victory at the Hurtubise Classic last
September. Bacon has had a notable run of success in the event as one of three drivers to
win the Hurtubise Classic on multiple occasions, first winning in the Fall of 2014 aboard
the Dynamics, Inc. No. 69. The Terre Haute USAC one-lap track record holder from Broken
Arrow, Okla. aims to become the first driver to pilot the Dynamics, Inc. to victory lane
at Terre Haute twice following previous singular victories by Robbie Stanley (1993), Tracy
Hines (2003) and Jerry Coons, Jr. (2010).
Chris Windom (Canton, Ill.) is one of the three multiple-time Hurtubise Classic winners
alongside Hewitt and Bacon, capturing three in 2011-2016-2017. With one more victory on
Friday, he would surpass Hewitt as the winningest Hurtubise Classic driver of all-time.
Windom has won four times overall in USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car competition at Terre
Haute and once in Silver Crown, plus his latest triumph there at the western Indiana dirt
oval, scoring an MSCS win in August.
The very first win of Chase Stockon’s USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car career came right at
Terre Haute during the 2012 Jim Hurtubise Classic. The current Fort Branch, Ind. resident
who grew up in nearby Sullivan, Ind., has three USAC Sprint wins overall at Terre Haute,
including the Tony Hulman Classic in May of this year. This Friday, he hopes to become
USAC’s ultimate ironman. One more start would be his 285th consecutive with the USAC
National Sprint Car division, surpassing Levi Jones for the longest such streak in series
history.
Tyler Courtney was the victor in the USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car division’s most
recent visit to Terre Haute in July during Indiana Sprint Week where he led the final nine
laps for the victory. In fact, the Indianapolis, Ind. native swept the event, earning
quick time in qualifying, winning his heat and pulling off the trifecta in the A-Main.
Courtney has won three of the last five at Terre Haute and is the most recent winner in
the series, in August at Kokomo (Ind.) Speedway.
The last driver to win at Terre Haute before Courtney began his run of three out of five
at the beginning of the 2018 season is Kevin Thomas, Jr. Thomas (Cullman, Ala.) has won
twice at the Action Track in USAC National Sprint competition. He emerged victorious
after a scintillating battle with Dave Darland during the final laps of the ISW round in
2013, then reigned supreme near the end of 2017. Like Courtney, he’s gunning for his
first Hurtubise Classic win, where he finished 5th a year ago.
So is C.J. Leary, who’s stood in victory lane once before with USAC at Terre Haute after
scoring his first career National series win in a Silver Crown car at the Sumar Classic in
2016. Leary was 9th and 6th in his two Terre Haute starts this year en route to the
121-point lead in the series standings he holds entering Friday’s race. The Greenfield,
Ind. driver was quick time in qualifying at Terre Haute in May, one of his series-leading
eight this year. He led the first five laps and finished 4th in the 2018 Hurtubise
Classic.
Justin Grant (Ione, Calif.) led 21 laps and finished 2nd in the series appearance at Terre
Haute in July. He took 5th in May and is 4th in the series standings entering Friday’s
event at Terre Haute where he has not yet won at in USAC competition. He owns two USAC
National Sprint points-paying wins this season as well as a special event at Kokomo in
August.
Jason McDougal (Broken Arrow, Okla.), a winner in both USAC’s National Sprint Car and
Midget series in 2019, earned a 7th place finish in his Terre Haute USAC Sprint Car debut
in 2018. He was 10th in his first Hurtubise Classic appearance last Fall and took 7th
again in his return to Terre Haute this past May.
Isaac Chapple (Willow Branch, Ind.) took 13th in his most recent Hurtubise Classic ride
last September. The 2016 USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car Rookie of the Year was the hard
charger at Terre Haute back in May, finishing 10th. He was 12th during the series return
in July and resides 10th in the series standings.
The 163rd USAC Sprint Car event at the Terre Haute Action Track will also have the DIRTcar
Modifieds on hand. Pits open at 3pm Eastern, grandstands at 4pm and cars on track at
6:30pm. Adult grandstand tickets are $25 while adult infield tickets are $15. Kids 11
and under are free. Pit passes are $35 apiece.
The Jim Hurtubise Classic will have live, flag-to-flag coverage on FloRacing. You can
listen to live audio of the broadcast for free on the USAC app or follow along with live
updates on
https://www.facebook.com/usacracing/ and
https://twitter.com/USACNation/ with live timing and
scoring available on both the USAC and Race-Monitor apps.
Friday's Terre Haute race is the first of a set of two USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car
events this weekend, followed the next night, Saturday night, September 14, at Tri-State
Speedway in Haubstadt, Ind. for the Haubstadt Hustler.

CHAMP CARS BACK ON THE PAVEMENT IN VOGLER CLASSIC SATURDAY
By: Richie Murray – USAC Media
Brownsburg, Indiana (September 2, 2019)………The 26th edition of the Rich Vogler Classic
arrives at Lucas Oil Raceway in Brownsburg, Ind. this Saturday, September 7, for the sixth
and final appearance of the USAC Silver Crown Champ Car Series on pavement in 2019.
The pavement has been mostly dominated by one driver this season, point leader Kody
Swanson (Kingsburg, Calif.), who’s won the pole and the race at four of the five so far:
Memphis, Toledo, Madison and Salem. However, the one missing from Swanson’s resume this
year is the .686-mile Lucas Oil Raceway where he once again won the pole and led the first
53 laps until dropping to the sideline with an engine issue while leading.
Hamilton took control from that point forward, leading all but one lap to score his
first career series victory. It’s been a career year in the series for the Danville, Ind.
native with four top-five finishes in five starts.
Kody’s younger brother Tanner Swanson (Kingsburg, Calif.) was a hard-charger after
electing to start from the tail, then pitting, and restarting from the tail, and still
managed to drive to second. He’s a two-time Rich Vogler Classic winner himself in 2013 and
2015 and a five-time Silver Crown winner at LOR. With one more win at LOR, he would become
the winningest Silver Crown driver at the track, breaking a tie with Mike Bliss.
Between Tanner and four-time winners Kody Swanson and Bobby Santos (Franklin, Mass.),
they have won 12 of the 14 Silver Crown races at LOR since 2011. Santos won the first Rich
Vogler Classic at LOR with Silver Crown cars after the event moved from Winchester (Ind.)
Speedway in 2012. He won the most recent as well back in 2017 after last year’s event was
washed away by Mother Nature.
Since 2011, the only ones to break up the Tanner, Kody, and Santos stranglehold at LOR
has been Hamilton and David Byrne (Shullsburg, Wisc.), who used a last-lap last corner
pass of Tanner to win the 2014 Vogler Classic in dramatic fashion, his first and only
series victory thus far.
Finishing behind Hamilton at the line in May’s race was Tanner Swanson, Bobby Santos,
Justin Grant and Eric Gordon. Gordon (Fortville, Ind.) is a three-time USAC National
Sprint Car feature winner at LOR, taking victories in three-straight seasons in
1990-91-92. Gordon’s Vogler Classic debut came in the inaugural 1991 edition, finishing
16th in both the sprint and midget features that afternoon at Winchester.
Brian Gerster (Fishers, Ind.) finished 7th in May’s race. His first two career USAC
National Midget wins came at LOR in 1994-95. Gerster was fast qualifier in a sprint car at
the Vogler Classic in 1999. He finished a best of 4th twice in the Vogler Classic, in a
midget in 1996 and in a sprint car in 1997.
Pits open for the Rich Vogler Classic at noon eastern on Saturday, Sept. 7. Grandstands
open at 3pm, Silver Crown practice at 4:15pm, Silver Crown qualifying at 6:30pm and the
green flag for the USAC Silver Crown main event slated for 7:45pm. The Speed51 Super
Select will follow.
Advance general admission tickets are $25 for adults and $10 for children (11 & under).
Race day general admission tickets are $30 for adults and $10 for children (11 & under).
Pit passes are $30 for USAC members and $35 for non-members.
Speed51 Super Select joins the USAC Silver Crown Champ Cars on the event card. That
event will feature some of the best drivers in Late Model racing competing in an
invitational.
The Rich Vogler Classic will have live, flag-to-flag coverage on FloRacing. You can
listen to live audio of the broadcast for free on the USAC app or follow along with live
updates on https://www.facebook.com/usacracing/ and https://twitter.com/USACNation/ with
live timing and scoring available on both the USAC and Race-Monitor apps.
