BRYAN CLAUSON NOW TWO FOR TWO IN EASTERN STORM, SIMON CLAIMS FIRST EVER USAC WIN ON THIRLLING NIGHT AT LINCOLN
ABBOTTSTOWN, PA (June 8, 2016) – Noblesville, IN’s Bryan Clauson claimed his second straight Eastern Storm victory in the non-stop 30 lap USAC AMSOIL National Non-Wing Sprint Car Championship event while Tipp City, OH’s Landon Simon picked up his first ever USAC victory in the 25 lap make-up feature. Jeff Halligan held off a determined Chandler Leiby to win the exciting twenty lap 358 Sprint car feature. Twenty-nine USAC sprint cars were on hand with thirty-one 358 sprints taking part in the Wednesday night show at the Lincoln Speedway.
In the first of two USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car Championship Series events, Fremont, CA’s Shane Golobic shot from the pole to take the early lead in the 30 lap A-main event, with Chase Stockon – rocketing on the high-side of the Speedway from the sixth starting position -- following right on his rear bumper. Stockon took the top spot from Golobic on the fifth circuit and pulled a five car lead.
With Stockon powering away, Bryan Clauson charged into 2nd place with his sights set on the leader. Stockon hammered away on the high side as Clauson began to close in just prior to the half way point. Chris Windom made his intentions known as he battled into the third position.
While at one time in Clauson’s sights, Stockon charged forward to an almost 10 car lead while Clauson fought to hold off third place runner, Chris Windom at the halfway point.
Stockon hit lapped traffic on the 18th circuit running in the middle of corners one and two, while Clauson – holding off a hard charging Windom – raced around the high side of the Speedway.
Clauson slid passed Stockon with five-laps remaining quickly pulling a strong lead and claiming his second straight Eastern Storm Victory in a caution free 30 lap event. Clauson earned $6,000 for the victory. Windom would pull by Stockon to claim second position, with Thomas Meseraull and Shane Golobic rounding out the top five finishers.
In the make-up USAC A-main, Landon Simon charged, from the front row, into the lead on the initial start while CJ Leary raced around just inches from the outside guardrail – powering from the sixth starting spot in 2nd position by the third circuit.
The first caution of the evening fell on the ninth lap with an incident that included earlier winner Bryan Clauson and retiring the cars of Thomas Meseraull, Tony DiMattia and Shane Cottle.
Simon launched away on the restart followed quickly by Brady Bacon and Aaron Farney. Switching from running the far top side to the bottom, Bacon closed on Simon running some of his fastest laps of the evening. Inch-by-inch Bacon closed on Simon and was within two car lengths with five laps to go, while Aaron Farney stayed right on their tail.
Bacon moved to the outside coming to the checkered flag but couldn’t make it all the way. Landon Simon would claim his first USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car Championship win. Simon earned $3,000 for the win. Brady Bacon would settle for second, Aaron Farney finished third, Kyle Moody was fourth and CJ Leary came home in fifth.
Ephrata, PA’s Jeff Halligan held off a hard charging Chandler Leiby to pick up the win in the 20 Lap 358 Sprint Car event and claim the $1,000 top prize. Brie Hersey jumped to the early lead before emitting a puff of smoke just prior to the halfway point sidelining the No. 91 machine. Halligan inherited the lead racing hard around the top side with Leiby closing on the bottom. The only other yellow flag flew on the eleventh circuit but that didn’t slow Halligan’s efforts. He ran away at the re-start and claiming his 3rd career Lincoln Speedway victory and his first of the season.
Leiby settled for second place, Matt Campbell finished in third, Jordan Givler in the fourth position and Doug Hammaker completed the top five.

USAC NON WING SPRINTS & MACH 1 360/358 WING SPRINTS SHOWCASE WEDNESDAY NIGHT, JUNE 3 RUB RAILS & ROOSTER TAILS EVENT AT LINCOLN SPEEDWAY 7PM STARTING TIME
Abbottstown, PA . . . . . .. Non-Wing Sprints and Wing Sprints make-up a very special double header of “Rub Rails & Rooster Tails” racing event on Wednesday night, June 3 at the Lincoln Speedway. The Eastern Storm Amsoil Non-Wing USAC Sprints and the Mach 1 Chassis 360/358 sprints will battle in qualifying heats all leading up to four feature events. Gates will open at 5 PM with USAC time trials taking the green flag at 7.
Heading into the event, all eyes are on “The People’s Champ” Dave Darland as he chases his 100th USAC victory in the three national series, putting him in the history books with the likes of A.J. Foyt, Rich Vogler and Mel Kenyon as the only drivers to reach the coveted USAC 100 career win mark.
Darland, of Kokomo, IN -- currently sits third in the Series points standing behind Robert Ballou (Rocklin, CA) and Chase Stockon (Elizabethtown, IN) and holds two AMSOIL USAC National Sprint Car victories this season.
Prior to last year’s postponement Darland was awarded the fast qualifier award with a time of 15.174 – a new track record. An ultra-fast racing surface led to a lot of wheel standing down the Lincoln Speedway straight-a-ways and to the top-9 cars besting the previous Lincoln Speedway USAC track record.
Plenty of racing is planned with the USAC wingless Sprints running a complete show of time trials, heats and a $6,000 to win feature event plus a 25-lap make-up feature. The line-up for the make-up feature will be determined by inverting all cars on the lead lap from the first USAC feature of the night. This should guarantee plenty of passing as the top USAC stars make a second charge to the front of the pack. Nationally ranked drivers Jon Stanbrough, Kevin Thomas Jr., Tracy Hines, CJ Leary and 2014 Eastern Storm Champion, Brady Bacon will all be in attendance. While regional stars Brent Marks, Joe Biasi, Trevor Kobylarz, Brian Allman and Michael Hamer will all be searching for the top prize.
Rounding out the event will be a complete show for the Mach 1 Chassis 360/358 Winged Sprint Cars plus a 25-lap make-up feature and a postponed B-Main from 2014. The MACH 1 Chassis 25 lap feature will pay $2,500 to win and the second 360/358 Sprint will pay $2,000 to the winner. Each feature will pay $200 to start the main event.
General Admission ticket pricing for Wednesday, June 3 is $25 for Adults, Students 12-17: $20, Children 6-11 are $10 and Kids 5 & under are FREE! Pit Admission pricing is $30.
Gates open at 5 PM with USAC Time Trials starting at 7 PM.
