The Buckeye State
The 41st annual Ohio Sprint Speedweek presented by Cometic Gasket enters its second week of competition with a return to Eldora Speedway on Friday and the Dean Knittel Memorial, paying $22,554 to win wrapping the nine-night event on Saturday at Portsmouth Raceway Park.

Jared Mees will look to continue his prowess on mile race tracks when AFT stops at the Du Quoin (Ill.) State Fairgrounds, while Jett Lawrence looks to remain perfect on the motocross season, having won three straight events.
