HAUBSTADT, Ind. — Rain slammed Tri-State Speedway just before hot laps on Saturday night, forcing cancellation of the finale of the 36th annual edition of USAC NOS Energy Drink Indiana Sprint Week presented by Honest Abe Roofing.
Torrential rainstorms heavily saturated the race track, infield and pit area as tornado sirens sounded when the racing program was just about set to begin. There will be no makeup date.
As such, Brady Bacon is officially the champion of USAC Indiana Sprint Week by an eight-point margin over Justin Grant. It’s Bacon’s second Indiana Sprint Week championship after previously taking the crown in 2016.
Thirty-eight cars and drivers were on hand for the Tri-State event before the rain came.
