ISW: Rain Haults Bloomington Action

BLOOMINGTON, IN -RIS- Rain again cut short “Indiana Sprint Week” action as the heavens opened up and drenched Bloomington Speedway just as the B feature was ending. No announcement was made other than the promise of an announcement at 2pm Saturday.

Due to qualifying points Brady Bacon has overtaken Robert Ballou in the sprint week title chase.

Tracy Hines is taking a rest after last Sunday's flip at Lawrenceburg where he fractured a rib.

Saturday the series continues at Haubstadt where the series may or may not conclude according to the decision on Bloomington.
