Twin Cities Raceway Park,
North Vernon, IN. Saturday Night, June 6,
2009
Seventeen mini sprint drivers showed up for
the 1000cc Midwest Mini
Sprint Association’s race at Twin Cities. The
night was warm and the
track was dry. As usual, promoter, Mason
Fleetwood, and his staff
did an excellent job of preparing the track and
keeping the racing on
schedule.
Heat One had nine cars entered and Heat Two
had eight cars. All 17
cars transferred to the “A” Main so there was no
“B” Main. The MMSA
purse is based on car count. 20 cars or over
pays $1000 to win. Under
20 cars, the payout is $600 to win. All features
pay $100 to start,
$50 to the Hard Charger, and $50 to the top
finishing 600cc car. All
cars not making the start of the “A” Main
receive at least $40 if
they started their heat race.

The feature race was full of excitement.
Steve Bradley #68,spun out on the second lap and
collected #9C, Zack Clark. On lap 15, Andy
Bradley #8, had an oil cooler line come loose
which caused a huge oil fire as he was
attempting to pass his brother, Scott, for
second place. Once Andy got the car stopped in
turn 3, he bailed out. The fire went out without
further damage to the car but Any was out of the
race. Lynsey Tilton #37 put on another
sensational drive to earn the $50 Hard Charger
Award. Lynsey started in 17th position and
finished 6th. Gine Lowe, who started 8th in her
#3 car, drove all the way up to the third spot.
Gina finished 4th as young Nathan Mensendick #67
passed her to get third.
