— Bloomington Speedway is an auto racing gem, from the red clay on the high banks to the lush green grass that lies on the hillside. Kevin Thomas Jr. captured a victory in the most recent spring USAC race at Bloomington in 2021. Bacon has finished 2nd, 1st & 2nd in his three most recent Bloomington USAC Sprint starts while Thomas Jr. needs only one more victory this Friday to equal Clauson as the winningest USAC Sprint Car driver at the track with five. Bloomington is a homecoming to one of his finest USAC performances when he took 5th in 2019. Four more in this Friday’s field have won a USAC Sprint Car race at Tri-State, but a win has eluded them thus far at Bloomington.
