INDIANAPOLIS — Kevin Thomas Jr. picked up his second USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship victory in the past three starts Friday night at Circle City Raceway. However, the last two laps were anything but a cake walk as, on each of the final two laps over in turns three and four, challenger Brady Bacon was able to edge ahead and challenge Thomas for the victory. “I feel like we’ve just got our program figured out,” Thomas stated. Thomas’ 1.385 second gap was gone and the two lapped cars that separated he and Bacon were now vamoosed, meaning Bacon was now going to be right on the tail of Thomas with a four-lap trophy dash being all that remained. Two initial strategies came into play over the final course with Thomas up top and Bacon down low. There, Thomas diverted back to the high side, leaving the bottom all to Bacon.
