Bacon Set for Indiana Midget Week after pair of World of Outlaw Feature Runs!
WINCHESTER, Ind. (June 4, 2019) – After taking in the World of Outlaws’ inaugural “Music City Nationals” at the Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway over the weekend, Brady Bacon is ready to chase checkered flags over the entirety of USAC’s Indiana Midget Week.
Bacon takes the wheel of Daryl Saucier’s No. 1st for the six-night set in the Hoosier State that fires off Tuesday night at Montpelier Motor Speedway before moving on to Gas City I-69 Speedway, Lincoln Park Speedway (Putnamville), Bloomington Speedway, Lawrenceburg Speedway and Kokomo Speedway over the ensuing five nights.
Bacon will pull double-duty over half of the six-race stretch while competing in the Longworth No. 410 Non-Wing Sprint Car at the Montpelier, Gas City and Lawrenceburg stops.
Making his first complete World of Outlaws starts of the season over the weekend, “The Macho Man” raced into the feature both nights at the Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway amongst fields of approximately 40 cars.
Christening the dirt atop Nashville asphalt on Friday, Bacon timed in ninth in his group and earned the 17th starting position for the feature after a fifth-place heat race run and then finished the night out in 17th.
After a less than desirable qualifying run on Saturday, Bacon rebounded to race from eighth to fifth in heat race action to secure the 17th starting position once again. Bacon worked his way forward to complete the weekend with a 13th place finish.
“It was a lot like racing Midgets at Du Quoin,” Bacon said of the Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway. “You could get around the top for ten laps or so and then it was mostly on the bottom. It was a neat event though, hopefully we’ll be able to go back next year.”
