NASCAR action returns to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on July 29 with Nationwide Series and Sprint Cup action and other races on the oval.

Cody Thornton of West Vigo is on the Class 3A team while Brock Dowell of Shakamak is a Class A honoree.

Earning honorable mention are Cody Gardner of Terre Haute North in 4A, Brian Dale of Cloverdale in 2A and Brett Yeryar and Patrick Green of Shakamak in Class A.

Gardner and Pete Lannoo of Terre Haute South are two members of the academic all-state team. Congrats to all.

Roman was a standout player at Terre Haute North and Indiana State.

The Pacers will have a chance to match the offer if Hibbert signs Portland’s offer sheet as expected.
