METRO ROUNDUP: Sullivan driver claims $10,000 prize with USAC win

LAWRENCEBURG — Chase Stockon picked a good time to win a U.S. Auto Club sprint car feature race.

Driving the First National Bank-Superior Tank and Trailer No. 32 car Saturday night, Stockon led all the way to win the 30-lap Fall Nationals feature race at Lawrenceburg Speedway and took home $10,000.

Stockon qualified seventh fastest in the 39-car field and never trailed in the main event to win the big money.

The win came after the Sullivan driver had had racked up nine first-five finishes this season and six weeks after he had lost his mother, Laura, to ovarian cancer.

“I can’t even tell you what I think right now. It hasn’t sunk in yet. I just can’t put into words what it means … to get our first USAC win. We’ve come so close and just didn’t know what we could do to make it happen,” said Stockon after the race.

“Tonight just went as perfectly as it could. I really wish my mom could have been here to see me win this one but I know she was watching us. We are a small team and we’ve kept it all year; so this is a huge win,” he said.

Dave Darland finished 19th and maintained his lead in the sprint point totals going into an Oct. 12 race in Terre Haute. Stockon is seventh in the totals.

Saturday’s action was sanctioned by USAC and Midwest Sprint Car Series.

    What do the Bombers, who now ply their trade in the Ohio Valley League, have to do with the Sliders, or for that matter, the Terre Haute Rex?
    When the Bombers left the Prospect League it created a situation where the Prospect League’s West Division teams — the Rex and Sliders both being members — had one less opponent to play in intradivision play.

  • Super Bowl champion gives back to kids

    If they were quiet, several dozen youngsters were promised Friday, they could pass around a real Super Bowl ring after its owner was finished speaking to them.
    The response was near silence, and before long Steve Weatherford’s treasured jewelry was circulating throughout the cafeteria at Terre Haute North High School.
    It’s hard to imagine, however, what kind of din would have prompted Weatherford to leave the ring on his finger, because he could relate to the most impish of his listeners.

    Maybe the prospect of ISU’s season had me so pumped that I decided to get it started close to three hours early? (Or more truthfully, maybe I was over-vigilent about predicted traffic horrors on the Indiana 46 bypass that never came to pass.)
