Winchester, IN (September 29,
2008) – Brady Bacon, Carl Muffley and James Edsal all picked up
feature victories on Sunday afternoon at Winchester Speedway as part
of the Old Timers Weekend that saw over 70 vintage racecars on hand
and a great group of retired open wheel drivers that
took part in the
weekend festivities on the historic High Banks of Winchester Speedway.

Bacon took his Kasey Kahne owned USAC Sprint car to victory lane on
Sunday afternoon in the 30 lap USAC National Sprint Car Series feature
event ending a streak of five straight victories at Winchester
Speedway by car owner Keith Kuntz, whose driver Darrin Hagen, who had
won the two previous series events at Winchester Speedway in 2008,
finished in second.
Chris Windom grabbed the early lead
as cars battled for position early in the event. Bacon worked his way
to the front and made the pass in turn three on lap 11. Hagen battled
his way through the field to move into second, but could never catch
the highflying Bacon. Jacob Wilson would finish in third, Windom in
fourth and Tracy Hines in fifth. Hines was the events Fast Qualifier
while Brad Sweet, Jerry Coons Jr. and Bacon won the three 8 lap heat
races.
Carl Muffley came into Sunday’s
events as the only driver with more than one win during the
2008
season with the CRA Street Stocks, Muffley made it number three on
Sunday, it was also his third victory at Winchester Speedway this
season. Mike Miller grabbed the early lead from his outside pole
starting position and led the first 13 laps before his car suddenly
slowed with ignition problems handing the lead to Rick Erwin, the
winner of the last series event at ORP on September 20th.
Erwin had worked his way to the front
from his fourth place starting position and looked ready to join
Muffley in the multi event category when problems struck on a restart
on lap 26 when his shifter broke leaving the car in second gear. Rich
Boyer and the rest of the field managed to drive around Erwin with no
mishaps with Boyer grabbing the lead. Muffley had worked his way
through the field from his 10th place starting position to
Boyer’s bumper, Muffley then made a move and took the lead on lap 29.
Muffley would hold off Boyer on a green, white checker finish after a
late race caution to get the win.
Boyer finished in second, his best
finish of the season. Steve Blair held on to a wicked loose racecar to
finish third, also his best finish of the season. Newly crowned
