Billy Marvel Classic at LPS!
MARVEL, HURTUBISE CLASSICS
AT PUTNAMVILLE, TERRE HAUTE
Levi Jones of Olney, Ill. will try to hang
onto his USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car lead
this weekend as the series makes stops at two
western Indiana dirt ovals.
Friday night’s race is the “Billy Marvel
Classic” at Lincoln Park Speedway in
Putnamville, while Saturday night’s race is the
“Jim Hurtubise Classic” at the Terre Haute
Action Track.
Dickie Gaines won at Putnamville in July,
while Jon Stanbrough and Jerry Coons Jr. have
won races at Terre Haute this season. Jones was
second at Terre Haute in May and third at
Putnamville in July.
Damion Gardner trails Jones by only 72
points in the National standings but finds
himself 117 back in the Sprint car dirt-track
points for the year.
Significant prizes for preliminary race
winners and feature lap leaders have been raised
for Friday’s “Billy Marvel Classic” and numerous
door prizes also await race fans at Putnamville.
The race honors the late USAC Sprint driver who
lost his life in a racing accident at
Putnamville in 1983.
Saturday’s “Jim Hurtubise Classic” at Terre
Haute pays tribute to one of USAC’s all-time
greatest Sprint Car pilots. Hurtubise, who
passed away in 1989, won 18 USAC Sprint car
races, including an incredible string of five in
a row at Terre Haute! He also competed in 10
Indianapolis 500s and won a NASCAR race at
Atlanta, Ga.
