Jul. 26—There is a reason Indianapolis has long been called the "racing capital of the world," but it really should carry over to the entire Hoosier State.This is a prime week to substantiate the claim Indiana is the center of the racing world in many ways.All this week, weather permitting, USAC has been staging the Indiana Sprint Week with races throughout the state. Last Friday at Gas City there were 52 teams on hand, and former Lucas Oil Little 500 winner Shane Cottle scored the victory.This weekend the 500 Sprint Car Tour will stage events at Anderson Speedway on Saturday and at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park on Monday.
