Saturday, January 24.

Earlier start time tonight. Racing at 5PM MT (7 ET)

Stream live online via SpeedShiftTV. $19.95 for a Saturday pass, $34.95 for a 2 day pass.

Defending USAC national Champion Brady Bacon was victorious last night. RJ Johnson came in second, with The People's Champ, Dave Darland rounding out the podium. Ryan Bernal looks to rebound from a disappointing brush with the wall, ending his night while leading the A main.

Bernal wins over Dave Darland by .005 seconds on a last lap, last corner pass!! RJ Johnson third, Bacon fourth. Story and full results

Title says it all.

...about USAC awareness in Minnesota (where I live).

1. There exist people who cannot wrap their minds around non-wing sprint cars. "How the hell does that work?!?" Um, almost the same as a winged sprint?

2. This is more my fault (by wearing the shirt), but no one knows how to pronounce Boespflug.

3. A few of my friends had no idea Jeff Gordon ran USAC, or even ran on dirt. Like, wow.

4. "Midgets? That's, like, kind of offensive, isn't it?"

5. Equally mindblowing is the concept of racing indoors.

And, while watching Dirty30 with my old man, he looked at me and asked, "what the hell's a Bose Plug?", said "I think they spelled that Stockton kid's name wrong", stated "I thought that Dave Darland was an announcer", and finally "Brady Bacon? heh heh, oink oink!"

The struggle is real.

Not a lot of live updates coming from the web, but I'll post what information I can.

Entrants include defending National Sprint Car Champion Brady Bacon, Dave Darland, Ryan Bernal, and other regulars from the USAC West Coast and Southwest Sprints.

Edit: Heat race line ups. Not a great turnout. Only 14 cars signed in.

Edit 2: Ryan Bernal won his heat from 7th. Will start 6th in the A main

Edit 3: Looks like Bernal took a nasty ride in the A

Edit 4: BRADY BACON WINS!!!

It was a great race if you missed it. Plus it'll be shown without all the delays.
