6-25-2002

USAC Stoops Freightliner SeriesLAKEVILLE, IN (June 19-22) -- The USAC Stoops Freightliner Sprint Car Series contested the "Buckeye Nationals" at four different dirt tracks in Ohio over the weekend. When all the dust had settled, a Hoosier-shod car was in the winner's circle in three of the four night's of racing. J.J. Yeley won the second and third nights at Fremont and Lima, while Tony Elliott won the finale contested at Eldora. While the USAC Series competes exclusively on Hoosier tires on pavement, the Sprint Series remains wide open for all tire manufacturers to compete--as was the case in Ohio for the Buckeye Nationals.
