BACON BANKS ELDORA "FOUR CROWN" SPRINT CAR VICTORY

BACON BANKS ELDORA "FOUR CROWN" SPRINT CAR VICTORY

Rossburg, Ohio......Brady Bacon continued his hot streak and big-track success with another half-mile victory during Sunday afternoon's "Four Crown Nationals" at Eldora Speedway. The Broken Arrow, Oklahoma driver flashed past race-long leader Robert Ballou on lap 28 to score his fourth win of the season.

Ballou led from the front row as Bacon followed him on the high side to claim second as they exited the second corner on the opening lap. They ran the extreme high side until the track started to lay rubber just before halfway. Bacon missed the rubber a bit on a lap-twelve restart, allowing a hard-charging Bryan Clauson, who had taken the ProSource "Fast Time Award" on Saturday, to get to second and set up an assault on Ballou for the lead.

After a red flag on lap 20 for Kevin Thomas, Jr., Clauson got a bad restart this time, and Bacon moved past him for the second spot. He reeled in Ballou, and just as he closed on his tailtank, Ballou got tight as he missed his line a bit in turn-two. Bacon flashed by as Ballou fought to get himself back down from the cushion, and he and Clauson made contact. Ballou bounced and turned over, but was unhurt.

The restart came with just three laps to go, and Bacon was untouchable. He made it his eighth career win in the Hoffman Auto Racing - Mean Green #69 Triple X/Stanton Mopar.

Clauson came home second in the Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing - Chevy Performance #20 Beast/Kistler, and Justin Grant rounded out the podium in the Mark Knupp's Tire & Muffler - Dick's Paint & Body #40 DRC/Claxton.

Tracy Hines finished fourth in The Carolina Nut Company - Hansen's Welding #4 DRC/Stanton Chevy, and Hunter Schuerenberg rounded out the top-five in the Ron Gorby's Howard Johnson - Roof Bolt Xpress #20N Mach-1/Rider.
