Lawrenceburg, Indiana (July 21, 2019)………C.J. Leary has been remarkably consistent throughout the first four races of NOS Energy Drink Indiana Sprint Week, with no finishes outside the top-three.

Leary began the week with three-straight second place finishes at Gas City, Plymouth and Kokomo before grabbing a third-place result Sunday at Lawrenceburg. Leary, who already claimed an Eastern Storm title in June and occupies the top spot in the USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship standings, leads the ISW standings by 11 over defending ISW champ Chris Windom (Canton, Ill.).
Brady Bacon of Broken Arrow, Okla. is third (-21) ahead of Ione, California’s Justin Grant in fourth (-41) while Kevin Thomas, Jr. of Cullman, Ala. occupies the fifth spot (-54).
The series continues this Wednesday, July 24, with round five and the start of the second half of ISW at the Terre Haute Action Track.
