Ballou Banks $10K in TNT Finale at Lakeside!
KANSAS CITY, Kan. (August 16, 2008) – Robert Ballou cashed in on the biggest O''Reilly Sprint Bandits Tour ''N Topless payday of the week by snaring the win in Saturday night''s 30-lap Ron Shuman Classic at Lakeside Speedway.

Bacon edged 2008 TNT champion Dave Darland for second place, with Jesse Hockett and Cole Whitt rounding out the top five.


  • Bacon Cooks Up TNT Three-Peat in Lakeside Prelim
    KANSAS CITY, Kan. (August 15, 2008) – Oklahoma's Brady Bacon just found victory lane in the "traditional" 410-ci Sprint Car ranks two nights earlier.

    Now, the third generation shoe seems to be unstoppable as he snared his third O'Reilly Sprint Bandits Tour 'N Topless Midwest Swing feature win in as many nights by topping Friday night's 25-lap preliminary feature event at Lakeside Speedway.

    Bacon took full advantage of a late caution to overtake race-long leader and current TNT points leader Dave Darland on the 21st lap, ultimately beating Darland to the checkered flag with Damion Gardner and Bryan Clauson taking the final two guaranteed starting berths in Saturday night's $10,000 to win Ron Shuman Classic.


  • Bacon Outlasts Ballou in Explosive TNT Go at Creek County!
    SAPULPA, Okla. (August 14, 2008) – The Fourth Round of the Fourth Annual O'Reilly Sprint Bandits Tour 'N Topless Midwest Swing evolved into a classic shootout between Oklahoma's Brady Bacon and California native Robert Ballou.

    In the end, Bacon backed up his win one night earlier by emerging atop after a handful of lead exchanges in the final circuits of Thursday night's 30-lap main event atop the ¼-mile Creek County Speedway clay oval.

    Bacon and Ballou were chased to the stripe by early leader Thomas Meseraull, 17th-starter Daron Clayton and Jesse Hockett.


  • Bacon Sizzles in TNT Round Three at OKC!
    OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. (August 13, 2008) – Brady Bacon rarely gets the opportunity to race in his native state of Oklahoma. In fact, prior to Wednesday night, he hadn''t ever raced a non-wing 410-ci Sprint Car in the Sooner State.

    The third generation shoe made the most of his initial opportunity by capturing his first career feature win in the "traditional" 410-ci ranks by racing to victory lane in the O''Reilly Sprint Bandits Tour ''N Topless Midwest Swing 30-lap main event at State Fair Speedway.

    Bacon took the checkered flag in front of Jesse Hockett, Dave Darland, Koby Barksdale and Darren Hagen.


  • Darland Collects Fist Full of TNT Dollars in Husker Nationals!
    GREENWOOD, Neb. (August 12, 2008) – For the second year in a row, Indiana''s Dave Darland left Nebraska Raceway Park''s I-80 Speedway with a fist full of two-dollar bills.

    Two thousand of them to be exact, as he collected the $4,000 winner''s share by topping the second round of the Fourth Annual O''Reilly Sprint Bandits Tour ''N Topless Midwest Swing in Tuesday night''s 30-lap Husker Nationals main event.

    Darland fought off Brady Bacon much of the way, then survived a late restart to take the checkered flag in front of Damion Gardner, Robert Ballou, 13th-starter Darren Hagen and Charles Davis, Jr.


  • Ballou Best in TNT Opener at Lucas Oil Speedway
    WHEATLAND, Mo. (August 11, 2008) – Robert Ballou opened up the 2008 edition of the O''Reilly Sprint Bandits Tour ''N Topless Midwest Swing in the same way that he finished out the 2007 version; by standing in victory lane.

    Ballou wrestled the lead away from Dave Darland on the 21st lap and went on to capture his fifth career TNT feature win in Monday night''s 30-lap main event at Lucas Oil Speedway, cashing in on a $4,000 payday aboard Dallas Mulvaney''s Don Ott-powered MPHG Promotions No 81 Maxim.

    Darland chased Ballou to the stripe, with Casey Shuman, Levi Jones and Gary Taylor rounding out the top five.
