With the world of big time NASCAR readying to descend upon Indianapolis Motor Speedway this weekend for the Allstate 400, it was a young Massachusetts driver making his own history down the road from the big track at O’Reilly Raceway Park in Clermont, Ind. on Thursday evening.
Bobby Santos III picked up his first USAC Silver Crown victory Thursday and did it in impressive fashion, running away from the field to cruise easily to the win in the J.D. Byrider 100 at O’Reilly Raceway Park.
Santos, of Franklin, Mass., became the first driver this season to win all three USAC divisions, Silver Crowns, Midgets and Sprints.
“It means a ton,” the 23-year old Santos told the packed crowd at O’Reilly Raceway Park, formerly Indianapolis Raceway Park.
