Although his Tony Stewart Racing teammate Tracy Hines took the top spot in the time trials, Levi Jones took the checkered flag in the Tony Hulman Classic at the Terre Haute Action Track.
Jones qualified third behind Hines and Jon Stanbrough. Former TSR driver Ricky Stenhouse, JR. qualified 21st. Despite losing out in the time trials, Jones won both his heat race and the feature.
The feature included a furious battle between Jerry Coons, Jr. and Levi and they swapped the lead back and forth. The official lap leaders were: Lap 1 Coons, Laps 2-9 Jones, Laps 10-17 Coons, Laps 18-30 Jones.
Jones now lead the national sprint car standings by 20 points. The new standings are: 1-Jones-300; 2-Bacon-280; 3-Whitt-274; 4-Hines-261; 5-Hagen-260; 6-Coons-243; 7-Cottle-242; 8-Darland-220; 9-Short-209; 10-Sweet-202.
