With just a few laps to go, Bryan Smith on the #42 Crosley Radio/Howerton Motorsports powered by Eaken Racing/Guts Wear/Dreyer Motorsports-sponsored Kawasaki 650R leads four of the finest racers in the business at the Springfield Mile II on September 16.
Round 13 of the 2012 AMA Pro Flat Track Harley-Davidson Insurance Grand National Championship presented by Motorcycle-Superstore.com season saw Flyin' Bryan finish what he had started to do at the Memorial Day Weekend running of the event by taking the checkers ahead of a stacked field of riders at one of the premier events on The Rolling Thunder Show's calendar.
In the end, Sammy Halbert on his #7 South East H-D/The South Ass/Mo Vaughn Transport/LZ Racing-backed XR750 would follow Smith home, just .041 seconds in arrears with eventual 2012 AMA Grand National Champion Jared Mees just another .222 seconds behind.
Willie McCoy on his #59 Harley-Davidson of Wausau/Independence H-D/Tucker Rocky/Arai-sponsored XR would bring it home in the 7th-place spot after close contact with Jake Johnson on the #1 Zanotti Racing/Schaeffer's H-D/Boughner Racing Suspension/Arai-backed XR on the final lap, with Johnson rounding out the top-5 behind JD Beach.
The top-7 finishers would be separated in the end by just over 1.3 seconds in what was another stellar event at the Illinois State Fairgrounds mile oval, another in a long line of great racing events as promotoed by the Illinois Motorcycle Dealers Association (IMDA).
The fine folks from the IMDA have announced special advance-purchase ticket prices and specials for the upcoming 2013 season, and as every flat track fan in the world knows Springfield is THE place to be over the Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends.
