Lawrenceburg, IN -- In many respects, it’s been a rollercoaster of a season thus far for Ryan Timms during the early part of the USAC NOS Energy Drink Midget National Championship calendar.

In fact, it’s been just about as much of a rollercoaster as was a single lap around Lawrenceburg (Ind.) Speedway’s lightning fast 3/8-mile dirt oval during Saturday night’s penultimate round of USAC Indiana Midget Week.

After winning May’s series season opener at the Belleville (Kan.) Short Track, the Oklahoma City, Okla. racer endured a streak of six straight finishes outside the top-10, a cold snap that lasted well past the halfway mark of IMW.

After Timms’ Keith Kunz/Curb-Agajanian Motorsports teammate Buddy Kofoid won twice, and also finished second and fourth during the first four rounds of IMW, Kofoid exited the stage prior to the weekend due to sprint car racing obligations.

At Bloomington, the executive decision was made to plug Timms in the cockpit of the car Kofoid had driven to success. Following a sixth-place finish at Bloomington in the car, Timms was finally back on an upswing which culminated with his victory at Lawrenceburg.

In what amounted to his first visit of any kind to Lawrenceburg, Timms was superb, leading 28 of the 30-lap distance aboard his JBL Audio – TRD – Mobil 1/Bullet By Spike/Speedway Toyota, a night which also involved having to keep at bay the high point man for Indiana Midget Week to date, Logan Seavey, throughout the rigorous latter stages.
