Around the World in Motorsports: July 12

- Things were rather rough in last night's Redbud 400 at Indiana's Anderson Speedway. Following a yellow thrown for Stephen Nasse spinning out Caleb Armstrong, Kyle Crump executed a bump-and-run on Austin Nason to take the lead and hold on for the win. Sammy Smith was second, then Nason and Greg Van Alst. Nasse recovered from being sent to the rear for spinning Armstrong out to finish fifth.

- Tonight's rescheduled Horsepower 100 for the Super DIRTcar Series at Albany-Saratoga Speedway has been cancelled due to a substantial amount of rain, more rain in the forecast and a threat of thunderstorms.
