Kevin Thomas Jr. Returns For USAC Indiana Sprint Week

SPEEDWAY, Ind. – Two-time USAC Indiana Sprint Week champion Kevin Thomas Jr. is set to defend his title as a teammate to Carson Garrett on the BGE/Dougherty Motorsports team for the eight-race series that will take place July 22-30.

Team owners Broc Garrett and Doug Dougherty of BGE/Dougherty Motorsports will have a two-car effort for the entire Indiana Sprint Week series with Carson Garrett in car No. 15 and Thomas Jr. in a nearly identical No. 15K. Both machines are 2022 DRC chassis powered by 1-Way Technologies Chevy engines.

Thomas was the 2021 USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship points runner-up and owns 36 career series feature victories, which ranks 11th all-time. Thomas’ two Indiana Sprint Week titles came in 2017 and once more in 2021.

Garrett, meanwhile, was the 2021 Midwest Sprint Car Series runner-up in addition to being named Rookie of the Year.
