Darland Steals the Show and Leads All 30 Laps of the Indiana Sprint Week Opener After a strong qualifying time Dave Darland took the lead on the first lap of Friday night's 30 lap feature and never looked back. Darland stole the show leading all 30 laps of the "Robbie Stanley Classic" at the Lawrenceburg Speedway. Darland was able to hold off drivers like Bryan Clauson, Chad Boat, Levi Jones and Jon Stanbrough. Darland and Clauson hit major lap traffic at lap 20 and it got interesting as the two drivers weaved in and out of the slow cars. A yellow flag came out late in the race and with just three laps to go the green flag waved. It was a shootout between Darland and Clauson to the finish and in the end experience was able to drive into victory lane as Darland took the first race of the Indiana Sprint Week.
