“Don’t call it a comeback. I’ve been here for years,” the legendary 20th century poet, LL Cool J, once remarked. However, comebacks are in the fabric of all assets of auto racing, from drivers charging through the field, the return of prestigious events and the yeoman’s work of a crew thrashing to repair a car in the nick of time.

5. Windom Brings It Home From 14th At Kokomo
Oct 28, 2020
Chris Windom had won pretty much everything Kokomo Speedway has had to offer throughout the past decade. He’d won two Sprint Car track championships in 2010 and 2018, numerous sprint car races on the local level at the quarter-mile dirt oval, three victories the USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Cars, and was even victorious in a USAC Regional Midget feature in 2016.
Nonetheless, that one USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midget feature win at Kokomo had eluded him. On this night, the Canton, Ill. native sealed the deal and stamped the envelope en route to victory, carving his way through the field after starting 14th, during night two of the Indiana Donor Network Driven2SaveLives Double Double.
