actory Indian pilot Briar
Bauman entered this year's
New York Short Track in a
radically different position than he
did a year ago.
In 2021, Bauman arrived at
Weedsport Speedway firmly atop
the Progressive AFT mountain.
He was the two-time defending
Mission SuperTwins Champion
and well on his way to making it
three in a row, boasting a 25-point
advantage after scooping up the
season's previous two wins in
succession. And he was expected
to only solidify that commanding
position in New York after win-
ning the series' prior stop there in
absolutely dominating fashion.
