Henry Van Dam earned the Travis Rutz Hard Charger title June 13 at the second annual American Sprint Car Series Big Sky Country Showdown against the Big Sky Sprint Tour. Thirty-six competitors from five states and Canada competed at Electric City Speedway in Great Falls, Mont.

VanDam finished seventh in the 30-lap A Main.

The 29-year-old Enumclaw driver, early in the season, started with a pole and A feature victory May 8 at Grays Harbor Raceway.
