Port Royal, Pennsylvania (June 20, 2026)………Precipitation rained down on Pennsylvania’s Port Royal Speedway midway through USAC Silver Crown practice, resulting in the cancellation of USAC Eastern Blast at the 1/2-mile dirt oval.
Seventeen USAC Silver Crown drivers and cars were on hand for the event.
After an earlier rain delay of nearly three hours, USAC Silver Crown competitors took the track where eight of the 12 cars that recorded a time in practice were under the official track record of 19.816 seconds set by Brady Bacon in 2024.
Chase Stockon was the fastest of all with a staggeringly fast lap of 18.591 seconds, nearly 1.3 seconds faster than the official two-year-old record.
However, the show never extended past that point, and the event was canceled.
All drivers and teams in attendance were awarded 10 points toward the season long USAC Silver Crown Championship standings.
The 2026 USAC Silver Crown Championship season continues this Thursday night, June 25, with the 69th running of the Hoosier Hundred at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park.
