USAC Silver Crown Championship
USAC Silver Crown Championship
Winning the Bettenhausen 100 requires skill, speed, good timing, and good fortune. Briggs Danner had all of those traits in spades throughout Saturday afternoon’s 63rd running of the Bettenhausen 100 Presented by Hunt Brothers Pizza at the Illinois State Fairgrounds.
For the first time in 11 seasons, the USAC Silver Crown Championship returns to Iowa Speedway this Saturday, August 8. The fast paced Newton, Iowa 7/8-mile paved oval is prime for open wheel champ car action at the Iowa 100 for what is sure to be one of the fastest events of the year, with lap speeds clocking in at a mid-140 mph average.
Admittedly, Dakoda Armstrong hasn’t had the most reciprocal relationship with Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park over the years. Since 2008, he’s raced Midgets, Sprint Cars, Stock Cars, Trucks, and Silver Crown cars at the Brownsburg, Indiana .686-mile paved oval, but had never achieved a victory.
