USAC Silver Crown Series

A rare tie for the USAC Silver Crown Championship point lead exists entering this Sunday afternoon’s “Memphis 100” at Memphis International Raceway in Millington, Tenn.

Memphis International Raceway in Millington, Tenn. hosts round five of the 2014 USAC Silver Crown Championship Series June 29 and Tracy Hines and Kody Swanson will battle for the point lead in the 100-lap race.

So far this year the USAC Silver Crown Championship Series presented by TRAXXAS has been searching for its 100th feature winner. Since the Swanson family (Kody and Tanner) have dominated victory lane, the first three races have not yielded that historic victory.

USAC Silver Crown point leader Kody Swanson of Kingsburg, Calif. hopes to replace the record he already owns for the fastest qualifying run in “traditional” Silver Crown history when the series visits Gateway Motorsports Park in Madison, Ill. June 14.

Flag Day, June 14, brings the USAC Silver Crown Championship Cars to Gateway Motorsports Park near St. Louis for a 100-mile race expected to be pivotal in the battle for the 2014 title. The weekend at Gateway also includes the NASCAR Camping World Track Series.

Gateway Motorsports Park in Madison, Ill. hosts round four of the 2014 USAC Silver Crown Championship Series June 14 and if past precedent is any indicator a driver named Swanson will probably end up in victory lane.

Once again, USAC’s Silver Crown Championship Series will try to crown a 100th different feature winner when the tradition-rich “Hoosier Hundred” unfolds Thursday at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in Indianapolis.

Bobby Santos of Franklin, Mass. is the defending champion of this Saturday’s USAC “Hall of Fame Classic” Silver Crown Championship race at Lucas Oil Raceway in Indianapolis, Ind. He won the 2012 inaugural while last year’s race fell to the elements.
