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.
Any way you slice it, the odds were stacked against Hayden Reinbold during Saturday night’s 3rd running of the Evans Building Salt City 100 at the Kansas State Fairgrounds in Hutchinson. In what was his first career USAC Silver Crown appearance, Reinbold didn’t even make it to the green flag on the initial start after wall contact in turn four. Restarting 17th, he even went a lap down to the leader just 10 circuits into the 100-lapper.
About two decades ago, Michael Lewis was one of the premier pavement USAC racers of his era before abruptly stepping away from the sport. Now, in 2026, the Noblesville, Indiana native is back in the game and will compete in all six pavement USAC Silver Crown events on the series schedule aboard the Klatt Enterprises No. 6.
