The best of all dirt open wheel racing worlds converge at one legendary venue on one major weekend! Rossburg, Ohio’s Eldora Speedway is set for the 44th running of the 4-Crown Nationals Presented By NKTELCO on Thursday-Friday-Saturday night, September 24-25-26.
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.
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.
