When’s the last time you did something for the first time?
That’s what USAC Silver Crown competitors face this weekend during the inaugural Murphy Tractor & Equipment Salt City 100 at Hutchinson, Kansas’ Salt City Speedway on Friday-Saturday night, July 19-20.
The first official weekend of summer symbolizes numerous aspects of life to many people. The warm weather, the beaches, the outdoors, the waterpark and other things. For racing fans, it symbolizes the fact that the season is in full swing, and that’s no exception for USAC drivers, teams, officials and fans who hit the highway to head northbound to Wisconsin for the first time during the 2024 season.
The sign at the turn four gate of the Belleville High Banks states boldly and proudly that this place is “where legends are made.” The legend of Kaylee Bryson is still growing, but on Saturday night at the 1/2-mile dirt oval in north central Kansas, she cemented herself in the record books by becoming the first woman to win a USAC nationally sanctioned event in the 69-year history of the organization.
