For the first time in nearly four decades, Eldora Speedway will feature an early-ish season event for the USAC Silver Crown National Championship this Saturday night, June 26.

What has been a traditional stop for the champ cars during 4-Crown Nationals weekend in late-September throughout the past 40 years, Silver Crown events at Eldora held outside the Fall weekend have been scarce with Steve Kinser winning in the spring of 1981 and Danny Smith capturing the checkered in his first career series start in 1982.

That 40-year hiatus between running two events for the Big Cars on Eldora’s banks seems to pale in comparison to the nearly two-year absence we’ve endured since the series’ last foray to the Darke County dirt tack, which last hosted the sight of Silver Crown racing in September of 2019.

The wait is over as the birds seem to be in full sing and the United States Auto Club racing season hits full swing.

Brady Bacon (Broken Arrow, Okla.) won the last outing for Silver Crown at Eldora in 2019 and has, in fact, finished inside the top-eight in all five of his series starts there with a 4th in 2016, 5th in 2015, 5th in 2017 and 8th in 2018.

C.J. Leary (Greenfield, Ind.) made a banzai run to the checkered flag in winning the 2018 Silver Crown go at Eldora, in addition to 8th place results there in 2015 and 2019.

Tyler Courtney (Indianapolis, Ind.) has won at Eldora as recently as May in a USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car feature and is one of only seven drivers to win a USAC Silver Crown, USAC National Sprint Car and USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midget race at Eldora in his career.  In Silver Crown at The Big E, Courtney won in 2017 and also started from the pole en route to a 3rd place finish in 2016.

Chris Windom (Canton, Ill.) won his first career USAC Silver Crown race at Eldora in 2013.  He won again there in 2016 during his USAC Silver Crown championship season.  He’s finished as the runner-up twice in both 2014 and 2017, was 3rd in 2015 and 6th in 2019.  Windom’s car owner, Hans Lein, captured an Eldora Silver Crown victory with Courtney in 2017.

Five-time Silver Crown champ Kody Swanson (Kingsburg, Calif.) has never won a race at Eldora.  He’ll have two shots at it this Saturday with both the Silver Crown series and the accompanying Camping World Superstar Racing Experience (SRX) event.  He’ll make his Silver Crown debut for the Mark Swanson Encore Team at Eldora where he’s finished a best of 2nd in 2015 and also won the pole in 2017.  Swanson’s Silver Crown results run the gamut of the top-10 at Eldora with a 4th in 2019, 5th in 2016, 5th in 2018, 8th in 2013, 9th in 2012 and 9th in 2014.

Robert Ballou (Rocklin, Calif.) won the most recent USAC race held at Eldora in May during the second half of the #LetsRaceTwo USAC National Sprint Car weekend, his 6th overall at the track.  He’ll compete for Bill Rose Racing Saturday at Eldora where he earned his best career Silver Crown result of 2nd in 2012.  He’s also been 6th in 2011, 8th in 2010 and 9th in 2017.

Reigning USAC Silver Crown champ Justin Grant (Ione, Calif.) has been victorious three times in USAC National Sprint Car competition at Eldora and has finished solidly at Eldora throughout his Silver Crown career.  Grant took 2nd in 2016, was 3rd in 2019, 6th in 2015, 6th in 2017 and 7th in 2018.

Matt Westfall (Pleasant Hill, Ohio) won his only career USAC National Sprint Car feature at Eldora in 2006.  Meanwhile, at Eldora in a Silver Crown car, he’s been phenomenal in minimal appearances over the past two decades.  He finished a career best 2nd in 2013, was 5th in 2002, 9th in 2004 and 7th in 2019 after charging from the 27th starting position in just 50 laps.

Experience is prevalent throughout the field with a number of USAC National winners finding success in the Silver Crown car at Eldora but are striving for a first victory at the half-mile dirt oval.

Shane Cottle (Kansas, Ill.) leads the USAC Silver Crown National Championship standings entering the weekend.  He won the pole in 2018 and has finished inside the top-five on six occasions, including in each of his past three starts, led by 3rd place results in 2017 and 2018; 4th in 2008 and 2015; 5th in 2006 and 2019, the latter of which he started 24th; and was 9th in 2016.

Shane Cockrum (Benton, Ill.) won the opening Silver Crown round on the dirt last Friday at Williams Grove Speedway in Pennsylvania.  He hasn’t competed with the series at Eldora since 2015, however, in which he turned in impressive results, including a 3rd in 2013, 4th in 2014 and 7th in 2015.

Eric Gordon’s (Fortville, Ind.) USAC Silver Crown experience dates back to 1990 where he finished 7th in his Rookie season, which resulted in a 2nd place finish in the final standings.  Gordon also took 2nd in 1991, 3rd in 1997, 5th in 1994, 6th in 1995, 7th in 1993 and 10th in 2019.

Kevin Thomas Jr. (Cullman, Ala.) has finished 2nd in each of his two Eldora USAC Silver Crown starts in 2018 and 2019, leading a combined 49 laps in the pair of events.  Thomas also earned the pole for the 2019 race with a time of 16.054.

Jason McDougal (Broken Arrow, Okla.) set his first career Fatheadz Eyewear Fast Qualifying time last Friday at Williams Grove, setting a new track record in the process.  In the Crown car at Eldora, he finished 4th in his first career series start in 2018 and started on the front row in 2019.  His Klatt Enterprises ride won the most recent Silver Crown 50-lapper at Eldora with Bacon as the driver in 2019.

One-time USAC Silver Crown race winner David Byrne (Shullsburg, Wis.) finished a best of 8th at Eldora in 2017 while Kyle Robbins (New Castle, Ind.) was 9th in 2018.  Matt Goodnight (Winchester, Ind.) raced form 25th to 9th at Eldora in 2019.

Jerry Nemire made 14 career USAC Silver Crown starts at Eldora between 1981 and 2013, which included 9th place finishes in both 1986 and 1991.  His grandson Austin Nemire (Sylvania, Ohio) has carried the Nemire torch into Silver Crown racing at Eldora over the past half-decade where he’s made five starts, finishing a best of 11th in 2018.

Veterans of Eldora Silver Crown action also include Troy, Missouri’s Chris Fetter (11th in 2016); Decatur, Illinois’ Terry Babb (15th in 1998 & 2002); Levittown, Pennsylvania’s Mike Haggenbottom (15th in 2018); Pendleton, Indiana’s Travis Welpott (17th in 2018); Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania’s Dave Berkheimer (19th in 2018); and Troy, Ohio’s Dallas Hewitt (13th in 2015), whose uncle, Jack Hewitt, is the winningest Silver Crown driver of all-time at Eldora with eight victories.

First-time Eldora USAC Silver Crown visitors include leading series Rookie Logan Seavey (Sutter, Calif.), who finished 3rd twice with the USAC National Midgets at the track in 2018 and 2019.  He’s joined by top-10 Eldora USAC Sprint Car finishers Jake Swanson (Anaheim, Calif.) and Kyle Cummins (Princeton, Ind.), plus 2020 Silver Crown Rookie of the Year Bryan Gossel (Fort Collins, Colo.), top-10 Williams Grove finisher last Friday, Carmen Perigo (Stoystown, Pa.), Casey Buckman (Chandler, Ariz.), first-time Silver Crown entrant Nathan Moore (Kaufman, Texas) and 1981 Eldora USAC Sprint Car winner Dave Peperak (Clinton, Ill.), who will make his first Silver Crown appearance since a 1983 event at the Nazareth (Pa.) National Speedway dirt track!

The busy USAC Silver Crown weekend starts on the pavement Friday night, June 25, at Wisconsin’s Madison International Speedway before the midnight caravan of teams, officials and race fans ride the highway all the way to Ohio’s Eldora Speedway half-mile dirt oval on Saturday where the pits open at 2pm EDT, stands at 3pm and practice at 6pm, followed by racing and concluding with the 50-lap, $8,000-to-win USAC Silver Crown race.
