Thursday’s “Sumar Classic” USAC Silver Crown Championship race at the Terre Haute (Ind.) Action Track marks the 20th anniversary of the inaugural won in 1995 by Donnie Beechler. Thursday’s race will feature a battle for series supremacy with six drivers in sight of the point lead entering the race.*

Defending race winner Kody Swanson of Kingsburg, Calif. has a 14-point lead over Aaron Pierce going into Thursday’s race. Last year’s win was one of seven he has posted in the last 14 series outings. He led all but two laps of last year’s “Sumar Classic.”

Prior to Thursday’s race, a 4pm ceremony behind the main grandstand will feature the unveiling of a commemorative plaque erected by the Indiana Racing Memorial Association honoring long-time race organizer Don Smith and the history of the Terre Haute Action Track.

Former race winner Dave Darland (2008) is also expected to compete as he continues his quest for a 100th USAC National feature victory.

Thursday’s race will be recorded and aired on Mav-TV’s “Dirty 30” program at a date and time yet to be determined.

2015 USAC Silver Crown Series Standings: 1-Kody Swanson-218, 2-Aaron Pierce-204, 3-A.J. Fike-198, 4-David Byrne-162, 5-Jerry Coons Jr.-160, 6-Jacob Wilson-159, 7-Bobby Santos-138, 8-Austin Nemire-134, 9-Rex Norris III-127, 10-Patrick Lawson-110.

I know practice starts at 6:30 but does anybody know what time the race is actually suppose to start? Trying to figure out if I have enough time to make it back to go to work. Thanks

I would dare to guestimate, but my best guess would be around 8:30 ish or so..................take in mind it is a hundred lapper..........These tend to take a while.........

Without too many yellows 100 laps on a half-mile won't take that long.

We have been out of there by 10 before.

Before the "Sumar Classic" begins, come a little bit early for a special presentation honoring Don Smith and the Terre Haute Action Track.
