BACON PACES FRIDAY'S BELLEVILLE USAC SILVER CROWN PRACTICE

By: Richie Murray – USAC Media

Belleville, Kansas (May 17, 2024)………Brady Bacon left the Belleville (Kan.) High Banks a USAC Silver Crown winner one year ago.* On Friday night, he and his Chris Dyson Racing No. 9 showed that they’re still the ones to beat at the 1/2-mile dirt oval in 2024.

Bacon (Broken Arrow, Okla.) was the quickest of all in Friday’s USAC Silver Crown practice at Belleville, which served as the final tune-up for teams and drivers before the 50-lap Huncovsky Classic main event set for Saturday night, May 18.

Bacon’s lap of 16.834 seconds was just a tick off Kody Swanson’s Belleville Silver Crown track record of 16.823, set in 2023.* Furthermore, Bacon’s time was four tenths of a second faster than his next closest competitor.

C.J. Leary (Greenfield, Ind.) was second fastest at 17.294 followed by Mario Clouser (Auburn, Ill.) at 17.410.* Defending series champion Logan Seavey (Sutter, Calif.) was fourth at 17.481 while Swanson (Kingsburg, Calif.) rounded out the top-five at 17.491.* Swanson won the event in 2014.

On Saturday night, May 18, at Belleville, it’s a full race day for both the USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midget and USAC Silver Crown divisions.* The pits open at 3pm Central with the front gates opening at 5:30pm, the drivers meeting at 5:30pm and hot laps start at 6:30pm, followed by qualifying and racing.

General admission and reserved tickets are $30.* General admission and reserved tickets for ages 12 and under are $20.* A one-day pit pass is $40 and two-day pit passes are $60.* Advance tickets are on sale now at www.BellevilleHighBanks.org.* Tickets will be available at the gate on both race days.
