Steve started last in each race. In the sprints, he lapped the entire field. In the Silver Crown cars he lapped up to 2nd place, which was Sheldon Kinser. One more lap and he would have lapped him also. One of the most amazing drives I have ever seen.

I believe Earl said that was the best performance and memory at Eldora.

I'll be at either GC or the Bloomington finale.

Interesting way to sell more pit passes for a high cost program

I really hope Eldora & USAC can find a way to keep the 4 Crown in the forefront of late season open wheel racing, to find a combination that works for most involved and build on that. The 4 Crown, regardless of what types of cars make up the program, should be one of USAC's premier enents and at this time it doesn't fill that bill.

I think they should somehow bring back the dirt late models as part of the 4 Crown. I hate to admit it but if the dirt late models aren't running at Eldora the place looks empty in comparison. Doesn't matter if its the King's Royal or the HBO or USAC the dirt lates whip 'em all in regards to attendance.
