How will the SC race at Gateway affect the turnout for the Burg?

The Silver Crown race starts at noon central time and is only 80 laps. With some luck drivers could make it back to Lawrenceburg if they have a ride in both series. If not, probably won't make a difference at all.

The more I keep thinking about it who was the one who put 2 races at 2 different tracks on the same day makes no sense

I doubt if it will make much of a difference. There is no way they could turn down a Silver Crown race. There would be no other date offered

I understand but if your chasing both points it will be extremely hard to make both.

The Hoosier Hundred and Hoosier Fall classic used to fall on the same day and somebody would charter a chopper bringing four or five drivers like Hood, Staab, Huntley, Blaney who did both.

Not sure how many are doing both, Would be great to see several do it.

Jim,

I think it was after the Silver Crown at Springfield. Different situation though, as that was a dirt race, not pavement.
