Kyle Larson (Elk Grove, Calif.) has entered with Seam Michael Motorsports for his first Silver Crown appearance since the 2012 season.* His lone Hoosier Hundred start came in 2011, a 12th place finish.* He’s joined by defending Hoosier Hundred winner and two-time USAC National champion, Tyler Courtney (Indianapolis, Ind.), plus four-time Hoosier Hundred winner and five-time series champ Kody Swanson (Kingsburg, Calif.) and two-time USAC National champ, Chris Windom (Canton, Ill.).

Leary (Greenfield, Ind.), Russ Gamester (Peru, Ind.) and series Rookie Logan Seavey (Sutter, Calif.) as well a batch of drivers who’ve won in the USAC Silver Crown division, but are still eying that first Hoosier Hundred triumph with the likes of Aaron Pierce (Muncie, Ind.), John Heydenreich (A.J. Felker Racing), David Byrne (Shullsburg, Wisc.), Shane Cockrum (Benton, Ill.), Justin Grant (Ione, Calif.) and Selinsgrove Silver Crown season opening winner, Shane Cottle (Kansas, Ill.).

Jacob Wilson is also absent?

Kyle Larson gets top billing~ he is exciting to watch, but kind of a slap in the face to the rest of this outstanding entry list. Larson is well known for making more money, that is for sure......

what's wrong with this picture? USAC has talent, but it blossoms on NASCAR's tree.

Add Davey Ray to the list in the Eddie Sachs 25. That's 37 cars. Pretty good for an event that was announced 2 weeks ago. Kudos to all the teams that were able to put everything together to come and run this race!

Seems to me I saw a FB post yesterday indicating that Justin Peck is also competing in the Hoosier Hundred.
