The USAC Silver Crown - Champ Car division...

To think where this series was at a few years ago and now there's 40+ pre-entered for Springfield again, wow.

Just want to thank all the series officials and especially the car owners for bringing my favorite series back to life

We've got the cars, now let's get the people in the grandstands! We have 4 friends who are first time Springfield attendees coming in from out of state. I believe they picked the perfect year to lose their Springfield Mile virginity!

We attended 3 nights of ISW and was amazed at the size of the crowds and just a few weeks ago Fairbury American Legion Speedway stopped selling GA tickets because they were completely full for a dirt late model race. Given what we saw at those events we know the race fans are out there and are willing to travel to see top notch racing and considering how great last years' Springfield race was we know these cars and drivers are more than capable of putting on an action packed and exciting race the whole 100 miles. Sure would love to see the owners, drivers, promoter and especially Andy (who got this ball rolling in the right direction), Levi, Spridge and their staff, who have all worked doggedly to restore the luster of USAC's premier division, rewarded with a substantial increase in race attendance! All of them deserve it!

I try to tell everyone that will listen that's new to figure out how to get either on the inside or the outside where they set the cars going into the corner (1 or 3 would work) at the opening of practice...that should finish setting the hook on the new folks for a long time...
