4 crown cancelled?
 

It looks like the 4 crown is cancelled for this year. Since there is a USAC sprint show scheduled for the Thursday before(the 24th) at Gas City would it make sense to move that show to Friday the 25th then find a track to run the midgets on Saturday the 26th?

No the Lucas oil late models are at Kokomo Friday night 🏁🏁

I would imagine you could find enough USAC fans that dont plan on going to a LM race that you could fill Gas City easily.

Let’s go with a 3 Crown at Terre Haute! Only thing that could come close to filling the void

Maybe 2008 or 2009, then the 'Hut Hundred" was ran @ LPS then TSS?

Then Granite City Illinois for the final time ever if I’m not mistaken?

Google does tell me that it got rained out 2 years in a row so Dan is correct, TSS was the last one...

If I remember correctly,Zach Daum won the last one @ TSS,same year as the Helichopper landed in the infield to airlift @ Swanson to the hospital.

This Covid cancellation at Eldora makes me wonder how many more races will remain on the USAC schedule for this year. Could the Oct races in Indiana be it? I don't think Perris has run any races this year and very few California tracks have run in 2020 either. Is it worthwhile for the car owners, drivers & fans to go the whole way out West just to run 2 races in Arizona? I guess time will tell, but if the West Coast deal pulls the plug it wouldn't surprise me.

I look for the last USAC Sprint race for 2020 to be the race Oct. 3 at Lawrenceburg, unless they schedule a few more locally in Indiana. We have relatives that live in the Phoenix area and they have more limitations on gatherings than Indiana. While at this point anything is still possible, I think it is highly unlikely USAC will go West with the current conditions.

Add sprints to Tri-State Oct 10 and crown champions in both divisions.

If anything happens out West make it non-points.

IRP or Terre Haute. All 3 divisions mid October. Lots of space.
