An update thread for any and all updates from today's USAC Silver Crown Series 54th Annual Tony Bettenhausen 100

Looks like a great field of cars here. Can't wait to see them on the track.

34 cars announced in drivers meeting and that is what the draw sheet shows. Great field. Perfect race weather.

Will this be streamed?

Aaron Pierce blew up in practice. Was 2nd quick in practice.

Kody Swanson was quickest of 33 cars at a time of 29.981

Silver Crown qual cont: Bacon 32.055...
As Rickey Hood comes to green it is raining. Could hear tires spinning. Yellow before he took green

Very light rain, little delay in quals

First 3 cars keep times. Starting with David Byrne cars will requalify.

Was a brief light shower. Didn't hurt anything at all.

Can hear much better now on PA. Thanks!
