Now the last driver to WIN both the Hoosier Hundred and the Indy 500 in the same year was Al Unser in 1971. What I would give to see BC accomplish that feat!

Silver Crown Championship Dirt Cars properly driven on a one mile dirt track are classic poetry in motion. Using that analogy, Jack Hewitt is one of the greatest poets of all time.
