For those who asked (notably J.T. Stapp), Aaron Pierce ranks as the fastest driver in USAC Silver Crown history.
Pierce set the all-time qualifying record of 175.012 mph at Homestead-Miami Speedway in 2006. He also won the fastest race in Silver Crown history, averaging 159.211 mph at Kansas Speedway, also in 2006.
USAC's Dick Jordan, who is in attendance at the Rumble in Fort Wayne, confirmed that USAC regards Pierce as the holder of these records. The subject came up because some tried to differentiate between the current Silver Crown car and the "speedway" version that was used when Pierce set the records.
Pierce's resume, incidentally, includes victories at Chicagoland, Darlington, Kansas and Milwaukee.
