The Silver Crown Series started in 1971 with George "Ziggy" Snider taking the title. He also Won the 1981 and 1982 Gold Crown titles. Those were the last years of other pavement tracks being included in the Championship besides Indy of course. As long as USAC sanctioned the 500 in the 80s and 90s, they called it the Gold Crown series until the IRL took over in 1996. USAC still officiated the early years of the IRL though.
